Simulation Soul Skill, as an illusion-type soul skill, was mostly used by Huo Yuhao in the original story to disguise himself as a soul beast expert or other individuals, using it to intimidate people with false authority.
However, this soul skill, which can even mimic soul power fluctuations and life aura, has effects that are virtually heaven-defying. If used properly, it can deceive everyone and change the outcome of a battle.
Just like now, the entire sky above is actually an illusion created by Huo Yuhao's simulation, with the real direction of the Phoenix Meteor Shower being the opposite of what Dai Yueheng and his team perceive, instantly trapping them in a deadly situation.
Dai Yueheng unleashed his sixth soul skill, White Tiger Annihilation Kill, after activating all his buff skills. This increased his speed to an unbelievable level, allowing him to evade the range of the Phoenix Meteor Shower's attack.
However, if he evaded the Phoenix Meteor Shower's attack, Xi Xi and Chen Zifeng would suffer the most severe blow and be annihilated in an instant.
This was a heart-wrenching dilemma set by Huo Yuhao for Dai Yueheng – to save himself or to save his teammates, a tough decision to make.
Dai Yueheng clenched his teeth tightly, causing a crackling sound. He didn't expect that despite all the strategies he set, he would be utterly defeated by Huo Yuhao's single simulation soul skill.
"Huo Yuhao, you think you can beat me that easily? Think again!"
"Absolute Defense!"
A frenzied tiger roar sounded, and Dai Yueheng's right arm suddenly gleamed, with dazzling golden light instantly enveloping his entire body.
In one swift motion, his body turned into a golden streak, rushing towards all the Phoenix Meteor Showers in the sky, intercepting them with his body.
"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!"
The golden-red meteors bombarded Dai Yueheng's body, but they couldn't shake the golden light protecting him in the slightest. After intercepting all the Phoenix Meteor Showers, the golden light on Dai Yueheng's body vanished simultaneously.
The flashing light on Dai Yueheng's right arm was a soul bone skill named Absolute Defense, similar to Jiang Nannan's Invincible Golden Body soul skill.
However, his Absolute Defense could only be used for a moment and only once a day. But in that instant, his defense was invincible, provided that the opponent's attack first hit his right arm.
With Dai Yueheng's current cultivation, unless facing a super Douluo-level expert, his invincible shield could buy him a second of time and break the opponent's attacking soul skill.
However, using multiple soul skills simultaneously and activating the soul bone skill had left Dai Yueheng in a precarious state.
Ma Xiaotao, after releasing the Phoenix Meteor Shower, didn't pause at all and directly engaged the weakened Dai Yueheng.
Originally able to fight Ma Xiaotao for a while, Dai Yueheng was now barely holding on under the onslaught of the Phoenix Evil Fire, showing signs of defeat within a few moves.
"Chen Zifeng, target Huo Yuhao! Defeating him is our only chance to win!"
Hearing Dai Yueheng's words, Chen Zifeng, who had regained his senses, flashed a cold light in his eyes, and a dense red glow surged from his body.
This was a pure blood-red color. The moment this blood-colored soul power appeared, Chen Zifeng's eyes also turned blood-red, and a sharp killing intent swept across the battlefield like a sea of corpses and blood.
A blood-red beam shot out, and a sword appeared in Chen Zifeng's right hand. It was a thin sword about three feet six inches long and only an inch wide, with three blood grooves on the blade.
The thin sword paused slightly in the air before shooting towards Huo Yuhao like a blood-red rainbow, the air it passed through seemed to split open like a bloody mouth, emitting a strong scent of blood even before the sword arrived.
This was Chen Zifeng's martial soul, the Soul Chasing Sword!
As a sword martial soul master, Chen Zifeng excelled in speed. Now, he transformed into a blood-red shadow, with his long sword thrusting towards Huo Yuhao's throat.
Nearby, Ling Luochen and Yao Haoxuan tried to block Chen Zifeng's attack on Huo Yuhao.
However, Huo Yuhao extended his hand to stop them, shaking his head and saying, "Senior brothers and sister, please protect Ning Tian and block the remaining team members from the opposite side. Let me handle Senior Brother Chen and his Soul Chasing Sword."
"Huo Yuhao, Chen Zifeng is one of the most powerful members among us, second only to Ma Xiaotao and Dai Huabin, and his Soul King cultivation is not to be taken lightly. Can you handle it?" Yao Haoxuan said anxiously.
Suddenly, Yao Haoxuan and Ling Luochen noticed that Huo Yuhao's hand now held an enormous black greatsword.
But rather than calling it a greatsword, it was more like a thick iron ruler without any edge or blade.
The surface of the giant ruler was covered with faint and peculiar patterns, which extended to the hilt, almost covering the entire blade. Its ancient black color gave it a mysterious aura.
"Don't worry, I've got this."
Huo Yuhao smiled, nodded, and with the heavy Black Ruler in hand, he faced Chen Zifeng.
"Huo Yuhao, you are the bravest second-year student I've ever seen. A Spirit Grandmaster daring to face a Soul King, let me show you the difference in power between the two!" Chen Zifeng laughed heartily.
"Hmph."
Huo Yuhao exhaled a breath of white frost, and the Black Ruler in his hand suddenly ignited with a fierce ice-white flame.
"Do you want to dance too?"
With a twist of his body, Huo Yuhao swung the Black Ruler like the blade of a windmill, turning it into a black torrent that collided with Chen Zifeng.
At the first contact, Chen Zifeng was astonished. He intended to suppress Huo Yuhao with his Soul King-level strength, but as soon as the sword blade touched the ruler, it was bent into an arc, and a sharp pain shot through his hand, nearly making him drop his sword.
"What great strength!" Chen Zifeng was secretly shocked. "His physical strength rivals that of an ordinary Soul King or even a Soul Emperor, how is that possible?"
At that moment, another dazzling light entered Huo Yuhao's body. Ning Tian, highly coordinated with Huo Yuhao, seized the opportunity.
"Third Soul Skill: Strength!"
The terrifying power, already like a raging ocean, surged to a new level. Chen Zifeng could no longer withstand it and was sent flying by Huo Yuhao's single strike.
Following up, Huo Yuhao used his Skyfall Footwork to instantly appear in front of Chen Zifeng again, bringing down the Black Ruler in a move called Mountain Splitting Slash.
While swords are light weapons, the Black Ruler is a genuinely heavy weapon. Normally, Chen Zifeng shouldn't engage Huo Yuhao head-on but should rely on his speed and soul skills to find a killing opportunity.
However, underestimating Huo Yuhao because of his Spirit Grandmaster level, Chen Zifeng made a grave mistake.
Now, having lost the initiative, Huo Yuhao relentlessly pressed on, not giving Chen Zifeng any chance to unleash his soul skills.
Chen Zifeng tried to use his Soul Chasing Sword to block Huo Yuhao's strike, but suddenly felt his soul power flow being suppressed.
The previous brief exchange with Huo Yuhao's strength didn't fully reveal the blocked soul power feeling. But now, in a full frontal clash, the soul power blockage became evident.
The ice-white flames burned the Soul Chasing Sword red-hot, and Chen Zifeng's hands were scorched with blisters. Seeing the dire situation, Elder Xuan intervened, rescuing Chen Zifeng.
In just two moves, Huo Yuhao had defeated a member of the Shrek Seven Devils, demonstrating his terrifying strength!
