Three Spears Break Through the Defense
Niu Gao arrived at the center of the hall and immediately released his Martial Soul: Plated Giant Rhino. His originally broad body expanded instantly, his skin gradually turned black, and a thick layer of keratin appeared.
Yellow, purple, purple, black, black, Eight Soul Rings flashed continuously beneath his feet, and Soul Power formed a protective shield around him. He looked at Jun Xuehan with a relaxed expression.
"Alas, Sect Master, you are still too young. In terms of defense alone, even among the Elephant Armored Sect of the Lower Four Sects, I might not be able to defeat the Old Rhino." Yang Wudi sighed upon seeing this.
Yang Wushuang nodded in agreement, then shook her head slightly, as if she didn't want to see Jun Xuehan.
Jun Xuehan stood up, not paying any attention, and went straight to Niu Gao. His Martial Soul, the Silver Dragon Spear, appeared in his hand, with four Soul Ring— one yellow, two purple, and one black—emerging beneath his feet.
"One yellow, two purple, one black, Four-Ring Soul Ancestor. How old are you this year, kid?" Niu Gao looked at Jun Xuehan's Soul Ring Configuration with surprise on his face.
"He'll be thirteen in a few months," Jun Xuehan replied calmly, her gaze sweeping over the protective barrier surrounding Niu Gao.
Jun Xuehan had no intention of directly using the Super Divine Artifact: the Reverse Scale God Slaying Spear. The reason was simple: she wanted to give Niu Gao face.
Regardless of the circumstances, Niu Gao is the patriarch of the Defense Clan, and the Defense Clan excels at defense. If someone were to use defense to break through Niu Gao's defenses in one strike, Niu Gao would certainly not look good.
The third strike, which broke through Niu Gao's defenses, was certainly more impressive than the first strike.
"A twelve-year-old Soul Ancestor, I must say, this is the first time I've ever seen your Soul Ring Configuration." Niu Gao exclaimed in admiration, then waited for Jun Xuehan's attack.
Jun Xuehan may be highly talented, but Niu Gao is determined to obtain those six high-quality Soul Bone.
Jun Xuehan looked at Niu Gao, and with a slight tremor of her Silver Dragon Spear, blossoms of spear flowers bloomed on the tip of the spear as she thrust it straight at Niu Gao.
"You think you can break through my Soul Power defense without even using Soul Skill? How arrogant." Niu Gao chuckled, completely ignoring Jun Xuehan's attack.
The Silver Dragon Spear collided with the Soul Power shield, and the attack was easily blocked without any doubt.
Jun Xuehan's fourth Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring under her feet began to flash rapidly, and her Soul Power was injected into the Reverse Scale Dragon Ring, causing tiny dragon scales to quickly cover her arm.
Dark Attribute converged within the Silver Dragon Spear, and due to the Reverse Scale Dragon Ring, the converged Dark Attribute were amplified by 100% in an instant.
As Super Divine Artifact, the Reverse Scale Dragon Ring is mainly used to restrain the Reverse Scale God Slaying Spear, but its Buff Attributes and extremely high defensive capabilities are also not to be ignored.
It's just that Jun Xuehan rarely uses it. Among the younger generation, there are basically no ones who can make him use the Super Divine Artifact. The only time he used it was on Little Tang San.
A spear formed from Dark Attribute shot out from the Silver Dragon Spear.
Fourth Soul Skill: Dark Annihilation!
The spear, formed from the convergence of Dark Attribute, pierced Niu Gao's Soul Power shield. The shield only trembled slightly before returning to calm.
"Not bad, not bad, the attack power of your Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Skill is very strong. If I were Soul Ancestor like you, I would have no chance of defending against this attack. It's a pity that the difference in our Soul Power is too great." Niu Gao praised, but the smile on his face became more and more obvious.
According to Niu Gao's estimation, this ten-thousand-year-old Soul Power should be his strongest attack. However, it only caused his Soul Power shield to tremble slightly; breaking through his Soul Power shield was simply impossible.
"Senior Niu Gao, be careful," Jun Xuehan said softly before retracting her martial Martial Soul.
"What do you mean? Are you planning to give up entirely?" Niu Gao looked at Jun Xuehan's action of putting away his Martial Soul, his eyes full of astonishment and confusion.
Yang Wudi and Yang Wushuang were in the same boat, somewhat confused about what Jun Xuehan was planning to do.
Under everyone's watchful eyes, a silver spear remarkably similar to the Silver Dragon Spear appeared in Jun Xuehan's hand. She wielded the spear, creating a flurry of spear flowers and shadows in mid-air.
"This... this is Self-Created Soul Skill!" Yang Wudi stared at the trajectory of Jun Xuehan's silver spear, his eyes filled with astonishment.
"Self-Created Soul Skill! This must be the source of the Pavilion Master's confidence in betting against the Old Rhino." Yang Wushuang nodded slightly at Yang Wudi's words, speaking with some uncertainty.
Seeing this, Niu Gao remained unconcerned, standing motionless and quietly awaiting the attack. He had even already mentally planned the allocation of the six Soul Bones.
"Ninety-Nine Return to One, execution by firing squad: blood will flow like a river!"
The technique of "Ninety-Nine Return to One" – constantly accumulating power and layering attack strength – was something he learned when he created the Dragon Spear Wind and Rain at the age of six. However, due to the long charging time, he rarely used it.
After all, in a normal battle between Soul Master, who would give you so much time to charge up and stack attacks? And why bother charging up when a single shot could solve the problem?
However, this kind of charged-up, layered attack, combined with the pure attack of the gunshot technique: Blood River, the burst of attack power is increased linearly.
Moreover, what Jun Xuehan held in her hand was not the Martial Soul Silver Dragon Spear, but the Super Divine Artifact: the Reverse Scale God Slaying Spear! As the Reverse Scale God Slaying Spear was thrust out, Yang Wudi, Yang Wushuang, and Niu Gao could all feel the terrifying attack power that erupted from the Reverse Scale God Slaying Spear.
Just as Yang Wudi was about to speak up to remind him, he saw the Soul Ring under Niu Gao's feet light up one after another, releasing a series of Soul Skill at his fastest speed.
In the blink of an eye, Niu Gao's imposing body stood firm, as if it had transformed into a fortress. As for the agreement before the bet that it wasn't Soul Skill, forget about it; face and such were definitely not as important as life.
Niu Gao was absolutely certain that the protective shield he had formed with his Soul Power would not be able to withstand the thrusting spear.
The powerful attack force unleashed by the Reverse Scale God Slaying Spear instantly shattered the outermost Soul Power shield, then pierced through one Soul Skill defense after another, stopping less than a few millimeters away from Niu Gao.
The sharp spear tip, seemingly capable of piercing everything, caused Niu Gao to feel Sisi stinging pain where the spear tip was pointing at his body.
"Senior Niu Gao, you have breached the contract. It seems I won this bet, right?" Jun Xuehan put away the Reverse Scale God Slaying Spear and the Reverse Scale Dragon Ring in her hand and asked softly.
"Ahem, Old Rhino, you have indeed breached the contract. The Pavilion Master didn't use any Soul Skill to break through the defense, but you used four Soul Skills." Yang Wudi coughed and said to Niu Gao.
