Douluo: Legend of the Holy Land

Chapter 78 Joining Hands

"Fifth Soul Skill, Annihilation of the Underworld!"

This is Xiao Yu's fifth soul skill, which he obtained from a powerful offensive soul beast with 30,000 years of cultivation. Its power is extremely strong.

With a flash of sword light, he cleaved a silver-toothed wolf with a cultivation level of over ten thousand years into pieces.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh!!!"

Xiao Yu dealt with the last soul beast that caught up with him and stopped in place, panting heavily.

Upon seeing this, Ye Lingling quickly summoned her martial soul. The white, petal-shaped light gradually merged into Xiao Yu's body, restoring his soul power and injuries.

At this moment, only Xiao Yu, Ye Lingling, Xue Qinghe, and Xue Ke remained. The guards that Xue Qinghe brought had all perished in the mouths of the soul beasts while trying to protect her and Xue Ke.

"Brother, those soul beasts shouldn't be chasing us anymore, right?"

Still shaken, Xue Ke spoke timidly to Xue Qinghe.

"Probably not!"

Xue Qinghe comforted Xue Ke for a few words, then turned her resentful gaze to Xiao Yu. She wasn't stupid; she had no grudge against the Azure Bull Python, so why would she risk her life for him?

The two kings of the forest's two spirit beasts, the Azure Bull Python and the Titan Giant Ape, have a close relationship. The Azure Bull Python has made such a big fuss, but the Titan Giant Ape has not shown up. She knows with her toes that the Titan Giant Ape must have died at Xiao Yu's hands. That's why the Azure Bull Python is willing to do anything to kill Xiao Yu. She is obviously just an innocent bystander caught in the crossfire.

Noticing Xue Qinghe's gaze, Xiao Yu dared not meet her eyes. He knew in his heart that Qian Renxue must have already realized who the culprit was.

This girl can be incredibly stupid, but when she's being shrewd, she's smarter than anyone else.

Just as Xiao Yu was secretly complaining about Qian Renxue, suddenly, the 100,000-year-old spiritual bone inexplicably released a warning signal to Xiao Yu.

"Oh no, there are soul beasts too!"

Xiao Yu had no time to think it through and pulled Ye Lingling back a few steps.

Upon being yelled at by Xiao Yu, Xue Qinghe instinctively pulled Xue Ke back.

boom!

Just as the four retreated, a huge black shadow leaped down from a distance, kicking up countless pebbles.

"Titan Ape!"

Xue Qinghe exclaimed in surprise, then looked more closely and said, "Judging from his cultivation level, he should have been cultivating for over 40,000 years, nearly 50,000 years!"

Then, glancing at Xiao Yu, she said, "Could this be a relative of that 100,000-year-old Titan Ape?"

Xue Qinghe was right. This Titan Giant Ape and the Rogue Rabbit's adopted younger brother, the 100,000-year-old Titan Giant Ape Erming, are indeed related in a roundabout way. He is also the strongest of the 10,000-year-old soul beasts summoned by the Azure Bull Python.

The 100,000-year-old soul beast had already developed intelligence. The Azure Bull Python knew that there must be a Title Douluo by Xiao Yu's side. From the beginning, it launched a small-scale beast tide to hold back the Title Douluo by his side. Then, it deliberately left a weak gap in the encirclement of soul beasts so that Xiao Yu would find out and break through in that direction. The Titan Giant Ape was lying in ambush in front, waiting for Xiao Yu to run into it.

Damn, I never expected that even spirit beasts would know military strategy.

Seeing the Titan Giant Ape that had clearly been waiting there for a long time, Xiao Yu couldn't help but curse inwardly. Even a Soul Douluo wouldn't want to easily face a Titan Giant Ape with nearly 50,000 years of cultivation.

Xiao Yu suddenly turned around and activated the 100,000-year-old head soul bone skill—Death Gaze. His eyes released a powerful mental shock, but the target was Xue Ke.

Caught off guard, Xue Ke, with her near-Great Soul Master cultivation, was no match for this attack and immediately fainted, losing consciousness. Xiao Yu casually put her into his Ruyi Hundred Treasures Pouch.

Xue Qinghe was stunned: "What are you doing?"

"The Titan Giant Ape, with nearly 50,000 years of cultivation, already possesses the combat power of a low-level Soul Douluo. My chances of winning alone are slim!"

Xiao Yu gripped the Hades Sword tightly, charging towards the Titan Ape charging towards him. He said in a deep voice, "Now that you have no one from the Heavenly Dou Empire by your side, there's no need to maintain your disguise. Help!"

Xue Qinghe suddenly realized that although she was annoyed by Xiao Yu's shouting at her, she also understood that soul beasts did not distinguish between human forces. If she wanted to survive, she could only fight alongside Xiao Yu and kill the Titan Giant Ape in front of her.

With the Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul attached to her, Qian Renxue, bathed in golden light, had removed the disguise effect of her head soul bone, revealing her true form. Two pairs of pure white wings emerged from her back, and six soul rings—two yellow, two purple, and two black—slowly rose from her body.

Seeing Xue Qinghe suddenly change, Ye Lingling was dumbfounded. What was going on? The Crown Prince of the Heavenly Dou Empire was a woman!

"Lingling, help us first. I'll explain everything to you after we're out of danger!"

Xiao Yu's voice rang in her ears, and Ye Lingling quickly came back to her senses. She summoned her Nine Heart Begonia and activated the Sacred Heart Domain, with pale purple light falling on Xiao Yu and Qian Renxue.

"field!"

Qian Renxue immediately sensed Ye Lingling's domain, after all, she herself also possessed a talent domain, and she was extremely familiar with the feeling of a domain.

What surprised Qian Renxue even more was that Ye Lingling had four spirit rings, two yellow and two purple. She had thought that Xiao Yu had come to the Star Dou Great Forest because Ye Lingling had broken through to the Soul Master level, but now it seemed that Ye Lingling wanted to obtain her fifth spirit ring.

Just as Qian Renxue was slightly stunned, Xiao Yu, who had taken the initiative, had already arrived in front of the Titan Giant Ape. He unleashed his third soul skill, Gale Shadow Break, and shot towards the Titan Giant Ape like a black meteor, his sharp blade pointing directly at it.

The Titan Ape roared, raised its massive, rock-like fist, and slammed it down at Xiao Yu.

With a deafening roar, sword and fist collided, and Xiao Yu's body was thrown back. He flew backward for a long time before he could barely stand up. He felt a sweet taste in his throat and barely managed to hold back the blood.

Although the Titan Ape did not retreat, Xiao Yu had slashed a visible wound on its fist, and purplish-black blood dripped down its thick arm to the ground.

"roar!"

Although it was just a minor wound, the Titan Ape was still enraged. Its lantern-sized eyes were filled with endless coldness and rage, and with a roar, a circle of earth-yellow light waves shot out towards Xiao Yu.

Xiao Yu's expression changed. Without time to think, he unleashed his fourth soul skill, the Thousand Nether Sword Technique. Layer upon layer of sword shadows flew out from behind Xiao Yu and collided with the light emitted by the Titan Giant Ape.

Just then, Qian Renxue arrived. Upon seeing this, she immediately used her fifth soul skill, the Divine Sword. With a long sword formed from divine fire in her hand, she moved like a golden lightning bolt and instantly appeared beside the Titan Giant Ape.

Qian Renxue shone with golden light, raised her holy sword high, and stabbed it fiercely towards the Titan Giant Ape's vital point. In an instant, it pierced through the Titan Giant Ape's tough skin, and intense holy, light, fire, and judgment power transformed into extremely surging energy that instantly entered the Titan Giant Ape's body.
