Free Web NovelChapter 514: Chapter 365: Shuang Province, Frost Soul! (Double-Length)
That is why, in the past, there were many spectacular ice sculptures in Shuang Province, which are precisely the masterpieces of these Frost Souls...
It is also because Frost Souls are unique to Shuang Province that Wang Shifu has identified them as foreign invaders during the Celestial Fiend Devouring the Sun event.
"Then how do we deal with these creatures that are neither demon nor ghost?" Yang Zhen, standing nearby, could not help but ask as he saw the cluster of Frost Souls growing, an expanse of blue that continued to draw closer.
No sooner had he finished speaking than many soldiers suddenly clutched their heads in agony.
Only then did Song Changming remember and shouted loudly, "Do not use your spiritual perception to spy on these Frost Souls!"
Without a doubt, those soldiers were unaware and had their spiritual energy devoured one after another, unlike Song Changming, who responded decisively, resulting in such pain.
This must also be what Wang Shifu was referring to, the method by which Frost Souls devour souls.
When they have completely absorbed all the spiritual power from living beings, those beings naturally have no way to survive, and they become muddle-headed like walking corpses.
It seemed quite natural to say they lost their souls.
Song Changming has always believed that the tiny spirit body in his Nether Sea is his own soul.
"Frost Souls have no physical form, so they are immune to most physical force and slashes from swords and blades. Even innate qi aura has a certain level of immunity effect on them, but it is somewhat more effective than punches or sword attacks."
This time, it was Wang Tianshuang himself explaining to everyone.
Perhaps only he among those present had ever seen these Frost Souls and personally tried to slay them.
Physical force is useless; only gang qi can break through.
This was the conclusion he had reached.
"Additionally, as Changming said, do not use spiritual power, and do not let yourselves get entangled with these Frost Souls," Wang Tianshuang reminded loudly again.
He originally intended to rely on his strong innate gang qi cultivation to eradicate all these Frost Souls single-handedly.
But soon, he realized that the number of Frost Souls was innumerable, and indeed too many were scattered about.
Wang Tianshuang came to realize he couldn’t completely eradicate all the Frost Souls himself, which led him to caution the soldiers.
And in the few exchanges between them, the Frost Souls had entirely dispersed, at a height no more than two to three hundred meters from them.
Wang Tianshuang drew his sword and suddenly slashed towards the sky, releasing a gigantic sword qi formed by innate gang qi.
The sword qi stretched nearly a kilometer across the sky!
The light of the sword illuminated half the sky, forcefully tearing open a massive gash in the enormous blue curtain.
Song Changming saw it clearly; under this extraordinarily powerful sword qi, countless Frost Souls were damaged, with light shadows scattering away.
Just as Song Changming thought Wang Tianshuang’s sword was highly effective, the scattered points of light were absorbed again by other Frost Souls.
After absorbing the energy of their disintegrated companions, the Frost Souls grew even larger, posing an even greater threat.
"Troublesome..." Song Changming already sensed the difficulty.
It’s no wonder that his Grand Marshal had repeatedly warned when these Frost Souls appeared.
Without a physical form, existing only as an energy form, attempting to kill Frost Souls completely is not easy, even for innate powerhouses.
Strong as Wang Tianshuang is, he’s no exception!
Fortunately, the majority of the soldiers in the army possess Qi Refining cultivation strength, and as Wang Tianshuang took action, groups of soldiers fought in units of hundred-man battle arrays.
Powerful gang qi offensives poured into the descending enormous blue curtain like anti-aircraft fire, punching hole after hole.
Song Changming did not draw his saber, but extended both hands.
In each palm, he condensed a purple-gold lotus fire.
The lotus fire was not large, but it emitted an incredibly astonishing energy fluctuation.
The gang qi flowing within was compressed and refined multiple times under Song Changming’s manipulation.
For an ordinary martial artist, such an operation would lead to complete loss of control over their innate gang qi, harming themselves before harming others.
Trying dozens of times might not even succeed once.
But for Song Changming, such high-difficulty qi manipulation is already commonplace.
The two lotus fires were thrown out, suddenly transforming into hundreds of lotus fires the size of basins under the wind in the sky.
"Detonate." As the lotus fires approached the Frost Souls, Song Changming willed.
The next moment, hundreds of lotus fires exploded resoundingly in the sky, blooming like magnificent fireworks.
Song Changming’s Qi Refining cultivation is significantly stronger than it was five years ago.
The Six Earth Martial Veins, combined with the Qi Refiner traits, made this display of purple-gold lotus fire extremely dynamic and incredibly destructive!
Single-handedly, he blasted countless holes into the blue curtain. freewebnσvel.cѳm
Yet, Song Changming’s face did not show much delight.
Just like the might of Wang Tianshuang’s earlier sword, which was undoubtedly stronger than his purple-gold lotus fire, it was still difficult to harm many Frost Souls and alter the situation.
His attempt was no exception.
The shattered Frost Souls quickly merged with other Frost Souls, further empowering their companions.
Some Frost Souls, upon absorbing energy from others, grew larger and larger, becoming a huge monstrosity, extremely prominent.
Others chose to split, reverting back into two or three.
"What on earth are these things..." Yang Zhen felt extremely troubled after consecutively unleashing several gang qi with minimal results.
Wang Tianshuang suddenly soared into the sky, holding in his hand a large knife bursting with thunder light.
Song Changming saw clearly that this large knife was an artifact, and definitely not of low rank!
Before he could scrutinize it, Wang Tianshuang was already swinging this large knife, his entire body’s innate gang qi erupting like a volcano, causing the Frost Souls not to dare approach too closely.
Eight Extremes Skill: Thunderous Mount Tai!
Boom!
The firmament resounded with a thunderclap that seemed to shatter the heavens!
The terrifying sword qi formed thunder chains, appearing endless, penetrating Frost Souls, linking them together, forming a massive thunder net in the sky.
Bang, bang, bang!
In just seconds, Frost Souls began to explode one after another under the thunderous blade qi.
This time, the shattered Frost Souls did not have their energy snatched by others, but under this strong thunderous blade qi, were ground down further, until they were completely exhausted and ceased to exist.
"Kill!"
Wang Tianshuang’s blade struck, and then Wang Shifu, Yang Zhen, and other Little Flag Masters decisively led numerous strong generals in the army in a charge towards the sky.
Brilliant streaks of light shot upwards, with the generals’ bodies enveloped in gang qi, continuously smashing Frost Souls, and then eradicating them with thunder.
With the massive supply convoy beneath them, there was absolutely no room for failure.
Therefore, these suddenly appearing Frost Souls must not be allowed to reach the ground.
Song Changming also soared with the wind, traveling by qi, flying into the air.
Facing the Frost Souls up close, he felt waves of ice-cold energy radiating from them, freezing not only his body but also his mental resolve!
Song Changming could clearly feel his Nether Sea and spiritual body being impacted by this icy energy.
Anyone whose mental resolve is not strong enough would probably collapse without a fight after merely facing these Frost Souls a few times.
In Song Changming’s Nether Sea, a massive ice body emerged, also exuding a cooling sensation, protecting Song Changming’s spirit body and the entire Nether Sea, keeping them unmoved and unaffected by the Frost Souls’ impact.
Ice Heart Purification Technique.
This visualization technique, acquired early on specifically to hone his mental faculties, still proves effective even now.
Song Changming’s spiritual power is sufficiently strong, thanks to this Ice Heart Purification Technique.
The Frost Soul sometimes transformed into a flat oval, sometimes into a monster, and sometimes morphed into the visage of a ferocious humanoid face.
Ever-changing, strange and bizarre.
As Song Changming approached, this Frost Soul suddenly found its target and floated towards him.
Simultaneously, several surrounding Frost Souls seemed to be drawn by magnetism, converging on Song Changming without prior agreement.
They feed on spiritual power, and to them, Song Changming’s level of spiritual power is extremely attractive, like a magnet attracting them.
Song Changming’s face remained calm, still without drawing his blade, but instead he raised his hand and casually punched forward.
He had just tested the effect of innate gang qi against these Frost Souls.
It could be said that while innate gang qi indeed had an effect on these mysterious energy forms, it still wasn’t lethal enough.
Now, he wanted to try physical attacks!
