Douluo: Star-Breaking Sword God

Chapter 136 Yan: Ling, you old scoundrel! I will never let you get away with this!

(Night)

He frowned, quickly changed his strategy, and headed towards Hu Liena's direction, preparing to combine the strength of the three of them to forcefully break through the blockade of this mysterious star curtain.

"Star Pivot Forbidden Zone, Big Dipper Star-Guiding Array."

With the Shattering Star Sword in Ling Qianyao's hand, the space within the starry sky domain seemed to be imprisoned by an invisible force, and the speed of Hu Liena and the other two suddenly decreased by 50%.

Yan, who was now possessed by the Flame Lord, lit up his fourth soul ring.

Centered on him, the ground beneath his feet instantly cracked, and crimson magma surged forth from the earth like a raging tide, in order to prevent a sudden attack from Ling Qianyao and his companion while they were under this debuff. At the same time, the extremely hot magma also had an extreme offensive effect.

Unfortunately, Ling Qianyao's original target was not him, even though Yan was right in front of him at that moment.

Ling Qianyao flashed away, dodging Yan, and sped towards Xie Yue and Hu Liena, like a shooting star streaking across the night sky, leaving only a faint afterimage of starlight behind him.

The phantom of the Vermilion Bird swooped down towards Yan, transforming into a raging sea of ​​fire. While the damage might not be enough for Yan, whose martial soul was the Flame Lord, it was enough to momentarily halt his movements. The three protective swords of light from the sky also fell down at the same time.

Before Hu Liena and the other two's astonished eyes, the Shattered Star Sword in his hand shattered into 365 tiny starbursts.

The starlight moved at his will, transforming into a cone-shaped array of sharp rays in front of him. The terrifying power caused Xie Yue and Hu Liena to change color simultaneously.

"younger sister!"

"it is good."

"Full moon!"

With a loud shout, Xie Yue leaped forward, the two moon blades in his hands spinning at an astonishing speed, transforming into the shape of a full moon. A white full moon condensed around him, and the air continuously emitted sharp explosions.

The dazzling moonlight, like a falling meteor, hurtled towards Ling Qianyao's star cone array.

Ling Qianyao's mind sharpened. He sensed that Xie Yue's self-created soul skill was enough to defeat a Soul King level Soul Master. His speed and power were extraordinary. Even he had to be careful to deal with such an attack.

"boom--"

With a deafening roar, the two collided violently, like a small sun exploding on the training field.

A powerful energy shockwave raged outwards from the point of impact, cracking the ground and kicking up dust wherever it passed.

Xie Yue was sent flying backward, carving a deep trench in the ground, his moon blade nearly slipping from his hand. He felt a surge of blood in his chest, a sweet taste in his throat, and his face turned pale.

Ling Qianyao was also thrown back by the terrifying energy impact, but the starlight scattered as it dissipated, quickly transforming into a light shield that blocked part of the impact.

While he was still regaining his footing, Hu Liena suddenly appeared beside him. Instead of using her spiritual power to directly charm him, she whispered in Ling Qianyao's ear with the alluring voice that came with her fox transformation:

"Young Master Ling, do my alluring figure, under this starry sky, stir your heart?"

The alluring voice, like a babbling brook, carried endless temptations, seeping into Ling Qianyao's ears.

It has to be said that this guy has some tricks up his sleeve. Even Ling Qianyao felt a momentary flutter of desire. Unfortunately, once one's mental strength exceeds Hu Liena's by two major realms, the effect of such charm becomes negligible.

Hu Liena's gaze was resolute, and her huge fox tail, covered in barbs, swept fiercely towards Ling Qianyao.

"Ah."

Ling Qianyao looked at Hu Liena who was attacking him, smiled slightly, and the starlight in his hand returned to the Shattered Star Sword. The seven terrifying sword energies brought by the Big Dipper Star Guiding Array coiled around the sword like seven dragons, emitting a series of clear dragon roars.

With a sudden swing, it collided violently with the enormous fox tail. In an instant, a brilliant light shone as the sword energy rubbed wildly against the barbs on the fox tail, sparking countless bursts of light.

The sword energy continuously sliced ​​through the barbs on the fox's tail, each strike causing Hu Liena to feel a piercing pain.

Hu Liena gritted her teeth, beads of sweat forming on her forehead, her heart filled with shock and anger. "How can this guy's first soul skill be so powerful!"

"Ping pong ping—"

Several barbs snapped, and with a bang, Hu Liena flew backward and landed on the ground, where she was caught by Xie Yue who rushed forward in one step.

Xie Yue looked at Hu Liena, whose face was somewhat pale, in his arms, and his anger flared up. "Ling Qianyao, how dare you do this!"

On the other side, after shaking off Ling Qianyao's harassment, Yan did not stop using his area-of-effect soul skills. Given Zhu Zhuqing's assassin attributes and the current environment, she was destined to restrict the opponent's movements in this way, while simultaneously seeking an opportunity for a fatal blow from behind.

As long as Zhu Zhuqing appears within the magma range he controls, he is confident that he can severely injure her and make her reveal herself.

Seeing the fierce battle on Hu Liena's side, and with Hu Liena being defeated, Yan felt anxious. After a moment of hesitation, he abandoned the "defensive tactic" and prepared to move closer to Hu Liena with his lava.

"Nana!" he called out urgently, his voice filled with anxiety.

"Om~~"

Just then, a piercing whooshing sound rang out behind him.

Yan's pupils contracted. "How is this possible? I clearly didn't sense her within my magma range."

The thought had barely formed in his mind when Zhu Zhuqing's attack descended like a ghost. Her figure suddenly appeared in the air, and her three clones, along with her main body, simultaneously unleashed their soul skills, unleashing all the Netherworld Claw Shadows in an instant.

The terrifying attack tore apart and dissipated the flames surrounding Yan in an instant.

"boom--"

"Wow--"

Yan suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood. Zhu Zhuqing's outburst was far more terrifying than she had imagined. Several deep, bone-revealing wounds were left on her back, and blood gushed out.

Yan felt a sudden darkness before his eyes, and his body fell forward uncontrollably.

He tried to steady himself, but it was too late. He flew towards the edge of the training ground like a kite with a broken string, and with a scream, he crashed heavily outside the training ground.

"Huff—huff—" Zhu Zhuqing gasped for breath. To deliver a fatal blow, she had poured almost all her soul power into that all-out attack. At this moment, she felt weak and powerless all over, and could only silently look in Ling Qianyao's direction.

Before Ling Qianyao's eyes, Xie Yue and Hu Liena's palms were already touching, and a special soul power fluctuation emanated from their bodies.

Ling Qianyao's pupils contracted slightly. If it were someone else who didn't know the details, they might hesitate, but Ling Qianyao immediately realized that the two were preparing to unleash their Martial Soul Fusion Technique.

Unfortunately, their Martial Soul Fusion Skill could not be cast instantly like Ling Qianyao and Qian Renxue's, and Ling Qianyao did not intend to give them the chance to unleash it.

The Seven Star Array appeared on the ground, and Ling Qianyao's Star Sword Intent surged. He activated "Thousand Star Rain - Seven Star Instant Kill", instantly locking onto Hu Liena and Xie Yue.

The next moment, Ling Qianyao was already in front of them, with starlight shining everywhere.

As the star curtain dissipated, Xie Yue, having withstood most of the damage for Hu Liena, had already fallen into a coma.

Hu Liena slumped to the ground, panting heavily, her lips pursed, and looked at Ling Qianyao, saying, "You...you..."

Ling Qianyao exhaled a breath of turbid air, his breathing equally rapid, indicating that his soul power had been significantly depleted.

He glanced at Hu Liena. "What's wrong?"

"You monster." Hu Liena gritted her teeth, a look of dejection flashing in her eyes.

Ling Qianyao smiled faintly, "There are countless strong people in this world, what am I? You, the Pope's personal disciple, should not lose your composure."

Hu Liena raised her head, the desolation in her eyes fading, and said stubbornly, "Don't look down on me. Next time, I will defeat you."

"Yes, I'm looking forward to it." Ling Qianyao smiled gently and slowly extended his hand.

Hu Liena's eyes flickered as she looked at Ling Qianyao's hand. She paused for a moment, then slowly extended her own hand and gently placed it on top of his.

Ling Qianyao used a little force to pull him up.

"Sigh, it's time to let go."

"Oh, oh oh." Hu Liena quickly withdrew her hand, a little embarrassed, a blush rising on her cheeks, and unconsciously tugged at the hem of her clothes.

Yan, who was slumped in the distance, saw this scene and his eyes widened in fury. He was panting heavily, and his gaze toward Ling Qianyao immediately turned hostile.

He roared inwardly, "You old scoundrel Ling! I will never forgive you!"
