Douluo: The Unrivaled Demon Lord

Chapter 112 Bloodstained Snow Night ②
The wind and snow covered all footsteps. As the first blood blossomed, an overturned oil lamp ignited the house, and flames shot into the sky, announcing the official start of a horrific massacre.

The icy blue mist quietly spread out, and before the evil soul masters could react, they were eroded by the icy mist, which contained extreme cold, and turned into lifeless ice sculptures.

Ultimate Ice's fourth soul skill: Icy Mist of Chill!
The original icy mist did not have such terrifying freezing power, but after Ling Luochen's elemental ice martial soul advanced to the ultimate ice in a short period of time, the power of her original soul skills was increased by more than three times. In addition, the continuous supply of soul power allowed her to release soul skills without restraint. In a short time, the area within a radius of 500 meters centered on her body was covered by icy mist.

Long Hao hovered in mid-air, and through the striking icy blue mist, he quickly located Ling Luochen's position.

A pair of bat wings spread out, and an invisible wave slowly spread out. In the night, blood-red eyes flashed with a bloodthirsty light. Long Hao grew sharp fangs, and his hands turned into claws. His martial soul was a bat, or more accurately, a mutated vampire bat, a powerful beast martial soul that possessed both spiritual and evil attributes.

"Found you... little thing..."

Long Hao grinned maliciously, and seven soul rings—three yellow, two purple, and two black—suddenly rose up. Bat wings sliced ​​through the night sky as he charged straight toward Ling Luochen, who was shrouded in ice mist.

The icy mist possesses an extremely important and powerful concealment effect. Ling Luochen could avoid most detection by being within it. However, as a Soul Saint-level mental evil soul master, Long Hao's mental power is even stronger than that of an ordinary mental soul saint. Therefore, he only needed to probe slightly to successfully locate Ling Luochen's position.

Ling Luochen quickly noticed the evil soul master, Battle Soul Saint, rushing towards her at top speed. In the darkness, the light emitted by the seven soul rings was extremely dazzling. Ling Luochen was startled, but soon, the Extreme Ice restored her confidence.

The first and second yellow soul rings rose up, and the Ice Staff appeared in his hand. A layer of ice armor, condensed from the ultimate ice soul power, appeared. This layer of ice armor was evenly attached to all parts of Ling Luochen's body. In an instant, Ling Luochen's overall aura rose to another level.

Just as Shu Yan said, Ling Luochen, the Ultimate Ice Five-Ring Battle Soul King, is indeed the best choice for clearing out the mobs. With a continuous supply of soul power, the enhanced version of the Ice Mist Coldness makes all evil soul masters below the Soul Emperor level dare not touch it. Once they do, the bone-chilling cold will continuously invade their bodies, and in no time, they will turn into an ice sculpture from the inside out.

This is the domineering and powerful nature of ultimate attributes. Even evil soul masters, whose combat strength far exceeds that of ordinary soul masters of the same level, are still as vulnerable as greenhorns in the face of ultimate attributes.

Long Hao grinned as he charged into the icy mist, but then his smile froze eerily.

He underestimated the impact and interference of the ice mist on him. Amplified by the extreme ice, the stickiness and corrosiveness of the ice mist were terrifying. In a short moment, it broke through the protection of his external soul power and invaded his body.

"Such powerful ice attributes, I've never seen anything like it before..."

Blood was freezing, tiny ice particles condensing in his blood vessels. Long Hao shivered, but then his fifth soul ring flashed beneath his feet, and a thick, blood-red aura burst forth from his body. The rich blood energy began to erode the ice mist in reverse. For a moment, the blood-red aura and the ice mist intertwined, creating a rather bewitching and beautiful scene.

"No matter how powerful you are, you are still only a Soul King. Faced with a soul power difference of more than twenty levels, even if you can temporarily put up a fight, you will ultimately not escape the fate of defeat..."

The blood-sucking poison mist spread, and when it collided with the ice mist, it made a sound like an explosion. In Long Hao's eyes, he was a Soul Saint who possessed a Martial Soul True Body and had already touched the true meaning of Martial Soul. How could a mere Soul King possibly contend with him? Ling Luo Chen was now just struggling to survive in his eyes. Once her soul power was exhausted, she would only be defeated and waiting for death.

Unfortunately, even though Ling Luochen only had a little bit of energy left from the 100,000-year-old snow lotus in his body, that energy was still enormous.

Snow lotus is a typical "large energy pack". The energy and essence of heaven and earth contained in snow lotus of the same age are at least more than twice that of other soul beasts. The snow lotus residual essence that Shu Yan injected into Ling Luochen's body is enough to keep her in peak condition for tonight's battle and leave her with surplus.

Long Hao's idea was admirable, but reality is cruel. Before long, he would deeply regret his current foolishness...

……

Meanwhile, Shu Yan found Tao Jun in an open space outside the city.

Looking at the old man before him, dressed in a dark red robe and with the gloomy face typical of evil soul masters, Shu Yan smiled slightly and then said:

"You are very smart to have chosen a good burial place for yourself."

Tao Jun's face was grim. He stared at Shu Yan, then asked, word by word:
"who are you?"

"who am I?"

Shu Yan chuckled softly, and rings of spirit rings slowly rose from beneath him. With each additional ring, Tao Jun's expression grew increasingly stiff, until finally, Tao Jun suddenly realized that despite the frigid environment, a thin layer of sweat had broken out on his back. "I'm here to take your life..."

The six soul rings, four black and two red, exuded a primordial aura as if they came from an unparalleled ferocious beast. The deep dragon roar was extremely intimidating. Tao Jun involuntarily took a step back, and a dragon roar also rang out from his body. Blood-red dragon scales adhered to his skin, revealing a trace of evil aura. On his forehead, a huge blood-red horn also grew.

"True Dragon Martial Soul! 100,000-year Soul Ring! This aura is... Ya Zi... You are that genius from the Shu family! I know who you are now. I never expected that two of the current Shrek Seven Devils would gather in this small Ice City, one of whom is the greatest genius in Shrek's history. Is this heaven's favor upon me...?"

The Yazi Martial Soul is among the most recognizable of all Martial Souls. After all, there are only two True Dragon Martial Souls on the continent that can be stably passed down and have a great reputation: the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon and the Yazi. The complete Yazi is one of the nine sons of the Dragon God, and its status and bloodline are far superior to the so-called Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon. In addition, Shu Yan is famous, and although Tao Jun has led the evil soul masters to live in the deep mountains for a long time, he is still familiar with the news from the outside world, so he can recognize Shu Yan at the first time.

"Although I don't know how you managed to possess two 100,000-year soul rings and four 10,000-year soul rings at the Soul Emperor realm, you must be hiding a great secret. With my Soul Douluo-level strength, it will be difficult for me to kill you, and I might even be killed by you instead..."

Countless blood-red lines appeared on Tao Jun's face. He could clearly feel the powerful aura emanating from Shu Yan. Facing Shu Yan, whose true nature he could not discern, he was both worried and unable to suppress his excitement. The benefits he could gain from taking down Shu Yan would be indescribable.

With this in mind, he decided to gamble his life and take one last shot...

The ground beneath their feet suddenly became sticky, and the ground that was originally covered by snow was gradually covered by a dazzling red color. Countless huge bubbles surged and burst, and huge blood-red dragon heads rose up.

Eight spirit rings—two yellow, two purple, and four black—rose from beneath Tao Jun's feet. However, as the blood-red swamp continued to expand, a faint red phantom materialized outside his eight spirit rings.

That red wasn't the dazzling, bewitching red of a 100,000-year-old soul ring, but a dark red filled with an evil aura. His aura also increased rapidly during this process, and in a short time, he directly surpassed the barrier between Soul Douluo and Title Douluo, with his aura increasing more than three times.

"Damn, this old guy goes all out right away. Looks like he's actually quite clever... I've sensed the resentment and flesh and blood energy of countless humans and soul beasts in this swamp. He must have mastered some kind of secret technique, achieving a temporary leap in strength by burning his own accumulated energy. Ah Yan, his current strength is equivalent to a level 91 or 92 Title Douluo in humans. Are you confident?"

Tianmeng asked with some concern.

Shu Yan was also slightly surprised by Tao Jun's decisiveness. He could tell that the other party intended to finish him off in one fell swoop, and even went so far as to use his most secret techniques.

"Shu Yan, let this old man see if your Shu family's Yazi Martial Soul is as powerful as rumored, and whether your title as Shrek Academy's number one genius is truly undeserved..."

After the Blood Dragon Martial Soul was attached to his body, Tao Jun's hands transformed into blood-red dragon claws. His first and fifth soul rings lit up simultaneously. With the combined effects of the two amplification-type soul skills, Dragon Blood Boiling and Blood Dragon Body, Tao Jun's originally slightly thin body became full and strong again, and his face returned to its middle-aged appearance.

"Unless absolutely necessary, you should not interfere. I want to see just how strong I really am..."

Shu Yan gave Tianmeng and the others some instructions, then activated his martial spirit and clashed fiercely with the blood-red dragon that Tao Jun had transformed into.

Within the sea of ​​consciousness, Tianmeng spoke with some concern:

"Do you think Ayan can win? Even without his ninth spirit ring, this old guy's combat strength is definitely at the Title Douluo level. I'm a little worried..."

Faced with Tianmeng's concerns, Xue Di simply said:
"Don't worry about it, we believe him."

Xie Ji glanced at Tian Meng, then spoke up:

"Don't treat Shu Yan like a piece of trash. I still have a lot of confidence in his abilities."

Tianmeng gave an awkward smile, then turned back to observe the battle situation outside without saying anything more.

After that incident, although Xie Ji and Bing Di still outwardly looked down on it, this was only on the surface. Inwardly, both of them had a very different opinion of Tian Meng, this giant worm...
