I, Xiao Yan, Am Just Tough!
"*Soul Severing Strike! This is a Soul Skill?!*"
Xiao Yan hadn't expected Soul Skills to be like this, resembling both Dou Techniques and Soul Skills! The Soul Clan's development and advancement of Soul Skills had actually reached this stage! They had even combined them with Dou Techniques!!
Through the collision of weapons, the soul attack could be transmitted through vibrations, creating a fatal Soul Severing Strike that was impossible to defend against! *Boom!* Xiao Yan couldn't block this strike at all, and the terrifying force pressed him into the wall of the pit.
"Heh heh, it seems you understand a little bit. I thought the outside world had already forgotten what Soul Skills are." Hun Yucun fiercely suppressed the hilt of his blade, pinning Xiao Yan firmly beneath the Mystic Heavy Ruler, not giving him any chance to escape.
As long as he landed one more strike, he could definitely shatter Xiao Yan's soul into oblivion! Their Soul Clan was most skilled in using souls, which was why they were among the best of the Ancient Eight Clans.
"Goodbye, bumpkin. Next time, remember to accept suggestions from others; perhaps they have good intentions." With a buzzing sound, Hun Yucun's endless greatsword emitted a soul light, preparing to deliver the final blow to Xiao Yan.
Xiao Yan sneered, his eyes not showing the slightest hint of despair: "Don't underestimate the Dou Techniques of the outside world too much. Who doesn't know a Mystic High-Rank Dou Technique? You frog in a well!"
"*Eight Extremities Collapse! Over the Mountain Strike!!*"
Xiao Yan had been secretly gathering strength for this moment, his five fingers spreading open from a clenched fist.
As a low roar echoed in his mind, Xiao Yan's aura suddenly became as sharp as a drawn sword. The fierce jingqi at his palm actually created sharp kuangfeng of Dou Qi.
Sensing the sudden, extremely terrifying jingqi from Xiao Yan, Hun Yucun's wildly laughing face instantly changed. He hadn't expected that Xiao Yan could unleash such a powerful attack. This country bumpkin from the outside world actually knew a Mystic High-Rank Dou Technique!
Moreover, this Dou Technique was clearly cultivated to mastery! He was only an Eight-Star Dou Zhe! Even the disciples of their Soul Clan needed several years, or even a decade, to cultivate a Mystic High-Rank Dou Technique to mastery. Could it be that you started practicing when you were still babbling?!
Hun Yucun hurriedly canceled his Dou Technique, gathering all his Dou Qi in front of him to form a thickened Dou Qi Gauze Armor.
With a loud *bang!*, Xiao Yan's palm solidly struck the Mystic Heavy Ruler.
A force that penetrated through the body heavily struck Hun Yucun, instantly making his body feel as if it had been fiercely hit. An invisible jingqi burst out from the point of contact.
Huff! Hun Yucun was directly sent flying into the air by the palm strike, and the remaining hidden jingqi frantically bombarded the Dou Qi Gauze Armor.
"I didn't expect you to know such profound Dou Techniques. I truly underestimated you!" Hun Yucun stared at Xiao Yan, who was walking out of the pit, with a gloomy expression.
This attack had even cracked his Dou Qi Gauze Armor. Hun Yucun's pupils were filled with rage. He couldn't imagine the extent to which he would be ridiculed back in the clan if he were to be defeated by a country bumpkin from the outside world! He tightly gripped the greatsword in his right hand, wiped away a trace of blood from the corner of his mouth with his left hand, and roared, "Bumpkin! You will definitely die today!!"
With a ferocious roar, Hun Yucun charged forward, the greatsword in his hand emitting waves of cold air. Since the Soul Tremor Blade's Soul Severing Strike failed to kill you with one blow, then I'll just deliver another one!
Coupled with the effect of the Dou Qi Gauze Armor, the black-gold greatsword brewed a terrifying jingqi and soul power that made Xiao Yan's expression change drastically.
Hun Yucun swung the sword and slashed fiercely at Xiao Yan. Judging by this momentum, not to mention being hit, even if he blocked it with the Mystic Heavy Ruler, the even more terrifying Soul Severing Strike would definitely cleave Xiao Yan's soul in half, killing him on the spot!
The intense pressure of the wind made Xiao Yan's breathing slightly difficult. Xiao Yan understood that he couldn't be struck by this Soul Tremor Blade again, no matter what. That Soul Severing Strike was simply too terrifying!
Xiao Yan gritted his teeth tightly. This life-or-death situation activated his powerful combat instincts, and at the critical moment, he used the Mystic Heavy Ruler and the hidden force of the Eight Extremities Collapse to skillfully strike the weak point of the Soul Tremor Blade, deflecting the strike.
"What?! Is this luck?" Hun Yucun felt that the skillful hidden force had just hit the weak point of his Dou Technique, causing his Soul Severing Strike to be shattered before it could pass through the Mystic Heavy Ruler.
Even Xiao Yan himself hadn't realized that, at that moment of life and death, his soul power had actually improved a little, allowing him to sense the weak points of Dou Techniques.
He unintentionally applied the techniques of using soul power to control fire in alchemy, using soul power to find the medicinal effects of herbs, and removing harmful substances to combat.
He saw the condensation point of soul power, the 'point' where the black-gold greatsword concentrated soul power! "It's just a bit of luck!"
Xiao Yan sneered and said, "Then you can try and see if it's luck."
Hun Yucun didn't believe it and once again used the Soul Tremor Blade to charge towards Xiao Yan.
But the result was still the same. Xiao Yan used the Eight Extremities Collapse to strike the Mystic Heavy Ruler, and the hidden force of the Eight Extremities Collapse just shattered the soul power condensed on the black-gold greatsword!
This fusion of Dou Technique and Soul Skill was indeed caught off guard the first time, but after several encounters, Xiao Yan had more or less seen the weakness of this move.
The Soul Tremor Blade was very similar to the Mystic Low-Rank sword technique Dou Technique that Hun Yucun had used at the beginning. It was more like the Soul Severing Strike was added to the foundation of this sword technique, using the power of the sword technique to enhance the power of the Soul Severing Strike.
The power of the Soul Severing Strike had been enhanced, but frankly speaking, the sword technique was still only at the standard of a Mystic Low-Rank, and it wasn't very profound. If Xiao Yan's cultivation wasn't so far behind, he wouldn't even need to rely on the Eight Extremities Collapse to increase his strength. He could have dodged this simple attack with his soul power perception and footwork.
No matter how strong the attack was, no matter how strange the Soul Severing Strike was, it was meaningless if it couldn't hit anyone.
Unlike Xiao Yan's cold sneer, Hun Yucun was already cursing inwardly. The weakness of the Soul Tremor Blade was indeed obvious, but usually, the soul of someone who had been struck by this blade would already be gone, or at the very least, they would be mentally deranged. Who would have thought that Xiao Yan, this freak, would be fine after taking a blow when caught off guard! "Damn it!" *Boom!* Hun Yucun slashed the sword on the ground. This time, Xiao Yan didn't even resist and easily dodged it.
"My Soul Clan can't possibly lose to an outsider bumpkin like you! Absolutely impossible!" Suddenly, the blood in Hun Yucun's body boiled frantically. In the next second, his Dou Qi continuously grew stronger.
Seven-Star Dou Shi! Eight-Star Dou Shi! Nine-Star Dou Shi! Peak of Nine-Star Dou Shi!! The soul gauze armor on Hun Yucun's body actually showed signs of transforming into armor! You must know, Dou Qi Transformation Armor was something that only a Da Dou Shi could use!
"Secret technique!? A secret technique related to bloodline!" Xiao Yan's eyes were solemn. He had also seen some secret techniques that temporarily increased strength in his Storage Ring, but these secret techniques had their own conditions for increasing strength, so Xiao Yan had not been able to learn them.
"Being able to witness the Dou Di Bloodline is enough for you to die with a smile! Go to hell!"
Xiao Yan was shocked inwardly. He couldn't dodge this strike! He didn't know what this Dou Di Bloodline secret technique was, but what was certain was that Hun Yucun had increased not only his cultivation but also his soul power!
The Eight Extremities Collapse's hidden force definitely can't shake the condensed Soul power! After struggling for a while, a surge of fury finally welled up in Xiao Yan's heart. A sinister look flashed across his face as he took a Qi Recovery Pill from his Storage Ring and threw it into his mouth, his hands gripping the Mystic Heavy Ruler tightly! "Then let's see if you can withstand my heatwave first, or if my Soul can withstand your blade!"
"Flame Splitting Tsunami Ruler!"
