Skeleton Soldier Tussle (Part 2)
Transformer whipped its tail, triggering a formation that ushered gales of spiritual qi. Due to Divine Bull Skeleton Soldier’s height, it wobbled, giving Transformer a small interval to sneak in a chain that restrained the former’s wings.
“Let’s go for some fresh air! Woo!”
Transformer sprouted its wings again and took flight, hauling Divine Bull Skeleton Soldier along.
“Put me down!”
Divine Bull Skeleton Soldier tried to grab Transformer. Alas, it could only reach the chain. Seeing it try to break the chain, Xiaoshuai responded, “Relax. I heard you. I’m letting go right now.”
From over a hundred metres from the floor, Xiaoshuai let go of Divine Bull Skeleton Soldier. Even though Divine Bull Skeleton Soldier flapped its wings like its life depended on it, flight was impossible without the formation Mu Yu cast.
Boom!
Divine Bull Skeleton Soldier’s robust design saved it from falling apart, but the ground wasn’t so lucky. Giving Divine Bull Skeleton Soldier no time to shake off the dizzy spell, Xiaoshuai took out a big hammer with Heavy Formation cast on.
“Let me smack you awake, stupid bull!”
Divine Bull Skeleton Soldier extended two hands from its back to push itself away from the hammer coming down as a hard as a lightning bolt. Unfortunately, the shockwave from the impact still blew Divine Bull Skeleton Soldier into the boundary wall, bouncing it off.
“You’re pretty agile, stupid bull,” praised Xiaoshuai, commanding Transformer to flip and land lightly.
“I told you I have good judgement!” exclaimed He Liankong, thoroughly impressed with the new, technical and creative approach over their old brute-strength strategy.
“It’s still going. Divine Bull Skeleton Soldier is capable of more than that,” retorted Gui Yuzi.
“You trying to jinx us into losing, Gui Yuzi?”
“I was just kindly reminding all of you to not underestimate your foe,” claimed Gui Yuzi, hiding his desire to see Transformer suffer defeat to obtain He Liankong’s soul item for his own ends.
“Xiaoshuai, don’t use Heavy Formation again; it taxes too much spiritual energy,” warned Mu Yu.
“Okay, okay,” Xiaoshuai replied.
Divine Bull Skeleton Soldier shot a tail through the ground and dug its way up where Transformer was, wreathing around the latter’s leg and tripping it. Next, Divine Bull Skeleton used Transformer as a mace on the end of a chain, smashing it from side to side on the ground.
“Damn bull sneak attacked me!” raged Xiaoshuai, while Mu Yu was straining himself to maintain Shadow Puppet Formation to protect the skeleton.
With no means of pulling its legs out, Xiaoshuai separated the bones making up Transformer’s legs and then reattached them with a formation. “You think that’s enough to take me down?”
Divine Bull Skeleton Soldier closed in and uncorked a punch, rocking Transformer hard enough to slightly disrupt Mu Yu’s foundations.
“Damn, he’s using spiritual energy! We can’t trade when he uses soul energy because we don’t have any, Xiaoshuai! Man, I should’ve let the soul soldiers join us. The island’s restrictions have crippled Wood Spirit’s ability to counter soul energy!”
“Oh, crap, we don’t have any countermeasures! Whoa!”
Xiaoshuai slipped the next punch uncoiled.
Suddenly, He Liankong’s spiritual item discharged soul energy, quickly merging with Mu Yu’s formations. The soul energy was purer than Third Heaven Palace’s. To put it into perspective, it felt more natural rather than artificially created.
“Holy, I can use my formations to control this incredible soul energy. Xiaoshuai!”
“Way ahead of you. Hahaha, stupid bull, try my Xiaoshuai Divine Wind Kick!”
Transformer, using a formation, zipped in as if it was weightless. Its right leg connected with Divine Bull Skeleton Soldier’s chest. Right after, Transformer sprouted thorns from its feet to hook into the chest bones of Divine Bull Skeleton Soldier.
“Lightning Swift Snakes!”
Mu Yu cast the formation onto Transformer’s right leg and gave the leg a shot of soul energy. The blue lightning snake started its mayhem inside Divine Bull Skeleton Soldier, zapping the fiends. Xiaoshuai capitalised on the momentum, locking onto the weak joints of Divine Bull Skeleton Soldier and ripped!
Rumble! Bone after bone crumbled until Divine Bull Skeleton Soldier resembled rubble.
