CHAPTER 1943: CHAPTER 1940: BLOODLINE LEGACY MARTIAL SOUL!

Lin Bai slashed down with his sword, and at the moment of striking Shi Jiamu’s body, she crumbled into small stones that fell to the ground.

Lin Bai stared in utter surprise at the scene before him.

In an instant, the scattered stones rolled back up, and ten meters away from Lin Bai, countless little stones gathered together to once again form a stone figure...

"What... is happening?"

Lin Bai looked on in shock at the scene unfolding before him.

Among the Tianjiao Alliance’s ranks, Shi Zhongxian watched this scene, a slight smile appearing on his face with a touch of pride.

Wu He said indifferently, "The bloodline legacy Martial Soul of the God Stone Domain Shi Family, known as the Stone God Martial Soul, the so-called Undying Martial Soul... it’s indeed formidable!"

"If it weren’t for this Martial Soul’s power, Shi Jiamu would have been heavily injured by Lin Bai’s sword just now, even if not killed, unable to escape suppression as in Zhexian City!"

"With such a powerful Martial Soul, the warriors of the Shi Family are practically invincible among their peers."

Shi Zhongxian chuckled softly without speaking. As he looked at the power of Shi Jiamu’s Martial Soul, a hint of pride and a smile appeared on his face.

The bloodline legacy Martial Soul, also known as a bloodline Martial Soul, is not bound by any rank but each one possesses extremely powerful special abilities and potential!

This Martial Soul is called a bloodline legacy Martial Soul because it does not awaken; rather, it is a Martial Soul that a warrior is born with from the moment of birth.

Moreover, it’s not just one person who can obtain such a Martial Soul. Like the bloodline legacy Martial Soul of the God Stone Domain Shi Family, basically all clan members of the Shi Family have this kind of Martial Soul!

Including Shi Zhongxian here, his Martial Soul is also the Shi Family’s bloodline legacy "Stone God Martial Soul".

For Lin Bai, this was the first time encountering a bloodline legacy Martial Soul.

The origin of the bloodline legacy Martial Soul is probably because an ancestor of this clan used a secret skill to integrate such a Martial Soul into the bloodline, allowing his descendants to awaken this Martial Soul at birth due to their bloodline.

And once a warrior possesses a bloodline legacy Martial Soul, they cannot awaken a Martial Soul a second time.

Since that family’s ancestor used a secret skill to integrate their own Martial Soul into the bloodline and pass it down, this kind of Martial Soul must possess formidable power that defies heaven.

Otherwise, if this family’s ancestor used a secret skill to integrate an inferior Martial Soul into the bloodline, causing future offspring to have such inferior Martial Souls, wouldn’t it push the family to the abyss of destruction?

Therefore, once a warrior possesses a bloodline legacy Martial Soul, their Martial Soul must be an existence that can shake the heavens and earth.

Just like the bloodline legacy Martial Soul of the God Stone Domain Shi Family, almost possessing undying power, so the ancestor of the Shi Family used a secret skill to integrate their own Martial Soul into the bloodline for generations to come.

"You cannot defeat me."

"Give up."

Shi Jiamu said coldly.

Lin Bai narrowed his eyes, tightly gripping the Demonic Sword, dashed forward in an instant, and thrust the sharp sword light into Shi Jiamu’s chest.

Crack, crack, crack—

A series of crisp sounds came.

Lin Bai was astonished to see that he had pierced through Shi Jiamu’s chest with his sword, yet her chest cracked open like stone, as if his sword was thrust into stone, without injuring Shi Jiamu at all!

Shi Jiamu’s face tensed, and powerful force directly shook Lin Bai’s sword edge from her body. The instant the sword edge left her body, her stone-like wound quickly healed, as if Lin Bai had never struck her!

"Is this the Demonic Martial Soul?" Lin Bai’s eyes narrowed, he muttered to himself.

In Lin Bai’s memory, only the Demonic Martial Soul had this kind of near-undying power. For instance, Lin Bai once encountered the "Essence of Fire" in the Shenwu Kingdom, a Martial Soul approaching the power of rebirth.

Now seeing a similar Martial Soul sparked Lin Bai’s particular interest.

Swiftly deploying his Sword Skill, Lin Bai struck Shi Jiamu’s body, pierced through her, severed her arm... but the outcome remained the same. Each time he struck her, her body crumbled like stone and then instantly recovered in just a breath!

"Hmph!" After Lin Bai made a few attempts, Shi Jiamu let out a cold huff, stepping forward, and struck Lin Bai’s chest with a fierce palm, sending him flying over a hundred meters, spitting blood.

Seeing this, Shi Zhongxian chuckled, "The outcome is clear."

Wu He also nodded slightly. After Shi Jiamu employed her Martial Soul, Lin Bai stood no chance against Shi Jiamu in the state of the Stone God Martial Soul.

"Will you not concede?"

Shi Jiamu roared angrily, stepped forward, and delivered another palm strike at Lin Bai.

At this moment, Lin Bai also turned with a sword strike aimed at Shi Jiamu.

With a bang.

The two clashed, sending Lin Bai flying several hundred meters with Shi Jiamu’s palm, while Shi Jiamu’s body was once again split by Lin Bai, turning into stone before instantly returning to its original state.

"You cannot damage me in the slightest!"

Shi Jiamu sneered coldly. After her body recovered once more, she charged at Lin Bai again, striking him on the back and making him cough blood, looking dispirited.

Rumble——

Lin Bai and Shi Jiamu exchanged hundreds of blows in mid-air, yet Lin Bai continued to be in a sorry state, while Shi Jiamu remained unscathed.

The Pale Old Strange Man, watching this, narrowed his eyes and said, "In terms of strength, Lin Bai far surpasses Shi Jiamu, but the God Stone Domain Shi Family’s near-undying Martial Soul is indeed extraordinary."

"Continuing to fight is nothing but a futile effort!"

"Once Shi Jiamu activated her Martial Soul, Lin Bai was already defeated."

The Pale Old Strange Man could see that Shi Jiamu held the upper hand thanks to her immensely powerful Martial Soul. Otherwise, in a direct fight without the Martial Soul, Shi Jiamu would likely have been defeated long ago.

After three or four hundred exchanges between Lin Bai and Shi Jiamu, Shi Jiamu was as intact as ever, while Lin Bai was already battered.

Bam!

Lin Bai flew across, landing over a hundred meters away, covered in blood.

Shi Jiamu, with a cold face, said, "Since you refuse to concede, then die! I gave you a chance to yield, but you didn’t cherish it, so don’t blame me for being ruthless."

Gathering her strength, Shi Jiamu’s form flashed like a gale, her palm aimed straight for Lin Bai’s head lying on the ground.

The Pale Old Strange Man witnessed this, his eyes widened sharply, realizing that Shi Jiamu intended to kill Lin Bai with this strike.

Just before the Pale Old Strange Man was about to have the Half-human Giant Beast intervene, as Shi Jiamu’s palm was coming down on Lin Bai’s head, Lin Bai abruptly raised a hand to catch Shi Jiamu’s jade-like palm!

Covered in blood, Lin Bai slowly lifted his gaze, his eyes blood-red, and his face filled with malice...
