Douluo: Legend of the Holy Land

Chapter 218 The Power of Hades

"This guy seems to have reached the strength of a Title Douluo. Are you confident?"

Qian Renxue glanced at Xiao Yu and said calmly.

Since Xiao Yu's soul power has now reached level 78, and he should soon be trying to break through to the Soul Douluo realm, the two reached a consensus before setting off from the First Prison that Xiao Yu would deal with all the powerful enemies he encountered before breaking through the level 80 bottleneck.

Because combat is the fastest way for a Soul Master to improve.

"Don't worry, this guy isn't much stronger than that Nether Sea Dragon in the Akron River. I can handle him by myself!"

Xiao Yu smiled confidently, his figure flashed, and with the flapping of his four wings, he flew away.

"Human, how dare you underestimate me!"

Xiao Yu's voice was undisguised, and the Hell Knight heard it clearly. His face, contorted with rage beneath his mask, roared, and a terrifying pressure erupted from his body. Eerie ghostly flames instantly enveloped his pair of spiraled spears.

"kill!"

With a roar, the Hell Knight spurred his warhorse, which galloped off like an arrow.

The skeleton soldiers who had cleared the way stood obediently on both sides. It wasn't that they didn't want to help, but in this kind of battle, going up there would be no different from sending themselves to their deaths.

The skeleton soldiers weren't intelligent enough to think of this, but the Hell Knights understood it, so they gave the order to stay put before taking action.

boom!

In the blink of an eye, the two equally black-clad figures collided like two streaks of black light. The massive energy collision that spread out knocked all the nearby skeleton soldiers to the ground, and a large number of them fell down at the same time, just like harvesting wheat.

At the center of the conflict, Hell Knight and Xiao Yu both retreated backward. However, Xiao Yu only retreated three steps, while Hell Knight and his horse retreated more than ten steps.

With a single blow, the difference in skill was immediately apparent!

"Hey!"

Xiao Yu let out a low shout and pressed his advantage. His body suddenly moved, and with a tap of his toes in the air, he rushed toward the Hell Knight at a speed that was almost invisible to the naked eye.

At this moment, the Hell Knight was still frantically pulling on the reins, trying to stop his retreating pace. Xiao Yu had already attacked close by. In his haste, he raised his spiral spear to block, but Xiao Yu blasted him off his horse with a sword, sending him flying backward.

Xiao Yu pressed his advantage, following closely behind the Hell Knight as he flew backward. A fierce killing intent suddenly erupted, and countless sword lights bombarded the Hell Knight like a tidal wave.

bang bang bang! ! !

The swords struck the armor relentlessly for a long time before the Hell Knight crashed to the ground, kicking up a huge cloud of dust.

After a long while, the smoke and dust dissipated, revealing the disheveled figure of the Hell Knight. His exquisite armor was covered with cracks, revealing the dry, dark skin beneath. His mask had also been torn in two by one of Xiao Yu's attacks, revealing a pale, thin face.

"I never imagined that you, before even awakening your powers, already possessed such strength!"

The Hell Knight's unusual eyes betrayed his fear. "But don't get too excited about me. Now, I'll show you my full power!"

Before he finished speaking, the ghostly flames that had been resting only on the spiral gun in his hand instantly covered his entire body. The surrounding dark elements continued to condense towards him, and a sharp aura suddenly erupted within him. A cold air current surged, and even the air seemed to become viscous.

"You dare to attempt to use the power of darkness against me!"

Xiao Yu let out a cold shout, and his blood-red seventh soul ring shone brightly. His figure instantly grew several times larger, and his aura soared again. The dark elements that were originally rushing towards the Hell Knight seemed to encounter some kind of suction force and began to move towards Xiao Yu in the opposite direction.

"Have you forgotten something? What exactly is the fundamental power behind everything here? Although my martial spirit hasn't fully awakened yet, it's still enough to give me a significant advantage over you in terms of power level!"

Xiao Yu's disdainful voice slowly rang in the ears of the Hell Knight. The power of Hades is a supreme divine power that transcends all laws of the underworld. The mere dark element is nothing more than a subordinate of the power of Hades. How could it possibly resist the call of the power of Hades?

"Damn it!"

Xiao Yu's slightly mocking tone instantly made the Hell Knight lose his composure. He roared, veins bulging on his forehead, and in an instant, he transformed into a black meteor and shot towards Xiao Yu. A pair of spiral spears pierced towards Xiao Yu like lightning, with ghostly flames attached to them surging out, the scorching heat causing the air to distort.

Xiao Yu merely sneered, and in the next instant, his soul power suddenly erupted. Black light shot out from his chest, and the vast soul power surrounded him, forming an unbreakable protective wall.

This is precisely the skill of the 100,000-year-old torso soul bone that Xiao Yu absorbed: the Netherworld Emperor's Guardian.

The charging Hell Knight crashed into the protective wall. After a brief exchange, it was sent flying in the opposite direction, followed by a loud thud as it crashed to the ground.

The Hell Knight struggled to his feet, his face deathly pale, his breath coming in gasps, his eyes filled with resentment and humiliation.

"Damn it, I refuse to accept this! I refuse to accept this!"

With a roar, the Hell Knight launched another attack, thrusting his spiral spear with all his might, and countless spear shadows enveloped Xiao Yu.

Xiao Yu remained unfazed, not even bothering to move. The effect of the Underworld Emperor's protection had not ended, and the spear shadows were repelled as soon as they approached his body.

"It's time to end this!"

Watching the Hell Knight struggle wildly, Xiao Yu suddenly felt bored. He took a step forward and his figure flashed, appearing above the Hell Knight in the next instant. With a wave of his hand, a black vortex appeared out of thin air.

boom!

Xiao Yu's unique Hades power swept over the Hell Knight like a tidal wave. That supreme power, which was above all things, instantly suppressed the Hell Knight, and his body fell to his knees uncontrollably, unable to move an inch.

"Die!"

Xiao Yu uttered two words indifferently, and the Hades Sword in his hand suddenly shone brightly at that moment. A terrifying sword aura, enough to cover the entire world, transformed into a chilling light, slashing through the sky and plunging down.

Hell Knight felt the threat of death and struggled frantically with all his might, but it was all in vain.

The sword light crashed down, and the violent energy instantly surged into the Hell Knight's body, wreaking havoc. One after another, explosions like muffled thunder rang out, and the Hell Knight's burly body gradually became fragmented, devoid of any life.

pat!pat!

At the moment the Hell Knight died, these skeleton soldiers, just like the shadowy figures on Yomotsu Hirasaka, knelt down in perfect unison before Xiao Yu.
