Douluo: Legend of the Holy Land

Chapter 204 The Hellhound's Inner Core

"I'll take it on!"

Perhaps because she was looked down upon by Qian Renxue at Huangquan Hirasaka, Huo Wu was eager to prove herself. She stepped forward, releasing her illusory Naruto Martial Soul, with five soul rings—two yellow, two purple, and one black—pulsating around her body.

In the months following the Soul Master Competition, Huo Wu diligently cultivated her soul power, which increased by three levels. She then absorbed the left arm bone of a 100,000-year-old Soft Bone Rabbit and successfully broke through the bottleneck of level 50.

While Xiao Yu was preparing to enter the Underworld to arrange sect affairs, she, with the help of the Nine Star Palace experts, successfully hunted down a ten-thousand-year-old fire-attribute soul beast and absorbed its soul ring. Now her soul power has reached level fifty-four.

"Second Soul Skill, Crimson Flame Burst!"

The yellow century-old soul ring lit up, and Huo Wu concentrated her soul power into her arms, releasing it as flames towards Cerberus.

"roar!"

Cerberus roared, and its three heads rose high at the same time, its gaping maw spewing out scorching flames.

The two flames collided head-on in mid-air, and Huo Wu's flames were instantly shattered, with a scorching wave of fire surging towards her.

"What?"

Huo Wu's expression changed drastically. Although it was only her second soul skill, she was defeated too quickly. Even ordinary ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts couldn't do this.

"Fourth Soul Skill, Holy Spirit Light Shield!"

Although she disliked Huo Wu, Qian Renxue could distinguish between what was important and what was not. She released her fourth soul skill, and a shield formed by light elements blocked Huo Wu's path.

boom!

The scorching waves of fire bombarded the light shield, and the surging energy continued to strike it. Gradually, cracks appeared on the light shield, and with a loud 'bang,' the light shield shattered.

Fortunately, most of the attacks were blocked by the light shield, and the remaining flames were as insignificant as a drizzle to Fire Dance, who was of fire attribute.

"Interesting. This beast's strength is comparable to a soul beast with 60,000 to 70,000 years of cultivation. A mere watchdog has such power. It seems I really made the right choice coming here!"

Qian Renxue glanced at Xiao Yu with her beautiful eyes, a slight smile playing on her lips: "Don't make a move yet, let me deal with this beast!"

Xiao Yu nodded; his purpose in coming here was to gain experience.

Golden light shone brightly from Qian Renxue's body as she released her Angelic Domain, causing her aura to surge instantly.

"roar!"

Cerberus roared again, instantly abandoning Fire Dance, who had attacked it first. Its six blood-red eyes fixed on Qian Renxue. The light and holy attributes on Qian Renxue were too threatening to it. Its strong hooves flew, and dark red hellfire gathered on its sharp claws as it pounced on Qian Renxue.

"Fifth Soul Skill, Angelic Holy Sword!"

The jet-black, ten-thousand-year-old soul ring emitted a dazzling light, from which divine power rose, and a longsword radiating golden flames materialized in Qian Renxue's hand.

Qian Renxue swept her sword, unleashing a burst of sword light. Sharp golden rays spread out, and the fierce killing intent carried intense heat, seemingly capable of melting the air itself.

boom!

The longsword and claws collided head-on, and Cerberus's massive body was actually shaken back a step.

"First Soul Skill, Angelic Assault!"

Qian Renxue pressed her advantage, flapping her four wings to increase her speed. The holy energy of the six-winged angel concentrated in her fist, and a golden light shield condensed in front of her. She then punched Cerberus in a vital spot.

Cerberus, in pain, let out a sharp shriek, its hind legs propelling it forward, and it suddenly sprang into action, making a half-turn motion as its long and powerful tail, like a steel whip, swept out.

Qian Renxue reacted quickly, her long legs lifting her onto the ground, and with the help of her four wings, she flew into the air, dodging Cerberus's tail attack.

"Third Soul Skill, Holy Light Meteor!"

As Qian Renxue flew into the air, her third soul ring lit up, and countless golden light spots gathered around her. With a wave of her jade hand, they seemed to have eyes and landed on Cerberus. A ball of light containing holiness and light exploded on it, blasting it into a bloody mess.

The intense pain enraged Cerberus, whose furious roar soared into the sky. It raised its three heads and spewed out dark red flames from its mouths, but it did not attack Qian Renxue immediately. Instead, it continuously gathered the flames in front of it, clearly preparing some powerful attack.

Qian Renxue raised her right arm, and the 99,999-year-old soul bone residing in her right arm emitted a dazzling golden halo. The sacred sword condensed from her fifth soul skill continued to enlarge.

Since Cerberus is preparing to unleash his ultimate attack, she naturally needs to gather her strongest strike as well.

Both finished charging at the same moment, and a blazing fireball formed in front of Cerberus, hurtling towards Qian Renxue. This fireball contained most of Cerberus's power and also possessed tracking capabilities, making it impossible to dodge.

Qian Renxue gripped the golden longsword tightly with both hands, her four wings flapped behind her, and her body suddenly shot forward. Using the momentum of her charge, the holy sword slammed down towards the fireball.

The sacred longsword unleashed a tremendous surge of soul power, forcefully cleaving the fireball in two.

Before Cerberus could react, the hundred-meter-long holy sword had already fallen, and Cerberus was instantly cleaved away.

"Such a tough body!"

Qian Renxue frowned slightly. The power of that attack had reached the level of a Soul Douluo, yet it still hadn't managed to sever its physical body.

"Sixth Soul Skill, Angel's Roar!"

Qian Renxue immediately changed her strategy. Since physical attacks were insufficient to break through its defenses, she would strike at the mental level.

Through a special transformation method of angelic soul power, Qian Renxue converted her soul power into a mental shock, her eyes emitting golden light that landed directly on Cerberus.

"Roar roar roar!!!"

As expected, Cerberus, despite its powerful physical body, had a significant weakness in its mental strength. Under Qian Renxue's mental attack, the three large heads roared madly, clearly enduring immense pain.

"it's over!"

Seeing that the attack was effective, Qian Renxue shouted and immediately increased her soul power output. Under the terrifying mental attack, Cerberus bled from all six eyes and three noses at the same time. His huge body struggled painfully as if he had gone mad, and he would bang his head on the ground from time to time.

Qian Renxue unleashed her full power, giving Cerberus no chance to catch her breath.

After a short while, Cerberus stopped struggling and gradually lost its life.

As the hellhound's massive body collapsed, a dark red bead slowly rose from its body. The energy contained within it made Qian Renxue wary, fearing that another monster with the same combat power as Cerberus might appear.
