Chapter 92: Chapter 78: Locking Bamboo Horse, Shattering War Soul, Earning First Prayer!

On the square, sudden changes erupted.

The bamboo horse glowed brightly, suddenly turned its head, and charged toward Zhao Xing with the force of Mount Tai descending.

Two people instantly recognized the true power of the bamboo horse.

One was Hu Yang. As a Mechanical Master, he was naturally familiar with it because the bamboo horse was a type of Mechanical Beast and one of the most classic ones.

Ordinary bamboo horses, even if they reached third-tier top-grade, found it challenging to develop strong spiritual power, but the bamboo horse Yang Junxiong rode not only had spiritual power but was also extremely formidable.

Having followed its master across numerous battlefields for many years, it had already transformed into a ’War Soul’!

Through countless battles, the bamboo horse War Soul had also gained powerful combat instincts, and its combat strength was on par with its master!

When Yang Junxiong reached the superior grade on the mountain, the War Soul’s spiritual power in the bamboo horse also got enhanced.

It was equivalent to both man and horse having reached the superior grade!

The second person who noticed something amiss was Du Jiaojiao. Her keen eyesight had reached the ninth transition, and when Yang Junxiong left the bamboo horse, a phantom of Yang Junxiong appeared on the bamboo horse’s back.

In her perception, two superior-grade auras emerged!

Yang Junxiong’s separation of man and horse was clearly premeditated.

If the Mountain Cat tried to stop him, the bamboo horse would heavily wound Zhao Xing, but if he went to save someone, Yang Junxiong could enter the temple with incense.

On the final night, he finally stopped hiding and revealed his true trump card.

"Boom~"

The bamboo horse stepped into the air, seemingly bringing the force of a thousand troops and horses.

Zong Shichang and the people around him felt their breaths hitching; a heavy pressure descended upon them, causing his legs to tremble.

Fortunately, a temple clerk was beside him, sensed the presence of the War Soul, and retreated explosively with Zong Shichang in an instant.

However, the others seemed unable to react in time or were pinned in place by the bamboo horse’s overwhelming pressure, unable to move.

Just as everyone thought Zhao Xing was doomed, a calm voice rang out:

"Don’t come back to save me, focus on fighting that big guy."

"Hmm? Under the influence of the War Soul’s Evil Qi, he can still talk?" Yang Junxiong glanced at Zhao Xing, who stood tall and unaffected.

"A mere soldier dares to call himself a War Soul?!" Zhao Xing’s head was surrounded by ethereal clouds; he raised his five fingers to the sky, and his body emitted a burst of lightning.

"Zzzz~"

From his fingertips, purple lightning suddenly emerged and quickly formed into five chains following intricate patterns.

It was his self-created spell, the Thunderbolt Noose!

"Go!"

The Thunderbolt Noose danced like a lively lightning snake, heading straight for the War Soul.

"Kill!"

The War Soul’s phantom raised its spear, sweeping through thousands of troops, but the Thunderbolt Noose was incredibly nimble, avoiding entanglement with the War Soul and whipping at the bamboo horse instead.

"Boom!" The clash of purple and red light instantly weakened the Evil Qi by three parts.

"Boom boom boom boom!"

Five consecutive lashes of the noose struck, moving so quickly that people couldn’t react in time.

The bamboo horse War Soul was experienced, but it managed to deflect only two of the five nooses with its spear.

The other three bypassed it entirely.

This was the brilliance of the Yin Thunder Skill. Unlike the brute force of the Thunder Palm, Yin Thunder was exceptionally fast and extremely agile. When it encountered the spear, instead of dispersing, it lightly bounced and latched onto the bamboo horse’s neck.

"Zzzz~"

The spot where the lightning entwined with the bamboo horse sparked, significantly reducing the horse’s speed and halting its momentum.

"What?!" Yang Junxiong was greatly shocked. He had anticipated the Mountain Cat might block his bamboo horse, but he never expected Zhao Xing, a Gathering Essence Ninth Rank Minister of Agriculture, to have a way to stop it.

In that split second of distraction, "Bam!" Yang Junxiong felt a heavy blow to his chest, sending him flying uncontrollably backward.

Mountain Cat’s secret technique, Heavy Wind Strike!

The Mountain Cat had used its hind legs to stomp Yang Junxiong’s chest fiercely. The Heavy Wind Strike, leveraging Wind Power, made that stomp extremely powerful!

"Beast!" Yang Junxiong’s eyes turned vicious. He stopped paying attention to the bamboo horse and focused entirely on dealing with the Mountain Cat.

The heart-protecting mirror on his chest was already showing some cracks. If he got distracted again, he might suffer severe injuries from the Mountain Cat.

"This..." Du Jiaojiao halted.

Though she was a woman, she had a chivalrous spirit and had known Zong Shichang since childhood, so she couldn’t ignore it when he was in danger.

But she hadn’t anticipated the situation would change so quickly.

Yang Junxiong’s bamboo horse War Soul failed to be effective!

The five nooses had bound the bamboo horse, significantly weakening the Evil Qi on the War Soul.

"War Soul, ignite!"

"Tread a thousand mountains!"

Seeing itself trapped, the phantom knight on the bamboo horse raised its spear high. The bamboo horse lifted its front hooves, then stomped down fiercely, creating a terrifying shockwave.

The War Soul and the bamboo horse simultaneously used their secret techniques, the wild and untamed knight attempting to break free from the chains.

"Snap!"

One of the Thunderbolt Chains really snapped!

"Let’s see how many you can break free from!"

Lightning flashed in Zhao Xing’s eyes as he raised his left hand.

Three more Thunderbolt Chains emerged!

Having absorbed so much Spiritual Beauty, including some Primordial Magic Spirits, the Thunderbolt Noose had reached the Eighth Transition!

"Zzzz!"

The three new Thunderbolt Chains swiftly locked onto the horse’s head, forcibly pulling down the bamboo horse that had raised its head.

Before the mid-tier secret technique, Treading a Thousand Mountains, could be fully executed, it was interrupted.

"Yin Wind! Rise!"

A gust of Yin Wind blew from the ground, straight toward the War Soul on the horse’s back.

Previously, due to the obstruction of Evil Qi, the Yin Wind found it hard to directly affect the War Soul’s body.

But now, suppressed by the Thunderbolt Noose and with the Evil Qi weakened, the Yin Wind could sneak in.

"Hoooo~"

Though it was just a breeze, the War Soul on the bamboo horse seemed as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over it.
