Sea Spear Douluo's Fury

Sea Spear Douluo was in a difficult position. If he did not unleash it, more than half of the energy he had accumulated would be wasted. His Soul Power had already been heavily depleted.

Moreover, when he transformed into the Golden Spear and unleashed that special Martial Soul Avatar, it appeared that he had not suffered much harm under Su Xuan's hit-and-run tactics.

But in truth, how could a top-tier secret art of the Dao Sect have had no effect on him? Although he had reversed the disadvantage with his state at the time and seized the initiative, he had failed to seriously injure Su Xuan as he had imagined. In fact, he might not even have touched a hair on him.

He was injured, and his expenditure had consistently exceeded his opponent's. If this continued, it would only become more disadvantageous for him.

This was also an important reason why Sea Spear Douluo was so eager to fight Su Xuan to the death. If he did not defeat his opponent quickly, he would no longer be able to bear the drain on his Soul Power.

Su Xuan's judgment was correct. Sea Spear Douluo was indeed among the top three in strength among the Sea God Seven Sacred Pillar Guardian Douluo.

"This is getting a little drawn out."

Su Xuan narrowed his eyes slightly. Once he waited a little longer and saw through all of his moves, it would be time for the killing blow.

Sea Spear Douluo's abilities were renowned for their overwhelming attack power. Unstoppable offense and formidable penetrating power were his defining traits.

If he were allowed to fully unleash his might, then even Su Xuan would likely struggle to survive safely without deploying a top-tier defensive soul skill like the Land of No Dust.

If Sea Spear Douluo fully unleashed his powerful offensive soul skills, then on Sea God Island, perhaps only Sea God Douluo Bo Saixi could block them head-on.

However, Su Xuan had seen through this long ago and had thus devised hit-and-run tactics.

That gradually exposed the weaknesses behind his high attack power: his helplessness against illusion secret arts, as well as the massive consumption caused by such powerful attacks.

Under Su Xuan's war of attrition, Sea Spear Douluo's Soul Power had now been depleted to a terrifying extent. His Ninth Soul Skill, Oblivion, Sigh of the Sea, had been condensed but could not be unleashed no matter what.

A single-target attack required locking onto the target. Without being able to lock on, he could not bring out the attack's full power.

Su Xuan's secret art space still lingered over the Sacred Pillar Platform without dispersing. Although the Sacred Pillar Platform was not particularly large, neither was it small. Sea Spear Douluo understood that blindly firing off an attack would only increase his expenditure. He also considered that Su Xuan might have entered the seawater, so he controlled the spear to circle around the Sacred Pillar Platform.

But Su Xuan possessed almost godlike perception, born from the evolved Power of Heaven and Earth. It was terrifying beyond measure.

Su Xuan dodged the threats Sea Spear Douluo posed without any real danger, while Sea Spear Douluo's Soul Power continued to drain under these circumstances.

Finally, left with no choice, Sea Spear Douluo withdrew his Ninth Soul Skill, allowing a massive amount of Soul Power to be wasted.

"Come out! Do you dare fight me openly and honorably?" Sea Spear Douluo's furious voice echoed across the Sea in the Sea.

"Idiot. Before victory or defeat is decided, who would pay attention to such a petty provocation?"

A flash of golden light streaked out as the Golden Spear stabbed toward the Sea Spear Sacred Pillar Platform. In order to force a direct battle, Sea Spear Douluo had no choice but to charge into Su Xuan's secret art.

Although fighting within this strange domain put him at a tremendous disadvantage, if he did not do so, then he, a dignified Titled Douluo and one of the Seven Sacred Pillar Guardians, would be defeated after his Soul Power was drained by his opponent. His rich combat experience led him to make the most correct response. At this moment, Su Xuan's Spiritual Power completely suppressed him, making it like fighting while blind. He had to engage in close combat as quickly as possible.

The instant the spear entered Su Xuan's Dao Sect secret art, countless rays of golden light immediately bloomed from within the golden mist, visible even from outside. This was another helpless choice for Sea Spear Douluo. Having entered a space he could not clearly investigate, if he did not do this, he could be severely wounded at any moment.

This attack had to be unleashed, both to protect himself and to determine Su Xuan's location.

A cold smile hung on Su Xuan's lips. What was he thinking? How could a top-tier Dao Sect secret art have only that little function?

Sea Spear Douluo possessed extensive combat experience, and from everything that had happened earlier, he had already noticed that something was wrong.

Throughout the battle, he had been led around by the nose. He could not bring his advantages into play, while his opponent had made full use of his weaknesses.

Most infuriating of all, every time he launched an attack, his opponent seemed to foresee it and chose the most appropriate method to respond, fully exploiting every advantage at his disposal. He vaguely sensed that being targeted to this degree could no longer be explained by combat experience alone. There had to be some reason.

Yet he could never have imagined that the situation he currently faced was because his opponent's Spiritual Power had grown so powerful that it surpassed his own detection abilities.

All the golden light swept through the mist, yet Sea Spear Douluo still received no response. All the pain and frustration he had suffered since the battle began finally erupted. Fury spread uncontrollably through his chest as the spear drew back and rapidly flew beside the Sea Spear Sacred Pillar. With a flash of golden light, an illusory figure swiftly separated from the spear.

But at that moment, Sea Spear Douluo felt an unprecedented terror rise in his heart. The immense pressure made even a powerhouse of his level feel as though he could no longer endure it.

A massive figure emerged from the mist. Terrifying Golden Sword Qi, filled with domineering majesty and unstoppable force, erupted before his eyes. Six streams of Golden Sword Qi converged in midair into a huge character for kill. Yet strangely, when this attack appeared, it did not lock onto Sea Spear Douluo's body. In other words, Sea Spear Douluo could completely resolve the situation by dodging.

But could he dodge? The answer was naturally no.

Behind Sea Spear Douluo stood the Sea Spear Sacred Pillar. As its guardian, whether out of instinct, fear of the Sacred Pillar being damaged, or fear that the Sea God's dignity would be violated, he absolutely could not evade.

The only path was to take it head-on. Since his opponent had not locked onto him, all the energy that would have been used for targeting had been converted into attack power. The all-or-nothing energy erupted in an instant.

Su Xuan narrowed his eyes slightly. His Spiritual Power gave him no warning of anything unusual, but this time, his naturally terrifying intuition issued an alarming warning.

Although Su Xuan had not used his intuition in a long time, that did not mean it had become less important. On the contrary, it was one of Su Xuan's greatest aids. Whenever deadly danger approached, it was always his intuition that warned him.

Su Xuan knew that this was Sea Spear Douluo's trap. Although Su Xuan did not know exactly how the trap had been set, since he knew it was a trap, then he had to reveal an opening. Su Xuan could make use of that as well.

A cold smile curled across Su Xuan's lips. You're finished, Sea Spear.
