Golden Dragon Power Overwhelms Xuan Zi!
Whoosh!
The instant a dense swarm of undead Corpse Puppets appeared, Gu Quan's scalp prickled. An ominous feeling suddenly welled up in his heart.
Fang Yuan's scalp prickled too. Neither of them was seeing this for the first time.
They both knew what Huo Yuhao intended to do.
"No, don't! Boss, not this!"
"Saint Son, we're on your side! Don't do it!"
"We're still here!"
Huo Yuhao's eyes were bloodshot, his face wild.
"You're all forcing me, aren't you?"
"You all want me dead, don't you?"
"Undead Explosion! Explode! All of you, explode!"
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!
The instant Huo Yuhao's words fell, the foreheads of over a thousand undead Corpse Puppets lit up with dazzling gray Undead Marks. Their bodies swelled beyond their control, and the Soul Power within them erupted, burning...
Hum! Hum! BOOM!
In the next instant, explosions rang out across the White Tiger Duke's Mansion. The entire estate was swallowed by their terrifying roar.
The White Tiger Duke's Mansion was flattened in an instant.
Amid the explosions, Fang Yuan decisively crushed Little Cicada in his hand and fled at top speed with Gu Quan.
At the heart of the blast, dazzling green light flashed. Ultimate Ice enveloped Huo Yuhao's body and back, and his four-hundred-thousand-year Ferocious Beast Soul Ring shone.
"Ice Emperor's Protection!"
The Corpse Explosions of a thousand Soul Kings, dozens of Soul Emperors, several Soul Saints, and two Soul Douluo erupted among a group led by Xuan Zi that included several Super Douluo and more than ten Titled Douluo.
In an instant, every Soul Master below Titled Douluo among Shrek and the Three Great Empires was gravely wounded. Almost everyone below Soul Saint died.
The Soul Saints suffered devastating injuries and lost the ability to fight. Even some Soul Douluo were gravely wounded.
The Corpse Explosions killed over a hundred Soul Emperors and more than fifty Soul Saints. Though Xuan Zi and the other Super Douluo and Titled Douluo did everything they could to block the blasts, they could not prevent the losses suffered by the four factions.
"Heh... Hahaha!"
"Feels good! So good!"
"Fight me! Come on!"
Huo Yuhao stood bare-chested and drenched in blood. A massive Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion Martial Soul mark glowed on his back, and the aura of a peak Level 59 Soul King burst from his body.
Make no mistake: thanks to his Ferocious Beast protective Soul Skill, Huo Yuhao had not grievously injured himself as he had the first time he detonated over a thousand undead Corpse Puppets. The blood belonged to other people and to the Corpse Puppets blown apart in the blasts.
Only one undead Corpse Puppet remained before him: the White Tiger Title Douluo's Corpse Puppet.
Wanhun's Corpse Puppet had self-destructed when Huo Yuhao killed the White Tiger Title Douluo, taking its target down with it.
"Huo Yuhao!"
"Damn it! He's traded himself for so many of us and still won't abandon his bloodlust. We have to seize him now!"
"Move!"
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!
At Xuan Zi's command, Shrek's Super Douluo, the Star Luo Empire's Super Douluo, and the Titled Douluo of Heaven Dou and the Dou Ling Empire attacked Huo Yuhao without another moment's hesitation.
"Shrek! Three Great Empires! Don't you dare harm our Undead Saint Son!"
Seeing the Titled Douluo of Shrek and the Three Great Empires cast aside all dignity to capture Huo Yuhao, Zhongli Wu and the Holy Spirit Cult Elders and Consecrators hidden around the White Tiger Duke's Mansion could no longer stand by.
Although the Holy Spirit Cult had sent out all its Elders and Consecrators, they were still outnumbered by the Titled Douluo of Shrek and the Three Great Empires.
Nearly ten Super Douluo and ten Titled Douluo threw themselves into stopping Shrek and the Three Great Empires.
But with such an overwhelming difference in numbers, the Holy Spirit Cult's Titled Douluo could not possibly hold back nearly forty Titled Douluo.
Xuan Zi broke through the Holy Spirit Cult's encirclement and lunged for Huo Yuhao.
"Huo Yuhao! You betrayed Shrek, killed all these people, and still haven't had your fill of killing!"
"Do you truly mean to sink into becoming an Evil Soul Master?"
"Today, you couldn't escape even if you grew wings! I will drag you back to Shrek, where the Sea God Pavilion's harshest judgment awaits you!"
A massive hand reached for Huo Yuhao. It belonged to Taotie Douluo Xuan Zi, a peak Level 98 Super Douluo.
Huo Yuhao showed no fear. His eyes were bloodshot, his face wild.
"I'm sick of your nonsense. Stop talking down to me. If you want a fight, then come!"
As soon as he spoke, Huo Yuhao waved his hand without hesitation.
The gray mark on his last Titled Undead's forehead blazed, and it shot forward.
Just as Xuan Zi was about to seize it, terrifying Soul Power surged through the Titled Undead's body. It swelled, and the Soul Core in its dantian—a power unique to a Titled Douluo—released a horrifying wave of Soul Power. Cracks spread across it in an instant.
"Titled Undead... explode!"
Hum—BOOM!
A small mushroom cloud rose in the next instant. At its center, Xuan Zi's pupils contracted sharply. His right hand went numb, the Soul Power within him shook, and he spat a mouthful of blood.
The Titled Undead contained all the Soul Power and even the soul of a Titled Douluo, and Huo Yuhao had blown it all up. Forget a Titled Douluo—even an ordinary Super Douluo would have been forced into a one-for-one trade.
Had Xuan Zi not possessed a Super Martial Soul, stood at the peak of the Super Douluo rank, and carried a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring, that blast would have gravely wounded him or even taken him down with it.
Even so, Xuan Zi was badly hurt. His eyes reddened, and his Martial Soul Avatar was forced out.
"Cough, cough!"
Huo Yuhao coughed violently and looked at the empty space around him. Just two rounds of Corpse Explosions had exhausted everything he had built up. Every undead and every Corpse Puppet was gone, while Xuan Zi had suffered little more than injuries.
He had no trump cards left.
He raised his head. His gaze drifted toward the corpses of the hundred-plus Soul Emperors and fifty-plus Soul Saints he had killed in the first blast.
His Second Martial Soul flew straight out of his body.
"Undead Summoning!"
"I won't lose. I absolutely won't lose!"
An enormous Soul Body emerged behind Huo Yuhao. With a mere lift of its hand, a hundred Soul Emperors and over fifty Soul Saints nearby slowly rose to their feet in grotesque poses. Their targets were unmistakable.
They were the hundred-plus Soul Douluo brought by Shrek and the Three Great Empires.
If Huo Yuhao gained control of them and detonated the corpses of more than a hundred Soul Douluo, every Titled Douluo present who ranked below Super Douluo would be blown to death.
"No! Xuan Zi, we can't let Huo Yuhao set off another blast! The Corpse Explosions of Soul Emperors and Soul Saints can devastate Soul Douluo. If Soul Douluo corpses explode... even Titled Douluo could fall!"
"Stop Huo Yuhao!"
"We cannot let him use Corpse Explosion again!"
Xuan Zi panicked at those words. His eyes turned bloodred, and his Martial Soul erupted with a fierce radiance. Taking on his Godly Taotie Bull avatar, he reached for Huo Yuhao.
"Taotie Power!"
"Huo Yuhao, you... stop!"
Just as Huo Yuhao finished turning the corpses into undead and prepared to detonate them, Xuan Zi's hand swept toward him.
"Come on, then! Come on!"
"You think I'm afraid of you?"
Golden light flickered in Huo Yuhao's eyes. His blood boiled in an instant, golden dragon scales sprang across his body, and his right hand transformed into a Golden Dragon Claw.
"Golden Dragon Burst: Golden Dragon Claw!"
The instant Xuan Zi's hand met Huo Yuhao's, a terrifying force swept across the entire battlefield.
Crack!
Xuan Zi clearly heard the bones in his right arm shift out of place. His Martial Soul was completely suppressed, and his Super Douluo strength was canceled out. Terror showed on his face.
"How is this possible? How?"
"You're only a Soul King! How could you escape my grasp?"
Huo Yuhao felt the Soul Power and vitality in his body drain away in an instant.
Damn it. I can't hold on...
Chirp, chirp, chirp!
Just then, an unusual cicada song rang out.
"Time Reversal!"
A ray of light fell on Huo Yuhao. He felt his condition return to its peak in an instant.
His depleted Soul Power and exhausted vitality were replenished at once.
"Boss, I'm here to help!"
Huo Yuhao turned and saw Fang Yuan and Gu Quan watching him anxiously.
"Good! Good! Good! Golden Dragon Claw!"
Roar!
Huo Yuhao's Golden Dragon Bloodline ignited completely. A Golden Dragon roared forth and swallowed Xuan Zi in an instant, driving his Martial Soul back with crushing force.
Huo Yuhao's Soul Power was spent once more, and his vitality was drained.
He had clashed head-on with Xuan Zi, a peak Super Douluo, and overwhelmed him. But it had taken two successive eruptions of his bloodline to do it.
"Damn it. If only I'd drawn the Dragon God's Power, I could have crushed you like an ant with one hand!"
Huo Yuhao had no better option. He had never been a strength-type Soul Master, and his body had always been weaker than those of Soul Masters at the same level. Only his Spiritual Power stood out.
If Tang Wulin were here, he could probably fight Xuan Zi to a draw, or even use the Dragon God's Power to grievously wound him.
When the scene appeared on the Heavenly Screen, the Three Realms Sky Screen erupted.
"What the hell? Is this a joke?"
"Xuan Zi has Level 98 Soul Power and stands at the peak of Super Douluo, yet he can't even take down a Soul King?"
"If Huo Yuhao escapes Xuan Zi as a Soul King, I'll seriously suspect Xuan Zi is the Holy Spirit Cult's supreme Elder!"
The Douluo III Era, during Legend of the Dragon King.
Tang Wulin was facing a situation much like Huo Yuhao's, though his side had far more Titled Douluo.
Standing before an Evil Soul Master at the Soul Saint rank, Tang Wulin saw Huo Yuhao overpower the Super Douluo Xuan Zi with the Golden Dragon King's Power. Inspiration flashed through his mind, and a bold idea took shape.
"Dragon God's Power!"
Tang Wulin unleashed the full force of his bloodline. Two Golden Soul Rings shone, and his Golden Dragon Claw struck at the Evil Soul Master!
Riiip!
Under the Evil Soul Master's horrified gaze, the Dragon God's Power surging through the Golden Dragon Claw tore him apart with a single swipe.
Tang Wulin's Soul Power and vitality drained away in that instant, and he collapsed heavily to the ground.
"Boss!"
Xie Xie and the others hurried over.
Lying on the ground, Tang Wulin found himself recalling something Huo Yuhao had said.
"You have no idea what your power can do."
A rueful smile touched Tang Wulin's lips.
"So... I really am this strong. So... they really are this weak. One swipe really can kill someone!"
