Chapter 349: Mutual Destruction
As King of Warhorses looked at the silent mental lake in front of him, he realized that there was something more complex hidden inside. He carefully observed the changes within.
The flame of the soul, suppressed by its immense mental power, turned into a small flame, with the transformation of the phoenix compressed into it.
The interior of the lake transformed into chains, initially, the small flame couldn’t even break free from the first mental chain, just constantly colliding and rubbing against it.
Despite King of Warhorses’ oppression, he couldn’t completely extinguish this small flame.
It thought it was just a matter of time, but just a second ago, the fire started to fight back with force, and the King of Warhorses realized something was wrong. It never expected that the fire was secretly draining its mental strength.
The little girl’s mental attack was draining her own mental strength to resist the pressure released by the King of Warhorses!
No wonder the fire hasn’t been extinguished yet. But when the King of Warhorses finally realized what was happening, it was already too late.
The flames were breaking through its defense unexpectedly. It turned out that the weak-looking chains it set up were just a trick. Now, no matter how much mental strength King of Warhorses added, it couldn’t stop the flames from charging in.
Every time it tried to bind the flames with chains, they were shattered, and the flames absorbed the scattered mental energy to strengthen themselves.
The King of Warhorses stared at the spiritual lake in front of it, looking very serious. It found that ordinary mental chains were no longer enough to control the growing flames. So, it condensed all the remaining mental chains into a giant chain that was ten times thicker than before, forcibly restraining the giant flames.
But the King of Warhorses realized that this was only a temporary solution. It was horrified to see that the flames were no longer concealing themselves, acting like a fully grown monster openly devouring its power.
Fortunately, the final defense it set up was strong enough to prevent the fire from breaking free all at once.
What kind of fire was this, what kind of mental attack was this? Being away from its owner for so long, it was now leeching off energy on its own, which was truly terrifying.
The King of Warhorses also realized how serious the situation was. The fire now had the beginnings of the fiery phoenix from earlier and it seemed like it would transform again, becoming even more powerful. It was like a rebirth, with the phoenix’s power becoming stronger.
Watching the King of Warhorses still holding back both his own spiritual lake and Yuan Rui’s soul flame, the Obsidian Beetle struggled to maintain a huge wind blade that had formed behind it.
It did not let the wind blade grow any further, as it knew it wouldn’t be able to control it if it continued.
The Obsidian Beetle was waiting for an opportunity, waiting for a chance to find a weakness in the King of Warhorses. It felt like that chance was coming soon.
The King of Warhorses hesitated too. It only had one option left now, even though it would come at a great cost.
But then, a loud phoenix cry echoed through the weakened defenses of the spiritual lake. The giant shackles placed by the King of Warhorses had started to crack.
It was this phoenix cry that made the King of Warhorses make a final decision. With a lift of its head and a resolute neigh, it showed its determination.
It couldn’t wait for the fire phoenix to grow strong enough to break free from its spiritual lake. It knew it would suffer even greater damage then.
The King of Warhorses felt a bit regretful. It had only wanted to stretch its legs and play with Zhang Mu’s friends, but it had not expected to find such a terrifying power hidden within the seemingly weak body of this little girl. Now, it had no choice but to take that step.
Can’t delay anymore!
With a neigh, the entire spirit lake in front of the King of Warhorses shattered under its deliberate control.
It was a type of shattering that couldn’t be taken back, because only in this way could the source of power of the soul flames be completely severed, which was its own spiritual power.
Indeed, the spiritual lake abandoned by the King of Warhorses cracked, and the voice of the forming fire phoenix inside started to become urgent, trying to break free from the constraints of the giant chains.
But how could the King of Warhorses let it succeed after paying such a high price? Before the fire phoenix could fully form, it completely cut off its sustenance.
The fire phoenix let out a mournful cry and, together with the King of Warhorses’ spiritual lake, shattered into countless roaming spiritual forces, falling into the air and slowly dispersing.
Zhang Mu could clearly see the once pure white wings of the King of Warhorses dimming in an instant, its expression a bit disheartened, looking like it had been severely injured.
Because the King of Warhorses’ spiritual lake and Yuan Rui’s soul flames were different, its ability was connected to its own domain. Without control, releasing all of its spiritual power and shattering them with its own hands resulted in a backlash, severely harming its domain.
After Yuan Rui released her soul flames, there was no longer any connection with her, so besides initial weakness after release, even if the flames were shattered, there would be no further harm to her.
In this mental battle, although both sides seemed injured, surprisingly Yuan Rui came out on top!
“You caused trouble by playing around.”
Zhang Mu had just regained the use of his facial features and couldn’t believe that even the arrogant King of Warhorses would be in such a humiliating situation, so he laughed at him out loud.
Unsteadily, the King of Warhorses replied, “I have met humans stronger than you, much more powerful.”
The backlash of mental power was still ongoing. The King of Warhorses suddenly couldn’t support his own weight, and with a loud bang, knelt down on the ground.
Waiting for this opportunity for a long time, the Obsidian Beetle seized the moment when the King of Warhorses showed a vulnerability. It gathered all its remaining strength and threw out a blast of energy that covered the entire area, finally feeling relieved.
Zhang Mu only noticed this energy blast now, as he had been focused on the mental showdown in the lake. He didn’t expect the Obsidian Beetle to have transformed the similar-sized energy blade into this appearance.
Looking at the weakened King of Warhorses, Zhang Mu anxiously shouted through their soul connection, “Don’t come this way, it won’t actually hurt you.”
Due to the complete dispersal of the King of Warhorses’ mental lake, this time Zhang Mu’s message finally reached the Obsidian Beetle.
“Are you okay?”
“I’m okay, quickly pull back, my body can’t move now, you might hurt someone.”
The voice of Obsidian Beetle hesitated in Zhang Mu’s heart, but the reply he received made him even more desperate.
“This air blade is too big, I feel like I can’t control it…”
