Chapter 70: Chapter 70: Martial Soul Fusion, Fallen Angel!_1
Moreover, it didn't seem that abhorrent to make contact with this man...
On the other side, Xu Sheng and Qian Renxue felt almost the same. At this moment, they only felt that the emotions influenced by the Nine-Hearted Begonia were temporarily soothed.
The nine-Hearted Begonia and the Seraph behind Qian Renxue and Xu Sheng, which had been still, began to merge again, and their auras leaked out once more...
During the subsequent fusion process, the auras of the two Martial Souls gradually homogenized, no longer distinguishable as unique to each Martial Soul.
Just as Qian Renxue and Xu Sheng awaited the Martial Soul Fusion with some expectation, the completely homogenized auras of the Seraph and Nine-Hearted Begonia stopped merging again...
The two had already reached a semi-fused state, but the final step just could not be taken.
The warmth that Xu Sheng and Qian Renxue had felt was disappearing, and with their eyes tightly closed, they also knew there had been a problem.
Qian Renxue opened her dimmed golden brown Beautiful Eyes, looking towards the obscured, dark Seraph wrapped by the Nine-Hearted Begonia...
Her complexion turned uglier as she murmured to herself, "Huh? What's going on? Can't we fully merge like this?"
The basic steps of the Soul Fusion Skill had been done by her and Xu Sheng, yet they had still not succeeded!
Could it be that their Martial Souls were not compatible after all and that it was a misjudgment brought about by extremes of evil and good?
At this moment, Qian Renxue smiled bitterly, her eyes beginning to lose hope...
Perhaps she and Xu Sheng had been wrong from the start!
How could Martial Souls of good and evil, with almost ultimate contradictions, ever use a Soul Fusion Skill!
Thinking of this, they had been too naive!
...
When Xu Sheng opened his eyes afterward, his expression hadn't changed much.
He had already mostly guessed the reason for the failure, and he could be sure that they indeed could use the Soul Fusion Skill!
Otherwise, the Martial Soul Fusion would have failed from the start, rather than being in this semi-fused state.
Xu Sheng said indifferently to Qian Renxue beside him, "Why are you so disappointed? I'm certain that we can use the Soul Fusion Skill!"
Qian Renxue, whose eyes had dimmed, regained the previous light upon hearing Xu Sheng's words!
"Are you serious? But..." She glanced at their Souls whose fusion had been interrupted behind them.
She wanted to believe Xu Sheng's words, but the situation with the Martial Soul made her regain her clarity...
Xu Sheng raised an eyebrow and said coldly, "It depends on whether you want them to fuse or not, which might cost you a little price."
Qian Renxue's Beautiful Eyes sharpened as she rapidly considered in her mind...
If their Martial Soul Fusion Skill required a price to succeed, then Xu Sheng, as another part of the fusion, should also pay the same price.
She decisively asked Xu Sheng, "A price? As another part of the Martial Soul Fusion, won't you face the same situation?"
Xu Sheng, somewhat taken aback, pointed at himself, not sure what to say...
This price could be considered both a cost and a benefit for Xu Sheng, so he didn't mind it too much...
Xu Sheng pursed his lips, patiently explaining, "Me? This price doesn't matter much to me, but it's different for you; the decision is yours to make."
Qian Renxue's Beautiful Eyes intensified...
What exactly could this price be?
Life-span?
Or perhaps it concerned her spiritual power and Martial Soul?
She couldn't learn any of this from Xu Sheng's mouth…
...
Qian Renxue nodded in agreement with Xu Sheng's suggestion, her eyes revealing utter seriousness, "Fine! As long as I can perform Martial Soul Fusion, I'm willing to pay the price!"
The most severe price for a Soul Fusion Skill recorded in the history of the Continent was just a bit of lifespan; losing a little herself was no big deal!
Xu Sheng shifted a few steps to the side and indifferently said, "Since you're willing, then come to the position closest to me..."
Caution flashed through Qian Renxue's mind as if warning her of deception!
Yet, for some reason, a sense of familiarity surged in her heart...
"Why does this sentence sound so familiar?"
She regarded Xu Sheng with a mixture of belief and skepticism, suspecting that he had already grasped everything but was step by step setting a trap for her...
And she had no means of resistance, only able to act according to his wishes...
Seeing Qian Renxue deep in thought, Xu Sheng didn't rush her, slowly asking, "Well, have you thought it through?"
Qian Renxue bit her thin lips, didn't answer Xu Sheng, but moved to the position nearest to him, their bodies almost touching...
She found her current movements somewhat shameful, and a few shades of red blossomed on her face...
Seeing her approach, Xu Sheng once again reminded her earnestly, "You'd better be mentally prepared, once we start there will be no chance for regrets."
He certainly did not want to be subjected to Qian Renxue's abuse after completing the Martial Soul Fusion.
Her steadfast words responded to him, "No need for further words, I have made up my mind!"
The next moment, Xu Sheng wrapped his arms around Qian Renxue's delicate body and held her tightly in his embrace, then bent his head and kissed her under her bewildered state...
When Qian Renxue came to her senses, she widened her beautiful eyes, intending to voice her objection to Xu Sheng's action, but tragically found her thin lips already sealed by his...
"Mmm... mmph..."
Unable to break free, Qian Renxue was forced to kiss Xu Sheng...
While kissing, Xu Sheng looked closely at the enviable cheeks before him and thought to himself, "This time I've really gone too far!"
But unexpectedly, Qian Renxue, who had been passive all along, started to take the initiative...
Now it was his turn to be completely dumbfounded...
Moreover, he saw a hint of vengeful color in the depths of Qian Renxue's eyes...
...
As they kissed, the Nine-Hearted Begonia behind them had already started to merge entirely into the Seraph, whose hand holding the Angel's Sword gradually turned a blood-red color, as an intimidating aura of slaughter emerged...
Not only that, but the six wings of the Seraph also began to transform into a deep black color, and the holy light that the statue had been emitting was now painted with a blood-red hue that sent a chill to the heart, with the terrifying intent to kill spreading out...
Suddenly, the Seraph statue, with eyes emitting a red light, moved; it raised the Angel's Sword, now enveloped in an endless crimson aura, in an instant...
The sharp blade easily pierced through the room's ceiling!
The Angel's Sword remained raised in the air by the Seraph, steadily accumulating strands of crimson particles, and within mere seconds, a horrifying sword qi enveloped the blade, concentrating into a size three times larger than the Seraph itself!
Beneath this sword imbued with the aura of destruction, it seemed as if it could tear through all creation!
It was their true Soul Fusion Skill! The Fallen Angel!
