Boom!
Tang Hao and his brother attacked from the left and right, but Old Xun easily dodged them.
He was indeed a Support Type Soul King. Perhaps he did not possess as many offensive methods as Attack Type or agility-type Soul Kings, but his Soul Power was not much weaker than theirs. In other words, in terms of Soul Power alone, he completely surpassed Yang Dong and the other two.
The strength of his Soul Power not only granted him Soul Ring skills, but also gave him a far more powerful physique.
After dodging the Tang brothers' attacks, he swept out with a kick, sending both brothers flying back even faster than when they had charged in.
Just as Old Xun was about to pursue them, Yang Dong appeared before him with the Immaculate Sword in hand.
Three-Stage Slash!
Soul Power coated the blade, and chilling Sword Qi swept through the forest like a crescent moon slowly rising.
Yang Dong went all out from the very first move!
"Ant!"
Old Xun halted his pursuit. His left hand clenched into a fist, his Second Soul Ring lit up, and he revealed that half-human, half-beast face to Yang Dong.
Intimidation!
For a short time, it drained the opponent's attack power.
Before absolute strength, any flashy technique was useless. Yang Dong was sent flying by a single punch.
"Yang Dong, support us. We'll take the lead in attacking!"
Tang Xiao had already climbed to his feet. He unleashed his Third Soul Skill, Heavenly Jun Tremor, buying Yang Dong a moment to react.
"It's useless, ants. If one of you had advanced to a four-ring Soul Ancestor, perhaps you really could have defeated me. But your Soul Power is too weak. Compared to me, you are meat on the chopping block. Die together!"
Yang Dong ignored him. The instant he landed, the First Soul Ring on his left arm lit up.
An illusory crimson blade-soul magic array descended upon the forest. Centered on Yang Dong, it covered an area fifteen meters in radius. After Yang Dong advanced to Soul Elder, the range of the blade array had increased as well.
Within the array, Tang Xiao and Tang Hao both received boosts to strength and agility. Twenty points of strength and agility were enough to greatly raise their combat power, especially Tang Xiao's.
Already a level thirty-six Soul Elder, with this enhancement, his current combat strength was enough to rival that of a Soul Master who had just entered the Soul Ancestor realm.
"Impressive!"
Feeling the blade soul's enhancement for the first time, Tang Xiao inwardly marveled. This buff was truly terrifying!
"Come and fight!"
With the Haotian Hammer in hand, boundless heroic spirit surged within him. Tang Xiao stepped forward and stood in front of Tang Hao. His First Soul Ring lit up—Strength Amplification.
The Haotian Hammer smashed toward Old Xun with immense force.
"You're courting death!"
Old Xun's expression turned fierce as Soul Power surged through his body. At that moment, he made an exceptionally foolish decision: he chose to take Tang Xiao's blow head-on.
Crack!
The sound of breaking bones rang out sharply. Old Xun let out an involuntary scream. He had never imagined that a Soul Elder could temporarily cripple one of his arms.
But his counterattack was equally vicious. With his other intact arm, he unleashed his only offensive Soul Skill—Claw Strike!
This was the skill attached to his First Soul Ring, a Soul Ring that had only just reached a hundred years.
Splat!
The claw raked mercilessly across Tang Xiao's body, its long talons seeming ready to disembowel him.
"Brother!"
Tang Hao roared, releasing his First and Second Soul Skills together and directly launching the same attack he had used against Yang Dong that day at Old Xun.
"Hm?!"
Old Xun frowned slightly. Tang Xiao's earlier strike had left him with lingering fear, and he no longer dared to casually make contact with the Haotian Hammer.
Left with no choice, he abandoned Tang Xiao, who was already half-dead beneath his Claw Strike, and attacked the oncoming Tang Hao.
Claw Strike!
As a hundred-year Soul Ring skill, the only advantage of this Claw Strike was its extremely short cooldown. Intimidation activated, draining more attack power from Tang Hao. Old Xun rapidly retreated. Though this attack had been launched by only a Great Soul Master, he did not dare gamble with his one remaining arm.
He intended to dodge Tang Hao's attack before launching a counterattack.
One of them had already lost the ability to fight. Once he severely injured this Great Soul Master, would the remaining Support Type Soul Elder not be at his mercy?
The plan was good, but Yang Dong was following close behind Tang Hao.
The Ghost Hand Martial Soul absorbed the power of the Ice Array. Without Yang Dong's Soul Power sustaining it, the Ice Array had shrunk to only five meters across and was now rapidly disappearing.
Release!
As the name implied, it released the Ghost Hand's power.
Thus, after Old Xun dodged Tang Hao's attack, Yang Dong's Ghost Hand was already filled with the Power of Frost.
Three-Stage Slash!
Yang Yu no longer spared his Soul Power, closing in on Old Xun like a bolt of lightning.
They had no choice but to risk everything.
Tang Xiao had traded his life for the injury to one of the opponent's arms. They now had every chance of defeating this Support Type Soul King.
"If you want to die, I'll grant your wish!"
Old Xun smiled cruelly. Did a Support Type Soul Master think he was an Attack Type Soul Master just because he held a sword?
As he spoke, Soul Power condensed around his intact arm. Even without a Soul Skill, he could kill Yang Dong with Soul Power alone!
Leaves scattered across the ground. Old Xun clenched his hand into a fist and viciously smashed it toward Yang Dong's head with surging force.
"Watch out!"
Tang Hao shouted. This attack filled him with dread.
Yang Dong became more and more focused. The sword in his hand traced a perfect arc—three-stage slash, four-stage slash, five-stage directional slash!
The sudden change in direction sent a burst of pain through Yang Dong's body, but it also gave him an opening.
Soul Devour!
Use the Ghost Hand to seize the enemy's head. If the user's strength exceeds the opponent's, the grab will succeed one hundred percent of the time. If it does not, there is a twenty percent chance of success. When activated, grants 1 second of invincibility against opponents of the same level; otherwise, grants 0.5 seconds of invincibility. Each use consumes twenty percent of Soul Power.
The Ghost Hand on his left arm erupted with suction, forcibly attempting to seize Old Xun's head.
"Get lost!"
Old Xun's attack landed on Yang Dong, yet it failed to cause even the slightest injury.
Soul Devour failed, but it triggered the 0.5-second invincibility effect, successfully blocking Old Xun's strike.
This was only the beginning.
Under Yang Dong's control, the Power of Frost attached to the Ghost Hand erupted. Caught off guard, Old Xun was successfully invaded by the Power of Frost. That ice was exceptionally tyrannical, directly freezing him solid.
The Immaculate Sword flashed!
With one strike, his head was severed.
A generation's Soul King had fallen.
