Douluo: Martial Soul Asura Sword, Supreme Killing God

……

three days later.

The eye of ice and fire.

Three figures descended from the sky and landed at the bottom of the valley.

It was none other than Demon-Slaying Douluo, Ghost, and Bloodthirst.

Ghost has already broken through level 90 and is only one spirit ring away from officially entering the title of Douluo. However, before he could hunt for a spirit ring, he was sent over by Qian Xunji.

The ghost later took on the responsibility of making secret communications. He was elusive and could come and go without a trace. No one was more suitable for this job than him.

Moreover, he and Yue Guan possess a Martial Soul Fusion Skill, and only when the two are together can they unleash their greatest power.

As for Bloodthorn, he hasn't fully refined the Snow-White Swan Kiss yet; he's currently only a Soul Douluo.

"Old ghost!"

Just then, a surprised voice suddenly rang out.

Yue Guan, who was bending over tending to the flowers in the flower field, suddenly straightened up and dropped the tools in her hand.

He ran over with a face full of joy, as if he had seen a lover he had been separated from for a long time, and soon arrived in front of the three of them.

"Chrysanthemum Pass," the ghostly voice rasped.

"Old Ghost, what brings you here?" Yue Guan looked the ghost up and down, then suddenly widened his eyes. "Huh, you...you've broken through?!"

The ghost nodded slightly: "His Holiness the Pope sent me here. I'm responsible for liaising with you. I also obtained a celestial herb, which enabled me to break through."

"That's great, Old Ghost!" Yue Guan said excitedly. "By the way, don't rush to hunt for soul rings. We'll go together later, with Elder Golden Crocodile's help."

"Elder Golden Crocodile?" Ghost asked in surprise.

"Yes."

The two exchanged pleasantries...

Both Demon-Slaying Douluo and Thorn Blood glanced at the two of them but said nothing more.

Everyone in the Spirit Hall knows that Yue Guan and Gui Mei are so close they're practically inseparable.

"Bloodthirst," the Demon-Slaying Douluo ordered in a deep voice. "From now on, the defense here is in your hands. Set up a poison array first, and strengthen it regularly."

"Yes, Elder Demon Slayer." Ci Xue bowed slightly, then his figure flashed and he rushed towards the outer poisonous miasma area.

Chapter 34 Ten Months Later, Green-Edged Mantis

Time flies, and ten months have passed in the blink of an eye.

Now, thanks to Ci Xue's meticulous arrangements, the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye is surrounded by a miasma containing various deadly poisons. Anyone below the Soul Douluo level who dares to venture in faces a near-certain death.

He would reinforce the poison array every now and then to ensure it was foolproof.

Every now and then, the ghost would quietly go to the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye, firstly to catch up with Chrysanthemum Pass, and secondly to bring back mature and rare medicinal herbs to Martial Soul City.

During this time, Su Mo gave the Shadow Leopard's left arm bone, which he had obtained earlier, to Ghost.

Although it is only a little over six thousand years old, its attributes are highly compatible with the Ghostly Martial Soul, and its effect in his hands is no less than that of a ten-thousand-year-old Soul Bone.

When the ghost received the soul bone, its hands trembled slightly, deeply moved.

He worked diligently at the Spirit Hall for many years but never received a single spirit bone as a reward.

Su Mo had only known him for a short time, yet she not only gifted him immortal herbs but now also gave him a soul bone. How could he not be moved?

Moreover, according to His Holiness the Pope's words at the meeting, he has already regarded Su Mo as the next Pope.

If not now, when?

He immediately knelt on one knee: "Your Highness, this life of Guimei is yours from now on."

After ten months of arduous cultivation, Su Mo had completely refined the power of the immortal herbs in his body, gaining immunity to poison and ice and fire, and his physical fitness had also greatly improved.

Afterwards, he refined the Dew of Longing for Autumn Water, and his spiritual power increased dramatically.

Now, absorbing a spirit ring that is over ten thousand years old is no problem for him.

Bibi Dong's progress was equally astonishing.

Her soul power had already broken through to level 40 early on, and with the help of Golden Crocodile Douluo, she obtained her fourth soul ring in Sunset Forest.

It comes from an 8,200-year-old amethyst spider. Its soul skill, Thorn Spider Armor, can condense a layer of purple-gold armor on its body when activated. The armor is covered with barbs and contains poison, which can both defend and reflect damage.

Having consumed the Love-Sickness Heartbreak Red, her cultivation speed has greatly increased, and her soul power has now reached level 44, not far from level 45.

……

Deep within the Starry Sky Forest, in the Mixed Zone.

Five figures moved slowly through the forest.

It was Su Mo, Bibi Dong, Golden Crocodile Douluo, and Chrysanthemum Demon.

After Su Mo emerged from seclusion, the group went straight to the Star Dou Great Forest.

At this moment, Bibi Dong was holding Su Mo's arm tightly, her two round breasts pressed against Su Mo's arm. The two were chatting and laughing, their posture intimate and natural.

Su Mo and Bibi Dong now look more mature and have grown much taller.

Su Mo has shoulder-length black hair and a handsome face.

Bibi Dong's long, flowing hair cascaded down to her waist, accentuating her figure.

Just then, Golden Crocodile Douluo suddenly stopped and raised his hand in a gesture.

The four of them paused simultaneously, and Su Mo and the other stopped talking.

About fifty meters ahead, a soul beast was lying quietly.

It was a mantis-shaped soul beast with a bright blue-green body. It was huge, with a length of nearly three meters, and its entire body was covered with a layer of dark green carapace.

What is most striking are its two dark green blade arms, which are extremely sharp on the outside, gleaming with a cold light and adorned with several dark red lines, while the inside is covered with dense, serrated barbs.

On its back, two pairs of translucent wings are folded together, giving it astonishing speed for short bursts and dashes.

It sensed the sudden appearance of a human soul master in its territory, and a violent glint flashed in its eyes.

Its massive body instantly lowered, assuming a perfect fighting stance, its two sword-wielding arms crossing in the air, and two pairs of wings on its back constantly flapping.

“The Azure Mantis,” Golden Crocodile Douluo said calmly. “It is 12,000 years old and is known for its speed and attack. Its blade-like arms are incredibly sharp and are said to be able to break through metal and stone. Its weakness is its abdomen.”

Su Mo's gaze was fixed on the Azure Mantis.

“That’s good, this is it.” He said calmly.

He gently patted Bibi Dong's hand, which was resting on his arm, signaling her to let go.

Bibi Dong slowly withdrew her hand.

Su Mo took a step forward, releasing his martial soul, the Asura Demon Sword, with three soul rings—one yellow and two purple—surrounding his feet.

His first and second spirit rings lit up one after another, with yellow and purple lights shining brightly in turn.

His body was covered with a faint layer of blood-red energy armor.

His speed, strength, and defense surged instantly, and the attack power of the Asura Demon Sword Martial Soul also surged accordingly.

He transformed into a blood-red afterimage, leaving a long trail, and in the blink of an eye, he was in front of the Azure Mantis, thrusting out the Asura Demon Sword.

The Azure Mantis is, after all, a ten-thousand-year-old soul beast, and its reaction speed is astonishing.

At the critical moment, its two blade arms crossed to block, and the blade arms collided with the sword tip with a loud crash.

The blue-toothed mantis slid backward several meters, carving deep furrows in the ground, before finally regaining its footing.

At the same time, Su Mo's forward momentum came to an abrupt halt.

It is evident that although the Azure Mantis is weak in defense, its strength, attack, and speed are extremely terrifying.

With the support of two amplifying soul skills, Su Mo's soul power is only level 40, but his overall strength has reached the level of a Soul Emperor.

The fact that it blocked the attack head-on demonstrates the toughness and strength of its blade arm.

Having failed in his first attack, Su Mo used the momentum to leap backward, creating distance between them.

However, the Blue-Edged Mantis was completely enraged.

Its two pairs of wings on its back suddenly vibrated at a high frequency, emitting a piercing buzz, and its huge body transformed into a streak of blue light, chasing straight towards Su Mo.

Its speed was astonishing, comparable to Su Mo's, and it caught up in an instant.

With a flash of cold light, the two sword-wielding arms suddenly slashed down at Su Mo in a cross shape.

Su Mo raised his sword to parry, and the sound of metal clashing against metal was deafening.

A terrifying force emanated from the sword, and Su Mo felt a tingling sensation in his tiger's mouth.

Seeing its blade arm blocked, the Green-Edged Mantis launched an even more ferocious attack.

Its twin blades slashed down like a storm, each strike accompanied by a piercing shriek that tore through the air.

Su Mo fought and retreated, his blood-red afterimages and cyan streams of light constantly clashing and intersecting in the forest, each clash sparking blinding sparks.

In just a few breaths, the two had already exchanged more than ten blows.

The blood-red armor on Su Mo's body had already been scratched several times by the terrifying blade arm of the Azure Mantis, and it was on the verge of shattering.

Just after another parry, with a soft click, a pair of black and gold sword wings suddenly unfolded behind Su Mo.

Countless sword feathers detached from the sword wings, transforming into a dark rain of swords that skimmed the ground and shot towards the abdomen of the Azure Mantis.

The Azure Mantis hurriedly retreated, wildly wielding its twin blades in an attempt to block the sudden barrage of sword feathers.

However, those black sword feathers seemed to have a life of their own, drawing strange arcs in the air, bypassing its blade arm, and shooting towards its abdomen from all sorts of tricky angles.

The Azure Mantis had to devote more energy to dealing with these sword feathers that were like leeches clinging to its bones.

Chapter 35, Fourth Soul Skill: The Flattering Duo

At that moment, Su Mo's aura suddenly changed, as if he had become a completely different person.

A red light flashed in his eyes, an almost eerie, blood-red glow that inspired awe.
