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

Chapter 173 Lu Jun is a ranged mage, go and fight him in melee!

"Your opponent is me."

Lu Jun's cold voice rang out, his eyes flashed with light, and without the slightest hesitation, he suddenly rushed to the side, deliberately creating a distance of dozens of feet between himself and Xie Xie and the others.

He couldn't allow the aftershocks of a battle involving Soul Emperors to reach them; that would be devastating.

"Trying to run?" Tang Lie, the Soul Emperor of the Tang Sect, sneered. His soul rings shone brightly, and his speed increased dramatically as he took the lead in chasing after them.

The two emperors of blue lightning, Jade Star Rift and Jade Star Mark, also transformed into two violent bolts of lightning, following closely behind.

The remaining Soul Kings, like sharks smelling blood, swarmed forward, leaving only that one Soul King to deal with Xie Xie and his six companions.

One Soul King is enough to deal with six Soul Venerables!

If you lose, that would be incredibly embarrassing.

"Hahaha, the mighty Ice Sword Master Lu, so you're just a coward who knows how to run away with your tail between your legs?"

Where is your prestige?

As Yu Xinghen chased after him, he let out a harsh laugh, trying to provoke Lu Jun.

Lu Jun ignored him, his gaze remaining perfectly calm.

He appeared to be on the run, his figure moving at high speed among the dense forest and giant trees, but his route was extremely treacherous.

But with each step he took, a delicate, icy blue rosebud, gleaming with a deadly chill, would silently bloom on the ground or tree trunk beneath his feet.

These ice flowers, like seeds of death, were cleverly left by him on the path his pursuers were bound to take.

"Watch out for those ice flowers!"

Tang Lie, being experienced, immediately spoke up to warn him, but it was too late.

The Soul Kings at the forefront were too fast, or perhaps they didn't even notice the little trinket Lu Jun had hastily left behind, and instantly stepped into the area covered by ice flowers.

"burst."

Lu Jun didn't even turn his head. With an indifferent voice, he used Ice Flower in combination with Ice Explosion, amplifying the explosive power!

A series of crisp, dense explosions rang out among the pursuing team, as icy blue energy shockwaves mixed with extreme cold suddenly erupted.

Caught off guard, the Soul Kings were thrown into disarray by the blast, their protective soul power violently trembling, and the cold poison invading their meridians, causing their movements to stiffen instantly, leaving them in a sorry state.

Although no fatal injuries were inflicted, the momentum of their pursuit was abruptly interrupted, leaving them disheveled, shocked, and furious.

"asshole!"

"Chase him! Don't let him get away! Kill him!"

An angry roar echoed through the forest.

Taking advantage of this brief delay, Lu Jun had already created some distance and rushed into an area with more complex terrain, covered with huge vines and jagged rocks.

"Where to go!"

A cold glint flashed in Tang Lie's eyes, and he finally couldn't hold back and made his move.

He let out a low shout, and his martial spirit instantly possessed him. A huge curved blade with a unique shape, pitch black in color, and a dark arc of light flowing from its edge appeared in his hand.

It was his martial spirit, the Soul-Chasing Crescent Blade.

"Second Soul Skill, Moon Blade Split."

The massive crescent blade in his hand emitted a buzzing sound and instantly split into three smaller crescent blades, each exuding the same sharpness and eerie aura.

The three small crescent blades seemed to possess a life of their own, drawing three tricky and unpredictable arcs, accompanied by a shrill whistling sound that tore through the air, chasing after Lu Jun's back like leeches from three different angles.

This attack was ruthless and cunning, sealing off most of Lu Jun's room to dodge.

However, it seemed as if Lu Jun had eyes in the back of his head.

He didn't even turn around; he merely gave an extremely subtle twitch to his right wrist, which was gripping the Ice Abyss Sword. Without warning, a three-foot-thick, crystal-clear ice wall, shrouded in mysterious ice patterns, rose up diagonally from behind him, precisely blocking the path of the three Soul-Chasing Crescent Blades.

"Clang, clang, clang!"

Three piercing clangs of metal rang out.

The crescent blade, imbued with the Soul Emperor's soul power, slammed into the ice wall, unleashing blinding sparks.

Ice shards flew everywhere, and three deep cracks instantly appeared on the ice wall, but it was not completely broken through in the end.

The three small crescent blades were deflected by the powerful recoil and returned empty-handed.

"What?" Tang Lie's pupils shrank, and he cursed inwardly.

The ice wall's defensive capabilities far exceeded his expectations.

A Soul Master's instantaneous defensive technique, which isn't even a Soul Skill, was actually able to block his Soul Emperor-level second Soul Skill.

This is simply unbelievable.

"Useless trash, watch this!" Yu Xinghen, who was close behind, roared angrily when he saw Tang Lie fail.

He also released his martial spirit, with a raging blue lightning tyrannosaurus phantom coiling around his body, and a powerful dragon's might surging forth.

"First Soul Skill, Thunder Bind."

With a sudden flick of his massive dragon tail, a lightning chain, as thick as an arm and formed from highly compressed blue-purple lightning, ripped through the air like a hunting python, crackling with electric arcs and possessing immense binding power, instantly coiling around Lu Jun's legs.

This attack is extremely fast and covers a wide area; once caught in it, one will instantly lose mobility.

Lu Jun snorted coldly, and suddenly stopped and turned around while moving at high speed. Facing the whistling lightning chains, he did not dodge or avoid them. Instead, he simply swung the Ice Abyss Sword behind his back like hitting a baseball.

The icy blue blade clashed violently with the raging lightning chains, sending ice shards and lightning sparks flying amidst a deafening explosion.

An overwhelming, unstoppable chill instantly traveled along the sword blade and onto the lightning chains.

The raging lightning chains were visibly covered and frozen by the icy blue frost.

Although it was not completely frozen, the lightning and binding power it contained was instantly weakened and slowed down by the cold air.

Lu Jun exerted force with his wrist and jerked.

"broken!"

The lightning chains, stiffened by the chilling air, were snapped in two by his seemingly casual tremor.

The broken lightning bolt vanished, turning into scattered lightning.

"Impossible!" Yu Xinghen exclaimed in disbelief, his eyes filled with disbelief.

His first soul skill was so easily broken by a Soul Master?
"Stop right there!" Just as Lu Jun shattered the lightning bolt and the old power was gone while the new power had not yet been generated, Yu Xinglie, who had been silently charging forward, finally seized the opportunity.

His martial soul is also a berserk blue lightning tyrannosaurus, and his goal is very clear: to get close!

From what we can see so far, although Lu Jun appears to be a weapon spirit, holding a sword in his hand, his spirit skills are all released from a distance.

Isn't this a classic ranged mage?
Once this type of ranged mage gets close... the consequences are obvious.

"First Soul Skill, Thunder Fang Thrust."

Yu Xinglie transformed into a massive bolt of lightning that tore through space, moving at more than twice the speed of his younger brother, Yu Xinghen.

Almost instantly, it crossed the final distance, rushing towards Lu Jun with a piercing thunderous roar and terrifying pressure.

His ferocious dragon claws, covered in hard dragon scales and crackling with high-voltage lightning, swung fiercely toward Lu Jun's chest with an aura of destruction that seemed to pierce through everything.

Before the claws even arrived, the violent lightning pressure already made Lu Jun's white robes flutter wildly.

Too fast, too fierce—this was a full-force attack from a Soul Emperor-level expert.
