Warhorses neighed as the sand danced in the air. It was a scene of devastation as far as the eye could see. The long mountain path was littered with broken limbs, and fresh blood flowed like streams. The battle between thousands of soul masters was far more tragic than that of an ordinary army. The entire mountain was almost razed to the ground.
Both sides had about three thousand soldiers in total, and the battle was in full swing.
"Boom boom boom"
A violent thunderclap exploded. Fang Xuan's body was surrounded by blue lightning, and his black blade swallowed the killing aura. He transformed into a bolt of lightning that swept through the void and rushed toward the group of black-robed assassins in front of him.
"Thunderous Dragon Flash"
The dazzling blade light condensed into a thunderous dragon that spewed out lightning. It was extremely violent, and it blasted five black-robed Soul Kings into ashes. Their bodies were smashed into pieces, and not even a trace of them was left.
Fang Xuan was bathed in blood. His eyes were cold, and his body exuded an extremely dense killing aura. The black-robed assassins surrounding him were terrified and didn't dare to attack recklessly.
"Huff"
Just as Fang Xuan heaved a sigh of relief, an awe-inspiring killing intent suddenly attacked him from behind. It was as if he had been targeted by a ferocious beast. All the hair on his body involuntarily stood on end.
"Soul Douluo!!!"
When he turned back, Fang Xuan's eyelids couldn't help but twitch. All he saw was a golden eagle tearing through the void. Three yellow, two purple and three black soul rings revolved around its body, and it released a terrifying aura that made one's heart palpitate.
Soul Douluo! Furthermore, he had used his Martial Soul True Body right from the start and was prepared to kill Fang Xuan.
"Die! Fang Xuan"
This Soul Douluo was here for Fang Xuan. He spread his pure golden wings and transformed them into a sharp heavenly blade. A powerful force tore through the air as he slashed at Fang Xuan.
Lordia.
Fang Xuan furrowed his brows. He immediately recognized that this Soul Douluo with a golden eagle martial soul's true body was none other than Lordia from the Spirit Hall. His heart immediately sank. This was a genuine Soul Douluo who was at least Rank 80. Soul Sages couldn't compare to her. Furthermore, she was a flying-type Soul Douluo. Even if Fang Xuan had the Heavenly Wings, he wouldn't be able to escape.
Big trouble. Fang Xuan's eyes narrowed as he looked at Lordia, who was charging at him aggressively. He could feel the aura of death coming at him.
"Blue Emperor Slaughtering Formation"
At this critical juncture, Fang Xuan was extremely focused. He quickly activated his Bluesilver Domain to stop Lordia's attack.
Blue Emperor Slaughtering Array. It had an extremely powerful binding and sealing effect, and it could forcibly seal all enemies within the Bluesilver Killing Array for ten seconds and weaken their soul power by 50%.
"Eh, is this a domain?"
The Blue Emperor Slaughtering Formation was activated, and everything within a hundred meters was covered in dense Bluesilver Grass. It was filled with the aura of nature. Lordia, who had charged into the formation, paused for a moment. He could feel the powerful sealing force coming from all directions, and a look of surprise appeared on his face.
However, he only paused for a second. Golden soul power surged around his body, and he forcibly broke through the Blue Emperor Slaughtering Formation's restraints. He continued to charge towards Fang Xuan.
Fang Xuan's expression was extremely ugly when he saw this. He didn't expect the Blue Emperor Slaughtering Formation to be unable to restrain this Soul Douluo. It seemed like the difference in strength between the two of them was too great.
The Blue Emperor Slaughtering Formation was a domain-type skill. It had an extremely powerful sealing effect. However, the sealing effect of the Blue Emperor Slaughtering Formation would gradually weaken as the enemy's strength increased. In other words, the stronger the enemy, the weaker the sealing effect of the Slaughtering Formation.
In the face of a Titled Douluo, the Blue Emperor Slaughtering Formation would most likely be completely ineffective.
After all, Fang Xuan was still too weak right now. Even if a seven-ringed Soul Sage had charged into the Slaughtering Formation, Fang Xuan was confident that he could seal him for about five seconds to buy time for his counterattack.
However, it was a pity that Lordia was a Soul Douluo who was above Rank 80. He was more than thirty ranks above Fang Xuan. The difference in strength between the two of them was simply too great. Therefore, the sealing effect of the Blue Emperor Slaughtering Formation was reduced by almost ninety percent. It only managed to seal Lordia for less than a second.
"I can only go all out…"
There was a crazed look in Fang Xuan's eyes. His murderous blade aura burned furiously and dyed his pitch-black blade blood-red. He slashed towards Lordia, who was charging towards him.
Since he couldn't dodge, he could only go all out!
"Explosive Slash"
With a low roar in his heart, Fang Xuan activated the Soul of the Clear Sky Hammer. The five pitch-black soul rings on his body released a demonic glow. He unleashed his strongest attack, the Drawing Technique. The blade tore through the air and slashed towards Lordia.
"Hmph, you don't know what's good for you. A mere Soul King … eh?."
Lordia snorted coldly. He had a disdainful expression towards Fang Xuan's counterattack. However, when he saw the five pitch-black ten-thousand-year soul rings on Fang Xuan's body, his expression froze. Suddenly, he revealed a look of astonishment.
"Five ten-thousand-year soul rings. Such an unbelievable thing can happen. How is this possible?" Lordia was stunned.
He couldn't believe his eyes. He knew from the information that Fang Xuan was very talented. He had already become a Soul King at such a young age. He was far ahead of the younger generation and could compete with the golden generation of the Spirit Hall.
However, he didn't expect that all five of Fang Xuan's soul rings were ten-thousand-year soul rings. This was too shocking. Even if the three golden generations of the Spirit Hall were added together, they wouldn't be able to gather five fifty-thousand-year soul rings.
"Your talent is shocking. Unfortunately, you're only a Soul King now …"
Lordia's eyes were cold. His killing intent towards Fang Xuan skyrocketed. This kind of existence that was a threat to the Spirit Hall must be killed in the cradle as soon as possible. If one day, Fang Xuan broke through to the Titled Douluo, no one in the entire Spirit Hall would be able to do anything to him.
"Die, Fang Xuan." Lydia shouted. His right hand turned into a huge eagle claw. It carried a terrifying wind and fiercely slammed towards Fang Xuan. He wanted to smash the latter into meat paste.
"Boom." There was a loud sound. Although Fang Xuan used his Clear Sky Hammer martial soul and tried his best to resist, he was still sent flying by Lordia's palm. His body cracked and blood flowed out. His body flew twenty meters away uncontrollably and finally crashed into an ancient tree.
"Puff, Cough cough." Fang Xuan's face was pale. He coughed violently and spat out mouthfuls of blood. His aura suddenly weakened. The Soul Douluo's all-out attack was too terrifying. He used his full strength, the Slaughter Blade Aura, the Blue Emperor Killing Formation, and the Clear Sky Hammer martial soul. However, he couldn't even withstand the Soul Douluo's palm. He was sent flying and his body was almost torn into pieces.
More than half of the bones in his body were shattered. Even his internal organs were severely damaged. The blood that he coughed out contained a large amount of his internal organs. He was in so much pain that his scalp was numb. He almost fainted on the spot. If he was an ordinary person, he would have died on the spot.
However, Fang Xuan had consumed many types of immortal herbs. His body was tempered into steel and was extremely tough. In addition to the strong healing abilities of the Malus Anemone martial soul, he withstood the Contra Douluo's attack and silently healed his injuries.
"Impossible. How are you still alive? I used that palm in my Martial Soul True Body state. Even an ordinary Soul Sage would be smashed into meat paste by my palm. You're just a Soul King. How can you block my attack?"
Looking at Fang Xuan, who was still alive, Lordia was extremely shocked. He couldn't understand how a Soul King over Rank 50 was able to withstand the powerful attack of a Soul Douluo.
However, something even more shocking happened in the next moment.
"Immortal Begonia, heal."
Fang Xuan shouted and used all his strength to activate the Immortal Begonia martial soul. He used the peak-level healing skill — Divine Samsara Light. His entire body released a seven-colored glow, and his injuries healed in the blink of an eye. He was as good as new.
"F * ck. How is this possible?" Lordia's eyes widened. He looked as if he had seen a ghost. He couldn't help but curse. This kid must have cheated. An assault-type Soul King knew healing soul skills. Furthermore, he was able to heal his injuries in an instant. How could this not be shocking?
When Fang Xuan raised the Immortal begonia martial soul to its peak, its healing abilities became extremely terrifying. As long as it wasn't a fatal injury, it could be healed in the blink of an eye. It was very abnormal.
However, this skill consumed a lot of soul power. In the process of actual combat, Fang Xuan estimated that he wouldn't be able to use it two or three times before his soul power was completely depleted. Therefore, he had to plan carefully and only use the Divine Samsara Light at the most critical moment.
"I can't let you live." Lordia's expression was cold as he watched Fang Xuan's injuries heal. His eyes surged with boundless killing intent. He flapped his golden wings forcefully and turned them into a peerless heavenly blade. He slashed at Fang Xuan's waist with murderous intent.
"Not good." Fang Xuan quivered. He was once again shrouded by the threat of death.
At this moment, a cold snort exploded in the void.
"Little bird, do you think you're some kind of peerless expert? Scram."
An elder with dark green hair stepped through the air and aimed at the golden eagle that was charging at Fang Xuan. He pointed a finger, and the sky changed colors. He sent the eagle flying.
Lordia was bleeding all over. His wings were broken. He screamed, "Titled Douluo."
Only a Titled Douluo could send a Soul Douluo flying with a single finger.
The arrival of a Titled Douluo immediately caused a huge commotion. Regardless of whether it was the black-robed assassins or the Heaven Dou Empire's soul-master legions, everyone stopped fighting. They all looked at the nine-ringed Titled Douluo.
"Dugu Bo. That's the Poison Douluo Dugu Bo."
Someone screamed. He recognized Dugu Bo.
Dugu Bo arrived in front of Fang Xuan with large strides. He glanced at the latter's miserable appearance and could not help but reveal a mocking expression. He said, "Stinking brat, I didn't expect that you would be in such a miserable state. You can't even beat a little bird. Hahaha."
"Little bird."
Fang Xuan's mouth twitched. He cursed in his heart. Alright, you're a Titled Douluo. You're good. You can act all you want. However, it was all thanks to
Alright, you're a Titled Douluo. You're good. You can act all you want.
However, it was all thanks to Dugu Bo's timely intervention that he managed to survive the Soul Douluo's attack. He was very grateful for this old monster's help.
"A little Soul Douluo dares to be so arrogant. Is there no one else in the Heaven Dou Empire?"
Two beams of cold light shot out from Dugu Bo's dark green eyes, and he pointed at Lordia again. This time, he directly destroyed this powerful Soul Douluo's Martial Soul True Body and even pierced a bloody hole in his chest. Fresh blood flowed out from the hole.
"Ah …"
Lordia screamed in pain and spat out a mouthful of blood. He was a Rank 85 Soul Douluo, but he couldn't retaliate at all in front of Dugu Bo. He was beaten up so badly.
"Die, little bird!"
Dugu Bo's killing intent was triggered. His nine rings glowed as he fully unleashed his titled battle pet warrior soul power. He locked onto Lordia and punched across the air. A green soul power fist dashed across the sky like a shooting star, aiming at this severely injured Soul Douluo. Dugu Bo wanted to kill him once and for all.
At this moment, a golden chrysanthemum descended from the sky and landed in front of Lordia. It blocked Dugu Bo's killing blow for him.
"How dare you! Old Poison, how dare you attack one of our people? Are you tired of living? "
A man in white descended from the sky. He was holding a strange chrysanthemum in his hand. There was a faint fragrance coming from it that made one feel refreshed.
However, many people were more afraid. This was because the terrifying aura coming from this man was even stronger than Dugu Bo's.
"Another Titled Douluo!!!"
Everyone's eyelids twitched. They were terrified. They didn't know what day it was. In the past, Titled Douluo was rarely seen. It was rare to see them, but today, they appeared one after another.
This man in white was one of the elders of the Martial Spirit Hall. He was a Rank 95 Titled Douluo, Yue Guan. His title was Chrysanthemum Douluo.
"Pfft! Chrysanthemum Guan, you were the ones who came to kill us first. How dare you complain first? Is your chrysanthemum itching again? I've just invented a secret poison. I'm sure your chrysanthemum will explode" Dugu Bo laughed evilly.
"Damn it, Old Poison, don't call me Chrysanthemum Guan" The Chrysanthemum Douluo's face turned green. He was so angry that his hair stood up. He glared at Dugu Bo.
"You're a chrysanthemum. There's nothing wrong with calling you Chrysanthemum Guan" Dugu Bo said confidently.
"Old Poison, very good. I'll destroy you today. I'll let you know why flowers are so red"
The Chrysanthemum Douluo's face turned green. His black hair danced in the wind. He was furious. He walked toward Dugu Bo step by step. His nine soul rings, two yellow, two purple, and five black, intertwined with each other. His murderous aura exploded like a hurricane. Everyone around him, regardless of whether they were friends or foes, was crushed into meat paste.
They died on the spot.
"You're wrong. Chrysanthemums are yellow, not red. You'll only become more and more yellow like sh * t" Dugu Bo mocked.
The Chrysanthemum Douluo was so angry that his body trembled.
"Old Poison, I'm going to kill you" The Chrysanthemum Douluo was completely enraged.
The two Titled Douluo were insulting each other in front of everyone. Their vulgar words were unpleasant to the ears. Many people were stunned. They felt as if their worldview had been refreshed.
"He's finally here …"
Fang Xuan's lips curled into a dangerous smile. He looked at this Rank 95 Elder of the Spirit Hall. He wasn't flustered at all. Instead, there was a look of excitement in his eyes.
From the start of this battle, Fang Xuan understood one thing. Even if their soul master legion defeated the assassins of the Spirit Hall, it was useless. It was just a small fight. It was insignificant.
The real deciding factor was this battle between the titled soul masters. If the Heaven Dou Empire's Titled Douluo won, they could take the opportunity to inflict serious damage on the Martial Spirit Hall.
On the other hand, if the Titled Douluo from the Martial Spirit Hall won, the H.aven Dou Empire's representative team would be wiped out. No one would survive.
Therefore, Fang Xuan had been preparing for this battle for a long time. He was just waiting for the Chrysanthemum Douluo and the Ghost Douluo to walk right into his trap.
Fang Xuan's lips curled into a confident smile as he watched the Chrysanthemum Douluo and Dugu Bo fight in the sky. Everything was under control.
The Chrysanthemum Douluo's white robes and hair fluttered in the air. He held a golden chrysanthemum in his hand, and his seventh soul ring lit up. He immediately activated his Martial Soul True Body. He transformed into a huge Singular Velvet Chrysanthemum, and a terrifying aura swept across the area.
This Singular Velvet Chrysanthemum was bigger than an adult. Its petals were as sharp as blades, and they were extremely cold. They cut through space, and when it spun, it was as if countless sharp blades were dancing in the air. It attacked Dugu Bo with lightning speed.
"Chrysanthemum Guan, I haven't seen you in a year. Your chrysanthemum … seems to have grown bigger"
Dugu Bo wasn't afraid at all as he looked at the chrysanthemum. He only laughed evilly and mocked Zu An's Chrysanthemum Douluo.
"Old Poison, I'm going to tear you to pieces today"
The Chrysanthemum Douluo was so angry that his lungs were about to explode. He activated his Singular Velvet Chrysanthemum, and his soul power was fully unleashed. He swept across the sky and struck Dugu Bo with lightning speed.
"Pfff "
What was rather surprising to the Ju Douluo was that his attack was quite effective. Dugu Bo coughed up large mouthfuls of blood from the impact, and he crashed heavily onto the ground before landing near an obscure luxurious carriage.
He didn't expect a Titled Douluo to be so easily defeated by him …
The Chrysanthemum Douluo was stunned as he looked at Dugu Bo, who was lying on the ground and spitting out blood. Then, he was ecstatic. He laughed arrogantly.
"Haha, Old Poison, you've become much weaker after not seeing you for so long. Are you getting old? Just in time, let me send you to the afterlife"
In the next moment, the Chrysanthemum Douluo descended from the sky and attacked Dugu Bo, who was beside the carriage.
"Hehe, Chrysanthemum Guan, you've been tricked" Dugu Bo smiled evilly as he looked at the Chrysanthemum Douluo.
At the same time, the carriage exploded, and two people dashed out. Each of them had nine soul rings, and they unleashed their full power as titled battle pet warriors.
They each slammed their palms into the Chrysanthemum Douluo and sent him flying.
"Ah … Chen Xin, Gu Rong, the two of you bastards tricked me"
The Chrysanthemum Douluo screamed as his martial soul's true body was destroyed. Even his arms were torn off. He spat out blood as he was sent flying. He fell to the ground like a kite with its string cut, and his blood was dripping everywhere …
His chrysanthemum was everywhere.
