Douluo Continent, Huo Yuhao who returned from Sekiro

Chapter 667 Aging Rays (6K)

After launching this attack, Xiao Hongchen himself turned pale.

Although he was a Soul Saint, he was actually using the sealed milk bottle as a substitute for this soul tool. More than 40% of his own soul power was also drained.

But his eyes were filled with excitement.

This aging ray was conceived and designed by Ye Nongfeng from their team, and then made by the Mingde Hall experts.

In order to secure a place in the top eight, Ye Nongfeng specially installed this soul tool on Xiao Hongchen, in order to forcibly remove the soul spirit and gain an advantage of outnumbering the enemy.

This soul tool was kept extremely secret, so much so that even Nana, a former official member of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy team who later earned a formal team member status, was unaware of this powerful weapon.

After putting her soul away, Nana showed no fear in her eyes. Even without her soul, and even when facing a Soul Saint-level expert, Nana showed no sign of flinching.

With a powerful and swift movement, Nana wielded her double-headed swords. In the next moment, she lightly stepped forward, and as her body flipped and flew with the double-headed swords, two beams of light flew out in front of the blades!

Although opponents at the Soul Saint level are powerful, they are by no means completely invincible.

Xiao Hongchen was somewhat dazzled by Nana's powerful and swift staff movements. The next moment, he saw a blade of light with wind and fire attributes fly out as the double-headed sword spun, shooting towards his position.

In the blink of an eye, Xiao Hongchen blocked the two unexpected sword strikes with his own advanced, trigger-activated shield, but the shield, which was shimmering with brilliant golden light, was also weakened considerably in an instant.

The golden protective aura surrounding him was called the Barrier of Resilience, a level six soul tool. The use of a soul tool requires the soul master's own soul power to trigger it or to continuously provide soul power.

The reason why the Invincible Shield is so expensive is that its own defense is strong enough. The only problem is that it can only be used once, which is very extravagant.

The tough barrier on Xiao Hongchen's body is much more advanced. Its defensive power is slightly lower than that of the Invincible Shield, but it is just right for defending against attacks from level seven soul tools.

Moreover, it's not a single-use item. This soul tool has two major advantages: one is that it can be used multiple times, and the other is that it is triggered by a trigger.

In other words, even if Xiao Hongchen is attacked without any reaction, the tough barrier will automatically protect him, which is much more useful than the invincible shield.

Of course, along with its advantages, there are also its disadvantages. That is, once this tough barrier is triggered, it will immediately and automatically absorb Xiao Hongchen's soul power to provide defense.

The tough wall looked so much like an invincible shield that it couldn't fool its old teammate Nana. When she saw the light of the shield dim slightly, Nana immediately realized that it was not an invincible shield, but the tough wall.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Nana's figure flashed, and in the blink of an eye, she had already quickly crossed half of the Soul Arena and was attacking Xiao Hongchen. During this time, she did not forget to unleash a few more slashes to deplete Xiao Hongchen's soul power.

During this time, Xiao Hongchen had already adjusted the soul tool he was going to use.

With a flash of golden light, another leg emerged from his buttocks, this leg being entirely golden. At the same time, a dazzling golden layer covered his entire body.

Xiao Hongchen, with three legs, crouched slightly. His seven spirit rings—two yellow, two purple, and three black—radiated a terrifying aura.

Three of his spirit rings shone brightly. On his slightly hunched back, golden protrusions peeked out from under his clothes, emitting a soft golden halo.

His first and third spirit rings lit up simultaneously. Then, with a wave of his hands, he scattered at least a hundred metal balls.

The original Life Decomposition Ray Cannon was absorbed into Xiao Hongchen's body. This was not because Xiao Hongchen was soft-hearted, but because this kind of powerful weapon, which would consume 40% of his soul power at once, was already an unexpected bonus to be effective even once against an opponent like Nana.

Continuing to use it would only be a waste of his own soul power. Even if he won the battle, it would be difficult for him to maintain a better state to deal with the others from the Soul Palace.

These metal spheres instantly floated in mid-air, completely enveloping him.

Thick metal cannons began to rapidly generate, or rather, grow, with the metal sphere as their core.

Yes, that feeling was growth; these metal cannons were created entirely from nothing, not released by Xiao Hongchen. In the blink of an eye, he transformed into something resembling a giant hedgehog.

The second and fourth spirit rings took over the brilliance of the first and third spirit rings. It could be clearly seen that countless golden light spots suddenly appeared in the air, rushing wildly towards Xiao Hongchen with the force of a vast ocean.

Each of these points of light, upon approaching his body, emitted a faint golden halo, as if it were igniting. A rich metallic aura instantly surged forth.

As these golden specks merged in, the metal cannon barrels began to emit a dazzling light, and the terrifying aura made the audience below turn pale with fright.

The number of soul-guided cannons on Xiao Hongchen's body was 128, and all of them were composed of level 6 soul-guided devices.

Amidst the clanging sounds, all the cannons automatically calibrated, pointing in all directions that Nana could dodge. The soul-guided cannons behind Xiao Hongchen even bent and turned forward on their own. This could no longer be described as soul-guided device control.

"I'll go."

Inside the Tang Sect's rest area, He Caitou almost spat out his drink. Wasn't this a giant version of Yuhao's bionic soul-guided tentacles? But with over a hundred cannons so big and thick, how did the opponent manage to flexibly turn the cannons to lock onto Nana's location?

Even if your martial soul is the top-tier Three-Legged Golden Toad, which has the ability to control metal, you can't go this far, can you?

The next moment, a terrifying storm of soul power erupted the instant the resilient barrier retracted.

A resolute glint flashed in Nana's eyes. Ignoring her momentum, she suddenly made a ninety-degree turn on the field, dodging the roaring firepower from Xiao Hongchen.

"Knock knock knock."

The cluster of soul-guided cannons, which poured out in a frenzy, first formed a tongue of fire capable of tearing through gold and jade, and then with a slight tremor, it transformed into a net that relentlessly bombarded Nana's delicate body.

Such an apocalyptic scene made many other team members swallow hard.
