Seeing that she had successfully used her support ability, Xu Nian and Ying Fan exchanged a glance. Their unique tacit understanding allowed them to summon their spiritual bodies at the same time.
Yingfan's is a huge lion, while Xu Nian's is a black and white red-crowned crane.
The red-crowned cranes flew to the lions and faced each other in pairs. Having met many times, they were already familiar with each other.
A flash of white light appeared, and the two people's spiritual power transformed into two flowing energies that merged.
Xu Nian and Ying Fan's hands were intertwined at some point, and they both watched the giant lion emerge from the white light.
At this moment, the lion was covered in blue and white stripes, and had a pair of pure white wings growing on its back.
Most importantly, it is so large that it can rival the Fish-Bird King.
It stands suspended in mid-air, proudly looking down upon all its enemies.
The fusion of their spiritual powers was being revealed to the public for the first time, and the resulting uproar was predictable.
It was at this moment that everyone understood why Yingfan insisted on keeping Xu Nian.
This was the first time they had ever seen such a unique combination of skills between husband and wife.
Why does the concept of spiritual fusion exist?
Xu Nian felt embarrassed and blushed whenever she thought about it.
Ying Fan, the instigator, squeezed Xu Nian's hand with a smile, which made her glare at him angrily, and he smiled even more brightly.
Looking down at him from the blue and white striped lion, the Fish-Bird King's gaze was filled with suspicion and uncertainty.
It could sense that this energy being was just as powerful as itself, giving it an urge to escape.
But it was born a king, and the dignity of a king would not allow it to run away.
"Hiss!" The Fish-Bird King let out a mournful cry and unleashed a mental attack on the massive lion.
"Roar!" The lion roared, and the same mental energy clashed with it.
The two spiritual energies collided, but instead of a violent impact, they canceled each other out like ice and snow melting away.
Upon seeing this, both Xu Nian and Ying Fan frowned deeply.
Although this was the first time they had used their combined spiritual power against an enemy, both of them had estimated that dealing with the Fish-Bird King should not be a problem.
However, he is now evenly matched with the Fish-Bird King. Could it be that this Fish-Bird King is an SSS-level creature?
Realizing the seriousness of the problem, their expressions turned serious.
Ten years ago, the Fish-Bird King was only SS-rank, yet it caused heavy losses to the border base.
What kind of destruction will this SSS-class Fish-Bird King cause to the border base when it goes berserk?
The two dared not think about it; the only thing they could do was fight.
Only by fighting with all our might can we hope to win.
Xu Nian knew that Ying Fan was the male lead, and she had an inexplicable confidence in him.
Seeing that the mental attack had no effect, Xu Nian and Ying Fan immediately controlled the mental lion to charge at the Fish-Bird King.
Since mental attacks are useless, the only effective and simplest option is hand-to-hand combat.
Seeing that Xu Nian and Ying Fan were fighting the Fish-Bird King so quickly, everyone immediately summoned their own spiritual entities and followed suit.
The battle against the Fish-Bird King is never a fight between one or two people, but a fight between a group of people.
They knew they couldn't directly confront the Fish-Bird King like Xu Nian and Ying Fan did.
So they each found a suitable position, formed a huge circle, and launched mental attacks on the Fish-Bird King from all angles.
Everyone shared the same idea: one ant can't kill an elephant, but many ants can devour it.
A colossal creature launched a fierce attack on it from the front, while countless ants tried to bite it from behind, leaving the Fish-Bird King extremely annoyed.
"Hiss!" The Fish-Bird King unleashed a massive mental attack, attempting to blast away everyone's mental bodies, but the enormous lion immediately roared back.
The moment the two spiritual powers canceled each other out, the enormous lion slammed its two front paws down on the Fish-Bird King's head.
While it was feeling dizzy and disoriented, the enormous lion opened its blood-red maw and bit off one of the fish-bird king's wings.
With a violent tearing motion from the enormous lion, the wing was ripped off.
"Pah!" The lion spat out the wing with blood, flesh, and bone in its mouth, then opened its mouth and bit the fish-bird king's other wing.
Seeing that its other wing was about to be destroyed, a fierce glint flashed in the Fish-Bird King's eyes, and it opened its huge fish mouth to bite at the lion's wing.
However, the welcoming fish bird king received a series of "slap slap slap" sounds!
The Fish-Bird King was stunned by the lion's wings.
No, its wings are different from its own. How can it hunt fish and birds besides flying?
Despite his incomprehension, seeing that a counterattack was futile, the Fish-Bird King stopped launching a mental attack and instead engaged the massive lion in hand-to-hand combat using its claws and body.
The two sides went back and forth, engaging in the most primitive form of combat.
Blood dripped continuously; it was the blood of the Fish-Bird King.
At this point, the Fish-Bird King only had one wing left, which was tattered and had all its feathers torn off. It was a miracle that it could still fly in mid-air and continue fighting.
One of its two claws was also torn off, and its beetle-like body was covered with large and small bloody pits from being bitten.
The appearance of the Fish-Bird King can only be described as utterly miserable.
The enormous lion was also covered in wounds. Because it was formed from spiritual energy, it did not bleed, but Xu Nian and Ying Fan, who were maintaining its form, both turned pale.
The two still stood proudly on the city wall, but the knuckles of their tightly clasped hands were turning white.
Anyone with eyes could see their condition, and worry began to rise in everyone's hearts.
"Strike while the iron is hot. The Fish-Bird King has been beaten half to death by Commander Ying and his men. So many of us will fight it to the death."
No one knows who shouted that, but the S-class ability users who had been finishing off the enemy suddenly swarmed towards the Fish-Bird King.
"Don't be impulsive, come back, you're no match for it." Ying Fan's words came too late.
The Fish-Bird King's eyes were blazing with murderous intent. It couldn't do anything to a winged lion, let alone deal with a group of shrimp soldiers and crab generals.
When an SSS-class fighter attacks an S-class fighter, it's a complete and utter crushing defeat. Even though the SSS-class fighter is severely injured, a weakened camel is still bigger than a horse. How could the S-class fighters possibly be a match for the Fish-Bird King?
A single encounter caused immense damage to the mental strength of many people.
At the same time, S-class ability users on the city wall fell down like dumplings being dropped into a pot.
After they fell, they were quickly taken off the city wall and treated by ability users below Rank B.
The one-sided battle made those still standing gasp in shock.
Only by facing the enemy in person can you know how powerful they are.
They then realized that the seemingly easy battle was just what they had imagined.
In fact, this fish-bird king is terrifyingly powerful.
Without comparison, there is no harm. Everyone finally realized just how powerful the Lion combination, which could only fight against the Fish-Bird King, really was!
Fearing that these people would continue to act recklessly and lose their lives, Ying Fan could only squeeze out a little mental energy to inform everyone: "This fish-bird king is SSS-level. Without my order, the rest of you should not make any rash moves."
