Douluo Continent: Martial Soul Young Gilas, Sandstorm King!

Chapter 158 You... why are you so amazing?

First, it was at the hip joint of the hind leg that was struck by Lin Xia's lightning punch.

The violent electric current disrupted the stability of the tissue, and the high-temperature shockwave from the Younger Gilas's Flame Fist spread here, like igniting a powder keg!
The forces of thunder and fire clashed and annihilated each other, generating violent energy turbulence that instantly blasted the muscle tissue there into a bloody mess and caused spiderweb-like cracks to appear in the bones!

Immediately afterward, at the waist and ribs where Youngkiras's Flame Fist struck: the extreme heat was scorching, and the residual current from Lin Xia's Lightning Fist was like a spark splashing into a pot of oil!

The electric current stimulated the tissues that had been burned and weakened by the high temperature, triggering a more violent chain reaction!

It was as if a small furnace of thunder and fire had been ignited inside it!

Finally, the secondary and tertiary explosions were caused by the collision and flow of two violent energies within the Shadow Leopard's meridians!
Bang!Bang!Bang!
A series of muffled and terrifying explosions rang out from inside the Shadow Panther!
Its once lithe and graceful body was now like a tattered sack, convulsing and twisting wildly under the violent shockwave of the explosion!
Large patches of black fur were charred and curled up, revealing the bloodied flesh underneath, some parts of which were even charred from being fried!
The blue arcs of electricity and the crimson sparks continued to leap and flicker stubbornly at the wound, causing burning and paralysis!

The strong smell of burning, blood, and earthiness permeated the sandstorm, only to be quickly swept away by the gale.

Just two punches!

Lin Xia and Young Gilas's perfectly timed and perfectly coordinated attack instantly dealt a severe blow to this arrogant, stealthy, five-thousand-year-old soul beast. Covered in blood, its aura weakened to the extreme, it collapsed on the sandstorm-ravaged ground, emitting a painful and weak wail, unable to stand up again.

Zhu Zhuqing, curled up in the hollow of the tree root, covered her mouth tightly to keep from screaming.

Her small body trembled slightly from extreme shock and fear, but her originally lifeless and cold black eyes were now wide open, filled with an unbelievable and turbulent atmosphere!

What did she see?
That terrifying sandstorm, which blotted out the sky and had a diameter of 600 meters... Is this the kind of commotion that a Great Soul Master could create?
This was even more shocking than any legend she had ever heard about powerful Soul Masters!

This is simply a natural disaster!
It's divine punishment!
Lin Xia's brother's ferocious posture, with flames and lightning igniting in both hands at the same time... was he simultaneously controlling two completely opposite and extremely violent elemental attributes?
This completely overturned her understanding of Soul Masters' Soul Skills!
The intense heat of the flames stung her skin even from this distance, and the oppressive force of the thunder made her soul tremble!

And then there's Young Gilas... that little guy who usually looks cute and cuddly, and occasionally rubs against her, is terrifying when he gets angry!
The power that burst forth from that small body was in no way inferior to that of Brother Lin Xia!
Even more amazing than Brother Lin Xia!
The two (beasts) worked together seamlessly. With just one combined attack, they brought the five-thousand-year-old soul beast that had filled her with despair and exuded a terrifying aura to the brink of death!
The Ghost Cat's pride lies in its speed and stealth...

What does it matter in the face of such absolute power and catastrophic domain?
The rigorous training within her family, the brutal competition, the suffocating fate...

Faced with this cataclysmic scene, it seems... not so unshakeable?
A thought, like a thunderclap, exploded in her mind, which was blank with shock.

Brother Lin Xia…who exactly is he? Is he…really just a Great Soul Master?
The sandstorm continued to howl violently, carrying with it the stench of blood and burnt earth.

Lin Xia's eyes were icy cold in the eye of the sandstorm; the bloody wind brought by the dying counterattack of the Shadow Leopard couldn't even stir the stray hairs on his forehead.

Those dark golden pupils locked onto the struggling, lunging black figure without the slightest hesitation or any unnecessary movement.

"ended."

Lin Xia whispered, the lightning in her left hand still lingering, while the flames in her right hand reignited!

"Fire Fist!"

"Thunder Fist!"

The two fists were not thrown out simultaneously, but rather with a near-perfect sense of rhythm.

The left fist, burning with crimson flames, slammed into the side of the Shadow Leopard's barely raised head. The extreme heat instantly scorched its fur, and the enormous impact made its head tilt sharply to the side, halting its pent-up counterattack!
Almost at the same instant the left fist struck, the right fist, crackling with blinding purple lightning, emerged like a venomous dragon from its lair, precisely and ruthlessly piercing the Shadow Leopard's throat, which was wide open from the blow!
Boom—Sizzle!
The violent tearing of thunder and the explosive burning of flames erupted simultaneously within the Shadow Panther's vulnerable throat! Dark blue electric snakes surged wildly, and crimson flames spewed forth from within!

The Shadow Leopard's final mournful cry was choked in its burning throat, its body convulsing violently as if all its bones had been removed, and the ferocious light in its eyes was instantly replaced by the deathly gray.

Its massive body crashed heavily to the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust. The acrid smell of burning and electric shock filled the sandstorm, only to be quickly swept away by the violent air currents.

Once Lin Xia was certain the threat was completely eliminated, a thought crossed her mind.

"Disperse."

The raging sandstorm surrounding him and Zhu Zhuqing, with a diameter of 600 meters, was like a tsunami being smoothed out by an invisible giant hand. The swirling sand wall suddenly lost its support, and billions of grains of sand, like iron filings that had lost their magnetism, poured down with a whooshing sound, forming a brief spectacle of a golden waterfall before finally subsiding completely and returning to the earth.

"Yoji!"

Almost the instant Lin Xia dispelled her soul skill, Young Gilas also withdrew his power.

The yellow dust that filled the sky and blocked out the sunlight settled and disappeared quickly, like the receding tide.

The light, distorted by the sandstorm, returned to normal, and the afterglow of the setting sun shone again, turning the devastated mountain forest golden and red.

However, the forest now looks completely different from before—within a few hundred meters, trees have been either cut in half or stripped of their bark and leaves, leaving only bare branches. The ground looks as if it has been turned over by a giant plow, with exposed rocks and crisscrossing ravines.

Lin Xia stood at the eye of the sandstorm, looking at the masterpiece she had created, and her lips twitched involuntarily.

Even though he was mentally prepared, the super sandstorm formed by the fusion of Larva's dual characteristics (sandstorm + sand power) still exceeded his expectations.

"This power... is indeed a bit too abnormal."

He muttered something under his breath, feeling the soul power being consumed within his body, and estimating the degree of threat this move posed to a Soul King-level expert.

Just then, faint footsteps approached.

Zhu Zhuqing walked over cautiously.

Her face was still a little pale, a result of lingering fear, but her clear, obsidian-like eyes were now shining with an unprecedented light.

The light was almost overflowing; it was pure, undisguised awe and... worship!
She witnessed the whole thing!

That devastating sandstorm, that lightning and fire fist that instantly tore apart a five-thousand-year-old soul beast!
This was not the power a Great Soul Master should possess in her understanding at all!
This exceeded all her expectations of "powerful"!
"Brother Lin Xia..."

Zhu Zhuqing's voice trembled slightly with excitement. She tilted her small face up and stared at Lin Xia with her big eyes, as if she were looking at a god walking among mortals.

"You...how are you so amazing?"
