Snake Granny Chao Tianxiang was furious.
Six solidified Soul Ring rose from beneath his feet with a whooshing sound, and the snake-headed cane in his hand transformed into a ferocious giant python with a scarlet forked tongue, carrying Heavenly Fiend as it lunged towards Xiao Xuan's face!
Faced with this Six-Ring Soul Emperor's bullying of the weak, a cold killing intent flashed deep in Xiao Xuan's dark eyes.
"Since you're shameless, then I won't be polite either!"
Xiao Xuan smoothly changed his move, slashing through the air with his Five-Star Lone Bamboo Spear!
A silvery-white crescent moon, several feet wide, swept horizontally through the air!
This wind blade incorporated the destructive essence of a peerless spear technique at the Perfection Realm, and wherever it passed, the air emitted a piercing, mournful cry.
The hairs on Chao Tianxiang's body stood on end as she rushed towards him, sensing a deadly danger emanating from that silvery-white crescent moon!
He had no time to spare for killing Xiao Xuan. His body twisted in mid-air, and he tumbled backward in a very disheveled manner, back to Dragon Duke Meng Shu's front!
Boom!
The crescent moon slashed down and carved a jagged chasm several feet wide and bottomless into the ground!
"Old man! This kid's moves are strange, his offensive and destructive power is incredibly eerie!" Still shaken, Chao Tianxiang clutched her chest, her eyes filled with astonishment and doubt.
Dragon Duke Meng Shu's expression turned completely serious.
However, as a top expert renowned throughout the entire continent, his Martial Soul Fusion Skill with Chao Tianxiang was so powerful that even Titled Douluo dared to confront it head-on. Naturally, he would not be intimidated by a young man who looked to be only ten years old.
"You brat, you've injured my granddaughter today; you won't get away so easily!"
Dragon Duke Meng Shu stepped forward, his burly body surging with Soul Power, and the overwhelming pressure of an eighty-something level Soul Douluo instantly rushed towards Xiao Xuan!
"Let me personally assess your capabilities!"
"Take a look at me?"
At the eye of the storm, Xiao Xuan sneered and made no further reservations.
Buzz--!
A crisp, melodious sound of air pulsating resounded throughout the surrounding area!
From beneath Xiao Xuan's tall and slender body, four Soul Ring roared and rose one after another!
purple!
purple!
black!
black!
Upon seeing this heaven-defying combination of four Martial Soul inheritances that completely broke the common sense of martial soul inheritance across the entire continent Dragon Duke Meng Shu who was about to launch an attack, suddenly froze on the spot, his pupils shrinking to the size of pinpoints.
The Snake Granny and Meng Yiran behind them gaped wide-eyed, as if they had seen a ghost!
However, Xiao Xuan gave them absolutely no time to think or be shocked!
Third Soul Skill - Mystic Yellow Gravity Domain!
Buzz!
With Xiao Xuan at the core, the gravity of the earth veins within a radius of thirty feet suddenly increased fivefold!
Originally, Dragon Duke Meng Shu, who was charging forward, felt as if Mount Tai was pressing down on his shoulders. His burly body involuntarily sank forward, and the mud and rocks beneath his feet collapsed with a crash!
Under the sudden suppression of the unknown skill, Meng Shu's movements inevitably faltered, creating an opening.
And in that brief moment of hesitation!
The fourth deep black Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring beneath Xiao Xuan's feet shone brightly!
Fourth Soul Skill - Thunderous Purgatory!
Crackle!
Dozens of thick, deep blue arcs of electricity, like coiled dragons, surged violently from the surface of Xiao Xuan's spear, weaving together into a destructive lightning net that blotted out the sky. In an instant, it traversed spatial distances, binding the Dragon Duke Meng Shu, who was trapped in the gravitational suppression, tightly to its core!
Ahhh--!
Pure lightning energy is incredibly violent. Combined with the armor-piercing intent carried by Xiao Xuan's martial soul, even Meng Shu's protective aura, which was as strong as a Soul Douluo, was torn to shreds the moment it came into contact with it!
The intense numbness and charred flesh caused him to let out a painful scream, his body completely frozen in place!
The fatal gap has been fully formed!
Xiao Xuan moved with his steps, thrusting out his bamboo spear in the same direction!
Perfected Great Accomplishment Spear Intent, detonate!
Demon-Breaking Heaven-Splitting Spear Art!
Space penetration!
Absolute destruction!
Buzz!
The solid void around the spear tip rippled with fine, twisting black folds, transcending distance and the barrier of air, completely ignoring all the defensive energy and armor on Dragon Duke Meng Shu's body!
Pfft!
A cold glint flashed, and the spearhead pierced through Dragon Duke Meng Shu's heart!
A violent surge of internal energy exploded from the wound, instantly pulverizing the life force center of this arrogant Soul Douluo!
The screams stopped abruptly.
Dragon Duke Meng Shu stared wide-eyed, filled with resentment and horror, his life completely extinguished.
"Old man--!"
Awakened in the back, Chao Tianxiang let out a desperate scream and, as if possessed, tried to rush forward to fight.
With a slight tremor of his wrist, Xiao Xuan lifted Meng Shu's heavy corpse with one arm and swiftly flung it into Chao Tianxiang's arms!
Taking advantage of the moment when the other party was frantically catching the body, Xiao Xuan lightly pushed off the ground with his toes, and like a streak of dark light, he disappeared completely into the depths of the vast, continuous forest with a few leaps, using the cover of ancient tree branches.
Xiao Xuan knew this clearly.
The reason I instantly killed Dragon Duke Meng Shu was purely because I took advantage of the huge information gap caused by the opponent's overconfidence and lack of knowledge about my Soul Skill.
If the fight drags on and they get bogged down in a prolonged battle, it will be extremely difficult to quickly replenish the Soul Power they have consumed.
Moreover, the commotion just now was too loud. The Dragon Duke and Snake Granny have been operating here for years; who knows if they have other accomplices around?
In the charred clearing, a cold wind slowly rolled, carrying with it the strong stench of thunder and acrid blood.
Snake Granny Chao Tianxiang collapsed amidst the mud and gravel, her aged face ashen white as paper. Her withered arms tightly embraced Meng Shu's still-warm body, tears mingling with the mud and sand as they streamed down her face, and the mournful cries emanating from her throat were sorrowful and desperate.
The once-renowned Peerless Dragon Snake, famous throughout the mainland for decades, now has its head broken, leaving only a broken snake to mourn.
Beside Chao Tianxiang, fourteen or fifteen-year-old Meng Yiran stood frozen in place.
The snake-headed dagger in her hand had long since fallen to the ground, her dark brown short hair flew wildly in the cold wind, and her eyes, which were usually full of arrogance and aloofness, were now vacant and empty, as if all her spirit and vitality had been forcibly drained in just a few breaths.
Despite the biting cold around her, Meng Yiran's joints continued to tremble violently and uncontrollably.
Even at this moment, her mind remained a blank and in a state of collapse.
No matter how hard she racked her brains, she couldn't piece together what had just happened with reality.
That was clearly just a simple-dressed, handsome young man in black, whose features even looked a bit more youthful than his own!
But from the moment the opponent displayed that incomprehensible aura, to the moment they raised their hand and created a domain as heavy as a mountain, and then to the moment they pierced her grandfather's heart with a single shot...
The whole process was so swift and efficient it was breathtaking; it didn't even take up a third of half an incense stick's worth of time!
That's Soul Douluo level 80+!
He is the pillar of the Peerless Clan, a powerful elder in the Soul Master World who can command respect from all factions with a mere stomp of his foot!
How could they possibly be so easily wiped out in the middle of nowhere by a mere junior?!
If it weren't for her grandmother's heart-wrenching cries echoing so vividly in her ears, Meng Yiran even wondered if she had fallen into some kind of dangerous and terrifying mental illusion.
