Douluo: The Thousand-Faced Angel in the Dragon King

Chapter 31 Victory over Lingbing, Battle against Yunming

Qian Mo's expression was unusually serious, because Huo Yuhao in front of him was really troublesome, because this guy's cheat code was indeed a bit too much.

However, the burden I carry is not small either!

The Demon Lord with the Demon Eyes vanished, the Seven Kill Sword disappeared from his hand, Qian Mo's eyes turned golden, an eight-winged angel bloomed behind him, and two thousand-year soul rings rose from his feet.

As Qian Mo's soul power level increased, the potential within his Six-Winged Seraph Martial Soul was gradually unleashed. Thus, when Qian Mo broke through to level 20, his Six-Winged Seraph Martial Soul also broke through, naturally transforming into an Eight-Winged Seraph Martial Soul.

"Twin martial souls, as expected, how could Qian Mo, the young master of the Holy Angel Clan, not have an angelic martial soul!" Ya Li exclaimed. At the same time, her regard for Qian Mo deepened even further.

Qianmo ascended into the air, taking advantage of air superiority to seize the initiative, and attacked Huo Yuhao from multiple directions with the Holy Cross Sword, engaging him in guerrilla warfare.

Huo Yuhao covered his body with a layer of ice crystals for defense, while the holy flames on the Thousand Mo Sacred Cross Sword spread across his body, with extreme fire and extreme ice engaging in an intertwining of ice and fire.

Although the ultimate ice and ultimate fire are locked in a stalemate, the current situation on the field is still unfavorable for Huo Yuhao, and he must find a way to defeat Qian Mo.

Huo Yuhao then switched back to his Spirit Eye Martial Soul. His third Soul Ring suddenly shone brightly, and a pure white halo enveloped Qian Mo at that moment. The weakened light caused the attacked person's speed and abilities to drop significantly, leaving them extremely weak.

The Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion Martial Soul cannot strike the air, but its mental attacks can ignore terrain.

But this time the situation was a little different; a small golden halo lit up behind Qianmo's head.

The small halo trembled slightly, and the weak light suddenly collapsed and vanished without a trace.

"This is... a soul bone!" Ya Li exclaimed, her eyes wide with surprise. Because soul beasts were on the verge of extinction, soul bones were extremely rare in this era. Even she had never seen more than a few. She never expected that Qian Mo, at such a young age, would possess a soul bone.

Qianmo just used the Angel Skull Soul Bone Skill from the Angel Set: Angel Gathering.

It adds an angelic halo, increasing the user's mental strength by 30%, which can help Qianmo resist mental attacks. The effect is even better when used while possessed by the Eight-Winged Seraph Martial Soul.

With the blessing of the angelic aura, Huo Yuhao's advantage in mental attacks was completely negated.

Huo Yuhao's expression changed, but before he could come up with a countermeasure, Qian Mo unfurled eight wings on his back, raised the Holy Cross Sword high, gathered holy energy into the sword body, and concentrated holy flames into the sword tip. The Holy Cross Slash, which had consumed more than half of Qian Mo's power, descended from the sky. It was so fast that no one could escape its attack range.

"boom!"

A vibrant green light instantly emanated from Huo Yuhao, and behind him, the faint shadow of the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion flashed and disappeared.

Huo Yuhao punched the ground, and a layer of icy blue light instantly spread outwards, causing crystal-clear ice flowers to form on the surrounding ground.

The Holy Cross Slash extinguished its holy flames upon contact with the icy azure halo, instead forming a layer of frost and freezing in mid-air. Huo Yuhao finally shattered the Holy Cross Slash with a single punch using the Ice Emperor's Claw.

Qian Mo frowned as he looked at the shattered Holy Cross Slash on the ground and murmured, "The Domain of Eternal Freeze!"

The domain-type soul skill derived from the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion's torso bone rapidly froze the area around his body, capable of freezing everything within a thousand miles. It was precisely by relying on this domain-type soul skill that Huo Yuhao managed to withstand the Holy Cross Slash.

Domain-type soul skills are powerful, but they consume too much energy for Huo Yuhao, who is only level 35. He is currently weakened, as if he has been hit by a weakening soul skill, resulting in a double weakening of his mental and soul power.

"This is the perfect opportunity!" Qian Mo brandished the Holy Cross Sword, its eight wings flapping as it charged toward Huo Yuhao like an arrow released from a bow.

Huo Yuhao switched to his Spirit Eye Martial Soul and began mental detection, seeing Qian Mo's every move.

Perfectly predicting Qian Mo's next landing point, Huo Yuhao twisted his body at an extreme speed, and the Holy Cross Sword grazed his cheek, leaving a small bloodstain.

Huo Yuhao's eyes narrowed as he stared intently at Qian Mo, who was standing close at hand. Five dark golden claws shot out from his right hand. He steadied himself on his right foot, exerted force from his waist, and swung his dark golden claws at Qian Mo.

Instantly, a strong dark golden light burst forth, and the powerful dark golden claw transformed into a three-meter-long dark golden claw shadow in the air, striking towards Qian Mo.

The right palm bone of the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear—I'd forgotten about that! Qian Mo was startled, and his second millennium soul ring instantly shone brightly.

"Bang!"

Huo Yuhao, who was knocked back by the powerful impact, staggered to his feet and gasped for breath as he watched the thick smoke billow up from the collision of the two powerful energies.

As the thick smoke gradually dissipated, it revealed the scene behind him: Qian Mo, leaning on the Holy Cross Sword, kneeling on one knee, with eight wings that had grown larger and longer folded together in front of him to protect him.

Countless dazzling rays of light flowed along the eight wings in various strange trajectories, finally converging at the point where the wings folded together to form a golden cross shield.

Despite taking a direct hit from the Dark Gold Terror Claw, the cross shield only bore a shallow claw mark; most of the Dark Gold claw energy was dissolved by the purifying power of the shield the moment it made contact.

Qian Mo was also panting heavily, his face noticeably pale. If it weren't for his powerful defensive soul skill, the Holy Cross Shield, which was his second soul skill, he would have failed at the last moment!

The latest novel is first published here!

The cross shield dissipated, and Qian Mo put away the Eight-Winged Seraph Martial Soul. Huo Yuhao tremblingly raised his hand, and a sharp sword pierced his chest from behind.

Looking back, it turned out to be the Seven Kill Swordsman puppet. Then, looking at Qian Mo, it was clear he had somehow donned a divine mask martial spirit.

Huo Yuhao was so exhausted that he didn't even notice someone sneaking up behind him without him noticing.

"Hero's Platform, Level 3, cleared!"

Ya Li and the other two were speechless for a long time after witnessing this scene. They were not only shocked that he had passed the third test, but also horrified that his opponent was Huo Yuhao, yet he had actually defeated him.

"Incredible! Incredible! The younger generation is truly formidable!" Zhuoshi exclaimed, stroking his beard.

"Heroic Arena Combat Assessment, Fourth Stage: Opponent's Level Increased to Forty-One!"

As the electronic female voice faded, a handsome and refined young man appeared in Qianmo's presence.

Who is this person? A question arose in Qian Mo's mind.

When the three examiners outside saw Qianmo's challenger, they were all taken aback, and then they all looked at Yali at the same time.

With a casual wave of his hand, the handsome young man summoned a long spear that radiated an incandescent light, with four soul rings encircling it.

The spear's shaft was almost transparent, with a blade at only one end, but the blade was exceptionally long, almost a third of its length. Its sharp edge emitted a flickering light. Below the blade, where it connected to the shaft, two ancient characters, "擎天" (Qingtian, meaning "Supporting the Sky"), were engraved.
