Despite having the advantage in Martial Soul and Soul Power, Qian Renxue was completely at a disadvantage.
Her sacred Soul Power, which should have been able to suppress all darkness, was instead neutralized and annihilated by the ferocious and evil aura of the Blood Spear, making it difficult for her to gain the upper hand.
"Mental suppression lock?" Qian Renxue stared intently at the Blood Spear in Xuan Ming's hand.
There is a huge gap between top-tier Martial Soul and ordinary Martial Soul. Beast Martial Soul mainly enhance amplification and resistance, while Tool Martial Soul possess special effects that opponents cannot dodge.
Her grandfather had told her that within the same level, the Clear Sky Hammer's attacks were almost impossible to dodge, because the special force field carried by the Clear Sky Hammer would create a huge attraction, just like gravity pulling. Moreover, the greater the power, the greater the attraction. If it were combined with the Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer, that thing would be the nightmare of all land-based Soul Master!
Even for flying-type Soul Master, if they don't keep a sufficient distance from the Clear Sky Hammer, they will almost certainly die if they are sucked into that special force field!
Xuan Ming's Blood Spear didn't have the special force field of Clear Sky Hammer, but each pierce carried a huge mental shock and suppression. That suppression would greatly impact her mind and vision, making everything in front of her blur. Only the spear flashing with blood light was slowly approaching. Moreover, the feeling was extremely strange. One second it felt far away, but the next second it would be right in front of her!
Qian Renxue looked at Xuan Ming with a solemn expression, "I now have some respect for those guys who dared to Soul Fighting you in the Great Soul Arena."
If even she, the possessor of a super Martial Soul, faces such immense pressure, what about those Soul Master with ordinary Martial Soul?
"There's no need to admire me. I used to fight against Soul Master Soul Fighting Soul Power Level was at least ten levels higher than mine. The huge difference in Soul Power Level can greatly reduce this kind of suppression," Xuan Ming said.
"Now that our Soul Power Level are similar, you can sense it more clearly."
His Soul Power purity was comparable to that of Titled Douluo, and he possessed both ice and fire as Ultimate Attribute. However, Qian Renxue's divine Soul Power was even more domineering. If he hadn't absorbed the Soul Ring of the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger and obtained Evil attribute energy, which greatly enhanced the ferocious aura of the Blood Spear, he would have had to use the Beast Martial Soul Domain to resist the suppression of Qian Renxue's divine energy.
"If we drag this out any longer, someone might find out. Let's make one decisive move!"
Qian Renxue took a deep breath, her gaze becoming incredibly resolute. She knew that the gap in combat experience between her and Xuan Ming was too great; if they continued fighting like this, she would undoubtedly be defeated!
Without hesitation, she frantically channeled all her Soul Power into the Holy Sword in her hand.
The sword's light surged, as if it were holding a shrunken sun, and the terrifying heat caused the surrounding space to distort slightly!
Xuan Ming no longer held back, his Soul Power surging wildly into the Blood Spear. The spear's body was ablaze with crimson light, and crimson Thunderclap crackled wildly. Its ferocious and icy aura reached its peak, like an ancient Ferocious Beast awakening!
Sacred and Evil, the ultimate opposition!
Gold and crimson clashed violently!
Boom--!!!
A deafening roar echoed through the mountains, and a terrifying shockwave exploded outwards in a ring! Trees were uprooted and pulverized; rocks crumbled and turned into clouds of dust; the earth was torn apart, leaving countless deep ravines!
The light faded, leaving only devastation.
Both of them lay on the ground, as if they had just survived a natural disaster.
Qian Renxue was slightly out of breath, her clothes torn in many places, revealing skin with burns and bloodstains. Her hair was disheveled, her cheeks were flushed an unnatural red, and a trickle of blood slid from the corner of her mouth. She tried to prop herself up, but fell weakly back to the ground.
Xuan Ming was naked from the waist up, his body covered in burns and cuts left by the holy sword energy. He simply lay there quietly, gazing at the sky.
Qian Renxue turned her head slightly to look at Xuan Ming, a complex expression flashing in her eyes. "You're letting me win?"
"Not really," Xuan Ming said.
"This is the first time I've realized just how big the gap is between us."
Qian Renxue was slightly taken aback, "The gap?"
"I struggled to survive, endured countless hardships, and narrowly escaped death countless times before I finally managed to climb to a height where I stand shoulder to shoulder with you." Xuan Ming gazed at Liuyun.
"And you, you were born in the clouds."
Qian Renxue remained silent for a long time before slowly speaking, "What good is being born to fly in the sky? If you don't rely on your own wings to soar, you will eventually fall. Although I was at a disadvantage in today's battle, I will defeat you next time."
Xuan Ming tilted his head slightly to look at Qian Renxue, "You've been acting a bit strange lately."
Qian Renxue frowned slightly. "What's wrong?"
Xuan Ming thought for a moment, "You're too normal. It's the other way around that makes you seem abnormal."
Qian Renxue used to give him the feeling that she was sick, with an inherent arrogance and haughtiness, and she did everything with a strange sense of entitlement.
He used to always find himself arguing with Qian Renxue, mainly because of her sense of entitlement. She thought she was right and everyone else was wrong; she thought she was stronger and everyone else should submit to her.
But recently, Qian Renxue has become normal and no longer has that arrogant feeling.
"Because he was hurt by Gu Yuena?" Xuan Ming guessed.
Qian Renxue's expression froze, and she turned her head away.
Seeing this, Xuan Ming was certain.
I was indeed dealt a blow by Gu Yuena; it was a complete and utter defeat.
Qian Renxue's personality is such that flattery is useless and gentle words are ineffective.
Only by completely defeating her with absolute power will she face reality.
She believes in the supremacy of strength. If you are stronger than her, she will restrain her brilliance and even learn to reason with you.
Conversely, it would be the same situation as before—a head-on confrontation, with neither side willing to give in.
He hadn't been able to change Qian Renxue in the slightest over all these years, but Gu Yuena had only been around for a short time, and Qian Renxue had already undergone such a huge transformation.
Targeted medication...
Chapter 264 Ice and Fire Dragon Origin Head Crown
Xuan Ming sat up. "If only you had done this sooner, we wouldn't have ended up like this."
If Qian Renxue hadn't been so deeply fixated on her situation yet had no other choice, Qian Daoliu wouldn't have intervened.
If she hadn't forcibly taken him away from the Pope's Palace back then, they wouldn't have become such bitter enemies.
Unfortunately, life doesn't offer "what ifs," and they can only continue down this path until the very end.
"Do you think we've completely run out of options?" Qian Renxue struggled to sit up, looking at Xuan Ming with a complicated expression.
"It's not just my opinion, it's just how reality is," Xuan Ming said.
"Just like you've always been unwilling to change even the slightest thing, now..."
Before the words were even finished, a chilling killing intent suddenly erupted from the forest to the side!
A dark shadow flashed out like Gui Mei, and the enormous Clear Sky Hammer, carrying the force to destroy the world, went straight for Qian Renxue's head!
Xuan Ming's pupils contracted sharply, and his Soul Power surged wildly within him as he forcefully suppressed his injuries.
The black Fifth Soul Ring transformed into golden light and entered the Blood Spear. The previously dormant Blood Spear instantly erupted with a monstrous blood light, and a fierce aura swept in all directions!
He flashed forward and stood in front of Qian Renxue.
The Blood Spear defied the heavens and clashed head-on with that earth-shattering hammer blow!
"Boom--!!"
The deafening roar of the two weapons colliding echoed through the valley, and the terrifying energy shock spread like a tsunami, shattering the surrounding rocks and sending flying debris raining down like a storm!
Xuan Ming felt an overwhelming force surge through him, and his tiger's mouth instantly split open, blood flowing down his arm.
Qian Renxue stared blankly at the back of the figure blocking her way, her eyes filled with shock.
Tang Hao, hidden beneath the black robe, was equally shocked. He had been tracking Xuan Ming for a long time before sensing the fluctuations of divine Soul Power and rushing over, only to discover that he possessed Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul!
" Tang Hao, you and Qian Daoliu are quite a match, both of you have no shame," Xuan Ming said coldly.
Tang Hao remained silent, Divine Slaughter's Domain suddenly erupted, the materialized killing intent actually suppressing the ferocious aura of the Blood Spear!
The Clear Sky Hammer was raised again, and it crashed down with even greater terrifying force!
Xuan Ming no longer held back; except for the Sixth Soul Ring, all his Soul Ring transformed into golden light and disappeared into the Blood Spear.
The bloodthirsty aura, suppressed by the Divine Slaughter's Domain, surged once more, condensing at the tip of the spear into a ferocious blood dragon that roared to the sky!
The blood dragon and the giant hammer collided once more, and the world paled in comparison.
An even more terrifying energy storm erupted, causing surrounding mountains to collapse and trees to turn to dust!
Protected by the Colorless Wall, Qian Renxue could only watch helplessly as Xuan Ming withstood the earth-shattering blow, while she herself was exhausted of her Soul Power and powerless to help.
"Boom!"
As the light faded, half of Xuan Ming's body was smashed into the ground.
Tang Hao, hidden beneath the black robe, was also forced back dozens of meters, his old injuries flaring up, and he spat out a mouthful of blood.
"In just two years, you've grown to this extent." Tang Hao wiped away the blood, his voice low and deep. "If you were given more time, I doubt anyone in the world could be your match."
"It's a pity you've aligned yourself with the Spirit Hall!"
The Divine Slaughter's Domain intensified once more, a black light flashed, and the Clear Sky Hammer transformed into a hundred-meter-long giant hammer, blotting out the sky!
" Clear Sky True Body!"
Xuan Ming looked at the colossal hammer that seemed to press down on the sky, sighed softly, and put away the Blood Spear: "You forced me to do this."
A deep blue and crimson light shone from the top of his head, intertwining to form a majestic dragon head crown— the Ice and Fire Dragon Origin Head Crown.
The moment the crown appeared, space distorted and a dragon's roar shook the heavens!
The right half is filled with deep ice crystals, shrouded in a chilling aura.
The left half of the lava flowed and surged with blazing light.
A pair of dragon horns stand proudly, one of ice and one of fire, exuding ultimate majesty.
" Soul Bone?" Tang Hao's expression changed slightly.
This is no ordinary skull, but an imperial crown imbued with primal power, where the forces of ice and fire are perfectly intertwined, a sight that sends shivers down one's spine.
It exudes a chilling pressure, half of which is an extreme cold capable of freezing the soul, and the other half is an eternal flame capable of burning everything. The two energies are not simply spliced together, but rather form a perfect balance in the process of confrontation and fusion.
The right half is deep ice crystals, shrouded in cold air, while the left half is lava dragon bones, flowing with blazing light. A pair of dragon horns grow from its forehead, the right horn like an ice crystal and the left horn like a burning rock. It is extremely majestic, as if it simultaneously contains the silence of Ice Seal and the rage of fire.
Ice and Fire Dragon Origin Head Crown.
The moment Xuan Ming opened his eyes, the crown shone brightly, and the power of ice and fire transformed into a pillar of light that shot into the sky! Within the pillar of light, a giant dragon of ice and fire slowly emerged, half of its body made of ice crystal and half of lava. Its eyes opened, and a torrent of light, interwoven with ice and fire, rushed toward Clear Sky True Body!
The moment of impact shook the heavens and the earth!
Tang Hao's old injury was aggravated again, and he vomited blood profusely.
He was secretly shocked. He hadn't expected Xuan Ming to possess such terrifying strength. With such a commotion, the Titled Douluo of Heaven Dou City would inevitably be attracted. Not only would he be exposed, but Tang San might also be implicated.
With this thought in mind, Tang Hao endured the pain in his body, once again wielded the Clear Sky True Body, creating an opening. Then, his figure flashed, transforming into a black lightning bolt, and disappeared into the vast mountains and forests.
Xuan Ming did not pursue—he was also unable to do so.
The phantom of the dragon vanished into thin air, and the strange and majestic dragon head crown gradually disappeared, the dark blue light and the crimson flames dissipating into the air together.
Qian Renxue finally came to her senses, her eyes filled with complex and indescribable emotions.
Suddenly, Xuan Ming fell forward. Qian Renxue mustered the last bit of her Soul Power and caught him in a flash.
" Xuan Ming?" Qian Renxue looked at Xuan Ming anxiously, using her limited divine Soul Power to heal and restore him.
Xuan Ming covered his head. "I'm fine, just a little dizzy."
"But you, someone's coming, Your Highness."
Upon hearing this, Qian Renxue quickly activated her Head Soul Bone, disguising herself as Xue Qinghe once again, though she looked rather pitiful.
Just as Qian Renxue finished her disguise, several figures rapidly flew over from a distance.
Bibi Dong arrived first, followed closely by Yue Guan Gui Mei.
Gu Rong also arrived with Ning Fengzhi.
"What's going on?" Bibi Dong frowned.
An extremely dense aura of ice and fire, a faint aura of holiness, and a lingering aura of the Divine Slaughter's Domain?
"We came out to spar, but we were attacked," Xuan Ming said.
"An attack?" Gu Rong warily surveyed his surroundings.
Who dares to attack you?
"A hammer, nothing else." Xuan Ming forced himself to sit up.
"Hammer?" Yue Guan and Gui Mei exchanged a glance.
Tang Hao?
"Let me heal your injuries first." Ning Fengzhi summoned the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, and seven-colored light surged into Xuan Ming and Xue Qinghe's bodies, rapidly restoring their nearly exhausted bodies.
