Chapter 276: Reinforcements from the Martial Soul
"Senior Guang Ling, your attack is over. Now it's my turn!"
Xiao Yu shouted loudly. His right arm suddenly swelled as if it were about to explode, and a terrifying, overwhelming aura erupted, pressing down fiercely on Guang Ling Douluo below.
"Thud! Thud! Thud!"
Guang Ling Douluo, who had just unleashed his eighth soul skill, staggered and took several steps back. He looked up at Xiao Yu in the sky with a face full of shock and disbelief.
That terrifying pressure made Guang Ling Douluo certain that Xiao Yu's right arm also contained a 100,000-year soul bone.
A 100,000-year torso soul bone, a 100,000-year right arm soul bone, and a 100,000-year right leg soul bone—Guang Ling Douluo hadn't forgotten that the kick Xiao Yu used to shatter his martial soul and send him crashing to the ground had such terrifying power purely from the amplification of the soul bone. Guang Ling Douluo was sure that the right foot also contained a 100,000-year soul bone.
Three 100,000-year soul bones in total!
At over ninety years old, Guang Ling Douluo understood for the first time why lemons were so sour. No wonder this kid had broken through to the Titled Douluo level in his twenties. Not only was his talent extraordinary, but his opportunities were enough to make anyone green with envy.
Roar!
At that moment, a dragon's roar pierced the heavens. The space seemed to tear apart as a pitch-black dragon over a hundred meters long emerged from the rift, charging straight toward Guang Ling Douluo.
100,000-Year Right Arm Soul Bone Skill, Nether Emperor's Heaven-Shaking Wrath, activated.
With Xiao Yu's breakthrough to the Titled Douluo level, the power of this attack had become even more terrifying. Wherever the dragon's phantom passed, the space was directly scarred, revealing black voids.
"Ninth Soul Skill, Ultimate Feather Light!"
Facing Xiao Yu's astonishing attack, Guang Ling Douluo didn't hesitate. His ninth soul ring instantly radiated with dazzling light.
Guang Ling Douluo drew his divine bow, with divine light shimmering behind him. Borrowing the power of the void, he released the Ultimate Feather Light Arrow.
The Ultimate Feather Light Arrow shot forward continuously, its ice elemental energy infinitely close to the ultimate ice. The arrow pierced through time and space, capable of freezing all things, and collided head-on with the phantom of the Nether Dragon formed by soul power.
Boom!
The moment the two collided, a surge of immense soul power erupted. The formidable force rapidly spread, and the surrounding space began to distort under the impact.
The Ultimate Feather Light Arrow and the phantom of the Nether Dragon transformed into a massive energy beam over a foot wide upon collision. A black and a blue light wave clashed directly in the sky.
Bang! Bang! Bang!!!
As the conflict intensified, the dazzling energy exploded like fireworks, and terrifying explosions reverberated through the air.
"Argh!"
Guang Ling Douluo's arms tensed, his teeth clenched as he continuously poured soul power into maintaining his ninth soul skill. However, he couldn't change the fact that his ninth soul skill was being gradually pushed back by his opponent.
"It's over, Guang Ling Douluo!"
Xiao Yu shouted, his eyes blazing with light. His entire aura suddenly changed as his right arm exerted force, releasing even more immense energy. The black beam instantly intensified its assault, and the blue ice beam began to crack and shatter under the overwhelming attack.
But the Nether Emperor's Heaven-Shaking Wrath wasn't finished. The massive black beam continued its trajectory, cutting through the sky and striking Guang Ling Douluo with devastating force.
"Ah!"
With a scream, Guang Ling Douluo was sent flying like a cannonball. His Martial Soul True Body state could no longer be maintained and dissipated the moment he was sent flying.
"Goodbye, Guang Ling Douluo. When you get down there, remember to say hello to Blue Luan Douluo for me!"
Xiao Yu's six wings flapped as his figure shot forward, aiming straight for Guang Ling Douluo, ready to claim another head from the Elder Hall's ranks.
"Twofold Stillness Domain!"
At the critical moment, two voices rang out in unison from the sky. A massive domain space descended, instantly enveloping Xiao Yu. Everything around him, including himself, fell into a state of complete stillness.
The Spirit Hall's elders, Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo, both 95th-rank Titled Douluos, had arrived.
At the same time, Snake Spear Douluo and Thorny Porcupine Douluo also appeared on the battlefield. The two quickly rushed to where Guang Ling Douluo had landed. Although they had some psychological preparation, they couldn't help but gasp when they saw Guang Ling Douluo's miserable state.
Guang Ling Douluo's aura had become extremely weak. His arms hung limply, and blood continuously seeped from his mouth and nose. His chest was slightly caved in, with signs of broken ribs and sternum. The grayish-blue robe he wore was completely stained with blood.
Without hesitation, Snake Spear and Thorny Porcupine quickly carried Guang Ling Douluo away.
The Spirit Hall had mobilized such a large-scale force, and naturally, they had also assigned a dedicated team of healing soul masters. Although these healing-type soul masters couldn't perform the miraculous feats of the Nine-Hearted Begonia, in this situation, being able to keep Guang Ling Douluo alive was already a stroke of luck.
Boom!
The moment Snake Spear and Thorny Porcupine carried Guang Ling away, the Twofold Stillness Domain, the martial soul fusion skill unleashed by Chrysanthemum and Ghost Douluo, shattered with a loud crash. A surge of overwhelming soul power erupted from within, rushing toward Chrysanthemum and Ghost Douluo.
Caught off guard, Chrysanthemum and Ghost Douluo were both forced to retreat repeatedly by this surge of soul power.
"How is this possible?"
Chrysanthemum and Ghost Douluo's faces were filled with shock. From the moment they unleashed the Twofold Stillness Domain to Xiao Yu breaking free, only a few seconds had passed.
Chrysanthemum and Ghost Douluo were both 95th-rank Titled Douluos. Their martial soul fusion skill was powerful enough to restrain any opponent below the 97th rank. Even a 98th-rank super expert, if caught off guard, would need considerable effort to break free.
Chrysanthemum and Ghost Douluo were certain that before they made their move, Xiao Yu's attention had been entirely focused on Guang Ling Douluo. In other words, he had been caught off guard, yet he had broken free in just a few seconds.
Just how strong was he? Had he already reached the level of Qian Daoliu?
After breaking free from the Twofold Stillness Domain, Xiao Yu did not attack Chrysanthemum and Ghost Douluo, nor did he pursue Guang Ling Douluo, who had been rescued by Snake Spear and Thorny Porcupine. This was because, along with these four Titled Douluos, the Spirit Hall's army of ten thousand had also arrived.
In addition to the forces led by Chrysanthemum Douluo, Ghost Douluo, and the other two elders originally assigned to attack the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan, the troops that Guang Ling Douluo had handed over to several Soul Douluos after withdrawing from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan had also just arrived at Sunset Forest.
The Spirit Hall's original force of ten thousand soul masters assigned to attack the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan had suffered around three thousand casualties in the battle, leaving roughly seven thousand remaining.
The force attacking the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan had also lost nearly two thousand, leaving around five thousand.
