Qian Xunji VS Light Feather Douluo

Qian Xunji VS Light Feather Douluo

Veins bulged on Qian Daoliu's forehead. The son he had raised was absolutely trying to anger him to death. What did he mean, "It was one thing that you couldn't beat Tang Chen"? He possessed the god-tier Six-Winged Angel martial soul, yet he had failed to defeat the top-tier Clear Sky Hammer. That was already a disgrace to the Six-Winged Angel—an utterly humiliating loss!

Qian Xunji was not worried in the slightest. He had even brought up the line, "Surely I can't lose to Tang Hao, who's a generation younger than me?" Why would he need to fear Qian Daoliu's opposition? The inheritor of the Six-Winged Angel was the Angel God's representative in the mortal world. Qian Daoliu went on and on about his faith in the Angel God every day—could he really stand by and watch the Angel God be disgraced? Qian Xunji had long since pinpointed the old man's weak spot. Handling him was no problem at all.

"Light Feather! Teach this brat a proper lesson! Don't hold back!"

Qian Daoliu sent a voice transmission into a cultivation chamber within the Worship Hall. Light Feather Douluo awoke from his cultivation, arrived in the hall, and rubbed his head, his face full of confusion. "What happened, Great Elder? Your Holiness, how did you anger the Great Elder again?"

Qian Xunji cupped his hands. "Fifth Uncle, my hands have been itching lately, and I wanted someone to spar with, so I came to the Worship Hall."

"Not bad, Your Holiness. You've risen another rank in just two years. But there's a full two-rank gap between us. This old man is a level 96 Super Douluo. Are you sure you want to spar with me?"

Light Feather Douluo raised a brow. How great was the gap between level 94 and level 96? Sword Douluo, a Soul Master with no soul bones, had no standing to comment on it at all. A level 96 Titled Douluo was enough to contend against two level 95 Titled Douluos of equal caliber.

"That's right."

Qian Xunji naturally knew what Light Feather Douluo was thinking. But the quality of his martial soul and his soul ring configuration were the absolute best in the eyes of ordinary Soul Masters, and he also possessed a domain. He felt that he at least had to challenge someone two ranks above him; otherwise, he would be letting down his own setup.

"Fine, then."

With his hands behind his back, Light Feather Douluo led Qian Xunji through a side entrance of the Worship Hall to the mountain behind it. They arrived at an extremely open area with a radius of two hundred meters. The entire place was made of granite, and countless marks from past battles covered its surface. This was likely where the elders of the Worship Hall often sparred.

However, most battles between Titled Douluos took place in midair. Otherwise, this small granite arena would never be enough for powerhouses like Super Douluos to wreak havoc in.

On the dueling grounds.

Qian Xunji and Light Feather Douluo both summoned their martial souls: the Six-Winged Angel and the Light Feather Divine Bow.

Light Feather Douluo raised the Light Feather Divine Bow and aimed it at Qian Xunji. The bowstring twanged, then lowered. "Your Holiness, as your elder, I'll let you make the first move."

"Then I won't stand on ceremony."

Just as Qian Xunji was about to attack, he suddenly sensed danger. He sharply tilted his head, and a bloody gash appeared across his cheek.

"Silent Arrow? Fifth Uncle, you—"

"All's fair in war, Your Holiness. You saw this old man draw the string. How could I possibly not have attacked?"

Light Feather Douluo smiled. At some point, he had raised his left hand, and a thumb-sized crystalline ice arrow spun between his fingers.

"Your Holiness, get serious. This old man won't go easy on you."

Earlier, Qian Daoliu had sent Light Feather Douluo a voice transmission, forbidding him from holding back. Otherwise, Qian Daoliu would personally spar with him.

Qian Daoliu's warning clearly came because Qian Xunji's words had left him unsettled. If Qian Xunji truly lost to Tang Hao, who was a generation younger, then the Six-Winged Angel would be utterly disgraced.

"Fine."

Angel Spirit Power gathered around Qian Xunji's face, healing the injury on his cheek. The fifth soul ring beneath his feet lit up, and flames condensed into a sacred sword that fell into his hand—the Sacred Sword.

"Then Fifth Uncle, you'd best be careful."

Qian Xunji flicked his wrist and swung the Sacred Sword. As the sword danced through the air, golden sword trails appeared in midair, radiating an intensely searing heat.

"This is... Seven Kill Swordplay? No, it's merely pure flame. That boy Xunji has some ideas."

Within the Worship Hall, Qian Daoliu spread out his Spiritual Power as he observed the battle. With the eyesight of a Limit Douluo, he saw through Qian Xunji's method at a glance.

Qian Xunji had transmigrated midway through life. He could practice swordplay, but gaining the same understanding of the sword as Sword Douluo was simply impossible. It was not only because he lacked the time; his mind was also too cluttered, and he lacked sufficient focus. Thus, he changed his approach and used flames as a substitute.

"Fifth Uncle, take this."

Qian Xunji used sacred flames to form the character for heaven, then swiftly swung his sword, slashing out several streaks of golden sword qi. These sword qi were not particularly powerful, but they were incredibly fast, carrying searing flames as they slashed toward Light Feather Douluo.

"Good! First Soul Skill, Ice Burst!"

The first soul ring beneath Light Feather's feet lit up, and an icy-blue arrow shot forth. The instant it collided with the flaming sword qi, the icy-blue arrow exploded. Ice fragments scattered everywhere, freezing any energy construct they touched.

Light Feather Douluo's first soul skill was considered a control-type soul skill, primarily used to freeze and restrict an opponent's movements, though it could also attack. Qian Xunji's Angel Flame and sword qi were both covered in ice. With that layer of ice acting as a barrier, they would not hurt much when striking a Soul Master.

Facing the frozen flames and sword qi, Light Feather Douluo merely formed a shield from Soul Power and easily deflected them. His fingers repeatedly pulled the bowstring, and in the blink of an eye, several arrows shot toward Qian Xunji.

These arrows were controlled by Light Feather Douluo's Spiritual Power and could curve slightly through the air. After all, even a Titled Douluo had limited Spiritual Power.

Yet no matter how they curved, they had only one target. Qian Xunji beat his wings and dodged the arrows.

"High Explosive Penetration!"

One of Light Feather Douluo's soul rings suddenly lit up. He drew the bowstring, and an incredibly swift, unavoidable arrow shot toward Qian Xunji. Qian Xunji immediately swung his sword to block it. As the blade collided with the arrow, astonishing force surged through the Sacred Sword.

Qian Xunji's arm and the Sacred Sword trembled slightly. A notch the size of half a pinky finger had appeared on the blade.

"Fifth Soul Skill, Unparalleled Pinnacle."

Seizing the opportunity, Light Feather Douluo's fifth soul ring immediately lit up. His left eye, covered in ice crystals, opened, and dozens of icy-blue arrows shot simultaneously from the Light Feather Divine Bow. Like living things, they flew at Qian Xunji from every direction at once.

"Angel Domain."

Qian Xunji immediately activated his domain. The golden domain enveloped the dozens of flying arrows. Under the sacred power contained within the Angel Domain, the icy-blue arrows slowed severalfold before being purified one after another.

After purifying Unparalleled Pinnacle, Qian Xunji narrowed his eyes. Could it be that without using his domain, the Angel Domain supported by a 100,000 Year Soul Ring configuration truly could not overcome a level 96 Titled Douluo?

No. Domains could only be countered with domains. Domains carried by top-tier martial souls, as well as Divine Slaughter's Domain, could all stand against the Angel Domain. Therefore, the problem was not with the domain.

The Six-Winged Angel had no weaknesses in its overall attributes. As long as he used it properly, he could defeat any martial soul. The Light Feather Divine Bow's offensive power was in no way inferior to the Six-Winged Angel's, and it was a ranged weapon as well.

Light Feather Douluo's cultivation was two ranks higher than mine. If I want to defeat him without using my domain, I have to find the Light Feather Divine Bow's weakness. And that weakness is that it offers no martial soul protection—Light Feather Douluo himself has frail defenses!

"Your Holiness, why did you dismiss your Angel Domain?"

Light Feather Douluo was somewhat puzzled when Qian Xunji dispelled his domain after neutralizing Unparalleled Pinnacle.

Qian Xunji smiled faintly. "Because I can defeat Fifth Uncle without using my domain. Fifth Uncle, get ready."
