Chapter 267 - Long Aotian vs Yan Feng
Du Qianjue waved his hand expressionlessly, then turned his gaze toward the Spirit Sect's waiting area. With Du Qianjue 's sharp eyes, he could clearly see Hu Po drinking juice in the waiting area. Wang Yifeng silently stored Chen Lu's remains again and quietly sat back down on the sofa, the others sheepishly returned to their seats as well.
Du Qianjue 's words resonated with them, but it was undeniable that after Wang Yifeng and Gu Tong successively killed the Spirit Sect's evil soul masters and emerged unscathed, they all developed a sense of disdain for the evil soul masters. Even the usually gentle Vina was no exception. They all shared the thought, 'Evil soul masters are nothing special,' believing that anyone else in Chen Lu's place would probably have underestimated Hu Po and ended up harshly beaten and possibly dead just the same.
This is why they felt ashamed by Du Qianjue 's words. Indeed, what right did they have to look down on anyone?
Hu Po also sensed Du Qianjue's gaze; it felt like an invisible giant hand was squeezing her heart, making her breath catch. Even though Du Qianjue hadn't yet broken through to become a Titled Douluo, his combat strength was genuinely that of a top-tier Limit Douluo. His hostile gaze was not something a mere Soul Saint like Hu Po could withstand. Even if Hu Po was extraordinary, she couldn't compare to the cheat-like player Du Qianjue. It was like comparing a primitive human to a Trisolarian.
"So strong! Who is he? The pressure he exerts feels even greater than that from Lord Xie Hu!" Hu Po looked towards the Body Sect's waiting area, and after locking eyes with Du Qianjue, she quickly looked away, utterly shocked.
Zhang Peng also appeared silently next to Hu Po, his expression grave as he locked eyes with Du Qianjue.
"The Body Sect has such a character? His aura is comparable to the Grand Priest?" After comparing Du Qianjue's aura with those he knew, Zhang Peng was startled. The Grand Priest he mentioned was naturally the Limit Douluo of Dark Holy Dragon, Dragon Xiaoyao.
Limit Douluo?! Zhang Peng was utterly dumbfounded, feeling a surge of fear.
Hu Po, who had killed a member of the Body Sect, was also seen by Zhang Peng. Aware of the Body Sect's reputation for protecting their own, he knew that after the competition, Du Qianjue would definitely come to kill Hu Po, and he himself might not escape death.
"Grand Priest? Lord Xie Hu, you aren't joking, right?" Hu Po forced a smile, cautiously asking.
But Zhang Peng didn't answer Hu Po's question and remained silent.
Hu Po's smile froze, and suddenly the world seemed to spin around her. It's over, I'm doomed! Unless Dragon Xiaoyao or Ye Xishui decided to intervene, she probably wouldn't even have a body to return… not right, in the hands of the Body Sect, she might not even leave behind a corpse... Hu Po felt like crying without tears. If she had known, she wouldn't have killed anyone from the Body Sect… Caught up in the moment and completely failed to consider that the Body Sect might have such a strong individual.
Unaware of Zhang Peng and Hu Po's near-breakdown from Du Qianjue's mere look, Yan Feng had already walked onto the arena, standing opposite Long Aotian.
"You are indeed strong, but this is where it ends," Yan Feng said in a low voice.
"You are more confident than your teammates, but I wonder if your strength truly matches your confidence!" Long Aotian scoffed, not the slightest bit intimidated despite only having sixty percent of his soul power left. Sixty percent was enough to deal with Yan Feng.
"The contestants are ready, let the match begin!" Non-breaking Douluo Zheng Zhan raised his hand and shouted.
One hundred and twenty-eight azure beams of light suddenly rose into the air, enclosing the entire arena. On the stage, Long Aotian and Yan Feng released their martial souls at the same time.
Yellow, purple, purple, black, black, black, black. Yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, black, black.
The former was Long Aotian's soul rings, and the latter was Yan Feng's. Although Yan Feng's soul ring configuration was inferior to Long Aotian's, his aura was equally formidable.
A resounding dragon roar echoed as a space rift tore open behind Yan Feng, and terrifying bone claws gripped the edges of the rift, tearing it wider. A dragon's skull bone emerged from the rift, and at the same time, Yan Feng's seventh soul ring emitted a profound black glow.
Martial Soul True Body! Yan Feng showed his hand right from the start, releasing his most powerful Martial Soul True Body.
Long Aotian also activated his seventh soul ring, his stature suddenly increasing to three meters, his skin emitting a lustrous white jade-like glow, with faint silver light swirling on its surface.
Martial Soul True Body, Body Martial Soul·Silver-grade Second Awakening! Long Aotian also went all out.
The enormous bone dragon fully emerged from the rift, nearly fifteen meters long and over seven meters tall, with deep blue soul fire burning in its empty eye sockets and massive bone wings stretching out.
ROAR—!! A dragon roar loaded with strong mental shock spread throughout the arena.
"Come on, let's see the basis for your arrogance!" Long Aotian laughed heartily, his soul guiding thruster glowing brightly, propelling him swiftly towards Yan Feng.
Yan Feng's expression remained indifferent, he bent his knees slightly to jump, landing on the bone dragon's head.
The bone dragon roared again, charging towards Long Aotian with its bony legs. Although not as fast as Long Aotian, who was assisted by the soul guiding thruster and almost forming an afterimage, Long Aotian quickly reached the bone dragon, raising his right hand to gather strength, his entire arm gradually transforming into the shape of a large knife.
Heaven-Man Unity·Kuang Shen Slash! With a crazed laugh, Long Aotian leaped into the air, his arm transformed into a chopping knife slashing down directly at Yan Feng atop the dragon's head. Yan Feng reacted swiftly, the bone dragon's sharp claws swung with a whoosh to intercept.
A loud clanging sound of metal striking bone erupted, and sparks flew from the collision between the white jade knife and the pale bone claw.
Missing his strike, Long Aotian twisted his waist mid-air, retracting his right hand while swinging his left, his huge fist instantly distorting into the shape of a large hammer, smashing down towards Yan Feng again.
The bone dragon retracted its bone claw to catch Long Aotian's left hand transformed into a hammer.
Both seemed to have ignited their anger, abandoning all soul skills to engage in pure physical combat, bone claw and large knife, large hammer continuously clashing, creating a thunderous sound of collisions.
"He's so powerful!" Jiang Yixi's eyes sparkled with stars, full of admiration as she spoke.
Vina instantly became alert, her eyes shadowed as she looked towards the cute Jiang Yixi.
Tang Ya straightforwardly commented, "I still think he's not as good as the master."
"I think so too!" Xiao Xiao nodded in agreement. (End of Chapter)
