Douluo Continent: Starting with a Heavenly Fire Judgment

Chapter 164 Powerful Support

The black light of the Xuanming Turtle Shield in Xu Sanshi's hand shone brightly, and the light pointed directly at Xu Jiujiu.

But at that moment, the star crown on Princess Jiujiu's head shone brightly, and a strong golden beam of light shot into the sky.

The interior of this golden pillar of light was entirely composed of golden mist, with starlight swirling and rising within it, creating an extremely strange appearance. From its appearance alone, it was impossible to determine the function of this soul skill.

Xu Sanshi's Xuanming Displacement was blocked by the golden pillar of light and failed to lock onto Princess Jiujiu. However, he was not surprised. His Xuanming Displacement had already been exposed. If Princess Jiujiu did not have a way to break through, how could she stand so brazenly in his field of vision?

Seeing that Xu Sanshi's Xuanming Replacement had failed, Ma Xiaotao and the others were not surprised and launched an attack immediately.

Ling Luochen also summoned her ice staff, raising it high above her head. The ice staff emitted a dense mist that spread out to both sides at an astonishing speed, forming a huge arc that seemed to be clamping down on her opponent.

Ji Lin and the others were completely hidden in the icy mist.

This is Ling Luochen's fourth soul skill, Icy Mist.

It releases ice mist to form a huge arc, which can be used to hide oneself, control the spread to freeze enemies, and corrode the enemy's soul skills.

Princess Jiujiu breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that the golden light in front of her had blocked Xu Sanshi's Xuanming Replacement. Xu Sanshi's Xuanming Replacement was too unfriendly to support-type soul masters.

Fortunately, she was right; the golden light of the Starry Sky Technique could block the lock of the Dark Netherworld Replacement.

Thinking of this, Xu Jiujiu coldly glanced at the ice mist that covered half of the arena opposite her. The golden pillar of light that enveloped her burst open, turning into golden mist that quickly spread out and enveloped the other six members of her side.

Instantly, every member of the Star Luo Royal Team was enveloped in a layer of gold, and the golden halo around Princess Jiu Jiu's body did not dissipate, with starlight still surging out from her star crown.

They were clearly still on guard against Xu Sanshi's Xuanming Replacement.

Ma Xiaotao was the fastest, instantly bursting out of the icy mist. Blazing phoenix flames shot into the sky, and her huge phoenix wings spread out, spewing a stream of phoenix fire towards one of the Soul Kings on Xu Jiujiu's side.

This Soul King is named Huang Heyun. Being able to stand at the front, he is naturally a powerful offensive Soul Master. Before Princess Jiujiu appeared, he was always the one who represented the Star Luo Royal Academy to draw lots on stage.

Huang Heyun's martial spirit is also quite powerful. With the release of his martial spirit, a dense black aura swirls around his body, his figure swells, and solid muscles bulge. On his forehead, there is even a "king" character similar to Dai Yueheng's. The difference is that the hair that grows on his body is neither white nor yellow, but black, pure black.

Dark Demon Tiger—that is his martial soul. A rare dark attribute, yet he is not an evil soul master. His powerful dark energy endows him with talent comparable to Dai Yueheng's White Tiger.

Moreover, at this moment, his body was not simply black, but also covered by a layer of golden mist emanating from behind. The dense golden mist merged with his black soul power, without any clash between light and darkness. Instead, it rendered his soul power into a dark gold color with specks of starlight, which looked quite peculiar.

With Princess Jiujiu's assistance, Huang Heyun showed no fear in the face of Soul Emperor Ma Xiaotao. He roared to the sky and charged forward without hesitation, throwing a punch in the air. His first soul ring shone with yellow light, and instantly, a dark golden semi-circular light shield with a diameter of more than one meter burst forth in the air.

Sparks flew as the Phoenix Fire Line was blocked head-on. This was Huang Heyun's first soul skill, Dark Wave.

With the enhancement of Princess Jiujiu's third soul skill, Starry Sky Technique, it is in no way inferior to Ma Xiaotao's first soul skill, the Evil Fire Phoenix Soul Emperor.

The Phoenix Fireline was blocked by the first soul skill of a Soul King, leaving Ma Xiaotao somewhat stunned.

Moreover, the dark wave not only blocked the Phoenix Fire Line but also rushed towards Ma Xiaotao with its remaining power. It was so close that there was no time for hesitation. Ma Xiaotao's right palm had already pressed against the dark wave, and with a soft "poof," the dark wave shattered instantly. Flames erupted from Ma Xiaotao's right hand, and intense phoenix flames surged forth, sweeping directly towards Huang Heyunxi. Second Soul Skill, Phoenix Reborn in Flames.

Faced with Ma Xiaotao's attack, Huang Heyun made a backward movement, slightly lowering his body. His third soul ring lit up, and soul power shining with dark golden starlight surged out with a loud tiger roar, transforming into a tiger shape and crashing into Ma Xiaotao's phoenix flames.

This is his third soul skill, Demon Tiger Shocks the Heavens.

In the close-range collision, Ma Xiaotao's Phoenix Flame was actually suppressed by Huang Heyun's Demon Tiger Shocking Heaven. With the amplification of the Star Radiance Technique, Demon Tiger Shocking Heaven broke through the Phoenix Flame and pounced on Ma Xiaotao.

Ma Xiaotao was completely shocked. A Soul King, amplified by Princess Jiujiu's third Soul Skill, could now rival her, a level 68 Soul Emperor. Although she hadn't used her full strength yet, it was still astonishing. No wonder it was the Star Crown Martial Soul, renowned throughout the continent! It truly lived up to its reputation.

Thinking of this, Ma Xiaotao became serious. With a loud phoenix cry, her fiery wings suddenly unfurled, and in that instant, Ma Xiaotao seemed to truly transform into a fire phoenix. The blazing phoenix flames suddenly intensified from fiery red to incandescent white. The sudden surge in temperature caused Dai Yueheng and Bei Bei, who had just emerged from the icy mist and arrived behind her, to quickly put some distance between them.

As the flames rose, the demonic tiger's radiant form, which had been transformed into a terrifying demonic tiger, was instantly reduced to ashes by the intense heat.

With a flash, Ma Xiaotao arrived in front of Huang Heyun and unleashed a burst of Phoenix Fire, the blazing flames shooting towards Huang Heyun.

Without Ji Lin, Ma Xiaotao wouldn't dare to go all out, as she would easily be consumed by the evil fire. But with Ji Lin around, she could fight with all her might. The feeling of no longer having to suppress her power because of the evil fire was wonderful.

Wherever the incandescent phoenix flames passed, the air within a radius of several meters was completely distorted.

Huang Heyun looked horrified; he couldn't withstand this attack.

At the critical moment, Huang Heyun's teammate made a move. A girl with dark purple hair, freckles on her face, and flames burning in her eyes had five soul rings pulsating around her. She pressed her right hand down towards Ma Xiaotao, and the phoenix fire line that Ma Xiaotao spat out was instantly drawn away.

Fire control is a fire element control skill similar to Ji Lin's second soul skill, allowing both to manipulate flames at will.

The purple-haired girl is a control-type Soul Master at the Star Luo Royal Academy, and her Martial Soul is fire element.

The girl's name is Yi Chen, and she and another control-type soul master whose martial soul is wind element are known as the Wind and Fire Dual Control.
