Douluo Dragon King: I am the Lord of the Abyss, the King of Eternal Night.

Chapter 199 Complete Crushing! Defense Broken! Insidious!

Evil invades, and black mist spreads.

In a short moment, the entire battlefield seemed to be shrouded in darkness, a cold aura brought up frost flowers, and a violent and powerful pressure gradually spread.

Jiang Xiu's crimson eyes were devoid of any emotion. Behind him, illusory tiger wings stretched out, swirling with wisps of blood-red light. His entire body was covered in dark armor, ancient and cold.

Countless black mists surrounded Jiang Xiu, as if bowing down in submission. At this moment, Jiang Xiu exuded an aura of tyranny and majesty, like a tyrant descended from the heavens, yet also contained endless evil charm.

"This...what is this?"

When Qian Gu Zhangting saw the change in Jiang Xiu, his expression suddenly froze, and a trace of shock flashed in his eyes. He could feel that Jiang Xiu's strength had at least doubled!
And why is black smoke billowing out all around after Jiang Xiu uses this soul skill...?

Is this still a proper Soul Master?

"Qian Gu Zhang Ting, this is just the beginning!" Jiang Xiu's lips curled up as he coldly stared at the distant Qian Gu Zhang Ting, before his illusory tiger wings suddenly trembled.

"Boom!" Thunder roared, bringing with it countless dark blue lightning bolts. The violent lightning elements flickered wildly behind him. Jiang Xiu seemed to transform into a roaring bolt of lightning, instantly traversing space and arriving in front of Qian Gu Zhang Ting.

His right leg shot up fiercely, whipping up gusts of evil wind. A dense mix of evil and darkness, accompanied by a thunderous roar, descended upon Qian Gu Zhangting's head, leaving a trail of blood in its wake!
"So fast!" Qian Gu Zhangting instantly realized something was wrong, gripped the Panlong Staff tightly with both hands, and with a roar of dragons, slammed it down towards Jiang Xiu's right leg.

"Roar!"

"Yan!"

In an instant, the phantoms of the dragon and the black tiger flickered alternately, lightning and golden light burst forth, and layers of air waves surged out. The silver metal ground beneath the Ancient Pavilion suddenly developed fine cracks, and countless metal powders rolled up.

"Gurgle!" In the brief exchange, the veins on Qian Gu Zhangting's arms suddenly bulged, and the soul power and blood in his body trembled violently and began to surge.

"How could there be such power!" Qian Gu Zhangting gritted his teeth, his heart filled with disbelief.

After his demonic transformation, Jiang Xiu was like a monster going into overdrive, exuding a fierce aura. This soul skill was like a comprehensive boost to Jiang Xiu, doubling his speed, strength, and attack power!
"Drink!" Qian Gu Zhangting roared, swallowing the blood that had risen to his throat, and poured his rich soul power, at the Soul Emperor level, into the Panlong Staff.

"Clang! Clang!"

A violent metallic scraping sound rang out, and Qian Gu Zhangting's figure was suddenly sent flying backward, only stopping at the edge of the arena, with thin, snake-like blood flowing from the corner of his mouth.

Jiang Xiu paused in the air for only a moment before lightning flashed on his wings again as he pounced on Qian Gu Zhang Ting.

Qian Gu Zhangting was right; his Dark God Demon Transformation was indeed a soul skill that enhanced all aspects of a person's abilities, and it was a 100% overall boost!

After unleashing his full power, he is capable of surpassing even the Soul King!

However, Jiang Xiu could sense that the Dark God Demon Transformation was not the final form of this soul skill. After the Scorpion Tiger completely reverted to its ancestral form, it might even transform into an even stronger version of the Demon God Transformation!
At that time, the increase will only be stronger!
"You asked for this!"

Seeing Jiang Xiu charging towards him, Qian Gu Zhangting's eyes hardened. A burst of milky white light suddenly erupted from his left leg, instantly enveloping him and causing him to disappear completely without revealing a trace of his presence.

This is his Soul Bone Skill: Silent Breath!
It has the effect of concealing itself, and unless someone is a whole level higher than it, they cannot be detected.

Upon seeing this scene, Jiang Xiu's blood-red eyes instantly sharpened. His fingers, covered in ferocious bone armor, twitched slightly, and a dark shadow flickered at his fingertips. As if sensing something, a glint of light flashed in his eyes.

"Qian Gu Dong Feng actually gave him this soul bone." Leng Yaozhu looked at the scene, a trace of worry appearing in her phoenix eyes.

Even in the Spirit Transmission Tower's treasury, this soul bone is extremely precious, second only to the soul bones of some top-tier bloodlines.

This soul bone is extremely useful for concealment, ambushes, and escapes.

"He has so many treasures on him. I must rob the rich and give to the poor when the time comes," Na'er thought to herself, but her little hands were clenched tightly together.

After all, if Jiang Xiu doesn't notice Qian Gu Zhang Ting now, he could very well be defeated by a single blow from behind.

For a moment, the battlefield was completely silent, with only the black mist drifting by, obscuring the bright light above.

Jiang Xiu stood in the air, his eyes seemingly searching anxiously, while his right hand faintly conjured a giant tiger's paw, with thunder, evil, and darkness converging in his palm.

"Third Soul Skill! Thousand-Pound Demon Subduing!"

Just then, as Jiang Xiu turned his head, the space behind him trembled violently, and the figure of Qian Gu Zhang Ting was revealed. He was like a fully drawn bow, and his Panlong Staff had become more than ten times its original size. It was dazzling with golden light, and his fighting spirit was surging. It smashed towards Jiang Xiu with a tremendous force!

Na'er's pretty face showed a hint of anxiety, and Leng Yaozhu was ready to make a move at any moment, but the next moment, a slight glint flashed in her dark red eyes, and she relaxed.

"Die!" Qian Gu Zhangting roared, his eyes flashing with excitement, as if he could already see Jiang Xiu being crushed.

"Teng!"

At this critical moment, Jiang Xiu seemed to have sensed everything all along. His whole body crackled with lightning, and his tiger wings flapped behind him. In an instant, he turned into a bolt of lightning and disappeared from the spot.

"Boom!"

A violent explosion rang out as the massive dragon-shaped staff crashed down, deeply engraving itself into the silvery-white ground. Fine metal powder flew everywhere, and a staff imprint over ten meters long spread outwards.

But the smile on Qian Gu Zhangting's face froze at this moment, and his lips trembled slightly: "How is this possible?!"

He didn't leave a sound or make any noise, so how did Jiang Xiu discover him?!
And where did Jiang Xiu go?
Realizing that Jiang Xiu had disappeared, Qian Gu Zhang Ting immediately prepared to use the Silent Breath technique once again.

But at that moment, Qian Gu Zhangting was shocked to hear a cold voice ring in his ear. "Look behind you."

Qian Gu Zhangting trembled violently. Just as he was about to raise the Panlong Staff to defend himself, he saw out of the corner of his eye a palm crackling with lightning striking from behind him!
"Combat Technique: Great Transformation Sorrowful Wind Fist!"

In an instant, thunder roared, the fabric of his shirt tore apart, and a crisp sound of bones cracking rang out as three fist shadows slammed into Qian Gu Zhangting's back.

"thump!"

The ancient pavilion crashed down from the sky, landing on the ground in a sorry state, kicking up a cloud of dust.

His eyes were glazed over, his lips trembled, and a jolt of electricity ran through his body.

"This Qian Gu Zhang Ting is truly a legendary tough guy, withstanding three punches without uttering a sound."

Na'er, who was outside the battlefield, couldn't help but sigh when she saw this scene.

"That's because Qian Gu Zhang Ting was stunned by Xiao Xiu's lightning and couldn't speak at all," Leng Yao Zhu explained pointedly.

Qian Gu Dongfeng, who was in the office, witnessed this scene. His expression changed drastically, and he disappeared from the office.

"Heh heh heh!" After a moment, Qian Gu Zhang Ting's unfocused gaze refocused, and he struggled to stand up.

"Impossible! How could you possibly sense where I am? Is your spiritual power at a very high level?!" Qian Gu Zhangting roared as he looked at Jiang Xiu in the sky, his eyes bloodshot.

It was clear that Jiang Xiu's three punches shattered his dream of a sneak attack.

“Everyone has a shadow, and I locked onto your shadow before the battle even started, so do you think you could dodge it?” Jiang Xiu said calmly. “However, you are right about one thing: my mental strength is indeed not low, at least I won’t be trapped by illusions.”

"You!" Qian Gu Zhangting was furious. Although he didn't know why Jiang Xiu would mention an illusion, he could clearly feel that he had been insulted!

Qian Gu Zhangting raised the coiled dragon staff in his hand and roared, "I possess the will to fight against heaven and earth! How could I possibly be toyed with by you!"

"Fight against heaven and earth?" Jiang Xiu shook his head slightly, a mocking smile appearing on his lips. "If you really had the will to fight against heaven and earth, you wouldn't have chosen a soul bone that's designed for hiding and ambushing."

"If you don't even dare to face a powerful enemy from the bottom of your heart, how can you talk about fighting against heaven and earth!"

The Silent Breath skill of the Soul Bone is excellent and would be of great benefit to any Soul Master, but it has drawbacks when used by a Soul Master wielding the Dragon Staff.

The core essence of the Panlong Staff's spirit of fighting against heaven and earth is fearlessness; it means never yielding to heaven and earth and daring to face them head-on.

As long as the stick is there, the person is there; if the stick is gone, the person is gone.

Instead of resorting to underhanded tactics.

The Qian Gu Die Ting of the Qian Gu Family did just that, unleashing a divine strike with the will to fight against heaven and earth, directly taking away the Underworld Emperor, who was also a quasi-god.

It perfectly illustrates what it means to fight to the very end!

The ancient Zhangting Pavilion has been too well protected by the eternal east wind; how can a flower in a greenhouse withstand the thunder of the outside world?

Upon hearing this, Qian Gu Zhangting's eyes instantly turned bloodshot, he gasped for breath, and kept saying "Impossible."

His current state is nothing like the description in the Battle Heaven Mantra: "Heavy as a mountain, breaking as a dragon, with even energy, fighting against heaven and earth."

Instead, it's more like: anxious as eyes, red as warmth, broken as defense, and furious as thunder!

"If you admit defeat now, you can leave with some dignity." Jiang Xiu flapped his wings, arrived above the Qian Gu Zhang Pavilion, looked down at the pavilion, and said calmly.

The words that Qian Gu Zhangting had said to him earlier were now being returned to him.

"I admit defeat..." Qian Gu Zhangting lowered his head, his eyes flashing with a red light of hatred, just as Na'er and Leng Yaozhu thought he would admit defeat.

Suddenly, he sprang into action, unleashing his full cultivation back to the aura of a level 69 Soul Emperor. The Panlong Staff shone with dazzling light as it slammed towards Jiang Xiu!

"Damn it!" Leng Yaozhu's eyes turned cold, and the terrifying power of the Limit Douluo realm instantly pressed down on Qian Gu Zhangting, with a ball of scorching flames soaring into the air.

But at that moment, a figure dressed in a golden robe stood in front of Leng Yaozhu, blocking the pressure and flames. It was none other than Qian Gu Dongfeng!

"Zhangting, stop!"

Whether intentionally or unintentionally, when Qian Gu Dongfeng was preventing Qian Gu Zhangting from making a move, he subtly blocked Leng Yaozhu's figure.

Seeing the sudden surge of the ancient pavilion and the blocked master, Na'er's pupils dilated, a flash of silver light appeared in her hand, and she instantly rushed towards Jiang Xiu.

"Destroy it!" Qian Gu Zhangting's eyes flashed with madness as he looked at Jiang Xiu in the sky above.

He is at the peak of the Soul Emperor realm! At this moment, no one can stop him!

But when he saw Jiang Xiu's cold eyes, his whole body suddenly trembled.
