Douluo: Legend of the Holy Land

Chapter 237 Lucifer, the Fallen Angel

Just as Xiao Yu was dealing with the Xuanbing Phoenix and the Blood Night Witch, the battle between Huo Wu and the Frost Dragon had reached a fever pitch.

Huo Wu was like a ball of flame, the air distorted by the intense heat emanating from her, and countless crimson fireballs hurtled toward the Frost Dragon.

The frost dragon swung its massive claws, tearing apart the fireballs that approached it. At the same time, its body emitted an extremely cold light.

Extreme cold and extreme heat, two completely opposite properties, collided violently in the air.

Sizzle! ...

A piercing sound rang out instantly, accompanied by a large amount of steam rising up.

In the clash of opposing attributes, the outcome is determined by only two factors: cultivation level and the purity of the attribute.

In terms of cultivation, Huo Wu is slightly inferior to the Frost Dragon, but she has the support of the three major domains of Ye Lingling, Xiao Yu, and Qian Renxue, which is enough to make up for the difference in cultivation. In terms of attributes, Huo Wu, who has undergone the test of Hellfire, is far superior to the Frost Dragon.

The raging flames eventually overwhelmed the azure frost, directly impacting the massive body of the frost dragon, causing it to tremble involuntarily.

The Frost Dragon seemed unwilling to lose to such a young girl. It let out a series of increasingly loud roars, and the icy halo around its body spread out in ripples. Thick ice mist enveloped everything around it, and the Frost Dragon and Fire Dance disappeared from everyone's sight.

field!

Xiao Yu was startled, but he quickly shook his head and denied his guess. The reason was simple: his Netherworld God Domain did not cause any obstacles after the ice mist appeared. It could pass through the ice mist and act on Huo Wu without any hindrance. If it were a domain-type skill, the domains should have collided and competed for dominance.

"I hope Huo Wu will be alright?"

Ye Lingling drifted to Xiao Yu's side at some point, looking at the battlefield shrouded in icy mist with some worry.

"Don't worry, this is nothing to that girl!"

Xiao Yu smiled slightly, full of confidence in Huo Wu.

As if to prove Xiao Yu wrong, the moment Xiao Yu finished speaking, a dazzling pillar of flame shot into the sky, engulfing Huo Wu in flames. The thick icy mist could not block the intense aura emanating from her.

"Fifth Soul Skill, Fire Dance Storm!"

Huo Wu's dark fifth spirit ring lit up, and countless flames transformed into a powerful storm that swept out. The fierce and scorching flames burned the surrounding ice mist, and in just a moment, the dense ice mist evaporated into water vapor.

boom!

At the same moment, not only the ice mist exploded, but also the eighth soul skill, Death Space, which trapped the Skeleton Demon leader.

Although the Skeleton Demon Leader escaped from the Death Space, it paid a heavy price. Its right leg had been completely melted, leaving it only able to stand on one leg. The dark aura surrounding its body had also been reduced to about half its original size, and the ghostly blue flames burning in its eyes had dimmed considerably. Pale yellow liquid flowed from its entire skeleton.

"You're weaker than I thought!"

Xiao Yu curled his lips into a sneer, looking down at the disheveled Skeleton Demon leader: "I thought this move would only hold you back for a while, but I didn't expect it to have taken half your life!"

"I kill you!"

The Skeleton Demon leader roared, stomped its remaining left foot, and charged upwards towards Xiao Yu.

"Overestimating yourself!"

Xiao Yu let out a cold shout, and his body shone with a brilliant black light. The light was so real that it seemed to crush the world around him.

A sword slashed out with a thunderous roar.

The Hades Sword, gleaming with an eerie light, transformed into a bolt of lightning in mid-air, slashing down heavily. The Skeleton Demon leader raised his sword to block, but this time, unlike the previous clash, the Skeleton Demon leader was cut down from mid-air by Xiao Yu's sword. His mutilated body flew rapidly downwards at an angle, crashing heavily to the ground and creating a deep crater.

The Skeleton Demon leader struggled to climb out of the pit, which was filled with countless pale white bone fragments. Although its face was now just bones and expressionless, anyone could see how weak it was.

"Bye now!"

Xiao Yu pressed his advantage relentlessly, his figure flashing like lightning as he appeared above the Skeleton Demon leader in the blink of an eye. A thick layer of black energy erupted from his body, and the sharp Hades Sword emitted a color like an abyss as it fell straight down towards the Skeleton Demon leader.

call out!

Just as Xiao Yu swung his sword down, a strange figure silently appeared behind and to the side of Xiao Yu. The black blade swept through the air like a ghost, aiming straight for Xiao Yu's vital points.

clang!

Just then, a golden figure suddenly appeared beside Xiao Yu without warning, and a strong light and holy aura burst forth instantly. A long sword flashing with intense golden light slashed fiercely at the black sword that suddenly attacked.

The two swords clashed, and intense golden and black light collided violently, causing each sword to stagger back several steps.

Qian Renxue shielded Xiao Yu from the sudden attack. Without hesitation, Xiao Yu swung his sword down, instantly splitting the already exhausted Skeleton Demon leader in two. The pale blue flames that had stopped flickering in his pupils signified the end of his life.

"You've finally shown up!"

Xiao Yu didn't look at the dead skeleton demon leader again, but turned to look at the culprit who had attacked him earlier.

It was an existence extremely similar to Qian Renxue's martial soul, the Six-Winged Angel. The only difference was that its entire body was shrouded in darkness, forming a stark contrast to Qian Renxue, who radiated an aura of light.

Three pairs of black wings extended from his back, long black hair cascaded down to his waist, and his skin was fair, like a crystal-clear jade bead. His eyes were slightly closed, and endless evil energy swirled around his body. A powerful aura burst forth from his body, and the immense pressure created a suffocating feeling.

"Fallen angel, Lucifer!"

Xiao Yu blurted out, but quickly shook his head, rejecting his own idea: "No, you're at most just an avatar of Lucifer, far from being the real Lucifer!"

Legend has it that Lucifer was once the highest-ranking and most powerful angel in Heaven. Before his fall, he held the position of Archangel and possessed a series of titles and honors, including "Radiant Morning Star," "Right Wing of God," "Vice-King of Heaven," "Creator of All Things," and "Greatest Angel by God's Side."

Because of his excessive nobility and his intention to be equal to God, he led a third of the angels in heaven to raise the banner of rebellion. He failed and fell into hell, becoming a synonym for darkness and disaster.

Such a powerful being would likely only be able to bow and scrape before a god-king, and this gatekeeper is far from reaching that level.
