Iron Man, who hailed from Runeterra, displayed his terrifying power on the Douluo Continent for the first time!
Drawing on Shangguan Hong's Soul Power, Iron Man swung his heavy mace. He was unlike Azir, summoned by Shangguan Hong's second Soul Skill. The latter was a noble emperor whose primary means of attack was summoning sand soldiers. Though his own combat prowess was considerable, he would never take the initiative to fight.
Iron Man was different. He was the tyrannical emperor of Noxus, who worshipped slaughter, his hands stained with untold amounts of blood. Moreover, he had returned from the underworld and mastered even greater power. In terms of raw strength alone, the Iron Man Shangguan Hong summoned was absolutely above his second Soul Skill, the Sand Emperor.
Zhao Wuji was clearly stunned by this enormous tin can and seemed at a loss for a moment. He looked Iron Man up and down, while the latter swung his enormous mace with an overwhelming thirst for battle. His attacks were not fast, but their power was truly astonishing. Every blow whistled through the air. More alarming still, roaring underworld flames burned on that enormous mace. Zhao Wuji had deliberately blocked it once, only to discover that the underworld flames clung like a festering sore on the bone, crawling up his arm and burning furiously against his skin.
For a time, Iron Man held Zhao Wuji back single-handedly with his uncanny methods.
"A Summoning System Soul Master actually possesses such tremendous power?"
Ning Rongrong's eyes shone from behind them. As the little princess of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, upon whom her father placed high hopes, she would need the help of powerful Soul Masters if she wanted to ascend to the position of sect master. The current sect master, Ning Fengzhi, held his seat securely precisely because he had the support of Bone Douluo and Sword Douluo. Part of the reason she had ventured out to gain experience was likewise to seek out exceptionally talented Soul Masters. Clearly, the impression Shangguan Hong gave her now made him the best candidate.
"This power is even more terrifying than when I activate my third Soul Skill! Just what is this kid's Martial Soul? Why is every one of them a terrifying, deadly monster?!"
Dai Mubai still felt lingering fear. If Shangguan Hong had summoned the Iron Man before them when they fought back then, barring any surprises, he would absolutely have been crushed! One blow from this monster might well have smashed his brains out!
Shangguan Hong took in everyone's shock. At present, Mordekaiser was the strongest creature he could summon. However, the strength Mordekaiser was displaying now barely matched Baron Nashor from his first Soul Skill. The reason was simple: Shangguan Hong was not foolish enough to use every means at his disposal.
Baron Nashor possessed the power to devour and grow without limit and could summon the Void Dead Sea. The desert emperor Azir could summon sand soldiers and also wield the power of the Sun Disc. Naturally, Mordekaiser before them had his own unique qualities.
Speaking of Iron Man, there was no getting around his one-on-one arena!
Ignoring all rules, he forcibly stole 30% of all an enemy's attributes and created an independent space that could last up to twenty-four hours.
And that space measured only ten square meters.
To put it bluntly, it meant forcibly trapping all sorts of enemies in a cage to clash head-on with a monster whose physical defense, mental defense, and strength attributes were all top-tier.
It was second only to a certain old turtle dragging you into another dimension to compete over who could live longer.
"Little San, what are you all standing around for? Hurry up and attack! My Martial Soul can only summon one creature. I can't use multiple Soul Skills at once!"
Shangguan Hong called out to Tang San and the others beside him with feigned urgency. Only then did everyone inwardly breathe a slight sigh of relief. After all, if Shangguan Hong could summon countless terrifying creatures at the same time, this Martial Soul would have been far too abnormally powerful.
"Xiao Wu, let's go! Meteor Human Hammer!"
Xiao Wu and Tang San began working together, never doubting the truth of Shangguan Hong's words in the slightest.
Faced with Mordekaiser's formidable defense and attack power, Zhao Wuji could no longer remain calm. In other words, he had no choice but to use Soul Power! This big fellow looked exceedingly cumbersome, but his strength and defense had genuinely reached the level of an early-stage Soul King. Powerful, but easy to deal with.
However, when Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing rejoined the battle, Zhao Wuji, whose movements had been slowed, began to look somewhat harried, not to mention that Tang San's Blue Silver Grass was constantly harassing him.
"You little flies, buzzing and buzzing. You're annoying me to death!"
Zhao Wuji's temper flared. His eyes widened in anger as Soul Saint-level Soul Power erupted with a boom! His immense Soul Power already possessed tangible destructive force. Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing, who had been harassing him, were instantly sent flying, and this time their injuries were clearly more severe! Both of Zhu Zhuqing's arms were dislocated, and she fainted in midair. Dai Mubai rushed forward to catch her. Though her life was not in danger, there was no doubt she had been eliminated.
At the sight of Xiao Wu's miserable condition, Tang San's pupils contracted. Using Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track, he swept her into his arms. Now only Shangguan Hong's Iron Man was still holding on.
"Kid, your Soul Skill is interesting, but it must consume quite a bit of Soul Power, doesn't it? How much longer can you last?"
Possessed by the Great Strength Vajra Bear, Zhao Wuji's already burly body became even larger. Without the slightest restraint, he unleashed a Great Strength Vajra Palm, striking Mordekaiser heavily in the chest! The emperor of life and death staggered several steps backward. Shangguan Hong, who supplied him with Soul Power, deliberately forced his face to turn deathly pale as well, looking as though he could not hold on much longer.
Even now, a third of the incense stick remained.
And Mordekaiser was enraged by Zhao Wuji's sudden attack!
"I will grind weak souls into dust!"
Underworld flames blazed fiercely, and the power in his mace visibly increased. Ning Rongrong seized the opportunity to swiftly provide Shangguan Hong with twofold support! Iron Man's presence rose another notch. On closer inspection, the ghostly green flames burned even brighter, giving him much of the bearing of a sovereign of life and death.
In Zhao Wuji's eyes, Shangguan Hong had already proved himself fully qualified to enter Shrek, but the others still required some consideration.
Thus, he unleashed his full might, using several Soul Skills in succession to drive Mordekaiser back again and again. What puzzled him, however, was that no matter how much power he used, Mordekaiser could still get back up.
The sovereign who had returned from the underworld was undying. No matter how grievous his injuries, as long as Shangguan Hong still had sufficient Soul Power, he could recover instantly!
However, Shangguan Hong also knew that he had already stolen enough of the limelight today. He deliberately controlled Iron Man to slow his movements, giving Zhao Wuji ample opportunities to target the others.
Zhao Wuji seized an opening in Iron Man's movements and appeared before Tang San and Xiao Wu in the blink of an eye.
"Kid, still not admitting defeat?"
Zhao Wuji grinned and reached out with his enormous hand, but Xiao Wu, lying in Tang San's arms, suddenly shoved Tang San aside.
"Third Brother, watch out!"
"Second Soul Skill, Charm!"
Hearing Xiao Wu's voice as she struggled to resist, the corners of Shangguan Hong's mouth lifted slightly.
He knew someone was about to take a beating!
As for who would take that beating, oh, it was so hard to guess...
