"Bang, bang, bang!"
A series of violent collisions rang out.
The tall soul master's idea was undoubtedly effective.
Although he couldn't see through Lu Feng's strange soul skill, each impact was a head-on clash of strength. No matter how exquisite the opponent's technique was, as long as one's own strength was sufficient, one could counter all changes by remaining unchanged.
Relying on his realm suppression, the tall soul master gradually regained the initiative in the battle.
Suddenly, a strong soul power surged from his entire body, and his first soul ring flashed.
"Swoosh!"
A teeth-grinding sound of breaking air was heard. Two sharp wind blades were released from the tall soul master's sharp claws, attacking Lu Feng rapidly, one after the other.
Lu Feng's eyes sharpened, and his footwork became as ethereal as a ghost's.
Although the tall soul master's attack was fierce, it was, after all, two separate attacks with a momentary interval between them.
With an illusory flicker, Lu Feng's body passed directly through the gap between the two attacks.
The Clear Sky Hammer in his hand did not show any unnecessary fluctuation due to his body's movement. It always maintained a strange and stable rhythm, continuously swinging.
By the time Lu Feng had dodged the tall soul master's two attacks, his Clear Sky Hammer had already swung for the fortieth time. The black light accumulated on it had become more and more intense.
What surprised the tall soul master the most was that Lu Feng's physical fitness seemed to be a bit too strong.
The flaws of the Disorderly Splitting Wind Hammer Method were obvious.
First, it required a long time to build up the hammer's momentum, which was not very practical in battle.
Second, the rebound force of the hammer would be returned to the soul master themself. If one's own physical strength was too low, one would fall before the opponent.
At this time, the tall soul master's face was extremely grim.
Forty swings!
According to the Star Luo Empire's research, only a disciple of the Clear Sky Sect who had reached the Soul Ancestor level could swing that many times.
But the soul master in front of him clearly only had two soul rings. Yet he was able to use the Disorderly Splitting Wind Hammer Method to the fortieth swing.
In other words, he already possessed the strength of a Soul Ancestor.
"Flee!"
The tall soul master immediately had the thought of retreating.
This time, he was not planning a strategic withdrawal, but was running for his life.
As a high-ranking member of the empire, the tall soul master was quite knowledgeable. He knew clearly that after forty swings, the Disorderly Splitting Wind Hammer Method was not something an agility attack system soul master like himself could withstand.
"No, I can't escape!" The tall soul master immediately calmed down.
He looked at Lu Feng's strange footwork and instantly extinguished the thought of running away.
The next moment, a fierce glint rose in his eyes.
"I'll risk it!"
The tall soul master roared and swung his dog claws at Lu Feng.
His most correct course of action now was to defeat Lu Feng head-on, at any cost.
"Bang, bang, bang!"
A series of impacts rang out.
The tall soul master's eyes were blood-red, his face ferocious, and he had completely fallen into a frenzy!
"Bang!"
Lu Feng swung his hammer and directly caved in the tall soul master's chest. However, the tall soul master did not retreat but swung a claw directly at Lu Feng's head.
Lu Feng's figure flashed, and he instantly appeared over ten meters away.
But the timing of the tall soul master's attack was too good, almost the instant after Lu Feng had hit his chest.
"Rip!"
Lu Feng's left sleeve was completely torn, and three shocking claw marks were left on his arm. Blood continuously gushed from the wound, instantly dyeing his upper body red.
Lu Feng's brow furrowed, but he did not stop his movements. He gritted his teeth and swung the Clear Sky Hammer down into the empty air.
And after this swing, his momentum seemed to have reached its peak.
The forty-eighth swing!
However, if one looked carefully, one could see that Lu Feng's left arm could no longer be lifted.
At this time, the tall soul master's face was as pale as paper. His entire body was trembling violently, and he was coughing up mouthfuls of scarlet blood.
That last hammer blow had been hard to take. If his willpower hadn't been strong enough, he probably wouldn't even be able to maintain his martial soul right now.
"Hahaha!" He suddenly laughed wildly as he looked at the attacking Lu Feng.
His teeth were still stained with scarlet blood, looking particularly ferocious.
"Kid, you're about to collapse too, aren't you!"
The tall soul master's eyes were icy cold. He swung his dog claws and struck at Lu Feng's chest.
Incredibly, his fourth soul ring miraculously lit up again.
Being a trusted subordinate of the prince, the tall soul master's talent, mentality, and vision were naturally one in a million.
Of course, the most important thing was his own strength.
The tall soul master's fourth soul skill was called Heavenly Wolf Transformation, taken from a powerful soul beast called a Howling Moon Heavenly Wolf.
This soul beast could absorb moonlight essence to cultivate, and its combat power would be multiplied when fighting at night.
The tall soul master's fourth soul skill, if used at night, could be used twice in a row. The already powerful amplification skill, when stacked twice, could increase his attack, defense, and speed by one hundred percent.
If used during the day, it could also be forcibly stacked. However, his body would fall into a weakened state after the battle, and he would not be able to use the fourth soul skill for seven days.
This was a life-risking soul skill that he would not use unless it was a last resort.
It was also this soul skill that had allowed him to stand out from a crowd of candidates and become a personal guard of the prince. The tall soul master had already seen that Lu Feng's body had also reached its limit. His Disorderly Splitting Wind Hammer Method absolutely could not be stacked any further.
And Lu Feng's forty-ninth swing—with the boost from his two fourth soul skills, he was completely confident he could block it.
The tall soul master grinned ferociously, as if he could already see Lu Feng falling to the ground.
"Bang!"
The Clear Sky Hammer and the dog claw met. A violent soul power fluctuation exploded, and the pool was immediately shaken into surging waves.
"Crack, crack!"
The surrounding trees, swept by the strong wind, fell in swathes like wheat.
"Pfft!"
The tall soul master's body slammed heavily against a large rock, and he immediately spat out a large mouthful of blood.
He panted heavily, looking extremely miserable. However, his eyes shone with undisguised excitement.
He had withstood it!
He was still alive!
Lu Feng's condition was also not good at this moment. Thick blood, like two small red snakes, continuously flowed from his nostrils.
Lu Feng's vision was blurry. He didn't even dare to open his mouth to breathe, afraid that all the blood in his body would gush out.
If not for the fact that his five organs had just undergone a tempering, he would have probably already fallen.
"Kid, in the end, I still won!" the tall soul master said with a ferocious grin.
As expected, he had guessed correctly; the other's body couldn't hold on.
However, in the next moment, his eyes suddenly constricted.
He saw Lu Feng's body leap into the air, swing the Clear Sky Hammer, raise it high above his head, and smash it down on him.
The fiftieth swing!
"Madman!"
"Damn it, a madman!"
"Fuck, then let's die together!"
The tall soul master roared, barely managing to raise his hands and swing his dog claws at Lu Feng's stomach.
After this one hammer blow, the rebound force would erupt. The other party would not be able to survive under any circumstances.
He had completed the Third Prince's mission.
But the price was also his life.
"Hmph, you want my life? Ridiculous!"
Lu Feng suddenly chuckled lightly, and blood gushed from the corner of his mouth like a fountain. His smile, no matter how one looked at it, seemed like a final farewell to the world.
However, in the next moment, a layer of golden light emerged from his body.
Invincible Golden Body!
In Nuoding Academy, Lu Feng's most precious gains, besides the "Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record", were probably these two soul bone skills from Xiao Wu.
The duration of the Invincible Golden Body was only three seconds, but it could grant immunity to all physical attacks and double one's own strength.
Three seconds seemed very short.
But in many cases, it was enough to be the key to victory.
The Disorderly Splitting Wind Hammer Method was undoubtedly powerful, but its flaws were also very obvious. Just as the tall soul master had guessed, Lu Feng could not withstand the rebound force of the fiftieth hammer blow.
However, after using the Invincible Golden Body, Lu Feng no longer needed to consider this problem.
"Bang!"
A huge energy fluctuation caused an explosion in the air, like rolling thunder.
Lu Feng's Clear Sky Hammer slammed hard onto the tall soul master's body, directly shattering the left side of his body.
The heavy hammer continued its momentum and smashed into the ground. The earth was smashed open like tofu. The soul power vibrated, and crushed stones flew everywhere. When the golden color on Lu Feng's body disappeared, a huge crater had already appeared before his eyes.
At the bottom of the crater, the tall soul master's eyes were narrowed, his breath as faint as a thread.
"What a... good Disorderly Splitting Wind."
"The Clear Sky Hammer is truly worthy of being the world's number one tool martial soul. I just don't know when the Clear Sky Sect produced another... prodigy like Tang Chen."
Lu Feng stood on the ground, looking down at him, and said proudly, "The one who kills you is Tang San of the Clear Sky Sect!"
"Tang... Tang... Tang San."
The tall soul master repeated Lu Feng's words, then his head lolled to the side, and he closed his eyes.
Seeing this, Lu Feng finally couldn't hold on any longer and knelt directly on the ground.
He recalled the Clear Sky Hammer, took out a pill from his soul tool and swallowed it, feeling as if he had come back to life.
Lu Feng did not leave in a hurry, nor did he loot the body. Instead, he took out the Zhuge Godly Crossbow from his soul tool.
Click, clack, boom.
A series of mechanical explosions sounded, and sixteen sharp arrows shot rapidly towards the bottom of the crater.
The tall soul master let out a muffled grunt, and then fell completely silent.
His right hand slowly loosened, revealing a green, glittering poison needle.
