Douluo Dalu 2: Unrivaled Tang Sect

Chapter 86.3. The Origin of Destruction, He Caitou

A soul tool forts offensive advantages were blatantly obvious as shown by He Caitous ability to launch omnidirectional attacks. However, in exchange for such firepower, it was nigh impossible for him to move and so he was simply unable to dodge An Lengyes attack.

An Lengyes attack was a surprise attack that was launched with perfect timing. Although Huo Yuhaos Spiritual Detection covered the entire arena, that didnt mean it was omniscient; there were still a few instances, such as this one, that could exceed his senses.

She has a soul bonea skull bone. Huo Yuhao used his Spiritual Detection Sharing to transmit his thoughts to his teammates spiritual seas.

There was no doubt about itthis was the strength of An Lengyes released soul bone, strength that allowed her fourth soul skill, Frost Tornado, to surpass the level of a Soul Ancestor. Only then was she able to stop the members of Shrek from advancing. Otherwise, if Xu Sanshi and Bei Bei charged over, and He Caitou was allowed to recover and start attacking again, the match wouldve been settled.

The might of An Lengyes amplified attack had already reached the level of a Soul King. Bei Bei furrowed his brows greatly, then placed his hands in front of his body and quickly moved horizontally. He released a dense cloud of lightning to protect his own body, but he was still forced backwards by An Lengyes powerful attack. However, his footwork placed him right in front of He Caitou. Since his opponents were able to spot the problems of a soul tool fort, why wouldnt he be able to, as the leader of Shreks Seven Monsters?

Right after that, however, Bei Bei suddenly felt the pressure on him lighten. Layers of barriers had appeared behind him, black barriers that rippled like water.

Xu Sanshi turned back and smiled naughtily at him. His second soul ring was flickering, and he didnt seem to exert any force at all as he took on the strengthened Frost Tornado.

This was Xu Sanshis second soul skill, Mysterious Underworld Shield.

On the surface, it was a soul skill similar to the Shield Wall. However, the defensive power of Xu Sanshis Mysterious Underworld Shield was far superior compared to Shield Wall.

This was especially true for the ice-type skill he was currently defending against. A portion of the attacking ice melted upon contact with Xu Sanshis water barrier, depleting most of the attack before it could strike Bei Bei. One could tell from the smile that Xu Sanshi gave Bei Bei that this attack wasnt pressuring him.

Although the strength of the Frost Tornado had been boosted to the level of a Soul King, she faced the same problem as He Caitou. In the end, An Lengye was still a Soul Ancestor and could not properly control the skill. Furthermore, her attack was one that targeted a large area. Its destructive power was far from the Thousand-strike Lance, which focused all its power on a single target.

However, An Lengyes actions had given the Thousand Spirits Academy enough time.

The four possessors of the Spirit Rhinoceros Shield quickly regrouped. Although they were all injured, with Bai Chen and Ye Maos shields having been blown apart and their right arms bleeding. They were still defense-type soul masters. As a result, they could still defend themselves and werent fully drained of their fighting strength.

When An Lengye launched her all-out attack, they had regrouped and quickly stood in front of her. Shen Ce was also able to recover to some extent thanks to the time An Lengye had bought them, while the red-faced Fei Yuyan quickly got back to her position by riding the Blaze Tiger.

She had originally competed against An Lengye for the position of vice-captain, but now, she finally understood that the gap between them was too simply too vast.

Shen Ce shouted out, Let me do this! At this moment, not only was he filled with the intent to fight at this moment, but he also felt grief and indignation. From his point of view, the match was going to be decided without his opponents three strongest members having made a single move. As the saying went, an army burning with righteous indignation was bound to win. At this moment, he was prepared to put everything at stake for this fight.

A cold glint flickered through his eyes as the Thousand-strike Lances fifth soul ring lit up. He let out a shout as he flung his weapon out.

This time, he had fully concentrated his spiritual power to defend against Huo Yuhaos Spiritual Shock.

By now, Fei Yuyan finally understood the role she needed to play in this fight, and her strength-amplifying soul skill appeared once again. Additionally, she rode the Blaze Tiger to stand in front of Shen Ce and protect him from potential sneak attacks.

Shen Ces target wasnt anyone else but the person whod disrupted his attacking strategy, the same person whod caused the trajectory of the Thousand-strike Lance to swerve towards his own teammatesHuo Yuhao. Despite knowing he had no hope of victory, he still attacked to see how strong his extremely mysterious and extremely powerful enemy was.

The Frost Tornado blocked not only Bei Beis assault but also Huo Yuhaos Spiritual Detection. As a result, the Blaze Tiger-boosted Thousand-strike Lances incandescent glow only appeared in Huo Yuhaos Spiritual Detection the moment it left the Frost Tornado.

Not good! Bei Bei cried out involuntarily.

How was Huo Yuhao some kind of mysterious expert?! His real strength was only that of a two-ringed Rank 27 Soul Grandmaster.

There would only one outcome if he were to face the Soul King-ranked Shen Ces Thousand-strike Lance that had been additionally boosted by a fire-attribute control-type soul masterDeath!

Bei Beis expression changed, along with those of He Caitou, Jiang Nannan, Wang Dong, and Xiao Xiao.

Wang Dong moved horizontally, wanting to stand in front of Huo Yuhao. However, he was stopped by the latters left hand. In order to hold onto Wang Dong, Huo Yuhao didnt hesitate to use the enormous strength of the Ice Empress Pincer

The looks on five peoples faces changed while the other two of them had ordinary expressions on their facesthese two people were Huo Yuhao and Xu Sanshi.

A black light flashed and Huo Yuhao suddenly vanished, a tall figure taking his position. The figure raised a sturdy shield, and the image of an enormous black turtle appeared behind him. The light of his fourth soul ring vanished as it was replaced by the light his third soul ring.

In an instant, the intense black light transformed into an ice-cold wave. The air started to twist violently, causing distortions to surround the black wave.

The already enormous Shield of the Xuanwu Turtle suddenly doubled in size as a triangular point appeared underneath it. The instant the Thousand-strike Lance arrived, it stabbed fiercely into the ground. This shield was directly affixed to Xu Sanshis shoulder, and its surface was slanted!

Boom!

The violent booms forced Xu Sanshi and his Shield of the Xuanwu Turtle back seven or eight meters before he was able to stop. And this was with the help of Xiao Xiaos Threelives Soulcrush Cauldron.

In that instant, Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao both felt a powerful, mountain-like feeling from their usually lecherous senior who always clung to Jiang Nannan. In that instant, Xu Sanshis eyes became filled with a grave and steady look, along with an unrivalled expression of haughtiness!

When a defense-type soul master faced an assault-type soul master of the same rank, normally, neither would gain an advantage.

At this moment, however, Xu Sanshi had overturned everyones way of thinking. He was able to rely on his defensive capabilities to not only block the attack of a Soul King who not only had one more soul ring than him but was also being boosted by another fire-type Soul Ancestor. His current defensive power could be considered to be at the very peak of the Soul Ancestor rank.

The black light vanished, revealing Xu Sanshis straight figure. The Shield of the Xuanwu Turtle in his hands had already returned to its normal size. He used his hand to comb his hair for a bit before he said indifferently, How relaxing!

Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao, who were originally filled with admiration, suddenly slipped and nearly fell to the ground.

Why was Huo Yuhao not worried at all? This was because Xu Sanshi had an ability that didnt seem to have any offensive or defensive capabilities, and yet was a defense-type soul skill that could transform into something magicalthe Mysterious Underworld Displacement.

He was able to instantaneously swap places with Huo Yuhao by relying on the Mysterious Underworld Displacement, taking Huo Yuhaos place to block Shen Ces all-out blow. However, Huo Yuhao was switched to the location of the Frost Tornado that Xu Sanshi was originally in.

The might of the Frost Tornado was already reaching its end. Hence, although it was still very powerful, it wasnt life-threatening to Huo Yuhao. At the very least, it would be much better than being pierced by the Thousand-strike Lance.

Furthermore, Bei Bei was able to immediately rush over the instant Huo Yuhao was displaced due to the latters Spiritual Detection. He pulled Huo Yuhao behind him, using his back to withstand the last bits of the Frost Tornados might.

At this exact moment, Huo Yuhaos eyes lit up with an eye-piercing red glow as he raised his right hand and pointed a finger towards the sky.

The six blood-colored soul rings once again descended upon the field. The terrifying aura of a hundred thousand year soul beast caused even the protective barrier set up by the hundred and eight soul masters to tremble violently.

This desolate aura filled with a desolate might caused the air surrounding Huo Yuhao to seemingly solidify, and a light image flickered behind his back. Only He Caitou and Jiang Nannan, who were doing their best to hold on, were able to see that the light image was actually that of a scorpion.

Ice, I am your master! A low voice passed through a previously prepared sound amplifying soul tool and resonated throughout the entire Star Luo Plaza.

Every single spectator who was witnessing this astonishing scene suddenly felt as if their hearts were being crushed as they heard this voice.

The audience then witnessed a scene that they would never be able to forget for the rest of their lives. The Frost Tornado that was originally wreaking havoc abruptly paused in mid-air. Following that, it instantly rose into the air and turned back towards the students of the Thousand Spirits Academy.

Huo Yuhao didnt stop there either, and pointed a finger from his right hand towards the Frost Bear. The latter looked as if it had seen the most terrifying creature in the world, causing its body to shudder violently. Afterwards, it shattered with a peng into motes of light that filled the sky before dissipating.

An Lengye let out a muffled groan and spat out a mouthful of fresh blood before collapsing. The last thing she saw before fainting was Huo Yuhaos emotionless and lifeless blood-colored eyes staring at her.
