Clang!
That was the sound of metal colliding, a high-decibel explosion of air.
The illusory image of the Clear Sky Hammer, as powerful as the earth splitting and rocks shattering, carried immense force. The terrifying, tangible crimson killing intent, like thunder from the heavens, crashed down with the giant hammer, like a meteorite falling from Mount Tai.
But such an impact.
It withstood the test!
Beneath the illusory figure, Xiao Yan's body remained upright, holding a jet-black weapon that was long, wide, and heavy. His eyes were resolute, and he did not flinch, his fighting spirit intense.
Tang San's strongest Thousand-Year Soul Skill was easily blocked without even causing any pain.
"Oh my god!"
"We seem to have forgotten that there's a full ten-level difference in their Soul Power. Xiao Yan is a genius among geniuses; he could defeat geniuses of higher levels back then. Now that his Soul Power has reached the Soul Ancestor level and he's released his Martial Soul, this outcome is the expected result!"
As expected, after Xiao Yan launched a full-scale counterattack, his terrifying suppressive power began to emerge.
The most obvious manifestation of this is that Xiao Yan has become the main attacker!
Tang San had almost no chance to fight back. Before that extremely flamboyant ruler-shaped weapon, Tang San was forced to retreat step by step, almost being suppressed and beaten. The huge difference in Soul Power was almost an insurmountable chasm.
"What is that?" Ning Fengzhi looked at Bone Douluo first. The latter was a renowned defensive Soul Master throughout the continent and should be able to see through how Xiao Yan blocked the attack immediately.
" Soul Skill? But shouldn't Xiao Yan's Martial Soul be the Ultimate Fire?!" This was the thought in most people's minds.
Bone Douluo shook his head, "What Soul Skill takes the shape of a weapon?"
"This is a divine weapon!" Sword Douluo Chen Xin suddenly exclaimed.
Heavy Xuan Ruler!
There is no weapon inheritance in the Douluo Continent.
The existence of Tool Martial Soul means that weapon forging is practically at its primitive stage.
The Clear Sky Hammer, which has not yet fully matured, is not even comparable in rank to the Heavy Xuan Ruler.
The difference in weapons, the chasm in Soul Power.
"I have no idea how I lost!"
Holding a divine weapon, Xiao Yan seemed to have divine assistance, overcoming the disadvantage of not having a weapon and actually took the initiative to clash with Tang San. One of them wielded a heavy ruler, and the other held the Clear Sky Hammer. Both were heavy weapons of the Power Attack System, and the sounds of their collisions were incessant.
One after another, dazzling explosions rang out.
puff!
The Heavy Xuan Ruler struck out again, and with the support of its powerful Soul Power, the impact made Tang San feel numb for the first time in a head-on collision. His Mysterious Jade Hand began to turn red and swollen.
Buzz!
Suddenly, people's expressions changed, especially those below the Soul Saint level. They stood up abruptly, rubbing their eyes vigorously, thinking they were seeing things.
"This guy actually flew up!?"
Even Feng Xiaotian couldn't help but exclaim in disbelief, "Shouldn't this be an attribute only Soul Saint possess? But Xiao Yan clearly only has four rings!"
"He only has four rings, but why do I feel like he could fight Soul Saint- level expert!"
"This guy's strength is a complete mystery!"
High in the sky, Xiao Yan seemed to rise with the wind beneath his feet, soaring upwards, a golden light shining brightly on his right foot.
In that instant, a fiery red streak swept through.
Like a volcanic eruption, a raging inferno appeared from the Void, and as everyone's hearts Lie Yan, they all knew that this was Xiao Yan's Martial Soul, a terrifying power belonging to the extreme of fire.
"I understand, that's Soul Bone Skill. Xiao Yan's right foot Soul Bone Skill is flight!"
Buzz!
As Tang San's eyelids twitched, the energy of the Ultimate Fire surged, eventually merging with the already imperceptible fiery red Dou Qi surrounding Xiao Yan's body, seamlessly flowing into the giant ruler.
"This power is so strong," Tang San began to hesitate.
Although reluctant to admit it, a sense of defeat and fear was slowly rising from within Tang San. Every cell in his body and every strand of hair was trembling. Under Xiao Yan's immense power, he understood that this former enemy had already surpassed him by a large margin. With Xiao Yan's combat talent already no less than his own, there was now a ten-level difference in Soul Power, making defeat almost inevitable.
"Admit defeat!" High in the sky, Xiao Yan was bathed in the sun's radiance, dazzling and fiery.
Tang San shook his head, "Bring it on."
Stubborn to the end!
A Lie Yan roared out, and the Heavy Xuan Ruler seemed to be covered with a layer of raging flames.
" Flame Splitting Wave Ruler!"
As the Lie Yan fell like a tsunami, the entire space trembled slightly, and the intense heat swept through the entire palace. Fortunately, several Titled Douluo intervened and sealed off the energy.
"Can Tang San really withstand this level of attack?"
This is what Youren is thinking.
But Xiao Yan noticed something amiss. Before that terrifying heatwave, a resolute, cold smile appeared on Tang San's face—a smile Xiao Yan remembered.
It was on the edge of that small river in Holy Soul Village, where Tang San had tried to poison Xiao Yan to death.
Suddenly, Xiao Yan finally noticed something was wrong.
Tang San, who was originally holding the Clear Sky Hammer, now found his hands completely empty!
"Come on, this attack might kill me, or at least leave me half-dead, but you're definitely going to die!"
" Xiao Yan, if the King of Hell wants you to die at midnight, then you must die!"
Tang San sneered.
The moment the heatwave engulfed Tang San, his figure vanished. He was completely unaffected by the terrifying Lie Yan and the immense power of the Heavy Xuan Ruler, and he suffered a truly devastating blow!
At the same time, the Clear Sky Hammer appeared and came above Xiao Yan.
As it flashed by, a thin sheet of paper, as black as ink and carved with patterns resembling those of the King of Hell, landed on Xiao Yan's back.
The Yama's Invitation!
In just a moment, the Yama's Invitation merged into Xiao Yan's body like a pool of stagnant water. It could enter his bloodstream and turn the person who was afflicted by the decree into sewage in no time!
"I knew this old fox couldn't be that simple. So he wanted to perish with me!" Xiao Yan wasn't panicked at all. After being baptized by the Fire Yang Spring and the Ice Dragon King, he was now not only immune to fire and ice, but also to poisons!
Possessing the Ultimate Fire, almost the instant the Yama's Invitation pierced his skin, a ball of flame surged within Xiao Yan's body, drying up the stagnant water and turning it to ashes.
The so-called backup plan.
It's not worth mentioning at all.
Xiao Yan landed and moved through the heatwave, the flames unable to harm him in the slightest.
At the very edge of the flames, a terrifying cocoon-shaped object appeared.
"Trying to escape this calamity using External Soul Bone?!"
With a casual slash, Xiao Yan shattered the already fragile Eight Spider Lances almost instantly, leaving them as severed limbs.
Bang!
A figure fell out in a disheveled state.
The flames in his eyes, reddened by the heat, were filled with disbelief. Before Tang San could speak, Xiao Yan moved like a streak of rainbow light, unleashing his Fire-Blowing Palm, which knocked Tang San down and casually tossed him into the sea of fire.
"You threw me into the river then, and now I'm throwing you into the sea. You're lucky to have survived."
The outside world was in an uproar.
Tang San was crushed by the wave of fire, his fate unknown.
Xiao Yan was hit by the Clear Sky Hammer and fled into the sea of fire, seemingly having also been attacked.
"Whoever succeeds in leaving will be the strongest of the younger generation in the Heaven Dou Empire, no, even in the entire Douluo Continent!"
