"Good, good, good. I hope your mouth can stay this tough in a moment."
"Third Soul Skill: Xuan Ox Prison!"
As his soul ring flashed, Xuanzi moved first to trap Lin Yuan. Though he spoke of torturing him, he knew better.
If Jing Hongchen found an opportunity to come down and support him,
then in his current condition, he would not even last a few exchanges against him.
Those disgusting Soul Engineers were truly infuriating, constantly exploiting distance.
The rocky earth instantly turned into several stone pillars, firmly trapping Lin Yuan within them.
Fourth Soul Skill: Wu-Ji Yin-Yang Earth Escape!
As the fourth soul ring flashed, something that Xuanzi found unbelievable happened once again.
The stone pillars formed by his soul skill actually began to slowly disperse on their own, condensing into a rock wall.
"Impossible! How could a little bastard like you possibly do this?"
Xuanzi spoke with an incredulous expression. If he had been suppressed by the Silver Dragon King, whose martial soul was powerful enough and whose rank was equal to his own, he could barely accept it.
But now, although he was effectively only a pseudo-Titled Douluo, his Soul Power still surpassed Lin Yuan's. Even with Battle Armor, Lin Yuan's Soul Power fluctuations only approached those of a Soul Douluo.
Why could he seize control of his earth attribute instead?
"My bloodline is above yours."
Lin Yuan smiled. As his soul rings flashed, he had already summoned Jitu Earth into a bow and arrow, with Nether Ding Fire coating it.
Jitu Ding Fire Arrow!
It shot straight toward Xuanzi.
Whoosh!
The Nether Ding Fire arrow flew forth!
Feeling its terrifying power, Xuanzi's face darkened to the extreme. Then, as his fourth soul ring flashed—
Taotie Mystic Armor activated!
A thick, earth-yellow beast armor covered his body, greatly enhancing his physical and Soul Power defenses. The Taotie keratin armor could withstand the full-force assault of a Soul Emperor.
Boom!
Amid the explosive roar, Xuanzi was actually forced back two or three steps.
Faint cracks had even appeared across the surface of his Mystic Armor.
"Impossible! This has to be fake!"
"That's right! Is someone definitely helping you from behind the scenes?"
The gap in their Soul Power was still right there. One was, at most, at the peak of Soul Sage, while the other was already at the peak of Soul Douluo, even a pseudo-Titled Douluo.
Why, under his control of Soul Power, could he not dissolve this attribute fusion skill?
At this moment, Xuanzi could only deceive himself into believing that someone was secretly assisting Lin Yuan.
Lin Yuan could not be bothered to answer. Talking to a Shrek madman like him was simply a waste of time.
"I can't be bothered to reason with you. You don't deserve to hear it!"
As his soul rings flashed, Nine Nether Kui Water instantly fused with Yimu Vines and coiled upward.
"Yimu Kui Water Spear!"
As Lin Yuan suddenly hurled his spear, the suppression of Soul Power by the Kui Water, coupled with Yimu's unique binding force,
made Xuanzi's expression turn exceptionally ugly. In the end, he could only grit his teeth as his sixth soul ring flashed.
Sixth Soul Skill: Heaven Mending!
A crystalline earth-yellow light barrier spread out. This was one of his most unbreakable moves; it could even defend against spatial abilities.
Yet under the dual corrosion of Yimu and Kui Water, it seemed to be showing faint signs of instability.
"Fifth Soul Skill: Gengxin Yin-Yang Metal Escape!"
"Qilin Gengxin Blade!"
Casually condensing a Geng Metal sword, Lin Chen's figure had already rushed before Xuanzi and slashed directly at the Heaven Mending barrier.
The sharpness of Geng Metal could pierce anything!
With a crisp crack, the Heaven Mending barrier was actually being dissolved bit by bit?!
This left Xuanzi completely bewildered, and he hurriedly poured Soul Power into it.
Under the forced infusion of Soul Power, the barrier seemed to show signs of being replenished. At the same time, Xuanzi gathered his Soul Power.
But in the next second, just as Xuanzi's Heaven Mending barrier finally shattered, the Qilin Umbrella descended upon him.
Xuanzi raised his arms to block it, but beneath the twin Geng Metal slashes,
two obvious bloody cuts appeared on his arms. He could not help but let out a muffled groan, and his Soul Power circulation actually fell into disarray.
This was precisely the effect brought by Xin Metal. It could seal the opponent's Soul Power circulation for a short time, even preventing them from using any soul skill for a second.
For the current Lin Yuan, that was already more than enough time.
Watching the battle unfold from beginning to end, Xuanzi had originally held the upper hand, yet Lin Yuan had instead seized the initiative.
Furious beyond measure, hatred churned within Xuanzi as old scenes flashed through his mind. It was because of Lin Yuan that he had lost everything. Even if he died, he would drag him down to hell with him. He did not have much time left to live anyway.
Was he going to be killed by someone of a lower rank, and by the little bastard he hated most?
No! Absolutely not! Even if losing everything no longer mattered.
Driven by that conviction, Xuanzi finally let out a furious roar.
"Roar!"
In the next moment, as a blood mist spread around Xuanzi, he began burning his essence blood once more.
The injuries he had suffered earlier were forcibly suppressed to some extent, and at last, in this moment, he crossed the threshold of a Titled Douluo once again.
He possessed the strength of a Titled Douluo.
"Don't worry. I'll let you choose your place down below in advance."
As his terrifying Soul Power fluctuations erupted, the earth in every direction trembled.
Xuanzi raised his hand. As his soul ring flashed, he unleashed his fifth soul skill: Taotie Trample!
Taotie divine power gathered beneath his foot before he stomped down, unleashing a wide-range ground-shattering shockwave.
Even the mountain peak trembled faintly, as though the next stomp would shatter the entire mountain.
The earth-yellow shockwave swept toward Lin Yuan, almost impossible to evade.
It came from every direction.
Xuanzi's figure also nearly turned and arrived before Lin Yuan. Having burned his essence blood, he naturally had no intention of allowing Lin Yuan to live.
He himself did not have much life left anyway. As for Lin Yuan, he merely let out a soft sigh.
Facing the shockwave capable of destroying everything, he raised his hand and condensed a rock wall.
"Behemoth Claw!"
The instant those five bronze glimmers shone, they tore through space for a moment, causing heaven and earth to change color.
This forced Xuanzi, who had intended to follow up with a heavy punch,
to pull back.
Rumble!!
Under that terrifying claw strike, Xuanzi's soul skill was instantly shattered.
After pulling back, he discovered that five faint bloody marks had actually appeared on his chest.
Damn it, he was a Titled Douluo!?
What the hell was this thing?
Why did the thing in this little bastard's hand make him feel as though his bloodline was being suppressed?!
"Darkgolden Terrorclaw... no, a Darkgolden Terrorclaw Bear could not reach this level. Could it be the legendary Behemoth? Didn't those things go extinct in ancient times?"
Xuanzi's fury seemed to abruptly turn calm, as though he had witnessed something utterly incomprehensible.
"You've got a decent eye."
"But I'm rather curious—how long can the power you gained through external means last?"
Lin Yuan looked at Xuanzi indifferently as he spoke, nearly making Xuanzi explode with rage. Those were supposed to be his words!
