Chapter 302: Liu Erlong's Crisis
"Hehe! A very beautiful woman, but unfortunately, her strength is too overwhelming, she poses a threat to us. Otherwise, keeping her as a pet wouldn't be a bad idea, but now we can only crush her with ruthless hands!"
After surrounding Liu Erlong, a fallen soul master holding a large curved blade couldn't help but speak with a tone of regret as he sized her up.
"Stop wasting time, not everyone is a weakling who melts at the sight of a woman."
"This woman's strength is too great. None of us are a match for her individually. If we don't take care of her now, we might be the ones dying the next time we encounter her!"
In response to the words of the curved-blade fallen soul master, a bald soul master holding a wolf tooth club snorted coldly.
"Enough! Enough! Let's go together, take care of her first!"
On the side, a short soul master with rat-like eyes, whose martial soul was the earth mole, impatiently spoke after his martial soul was activated.
"Good! Let's do it together!"
With those words, the fallen soul masters reached a consensus, and in unison, a dozen of them instantly charged toward Liu Erlong with a loud battle cry.
"To kill me, it's not that simple!!"
Despite facing a siege of more than a dozen Soul Emperors and Soul Saints, Liu Erlong did not give up resisting. With a furious roar, she activated her martial soul.
Suddenly, a massive Fire Dragon martial soul appeared behind Liu Erlong. After roaring to the sky, it quickly entered her body.
With the activation of her martial soul, Liu Erlong's body instantly began to transform into a dragon. Her hair turned crimson, and her eyes became golden vertical pupils.
Her entire body quickly grew a layer of crimson dragon scales, and her body became taller and more muscular, with her hands turning into dragon claws.
At the same time, seven dim soul rings, yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, black, and black, rose from beneath Liu Erlong's feet and surrounded her.
"Roar!!!"
Upon entering the martial soul possession state, Liu Erlong let out a dragon's roar, then instantly stirred her soul power. Using the Fire Dragon martial soul's innate ability, she transformed her soul power into flames and unleashed it in an explosive burst.
In an instant, it felt as if an explosion had occurred, and a sea of crimson flames erupted from Liu Erlong's body, sweeping towards the dozen fallen soul masters charging toward her.
"Not good!"
Seeing the sudden wave of crimson flames, the fallen soul masters charging toward Liu Erlong were startled. They quickly raised their hands to shield their heads to avoid the flames damaging their eyes and other vulnerable areas.
At this moment.
Liu Erlong squinted her golden vertical pupils, instantly locking onto the earth mole soul master, the most vulnerable among them. She stomped on the ground and burst forward, her claws attacking the earth mole soul master.
Since the fallen soul masters had all been engulfed by the sudden burst of flames, they momentarily lost their vision.
Caught off guard by Liu Erlong's sudden assault, the earth mole soul master didn't react in time and was immediately struck by Liu Erlong's claw on the head.
The brutal power and soul power, infused with fiery flames, exploded as the earth mole soul master was hit with such force that his seven orifices began to bleed. He was sent flying into a wall, then fell to the ground, lifeless, no longer moving.
"Rat!!"
Seeing that the earth mole soul master had been instantly killed, the remaining fallen soul masters were immediately shocked.
"Damn it! Let's all go together and make this damned woman pay!"
Coming to their senses and realizing that the earth mole soul master had been killed with one claw, the remaining fallen soul masters were filled with rage and immediately charged toward Liu Erlong.
After this lesson, the remaining fallen soul masters became much more cautious.
Although Liu Erlong was formidable, facing the combined attacks of more than a dozen Soul Emperors and Soul Saints, she still couldn't handle it alone. She could only continue to dodge while still sustaining injuries.
This was even with her dragon scales from the martial soul possession blocking a lot of the attacks. Otherwise, Liu Erlong might not have lasted much longer and could have been gravely injured or even killed.
Could it be that Liu Erlong is going to die here today?
Facing the combined assault of the dozen Soul Emperors and Soul Saints, Liu Erlong continued to evade while occasionally counterattacking, feeling an overwhelming sense of sadness.
Although before coming to the Slaughter City to meet Yu Xiaogang, Liu Erlong had already prepared herself for the possibility of dying, at the time, as long as she could see Xiaogang, she felt it would be worth it, no matter what happened.
But now, with death drawing near, her mind began to replay the events of her life.
From her childhood, relying on her mother after the death of her father, struggling to survive, to her mother's death, leaving home to venture out, meeting Flanders and Yu Xiaogang, and starting to explore the world of soul masters.
During her journey through the soul master world, they encountered many enemies, but with their Trinity Fusion skill—Golden Saint Dragon—they overcame every adversity.
The reason she fell for Yu Xiaogang was partly because of how confident and handsome he looked controlling the Golden Saint Dragon during the Trinity Fusion state.
On the other hand, Yu Xiaogang's usual melancholic demeanor and his daily obsession with researching martial soul theory, though she didn't fully understand it, gave her the impression of being highly capable.
It was the contrast between Yu Xiaogang's two different personalities—one bold and confident, the other introspective—that intrigued Liu Erlong and made her fall for him.
But now, when she met Yu Xiaogang again, Liu Erlong found that the excitement she once felt was gone.
Reflecting on why she liked Yu Xiaogang in the first place, she began to wonder if it was because his martial soul had that Golden Saint Dragon origin that she had been attracted to him.
And because of that, she no longer felt the same for Yu Xiaogang, as during the livestream, Yu Xiaogang had already lost the Golden Saint Dragon martial soul origin.
It turned out that she hadn't truly liked Yu Xiaogang for who he was?
In her heart, Liu Erlong seemed to suddenly understand.
And as she faced the final moments of her life, she suddenly thought of Lin Yu.
Compared to Xiaogang, whether in terms of strength, looks, or personality, Aotian, the younger brother, was clearly more outstanding. Perhaps, it was him whom she truly liked.
Though she hated to admit it, it seemed that she was a rather shallow woman after all!
Liu Erlong couldn't help but feel a bit self-deprecating.
In the final moments of her life, she realized that the person she most wanted to see was not Yu Xiaogang, but Aotian, whom she had met not long ago.
At that moment, Liu Erlong realized who she truly loved!
If she had the chance again, she would not resist the impulse in her heart.
