Douluo Continent, Huo Yuhao who returned from Sekiro

Chapter 672 Morning Bell and Evening Drum (6K)

As Xiao Hongchen sensed Wang Dong'er rushing towards him, he became extremely anxious. Fortunately, as a Soul Saint-level expert, he had already begun to possess basic levitation abilities. He suddenly twisted his body, and Xiao Hongchen, who had been sent flying into the air by the Frost Shock, immediately regained his footing.

For a Soul Saint like myself to be beaten and forced to run around by an opponent who, judging from the aura of soul power, was only at the Soul Emperor level, is absolutely humiliating.

But sensing the terrifying aura emanating from the other party's two 100,000-year soul rings, Xiao Hongchen gave another bitter laugh.

Damn it, what's so great about me, a seventh-ring Soul Saint?

Just then, Wang Dong'er leaped dozens of meters into the air like a javelin thrown with all her might, gripping the Haotian Hammer in her hand and charging towards the flying Xiao Hongchen.

At this moment, Wang Dong'er seemed to transform into a dazzling shooting star, her Haotian Hammer carrying terrifying momentum as it smashed towards Xiao Hongchen.

Xiao Hongchen's invincible shield is also about to reach its maximum duration.

Xiao Hongchen's hair stood on end. The massive metal fortress instantly shrank into a huge shield, releasing a sturdy soul-guided barrier.

The most powerful aspect of his Golden Toad True Form is that it can instantly mimic any form of soul tool, as long as he can fully comprehend it.

At the same time, its power is equivalent to the user's own cultivation level limit.

In other words, any soul tool he conjures now possesses power of at least level seven.

"Thump——————"

Like the sound of morning bells and evening drums, a deep, resonant metallic clang suddenly rang out, echoing throughout the entire audience.

The audience could even see ripples erupting from the center of the collision with their naked eyes. The giant metal shield that Xiao Hongchen had conjured was dented the moment the collision occurred, and because he was not strong enough in mid-air, he was slammed back to the ground by the hammer.

Countless golden liquids surged, seemingly trying to repair the damage to the body.

Xiao Hongchen's disheveled figure reappeared on the competition stage, his face deathly pale.

He never expected that before he could even enjoy the thrill of a Soul Saint soaring through the air and bullying Soul Masters below the Soul Saint level who couldn't fly, he would be smashed down by a hammer.

This is normal. When a Soul Saint-level expert walks through the air, it is essentially by condensing the abundant soul power within their body under their feet to support themselves as they walk. Therefore, there is naturally a limit to the amount of power they can carry.

Although only two spirit rings were attached, the Clear Sky Hammer in Wang Dong'er's hand was actually more than ten times heavier than Huo Yuhao's Wind Mantis Shadow Slash.

After all, Huo Yuhao's Wind Mantis Giant Shadow Slash weighed only 42 jin (approximately 26 kg), a sword that only a Soul King-level expert could easily wield. Heavy weapons like axes, halberds, hammers, and maces often weighed several times more than swords of the same level.

At this time, Wang Dong'er's physical attributes had reached the Soul Emperor realm. After the addition of two 100,000-year soul rings, Wang Dong'er's Clear Sky Hammer directly changed from its original weight of several dozen kilograms to a terrifying heavy weapon weighing over a thousand kilograms.

Although Wang Dong'er found it difficult to wield such a terrifyingly heavy weapon with ease, when she went all out and unleashed her full power to smash it down, its destructive force was still no less than that of a Soul Saint-level expert's full-force attack.

The Light of Destruction, the Golden Radiance, and the Dark Gold Terror Claw and the two major attributes of ice and fire soul bones greatly enhance Wang Dong'er's body, even allowing her to compete with the freak Wang Qiu'er and see who has greater strength.

Such a simple, unadorned hammer blow, brimming with extreme power, directly slammed Xiao Hongchen down from mid-air, even though he was a Soul Saint capable of walking on air!

Despite having no visible injuries, Xiao Hongchen suffered considerable internal injuries after being subjected to two violent impacts.

If Xiao Hongchen hadn't used his fifth soul skill—Golden Affection—at the last moment to liquefy his body and gain the ability to negate 80% of physical attacks, he would have been in trouble.

With this hammer blow, Xiao Hongchen's arms, which were holding up the shield, would be instantly blown off by the terrifying impact.

"puff--"

He suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, his eyes filled with determination, and a dark golden light flashed as he transformed back into a heavy cannon.

The massive cannon barrel extends outwards, with a muzzle diameter exceeding one meter.

Intense golden light suddenly erupted several times, fiercely bombarding Wang Dong'er who had just landed. At this moment, Xiao Hongchen no longer cared about conserving his soul power to let Wang Dong'er get close. Even if he were to receive just one more blow, he would probably be in serious trouble.

This crazy woman's attack power is too strong!

Violent explosions rang out incessantly, and terrifying bursts of flame spread across the Soul Arena like flower buds, blooming and then withering in an instant.

Stop them; do not let them attack.

At this moment, Xiao Hongchen had only one thought in his mind. He knew very well that even though he was still in the Martial Soul True Body state, he was no match for Wang Dong'er in close combat.

The opponent's Clear Sky Hammer is not just a pure physical attack. He had already experienced the terrifying Frost Shock just now. If the opponent hadn't been unaware that his fifth soul skill, Golden Affection, could grant immunity to 80% of physical attacks, he wouldn't have been able to withstand that attack.

However, could the opponent's fireballs really stop Wang Dong'er?

Xiao Hongchen made a mistake based on habitual thinking, assuming that since Wang Dong'er's Clear Sky Hammer had an ice-attribute soul ring, the subsequent soul rings must only have ice and strength attributes.

In fact, Wang Dong'er, who has absorbed the Eight-Cornered Ice Grass and the Fiery Apricot Blossom, can easily defeat Huo Yuhao, who possesses pure ice and fire power, even against ordinary Ice Jade Scorpion Martial Souls or Fire Phoenix Martial Souls with their ultimate attributes.

As for the Explosive Flame Bullet that Xiao Hongchen specifically used to target the Ice Attribute Soul Master "Soul Earth Deficiency," it was not much different from blowing a warm breeze on Wang Dong'er.

As the flames subsided, Xiao Hongchen, who had been pouring fire upon Wang Dong'er for half a minute, swallowed hard.

I think I've won, right?

Otherwise, why hadn't I seen the other person for half a minute straight?

At this moment, the Battle Arena, which had been repeatedly devoured by Wang Dong'er and Meng Hongchen's frost shock and firepower, had completely collapsed. Beneath Meng Hongchen's feet, the Battle Arena had long since turned into a stone platform after the Xuanbing Thorn broke through the ground, with a layer of frost covering all the large and small stones.

The battle arena, which was originally sturdy, was now completely destroyed by Xiao Hongchen's firepower.
