Chapter 4 The Power of Mental Detection
The previous Thunder Dragon Claw was just a probing attack. If the Mandragora Snake thought it had dodged the attack and attacked, then the second soul skill, Thunderous Might, was the real trap. As long as it was covered by electricity, the Thunder Dragon Claw would catch up from behind. Even if it couldn't seriously injure the Mandragora Snake, the paralyzing effect of the lightning would give Beibei the upper hand.
However, the power of a thousand-year-old soul beast is not just a matter of words. As the lightning closed, a cloud of pink mist spewed from the mouth of the Mandala Snake, spreading a sweet fragrance ten times stronger than before.
Tang Ya quickly retreated with Huo Yuhao, fearing that they would get even a little bit contaminated, and for the first time, a look of worry appeared on her pretty face.
The lightning bolts, formed from the thunder's might, were sprayed with the pink poisonous mist, and it was as if they had been splashed with water. The power remained, but they instantly became fragmented.
The Mandragora Serpent revealed its ferocious side, its body suddenly straightening in mid-air, crashing head-on into the lightning. It actually managed to create a gap in the thunderous force, and as it flew out, its tail lashed out, the tip glowing a bright pink light, striking the pursuing lightning dragon claw and shattering BeiBei's first soul skill into pieces.
However, Bei Bei's attack was not entirely ineffective. As one of the most powerful beast spirits, his attack power was among the top in the same level of spirit masters. Although the Mandragora Snake was fierce, after breaking through two thunder spirit skills, a layer of fine lightning appeared on its body, and its body became stiff. After landing, it was unable to continue its attack.
Beibei also did not pursue. The pink poisonous mist spread in the air, and he dared not touch it at all. As he quickly retreated, he had a porcelain bottle in his hand. He poured out a pill, took it, and then threw the bottle at Tang Ya.
Tang Ya took the porcelain bottle, poured out two pills, ate one herself, and put the other into Huo Yuhao's mouth.
"Beibei, let me help you," Tang Ya said while taking her medicine.
Beibei shook her head and said, "This guy is tough to deal with; we'll probably have to prepare for a long battle. The battle's fluctuations could easily attract other soul beasts. You keep an eye on our surroundings; I'll handle him myself. Also, protect Yuhao."
It's time to help! With a firm resolve, Huo Yuhao quickly channeled his soul power into his spiritual eyes. A pale golden light reappeared in his deep blue eyes, and a shimmering white soul ring rose from beneath his feet.
On the surface, there were no other signs, but in the next moment, Bei Bei and Tang Ya were both shocked, their eyes revealing their astonishment.
Under their watchful gaze, time seemed to slow down, everything around them became exceptionally clear, and a wealth of information instantly flooded their minds. As Beibei stared at the Mandragora Serpent, the distance between him and the serpent appeared in his mind, even the subtle shifts in the power of every muscle in the serpent's body. Every minute detail was clearly presented deep within his mind.
Both Bei Bei and Tang Ya immediately thought of Huo Yuhao. Was this Huo Yuhao's first soul skill? How could it be so amazing?
If a ten-year spirit ring can have such a miraculous effect, Xiao Yuhao's martial soul potential might be even greater than I imagined.
Bei Bei and Tang Ya attributed Huo Yuhao's amazing abilities to his mutated martial soul, unaware that he was actually using not one but two soul skills, each with a lifespan of a million years.
Only a powerful Soul Master like Beibei, coupled with the X-ray vision cheat, can maximize the advantage of her vision.
On the battlefield, a deep rumble suddenly erupted from Bei Bei's body. Intense blue-purple lightning crackled around him, and the scales on his right arm rapidly spread across his body, covering his right chest as well. His aura surged instantly. His purple third spirit ring also shone with dazzling brilliance.
The skill of a thousand-year-old soul ring: Thunderous Fury.
Although Bei Bei was young, he possessed exceptional combat talent. With Huo Yuhao's mental detection and mental sharing support, he knew his chance had come. Not knowing how long Huo Yuhao could hold out, he immediately unleashed his strongest abilities with all his might.
Blue-purple lightning crackled within the dragon claw that formed from his right hand, and a thunderous dragon claw, twice the size of the previous one, condensed and reappeared. However, this time, Beibei did not unleash it directly. Instead, he flashed forward and pounced towards the Thousand-Year Mandala Serpent.
The datura snake was cunning. Seeing that the aura emanating from Beibei made it feel a considerable degree of danger, it decided to retreat. It suddenly spat a mouthful of poisonous mist at Beibei's face and turned to run away.
"Hmph!" Bei Bei snorted coldly, his gaze suddenly deepening. A layer of fine crackling electricity burst forth from his body, forcefully dispelling the poisonous mist. At the same time, his right hand, the Thunder Dragon Claw, slashed out to the left front of him.
At this moment, Huo Yuhao's mental detection effect was fully revealed. It was because he shared his mental detection with Bei Bei that Bei Bei was able to accurately judge the actions of the Mandragora Serpent.
The datura snake sprang up, heading towards Beibei's left front, and at that moment a huge suction force appeared in its path, as if it had deliberately run into it.
With a powerful suction, the momentum of the datura snake was instantly neutralized, and it was pulled towards Beibei.
Faced with a life-or-death crisis, the Mandragora suddenly erupted, a bright pink light shining from its head, a hissing scream rang out, and the flower-like protrusion on its head suddenly burst open, sending a stream of pink blood flying straight towards Beibei.
However, Bebe once again anticipated the attack. Just before the flower-like protrusion exploded, his Thunder Dragon Claw on his right hand slammed out, striking the Mandragora Serpent precisely at the moment the protrusion burst open.
The pink blood arrow had barely flown a few inches when it was blasted apart, but Beibei was still covered in a cold sweat.
Because his lightning dragon claw was instantly assimilated into pink upon contact with the pink blood, a characteristic of soul power being eroded. If it were to strike him, it might erode his own body instead...
If he hadn't anticipated the enemy's move and blocked the blood arrow with a ranged attack in time, things would have been much more troublesome.
With a flash, Beibei charged forward, its Thunder Dragon Claw attaching to its right hand. This time, the Thousand-Year-Old Mandala Serpent had no way to resist. Beibei's right claw accurately grabbed its vital spot. It tried to entangle Beibei with its body, but Beibei unleashed a terrifying bolt of lightning that knocked it unconscious.
The Thousand-Year-Old Mandragora Serpent is renowned for its formidable physique and lightning-fast speed. However, in the hands of Bei Bei, who possesses a powerful martial soul, its defenses are utterly negligible. In his Thunderous Fury state, Bei Bei unleashed the full force of his dragon claws, crushing the serpent's head with a cracking sound. Its bones seemed poised to shatter at any moment.
"Xiaoya," Beibei called out softly.
Tang Ya naturally wouldn't let such a good opportunity pass by. She quickly brought Huo Yuhao to the side of the Mandala Snake, and a throwing knife about half a foot long appeared in her hand. She threw it directly into the snake's mouth that Bei Bei had pinched open, ending the life of this thousand-year-old Mandala Snake.
A purple spirit ring slowly condensed from the head of the mandala snake. Only then did Beibei breathe a sigh of relief, and the lightning gradually subsided.
