Douluo: The Throne of Ice

Chapter 53 Absolute Crushing Victory (Please Read On)

As soon as Shu Yan finished speaking, three more figures suddenly appeared on the empty arena.

Chen Ming and Wang Lin both had the optimal combination of two yellow and two purple talismans under their feet, with the Fiery Lion and Black Tiger martial spirits possessing them respectively. Their auras surged, flames and darkness intertwined, and then they launched a fierce attack on Shu Yan.

Behind the two, a burly man with an honest appearance and a height of over two meters had also released his martial spirit.

With the same four-ring configuration, and accompanied by the Martial Soul's possession, his entire body swelled up once again. His terrifying muscles broke through the constraints of his clothing, and a crystal-like shell had condensed on his exposed skin. At the same time, a pair of huge tusks were revealed, and after a piercing mammoth's cry, the big man roared, and the arena beneath his feet trembled slightly with his steps. This was none other than a top-tier beast Martial Soul that had long disappeared from the continent—the Diamond Mammoth!

Facing the combined attack of three Soul Masters, Shu Yan still did not release his Martial Soul. A flash of icy blue light passed through his eyes, and Chen Ming, who was originally surrounded by flames, immediately felt a terrifying pressure as if the sky had collapsed.

The absolute suppression of ordinary fire attribute by ultimate ice took effect, and the flames swirling around him slowly extinguished. His martial spirit was directly suppressed back into his body. Looking at his body, which had returned to normal, Chen Ming looked around in confusion, and then heard Luo Qinghan's cold voice:

"Haven't you embarrassed yourself enough? Get down here!"

Chen Ming shuddered, and just then met Shu Yan's smiling eyes. He clenched his fist, then resolutely turned and left without even looking back.

What a joke! Facing the Ice and Snow Maiden of Ultimate Ice, what was he, a fire-attribute soul master who has nothing to do with ultimate fire, doing by getting involved? Now look what happened, he didn't even manage to show off, and he completely lost face.

Just as Chen Ming was leaving, Shu Yan on the other side was once again surrounded and attacked by three people.

Wang Lin's offensive was extremely swift, his sharp tiger claws leaving afterimages in mid-air. After his martial soul was attached to him, he had some black hair on his body, and his pupils turned into vertical pupils. His attributes were basically more than doubled. Facing Shu Yan, who was not using his martial soul, although he had no hope of suppressing him, he could at least hold him back for a while and create opportunities for the others to attack.

Meanwhile, a massive diamond mammoth phantom materialized, and as its iron hooves pounded down, Shu Yan's figure vanished like a ghost. The speed was so fast that Qian Gu Yue Yin, who was attacking from behind with a staff, narrowed his eyes. The next moment, the mammoth's iron hooves and the Panlong Staff, which was wrapped in dark golden soul power, passed each other, and the arena, which was forged from special metal, was smashed into a large crater.

Upon returning to godhood, the immense recoil caused Qian Gu Yueyin to once again lose control of the Panlong Staff. Shu Yan appeared unharmed not far behind the two of them. He smiled and snapped his fingers, causing layers of ice spikes to rise from the ground. As the cold light flashed, Hu Yanhao suddenly shielded Qian Gu Yueyin behind him. The third purple soul ring beneath his feet lit up, and instantly, a massive black shield inlaid with numerous gems appeared on the two of them.

This is his third soul skill, Giant Armor Shield!

Hu Yanhao roared, and the layers of ice spikes collided directly with his shield. Countless ice crystals shattered with a crisp sound, and the shards of ice left fine bloodstains on his body. The next moment, as he suddenly raised his giant shield, he successfully intercepted all the ice spikes.

The icy mist that permeated the surroundings had not yet dissipated. Shu Yan looked at Hu Yanhao, who was panting heavily, with some surprise. He seemed not to have expected that the defensive capabilities of the Diamond Mammoth Martial Soul would be so strong.

But before he could express any further feelings, a powerful mental wave suddenly struck from behind, affecting his consciousness for less than a second. When Shu Yan opened his eyes again, he slowly turned around, looked at Luo Qinghan sitting in a wheelchair being pushed by Tian Ling, shook his head, and then said:

"You timed it well, knowing to strike when I was distracted. But your mental strength isn't strong enough, and neither is that little girl who's been hiding in the shadows. If you don't want to suffer a backlash, don't use your mental skills on me. I won't be responsible if something goes wrong."

As soon as he finished speaking, another surge of spiritual energy came, but it was far inferior to Luo Qinghan's.

Shu Yan sighed helplessly. The protection that Electrolux had left in his mental sea was triggered. The next moment, a scream came. Less than five meters away from Luo Qinghan and the other person, a girl in a black dress appeared from the darkness. She was kneeling on the ground in pain, covering her head. Obviously, she had suffered a backlash from mental power.

Luo Qinghan's grip on the wheelchair handle tightened suddenly. She looked at Shu Yan, who was impeccably dressed, and then said softly:

"Tianling, go down and help them. I will make my move when the opportunity arises. You just need to do your best to knock him off the arena."

Tian Ling leaned forward slightly, a charming smile playing on her lips, and then she said softly:

"You let a lady like her fool around, shouldn't you give her some kind of reward? Hmm?"

Luo Qinghan seemed somewhat uncomfortable with Tian Ling's proximity. She slightly turned her head and then said coldly:

"Don't try your usual tricks on me, or I won't hesitate to use my mental power to control you and make you fight."

Tian Ling stiffened, then seemed to recall some unpleasant past events. She smiled helplessly and said:

"Stop making these scary jokes, okay? I'll go fight them, alright?"

Luo Qinghan merely glanced sideways at Tian Ling, his smoky blue eyes flashing with a chilling light. Tian Ling instinctively shivered and chuckled again:

"I'm coming down right now, don't be angry, it was kind of scary..."

As she spoke, Tianling took a few quick steps, braced herself against the metal railing with one hand, and then easily leaped into the arena below.

With the same two yellow and two purple color scheme, after the martial soul was possessed, Tian Ling's aura changed, suddenly becoming somewhat fierce and murderous. Golden scales, like snake scales, slowly covered her exposed skin. Shu Yan noticed the movement, turned around, and said with a smile:

"What? You're also eager to get beaten up?"

Tian Ling smiled alluringly, her jade hands, now transformed into golden claws, lightly touched, sparks flying. She said with a hint of helplessness:

"You think I wanted to make a fool of myself? But what can I do? I can't beat that ice block, so I have to come down and take the beating. Little brother, you'd better be gentle with your big sister later..."

Shu Yan raised an eyebrow, chuckled, and nodded. Then, his figure suddenly surged forward, and a punch imbued with icy blue soul power caused Tian Ling's pupils to shrink sharply. Before she could even put on a resentful and astonished expression, her first soul ring rapidly rose from her feet, and a layer of golden armor, as if cast from gold, suddenly appeared on her body. But the next moment, Tian Ling's figure flew off the arena like a cannonball and embedded itself hard in the wall below the spectator stands.

Luo Qinghan's lips twitched on the stage, and she casually raised one hand to cover her face.

Shu Yan looked at Tian Ling, whose eyes still held a hint of confusion and tears, and then chuckled softly as he said:

"I'm letting you off the stage early to rest. No need to thank me too much. I've had enough fun with you all. Wait a moment, your friends will be down to join you soon..."

As he spoke, ice gathered in Shu Yan's hand, and a beautifully shaped, slender halberd appeared. A terrifying sense of oppression swept across the entire arena. Seeing the situation was dire, Wang Lin decisively chose to betray his teammate, jumping off the arena without looking back. Hu Yanhao, standing to the side, couldn't help but take two steps back, cowering as he looked at Qian Gu Yueyin beside him, asking with a hint of a sob in his voice:

"Sister Yue, what do we do now?"

Qian Gu Yueyin gritted her teeth, a trickle of bright red blood dripping from her wrist. Looking at Shu Yan, whose aura remained completely still, a surge of indescribable humiliation and powerlessness rose within her. Suppressing this strange feeling, she then said:

"You do your best to hold him off for a while. I still have one last fighting chance. I refuse to believe that he can withstand the Unyielding Staff Technique that Grandpa personally taught me..."

Hu Yanhao hesitated for a moment, but finally gritted his teeth and went to meet him...
