Douluo Continent, Huo Yuhao who returned from Sekiro

Chapter 295 Eight Consecutive Slashes (Take a day off, 6k words)

Two longswords slashed out in a crisscross pattern, the powerful and heavy blows instantly breaking Shangyue's stance. Just as Shangyue thought to herself how close she had come to disaster, she realized that Huo Yuhao's attack was far from over.

Is this what it feels like to bully others simply by relying on physical strength? You launch attacks at will, slashing wildly, and even a casual slash requires the opponent to fight with all their might to defend against it!

Wielding two longswords, Huo Yuhao attacked with both hands. His right longsword thrust out like a spear, while his left longsword followed suit, sweeping to the right. His right longsword then slashed horizontally, while his left longsword thrust out fiercely.

Shangyue painstakingly parried Huo Yuhao's powerful and swift four-hit combo, but she never expected that Huo Yuhao's attack was not over yet. He sheathed his sword in his right hand and thrust it out again, crossing the two swords and slashing outwards, cutting off a strand of Shangyue's hair.

Shangyue's face had turned ashen. If she had dodged that blow even a fraction slower, it wouldn't have been her hair that had been severed, but her head.

Even so, Huo Yuhao continued his relentless attack!

With his twin swords clashing, Huo Yuhao leaped into the air, bringing the two long swords down on his head!

While admiring the moon, he couldn't avoid it and immediately suffered two bloody cuts on his body, the wounds revealing the bone, yet he remained silent.

Because she saw Huo Yuhao take another step forward.

Huo Yuhao stomped his feet on the Soul Fighting Platform and launched himself into the air with tremendous force. He gripped the two swords in his hands, swung his greatsword around in mid-air, and then precisely locked onto Shangyue, bringing it down in a downward strike!

"Waaaaaahh ...

The sword slashed down so fast that a whooshing sound erupted as it tore through the air, a piercing roar that was awe-inspiring. Shang Yue raised her katana to block, but was knocked away the next moment, while Huo Yuhao's twin swords came to rest steadily on Shang Yue's neck.

Shangyue's legs went weak, and she almost collapsed. Huo Yuhao's deadly eight-hit combo was terrifying. Every strike was aimed at killing her, especially the final downward slash. When the two swords were knocked away and Huo Yuhao's swords were almost touching her neck, Shangyue really felt that death was beckoning to her.

Fortunately, Huo Yuhao was very understanding and caught her, preventing her from collapsing to the ground.

"Thank you, thank you. I lost. You're really good."

Shangyue stumbled before regaining her balance on the stage. Her face flushed as she thanked him, but her eyes still held a lingering fear of Huo Yuhao's eight consecutive strikes.

This is truly a series of strikes as swift and fierce as a storm, combining offense and defense, powerful and heavy, giving no chance for the opponent to retaliate—an eight-hit combo.

The first slash involves a forward step and a double-bladed slash, closing the distance to the enemy. The middle four slashes include two horizontal slashes and two thrusts, breaking the enemy's defensive posture. After forcing the enemy back with the double-bladed slash, a powerful step and a double-bladed slash follow.

If the enemy still has the ability to resist at this point, then spin in mid-air and drop both swords to completely destroy the enemy's will to resist, both mentally and physically.

The magnificent dual-sword technique was not without its killing power; on the contrary, it perfectly integrated the two. The set of dual-sword techniques that Huo Yuhao swung at her was enough for her to use until the Soul Saint stage. If Shangyue could integrate her own characteristics into this set of sword techniques in the future, she might really be able to make a name for herself in the Soul Master world by relying on dual swords.

Huo Yuhao didn't say anything more, but instead wielded his twin swords to teach her moves, which gave her a sense of enlightenment, as if a great path to heaven was unfolding before her.

In the rest area, many of the students watching the game also cast strange glances at Huo Yuhao.

If they were to encounter Shrek Academy in the competition, and if Huo Yuhao could play, allowing them to lose with some dignity, it wouldn't be entirely a bad thing.

If you make a little more effort and pique the other person's interest, so that they can offer you some guidance as if pointing out the moon to you, that would be an opportunity that money can't buy.

The audience erupted in thunderous applause, which was both for Huo Yuhao's elegant and sharp eight-hit combo with his twin swords and for his merciful and considerate act of helping the moon-gazing man.

While audiences enjoy seeing bloody arena battles, they also appreciate the scenes where elegant gentlemen display gentlemanly manners towards women.

Many female students, their hearts fluttering with desire, had their eyes shining. They wished they were the ones who had just had their waists embraced, so they could get a close look at Huo Yuhao's bright, sun-like golden eyes and his neat, short black hair.

Hehe, if someone asks you affectionately if you'd like to be their girlfriend, should you say yes, yes, or yes?

It wasn't just one or two female students who were lost in thought; even from the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, Meng Hongchen's face was flushed, and it was unclear what she was thinking.

"Little sister, little sister, what are you thinking about?"

Looking at Meng Hongchen's flushed cheeks, Xiao Hongchen asked with some confusion.

"No, Yuhao, I actually like Wang Dong."

Meng Hongchen seemed to have made a great effort before she finally spoke, reluctantly looking at Huo Yuhao's disappointed eyes.

"What Yuhao? What Wang Dong?"

Xiao Hongchen's eyes widened. He had a terrible premonition, and it was a very strong one.

"Huh? No, nothing, I wasn't thinking about anything!"

Only then did Meng Hongchen belatedly realize what was happening. Her already red cheeks turned even redder, like a monkey's bottom, and began to burn.

The other students from the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy kept their eyes down, pretending to be deaf and dumb, completely unaware of anything.

You really shouldn't know this, or you could easily be killed to silence you.

Wang Dong, sitting in the audience, took a deep breath and appeared calm, but in reality, his crystal-clear toes inside his shoes were already tense.

"Wow, that's impressive. It's a good thing Yuhao didn't use dual swords when he attacked me before, otherwise my Xuanming Shield would probably have been chopped into pieces."

Xu Sanshi looked lingering fear. Yuhao had attacked him so fiercely with just a single katana; if he had been attacked with two katanas, he would have died in front of everyone.

Jiang Nannan nodded in agreement, realizing that her invincible golden body and teleportation had cooldowns; otherwise, Huo Yuhao's eight-hit combo would have caused both skills to be interrupted and launched outwards like a lightning strike.

Amidst thunderous applause, the captain of Yunluo Advanced Soul Master Academy stepped onto the stage and strode to the center.

"Logically speaking, the next player to appear should be Ma Yingjun from our team. However, if Yingjun couldn't defeat Shangyue, he will probably have an even greater difficulty facing your genius and your mysterious footwork."

"Therefore, Situ Yu from Yunluo Advanced Soul Master Academy, thank you for showing mercy during the competition earlier."

As he spoke, the captain nodded sincerely to Huo Yuhao.
