All Their Trump Cards

Everyone present stopped what they were doing, including Shui Xinrou and the others. The three snow-white giant swords that slowly descended from the mysterious sword formation were aimed at Tang San and the others, but the terrifying pressure they contained was something they could not ignore. It was like divine punishment. Taking this opportunity, Shui Xinrou was able to catch her breath. She was about the same level as the three Evil Soul Master from the Holy Spirit Cult. Although she had Ning Fengzhi's all-round support, she was still struggling. In particular, she did not have much experience in Soul Master combat. Most of the time, she taught students in the academy or led them to hunt for Soul Ring.

Shui Xinrou, watery eyes shimmered as she gazed at the three snow-white giant swords in the sky. She couldn't help but sigh, "The Ultimate Ice... compared to the ice attribute of the Tianshuang during the Soul Master Tournament, it's even colder. Is the ultimate not the end?"

As fellow ice-attribute Soul Master, achieving the Ultimate Attribute is the lifelong dream of every elemental Soul Master. However, limited by her own talent and the quality of her Martial Soul, even after consuming the Immortal Herb, she could only barely raise her Soul Power to the level of Titled Douluo. Her ice attribute was not sublimated. From this, we can see how terrifying Huo Wu's talent is. After consuming the Immortal Herb once, her Martial Soul Evolution, and she not only obtained a talent Soul Ring, but her fire attribute also reached the level of Ultimate Fire. Moreover, after consuming the inner core of the Ten Headed Fierce Yang Serpent, she completely suppressed Ma Hongjun's Ultimate Fire.

Once upon a time, the peerless young master in the sky, with his flowing robes, was a child who couldn't even absorb Soul Ring. Thinking back to the first time she saw Yu Tianshuang on the outskirts of the Frozen Forest, Shui Xinrou Shui Xinrou as if it were a lifetime ago. Time flies, and more than a decade has passed in the blink of an eye. For those who have reached the Titled Douluo level, more than a decade is but a fleeting moment. The scene of her teaching him and hunting Soul Ring with him is still vivid in her mind. Now, in the blink of an eye, he has grown into one of the top experts on this continent, which is truly astonishing.

Zhong Meng unleashed a surge of evil, dark purple power, wielding a jet-black Death God Scythe that swept upwards, creating a Half Moon arc of black light that collided with Yu Tianshuang's snow-white greatsword. Compared to the massive white sword, this Half Moon Slash appeared so small that even onlookers found it absurd.

And indeed, the pitch-black Half Moon Slash struck the falling tip of the snow-white greatsword, only sending up a flurry of ice shards, without stopping its descent. Upon seeing this, Zhong Meng's face showed a fleeting look of horror, then he gripped the Death God Scythe even tighter, his arm veins bulging, and stepped on a ring of black energy as he slashed at the snow-white greatsword.

Yu Yuanzhen's situation was slightly better. He clasped his hands together and opened them, from which lightning dragons continuously emerged and rushed towards the snow-white giant sword in the sky. Each lightning dragon could destroy part of the snow-white giant sword, and ice shards fell all over his world, like a beautiful winter snow scene.

However, compared to the speed at which Yu Yuanzhen destroyed the snow-white giant sword, and the enormous size of the sword itself, this was clearly insufficient to stop its downward momentum. Upon seeing this, Yu Yuanzhen's expression froze. He truly hadn't expected that, since their parting at the last battle in the imperial palace, so short a time had passed, yet this little guy, now fighting three against one, had actually forced him to use his Martial Soul Avatar and Eighth Soul Skill, and even that couldn't stop his attack. This was truly a stroke of good fortune for the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan!

No one knew that he was thinking this way. He had always been deeply attached to his family's theories, and now that he had been baptized by the Holy Spirit Cult's secret methods, although his strength had increased, this obsession had also intensified. It had now deviated from the way normal people think and become an extreme obsession in his heart.

"Thunder is the most powerful force in the world; it... can shatter everything! Heavenly Thunder Explosion, gather!"

Although Yu Yuanzhen had this thought in his heart, he also knew that the most important thing to achieve this goal was to capture the little guy in the sky who was holding the ice-blue longsword. So he would not surrender now. Seeing that the scattered lightning dragons could not break through Yu Tianshuang's attack, he simply stopped shooting the lightning dragons, put his hands together, and began to gather a blue energy ball that was raging with lightning in the center of his open hands.

However, among the three, the one who surprised them the most was Tang San. His cultivation level was the weakest among the three, only at the initial stage of Titled Douluo. However, the Golden Trident in his hand, which was covered with holy light, actually collided with the snow-white giant sword with a "bang" after being thrown from Tang San's hand. It exploded with a shockwave that shook the air and was locked in a stalemate with the snow-white giant sword. Moreover, it was slowly advancing and breaking through the snow-white giant sword.

The shockwave from the collision contained the sacred aura of the Sea God Trident, causing the affected Holy Spirit Cult Evil Soul Master to feel uncomfortable and involuntarily retreat a distance.

"Divine Skill, divine artifacts, they're truly powerful! Tang San, a newly promoted Titled Douluo- level Soul Master, is actually the most troublesome of the three..."

Just how fast is Yu Tianshuang's Soul Power recovery speed? During the Turning Nirvana attack, he had already used up all his Soul Power, but in the time it took for Tang San and the others to defend against his attack, he had already recovered one-third of his Soul Power.

However, he was not in a hurry to launch another attack. Tang San and the other two, even the most disheveled Zhong Meng, still had trump cards up their sleeves. The Turning Nirvana attack was the kind of skill that could be used without being touched, so once it was unleashed, it could be left alone. He was now waiting for them to finish off his opponent and see how they would respond.

Gu Rong was the one who had expended the least energy in the brief exchange. He was primarily a defensive fighter, and seeing Yu Tianshuang's unfathomable demeanor, he couldn't help but feel delighted. "That kid Tianshuang is really calm and collected now. His leisurely appearance is somewhat reminiscent of yours, but much more handsome than your cold-faced look, haha."

Among the people present, everyone knew that Yu Tianshuang was exceptionally talented, with an astonishingly fast Soul Power recovery speed. Although apart from Shui Xinrou, who knew the details, the others did not know that it was due to the Big Dipper Seven Origins Purple Seal and thought it was due to his own condition, but this did not stop them from watching the show and taking the time to recover the Soul Power they had just consumed.

"The Holy Spirit is with me..."

As Zhong Meng's body, wielding the Death God Scythe, came into contact with the snow-white giant sword, he was struck by immense pressure, being relentlessly pressed down from the sky to the ground inch by inch. The Seven Kill Sword Intent and the extreme cold of ice contained within it continuously eroded him. At this moment, he maintained the posture of wielding the Death God Scythe. After silently muttering a sentence, the evil aura of black and purple surged again, and strange purple patterns rapidly climbed onto his face, arms, and the skin not covered by clothing.

Zhong Meng, who was in this bizarre state, was originally the weakest of the three, but the situation was reversed in an instant. He was like a demon god. He used the Death God Scythe in his hand to defend passively, but instead suddenly exerted force and swung it out with a powerful slash. The sharp, black Half Moon Slash was unleashed again. This time, the Half Moon Slash was indestructible and its speed was so fast that it cut the snow-white greatsword in half.

"The Demonic Spirit Mark... I never imagined that something I'd only ever heard about in books would actually become a reality, appearing right before my eyes..."

Zhong Meng's performance naturally attracted everyone's attention. The learned Ning Fengzhi immediately recalled the description in a book about the Holy Spirit Cult, which was so similar to the evil patterns appearing on the surface of this person's body.

"Roar!!!"

Just as everyone was still marveling at Zhong Meng's bizarre state, a dragon's roar that resounded through the sky erupted. The violent lightning ball that Yu Yuanzhen had condensed with his hands was now pushed by him and transformed into a giant lightning dragon, crashing into the snow-white giant sword above his head. This collision completely destroyed the snow-white giant sword with unstoppable force, turning it into ice shards that scattered all over the sky.

"The True Dragon Nine Crowns... This old tyrannosaurus's strength had already inexplicably reached level 97, and was even close to breaking through to level 98. Now, with the activation of the True Dragon Nine Crowns, his strength has surged even further. He's truly amazing..."

Although Gu Rong looked down on Yu Yuanzhen and was very unhappy with him, he couldn't help but sigh in admiration when he saw Yu Yuanzhen so easily break through Yu Tianshuang's attack.

Tang San's Golden Thirteen Halberds Gone Forever, like Yu Tianshuang's Turning Nirvana, are both off-hand skills. The advantage of this type of skill is that after the attack is launched, you don't have to worry about it anymore, and you can do other things, such as continuing to attack or escaping.

However, this skill also has drawbacks. In a battle between two people, continuous output skills can be controlled by the user's own Soul Power output. Whether to continue outputting or stop attacking is up to the user. Therefore, off-hand skills are not necessarily good.

Like Yu Tianshuang's Momentary Splendor, he can continuously output Soul Power. Coupled with his terrifying Soul Power recovery speed, he can output attacks while simultaneously using his Soul Power Soul Power continue outputting attacks, unleashing two attacks using his full Soul Power.

At this moment, Tang San saw that although Yi Qu Bu Gone Forever was constantly destroying the snow-white giant sword, judging from the situation, some attacks would eventually fall on him. He had just used two Hundred Thousand Year Soul Skill in a row, and now he was using this Divine Skill. His Soul Power consumption was indeed too great. But fortunately, he had an absurd number of Soul Ring and Soul Bone, and his Soul Power recovery speed was also very fast.

"Evil Spirit Orca Left Leg Bone Skill: Orca Demon Axe!"

Among the Hundred Thousand Year Soul Skill, whether from Soul Ring or Soul Bone, they all possess one characteristic: instantaneous Soul Skill. At this moment, Tang San's left leg flashed red light, and he directly raised a spinning red giant axe towards the snow-white giant sword in the sky.

The giant red axe and the golden Sea God Trident, one on the left and one on the right, relentlessly destroyed the snow-white giant sword, quickly destroying it completely. Tang San breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this. His Purple Demon Eye had observed that Yu Tianshuang's Soul Power was almost completely exhausted after she launched that attack. The fact that she was still standing there so calmly was just a bluff.

Tang San was just about to communicate with Yu Yuanzhen and the other man, signaling them to seize this excellent opportunity to attack Yu Tianshuang, when he unexpectedly heard the man clapping his hands, looking at them with an appreciative expression, and saying, "Not bad, not bad. The three of you were actually able to block my attack, that's truly remarkable. I have to praise you. Speaking of which, you really have a lot of tricks up your sleeves. But I wonder if you can withstand the next attack."

Zhong Meng himself had been defeated by him before, and knew that this kid's strength couldn't be measured by ordinary Soul Douluo standards. And that was indeed the case; today, Yu Tianshuang had shown him the power to overpower the three of them. But no matter what, he himself was only a Soul Douluo; how could he possibly have so much Soul Power? Thinking of this, he shook his head and muttered to himself:

"He still has energy left? Impossible! For a Soul Douluo to achieve such a powerful attack is already astonishing. How could he possibly still have Soul Power to continue attacking..."

Yu Yuanzhen was very close to him. Upon hearing his words, he couldn't help but sneer and say disdainfully, "Hmph, ignorant rat! How could an ordinary person like you possibly fathom or measure the genius disciple of my Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, who appears only once every thousand years?"

Upon hearing this, Zhong Meng and Tang San couldn't help but frown again, thinking to themselves, "Brother, which side are you on? Is it really okay to brag about the enemy like this?"

While outsiders who receive baptism from the Holy Spirit Cult experience a significant increase in strength, there are also side effects. Zhong Meng now understands this and can't help but curse under his breath, "Damn it, outsiders who are baptized by the Holy Spirit will more or less amplify their inner obsessions. This Yu Yuanzhen usually seems unaffected, just like a normal person, but I never expected his obsession to be Yu Tianshuang. No wonder he insisted on taking Yu Tianshuang with him during the transaction, so that's why..."

Gu Rong also felt that Yu Tianshuang's purpose in doing and saying this was to bluff and buy time. His impression of Yu Tianshuang was still based on her infallible strategies during the Soul Master Tournament. Little did he know that Yu Tianshuang time had long abandoned all schemes and tricks and relied entirely on absolute power to deal with everything.

Gu Rong thought to himself, then transmitted his voice to Sword Douluo beside him. "Tianshuang is definitely trying to buy time right now. He came from Spirit City, so he definitely didn't come alone. His reinforcements are probably on their way. Old Sword, Tianshuang Shuang is probably only holding on with his last bit of Soul Power. We have to do everything we can to buy him time. Even if we die, if Rongrong and the others can reach Spirit City safely, we will have no regrets..."

Sword Douluo knew that although his grandson's strength could not be measured by the standards of an ordinary Soul Douluo, he had already exhausted most of the Soul Power of the three strongest opponents and delayed them for so long. His arrogant words now were probably meant to intimidate them and make them hesitate to act. If they saw through his ruse, he would really have to fight to the death. Fortunately, his Soul Power consumption had not been too great, and he should be able to hold out until the reinforcements from Spirit City arrived.

"Hmph, Yu Yuanzhen, you're absolutely right about that. They really are quite ignorant. Whether they're bluffing or not, just wait patiently for me to freeze them..."

Yu Tianshuang was naturally unaware of what the people present were thinking. Although he could roughly glean some clues from their expressions, he was too lazy to think about it. He would simply use his true and absolute power to explain everything.
