Douluo Continent: Angel Saint Huo Yuhao

Chapter 196 Are we somewhere...?

"Senior! Senior!"

Wang Dong's eyes trembled, but he quickly regained his senses at the roar behind him. Holding Xiao Xiao, he accelerated further, but his eyes were still blurry: "They actually came back..."

I know you're excited.

Xiao Xiao's expression was somewhat unpleasant: "But now..."

"You mean... what they look like now?"

Wang Dong's expression changed instantly, and his gaze towards the mysterious girl turned fierce: "Is that guy an evil soul master?"

I never expected someone like you, who exudes such a radiant aura, would also—

"Snapped!"

Xiao Xiao raised her hand and tapped Wang Dong on the head, the veins on his forehead bulging like a grid: "Are you an eight-year-old? Didn't you see there are two angel soul masters over there? What kind of evil soul masters are you!"

She was simply worried about whether this group of people could survive the initial attack from this soul beast.

"Hydrogen!"

The approaching soul beasts roared, and flame-like substances burst forth from the depths of their eerie green eyes. Instantly, the shadows cast by the group broke through the ground and transformed into chains that bound their true forms.

Except for the auspicious beasts that had sensed it beforehand, everyone standing on the ground was immediately immobilized and unable to move.

"Whoosh..."

Wang Dong, who was flying in the sky, managed to dodge the soaring shadow binding with his agility and movement, but unfortunately he had no time to pay attention to the people who had become live targets.

"The power of shadows..."

Ye Guyi, feeling like he was stuck in a quagmire, looked terrible. His own holy light surged forth, but he could only struggle to break free of the restraints as if cold water were melting ice. He had no time to dodge at all: "Why is there a soul beast's starting control skill?!"

"Holy Light!"

A ball of golden flame burst forth from Yu Mengdi's body, but it was still to no avail.

The level difference is too great. If she had the Seventh Environment Realm now, she might actually be able to melt the chains with light and fire, but now she can only watch helplessly as the other party launches an attack.

The soul beast glanced at the two with a mocking look in its eyes, then suddenly opened its mouth and spat out a beam of light at the people on the ground.

"Damn it!"

Xiao Xiao frowned and pointed in the air, but the Soul-Suppressing Cauldron was too late to stop it... Besides, even if it had managed to block it, it wouldn't have been of much use.

An attack of this magnitude would probably require her martial spirit to be strengthened tenfold to fully absorb its power.

"Give me--"

As the green light wave hurtled towards them, another burst of blazing fire appeared. The auspicious beast, having charged to the center of the group, gathered its full power and slammed its fist into the ground with overwhelming force: "Get out of the way, all of you!"

"boom!"

As the dual attributes broke free of their restraints, the terrifying power brought by the Golden Dragon bloodline also unleashed a tangible shockwave, pushing everyone away and leaving her alone to hold the scales in her hand and face the attack.

Di Tian had left her with quite a few protective measures, so this casually spat energy beam couldn't harm her...

But just before the green light wave struck her, a voice that overlapped with her memory rang in everyone's ears:

"The Emperor's Sword!"

'well? '

The auspicious beast's eyes shifted slightly, and a magnificent sword blade, infused with gold, blue, and black, appeared in mid-air before it. The moment the light wave descended, it leaped forward, its irresistible sharpness splitting the light in two, slicing it apart!

A familiar yet unfamiliar hand gripped her shoulder and pulled her into an embrace. The heavy, icy blue armor, mixed with the light of emotion, instantly enveloped the auspicious beast.

With a flick of his fingers, Huo Yuhao's eyes, gleaming with golden flames, met Huo Yuhao's gaze calmly: "Open." The ten-zhang-long sword then twisted with a clang, and the chilling aura within it suddenly surged forth as the sword's light dissipated, mixing the eerie light with the frost and snow storm, transforming it into an energy wave that swept across the surrounding forests.

Although the auspicious beast nestled in Huo Yuhao's arms was in the eye of the storm, it only felt a gentle breeze on its face. As it approached, the breeze quietly disintegrated on the surface of the armor, leaving no force other than to ruffle Huo Yuhao's slightly grown hair.

"This girl..."

Huo Yuhao turned his face, which had transformed into a jade color through layers of metamorphosis, and met the gaze of the auspicious beast. He slowly frowned and asked, "Have we met somewhere before?"

"You and I…"

The mythical beast's eyes flickered a few times, and urged by its wildly beating heart, it dodged to the side: "...Perhaps?"

"what?"

Huo Yuhao's gaze froze before the atmosphere could even last a few seconds, instantly ruining the delicate tension between them: "What do you mean by 'approximately'? Is it inconvenient to say?"

If you've met before, why not just nod in agreement? Why are you making such a fuss?

"you!"

The auspicious beast's eyes, which had just shown a slight ripple, changed instantly, and its face flushed red: "You lecherous scoundrel!"

With a roar, a terrifying force that made Huo Yuhao's expression change instantly slammed out, heading straight for his chest.

"boom!"

The power of a furious attack unleashed at point-blank range is unimaginable. Even the auspicious beast regretted its attack the moment it was launched, but what met the attack head-on was a hand as white as jade.

As the force blasted out with a deafening roar, unleashing a terrifying shockwave that compressed the air, Huo Yuhao's hand, which was blocking his chest, also emitted a deep, chilling aura.

The two forces clashed and intertwined, but it all happened in an instant. All the outside world could see was the fierce attack that occurred in the blink of an eye, and the inhuman power that stirred up huge waves of earth on the surrounding ground.

"Please~"

Huo Yuhao, with a helpless expression, pressed his fist against the ground and clenched it tightly, creating a thunderous sound in the air that forced the auspicious beast's arm to sprout a layer of illusory golden scales: "Isn't this kind of greeting a bit frightening?"

It had to be him. Otherwise, any Soul Saint standing here would have been knocked to the ground, mute, by a single punch from the auspicious beast. If someone were weaker or slower to react, they might have been buried on the spot.

"you……"

The mythical beast struggled a few times, but Huo Yuhao held it even tighter, causing a slight pain in the back of its hand.

Looking at the other person's expression again, even with her composure, she could tell that the person in front of her was somewhat angry, and then the force gradually subsided.

"anything else?"

But Huo Yuhao still didn't let go: "Don't you have anything to say?"

"you--"

The mythical beast's expression hardened, but under Huo Yuhao's increasingly cold gaze, it suppressed its temper and reluctantly uttered, "I'm sorry."

"Forgive you."

Huo Yuhao's eyes warmed instantly. He gently patted her shoulder to comfort her, then turned to look at the soul beast struggling wildly inside the silkworm's molt: "Troublesome opponent... I really don't know how you guys offended him."

"What words!"

Wang Dong retracted his butterfly wings and landed behind Huo Yuhao, suddenly reaching out to lock his neck: "How dare you doubt me, young master? Do we look like the kind of people who would deliberately cause trouble!"

"Yuhao..."

As soon as Xiao Xiao regained her footing, her expression softened, she was pulled into Huo Yuhao's embrace. Wang Dong, behind him, also released her hold, resting her face on Huo Yuhao's shoulder: "Another year has passed! I really—"

I miss you very much.
