With just a moment's distraction, the spear pierced through the lightning and headed straight for Tang Xiao's throat...
Chapter 221 The Heart of the Strong
"Uncle!"
Tang San roared, his face filled with disbelief.
He could hardly believe what he was seeing. His uncle, the super strongman known as the Howling Sky Douluo, was being suppressed by Lu Yuan, who was the same age as him and even younger!
How is this possible? How could someone as old as Lu Yuan possess such great strength? Is the gap between me and him really that big?
Such a gap is like that between a Soul Master and an ant.
Tang San, who had regained his confidence due to the mutation of the Blue Silver Grass, completely lost all hope at this moment. His pride was shattered, and he even began to doubt whether he, as a twin martial soul possessor, was truly a genius.
If I were truly a genius, why would I be left far behind by Lu Yuan, and perhaps I wouldn't even be qualified to fight him now?
Seeing the spear about to pierce his uncle's throat, Tang San didn't dare to make a move. The aura emanating from Lu Yuan alone made him feel a life-or-death crisis. He only dared to give verbal warnings and didn't dare to move at all throughout the entire process.
He had a premonition that if he didn't move, he might still survive, but if he made any move, he would probably be pierced through by Lu Yuan's spear in an instant and then lifted up.
"You damn thing, get out of here!"
"The Nine Absolute Techniques of Haotian: The Ultimate Technique of the Word 'Sweep'!"
Seeing the lightning spear rapidly thrusting towards him, Tang Xiao's eyes flashed with ferocity. His soul power surged continuously, soaring into the sky and even shattering the dark clouds of the Slaughter City.
An invisible force of vibration continuously emanated from the Clear Sky Hammer in Tang Xiao's hand.
The thunder spear in Lu Yuan's hand also suffered the fate of being shaken apart.
Just as the shockwave dissipated, a massive and heavy Haotian Hammer slammed directly towards Lu Yuan. The power contained in this strike was clearly intended to severely injure Lu Yuan in one blow, or even kill him outright.
"Not bad, then let's retaliate in kind!"
"But I know this move too!"
The Haotian Sect was personally destroyed by Lu Yuan and others, so he certainly couldn't possibly not know the Haotian Sect's ultimate techniques.
He even spent some time researching before entering the Killing City.
To be honest, Tang Chen is definitely a true genius for creating so many original soul skills with a martial soul like the Clear Sky Sect, which is purely based on strength.
The Haotian Nine Absolutes is the culmination of all of them, comparable to the Dugu Nine Swords in Jin Yong's world, with each of the nine unique skills being quite remarkable.
With Lu Yuan's current strength, learning it will naturally be no problem, and the spear is just right for him to unleash the Nine Absolute Techniques of Haotian.
The thunder spear emanated continuous vibrations, directly shaking Tang Xiao's Haotian Hammer.
Seeing this, Tang Xiao was so angry that he almost spat out a mouthful of blood.
These were all the unique skills of his Haotian Sect, but now they were being used by his enemy, who was even fighting him, the sect leader of Haotian Sect, to the death.
Is there anything more humiliating than being killed by something from your own sect?
"No, I have to help my uncle!"
At this moment, Tang San looked at the stalemate in the battle, a fierce glint flashed in his eyes, and he suppressed his fear. A dark light flickered in his hand, and three long needles soaked in black and purple aura appeared in his hand.
Looking at the long needle in his hand, Tang San's eyes were filled with confidence.
As members of the Tang Clan, they are most skilled in poisons and hidden weapons, and the hidden weapon in his hand at this moment is ranked among the top in the Tang Clan's hidden weapons.
Its name is the "Soul-Chasing and Life-Taking Yama's Decree". As the saying goes, if Yama wants you to die at midnight, who dares to keep you alive until dawn?
This Yama's Decree was something Tang San spent countless hours and effort to create, and now he only has three of them in his possession.
He would never have used such a precious hidden weapon against an ordinary enemy.
But there's nothing that can be done now. After all, even my uncle is being suppressed. If my uncle really dies at Lu Yuan's hands, I'm afraid I'll also die.
Since he was going to die anyway, Tang San didn't want to sit idly by and wait for his fate, so he had to use the Yama's Decree.
Taking a deep breath and sensing the barely perceptible aura emanating from Lu Yuan, Tang San knew he only had one chance. If he failed, given Lu Yuan's speed, he would likely be instantly reduced to charcoal and killed on the spot.
Clenching the Yama's Decree in his hand, Tang San didn't hesitate any longer and immediately shot it directly at Lu Yuan.
As the Yama's Decree was fired from the Xuan Yu Hand Cannon, it instantly transformed into a black, ghostly light in the air, disappearing in a flash, and was about to pierce through Lu Yuan's body.
Tang San was breathing rapidly. At this moment, he desperately wanted to succeed because he was afraid that he would die here.
But reality is always full of despair. Just as the King of Hell was about to approach Lu Yuan, bolts of lightning surged from his body.
The surging lightning transformed into a lightning net, directly blocking the Yama's Decree from entering, while electromagnetic forces tightly attracted it.
"This is the so-called Yama's Decree. It is highly poisonous, and even an ordinary Title Douluo would probably have difficulty coping if hit by it."
Using the recoil from his collision with Tang Xiao, Lu Yuan easily grasped the three Yama's Decrees in his hand. He played with them for a while with a smile, then casually put them into his spatial soul tool.
The poison on the Yama's Decree is clearly a mixture of toxins. If we take this back to Dugu Bo and Yang Wudi, we might be able to mass-produce Yama's Decrees.
"It's rude to come and not reciprocate!"
"die!"
Lu Yuan's eyes were icy cold; he hadn't forgotten that Tang San had intended to ambush him.
If that's the case, then go die!
Golden lightning pierced through the heavens and earth, striking directly at Tang San.
The aura of thunder spread far and wide, its destructive power causing many onlookers to feel terrified and unable to stand, simply by its fluctuations.
"Damn it, how dare you attack a junior? Don't you have any sense of the heart of a true champion?"
Enraged, Tang Xiao flashed and appeared directly beside Tang San. However, the speed of lightning was so fast that he could only barely reach Tang San's side to confront the lightning falling from the sky head-on with his physical body.
"Young man, Tang San and I seem to be about the same age, or maybe I'm even a little younger than him?"
"Moreover, your Haotian Sect is far ahead in terms of sneak attacks. Back when my cultivation was low, Tang Hao attacked me directly. Why didn't you talk about the heart of a strong person back then?"
"Sometimes you can't be too hypocritical, or you'll just become a joke!"
Lu Yuan's tone was full of amusement as he watched Tang Xiao being struck by lightning and turned completely black, coughing up blood.
Chapter 222 Killing Tang Xiao, Tang Chen's Strange Behavior
"Hmph, in the end you're just relying on the rules of this place. If my soul skills weren't unavailable, you wouldn't stand a chance against me."
Tang Xiao felt the constant ravages of lightning within his body, and an embarrassed expression appeared on his face. He could clearly feel his body weakening under Lu Yuan's attacks.
If this fight continues, he might really die.
Now that only Xiao San and I are left in the Haotian Sect, we cannot die here no matter what.
Even if I were to perish here today, I absolutely cannot let Xiao San perish here. With his twin martial souls, he still has unlimited potential for the future.
He had already exhausted his potential, and any desire for revenge in the future would be nothing but wishful thinking.
Having made up his mind, Tang Xiao didn't hesitate and immediately swung the Haotian Hammer in his hand, smashing it directly at Lu Yuan.
"Well done!"
Lu Yuan laughed loudly, thrusting out his spear with overwhelming force, directly stopping Tang Xiao's attack.
Lightning crackled and hammers trembled. In the battle between the two supreme experts, the destruction of the Slaughter City was not just a tiny bit; the entire Slaughter City trembled continuously, and streets were destroyed one after another by the two.
Such aftershocks of a battle could not possibly go unchecked.
If Lu Yuan and Tang Xiao are allowed to continue fighting like this, it probably won't be long before the entire Killing City is completely turned into wasteland.
"Stop immediately! I am Ilant, a servant of the King of Slaughter, and I have been ordered by the King of Slaughter to stop!"
A figure clad in black iron armor approached from afar, his soul power surging, clearly indicating he was a powerful expert at the Title Douluo level.
It should be noted that the King of Slaughter's subordinates are capable of using soul skills in this City of Slaughter.
However, neither Tang Xiao nor Lu Yuan paid any attention to this Ilante at this moment, after all, he was just a fallen guy who had only recently entered the ranks of the title through killing.
This guy's combat power is probably not even as good as that of a powerful Soul Douluo. He's not worth mentioning at all, let alone stopping the fight between the two of them.
"Damn it, Ninth Soul Skill: Bloodstained Sky!"
Seeing that the battle between the two was still going on, the constant collision of soul power fluctuations even made him, a titled Douluo who could use soul skills, feel a chill run down his spine.
This made him both surprised and furious. After becoming a Title Douluo, his status in the City of Slaughter was second only to the King of Slaughter. How could he not be angry at being ignored like this?
At this moment, as nine spirit rings appeared behind him—three yellow, three purple, and three black—the ninth spirit ring, which was probably over 70,000 years old, also began to flash continuously.
As the spirit ring was activated, a thick blood mist began to condense in the air, and drops of blood rained down like sharp swords.
"roll!"
Lu Yuan and Tang Xiao both roared, and their spears and Clear Sky Hammers struck the titled Douluo of the City of Slaughter together.
Under the attack of two top experts from the continent, this newly appointed Soul Master didn't even have time to scream before he was directly blown apart, his blood raining down, and he perished completely.
"Bastard!"
A loud shout rang out, and a scarlet figure burst out from the deepest part of the City of Slaughter.
His body was so magnificent, and his blood-red armor was filled with a ferocious aura of bloodlust.
This man is none other than the King of Slaughter!
Thinking of his identity as the King of Slaughter, Lu Yuan's expression remained unchanged. He had already put away the lightning spear in his hand. Looking at Tang Xiao, lightning flashed in his hand, and bolts of lightning filled with destruction kept intertwining together, and a lightning blade was thus forcibly shaped.
"Original Soul Skill: Thunder God's Heaven-Splitting Slash!"
cut!
With a flash of lightning, a blade of pure lightning slashed straight toward Tang Xiao.
This strike even included the King of Slaughter.
Tang Xiao was so shaken the moment the King of Slaughter appeared that he could no longer maintain his composure and only managed to react after Lu Yuan used his soul skill.
He tried to stop him, but it was too late.
The Haotian Hammer was barely raised when it was instantly struck directly by the Dao Blade Qi.
Although the power of Thunder God's Heaven-Splitting Slash is not as great as Thunder God's Heavenly Flash, it is Lu Yuan's original soul skill and can truly be called a trump card soul skill.
This move is especially well-suited to the divine power within him, and this time, in order to kill Tang Xiao, Lu Yuan can be said to have directly used a large amount of the Thunder God's divine power within him.
With the aura of Thor's divine power amplified, Lu Yuan's attack was devastating, almost comparable to the explosion of a little boy.
The entire Killing City was almost completely destroyed in an instant, and countless fallen soul masters died tragically.
Lu Yuan felt no psychological burden whatsoever about this. If he had any psychological burden after killing people in the City of Slaughter, then he really wouldn't be suitable to become a Soul Master.
Tang Xiao was instantly cut in half at the waist, and the King of Slaughter was also cleaved away by a single blow, crashing to the ground with blood spilling from his mouth. Crimson and dark purple auras mingled on his body.
The dark purple aura initially held the upper hand, but with Lu Yuan's strike, the situation was completely reversed.
The King of Slaughter's originally malevolent eyes seemed to have regained their clarity, and he even showed a bit more humanity than before, instead of the beastly feeling he had initially possessed.
"Grandfather, is that you?!"
Tang Xiao, who had been brutally cut in half at the waist, was now struggling to crawl toward the King of Slaughter.
Blood kept flowing from half of his body, leaving a trail of blood on the ground as he crawled.
"You are, Xiao'er!"
The King of Slaughter had just regained consciousness when he heard the familiar voice. He turned his head and immediately began to breathe heavily, panting heavily, his entire being consumed by rage.
At this moment, he was no longer the King of Slaughter, but Tang Chen!
The Clear Sky Sect has been missing for many years. The Limit Douluo who has been living in the Slaughter City under the control of the Crimson Nine-Headed Bat King is a true existence standing at the pinnacle of the continent.
However, years of physical depletion have left him with only one-tenth of his cultivation level remaining.
"Grandfather, hurry!"
"Avenge our sect!"
"Take the mistress away!"
Tang Xiao's hoarse voice kept coming out of his mouth. He had just been shaken by Tang Chen. Otherwise, with his cultivation level, he would not have been so easily cut in half by Lu Yuan.
Although he was on the verge of death, he had no regrets, because he believed that the Haotian Sect had hope of revenge!
Although my grandfather feels weak now, he will surely be able to return to his peak condition after a period of rest.
