Douluo Continent, Huo Yuhao who returned from Sekiro

Chapter 202 Faced with the auspicious beast's request, Huo Yuhao's choice was... (Daily 10,000 words)

With a sudden movement of his right hand, Huo Yuhao drew the Wind Mantis Giant Shadow Cutter from behind him. With a whoosh, the soul power within Huo Yuhao surged wildly into the soul bone inside the Wind Mantis Giant Shadow Cutter. Huo Yuhao's originally abundant soul power was almost instantly emptied!

[Combat Skill - Gale Sword Technique: Appearing instantly before the enemy like a howling storm, or like a mantis taking flight, appearing near the enemy in the blink of an eye.]

Bang!

A violent sonic boom rang out, and Huo Yuhao's figure broke the sound barrier in an instant, violently crushing the air in front of him. The air seemed to be ignited, emitting a sharp whistling sound. The distance of more than 20 meters between him and the Soul Emperor was crossed by Huo Yuhao in 0.05 seconds. This speed has exceeded the limit reaction speed of a Soul Emperor!

When Huo Yuhao arrived in front of this Soul Emperor, the Soul Emperor's eyes still revealed cruelty, bloodlust, and regret for the failed sneak attack. He had no idea that Huo Yuhao had already arrived!

"Brother Tianmeng! Make your move!"

Huo Yuhao roared in his spiritual sea, and the next moment, the white spirit ring beneath his feet turned into an incomparably brilliant gold.

A dazzling golden light shone, as if a rising sun was emerging from beneath his feet.

Centered on Huo Yuhao's body, the area within a hundred-meter diameter instantly transformed into a world of ice and snow.

Huo Yuhao's left arm had been raised at some point, and his index finger had turned ice blue at some point.

"Anyone who dares to touch my men, die!"

The index finger pointed forward, directly striking the Soul Emperor's heart. Starting from the Soul Emperor's heart, a chilling coldness that made one's whole body tremble slowly spread throughout the Soul Emperor's body.

Kara kara kara.

A series of fine crystallizing sounds rang out, and the Soul Emperor's muscles, blood, and even soul seemed to be slowly frozen under this finger.

In the blink of an eye, a Soul Emperor who was once full of energy was turned into an ice sculpture gleaming with cold light!

But Huo Yuhao's offensive was not over yet!

With one hand, Huo Yuhao raised the Wind Mantis Shadow Slash, transitioning from a ready stance to a mid-stance stance. Then, after releasing the Heavenly Dream Finger, he gripped the sword with both hands, continuing to raise the blade to the upper stance. The power in his waist surged at this moment, and every muscle in his core was giving its all for Huo Yuhao's next strike!

With a heavy step forward with his right leg, Huo Yuhao's entire body seemed to transform into a bent bow. Slender yet not slender, his muscular waist transmitted the power of his lower body stepping forward to his upper body like a slingshot. The 42-pound Wind Mantis Giant Shadow Slash descended from above with a fierce gust of wind!

【One-Word Slash: A style of martial arts that delivers a heavy blow from above, dealing massive damage to the enemy. It is a merciless frontal slash, focusing solely on this one strike】

The One-Sword Slash is a samurai's signature technique, but when performed by a giant katana, it's more like an unstoppable, overwhelming blow, like a mountain collapsing. One can only imagine the magnificent sight that comes before death for someone facing this ultimate skill.

click!

A dull thud rang out the instant the katana struck the ice sculpture, which began to shatter under the powerful impact of the slash.

The sound of shattering was like the collapse of a glacier. First came a deep and powerful rumble, followed by the crisp cracking sound of countless ice blocks breaking. Huo Yuhao's one-word slash descended without any decrease in speed, cutting all the way to the bottom!

The shattered ice sculptures crashed heavily to the ground. Some of the larger ice blocks made a heavy thud as they fell, like boulders hitting the ground, while most of them fell silently like pebbles onto the forest floor. The land, covered with wild grass and thorns, absorbed the last sound left by this Soul Emperor in this world.

With a single strike, he slayed the Soul Emperor!

The two Soul Kings who were rapidly attacking Huo Yuhao were terrified when they saw this scene. That was a Soul Emperor!

Huo Yuhao stood there, the killing intent behind him surging, as if condensing into a gray-red sea of ​​blood, with endless ferocious souls roaring within it.

Physiological fear caused the two Soul Masters to instinctively flee backwards, while Huo Yuhao—after seeing the two run away, also desperately began to run backwards.

At this moment, all his soul power could only support him to use the Gale Sword Technique of the Wind Mantis Giant Shadow Slash once. If it weren't for the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm using its reserves to release the Heavenly Dream Finger for Huo Yuhao, which directly froze the opponent into a hard ice sculpture, how could Huo Yuhao's slash, which was only performed with brute force, possibly kill the Soul Emperor with one sword?

At this point, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that Huo Yuhao was completely exhausted. How could he possibly continue to fight these two Soul Kings head-on? The best course of action was to take advantage of their intimidation and run away.

For a moment, the two Soul Kings with flying Soul Skills were desperately fleeing back, fearing that Huo Yuhao, this ferocious god, would catch up and chop them both up with a single strike. Huo Yuhao was also running at full speed, afraid that the two would realize what was happening.

"laugh--"

Huo Yuhao suddenly stopped in his tracks. A golden lion had appeared in front of him without him noticing.

"The Three-Eyed Golden Lion."

Huo Yuhao looked at the creature in front of him, which resembled a semi-transparent crystal, with an overall shape like a lion but four claws like a dragon, and a ball of golden flame under its claws. He then uttered these four words with a heavy expression.

Huo Yuhao knew that it was absolutely impossible to escape the Emperor Beast using his own abilities, so...

A resolute glint flashed in Huo Yuhao's eyes. No matter how important killing Dai Huabin was, it was not as important as his own life. In any case, as long as he was alive, he could always make a comeback.

"You have many familiar scents, and each one is repulsive."

The three-eyed golden lion stared coldly at Huo Yuhao, and surprisingly, it spoke in human language, and it was a clear and beautiful female voice.

Huo Yuhao thought to himself that something was wrong. The Three-Eyed Golden Lion had sensed something and was about to unleash all its pent-up resentment towards the Spirit Hall and the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm on him.

Before Huo Yuhao could make a move, a violent roar came from afar, causing the entire Star Dou Great Forest to shake violently. A fierce howl rolled in. Intense soul power fluctuations transformed into a overwhelming pressure, rendering Huo Yuhao almost unable to move.

What exactly happened behind him?

Huo Yuhao had no idea what was going on. He didn't even dare to turn his head away, still staring intently at the Three-Eyed Golden Lion.

Just then, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion said two things that caught Huo Yuhao off guard.

"Your eyes don't lie. You're not afraid of me. You have a way to force your way out of here."

"You really wanted to kill those people behind you, didn't you? Now they're all dead. This is my way of showing my sincerity. You humans love making deals. How about we make a deal?"
