Douluo II: The nanny is killing people indiscriminately!

Chapter 107 Semifinals 3
Suddenly, Jiang Peng swung the Heaven-Shaking Axe in the distance. The powerful Heaven-Shaking Axe changed direction in the air, circled behind Ma Rulong, and slashed down heavily with its blade!

His first spirit ring flickered quietly. Unlike the light that a normal spirit master would flash when releasing a spirit skill, this spirit ring's light was so faint that it was almost imperceptible, and the flickering frequency was slow.

It was the move he used to defeat Mika just now!
Generally speaking, the more advanced a Soul Master's Soul Skills are, the stronger they become, because the age of the attached Soul Rings is higher. However, Jiang Peng's situation is special. His first Soul Skill is a strange control skill that controls his own Martial Soul.

The Heaven-Shaking Axe is a top-grade offensive weapon spirit, and its inherent destructive power is comparable to the number one weapon spirit on the continent: the Clear Sky Hammer. Even without using its spirit skills, its attack power is quite terrifying.

When Jiang Peng was fusing his first spirit ring, he accidentally chose the wrong spirit beast, which resulted in this control spirit skill.

With his genius mind and solid basic skills, coupled with the guidance of the teachers at Di'ao Academy, he managed to find a unique path and create a unique attack method that he called the Eighteen Dragon-Slaying Slashes.

The most powerful aspect of the Eighteen Dragon-Slaying Slashes is that it is not a soul skill, yet it is even better than a soul skill, and it can be used in combination with other soul skills. By activating the first soul skill to control the martial soul, he can wield the Heaven-Shaking Axe to unleash up to eighteen consecutive slashes.

This trump card, used for the first time, severely injured Mika. Jiang Peng wielded the Heaven-Shaking Axe, creating afterimages and unleashing eighteen blood-red light blades.

The Soul Guidance Detection Mirror accurately analyzed the trajectory of each light blade. Ma Rulong handled it with ease, quickly retreating and dodging, causing all eighteen light blades to miss.

Enraged by this, Jiang Peng's sixth spirit ring, symbolizing his strongest combat power, suddenly shone brightly: "Ma Rulong, taste my strongest attack!"

He couldn't drag this out any longer. The battle with Mika had consumed 40% of his soul power, and he had missed all eighteen Dragon-Slaying Slashes. Dragging it out would obviously be even more disadvantageous for him. If he could finish the battle quickly now, he could still be in top fighting condition to fight the enemy.

Jiang Peng swung the Heaven-Shaking Axe around once, and a series of ear-piercing explosions rang out. Thick black air currents surged out of the axe almost frantically, like a black hole, swallowing the surrounding light. The audience below the stage, looking from a distance, couldn't help but feel a tremor and fear based on instinct.

The black aura filled the arena, and Ma Rulong's expression turned serious. He did not try to dodge. A strong suction force came from the Heaven-Shaking Axe. Although it was not enough to restrict a person's movement, it allowed Jiang Peng to forcibly lock onto his position in the thick black aura.

An indescribable, terrifying power suddenly erupted, causing large cracks to appear on the floor beneath Ma Rulong's feet. Blazing black flames spewed out from the cracks. At that moment, Jiang Peng leaped up and landed, his Heaven-Shaking Axe descending from the sky with a dazzling black tail flame.

Dark Demon Shakes the Sky, the sixth soul skill of the Shaking Axe, single-target attack: Summon Hellfire, Explode Shaking the Sky's Fury, Dark Lock-On, Break, Break, Break.

“A Soul Master is doomed to lose if he gets close!” Jiang Peng approached Ma Rulong with unstoppable momentum, and in a daze, he seemed to see the dawn of victory.

Ma Rulong conjured a small, hollowed-out golden-red sphere in his hand, and an invincible shield opened up, impervious to the fiercest hellfire. The Heaven-Shaking Axe descending from the sky struck the golden-red shield with a sharp, ear-piercing roar, as if it would collapse the arena.

"Crack..." A tiny crack appeared at the top of the golden shield.

A hint of admiration appeared on Ma Rulong's face. The invincible shield could withstand the strongest attack of an eight-ring Soul Douluo for at least three seconds, but it showed signs of damage under the attack of his sixth Soul Skill.

The black flame storm ended, the invincible shield disintegrated and disappeared, and it was time for Ma Rulong to retaliate.

A smirk played on his lips, and over fifty metal cannons of varying sizes extended from his body, revealing themselves. Most striking was the 1.5-meter-long, 15-centimeter-caliber soul-guided cannon he carried on his shoulder; no one could discern how he deployed these soul-guided devices—they seemed to have grown out of thin air. First, a red orb of light shot from the central red cannon barrel, about the size of a bowl. At such close range, Ma Rulong was indeed in danger, and Jiang Peng, too, had no time to escape his counterattack—the attack struck instantly!
The red orb of light did not cause the explosive damage he had imagined; it simply rested lightly on his chest. Just as Jiang Peng was feeling puzzled, he found himself unable to move, his entire body frozen in mid-air.

Then, all the metal cannons on Ma Rulong's body erupted simultaneously, and multicolored beams of light rushed towards Jiang Peng, with dozens of level-six soul-guided rays converging on him.

Jiang Peng's body was thrown into the air and only stopped after hitting the protective barrier in the distance. After struggling slightly, he completely lost consciousness and slid off the platform along the barrier.

The match ended with Ma Rulong securing a crushing victory.

“Mika used a soul tool made by someone else in order to restrain you. I do not agree with his approach, because only by using a soul tool made by oneself can one become the strongest soul tool master.” Ma Rulong glanced at Jiang Peng calmly, showing no arrogance or impatience, displaying the demeanor of a strong person.

Huang Jinxu announced with a stern face: "The winner is Ma Rulong!"

Jiang Peng's defeat caused a solemn silence throughout the arena. On the Di'ao Academy side, the team members looked ashen-faced. If their captain couldn't defeat Ma Rulong, could they possibly succeed?

The team members that Di'ao Academy sent out later were no match for Ma Rulong. He changed several of his commonly used soul tools, and with his smooth and skillful operation, no one in the Di'ao team could deal with him. In the end, they suffered a crushing defeat, and the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy advanced to the finals.

Wang Yan of Shrek Academy was shocked. He knew that Di'ao Academy was very likely to lose, but he did not expect to lose so badly.

After watching Ma Rulong's matches, he directly felt the strength of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy.

Ma Rulong and Jiang Peng are both genius Soul Emperors. Jiang Peng's soul power is even slightly higher than Ma Rulong's, but Ma Rulong uses a soul tool to control the rhythm of the entire battle.

Moreover, Ma Rulong had not yet used his full strength.

"Let's go back." Wang Yan got up and left the rest area, and Huo Yuhao and the others quickly followed.

……

The match ended early today, and the Sun & Moon team returned to their hotel to relax and rest in preparation for tomorrow's finals.

While enjoying afternoon tea, Mr. Ma took the opportunity to adjust the tactics for tomorrow's match.

"Tomorrow's team battle will feature Lian Chen, Xiao Hongchen, Meng Hongchen, Ma Rulong, Lin Xi, Mi Jia, and Xiao Xiafeng. Meng Hongchen, don't rush to reveal your toad poison ability. Your stage will be in the individual battles."

Meng Hongchen followed Elder Ma's instructions and nodded in response, "Yes."

Lian Chen raised an objection: "Old Ma, why don't we use Xiao Meng's toad venom to wipe out Shrek Academy in one fell swoop during the team battle?"
