First, the supplies wagon was hiding an elite unit—the Tiger Armored Army.
Then there were three Soul Kings and several Soul Ancestors and Soul Elders following in secret.
Such painstaking preparation clearly showed how seriously the Star Luo Empire took Lin Jin.
It also showed how much of a threat Lin Jin, the young Heaven Dou Empire general of the Northern Border, posed to the Star Luo Empire.
Lin Jin had anticipated this carefully planned ambush.
But he had not expected them to send three optimally configured Soul Kings and four Soul Ancestors just to kill him.
Soul Kings were pillars of strength on Douluo Continent. They served as teachers at mid- and high-level academies, and the quality of their Martial Souls was at least intermediate.
This was the most dangerous battle Lin Jin had faced in his five years at the Northern Border.
"Level 32 Soul Elder!" The man froze.
He was somewhat surprised that Lin Jin, who was barely over ten years old, already possessed the cultivation of a Soul Elder.
However, he did not stop his First Soul Skill's attack.
The Demon Blade and Flame Tiger Claw collided violently, erupting with a piercing Clash of Metal!
A shockwave of Soul Power spread outward from the two of them, whipping up the Dark Greenish-Black snow on the ground.
Lin Jin felt a scorching force surge toward him. His tiger's mouth went numb, and his body involuntarily retreated several steps, leaving deep footprints in the ground.
The power of a Soul King truly far surpassed that of a Soul Elder!
But Lin Jin was the host of the Indestructible Demon Armor Martial Soul.
Although the Indestructible Demon Armor possessed a Demonic Nature that could interfere with the mind, its abilities were also comprehensive, encompassing defense, speed, recovery, and strength.
"Hmph, a mere Soul Elder dares to take my attack head-on? How arrogant!"
Seeing Lin Jin knocked back by his attack, the Soul King gave a vicious grin. "Young Wolf, you truly have great potential. To reach the cultivation of a Soul Elder at such a young age, I imagine even the geniuses at Empire Academy are far inferior to you."
"Unfortunately, you will die here today."
Before he finished speaking, the Third Soul Ring on his body lit up. "Third Soul Skill, Tiger Roar Flame Wave."
He opened his mouth and roared. A pillar of energy mixed with sound waves and scorching flames shot straight toward Lin Jin.
Lin Jin's arms transformed into armor. Gripping the Demon Blade with both hands, he simultaneously activated his First Soul Ring and slashed with all his strength.
"First Soul Skill, Demon Blade Assault."
A Dark Greenish-Black Light Blade cleaved through the center of the flame energy pillar.
Seeing this, the Soul King swung his pair of tiger claws and tore apart the Light Blade, which had only a trace of Soul Power remaining.
"Hm? You have some tricks!" A trace of surprise flashed through the Flame Soul King's eyes. "But that's all!"
Before he finished speaking, a streak of cold light shot toward him.
"Enough nonsense!" Lin Jin took the initiative and brought the Demon Blade crashing down.
"Brat, you're courting death!" His words interrupted, the Soul King flew into a rage out of humiliation.
At that moment, the entire Black Snow Gorge had completely descended into a chaotic battle!
The 1,500 Reinforcements led by Lei Ke surged into the Canyon like a flood, engaging in a fierce battle with Star Luo's Tiger Armored Army and Soul Masters.
Shouts of slaughter, the clashes of Weapons, and the explosive roars of Soul Skills shook the heavens.
"Form up! Blood Blade Battle Formation!" Every hundred members of Lin Jin's Blood Blade troops formed a military formation and surrounded and attacked the Soul Masters.
The other two Star Luo Soul Kings were also tied down by Lei Ke and the few Soul Elders in the Heaven Dou Army working together. With the numerous Main Force troops present as well, they were unable to break free for the moment.
The Star Luo Colonel's expression was ugly. He had not expected Lin Jin to be so difficult to deal with, nor had he expected Heaven Dou to deploy so many troops.
Although they had the assistance of Soul Kings and Soul Ancestors, they could not withstand sheer numbers. Their Soul Power would eventually be depleted.
Their "Wolf Slaying" plan was clearly about to turn into a situation where they were devoured by the Wolf Pack.
The Star Luo Colonel grew anxious.
"We must kill Lin Jin first!" the Star Luo Colonel hurriedly shouted at the Flame Soul King. "He is the target of this operation!"
The Flame Soul King also realized that he had to end the battle quickly, and his eyes filled with Killing Intent.
The fifth black ten-thousand-year Soul Ring on his body suddenly lit up.
"Fifth Soul Skill, Flame Burning Heaven Slash!"
He brought his two claws together, condensing a huge Flame Battle Blade. The snow around him rapidly melted, and with terrifying might capable of incinerating everything in all directions, it descended toward Lin Jin's head.
This attack had already locked onto Lin Jin's Qi Mechanism, leaving him no way to dodge.
Facing this killing blow, Lin Jin took a deep breath. There was no fear in his eyes. Instead, blazing Battle Intent ignited within them.
Lin Jin's third thousand-year purple Soul Ring lit up.
"Third Soul Skill, Indestructible Demon Body!" Lin Jin let out a low growl, and Dark Greenish-Black Demon Armor instantly covered his entire body.
As Armor Emperor's ultimate skill in Honor of Kings, Demon Armor covering his entire body could block almost one hundred percent of the damage. At the same time, while the ultimate skill was active, his attack power increased dramatically.
The Demon Armor could even rebound half of his opponent's damage, returning it to them.
"Extreme Blade Storm Slash!" As the Indestructible Demon Armor fully covered his body, Lin Jin unleashed his Second Soul Skill, Extreme Blade Storm, swinging repeatedly at his opponent.
"Boom!!!"
The Dark Red Demon Blade and Flame Battle Blade collided like two falling stars, exploding against each other in Black Snow Gorge.
A terrifying shockwave exploded outward in a ring, and Broken Stone rained down as the Cliff Faces on both sides of the Canyon trembled.
More than a dozen Soldiers nearby, whether from Heaven Dou or Star Luo, were sent flying by the violent blast of air, suffering broken bones and torn tendons.
The vicious grin on the Flame Soul King's face instantly froze, transforming into utter shock!
He felt as though his invincible Fifth Soul Skill had struck an ancient, unmelting Demon Mountain.
The rebounding force contained not only part of his own attack but also an icy, violent, and Eerie Power that seemed intent on tearing his soul apart.
"Pfft!" Caught off guard, the Flame Soul King spat out a mouthful of blood and was sent flying backward.
He had been struck not only by Lin Jin's attack but also by the rebound of his own power.
He crashed heavily into the Cliff Face and fell to the ground. After getting back up, he spat out another mouthful of blood. The flames around him dimmed, and his Aura instantly weakened.
How is this possible...? Isn't his Martial Soul a blade? What is the Armor covering his entire body?
"Could it be a Twin Martial Soul!?"
Lin Jin naturally did not possess a Twin Martial Soul. The Demon Blade he usually summoned was merely a part of the Demon Armor Martial Soul. Only now was his Demon Armor Martial Soul in its complete state.
Lin Jin was also in bad shape. After all, there was an obvious gap of two realms between them, amounting to a difference of more than twenty levels of Soul Power.
Even with the extreme defense of the Indestructible Demon Body, taking a Soul King's strongest attack head-on had left the blood and qi inside his body churning violently. He was only barely holding on because the Demon Armor covered him.
"Looks like your strength still isn't enough to kill me...ge!" Lin Jin came before the Soul King and looked down at him.
He then raised the Demon Blade and prepared to finish him off, but the man shouted, "An Shang, save me!"
Almost simultaneously, a tremendous wave of Soul Power attacked from behind.
Lin Jin swiftly turned his head and discovered an attack whose figure was nearly impossible to see.
Another Soul King—a Soul Master of the Agile Attack System.
"Fifth Soul Skill, Shadow Instant Kill!"
"I admit I underestimated you, but dreaming of killing me? Hahaha..." Seeing that his companion had attacked—and with a Fifth Soul Skill at that—the Soul King began to laugh viciously.
"Is that so?" Lin Jin turned his head away from the Agile Attack System Soul King's attack and brought down the Demon Blade he had raised.
"No, no... Kill me! You'll die too... Ah!"
Before the man could finish speaking, the Demon Blade swept across his neck.
"Then you'll die first."
"Bang!"
Lin Jin was also struck heavily against the Cliff Face by the Agile Attack System Soul King's attack.
