Chapter 135: Breakthrough, Movement.
The old man immediately possessed his spirit and attacked Xuan Mo.
As the opponent charged, Xuan Mo remained calm, a smile on his face…
Meanwhile, Flame Leopard, possessed by his spirit, rushed towards Ma Hongjun.
The Flame Leopard's spirit was the inherited spirit of the Fire Leopard Sect: a fire leopard, swift and ferocious.
Flame Leopard's four spirit rings were the perfect combination of two yellow and two purple. At around seventeen years old, with a cultivation level of forty-first, he was a promising rising star in the spirit master world.
Now, Xuan Mo felt a pity, as his rising star was about to fall at the hands of Ma Hongjun.
With the support of Ning Rongrong and Oscar, and with Ma Hongjun's Fire Phoenix spirit, he could, at a level thirty-ninth, rival Flame Leopard, a forty-first Soul Master.
At this moment, Xuan Mo had already focused his attention on the old man charging towards him. His martial spirit was merely that of a lion, and its spirit rings were one white, two yellow, and one purple; he was hardly a concern.
The old man, without holding back, unleashed a deafening roar at Xuan Mo.
He then brazenly unleashed his most prized fourth spirit skill, a sonic attack—the Lion King's Roar!
This attack would have severely damaged a spirit master of lower cultivation or even slightly weaker physical strength. After all, sonic spirit skills were extremely rare in the spirit master world, suggesting he was fortunate.
However, it was of no use to Xuan Mo. With the Taotie spirit bloodline and the tempering of his body through ice and fire, Xuan Mo's physical fortitude was undoubtedly comparable to that of a level 58 Soul King.
Moreover, Xuan Mo's spirit power was no less than his opponent's, not to mention the quality of his spirit power and spirit rings, which were significantly higher. Therefore, for the Fire Leopard Sect elder, this fight was simply him overestimating his own abilities.
Unleashing his martial spirit, Xuan Mo activated his first and second spirit abilities, transforming into a cloak of purple-black armor. The visible sonic attack slammed into his body, but caused no damage at all.
Only his clothing rippled slightly.
"Old man, you're old. You're simply too weak," Xuan Mo said, his fourth spirit ring igniting, a flash of black light.
Immediately afterwards, in the elder's eyes, a purple-black light shone before Xuan Mo, and all other surrounding light seemed to be absorbed by Xuan Mo's light.
The elder was pinned down by Xuan Mo's third spirit ability, "Heavy Rock Intention," unable to move an inch.
The next moment, a blazing light of annihilation erupted, and the old man's consciousness gradually faded from the world.
Before his death, the old man could never imagine how a spirit master, seemingly younger than himself, could unleash such a powerful attack.
He was filled with regret, knowing his young master was doomed. He blamed himself and his companions for their greed, and also blamed himself for not using any spirit power to protect himself.
Xuan Mo's fourth spirit skill, annihilation and blazing light, pierced the old man's body with a destructive aura.
However, thanks to the old man's carelessness, he hadn't used any protection at all. With the support of Ning Rongrong and himself, Xuan Mo's attack was a full-force, powerful, and decisive blow, effectively a fatal blow.
Meanwhile, watching the old man die and turn to ash, Yan Bao felt a surge of despair. Now, entangled by the Fire Phoenix spirit before him, he was uncertain whether he could win. If Xuan Mo intervened, he would surely perish.
Seeing this, Yan Bao's heart ached.
There was no way he could escape this time. The only thing he could do was fight to the death. Since he was going to die anyway, he might as well take someone with him.
But when Flame Leopard saw Xuan Mo shielding Ning Rongrong and Oscar, two support-type spirit masters, behind him, he knew his chances of securing either were over.
So, Flame Leopard unleashed his full force, each strike deadly, completely abandoning his own defenses. This desperate attack suddenly intensified Ma Hongjun's pressure.
However, facing this situation, Xuan Mo simply shielded Ning Rongrong and Oscar while observing his surroundings for any sudden attacks from other spirit beasts or spirit masters.
His goal, like last time, was to give Ma Hongjun this opportunity to break through to level 40.
...
"Huh... I finally killed him!"
Ma Hongjun gasped, collapsing to the ground. It turned out that just now, Ma Hongjun had used his third spirit skill, "Phoenix Flame Field," for the first time, to kill Flame Leopard and then, finally, set it on fire, leaving it in ruins.
"Little Ao."
Xuan Mo saw this and called out to Oscar.
Oscar didn't hesitate, immediately conjuring several large recovery sausages and giving them to Ma Hongjun to help him regain his soul power.
Not long after, when Ma Hongjun had recovered enough to continue on his journey, Xuan Mo said,
"Oscar, quickly whip up some mushroom sausages. Let's get out of here. As for the breakthrough, we'll talk about it later."
Ma Hongjun and the others naturally agreed. After consuming the mushroom sausages, a pair of wings materialized behind them, and they left at breakneck speed.
Not long after Xuan Mo and the others left, several soul masters, attracted by the news, began to gather at the site
...
Night fell.
Xuan Mo and his four companions had found a cave high in the mountains. This space was, after all, an unknown and dangerous place.
Furthermore, the constant roars of spirit beasts echoed through the night forest, making Xuan Mo and his companions afraid to settle down there.
At that moment, Xuan Mo, holding a chicken leg in one hand and a wine gourd in the other, appeared to be leisurely leaning against a rock wall, but in reality, he was vigilantly monitoring his surroundings, never letting his guard down. He periodically glanced into the cave. Ning Rongrong was absorbing spirit bones there, while Ma Hongjun was seizing the opportunity to break through to level 40.
Oscar, on the other hand, stayed by Ning Rongrong and Ma Hongjun's side, preventing any unforeseen events.
Fortunately, everything went smoothly.
Not long after, a phoenix cry and a delicate cry emanated from the cave. Then, Xuan Mo sensed a surge of spirit power within the cave, radiating outward.
Just as Xuan Mo stood up, Ma Hongjun, Ning Rongrong, and Oscar emerged from the cave. However, the first person to meet Xuan Mo was Ning Rongrong, who rushed over and was immediately embraced by Xuan Mo.
"Rongrong, Fatty, you've both broken through."
"Yes, you're already level 40. You only need one more spirit ring to become a Spirit Master," Ma Hongjun said, clenching his fist. This made Oscar, standing nearby, look a little envious.
Suddenly, at that moment, a loud crashing sounded from not far away in the forest.
This immediately attracted the attention of the four people. Xuan Mo's expression was immediately shocked.
He quickly devoured the chicken leg, returned the wine gourd to his spirit guide, and called the four people to the scene.
In a short while, Xuan Mo and the other four arrived at the scene. They stood behind a cliff, watching the events unfolding ahead.
Xuan Mo saw the situation and assumed that the spirit masters who had entered this space had fought over something and were looking to fish in troubled waters to see if there was anything they could do.
But what Xuan Mo and the others didn't expect was that two soul beasts actually started fighting in the forest.
