Douluo Continent, Huo Yuhao who returned from Sekiro

Chapter 696 Snow Woman in Ninja Attire (6K)

A small red and white ball was flung out in an arc as Huo Yuhao rapidly flicked his wrist, drawing a beautiful golden ratio spiral in mid-air before striking Long Aotian directly in the lower back.

Almost at the same moment, Long Aotian unleashed a punch carrying terrifying power.

"boom--"

A sharp explosion almost instantly engulfed the entire Soul Arena.

Long Aotian's figure reappeared the instant he disappeared from the Soul Arena, along with a dense array of dark cracks and a God-Sealing Orb with a small hole punched in it.

If you look closely, you'll see that the small hole on the Investiture of the Gods Sphere, no more than one centimeter in diameter, is exactly what it looks like when it was punched through.

Those dark cracks were like the deepest ink paintings, spreading irregularly on rice paper, like branches of lightning, stretching out their claws in a three-dimensional world, like roots growing from the void, seemingly about to climb all over the entire Soul Arena.

Buzzing buzzing——————

A silent tremor spread throughout the entire Soul Arena, and even the spectators outside the protective barrier were not spared. Although the violent tremor was silent, it caused their internal organs to tremble at the same time.

"What is this...uh ...

The audience gasped intermittently, their internal organs, skin, even their blood and teeth began to tremble, and their voices trembled.

Fortunately, these cracks appeared quickly and disappeared just as quickly. The next moment, these dark, three-dimensional cracks seemed unable to withstand the consumption of their spread and vanished rapidly, and the vibrational fluctuations originating from space also disappeared instantly.

Huo Yuhao's gaze towards Long Aotian changed again. Long Aotian had shattered his own God-Sealing Ball with a single punch—what a terrifying punch that was.

As the designer of the Divine Sphere, no one knew better than Huo Yuhao how strong and resilient the internal structure of the Divine Sphere was. At least, even if a typical Soul Saint fought inside, they might not be able to damage the Divine Sphere.

However, the God-Sealing Ball, with its incredibly high internal strength, was instantly shattered by Long Aotian's punch, a perfect blend of heaven and man.

Others might not know what that pitch-black crack was, but how could Huo Yuhao not know? It was a crack created after space was torn apart!

Although the fundamental reason why the opponent's punch created a spatial rift was because there were some core spatial formations set up inside the God-Sealing Orb, Long Aotian's punch shattered the God-Sealing Orb, causing spatial disorder and leading to this result.

Even so, it's terrifying enough.

Long Aotian stood there motionless, but his eyes revealed undisguised surprise.

He never expected that Huo Yuhao would neutralize his punch in such a miraculous way.

Even if Huo Yuhao uses his invincible shield to withstand the attack, his continuous Heaven and Man Unity battle technique will quickly deplete Huo Yuhao's soul power reserves, causing the invincible shield he activates to be shattered within three seconds.

However, Huo Yuhao used the God-Sealing Ball to trap himself tightly just before he threw the punch. Not only did he miss Huo Yuhao, but he also nearly injured himself.

Long Aotian took a step back, raised his right arm high, and stood with his palm like a knife. In an instant, his entire arm and body turned jade-colored. Behind him, a twisted long knife made of compressed air faintly lit up and slashed.

"Sizzle—"

With a piercing shriek, Long Aotian slashed out with his blade, but Huo Yuhao's fair right palm now held a nearly transparent, undecorated ice sword.

"Clang—"

This time, Long Aotian took another half step back. Huo Yuhao, on the other hand, flicked his sword and stood still.

Long Aotian grunted and took three steps back.

I felt my entire right arm go numb from the shock, and my blood and energy were scattered, leaving me feeling weak and listless.

A clearly visible bloodstain appeared on his right forearm, as a large amount of frost power prevented his body from repairing itself automatically.

Although Long Aotian was shocked, his movements were swift. He lightly touched the ground with his toes and flew backward.

At the same time, he swung his arms in a large circle in front of him, his entire body turning completely jade-white, his skin shimmering with light. Behind him, a silver-white humanoid phantom materialized. It was none other than his original martial soul's second awakening, at the silver level.

Huo Yuhao's expression also turned serious. Long Aotian's body was much tougher than he had anticipated, almost as if it were made entirely of tungsten steel.

If it weren't skin, but rather Long Aotian's own martial soul, this strike would have been at least deep enough to reach the bone.

After all, the ice sword he held in his hand, formed from condensed ice crystals, was the Emperor Sword, one of the three great swords of the Snow Emperor!

Seeing Long Aotian suddenly unleash the second awakening of his true martial soul, the members of the Snow Demon Sect in the waiting area couldn't help but stand up. They didn't understand why Long Aotian would suddenly do this when he had such a great advantage.

It's important to understand that while activating the second awakening of one's main martial soul will increase combat power, it also leads to a sharp increase in soul power consumption. It's a trump card that's only used in the final moments of a hard-fought battle.

Only Long Aotian, standing on the Soul Battle Platform, knew that Huo Yuhao hadn't even unleashed his full power yet.

Just then, Huo Yuhao made a move.

Unlike any of his previous attacks, Huo Yuhao lowered his center of gravity, adopting a stance that made him appear as a spear, thrusting it towards Long Aotian.

It was a giant ninja thrust that Huo Yuhao had never used outside of Shrek Academy!

A cold shadow, as sharp as frost, flashed past, leaving a piercing shriek in its wake.

Before Long Aotian could fully prepare, a small figure of the Snow Maiden appeared beside Huo Yuhao on his shoulder.

His figure grew larger in the wind, and in a short while he was almost the same size as Huo Yuhao.

At this moment, the Snow Maiden was dressed in a smart white ninja outfit, her long white hair was combed into a ponytail, and she was holding an ice sword in her hand. She actually stabbed at Long Aotian with a move that was almost identical to Huo Yuhao's!

None of the spectators below the stage had ever seen such a bizarre attack method.

Who exactly is that girl the other side is using, and why can she unleash attacks that are almost identical to his?

"I remember now, the little girl they were using was also a soul beast!"

In the VIP section, Zhongli Wu suddenly looked enlightened. He had been blinded by the fact that the Soul Palace and the Holy Spirit Cult were on the same side, and subconsciously assumed that the spirit girl was actually a human soul.

It wasn't until Huo Yuhao, wielding the Frost Sword, and Xue Nu simultaneously launched a giant ninja thrust at Long Aotian that Zhongli Wu suddenly remembered that among the soul beasts, there were many special beings whose appearances were quite similar to humans.
