Fierce Battle with the Blazing Shadow Leopard, the Time Has Come—Full-Draw Explosive Shot! Please Keep Reading

But Guang Yu almost stopped engaging the Blazing Shadow Leopard in direct clashes of strength. With his small, agile body, he evaded every strike of its claws.

Using the sword in his hand and exquisite swordsmanship, he shifted positions nimbly as he slashed at its body.

For a time, Guang Yu actually gained the upper hand, madly hacking at the Blazing Shadow Leopard's body amid the intense battle.

Splat~

But this kind of extreme close-quarters combat was also incredibly dangerous, because it made him easy to attack!

At that moment.

The Blazing Shadow Leopard's claws came at him from an angle Guang Yu could barely evade.

"Roar!"

"Little Yu Yu! Watch out!!"

Guang Yu reacted at the very limit, attacking instead of defending as he swung his sword.

Bang!

Guang Yu was sent flying more than ten meters by a claw strike, but he was not injured.

Guang Ling let out a long sigh of relief, his face full of worry. "This kid's fighting style is way too dangerous. Extreme close-range combat against a Soul Beast can create an advantage, but if he fails to react in time and gets clawed by the Blazing Shadow Leopard, that'll be fatal damage!"

"This kid is risking his life!"

Extreme Attributes granted Soul Masters tremendous destructive power and might, allowing them to confront opponents of higher ranks head-on in terms of strength.

But that did not mean they were not fragile!

Against a Soul Beast of the Blazing Shadow Leopard's level, even a single attack that a Soul Grandmaster could neither block nor evade would be extremely fatal.

Jiang Mo Douluo could not help shouting, "Hey! Kid! Stop fighting at close range and use your Ice Divine Bow Martial Soul!"

No, not yet! I have to reduce its speed even more! Guang Yu ignored Jiang Mo Douluo's voice from outside the arena, his resolve unwavering.

Watching the Blazing Shadow Leopard charge at him again, Guang Yu knew that at this Soul Beast's current speed, even his Ice Divine Bow Martial Soul would still find it difficult to pose a threat.

It was not time yet!

Guang Yu charged forward once more.

A fierce battle!

Bang!

Qian Jun Douluo watched with his heart in his throat. "What is this kid doing?! Why not release Ice Wings, fly into the air, and use the Ice Divine Bow Martial Soul to keep shooting it from afar?"

"Not only would that give him complete control over the initiative, he could also continuously wear down the Blazing Shadow Leopard. Once its condition drops significantly, he could switch to the Light God Sword and go down to chop at it. He'd still have a chance of winning!"

"Sixth, Seventh, have you subconsciously been treating Guang Yu as if he were me?" Guang Ling's voice rang out. He shook his head, his expression grave. "Don't forget that he's only a Soul Grandmaster. Every arrow he forms and fires consumes Soul Power, and most importantly, Ice Wings consume Soul Power too."

"While using the Ice Divine Bow to wear down the Blazing Shadow Leopard, his own Soul Power would also be rapidly depleted."

"This..."

That was right!

They were used to Guang Ling's combat style as a high-ranking Titled Douluo, so they had subconsciously assumed Guang Yu could fight the same way.

But Guang Ling, as a high-ranking Titled Douluo, possessed an enormous amount of Soul Power.

He no longer needed to care about the Soul Power consumed by shooting or maintaining Ice Wings.

But Guang Yu was only a Soul Grandmaster, and Ice Wings in particular consumed a considerable amount of Soul Power.

If he kept Ice Wings active and fired from the air, Guang Yu would very likely be the first to exhaust his Soul Power.

Guang Ling continued, "Besides, for ranged-attack Soul Masters like us, we don't fear power attackers or control-type opponents. The only troublesome enemies are agility-attack types with extreme speed. At the Blazing Shadow Leopard's speed, Little Yu Yu's arrows would be very difficult to land."

"If he released the Ice Divine Bow and fired from the air right now, it would be a gamble—betting that his arrows could hit the Blazing Shadow Leopard before his Soul Power ran out."

"Although Little Yu Yu's current fighting style is also a gamble, his odds of victory are higher. The only thing is, the odds of death are higher too."

"What do you mean?" Qian Jun and Jiang Mo froze.

Qian Daoliu spoke up to explain, "Have you noticed? This child is using an extremely dangerous, close-range fighting style to slash at the Blazing Shadow Leopard's limbs as quickly as possible. He is not trying to kill or simply injure it. He is trying to severely wound its legs and reduce its speed and mobility!"

"Though the risk is incredibly high, as long as he successfully lands one effective attack on the Blazing Shadow Leopard's limbs, then once he switches to the Ice Divine Bow Martial Soul, victory will almost be assured."

Qian Jun and Jiang Mo instantly understood.

"But that's far too dangerous."

"If he doesn't do this, his chances of winning won't be high." As Qian Daoliu spoke, he sighed inwardly. Qian Renxue, I never expected this child to risk his life so desperately just to bring you back. It seems he truly believes you will become the Angel God.

As Qian Daoliu spoke.

Guang Yu had already unleashed his strongest sword strike, viciously slashing into the Blazing Shadow Leopard's hind leg!

The cut was very deep!

Splat~

"Roar!!"

The Blazing Shadow Leopard screamed in agony.

"He did it!!"

The Seven Great High Priests were stirred with excitement.

But in that instant, the Blazing Shadow Leopard turned at the limit and swung a claw at Guang Yu.

The Seven Great High Priests' expressions changed again.

"Oh no!"

"Guang Yu!!"

Yet Guang Yu reacted at the limit as well, raising the Light God Sword in his hand to block.

Boom! Boom!

But he had just used a powerful surge of Soul Power in his previous strike to wound the Blazing Shadow Leopard's leg. Under such extreme circumstances, it was difficult for him to quickly gather enough Soul Power to block this claw.

Splat~

"Urgh!"

Guang Yu spat out a mouthful of blood and was sent flying more than ten meters.

He was severely wounded by that claw.

Seeing that Guang Yu was only seriously injured, the Seven Great High Priests finally let out another long sigh of relief. One of them could not help cursing, "Damn it! Watching this kid fight is like riding a roller coaster!"

"But he actually did it!"

Delight appeared on all their faces, and they could already foresee the outcome of this battle.

The Light God Sword was stabbed straight into the ground. Guang Yu gripped its hilt with his right hand and clutched his chest with his left, half-kneeling on the ground.

Though severely wounded, Guang Yu's face now held a trace of excitement. "Blazing Shadow Leopard, our fight ends here. From now on, it'll be my one-sided slaughter!"

"Roar!!" (Damned human!)

The Blazing Shadow Leopard went mad as well, charging at him again with the killing intent of one fighting for its life.

But the leg that had been slashed was bleeding profusely, and it could no longer support its body in a swift run. It nearly fell as it charged over. It quickly gave up using that leg, but its speed dropped severalfold!

Guang Ling Douluo's blood boiled as his fighting spirit surged. "Little Yu Yu! Let the Worship Elders have a good look at the archery skills you've trained so hard for over the past half year!!"

Hearing Guang Ling's impassioned shout from outside the arena, Guang Yu seemed to ignite as well. "Granduncle, you always know how to get someone's blood boiling!"

"Then let's show them!"

"Ice Divine Bow!"

"Ice Wings!!"

At that moment, the translucent crystalline Ice Wings formed behind him, and the Ice Divine Bow appeared in Guang Yu's hand.

He leaped into the air, evading the claw of the Blazing Shadow Leopard's pounce.

In an instant, he drew the bow to its full length.

"Explosive Arrow!!"

"Die!!"

The ice arrow shot forth at full draw.
