Fists Are Still More Reliable!

Chu Men tapped his foot, his figure drifting away like a falling leaf, dodging the attack with ease.

"Second Soul Skill, Thunder Blade!"

A blue energy blade followed closely, slashing down with practiced precision.

Chu Men sidestepped once more, letting the thunder blade strike the ground behind him and blast out a large crater.

"Fourth Soul Skill, Thunderstorm!"

Seeing that single-target attacks were ineffective, Yu Songtao immediately unleashed an area-of-effect assault.

Soul power condensed rapidly, and countless bolts of lightning descended from the sky, the blinding blue light completely enveloping Chu Men!

Chu Men, however, moved flexibly through the lightning, strolling as if in his own courtyard, handling it with ease!

From time to time, he even issued a taunt:

"I say, did you skip breakfast? No power, no accuracy—how utterly boring!"

Yu Songtao burned with rage and immediately increased the intensity of his soul power output!

The web of lightning grew increasingly dense!

Under Yu Songtao's control, several thick bolts of lightning even began to nimbly track Chu Men.

Chu Men wove through them flexibly, raising his hand every so often to shatter a bolt of lightning.

Far from causing him harm, the lightning transformed into pure soul power that surged into his limbs and bones!

He could not only withstand lightning from a Soul King, but he could also convert it!

Seeing Chu Men dodge the encirclement of lightning time and time again, Yu Songtao grew increasingly anxious, and the intensity of his Thunderstorm surged ever higher.

It felt as if victory were within his grasp!

Yet, caught in the heat of the moment, he failed to realize that Chu Men was actually just toying with him.

A smile appeared on the face of the onlooker, Liu Erlong.

As expected of someone I've trained so hard, his mental fortitude and combat awareness are getting stronger and stronger!

A strong sense of satisfaction filled her heart to the brim!

Especially in front of someone surnamed Yu, this was undoubtedly a way to step all over the other party.

A look of smugness appeared on Liu Erlong's face unconsciously, one she didn't even notice herself.

Yu Zhentian's expression, however, grew increasingly unsightly.

Although Yu Songtao's offensive was fierce and he appeared to have the upper hand, he had failed to inflict any substantial damage, while his soul power consumption was becoming increasingly severe.

The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon martial soul was characterized by high attack, high defense, and high damage, with the lightning even carrying armor-piercing and paralysis effects, but its one weakness was endurance.

After a dozen breaths, Yu Songtao realized this as well.

His attacks couldn't even touch the hem of Chu Men's clothes, and yet Elder Yu Zhentian and Liu Erlong were watching from the sidelines.

He couldn't drag this out any longer!

A Soul King fighting a Soul Ancestor and losing the opening was far too embarrassing!

Hardening his heart, he directly channeled his soul power to activate his only ten-thousand-year soul ring skill—

"Blue Lightning Divine Dragon Rush!"

The black soul ring flickered, and countless streams of liquid lightning poured into Yu Songtao's body, his speed soaring instantly.

Yu Songtao's dragon eyes quickly locked onto Chu Men's figure; with a flash of electricity, he thrust his dragon claws forward.

A blue electric dragon, possessing seven parts of the real thing's majesty, roared toward Chu Men, truly carrying quite a bit of momentum!

"Now that's more like it." Chu Men grinned. "Then this master should get serious too."

"Inversion—Attack Direction!"

Chu Men snapped his fingers crisply, and the Inversion Pen turned into a purple afterimage, precisely tapping the forehead of the electric dragon.

The next second, the electric dragon suddenly turned around in place and charged toward Yu Songtao himself.

"What!"

Yu Songtao's pupils shrank, and he hurriedly tried to dodge, but it was already too late.

The electric dragon slammed heavily into him; although the lightning effect didn't cause him much damage, the immense impact still sent him flying!

Most of the dragon scales on his body shattered.

"Pfft—"

Yu Songtao spat out a mouthful of blood and crashed heavily to the ground.

"How is this possible?!"

Yu Songtao looked at Chu Men in disbelief, unable to fathom the truth.

"What kind of soul skill was that?"

Yet, what greeted him was Chu Men's cheeky voice—

"Guess?"

Before the words even faded, a pitch-black Uzi submachine gun appeared in Chu Men's hands.

Shoot him for a minute first, then talk!

"Rat-tat-tat—"

The muzzle spat out angry tongues of fire, and bullets poured out like raindrops.

Yu Songtao hadn't even reacted before the dragon scales on his body were struck, sending sparks flying everywhere.

The dragon scales, originally tough and resilient, lost their luster; not only were they battered into pits and craters, but blood began to seep out from them intermittently.

"Ah!"

After a miserable shriek, Yu Songtao scrambled up from the ground, using his remaining soul power to struggle to erect a thick shield of dragon scales.

Chu Men was in no rush, tossing out one flashbang after another, followed by concussion grenades.

"Bang! Hum!!"

Following a blinding white light came a deafening noise, instantly stripping Yu Songtao of his senses.

He was now blind, dizzy, and his ears were filled with nothing but a violent ringing.

Seizing the opportunity, Chu Men tossed a high-explosive grenade, which sailed over the dragon scale shield and landed precisely at Yu Songtao's feet.

"Boom!!"

A violent explosion erupted, filling the air with smoke and dust as the shockwave blasted him away once more.

The entire sequence of moves was smooth and fluid.

[Holy crap, using modern firearms against a Soul Master is a dimensional strike!]

[You can't count it like that; the opponent had already exhausted most of his soul power, which is why the bombs were so effective!]

[The streamer is getting stronger and stronger. He might not be able to handle someone on Liu Erlong's level yet, but against a Soul King, he's got it in the bag!]

Like someone who had just finished bullying a child, Chu Men blew the wisps of smoke from the muzzle of his submachine gun and looked over at Liu Erlong and the other two, who had been caught in the crossfire.

He tilted his head slightly in celebration!

Liu Erlong had covered Xiao Wu's ears, while Yu Zhentian had erected a massive protective barrier in front of them.

Just as Chu Men was distracted by his own showing off, Yu Songtao charged over again by force, delivering a simple, unadorned punch like a desperate madman from beneath his damaged dragon scales.

As expected of the world's number one beast martial soul, it really can take a beating!

Seeing this, Chu Men discarded his submachine gun and met him with clenched fists!

Time to test the weight of this Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon.

"Thud, thud, thud..."

Neither of them used soul power; it was fist-to-flesh combat, and they fought to a standstill.

Yu Songtao's punches landed on Chu Men, but not only was he unharmed, Chu Men's muscles and bones actually grew sturdier.

The damage reversal trait was being displayed to its fullest potential against this Soul King of similar standing!

Yu Songtao, however, grew more desperate with every strike.

Because multiple joints and bones had been struck, the strength he could muster grew weaker and weaker, while Chu Men's force grew increasingly fierce.

As one waned, the other waxed.

Before long, Yu Songtao was beaten black and blue, his face swollen like a pig's head!

"I... I surrender!"

Yu Songtao collapsed to the ground, speaking weakly, his voice filled with despair.

Humiliation!

Yu Songtao spat out a broken, bloodied tooth; his blurred vision could only see the soles of Chu Men's shoes.

Forty years of pride had been beaten away in an instant, and the ringing in his ears was actually that one line—

The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon is finished!

Yu Zhentian swept a glance over Yu Songtao's miserable state, the killing intent in his eyes piercing toward Chu Men like a physical blade!

Chu Men, out of consideration for Liu Erlong, stopped his assault and shook out his numb fists, looking down at Yu Songtao from his superior position:

"Wouldn't it have been easier to just surrender early? Why act like a hot-headed fool, representing your pathetic Tyrant Dragon clan, and insisting on getting a sound beating before you're satisfied?"

Yu Songtao's chest heaved violently, and he tried several times to stand, but failed.

Seeing his refusal to submit, Chu Men wondered if he should just cut the weeds and pull up the roots to prevent future trouble...

He failed to notice Yu Zhentian standing to the side, his face deathly pale and the veins on the back of his hands bulging; he was clearly enraged to the extreme.

"How dare you, you brat!"
