Qian Renxue hadn't yet recovered from Yan Xiao's bizarre movements when she suddenly found her arm lifted up, her hand rapidly tracing the sword's blade, her soul power uncontrollably flowing into it. Under
Yan Xiao's control, the Sacred Sword unleashed a brilliant golden sword aura, moving with lightning speed.
Seeing the sword aura arrive in the blink of an eye, the Serpent Spear Douluo thrust out his purplish-blue martial soul.
With a soft "Bang!", the spear and sword aura expanded together, emitting a cracking sound, and the sword aura vanished into thin air.
The Serpent Spear Douluo's spear slid five steps into the ground before he regained his footing.
He had completely underestimated the power of this attack.
He never expected that someone could use the soul power of a young master Soul Emperor combined with her soul skills to actually force back a Title Douluo like him!
Leaning against Yan Xiao's chest, Qian Renxue was also astonished by the power of that sword strike.
That sword strike, besides Xiao Yan's guidance, utilized her Sacred Sword and her own inherent power.
Just who was Yan Xiao to possess such ability? Qian Renxue was extremely curious.
After unleashing the sword strike, Xiao Yan spun Qian Renxue halfway around, pointing his Sacred Sword at the Porcupine Douluo: "Sword Two, Empty!"
Unlike the incredibly fast Sword One, Sword Two was more moderate, a strike that balanced power and speed; hence, it wasn't particularly outstanding in either aspect.
Dodging such a strike wouldn't be too difficult for the Porcupine Douluo, but he didn't intend to flee.
"Fifth Soul Skill, Thorn Bone Armor!"
With a flash of black soul rings, the Porcupine Douluo's body swelled to twice its original size, the purple spikes on his body transforming into a bone spur armor, which he raised to block.
"Defense?" Xiao Yan smiled faintly, ceasing his attack on the porcupine Douluo who had seemingly donned a tortoise shell. He pulled Qian Renxue around, and the Sacred Sword plunged into the ground: "Sword Four, Annihilation!"
The earth trembled violently, and countless sword energies erupted from the ground, rushing towards the Serpent Spear Douluo.
"Fifth Soul Skill, Thunderous Explosion Kill!"
Having learned his lesson, the Serpent Spear Douluo dared not underestimate him. His fifth soul ring flashed, and he leaped into the air, raising his serpent spear towards the sky.
Under the flashing black soul ring, crackling lightning suddenly appeared in the night sky, surging into the serpent spear.
Charged by the lightning, the Serpent Spear Douluo's eyes shone with golden light, and his body crackled with electricity as he descended from the sky, wielding a lightning serpent spear imbued with immense power!
The lightning-infused serpent spear collided with the sword energy that seemed capable of destroying everything, instantly producing a thunderous sound.
With a deafening boom, the entire earth shook violently, and countless bolts of lightning spread along the serpent spear to the surrounding land.
Dense lightning and holy fire rained down, instantly turning countless plants and trees to ashes, leaving a barren area within a hundred meters.
At that moment, sword energy struck the Porcupine Douluo, causing his purple armor to tremble violently. Countless purple-glowing spikes, several times thicker than before, shot out with incredible speed.
Watching Xiao Yan's retreating figure, the Porcupine Douluo smiled inwardly. Many would be misled by the effect of his fifth soul skill, believing it to be merely a defensive technique. However, the skill's true effect was that upon being attacked, it would unleash spikes.
Moreover, these spikes were not only incredibly fast, but also carried a potent toxin; even a Title Douluo would be severely injured if struck by them.
"I actually misjudged him!" Xiao Yan hadn't expected the spikes on the armor to be able to shoot. This Porcupine Douluo should just be called a porcupine, since it can really shoot.
Before Qian Renxue could recover from the power of Sword Four, Xiao Yan quickly turned and defended.
With the infusion of Xiao Yan's inner force, the Sacred Sword shone with a dazzling golden light, and the strange poisonous spikes shot by the porcupine were all purified by Xiao Yan within three feet of him.
Just as the attack in front was neutralized, the Serpent Spear Douluo attacked from behind.
Xiao Yan raised his leg and hooked Qian Renxue's slender jade leg, his body suddenly turning around. Qian Renxue was completely out of control, like a puppet. While deflecting the Serpent Spear Douluo's martial soul with his sword, his slender jade leg kicked straight at his face.
Unexpectedly, Xiao Yan's perception was so sharp and his reaction so fast. The Serpent Spear Douluo raised his hand to block.
Holding Qian Renxue's back, Xiao Yan adjusted her body again, turning a kick into a stomp, and used the Misty Sword Technique once more: "Sword Three, Fly!"
As she retreated, the Serpent Spear Douluo saw the flying sword energy, but had no time to defend, and could only adjust her body position to avoid her vital points.
Seeing that Qian Renxue's soul power was greatly depleted, Xiao Yan casually released her, gently tossing her aside: "Focus on comprehending the sword moves; this should be of great benefit to you."
"Who wants to learn your stuff!" Having been repeatedly toyed with by Yan Xiao, Qian Renxue had not only depleted her soul power, but also her physical strength, and gasped heavily.
Xiao Yan didn't care at all; if she didn't want to learn, so be it.
Raising his hand, Xiao Yan conjured a shimmering blue spear and looked at the Serpent Spear Douluo: "During the battle just now, you might have been preoccupied and unable to unleash your full power. Now, come on, let me see your other soul skills."
The Serpent Spear Douluo's rough hands gripped the purplish-blue serpent spear tightly. This person before him could control the young master and fight on par with him and Thorn Blood, clearly a very powerful soul master.
"Fourth Soul Skill, Swift as the Wind!" The Serpent Spear Douluo roared, his fourth soul ring flashing, his body crackling with lightning, his aura suddenly surging, shooting towards Xiao Yan like a meteor.
Stimulated by the lightning, the Serpent Spear Douluo's speed became extremely fast, the serpent spear in his hand swung with a strong whistling sound and electric current.
"Why are all the attacks lightning attribute..." Xiao Yan muttered lightly, swinging his Frost Dragon Spear to meet the attack.
The spears swelled together, unleashing a deafening roar. Countless bolts of lightning shot out from the point of contact, forcing the Serpent Spear Douluo back several steps, widening the distance between him and Xiao Yan.
The Serpent Spear Douluo's expression was grave; he had never expected his opponent's strength to be so terrifying.
In that situation, he had clearly gained the upper hand, yet he was still no match for him.
"Again, again!" Xiao Yan continued to taunt, brandishing his Frost Dragon Spear.
After consuming the pill, Meng Yiran's martial soul evolved from a serpent staff into the Frost Dragon Spear.
Completely ice-blue, less than two meters long, with exquisite dragon patterns on the spearhead, exuding a chilling aura that was impossible to look at directly.
This encounter with the Serpent Spear Douluo presented him with a perfect opportunity to develop a decent spear technique.
Naturally, he wouldn't let the Serpent Spear Douluo off so easily.
