Douluo: This Legend of the Dragon King is not quite right

Chapter 168 The Soul Master Team Begins to Take Shape

"Beautiful." Tang Wulin was overjoyed at the sight. His Blue Silver Grass mainly restrained the demonic ape's lower body and core of power, while Xu Xiaoyan's sudden Extreme Ice Chains perfectly restricted the demonic ape's upper body movements and flexibility, and even froze it directly.

The two's control skills complemented each other, instantly pinning the restless horde of demonic apes to the spot! They truly achieved control of the battlefield.

“Gu Yuena,” Lu Jun said quickly.

Gu Yuena, who had been hiding her elemental energy from the side and rear, suddenly had a glint in her beautiful eyes.

This is the opportunity she's been waiting for.

There were no complicated incantations, just hands pressed lightly in front of the body.

In the palm of his left hand, a deep red flame, so intense it distorted the air, suddenly ignited; in the palm of his right hand, a vortex of ice crystals, compressed to the extreme, appeared as a deep, dark blue.

"Ice and Fire Dual-Pole Explosion".

As soon as she finished speaking, she pushed her hands forward sharply.

The crimson flames and the dark blue ice crystals did not merge, but rather spiraled and intertwined in a strange trajectory, like two roaring elemental dragons, crashing into the center of the demonic ape horde that was firmly bound by ice chains and blue silver grass.

In an instant, a deafening explosion rang out. There was no smoke or dust, only a terrifying energy turbulence generated by the collision and annihilation of extreme high and low temperatures.

The red and blue light intertwined, tore, and exploded wildly.

The frozen demon ape instantly vaporized under the high temperature, while the demon ape scorched by the flames instantly froze and shattered under the extreme cold.

The boundary between ice and fire blurred and vanished at the center of the explosion, forming an absolute elemental dead zone.

With a single strike, more than two-thirds of the Bloodthirsty Demon Apes, whether frozen or not, were reduced to ashes by this terrifying composite elemental soul skill, dissipating into pure spiritual energy.

The once dense swarm of demonic apes was instantly cleared out, revealing a huge gap.

Behind the gap was the cunning, bloodthirsty demonic ape leader who had been lurking behind, his eyes gleaming with malice as he stared at Tang Wulin.

It was stunned by this sudden and devastating blow, and fear appeared in its crimson eyes for the first time.

"Le Zhengyu." Lu Jun's command was like a thunderclap, instantly waking Le Zhengyu, who was also shocked by Gu Yuena's attack, "Charge! Target the leader! Take it down!"

"Understood." Le Zhengyu snapped back to reality, his eyes burning with fierce fighting spirit and holy radiance.

He knew that this was an opportunity for Lu Jun to give him merit and solidify his position in the team.

Gu Yuena can cause such great power.

He can too!

"First Soul Skill, Divine Light."

A dazzling golden light erupted from his body, as if he were draped in a divine armor, instantly boosting his strength, speed, and defense.

"Third Soul Skill: Light of Judgment".

He raised the holy sword high, its tip pointing straight to the sky.

As if from the heavens, a thick beam of light instantly tore through the forest's dome, carrying both sacred majesty that purified all evil and destructive power, crashing down with perfect precision, its target the terrified demonic ape leader.

"boom!"

The holy beam of light slammed into the demon ape leader's hastily raised arms and the dark red shield that had been formed.

A piercing burning sound and the sound of shields shattering rang out.

The demonic ape leader let out a shrill scream, its arms charred black, its shield collapsing instantly. Its massive body was slammed backward by the immense impact, its chest a charred mess, clearly severely injured. Just as the demonic ape leader was struck and paralyzed by the light of judgment, Long Chen, who had been poised to strike, shot out like a cannonball.

He was enveloped in the phantom of the Holy Dragon of Light, and his third soul ring lit up.

The arrival of the Holy Dragon caused his overall strength, defense, and light attribute to surge once again.

Then Long Chen used his first soul skill, Dragon Claw!

He let out a deafening roar, and his arms were instantly covered by incredibly solid, massive, metallic-looking dragon claw phantoms.

With a ferocious, all-consuming force, it seized the moment when the demonic ape leader was severely injured and stiff, its defenses wide open, and plunged it fiercely into its charred chest.

"Pfft."

The sound of the dragon's claws piercing flesh was enough to make your teeth ache.

Long Chen's eyes turned bloodshot. He roared, his arm muscles bulging, and he tore his arms apart with all his might.

"Ow!"

With a desperate scream and a chilling sound of bones breaking, the ferocious, bloodthirsty demonic ape leader, with five thousand years of cultivation, was torn in two from its chest by Long Chen.

A fountain of scalding blood gushed out, and fragments of internal organs flew everywhere.

Long Chen was the first to be hit, and was drenched in the scalding beast blood.

He instantly transformed into a blood-soaked figure, his hair dyed a dark red, with only his eyes gleaming with excitement and ferocity amidst the blood, like a blood dragon returning from hell.

With their leader dead, the remaining demonic apes, who had been stubbornly resisting and were under control, witnessed this bloody and terrifying scene, and their crimson eyes were filled with boundless fear.

They let out terrified screams, no longer caring about anything else, desperately trying to break free of the remaining control, and turned to flee into the depths of the dense forest.

"Trying to run?" Lu Jun continued, "Kill them all. This is pure spiritual energy; don't waste a single drop."

Without needing any further orders, Xie Xie, who could no longer contain himself, was the first to turn into a blur and give chase. The Light Dragon Dagger and Shadow Dragon Dagger drew deadly flashes in the air, precisely reaping the lives of the fleeing demonic apes.

Xu Xiaoyan also came to her senses and excitedly waved her Star Wheel Ice Staff. The blue silver entanglement, combined with the starlight chains, trapped the slow-moving demonic apes one by one.

Yue Zhengyu also brandished his holy sword and joined the pursuit.

Gu Yuena stood still, and with a light wave of her hand, several precise wind blades or ground spikes dealt with any stragglers that tried to burrow underground or jump up tall trees.

He didn't seem to care much about the spiritual power of these small fry.

In just a few minutes, all the fleeing bloodthirsty demonic apes were annihilated.

The rich, pure spiritual energy flowed into everyone's body like a shower of light, bringing waves of warmth and a sense of increased power.

Looking at his teammates, whose bodies were stained with blood to varying degrees but whose eyes were full of excitement and fighting spirit, especially Long Chen who was all covered in blood but grinning, Lu Jun finally smiled with satisfaction.

He clapped his hands, his voice carrying a rare hint of ease and teasing:
"Well done, everyone. A great start, worth celebrating."

In the following hour, several clean and decisive victories followed one after another. In particular, the sudden and extreme amplification of ice power from Xu Xiaoyan's martial soul and the terrifying firepower support from Gu Yuena boosted the morale of the entire team to its peak.

The rich spiritual energy continuously flowed into their bodies, and the tangible feeling of increased power made Xie Xie and the others so excited that they almost screamed.

At this moment, they are eyeing a rare seven-thousand-year-old Ice and Fire Demon Tiger.

This soul beast was enormous, with its left half covered in burning crimson magic patterns and its right half condensed with dark blue ice crystals. The two completely opposite energies of ice and fire formed a strange balance on its body, exuding an extremely powerful aura.
