Killing intent from all sides
Before he could draw his sword, retreat, or counterattack, Bai Yushan's lips curled into a bloodthirsty sneer. He exerted force from his waist and abdomen, his bones cracking, and his leg whip swept out with a fierce and powerful wind, heavy and swift.
Spiraling Ridge Body-Circling Movement
A Qian Jun, sweeping kick struck the opponent squarely in the chest.
Bang!
A dull Collision resounded as the Gale Sword Soul Ancestor was struck like a broken kite, coughing up blood mid-air. His body flew several feet backward before crashing heavily into the bushes in the forest. His sword slipped from his hand, and his Soul Power was in chaos, making it difficult for him to get up for a while.
But the situation on the battlefield can change in an instant, and victory or defeat can be decided by the slightest margin.
The killing intent was already upon him from the left, the sharp wind of the gun aimed directly at his body.
Seizing the opportunity presented by Bai Yushan's counterattack with his leg, the Dragon Bone Spear Soul Ancestor thrust out his spear with great force. The dragon patterns engraved on the spear shaft circulated with Soul Power, gleaming coldly as it cut through the wind.
Third Soul Skill: Dragon-Breaking Cloud-Piercing Thrust
The spear pierced through layers of air currents, carrying immense Soul Power, and precisely pierced Bai Yushan's left shoulder blade!
A sharp, piercing pain suddenly shot through him, and blood instantly soaked through his white clothes, dripping down his shoulder. The powerful Impact of the piercing, carrying momentum, forcefully pushed Bai Yushan's body forward several feet.
The skin and flesh were torn, and the muscles and bones were jolted.
If it were an ordinary Soul Master, such a severe injury would have already caused their meridians to rupture, their combat power to be completely lost, and them to suffer unbearable pain.
But Bai Yushan did not stagger or retreat in the slightest. Instead, the madness in his eyes burned even brighter. The extreme pain did not suppress his fighting spirit. Instead, it completely ignited the unrestrained wildness and madness in his bones.
He tilted his head slightly, his gaze coldly sweeping over the spear piercing his shoulder blade. Blood trickled down his shoulder bone, dripping onto the ground, both alluring and sharp.
"That's a bit forceful."
He murmured softly, his tone indifferent, devoid of any pain, only displaying extreme amusement and a murderous intent.
In the shadows, the last member of the Silver Moon Wolf Soul Ancestor had already prepared his attack.
He crouched low, blending into the shadows, his body shrouded in silver-gray Soul Power. His speed was so great that he almost shrank into a blur, silently circling behind Bai Yushan. His claws were sharp and fierce, aimed directly at Bai Yushan's vitals.
Second Soul Skill: Moon Shadow Stealth
Third Soul Skill: Wolf Howl Wind-Rending Claw
The claws, carrying a fierce gust of wind and a sharp sound as they tore through the air, concealed a chilling intent to devour souls. They intended to take advantage of Bai Yushan's distraction by the spear to launch a sneak attack, severely injure him, and completely lock down the battle.
All the murderous intent from all sides has materialized.
Zhou Kuang steadied himself, enduring his injuries as he charged forward again. His black armor gleamed with a cold light as he stomped the ground, his momentum like thunder.
First Soul Skill: Horn Charge
The single horn atop its head condensed a powerful Soul Power, charging like a bull or crushing a mountain, launching a frontal assault that restrained all of Bai Yushan's direct attacks, creating a decisive opportunity for the other two.
In an instant, he was surrounded from all sides: a unicorn-like figure suppressing him from the front, a wolf's claw attacking from behind, and a spear piercing his body from the left. He was in dire straits.
Smoke and dust billowed, the wind howled through the forest, and the murderous aura in the clearing was so thick it was almost tangible.
For an ordinary person, reaching this point would undoubtedly mean certain death.
But Bai Yushan stood in the heart of the bloody battle, with a gunshot wound through his shoulder blade and a scar on his palm, yet his posture remained as upright as a pine tree, showing no sign of weakness.
With his Transparent World fully open, every nerve and muscle in his body was in a state of extreme activation, and he had a clear understanding of his injuries, the battle situation, and his opponent's weaknesses.
To retreat is to die.
Then let's dismantle the whole thing!
Bai Yushan neither dodged nor evaded, letting the Dragon Bone Spear pierce through his shoulder blade. Using the momentum of the spear's thrust, his body suddenly surged forward!
This charge completely defied the logic of normal offense and defense, abandoning defense and entering the fray head-on, which forced the Dragon Bone Spear Soul Ancestor's expression to change drastically, and a sense of panic arose in his heart.
Bai Yushan suddenly gripped the gun barrel tightly with his right hand, lightning surging in his palm. Fine currents of electricity coursed rapidly along the gun barrel, striking the meridians of his opponent's hand that held the gun.
Lightning Thread Binding
Invisible, fine lightning bolts, like silk threads or a net, instantly Entanglement the gun and the opponent's arms, tightly restricting his movements.
The Dragon Bone Spear Soul Ancestor's arm suddenly went numb, his Soul Power became stagnant, and he could no longer advance the spear even a fraction of an inch or withdraw it even a second.
Taking advantage of the moment when his body stiffened and his momentum faltered, Bai Yushan twisted his waist, his bones cracking, and all the remaining strength in his body gathered in his left arm. Even with a broken shoulder bone, he still unleashed a terrifying brute force.
Mountain-Subduing Eight-Direction Step
His injured left arm suddenly sank down and swept horizontally, carrying the fierce and domineering power of a tiger's fighting style, smashing hard towards the head and neck of the Dragon Bone Spear Soul Ancestor!
Bang!
A powerful palm strike landed squarely on the opponent's shoulder and neck, the crisp sound of bones shattering clearly audible.
The force of the palm struck the ground, and the sound of bones cracking echoed shrilly.
The Dragon Bone Spear Soul Ancestor shuddered violently, his arms went numb and powerless, and the spear he was gripping suddenly loosened. The spearhead that had pierced through Bai Yushan's shoulder blade loosened slightly, and blood gushed down the spear shaft, staining the dust on the ground red.
It was this fleeting moment of relaxation that made it possible.
Bai Yushan's eyes flashed with a fierce light, and his entire body suddenly exerted force, tearing open his wounds and causing excruciating pain, but he was completely unaware of it. He suddenly shrank back, twisted to the side, and used the force of the spear shaft slipping to nimbly break free from the spear's grasp.
Blood gushed out from the wound on his shoulder blade like a crimson ribbon, splattering onto his white clothes in a shocking sight.
But he had no time to care about his injuries; the chilling claws behind him were already close, the cold penetrating to his bones.
The Silver Moon Wolf Soul Ancestor's claws, wrapped in layers of Soul Power, locked tightly around his back, leaving him no way to escape.
Bai Yushan suddenly crossed his arms behind his head, his muscles and bones stretched to the limit, forcefully taking the fatal claw strike.
Bang!
A tremendous force crashed down, causing Bai Yushan's slender body to sag, his knees to bend slightly, and the soil beneath his feet to collapse layer by layer. His seemingly thin arms withstood the full force of the Four-Ring Soul Ancestor's attack, holding on tightly and refusing to retreat an inch.
Stalemate, imprisonment, deadlock.
The air in the forest seemed to freeze, and everyone's breathing suddenly stopped.
In that split second, a sudden gust of wind arose from the side, and a heavy, tyrannical Soul Power crashed in with the force of a mountain collapsing, unmatched by any other.
Seizing this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, Zhou Kuang disregarded his ruptured old wounds and excruciating pain in his meridians, forcefully unleashing the power of his Martial Soul in a desperate surprise attack.
First Soul Skill: Horn Charge
The jet-black horn condensed the remaining Soul Power in its body, transforming it into a jet-black sharp light that slammed into Bai Yushan's side. The incomparably brutal Collision instantly shattered the stalemate.
Puff--!
Bai Yushan felt as if he had been Collision a mountain, his body tumbling through the air and being thrown several meters away. In mid-air, relying on the ultimate perception unlocked by Electromagnetic Clarity, he precisely controlled the strength of every inch of his muscles. His core suddenly twisted, and his waist spun strangely, using the vortex in the air to dissipate most of the brute force.
The moment he landed, his toes touched the ground, and he smoothly executed the Wave-Skimming Mist-Treading Steps, taking three steps in quick succession, each step shattering the pebbles on the ground, barely managing to stabilize himself.
However, due to the severity of his injuries, the forceful release caused his internal organs to violently tremble, and a mouthful of scalding hot, sweet-smelling liquid suddenly surged into his throat.
He made no attempt to hide it, tilting his head back and spitting out a mouthful of scalding blood, the scarlet blood scattering onto the dust, eerily chilling.
A moment of deathly silence fell over the forest.
Zhou Kuang stood rooted to the spot, his blood essence gushing from his chest, the cracks in his black armor growing ever denser, his aura weak and disordered, yet he stared intently at the youth before him, his eyes filled with resolute madness. Beside him, the Silver Moon Wolf Soul Ancestor breathed slightly, its claws frosting, its Soul Power gathering once more.
Both men knew perfectly well that there was no turning back in this battle.
If they retreat, they will surely die; if Bai Yushan is defeated, he will also surely die.
Pain, blood loss, strained meridians, and depleted Soul Power are all meaningless in the face of life and death.
Only by surviving can you have everything.
