Chapter 106: Annihilate
"Xiaoqiang, kill it."
Hearing Long Ao's words, Long Qiang tilted his head back and let out a Dragon's Roar. Immediately after, his body shot forward. Before he even arrived, his terrifying momentum bore down heavily.
The Fire Dragon seemed somewhat suppressed and retreated several steps. If Long Ming hadn't forcibly stopped it, the Fire Dragon would have already fled.
The Level suppression from the Giant Dragon left the Fire Dragon too afraid to resist in the slightest.
Seeing his companion trying to flee, Long Ming's expression changed instantly. 'Could it be that the opponent's Giant Dragon is a higher Level than my Fire Dragon?'
With no path of retreat, the Fire Dragon was forced to fight. In the blink of an eye, it viciously collided with Long Qiang. As for Long Ao, he gave a cold sneer and dashed forward.
Without the Fire Dragon's help, Long Ming was like a man with his arms cut off, completely restricted. Because of this, Long Ao was no longer suppressed by the Fire Dragon, and the tables had turned.
The two dragons battled, and Long Ao and Long Ming battled. The division of labor was clear.
Even without the Fire Dragon's help, Long Ming was still fully confident. The Fusion Realm was a cut above the Evolution Realm, after all.
But as soon as they began to fight, Long Ao's strength deeply shocked Long Ming. He unleashed the first three techniques of the Blood-Drinking Eight Techniques: the first, Netherworld Nine-Link Strike; the second, Ice-Sealed Heart Devourer; and the third, Sea of Blazing Flames. The power of the three techniques stacked together was immense.
Not only that, but Long Ao had also simultaneously used the Soul-Sealing Seal, sending it silently to invade Long Ming's body.
But to Long Ao's shock, the Soul-Sealing Seal was completely unable to invade Long Ming's body. 'What's going on?'
Long Ao had always been confident in his Soul-Sealing Seal. It was practically infallible. But now, it couldn't even enter Long Ming's body.
Left with no other choice, Long Ao could only rely on his Blood-Drinking Eight Techniques. He continuously stacked the three techniques, each strike growing stronger than the last, each one ferocious.
As the battle escalated, Long Ming gradually found himself unable to hold on. The longer he fought, the more terrified he became. This was especially true for the dragon battle to the side, where his Fire Dragon was also beginning to fail.
"No!"
He watched as Long Ao's companion completely suppressed his Fire Dragon and began to devour it—flesh, blood, and all, taking one bite after another.
Never mind Long Ming, even Long Ao was utterly shocked. He had never imagined the little guy would be so domineering and bloodthirsty, actually eating the Fire Dragon's flesh bite by bite until nothing was left.
After eating the entire Fire Dragon, Long Qiang seemed unsatisfied. Without the slightest hesitation, he shot rapidly toward Long Ming.
Just like that, Long Ming, who had originally held the upper hand, was now being completely suppressed by Long Ao. With Long Qiang's help, Long Ao was like a tiger that had grown wings.
At this moment, Long Ming knew with certainty that with his current strength, it was impossible to defeat his opponent.
If he weren't experiencing it firsthand, he wouldn't have believed it even if it killed him. How could he, with his Fusion Realm strength, be unable to defeat a mere Evolution Realm cultivator?
Unable to defeat his opponent, Long Ming prepared to turn and flee. But would Long Ao let him?
Having witnessed Long Qiang's power, Long Ao was fully confident. With their combined strength, he was certain they could keep Long Ming from leaving.
Weeds must be pulled out by the roots, lest they grow again.
For this very reason, Long Ao had no intention of letting Long Ming escape. He and Long Qiang pressed forward, attacking viciously from the left and right.
Long Ao once again used the Soul-Sealing Seal that had failed to invade before. And just as he expected, Long Ming's mind was now in turmoil. The Soul-Sealing Seal silently entered his body and began to corrode his soul.
Already in a state of mental chaos, Long Ming was horrified to feel a strange power begin to corrode his soul. Not daring to be the least bit careless, he circulated all the power in his body to resist the force eroding his soul from within.
Long Ao would not let such a golden opportunity slip by. He rapidly swung the Blood-Drinking Mad Saber in his hand, executing three strikes—the first three techniques of the Blood-Drinking Eight Techniques.
The first three techniques of the Blood-Drinking Eight Techniques—Netherworld Nine-Link Strike, Ice-Sealed Heart Devourer, and Sea of Blazing Flames—were stacked together and viciously chopped down toward Long Ming.
Under normal circumstances, Long Ming could have dodged it with one hundred percent certainty. But now, completely focused on resisting the power corroding his soul, he was utterly unable to block Long Ao's full-powered attack.
The full-powered strike from the Blood-Drinking Mad Saber chopped down viciously, cleaving Long Ming in two from head to toe.
The Blood-Drinking Mad Saber was incredibly bloodthirsty. It immediately began devouring Long Ming's blood. In just one short minute, all of his blood was completely absorbed, before Long Ao even had a chance to deal with his soul.
Long Ao had thought the Blood-Drinking Mad Saber must have absorbed Long Ming's soul, but he found that it hadn't. Pleasantly surprised, he immediately placed Long Ming's soul and the Fire Dragon's soul into the Dragon Seal Space, preparing to refine them into Soul Slaves.
Long Ao knew very well that he currently only had six Evolution Realm Soul Slaves. If he encountered a Fusion Master, he would still have to act himself. Just like now—he had struggled to resist the combined power of the Fire Dragon and Long Ming.
If he could refine Long Ming and the Fire Dragon into Soul Slaves, then he would be able to eliminate even a Fusion Master with ease the next time he encountered one.
Looking at the corpse on the ground, Long Ao finally let out a long sigh of relief.
Having successfully slain Long Ming and the Fire Dragon, Long Ao's consciousness entered the Dragon Seal Space.
"Long Fu, I have the three souls of Luo Cheng, Long Ming, and the Fire Dragon. Find a way to help me refine them into Soul Slaves. How long will it take?"
"Three days. If I push it, I can probably succeed in a day and a half. But Master, after these three Soul Slaves are successfully refined, I plan to help you refine the subsequent souls into power. Master, your own strength is what's most important."
Nodding, Long Ao certainly understood Long Fu's meaning. He was right. It was better to rely on oneself than on others. His own strength was the most important thing. No matter how many Soul Slaves he had, their power was not his own.
In any case, having the Soul Slaves of Luo Cheng, Long Ming, and the Fire Dragon was enough. The remaining souls just needed to be refined into power to help him and Long Qiang break through.
After all, both he and the little guy had the Desolate Constitution, and the amount of power they needed was immense. If they relied solely on normal absorption, who knew how long it would take to break through a single Level. Therefore, the power that Long Fu refined with the help of the Blood Pool was more suitable for helping them break through.
"Master, I didn't expect your strength to advance so quickly. I just sensed it. Your Soul-Sealing Seal has already reached the Great Success stage. Therefore, Master, you can now continue refining the next Seal Technique."
Nodding, Long Ao was filled with anticipation for the Destruction Seal Technique. The first Seal Technique alone, the Soul-Sealing Seal, was already so powerful. He couldn't even imagine how strong the next ones would be. The very thought filled him with excitement.
