Chapter 80: Tianlin Crushes the Charm Demon, Achieving a Complete Victory

"Brother, Yan was kicked off the stage, and I can no longer launch any spiritual attacks. Our only chance lies in that move, but this time, you have to take the lead," Hu Liena said weakly. "Alright, sister, don't worry. This time, I'll make sure to kill all three of them, especially that Tianlin!" Xie Yue's hatred for Tianlin had reached its peak, and he was desperate to strike him down. The two released their respective four soul rings. Hu Liena's soul rings lit up in a precise sequence, starting from the fourth, followed by the third, second, and first. With each flash, the red glow around her grew increasingly radiant. At the same time, Xie Yue, holding his twin moon blades, moved as well. Standing side by side with Hu Liena, they were both enveloped in the red glow, which then began to spread outward like a fog, seemingly intent on covering the entire battle arena. "Soul fusion skill!" Ning Fengzhi exclaimed, his heart tightening with anxiety. He had thought victory was within their grasp, but he hadn't expected the Spirit Hall to have such a trump card. A soul fusion technique performed by two Soul Elders above level 40 could rival the power of a high-level Soul King. Judging by the scale of this technique, it was clear that their ultimate move possessed terrifying power. "Heh, old bones, now tell me which side is in more danger," Ghost Douluo gloated, savoring his moment. Gu Rong and Ning Fengzhi shared the same unease, but on the other side, Dugu Bo and Chenxin wore strange smirks. Facing Tianlin, they thought, why would you choose to use a domain-type soul fusion skill? You're in for a miserable time. Tianlin smiled faintly. Without waiting for the red fog to spread to his side, he stepped forward, sword in hand, and walked into it. "This guy has a death wish," Yan sneered immediately. He was well aware of how powerful Xie Yue and Hu Liena's soul fusion skill was—strong enough to instantly kill even him if he stepped into it. Once inside the red fog, Tianlin utilized the insight of his Flame Gold Eyes to see clearly. The original two people had fused into one—a long-haired figure, with no discernible gender. In their hand, they wielded Xie Yue's moon blades, though these blades were now more than twice their original size. "I didn't expect you to walk willingly into this death trap. Behold our soul fusion skill: Charm Demon!" A voice, mixing both male and female tones, spoke. "A genderless soul fusion skill? It looks fancy, but I bet it has no practical value," Tianlin taunted mercilessly. Even at this stage, Tianlin's disdain infuriated Xie Yue, who was leading the fusion. Enraged, Xie Yue charged forward, swinging the massive moon blades. "Seven Kill Sword Technique: Killing Intent Spreads, Heaven and Earth Ruthless, Blood Drenches the Rivers!" Tianlin unleashed the first three forms of the Seven Kill Sword Technique, engaging Xie Yue in an intense duel. Although Tianlin's soul power was slightly inferior to the fused pair, the exquisite swordsmanship of the Seven Kill Sword Technique left Xie Yue struggling to keep up. Xie Yue had always relied on the raw power of the moon blades and his deep soul power reserves to dominate opponents. In the red fog, where visibility was non-existent, he typically did not need refined techniques—his opponents were helpless. But today, he encountered Tianlin, who, aided by an external soul bone, could see everything clearly in the fog. "Bang!" Xie Yue was once again forced back by Tianlin's sword. "Impressive—forcing us into this position even in our soul fusion state. In that case, don't blame me for what happens next. Die under this move—my self-created soul skill, Full Moon!" Xie Yue began spinning like a whirlwind. Before Tianlin's eyes, he transformed into a massive, silent spinning disk—a perfect circle that seemed to devour everything in its path. This was Xie Yue's most powerful ultimate move. It could be unleashed individually or during the soul fusion state of Charm Demon. When used alone, with his current level-40 soul power, it could rival a Soul King's strength. When used in the Charm Demon state, it was potent enough to kill a Soul Emperor. However, this move came at a great cost—it consumed an enormous amount of soul power. Once executed, Xie Yue's soul power would be completely drained, forcing the Charm Demon state to dissolve due to exhaustion. In short, if this move failed to defeat the opponent, there would be no chance for a comeback. That Xie Yue was using it now showed how desperate Tianlin had pushed him. "Die! This move is flawless. Let's see how you counter it!" Xie Yue said coldly. "I can't counter a soul skill like that," Tianlin admitted helplessly. Just as Xie Yue thought he had resigned himself to his fate, Tianlin's tone shifted. "But while I can't break your Full Moon, I can break your soul fusion. Take this—Third Soul Skill: Flow of Wind and Water!" Outside the battlefield, the spectators were anxiously watching the red fog. The Charm Demon technique was indeed formidable—even Titled Douluo couldn't discern what was happening inside. All they could hear were the clashing sounds of weapons. They guessed it was Xie Yue's moon blades clashing with Tianlin's sword. But now, everything had gone eerily silent. Ning Rongrong and Gu Ran were sweating nervously. "Hmph, you should just accept it. A mere Soul Elder could never withstand this soul fusion skill," Ghost Douluo said confidently, eagerly anticipating Ning Fengzhi's reaction when they saw Tianlin's corpse. But the next moment, his smugness was shattered. A figure was flung out of the red fog—it was Hu Liena. A footprint was visible on her chest—she had been kicked out. "It's... Liena? How is that possible?" Ghost Douluo's face was filled with disbelief. With Hu Liena's expulsion, the Charm Demon state was naturally broken. The red fog began to dissipate, revealing the scene within. To everyone's shock, Xie Yue's moon blades had been knocked out of his hands. His body was covered in wounds, bleeding profusely, and he was being held by the neck, lifted into the air by Tianlin. As for Tianlin, aside from some disheveled clothing, he was completely unharmed. The outcome was clear. "Hey, weren't you going to kill me? Is this how you planned to do it—like a rabbit being dangled in the air, completely powerless? Honestly, you three are supposed to be the 'Golden Generation' of the Spirit Hall, but after today, I can't see where your so-called talent lies," Tianlin mocked mercilessly. With his throat being held, Xie Yue couldn't speak, even if he wanted to retort. "Let go of my brother!" Hu Liena's weak voice called out. She struggled to stand but was too exhausted to even get up. "Why bother? Just stay down. I don't intend to kill you. Ghost Douluo, your disciple is coming back to you!" Tianlin flung Xie Yue out of the field, and Ghost Douluo rushed to catch him. Finally, Tianlin approached Hu Liena, pressing his sword to her forehead. "Still not surrendering? With just a slight push, my sword will pierce straight through your skull." Hu Liena glared at Tianlin with unwillingness in her eyes. If she could, she would have loved to battle him again. But with the soul fusion broken, her spiritual power was completely drained. In the end, she had no choice but to admit, "This time, we surrender!"
