Douluo Continent, Huo Yuhao who returned from Sekiro

Chapter 323 He pulled out his gun halfway through the fight (8k)

A glint of light flashed in Huo Yuhao's golden eyes. His previously empty left hand suddenly gripped a ray gun that appeared out of thin air, and he fired a shot at Yu Mengdi, who was retreating rapidly.

"you!"

When Yu Mengdi saw Huo Yuhao's shameless act of suddenly pulling out a gun halfway through the fight, she really wanted to curse him out and condemn his despicable behavior.

But the most urgent task is to block Huo Yuhao's sudden shot.

Seeing that there was no way to hide, Yu Mengdi crossed her two swords in front of her chest and released her fourth soul skill.

The angelic wings behind her moved forward to protect her, completely enveloping her body and forming an oval-shaped cocoon of light.

Huo Yuhao suddenly pulled out a ray gun and fired a scarlet ray, blasting a small black hole in the light cocoon, but it did nothing to harm the opponent.

"A light cocoon?"

For some reason, Huo Yuhao was deeply shocked when he saw this scene, as if he had remembered something.

The brief defensive soul skill has ended.

The moment the cocoon of light disappeared, she was met with a barrage of slashes from Huo Yuhao, like a violent storm.

Yu Mengdi frantically dealt with the enemy before her.

The more she was hit, the more frightened she became.

He also became increasingly doubtful of his own judgment.

Just how many Soul Masters does Huo Yuhao have?!

First, we can rule out second-ring Soul Masters!

Yu Mengdi endured the soreness and numbness in her arms as she resisted Huo Yuhao's attacks. Only when they truly faced Huo Yuhao would they realize just how strong his oppressive aura was.

Due to the cultivation system, the battle rhythm of Soul Masters on Douluo Continent is to fight and then stop, using a burst-type Soul Skill to see the effect, or using a buff-type Soul Skill to fight for a round.

Once the effect of their soul skills ends, they need to observe their opponent's reaction to determine whether it's better to dodge the enemy's attack or to unleash two more soul skills, while also buying time for their soul power to flow back into their soul rings.

Only when soul power slowly flows into the soul ring and fully charges it can the previously released soul skill be released again. This is why exploding the soul ring can instantly grant a soul master immense power.

Finally, wait until the opponent has used up most of their soul skills, and has consumed a lot of soul power and stamina, or when you feel the time is right, then fight the opponent again, and the outcome depends on fate.

For normal battles between Soul Masters, following this rhythm of first probing, then gradually increasing the intensity of the attack, and finally deciding the outcome with a single blow is perfectly acceptable.

Low-level Soul Masters only have a few Soul Skills. It might feel good to throw them all out at once, but if you can't hit anyone after throwing them out, you'll just have to wait to get beaten up.

There's nothing wrong with this fighting style. Even offensive Soul Masters do it this way. Take Dai Yueheng, for example. Look at him, he unleashed all his Soul Skills. Even after the White Tiger Vajra Transformation ended, he was still tough.

But Huo Yuhao was an anomaly. He was like a barbarian king who had emerged from some primitive tribe, dragging a big sword and starting to chop people down. No one knew about his soul skills or his probing.

If I bring my sword down, you need to withstand it first, then we can talk about that soul skill stuff.

Of the many skills Huo Yuhao currently possesses, only a few belonging to the Ice Emperor's Soul Ring can truly be considered traditional Soul Skills. The rest are not very serious and are mostly used to assist in combat.

When available, these soul skills can effectively increase Huo Yuhao's attack power, but even without them, he is still incredibly powerful.

No, I really can't take it anymore!

Yu Mengdi cried out in her heart.

"Shangguan Can, please help me!"

Yu Mengdi knew very well that Ye Wuqing's Golden Leaf was completely sealed by Bei Bei, and he would have no chance to lend a hand. Therefore, if he wanted to get a chance to catch his breath, he could only sacrifice Shangguan Can, who was being beaten up by Gongyang Mo.

Shangguan Can, who had been beaten by Gongyang Mo with a ray gun in one hand and a big stick in the other, could only smile bitterly after hearing Yu Mengdi's plea for help. He then ran towards Ye Wuqing's location, the bell in his hand jingling, and his third and fourth spirit rings lit up at the same time.

The piercing ringing suddenly spread indiscriminately in all directions from Shangguan Can as the center. Gongyang Mo was the first to be affected, and he nearly fell from the sky.

Ye Wuqing and Bei Bei followed closely behind, their hands trembling and their faces showing displeasure.

Although Yu Mengdi was also stunned by the shock, she managed to twist her body and use her wings to glide uncontrollably into the distance, creating some distance between herself and Huo Yuhao.

Huo Yuhao frowned upon hearing the piercing ringing. The ringing was a kind of mental attack that didn't distinguish between friend and foe. The third soul skill was used to amplify the effect of the fourth soul skill, but it would also cause the fourth soul skill to indiscriminately attack other enemies.

Fortunately, compared to others, Huo Yuhao was much less affected. He only frowned slightly before breaking free from the other party's influence.

In order to help Gongyang Mo stop Ye Wuqing, who has the ability to attack from a distance, and prevent the other party from having the opportunity to assist Shangguan Can, Bei Bei took the initiative to attack without hesitation, and used her area-of-effect skill - Thunderous Might - at close range.

The massive lightning bolts raged through the air, forming a huge, impenetrable electric grid that no attack could penetrate.

Seeing this, Ye Wuqing could only deal with Beibei first. If he really disregarded everything and ignored Beibei's electric net to support Shangguan Can, he would basically be done for after taking this hit.

His first and third spirit rings lit up simultaneously.

At least dozens of golden leaves shot out from his hands, instantly forming a golden net in the air, which then swept back towards the thunderous force.

Although Bei Bei is the top disciple of the Tang Sect in the present day, his skill in controlling cranes and capturing dragons is only so-so, and the level of his Xuan Tian Gong is also a bit lacking. He cannot unleash a super-large-scale group attack soul skill like Heavenly Maiden Scattering Flowers, which is unbeatable.

That is why his hidden weapons were completely inadequate to stop Ye Wuqing's attacks.

Those gold leaves were like sharp knives, easily tearing open the thunderous thunderbolt and sweeping towards his body.

These are Ye Wuqing's first soul skill—Leaf Blade, and his third soul skill—Leaf Array.

Faced with the incredibly sharp leaf formation, Beibei retreated instead of advancing, and went straight to meet it.

A scene that shocked Ye Wuqing unfolded.

Beibei's figure suddenly became ethereal, her steps appearing scattered and disordered, yet she moved forward gracefully like a wisp of smoke.

The golden leaves kept chasing his body, but they always missed by just a little bit.

In the blink of an eye, Beibei had already passed through the leaf formation and arrived in front of Ye Wuqing.

Don't forget that one-third of Huo Yuhao's Flowing Water Stepping Moon technique was inspired by the Ghost Shadow Stepping. Although compared to Flowing Water Stepping Moon, the Ghost Shadow Stepping doesn't require precise distance calculation to dodge sword blades, nor does it have the effect of stepping into the air to embrace the moon, it is more than enough to dodge Ye Wuqing's leaf formation.
