I am a mortal who has achieved enlightenment through burning my secrets

Chapter 288 The Power of the Soul-Destroying Bell

Countless petal-like blades descended from the sky. Xiao Wuji used the Heavenly Gang and Earthly Fiend Steps to dodge and weave through the rain of blades, using the force of the blades to attack Chrysanthemum Douluo.

The Heavenly Gang and Earthly Fiend Steps actually have nothing to do with the Heavenly Gang and Earthly Fiends. To put it simply, it's just a light-body technique that can be used in two different situations: on the ground and in the air. After all, he can fly, so naturally, the situation in the air must also be taken into account!

However, since he believes that the Heavenly Gang and Earthly Fiend Steps are the strongest, they must have their own special features!
The Heavenly Dipper and Earthly Fiends Footwork encompasses everything; in terms of speed, explosiveness, and agility, it ranks highest among all light-body techniques. It can be said that with this footwork alone, he is invincible!
Seeing that Xiao Wuji was about to get close, Chrysanthemum Douluo quickly retreated. Although he was a power-attack type Soul Master, close combat was indeed a bit difficult for him!
"Third Soul Skill, Aura Barrier!"

This is a control-type soul skill similar to a spatial barrier. It can form a barrier with flower petals to restrict the enemy's movement, making it a powerful tool against agility-type soul masters.

Xiao Wuji had no good way to deal with soul skills that were instantaneous and could track him continuously. He could easily break free from the restrictions of the thousand-year soul skill, but every time he broke free from a barrier, a new barrier would restrict him, greatly slowing down his speed.

"Fifth Soul Skill, Lightning Vine!"

His martial spirit moved with him like flower petals, and violent lightning erupted from it. The lightning danced among the dodder vines, transforming his surroundings into a vast expanse of thunder!
The raging lightning tore apart the petals that formed the barrier, making it impossible for the barrier to form again.

After breaking through Chrysanthemum Douluo's soul skill, Xiao Wuji directly withdrew his Dodder Martial Soul and instead summoned a bell, which he held in his hand.

"Twin martial souls!!"

Upon seeing this, Chrysanthemum Douluo exclaimed, "This talent surpasses even His Holiness the Pope! This child must not be allowed to live!"
"Chrysanthemum Pass, I'm giving you one last chance. Retreat now, and I can pretend nothing happened! Otherwise, you won't be able to take any of these people back with you!"

"Kid, with your talent, I would truly regret it if I let you leave alive!"

Chrysanthemum Douluo's tone was unusually serious, because he knew that if he missed this opportunity, he would never have another chance!

"Chrysanthemum Pass, look carefully, they all died because of you!"

Seeing that Chrysanthemum Douluo was unwilling to retreat, Xiao Wuji directly activated his third and fifth spirit rings.

Ding--

clang--

Ding--

clang--

The extremely piercing sound of the bell echoed through the canyon, lingering in the ears for a long time!

When the first bell rang, all the masked men in the canyon with cultivation levels below Soul Douluo froze, falling to the ground due to the momentum of their previous movements.

When the second bell rang, the already severely injured Golden Eagle Soul Douluo and Violent Bear Soul Douluo also perished in the Northwest.

Then came the long, persistent echo, which caused a burning sensation in Chrysanthemum Douluo's soul.

Xiao Wuji's mental strength was no less than that of an ordinary Title Douluo. Soul Masters below the Soul Douluo level had no ability to resist his move.

If Contra is not injured, he can only hold out for a little longer at most!

With the support of the fifth soul skill, the sonic barrier, even Chrysanthemum Douluo, whose mental strength was above his, was significantly affected.

If the two had equal mental strength, Xiao Wuji could have taken Chrysanthemum Douluo's life with just this one combo.

However, accurately killing each masked man was extremely difficult for Xiao Wuji, requiring exceptional self-control. If the men in black hadn't yet entered the valley, it would have been easier; simply establishing a safe zone would suffice. But now, with everyone engaged in battle with the Soul Master Academy's teachers and students, the difficulty had increased exponentially. If he hadn't learned distraction control from Ning Rongrong's memories and reached the level of "One Thought Three Thousand" within Xiao Wu's illusory memory, success would have been impossible. Therefore, after only two rings, a fine layer of sweat appeared on his forehead.

"Do we really have a chance of winning against someone like that?"

This was the only thought in the minds of the surviving students. The finals hadn't even started yet, but the champion seemed to have already been decided.

"A divine skill! A divine skill!"

Ning Fengzhi, perched atop the carriage in the distance, was practically burning with rage as he looked at Xiao Wuji! So this was the true terror of the Divine Child? At only level sixty-something, he had already achieved invincibility below the title level!
If he were to shake the bell in his hand in Spirit City, he could probably wipe out everyone in Spirit City except for the Title Douluos! This invisible and swift method is even more powerful than the already dead Dugu Bo!

This further solidified his resolve to sell his daughter for personal gain.

Merchants are driven by profit; as long as the profit is high enough, they dare to trample on any law or morality. This also applies to Ning Fengzhi. His previous procrastination was simply because he hadn't yet seen a sufficiently high profit margin!
"what--"

"Damn you brat!"

He only had a headache for a moment, and as a result, his entire army was wiped out. Now, even if he successfully completed the mission, he would have a hard time explaining it when he returned!

Switching back to his first spirit, Xiao Wuji's spirit power surged around him, creating gusts of wind. He looked at Chrysanthemum Douluo and asked again, "I'll give you one more chance. If you want to live, leave now!"

"If you want to die, then I'll send you on your way. Don't worry, my gun is fast, you won't feel any pain!"

"Kid, you'd better survive first!"

Chrysanthemum Douluo made a delicate gesture with his hands and brought them together above his head. His seventh and ninth spirit rings flashed in succession, and a magnificent chrysanthemum unfolded in mid-air.

"Ninth Soul Skill: Chrysanthemums wither, wounds cover the ground, and the heart of the lovesick is broken!"

The giant chrysanthemum exploded with a bang, turning into a rain of flowers in mid-air, and driven by soul power, it swept towards Xiao Wuji!

These petals may look as beautiful as flowers, but in reality, each one is like an indestructible blade. One or two petals may not be much, but so many blades could kill him even with scraping!
"The Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum truly lives up to its name, possessing the power to reach the heavens and the indestructibility of Vajra!"

"If we find a few more powerful spirit rings, there might even be a chance to develop it into the ultimate metal!"

A fierce wind swept across his face, but Xiao Wuji's expression remained unchanged. No matter how powerful the Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum was, it was still a plant-type martial soul. And as long as it was a plant-type martial soul, it was under his jurisdiction!
"Second Soul Skill, Parasite!"

"First Soul Skill: Life Drain!"

"Fourth Soul Skill: Hardness and Softness!"

The spores that had previously spread out due to the surge of soul power now came into play, evenly dispersing into the air despite being invisible.

Whenever a petal is about to reach within fifty meters of him, it is always enveloped by the dodder that suddenly grows out, and then its life force, soul power, and the golden, indestructible energy on it are drained!

The petals were devoured, turning into ashes and scattering. The dodder vines that had enveloped them fell like golden balls, crashing onto the carport with a loud thud!
