Battle Through the Heavens II: Three Phases of Peerless Power, One Soul and Four Bodies

Upon hearing this, everyone fell silent, their eyes filled with a hint of worry as they looked towards the competition field.

On the field, Meng Hongchen's eyes flashed with a sharp light. His first spirit ring slowly rose, and two sword shadows flashed out as he coldly snorted, "First spirit skill, Ice Toad Poison!"

Suddenly, a cloud of snow-white mist mixed with dark green powder flew towards Luo Jiuxiao.

Upon seeing this, Luo Jiuxiao instinctively activated his soul power shield, and his martial soul rose accordingly. Soon, Luo Jiuxiao knew what the mist was. Despite activating the soul power shield, it couldn't completely block the flow of "qi." A frosty sensation slowly crept up his body and arms, making him feel as if he were about to lose consciousness.

Immediately afterwards, his skin, which had been rapidly cooled, felt a burning sensation. This alternation between hot and cold made him feel suffocated and unable to breathe.

In just a moment, Luo Jiuxiao sensed the power of the mist. Startled, he jumped back a few steps to temporarily avoid the poisonous gas.

He was astonished. "Such potent toxicity, and it's an area-of-effect attack! Area-of-effect damage usually reduces the effectiveness of the poison, but her toxicity is incredibly strong! It seems we must finish this quickly!"

Then his hand transformed into a tiger claw, producing a crimson flame. Luo Jiuxiao's mind was indeed sometimes good and sometimes bad. At this moment, he made the most correct decision, which was to activate his two amplification skills.

First, the crimson flame in his hand was crushed with a whoosh.

To defeat this powerful enemy, he needed sufficient strength to win. In an instant, a bolt of lightning flashed across his body, activating the Awakening of Flames!

Awakening of Flame not only amplifies power but also enhances physical constitution and resistance, increasing resistance to poison.

At the same time, his third purple soul ring lit up, and the Crimson Tiger Martial Soul behind him roared. Then he immediately launched an attack on Meng Hongchen with the momentum of a tiger descending the mountain.

The firelight traveled through the poisonous fog, and the remaining flames in the air were quickly engulfed by the fog. Seeing this, Meng Hongchen remained relaxed. She raised her ice and fire swords and made a cross shape, coldly looking at Luo Jiuxiao.

The blazing flames rapidly approached, and soon the two began to clash between tiger claws and sword blades. The first collision was still accompanied by a loud "boom." After unleashing the Fierce Tiger Descending the Mountain technique, Luo Jiuxiao's next attack would unleash approximately three times the attack power, thus giving Meng Hongchen a very shocking impact.

As the twin blades collided with Luo Jiuxiao's heavy fist, a burst of fiery power erupted, blasting Meng Hongchen back several meters. She slid along the ground with her twin swords for several meters before finally stopping, her heart filled with shock.

"Such power! Hmph, but once I've reached the point where the poison takes effect, I'm certain of victory!"

However, Luo Jiuxiao would not sit idly by and wait for death. After knocking his opponent back with a heavy punch, he immediately released three fireballs to launch a long-range attack on Meng Hongchen, and then charged forward again.

Seeing this, Meng Hongchen somersaulted and jumped, easily dodging the fireball. At this moment, Luo Jiuxiao was not far from her. Luo Jiuxiao was not in a hurry. Although he was suffering from the poison of the Ice Toad every moment, he remained calm. Only in this way could he find the opponent's weakness. Moreover, she must also have an invincible shield.

Meng Hongchen wasn't in a hurry; as long as she continued to stall, her advantage would only grow stronger. However, everyone had witnessed Luo Qianba's strength. As Luo Qianba's younger brother and the ninth among the Ten Heroes of the Luo Clan, could his strength be lacking?

meeting!

Undeniably, he was indeed the weakest among the Ten Heroes in the early to mid-stages, but! That was only in comparison to his elder brother.

After several exchanges, Luo Jiuxiao finally found an opening in his opponent's defenses. He deflected the fire sword with his tiger claws, dodged the ice sword with a sidestep, and struck his opponent in the abdomen with a fiery fist.

"Hmm!"

Meng Hongchen winced in pain and was secretly shocked. She realized that her opponent's physical skills were too strong. His footwork was light and steady, and his punches were extremely fierce. In addition, his unparalleled explosive power surprised her.

"A great opportunity!"

Luo Jiuxiao immediately launched a series of fierce attacks, determined to inflict more damage and exhaustion on his opponent before he fell.

However, Meng Hongchen was no ordinary person. After being injured, she immediately distanced herself, gritted her teeth, and sent out two sword beams that slashed towards Luo Jiuxiao.

After dodging the two sword beams, Luo Jiuxiao suddenly felt a tightness in his chest and had some difficulty breathing. "Cough cough~ Damn it, such strong poison, I feel like my body's power is sealed~~" Luo Jiuxiao didn't think too much about it. Since his movements were hindered, he would release a ranged attack.

He immediately summoned the Xuanming Ghost Fire and hurled it at Meng Hongchen. Having witnessed the previous matches, Meng Hongchen knew the power of the Xuanming Ghost Fire and dared not be careless. However, the ghost fire was still tracking, and after dodging a few times, she realized she was surrounded and had nowhere to escape.

In the critical moment, Meng Hongchen decisively used an invincible shield. Instantly, a blue light enveloped her, and her soul power flowed into the invincible shield to form an extremely thick shield. Even though the damage from the Xuanming Ghost Fire could be continuously stacked, it could not shake this level 5 soul tool. After all, a level 5 invincible shield could withstand any attack from a soul master below the eighth ring for three seconds.

Luo Jiuxiao was delighted to see Meng Hongchen use an invincible shield. Forcing out an opponent's invincible shield would greatly weaken Meng Hongchen's strength, making it easier for his next teammate to defeat her.

But as the saying goes, a soldier who doesn't want to be a general is not a good soldier. If Luo Jiuxiao can switch places with her by relying on himself, why not?

At this moment, he could feel the toad venom had invaded his heart meridian, but he resolutely unleashed his power again, determined to kill his opponent.

So Luo Jiuxiao pushed off with his feet and moved forward at lightning speed. While the opponent was still resisting the Xuanming Ghost Fire, he had already arrived in front of him. Then, he gritted his teeth, and the Crimson Flame Xuan Tiger let out a low roar. Intense flames ignited on Luo Jiuxiao's body, and the powerful Crimson Flame Power ignited on his body. His body was gradually covered by flames, and his rage was evident. His expression instantly became ferocious.

Meng Hongchen looked at Luo Jiuxiao, who had suddenly rushed in front of her and was burning his body to gather power. Her heart pounded, and fear instantly spread throughout her body. Her invincible shield was about to end, and when it did, Luo Jiuxiao's attack would surely follow.

A thought flashed through her mind, and her expression instantly changed from fear to determination, indicating that she had made her choice.

The next instant, a faint light flashed across her fingers.

call out!

"Drink!"

In the blink of an eye, just as Luo Jiuxiao released his second soul skill, Crimson Flame Explosion, after charging up, Meng Hongchen vanished from the spot, leaving only a deafening explosion. Luo Jiuxiao had somehow managed to disappear!
