Douluo Continent, Huo Yuhao who returned from Sekiro

Chapter 252 Lightning Returns (Daily 10,000 words)

Seeing that Bei Bei's fourth soul skill was aimed precisely at Huo Yuhao, who was about to launch a sneak attack, excitement flashed in the eyes of the six people. Although they didn't know why the two were fighting amongst themselves, this was definitely a good opportunity for them.

"Wait, watch out!"

One of the Soul Masters intended to watch Huo Yuhao being blasted away by the lightning dragon, but Huo Yuhao merely turned his katana slightly, and the next moment, the originally raging lightning dragon was completely absorbed by the katana in Huo Yuhao's hand, with lightning snakes darting wildly across the blade.

[Lightning Retribution: Lightning will flow through the entire body of the person standing on the ground, rendering them unable to move. In the instant of being airborne, the blade absorbs the lightning strike and strikes back, thus achieving Lightning Retribution.]

Thunder and rain, both are blessings from Heaven; we should be grateful for them.

The people nearby also heard the roar of the lightning as Huo Yuhao's blade received the lightning, and subconsciously turned their heads to look at Huo Yuhao, only to see Huo Yuhao suddenly swinging out a Kasaya Slash in mid-air.

"boom!!!"

A blinding arc of lightning shot out along Huo Yuhao's robe slash, striking the six-person team squarely and paralyzing their muscles, rendering them unable to move.

"What?"

Xuanzi stared in astonishment at the scene unfolding before him. He couldn't believe his eyes. Bei Bei's fourth soul skill was aimed at Huo Yuhao, but Huo Yuhao caught it with his katana and then slashed it from the side, numbing all six people with electricity.

Seeing this, Beibei reacted quickly, slapping the sharp spear tip with her left claw. Sparks flew as the spear tip and her dragon claw collided. With a sweep of her right claw, she sent the War Soul Venerable, who had been frozen in place by the electric shock, flying through the air.

Jiang Nannan leaped into the air silently, her speed was incredibly fast, and her timing was perfect. Just as the lion soul master's body flew out, his neck was caught by Jiang Nannan's feet, and with a backbend, she flung him away.

Among the six Soul Masters on the opposing side, the one who plays the most important role is naturally the Lion Soul Master in front. His responsibility is to withstand Bei Bei's attacks, create opportunities for his companions behind him, and buy time for the others who surround him.

However, he hadn't expected the combined strength of the several Soul Masters to be so formidable. He had only used one Soul Skill before he was forcefully thrown away. This was only because Jiang Nannan had held back; therefore, after being thrown away, this Lion Soul Master also rose into the sky, becoming one of Elder Xuan's companions.

"Go help them. First, drive the squad leader and the others out. Otherwise, with the squad leader's ability to kill a thousand-year-old soul beast in one strike, once that team is eliminated, we'll only be picked off one by one."

Wu Feng shouted and led her team to quickly support the battlefield. Huang Chutian and the others immediately realized the seriousness of the situation. If the two third-year teams at the forefront were eliminated by Huo Yuhao and the others, they would not fare well either.

But these guys were a little slow to realize this. Xu Sanshi's Xuanming Turtle Shell Shield suddenly grew larger, and Xuanming Zhen was activated, sending the spear-wielding, power-attack type battle spirit master who was unable to move due to the electric shock flying away.

Wang Dong's Goddess of Light Butterfly quickly possessed him, and the second purple ring beneath his feet lit up. The golden patterns on the originally magnificent and indescribable butterfly wings condensed into small balls of light, which landed in the battle formation of the remaining four people.

Because the four people were so close together, they took almost all the explosive damage from every single golden orb. They tried to do something, but the paralyzing effect of the lightning hadn't completely worn off. They could barely move their arms, let alone put on any effective defense.

Just as Wang Dong accurately blasted all the golden light orbs into the four-person team, the previously shared three-dimensional vision suddenly changed, sweeping outwards in a fan shape, encompassing the Wu Feng team and Huang Chutian team within its detection range.

"Xiao Xiao, and Big Brother."

He simply called out their names, and He Caitou and Xiao Xiao immediately understood what Huo Yuhao meant.

A melancholic flute melody quietly began, its all-encompassing slowing effect affecting all non-core disciples of the team. Xiao Xiao's Nine Phoenixes' Arrival Flute activated at the most opportune moment.

The two teams that were originally charging towards Huo Yuhao's team were now slowed down, with only Zhu Lu and other agility-type soul masters maintaining a reasonably fast speed.

However, He Caitou's target didn't have to be these agility-type Soul Masters. He only needed to make sure he could hit those three-ring support and power-attack Soul Masters who were slowed down and locked on by mental detection. He didn't even need to attack Xie Huanyue, this mountain of flesh.

The fortress formation roared back onto the battle arena, accompanied by a series of violent metallic clanking sounds. Numerous metal pipes spilled out from its body.

"Oh no! Everyone, run behind me! Quick!"

Xie Huanyue wasn't fast to begin with, and after being hit by Xiao Xiao Jiu Feng Lai Yi Xiao's group slowdown, her movement speed became even slower. She originally thought that this would at most prevent her from joining the battlefield immediately, but who knew that the opponent's group slowdown was combined with the Fortress Battle Tactic!

Both teams realized something was wrong, but it was too late. The cannon barrels on He Caitou's body had turned bright red.

"Boom boom boom boom boom!"

A series of exploding shells accompanied by dazzling flames rose up, turning the entire Soul Arena into a veritable sea of ​​fire.

Mental detection + group slowing + fortress tactics.

This tactic of combining soul skills, soul skills, and soul tools unleashed a destructive power far exceeding that of a single soul skill or soul tool. Its precise and effective damage was even comparable to some martial soul fusion techniques!

However, the Martial Soul Fusion Skill requires compatibility and tacit understanding between Martial Souls. The precise bombardment and ground sweeping tactics used by Huo Yuhao and others do not require compatibility between Martial Souls. At most, they just need to train more to ensure proficiency.

Two rounds of full-load bombardment took away more than a dozen core disciples. At this moment, He Caitou, with overwhelming force, proclaimed the terror of soul tools to all core disciples, leaving an indelible mark in their hearts with an unstoppable ferocity.

Confront the ferocity of the Soul Guide! The era of relying solely on Martial Souls will soon be gone forever.

Huo Yuhao was carried by Wang Dong and flew out of the team, heading towards the center of the Soul Arena. The two of them, each wielding a heavy soul-guided explosive energy ray gun, precisely harvested the remaining students in mid-air.

Jiang Nannan also caught Zhu Lu, who had escaped by speed, and easily eliminated her.

With the help of Bei Bei's lightning power, Xie Huan Yue was also stunned by Bei Bei's Thunder Dragon Claw after taking several hits. He collapsed onto the Soul Fighting Stage with a thud. Although his Pipi Elephant Martial Soul had high physical defense, it was really not resistant to electricity.
