Picking Up Fragments on Douluo Continent Chapter 44

But their opponent was alive. Why would he give them such an opportunity?

Therefore, the tall Soul Master did not pay much attention to Lu Feng using the Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer.

As the saying went, iron had to be hard before it could be forged.

When a Soul Master used the Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer, he would also suffer from the recoil. This brat was only a two-ring Soul Grandmaster. Could his physical strength possibly surpass that of a Soul Ancestor?

Thus, the tall Soul Master merely took Lu Feng's actions as a dying struggle.

"Hmph, let me test you today and see whether this so-called number one Tool Martial Soul truly lives up to its name!"

With that said, the tall Soul Master swung his dog claws and viciously struck at Lu Feng's chest.

Chapter 61: Chaotic Cape Dance

Bang!

A violent collision rang out, and Lu Feng's body was sent flying once more, just as expected.

"Brat, the power of your Clear Sky Hammer seems rather lacking," the tall Soul Master mocked.

Although he was taunting him, he did not relax in the slightest.

A disciple of the Clear Sky Sect might have some life-saving method up his sleeve. The shadow cast by that earlier explosion still lingered in his heart.

Only by going all out and smashing his opponent's head apart could he truly relax.

The tall Soul Master suddenly accelerated. A layer of light gleamed over his sharp claws, while his second Soul Ring lit up brightly.

"Second Soul Skill: Triple Thrust!"

This move not only enhanced his Attack Power, but also came with a certain displacement effect.

It consisted of three attacks. Every strike could further increase Attack Power by 10%, and with its short-range thrusting variations, it was exceptionally flexible. If an ordinary Soul Master was approached by him, even if he did not die, he would be stripped of a layer of skin.

After fighting the Yellow Family Three Freaks, Lu Feng had continuously refined his attack methods through battle.

Lu Feng had many combat skills and many Martial Souls.

That was his advantage.

How to combine those advantages to defeat his enemies was what Lu Feng had thought about most.

Just as the dog claws were about to reach him, Lu Feng's body strangely retreated a meter, causing the full-force strike of the dog claws to miss.

At the same time, Lu Feng's Clear Sky Hammer swung from behind him to the front, smashing head-on into the dog claws that shone with fierce wind energy.

Amid a thunderous boom, a powerful shockwave suddenly erupted.

Third hammer!

This hammer marked Lu Feng's counterattack.

Unfortunately, the tall Soul Master's Soul Power was too strong. Otherwise, Lu Feng could have shattered his dog claws with a single blow.

"Hm? That Teleportation skill again?" A trace of gravity flashed through the tall Soul Master's eyes.

The next moment, a gleam suddenly lit up in his eyes.

Just now, he had caught sight of Lu Feng's Soul Rings and discovered that Lu Feng had not used a Soul Skill.

That meant—

The tall Soul Master immediately felt his whole body heat up. Unconcealed greed flickered in his gaze as he looked at Lu Feng.

This brat had a Soul Bone!

A Soul Grandmaster actually possessed a Soul Bone!

And it even had the rare Teleportation skill!

At that thought, the tall Soul Master's desire to kill Lu Feng deepened further.

Whoosh!

The tall Soul Master instantly retreated a step, widening the distance between himself and Lu Feng.

This was the strength of his second Soul Skill. Not only could it attack, it could also retreat using its displacement effect, allowing him to keep the rhythm of battle firmly in his own hands.

Of course, the tall Soul Master was not planning to retreat. He was gathering strength.

That previous strike had already allowed Lu Feng to suppress him, causing him to lose the initiative.

After this displacement, the third stage of his Soul Skill had already risen to 130% power. His next attack would be the moment of his opponent's death.

Lu Feng did not stop swinging his hammer.

Taking advantage of the instant the tall Soul Master retreated, Lu Feng continuously swung the Clear Sky Hammer to build momentum.

Fourth hammer.

Fifth hammer.

By the time the tall Soul Master charged forward again, what greeted him was already Lu Feng's sixth hammer.

The expected sound of collision did not ring out. Just as the dog claws were about to rip open Lu Feng's abdomen, his body strangely shifted a meter to the right, forcibly evading that fatal attack.

"What? How is that possible?"

The tall Soul Master froze slightly because of Lu Feng's sudden shift.

He could not understand how Lu Feng had done it.

As everyone knew, Soul Bones were powerful and could directly provide a skill. However, under normal circumstances, there was an interval between uses of a Soul Bone Skill.

If used consecutively, the first to suffer backlash would be the Soul Bone's owner.

Bang!

A violent impact sounded out. The tall Soul Master felt an intense pain shoot through his left shoulder, making him bare his teeth in agony.

Seventh hammer.

"No, something is strange about this brat!" Under the intense pain, the tall Soul Master instantly regained his composure.

As Dai Weisi's confidant, the tall Soul Master's strength, temperament, and insight were beyond question.

He had merely been blinded by hatred and the temptation of the Soul Bone just now.

Now that he had calmed down and recalled Lu Feng's fighting style, he suddenly realized that although he appeared to hold the initiative, he had actually fallen into his opponent's trap from the very beginning.

From the moment Lu Feng opened his mouth.

"This brat has been guiding me into clashing with him head-on!" The tall Soul Master instantly realized inwardly.

"He's only a two-ring Soul Grandmaster. What gives him the confidence to clash with me head-on?"

"His Martial Soul is the Clear Sky Hammer, yet he has not used any Soul Skills. Instead, he directly used the Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer. That means, in his mind, this is already his strongest method. He is absolutely confident that he can defeat me with one hammer strike."

"The Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer requires continuous momentum-building and can easily be interrupted, yet this brat has a Soul Bone with a displacement skill—"

"No, what he used definitely isn't a Soul Bone, but a Self-Created Soul Skill!!!"

"The Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer combined with a self-created movement skill, continuously building momentum before defeating the enemy in one strike. If I keep clashing head-on with him, I'm afraid I really won't be able to withstand the final strike of those 'Eighty-One Hammers'!"

"Retreat!"

The tall Soul Master instantly made his decision.

So what if you had eighty-one hammers?

So what if you had eight hundred and eighty-one hammers?

As long as you could not hit your enemy, they were all useless!

The tall Soul Master's body abruptly retreated two or three steps, opening a great distance between himself and Lu Feng.

His plan was simple. Lu Feng's attack method was clearly one that relied on pressing forward in one unbroken burst.

He would simply keep dozens of meters away and use the long-range attack of his first Soul Skill to harass him. Within three minutes, his opponent's Soul Power would be exhausted.

"Oh? He actually saw through it?"

Watching the tall Soul Master retreat, Lu Feng immediately guessed what his opponent was thinking.

Sure enough, in this real world, no Soul Masters were like those in the original story, who only knew how to release Soul Skills and trade blows.

Heroes under heaven were as numerous as fish crossing a river. Even an obscure bandit Soul Master possessed such ability.

Interesting. Truly interesting.

A glacial chill flashed through Lu Feng's eyes, and the corner of his mouth rose slightly. "Unfortunately, you realized it too late."

Whoosh!

With a flick of his hand, sixteen sharp arrows shot from Lu Feng's grasp with piercing whistles, flying toward the dog-headed man.

Tang Sect hidden weapon—the Godly Zhuge Crossbow!

The tall Soul Master's hair instantly stood on end. His instincts told him that if those arrows struck him, his fate would definitely not be pleasant.

In midair, the dog-headed man's body twisted miraculously. Dense Soul Power burst forth, and under a powerful tremor, the arrows' trajectories shifted considerably.

Whoosh!

Two arrows pierced through the dog-headed man's abdomen, but they were clearly not fatal wounds.

"Damn it!" The tall Soul Master clutched his waist and immediately swallowed a pill.

"What kind of weapon was that? If my reaction had been even a moment slower, I would have been dead."

A hunting hound Martial Soul was incredibly fast, and its initial burst of acceleration took only an instant. Yet that very instant was enough for him to turn the battle around.

"He could react to that too?" Lu Feng's gaze darkened.

He did not continue dwelling on the matter. The next moment, he brought down the Clear Sky Hammer in his hand with tremendous force.

Bang!

Another fierce collision rang out.

The Clear Sky Hammer collided with the dog claws. This time, Lu Feng was only forced back four or five steps.

At the same time, Lu Feng swiftly swung his Clear Sky Hammer twice more.

Tenth hammer.

Eleventh hammer.

However, Lu Feng did not use his Clear Sky Hammer to strike the tall Soul Master. Instead, he swung it through empty air.

Clearly, he was building momentum.

Yet strangely, Lu Feng's feet continuously moved in step with his hammer swings. The footwork seemed chaotic and irregular, yet it appeared to contain some sort of rule.

The tall Soul Master's expression immediately darkened.

He could dodge those incredibly fast arrows, but he discovered that no matter which direction he tried to evade toward, he could not avoid the other party's hammer.

It was as though the hammer could predict his movements!

It always smashed down where he would appear in the next instant!

The dog-headed man had never imagined that such a wondrous Self-Created Soul Skill existed in this world.

Generally speaking, even when Soul Masters created their own Soul Skills, they did so around their Martial Souls.

The Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer had been created by Tang Chen, the previous previous Sect Master of the Clear Sky Sect and the Clear Sky Douluo of that time, while forging iron.

Though it was powerful, it was ultimately only a method of borrowing force against force.

Yet the strange footwork created by this brat before him had no discernible theoretical basis at all.

Like flowers reflected in a mirror and the moon in water.

A pavilion in the air.

"He actually solved the greatest flaw of the Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer? What a peerless genius!" A sense of foreboding suddenly rose in the tall Soul Master's heart.

However, he quickly came up with a countermeasure.

Since he could not dodge it, then he would clash head-on!

So what if it was the Clear Sky Hammer?

So what if he was a genius with a Self-Created Soul Skill?
