Fighting with All His Might to Kill Hu Yanzhen
At this moment, Yang Xiong also understood that purely in terms of soul power level and physical strength, he was indeed at quite a disadvantage compared to Hu Yanzhen.
Gritting his teeth, Yang Xiong directly used his fifth soul skill: Scarlet Blood Thunder Sword. A blood-red longsword instantly appeared in his hand, with arcs of lightning flashing across its surface.
Yang Xiong slashed with all his might, sending a terrifying blood-red sword aura straight toward Hu Yanzhen's forehead, looking extremely fierce.
However, Hu Yanzhen merely crossed his arms over his chest, and when the sword aura struck them, it was like hitting a slab of stone,it shattered instantly from the impact.
Hu Yanzhen let out a loud laugh. "Brat, you've got some flashy tricks, but no matter how many methods you have, you can't break through my defense. Your attack is no different from a tickle."
Hearing this, Yang Xiong's eyes instantly turned blood-red. Golden patterns across his body lit up at once, and a terrifying light filled the space,it was the Killing God Domain.
Hu Yanzhen's expression grew more serious. Even though his soul power level was far higher than Yang Xiong's, the Killing God Domain rapidly drained his soul power. Even with his ferocity and strength, he felt a tingle of dread.
After activating the Killing God Domain, Yang Xiong gripped the Scarlet Blood Thunder Sword with both hands, launching a relentless assault on Hu Yanzhen. The two fought fiercely, neither able to gain the upper hand.
As Lin Gong had said before, any soul master who reached the Contra level was no ordinary opponent,especially Hu Yanzhen, who was nearly at the peak of Contra, just one step away from becoming a Title Douluo.
In comparison, the other members of the Elephant Armored Sect were in a much worse situation. Yang Wudi's Breaking Soul Spear was incredibly powerful, and the few from the Elephant Armored Sect could not withstand it at all.
Hu Yanzhen seemed to realize that if the stalemate continued, the others would be killed one by one by Yang Wudi. By then, he would have to face both Yang Wudi and Yang Xiong together, which would be truly troublesome.
Hu Yanzhen's third soul ring lit up, and the massive Diamond Mammoth unleashed endless power, as if to crush Yang Xiong entirely. It was his third soul skill: Death Crush.
This was a pure strength-based skill. Although only his third soul skill, its actual effect depended on his own power and soul power. With Hu Yanzhen's strength, even an ordinary Soul Sage could not withstand it.
Yang Xiong felt an overwhelming pressure on him, as if he were about to be crushed to pieces.
Gritting his teeth, he activated his third soul skill: Tyrannosaurus' Wrath. His body instantly became incomparably fierce, muscles bulging even more as he took on the appearance of a massive Silver-Horn Tyrannosaurus.
He then poured all his strength into the Scarlet Blood Thunder Sword, delivering a full-force slash. The sword released endless sword energy, which condensed into a massive character for "Kill." This was the Seven Kill Sword Technique.
Hu Yanzhen's Death Crush was directly broken apart by this sword technique, and the "Kill" character shot straight toward him, as if to split him in half.
Hu Yanzhen roared with anger, striking the Seven Kill Sword Technique with both hands. It felt like an earth-shattering explosion, a collision between killing intent and sheer physical might.
Both were forced back dozens of meters. For the first time, Hu Yanzhen had two wounds on his body, with blood seeping out. This was Yang Xiong's first time injuring Hu Yanzhen,and the first time Hu Yanzhen looked so disheveled.
However, Yang Xiong had already used three soul skills, consuming far more soul power than Hu Yanzhen, not to mention the original gap in their power levels.
Hu Yanzhen bellowed, "Brat, you're courting death. Did you think this is all the strength I have?"
His second soul ring lit up, and his already large body swelled further, muscles becoming even more imposing. This was his second soul skill: Mammoth's Great Strength, another power-amplifying skill.
The two clashed again and again, shaking the ground beneath them. After repeated collisions, blood trickled from the corner of Yang Xiong's mouth, and cracks began to appear in his Black Tortoise Armor, making his situation worse than Hu Yanzhen's.
Meanwhile, one Soul Sage of the Elephant Armored Sect had already been wounded by Yang Wudi's Breaking Soul Spear and collapsed on the ground, his fate uncertain. Another Contra and two Soul Sages were barely holding on, while Hu Yanli had fled far away, unable to participate in such a battle.
It seemed that Yang Wudi was keeping an eye on Yang Xiong's situation, ready to help at any moment if needed.
Yang Xiong's ability to fight Hu Yanzhen to this extent was due not only to his powerful physique but also to the multiple soul bones he possessed.
Most importantly, the Killing God Domain was suppressing Hu Yanzhen to some degree,its terrifying nature seemed to ignore differences in soul power level.
When Hu Yanzhen saw that one of his men had been lost, he became completely enraged. His sixth soul ring lit up,it was a formidable ten-thousand-year soul skill: Frenzy Destruction.
A gigantic Diamond Mammoth descended from the sky, filled with unstoppable fury. Yang Xiong felt as though he were about to be crushed completely.
Biting down hard, he used his self-created soul skill: Steel Bone. His skin and bones hardened entirely, and he braced himself to withstand the blow.
However, the strike's power was immense. Yang Xiong was sent flying, his Black Tortoise Armor now covered with countless cracks. Several bones were likely broken, and he spat blood uncontrollably, clearly heavily injured.
His eyes turned terrifying, his aura like that of a wild beast from the City of Slaughter.
"Interesting, Hu Yanzhen. I underestimated you. You truly live up to your title as the sect master of the Elephant Armored Sect."
Wiping the blood from his lips, Yang Xiong looked wildly arrogant, even ruthless.
Yang Wudi, who had been about to rush in and rescue him, saw that Yang Xiong was fine and relaxed slightly.
Yang Xiong continued, "If this is all the great sect master of the Elephant Armored Sect can do, then I'm very disappointed."
His second soul ring lit up, and his injuries instantly healed, his state restored to peak condition. This was his second soul skill: Golden Heart.
Hu Yanzhen laughed wildly. "Brat, you're interesting. Below the Contra level, I've never seen anyone stronger than you. But you're just a Soul Emperor. True strength begins at the Soul Sage level. I'll show you the real difference."
His seventh soul ring lit up, the massive black ring surging with endless power. This was his seventh soul skill: Martial Soul True Body.
Under its effect, his height grew from 2.5 meters to a full 3 meters. The Diamond Mammoth attached to him increased his strength drastically.
With a single punch, the ground around him shattered. Not only had his strength multiplied many times over, but his gravity control also skyrocketed. Just one blow sent Yang Xiong flying more than ten meters.
Yang Wudi shouted, "Be careful! Hu Yanzhen's seventh soul skill isn't simple,don't take it head-on!"
He looked ready to abandon his opponent to aid Yang Xiong.
But Yang Xiong roared, "Old goat, let me handle this. I want to see just how strong Hu Yanzhen really is."
A massive Rasengan formed in Yang Xiong's hands,much larger than before, with a diameter of a full meter.
Five elemental energies,metal, wood, fire, earth, and lightning,merged into it, making it shimmer with multicolored light and crackle with lightning. The combined power was so intense that even Yang Xiong's right hand struggled to endure the pain.
Hu Yanzhen, in his Martial Soul True Body, used his fifth soul skill: Mammoth Great Sword. A terrifying giant sword formed in front of the Diamond Mammoth, brimming with overwhelming power.
Yang Xiong, holding the massive Rasengan, charged at Hu Yanzhen with all his strength. The two were ready for a life-and-death clash.
The giant Mammoth Sword and the Rasengan collided, producing an earth-shaking explosion that sent both of them flying.
Yang Xiong looked terrible,his Black Tortoise Armor shattered, a deep sword wound cut to the bone across his chest, and his right arm completely broken.
Hu Yanzhen was not much better. His Martial Soul True Body was shattered, his hands were charred black, his chest bare from his torn clothes, and his chest bones appeared completely crushed.
Hu Yanzhen laughed loudly. "Brat, in the end, I still won. Just accept your death."
Yang Xiong sneered. "Frog in a well,you think this is enough to beat me?"
His sixth soul ring, a blood-red ring, lit up, releasing a terrifying aura. All his injuries, including broken bones and his shattered right arm, instantly healed,only his armor remained broken.
This was Yang Xiong's first ten-thousand-year sixth soul skill: Undying Body. Once activated, no matter how severe the injuries, they would fully recover instantly,truly an unkillable existence.
Hu Yanzhen's expression darkened. "Elephant Armored Sect, prepare to retreat. We'll settle this another day."
The others, ready to flee, all summoned their Martial Soul True Bodies to escape as quickly as possible.
But Yang Xiong's figure flashed, appearing directly before Hu Yanzhen, striking at his head with all his might.
Hu Yanzhen suddenly laughed wildly. "Brat, you've fallen into my trap. Your battle experience is still too shallow."
His eighth soul ring lit up, and countless massive diamonds appeared in front of the Diamond Mammoth. These diamonds not only had terrifying defense but also immense impact power. This was Hu Yanzhen's eighth soul skill: Infinite Diamonds.
"You think you've trapped me? I've been setting you up this whole time. Now die!"
Yang Xiong ignored the drain on his soul power and instantly activated the second ability of his sixth soul skill. A massive black dragon claw appeared in the air, grabbing toward Hu Yanzhen,this was his ten-thousand-year soul skill: Netherworld Dragon Claw.
Under the power of this attack, the countless diamonds before Hu Yanzhen shattered instantly, and even his Martial Soul True Body was torn apart. Finally, his physical body was crushed completely,Hu Yanzhen died on the spot.
Yang Xiong, however, coughed up blood and sat heavily on the ground. Hu Yanzhen's eighth soul skill was indeed incredibly powerful, and given the gap in both physical strength and soul power, it had been a dangerous fight.
Killing Hu Yanzhen this time had pushed Yang Xiong to his absolute limits,he had held nothing back.
If Hu Yanzhen hadn't been so confident in his scheme and recklessly used his eighth soul skill, Yang Xiong might not have been able to kill him.
After all, ten-thousand-year soul skills consumed immense energy, and Yang Xiong would never use them lightly. If such an attack failed to kill the enemy instantly, he would be left at a disadvantage.
