Saundin vs. Snake Lance Douluo
Although she agreed, Qian Renxue couldn't immediately provide 60 billion Gold Soul Coin or items of equivalent value, so she could only issue an IOU first.
Zhou Qing wasn't afraid that Qian Renxue wouldn't recognize him.
After all--
The strong always have their own pride.
"Has someone else arrived?"
At this moment, Saundin arrived last, leading the team. He faced Qian Renxue with his reflective glass mask and began to talk about the situation on the Fourth Layer.
"Is there no other way to proceed?"
Qian Renxue frowned and looked at Zhou Qing and the others. She realized that these people, who had come down earlier than her, were unable to find a way to the next level in a short time, so they planned to return.
"No," Saundin. "However, I can help you obtain the White Whistle."
"Oh!"
Qian Renxue, with her own pride, had already guessed what Saundin meant by "help," and chuckled, not intending to accept it.
"Bring me the White Whistle!"
Snake Lance Douluo suddenly sprang forward and grabbed the Dragon Head White Whistle hanging around Saundin's neck.
There are some things that the young master cannot do himself; he needs to step in.
Snap!
In an instant, Snake Lance Douluo obtained the White Whistle, and as he grasped it, he slammed his fist into the opponent's chest, sending him flying.
Saundin flipped in mid-air, her feet touching the ground and her arms gripping the ground to stop herself. She then looked sharply at the Snake Lance Douluo.
"Young Master." The Snake Lance Douluo didn't even look at the other party, and handed the White Whistle to Qian Renxue. "Let's test whether what this person said is true or false."
Qian Renxue didn't scold She Long this time, but she also didn't take the White Whistle.
Snake Lance Douluo understood that the young master was unwilling to get his hands dirty, so he put the White Whistle into his pocket, preparing to try it out himself at the Gate later.
"That's pretty domineering."
Tang San felt a sense of disgust at the Snake Lance Douluo's actions.
This is blatant robbery!
In the past, he would at least cover his face!
It should be noted that White Whistle was able to form the Snake Lance Douluo only after his closest friends and beloved family members were willing to sacrifice themselves. How is this method any different from forcing a wife in front of her husband?
And there's that Qian Renxue!
Where was the discerning and gentle demeanor he possessed when he was Xue Qinghe?
Pride?
If you don't do it yourself, it's not considered a sin you've committed, and you're still a holy and noble Angel.
To hold a high position and fail to perform one's duties is a crime!
"Give it back to me!"
At this moment, Saundin's deep voice finally revealed a hint of anger.
Those whose helmets had square, round, and triangular patterns quickly stepped forward, but Snake Lance Douluo was ultimately Titled Douluo, unable to use his Soul Ring Skill. Relying on his powerful Soul Power and battle-hardened combat skills, he was able to handle these dozens of combatants with ease.
However, the special suits worn by these combatants seemed to have extremely strong defensive capabilities, which could reduce the impact to the greatest extent, so that these personnel had to be hit at least three times before they could fall to the ground.
However, these people did not cry out after falling to the ground. Even if someone's chest was pierced, they still slowly crawled towards the Snake Lance Douluo.
And what about Saundin?
He had taken off his coat, revealing a close-fitting exoskeleton Soul Conductor armor. As the gears on his chest turned, Sisi lightning flashed, and bursts of white steam erupted from behind him.
"Bang!"
In an instant, a huge blast of air shot out from Saundin's back and the back of his elbows. With the help of white steam, it rushed into the combatants without any regard for their Life, smashing them to pieces, and at the same time, it rushed to the front of Snake Lance Douluo.
"So fast!"
Snake Lance Douluo's pupils suddenly dilated. He couldn't imagine that a guy equivalent to a Soul Saint-level could move so fast, thanks to the effect of this strange armor, that even he, a Titled Douluo, couldn't react immediately.
"Get out of the way!" Qian Renxue's senses were pounding wildly, making him realize that if this attack hit, the Snake Lance Douluo would most likely die!
But it was too late!
At this moment, Snake Lance Douluo had no way to dodge and could only desperately thrust out his spear to kill his opponent.
Pfft!
The Snake Lance pierced Saundin's chest and went through his spine.
However, Saundin completely disregarded his injuries, and the steam at his elbows suddenly erupted, forming a sonic boom.
Bang!
In an instant, both fists struck the Snake Lance Douluo's chest, shattering his sternum and sending him flying.
"Cough!"
Snake Lance Douluo released his Martial Soul, bleeding profusely in mid-air, but he managed to suppress his injuries with his Soul Power, preventing his shattered sternum from piercing his internal organs.
But Saundin's attack wasn't over yet.
His fists opened wide, forming a calyx shape, and the gears of his armor began to spin rapidly, condensing his Soul Power into a crimson energy ball.
"Not good!"
Qian Renxue flew over to stop her.
However, Saundin's attack was faster.
Buzz!
The crimson energy ball was instantly unleashed, forming a crimson pillar of light that distorted the surrounding space, creating Sisi of white electric arcs!
Before Qian Renxue could even get close, she was overturned by the storm caused by the aftershocks.
Zhou Qing immediately picked up Riko and the Rabbit Girl, and retreated nearly fifty meters with Tang San, Xiao Wu, and Romantina to prevent themselves from being affected by the powerful attack.
After putting down Riko and the Rabbit Girl, Zhou Qing looked at the energy wave released by Saundin and the white transparent ripples around the red energy pillar. He realized that this burst of energy was first bound into a straight line by sonic vibration and then gathered high heat energy in it.
But the art style—
Genos from One-Punch Man?!
Snake Lance Douluo was the first to be hit. Even Titled Douluo- level Soul Power could not withstand such a beam of light for long. In less than thirty seconds, his body turned into ashes and disappeared. Even his personal Storage Soul Tool and the things inside it were destroyed. Only a Dragon Head White Whistle and a black, glowing right leg bone slowly fell from the sky.
Saundin lowered his arm, turned to look at Qian Renxue, who was staring at him in disbelief for a moment, and then slowly walked toward the direction where the White Whistle and the Soul Bone had fallen.
When the Snake Lance Martial Soul that was still piercing his abdomen turned into specks of light and dissipated, the wound healed.
Bend over.
Reach out your hand.
He picked up the White Whistle and hung it back on his chest, while he put the right leg bone into the small storage backpack on the back of his armor.
That was a Storage Soul Tool.
"Titled Douluo? Much weaker than the one I met two hundred years ago." Saundin's voice returned to its original deep tone, devoid of any emotion, stating a fact. "Angel reside in heaven. Angel who fall to earth, no matter how dazzling their light or how holy they are, are still fallen Angel."
Qian Renxue clenched her fists, her eyes blazing with anger, but she dared not lay a hand on Saundin.
Snake Lance Douluo has been annihilated!
At this point, she was only at the Soul King realm; rushing forward would be like throwing an egg against a rock!
Although that attack had definitely consumed most of Saundin's Soul Power, Qian Renxue didn't dare to gamble and only thought about exploring this place again in the future.
Qian Renxue was certain that the armor was Soul Tool from a lower level of this Abyss Ruins!
A mere Soul Saint, with just this armor, can instantly kill a Titled Douluo who cannot use any Soul Ring Skill. If Titled Douluo were to use it, how much stronger would the power be?
These Abyss Ruins might actually be one of the reasons she and her mother have the confidence to rebel against the gods of the Divine Realm in the future...
In the original novel, in the City of Slaughter, Tang San, at the Soul King stage, was even able to kill Soul Douluo using the Clear Sky Hammer and the Clear Sky Sect's Self-Created Soul Skill. The original text doesn't describe in detail how he killed them, only mentioning it briefly, but it's still part of the setting. Therefore, in special spaces like the City of Slaughter where Soul Ring Skill cannot be used, without the Divine Slaughter's Domain or other means, one cannot use Soul Ring Skill.
Therefore, it can be inferred that in Douluo I, if Soul Master loses their Soul Skill and cannot Self-Created Soul Skill, their combat power will drop drastically.
