Douluo Continent, Huo Yuhao who returned from Sekiro

Chapter 706 Huo Jishou Yuhao (6K)

The competition is about to begin.

On the competition stage, Zheng Zhan announced loudly, "Next up is the second semi-final of this tournament. The two participating teams are the Holy Spirit Sect Team and the Soul Palace Team. Both teams' players, please proceed to the waiting area."

Huo Yuhao led the rest of the Soul Palace into the waiting area.

"Individual elimination round, first match, both teams take the stage."

On the Holy Spirit Sect's side, a short young man quickly stood up and flashed onto the competition stage, as light as a leaf.

On the Soul Palace side, Huo Yuhao, who was sitting in the first seat, proudly stood up, touched the ground with his toes, and stepped onto the competition stage.

Huo Yuhao's appearance clearly surprised the Holy Spirit Sect.

Who would have thought that he would be the first to appear in the individual elimination round?

The reason is simple: Wang Dong'er was fiddling with the little skeleton she used to disguise herself in Shrek's rest area.

To deal with the Holy Spirit Sect, at the very least, you need to send a fighter of Nana's caliber. The other members of the Soul Hall are still somewhat lacking in strength to deal with the Holy Spirit Sect.

Of course, all of this is on the premise that they don't use necromancy, otherwise the battle will become quite interesting.

These young men who risked their lives alongside Nana and Huo Yuhao never missed any opportunity to improve themselves. They would follow the lich around and learn from him whenever they could.

After all, the liches' asking price wasn't high; at most, they'd just need to buy two pounds of beef bones at the market as an apprenticeship fee to coax them into opening their mouths.

Liches would typically keep half of the bone as their own spellcasting material, and then remake the other half into a cow bone staff to return to these people.

Tsk, such an easy-going undead being can only be found in the undead demiplane.

Therefore, Huo Yuhao, who had no one else available at the moment, had no choice but to step up himself.

Both walked towards the center of the arena and soon stood in front of Zheng Zhan, the Unbreakable Douluo.

Zheng Zhan glanced at both sides and said in a deep voice, "Both sides, state your names."

"Soul Palace, Hun Tiancan."

"Holy Spirit Sect, auspicious."

Jili? That name does sound auspicious, but unfortunately, he's an evil spirit master. The audience thought this in unison.

The soul-guided shield around the arena has slowly risen, which means that the match is about to begin.

"Both sides retreat."

Huo Yuhao gave the other person a deep look; the short-statured Jili had a pair of sinister eyes.

His pupils were an eerie dark green, and they seemed to be constantly changing, like a venomous snake eyeing its prey.

Snake eyes?

Huo Yuhao pondered for a moment. Many high-grade martial souls do indeed affect a soul master's outward appearance. So, the opponent's martial soul is similar to a snake or a lizard.

The opponent's sinister aura did not affect Huo Yuhao himself. No matter how strange the opponent was, could he have a seven-faced warrior formed from resentment, or be headless and strange?

He turned and strode away, quickly arriving at the edge of his own playing area.

Geely also retreated to the edge of their own playing area, with the two sides facing each other from a distance.

Unbreakable Douluo Zheng Zhan turned around and glanced at the direction of the rostrum, then looked at the sky. Then he raised his right hand high.

"The match begins!"

With a slightly paused shout from Zheng Zhan, the second semi-final officially began.

Almost as soon as Zheng Zhan's voice rang out, Huo Yuhao transformed into a streak of light and shot out instantly.

Huo Yuhao's speed was so fast that he created sonic booms on the Soul Battle Stage, making Long Aotian below the stage feel breathless.

Even with his physical abilities, he couldn't possibly unleash such an absurd movement speed without activating his martial soul or awakening it. How did he cultivate such monstrous physical abilities?

Could it be that his martial spirit, like his master's, is his physical body?

"Click".

Jili only felt a blur before his eyes, and Huo Yuhao was almost right in front of him.

Geely's hands moved faster than his brain reacted; almost the instant he saw Huo Yuhao charge, his martial spirit had already possessed him.

A chilling, pale blue aura burst forth from his body. Immediately afterward, his short body suddenly swelled up, and the black shroud on his body burst open, revealing an extremely eerie shape.

After expanding, Jili's first and third spirit rings shone brightly, its upper body was covered with a layer of blue-gray scales, and it became extremely robust, while its lower limbs became shorter and its muscles bulged. Its head became triangular in shape, with protruding lips revealing sharp fangs.

Because of the deformation of his head, his original appearance is no longer recognizable. The scales covering his face look extremely ferocious, and his small eyes emit a chilling light.

Not only that, a cold glint flashed in Jili's small eyes, and his protruding lips and fangs bared outwards, revealing a purplish-black tongue that shot straight towards Huo Yuhao's brow.

The tip of the tongue resembled a pink lotus flower, divided into six petals. As it pierced out, it slowly unfolded, revealing the cavity inside and a ring of irregular sharp teeth.

Attacking with the tongue is extremely bizarre in the eyes of a Soul Master.

But in Huo Yuhao's eyes, this was nothing.

Have you ever seen a guardian ape that, after having its head chopped off, fights while holding its own head in one hand and a large sword in the other, and then, in the middle of the fight, puts its head back on and roars?

Huo Yuhao slightly turned his head, and the long tongue that shot out like lightning landed in empty space. Several strands of hair were knocked off in the blink of an eye, and smoke immediately rose up, clearly indicating that it was highly poisonous.

"poison?"

Huo Yuhao murmured softly, which immediately filled Jili with a sense of panic.

"Brain-eating beast, I know. His martial soul is the Brain-eating beast." In the waiting area of ​​the Tang Sect, Xiao Xiao suddenly exclaimed.

"I heard my teacher say that in the southern part of the continent, there is a terrifying soul beast called the Brain-Eating Beast. They feed on the brains of various creatures. They are extremely ferocious. Once a Brain-Eating Beast appears, it will definitely cause great panic in the local area. Often, if one or two Brain-Eating Beasts pass by, an entire village or town will become a dead zone."

"The tip of the brain-eating beast's tongue is like a lotus bud, with tiny sharp teeth hidden inside. This allows it to pierce the prey's brain when it is launched, and then suck out the brain matter. The tongue is also covered in venom."

Before Xiao Xiao could finish explaining, Huo Yuhao's right hand had already turned into a frosty white, and he used his palm as a knife to slash at the tongue.

[Poisonous Hand Blade: One of the seventeen adopted sons of Oribe Masato, and the signature technique of the Lone Shadow Clan's "Forbidden Hand." It uses the palm as a blade, the palm resembling a snake's edge, and is infused with poison. Forbidden Hand was later killed by Huo Yuhao, who got lost in the castle tower, but his Poisonous Hand technique became Huo Yuhao's food.]

[The Poison Hand Knife is a unique technique that uses the hand as a blade, allowing ninjas to infiltrate banquets and assassinate targets without carrying concealed weapons. This technique should be carefully studied and mastered.]
