The changes in the Yuan Liu soul ring undoubtedly confirmed Chen Ming's guess.
The ordinary weapon, the long sword in his hand, now turned into something similar to his martial spirit.
At this moment, Chen Ming understood the extraordinary qualities of Yuan Liu's "flow" martial spirit.
Chen Ming didn't know whether Yuan Liu's flow could transform all weapons, or only a specific weapon, or just a category. He didn't think deeply about it because Yuan Liu had already swung his sword at him.
The long sword in Yuan Liu's hand emitted a light blue light, and the first yellow line on the blade flashed. The surrounding heaven and earth energy gathered madly, condensing into a highly condensed energy ball outside the blade.
He swung his sword horizontally, and suddenly a blade of sword energy emerged, and the highly condensed energy ball was consumed visibly.
Afterwards, Yuan Liu slashed again and again, releasing six sword auras on the spot.
Six sword energies drew arcs and slashed towards Chen Ming from different directions.
Chen Ming did not dodge or evade, and a purple light shone from his body.
"First Soul Skill, Fire Lotus Tyrant Body!"
Outside Chen Ming's body, flames burst out and rose up, forming a fire lotus that completely enveloped him.
The sword energy hit the fire lotus, and was quickly melted by the high temperature of the fire lotus, and even failed to hit Chen Ming's body. He took a step forward with his right foot, and stomped hard, and Chen Ming rushed out quickly, like a fire lotus-shaped cannonball.
What can be seen is that where Chen Ming's right foot had stepped before, there was a hole blown out by the flames.
Seeing Chen Ming approaching, Yuan Liu was not panicked at all. This time, his second soul ring also flickered. The first and second soul rings flickered at the same time, and he once again drew the essence of heaven and earth from the surroundings, condensing a ball of concentrated energy on the blade.
Afterwards, these energies condensed into two imprint-like abilities, which were integrated into the patterns of his third and fourth soul rings respectively.
Then, Chen Ming noticed that Yuan Liu used his third soul skill.
Yuan Liu's third soul skill was extremely powerful. It was not known whether it was soul power or his martial soul flow that penetrated through the long sword and actually formed a materialized ten-meter-long energy sword.
Before Chen Ming reached Yuan Liu, he was hit head-on by the ten-meter-long sword.
A crack appeared on the Red Lotus Blessing at this moment, revealing Chen Ming's true form.
That was the extent of the impact of this strike. Even though it almost broke the defense of the Red Lotus Blessing, it ultimately did not cause any damage to Chen Ming's body.
However, as the knife fell, another phantom condensed on the ten-meter-long knife.
The mark that was previously integrated into the third soul ring emerged and suddenly shattered. Then the illusory sword shadow instantly solidified and chopped down again along with the sword.
After two consecutive words, Chen Ming's face changed slightly.
The defense of Red Lotus Blessing had no time to recover, and the second knife chopped down directly.
The knife landed directly on Chen Ming's right shoulder, leaving a deep cut on his shoulder.
With the martial spirit possessing his body, Chen Ming's defense was enhanced. Although he was seriously injured by the knife, Chen Ming was not afraid at all.
He just took a step away, and then continued to stride towards Yuan Liu like an enraged tiger.
Every step was accompanied by terrifying power.
Chen Ming's breath became more and more oppressive, and Yuan Liu felt suffocated.
The ten thousand year soul ring was also absorbing the surrounding light, becoming deeper and deeper.
"Second soul skill, the power of living beings!"
The visible wound stopped bleeding in the blink of an eye and even showed signs of healing.
Vitality surged out, covering the entire wound with a ball of emerald green light.
Chen Ming swung his fist, and the fire element began to condense.
Yuan Liu was shocked, and he urged his soul power to cover the surface of the long sword, holding the sword to block. The flames on Chen Ming's body began to gather, gathered on his right arm, and then began to rotate along his entire right arm, forming a forward-rushing vortex of flames, which suddenly erupted.
Boom! As if the flames were going to burn everything, Yuan Liu only felt a burning heat, as if he was wrapped in boundless flames. Then the flames everywhere were exploding, and they were all madly drilling into his body, like vicious fire snakes, drilling into his body and madly destroying the flesh and blood tissue in his body.
The two sides separated as soon as they collided, and Chen Ming retreated five steps before he could steady himself.
On the opposite side, Yuan Liu took six steps back and also looked at Chen Ming with a heavy expression.
So scary.
Is this the first ring's thousand-year soul skill and the second ring's ten-thousand-year soul skill?
Only at this point did he have time to shock Chen Ming's defense of the Red Lotus Blessing, which directly ignored the third soul skill of a dignified soul master.
If it weren't for the Yuan Liu Mark of the second soul skill that reorganized the third soul skill and instantly added the second blow, even he wouldn't have been able to break through the defense!
Yuan Liu noticed that at this moment the red lotus outside Chen Ming's body was restored with the replenishment of fire elements.
This means that if he had not used his third soul skill twice in a row to completely pour damage on the layer of red lotus protection, he would not have been able to attack Chen Ming's body at all!
After all, although his fourth soul skill has a higher age limit, it is a control soul skill rather than a single-target attack soul skill.
Not only does the red lotus have incredible defense, and it can also repair itself as the fire element is replenished, it also has that crucial self-healing ability.
Is this the ten thousand year soul skill?
Yuan Liu sighed in his heart while running the flow in his body, quickly absorbing the external world's vitality, and then turned it into flow, and then flowed through the meridians of the whole body. The burning sensation on his body was quickly soothed, and the burned panel was also quickly refreshed.
Chen Ming's pupils shrank when he saw this.
He met a colleague!
Then he became excited.
Both of his fists were gathering the power of the fire element, and the two fists interacted and punched out. Each punch was a vortex of fire, and the vortex erupted, enveloping the Yuan Liu.
After five rounds of fighting, Yuan Liu felt very depressed.
It's such a disadvantage. I'm the only one getting hurt.
He roared, and his fourth soul ring began to flicker.
The long sword in his hand suddenly emitted a strong flow.
This stream erupted instantly, directly filling the entire venue and bouncing Chen Ming away.
yes, bounce.
It was as if the area covered by the flow had turned into an inaccessible place, directly bouncing Chen Ming out.
Yuan Liu seized the opportunity and released his second soul skill again, and at the same time, he released his third soul skill again.
He slashed out twice in an instant, breaking Chen Ming's red lotus protection, and then spread the flow around, instantly pulling Chen Ming over.
This time Chen Ming saw it clearly. This was the effect of Yuan Liu's fourth soul skill. The moment he was pulled over, Chen Ming saw that the mark of the fourth soul skill provided by the second soul skill was broken.
A set of completely coherent moves left Chen Ming with no time to resist.
He was still punching when he was suddenly bounced back, then hit by two ten-meter-long swords. He was approached and quickly pulled in front of Yuan Liu without any warning.
Yuan Liu raised his long sword and chopped it down fiercely.
His sword was filled with the sword energy condensed by his first soul skill, and the place where he chopped was also the gap caused by the two previous attacks of his third soul skill.
Chen Ming adjusted his posture and put his hands together. The remaining flames on his arms gathered together. Then he connected the four fingers of his hands, with his palms at an angle and his two thumbs also connected together, forming a triangular gap.
The fire elements gathered together and instantly formed a pillar of fire, which sprayed towards the Yuan Liu.
Yuan Liu's pupils contracted and he immediately gave up the attack. The second mark of the fourth soul skill was broken, and Chen Ming was pushed away again without any warning.
Naturally, Chen Ming's attack missed.
