Douluo Continent: Martial Soul Spinning Top, Explosive Warrior

The golden-red fire wall guarding the cave entrance opened a crack at the right moment, and the three large spinning tops filed out and rushed towards the open plain outside.

The firewall immediately closed again, sealing the opening completely.

As for the Sacred Firebird Spinning Top, Wang Teng did not send it to attack, but instead left it at the cave entrance to defend against the cunning Lightning Sable.

"Xiao Hong, guard the entrance and don't let that beast crawl in, do you hear me?"

Wang Teng shouted instructions to the Flaming Bird Sacred Beast at the cave entrance.

"Understood, Master."

The Flaming Bird Holy Beast responded firmly.

Its wings flapped as it did its best to maintain the thick wall of flames.

Wang Teng, meanwhile, was multitasking, focusing intently on controlling the three spinning tops as he launched an attack on the Lightning Sable in the open space outside.

"Gale-force Divine Steed Spinning Top, Ultimate Move: Phantom Wind Chaser!"

At the beginning, Wang Teng sent the fastest wind-attribute spinning top to the front.

A streak of blue light flashed through the air and arrived less than three meters in front of the Lightning Sable in the blink of an eye.

"Whoosh!"

The lightning ferret reacted extremely quickly, suddenly unleashing a dazzling burst of purple lightning from its body, and then its figure vanished into thin air.

The Gale Steed missed its target, but without hesitation, it immediately changed direction and charged after the disappearing Lightning Sable.

However, the situation on the field was quite clear.

Even Wang Teng's fastest spinning top couldn't keep up with the speed of this ten-thousand-year-old soul beast.

Fortunately, Wang Teng had two other tops as backup plans.

Just as the Gale Steed was giving chase, the Violent Pegasus Steed had already circled around from the left, precisely intercepting the Lightning Sable's possible escape route.

"Violent Pegasus Spinning Top, Ultimate Move: Meteor Strike!"

A golden-blue light suddenly shone on the Violent Pegasus Spinner.

In a flash of light, the speed of the spinning top suddenly increased dramatically, becoming even faster than the Gale Steed spinning top by three points.

"Whoosh-"

A violent whooshing sound reverberated around the Violent Pegasus Top. The golden streak of light, just like a meteor, streaked across the sky and shot straight toward the Lightning Sable.

"squeak--"

Even the lightning ferret that had been dodging was enraged.

Faced with the violent Pegasus top attacking from the left, it stopped dodging and instead turned around to rush headlong into the golden light.

"what--"

The lightning ferret leaped into the air, opened its small mouth in mid-air, and suddenly spat out a purple lightning bolt as thick as a thumb.

The purple lightning collided violently with the golden stream of light.

"boom!"

A violent explosion suddenly rang out in the open space, creating a crater about one meter in diameter.

Dirt flew everywhere, and dust filled the air.

After the explosion, the smoke and dust gradually dissipated.

Thanks to its tough fur, the Lightning Sable Soul Beast withstood the impact of the explosion and appeared to be completely unharmed.

Wang Teng's Violent Pegasus Top, however, does not have such strong defensive capabilities.

It was thrown directly by the shockwave of the explosion, tumbling several times in mid-air, and even a few fine cracks appeared on its surface.

Wang Teng frowned, and with a thought, he retrieved the damaged Violent Pegasus Top.

At this moment, the Lightning Sable, which had paused briefly to launch an attack, was finally caught up by the relentlessly pursuing Gale Steed.

"One more time!"

"Ultimate move, Phantom Chasing Wind!"

Wang Teng unleashed his full soul power, and the phantom of the Sacred Beast Gale Steed above the spinning top reared up with its four hooves flying, fully coordinating with the spinning top's attack rhythm.

The Gale Steed Spinning Top transformed into countless afterimages, continuously attacking the Lightning Sable from all directions.

However, Wang Teng never expected that this lightning weasel not only had an astonishingly fast straight-line speed, but also such a terrifying ability to dodge short distances.

Outside the cave, the open ground was filled with the afterimages of the beast and the spinning top.

Those were the traces left in the air after they reached their maximum speed.

"We can't catch up at all..."

Wang Teng gritted his teeth and glanced at the Steel Wing Bat Spinner that was lurking nearby, waiting for its chance to strike.

Although the spinning top kept circling around the perimeter of the battle zone, looking for a suitable opportunity to attack, the lightning ferret was just too fast, and it couldn't find any opening to strike.

"A ten-thousand-year-old soul beast is still too strong... With my current strength, it's still too much of a stretch to kill it."

Wang Teng knew that continuing like this would only be a waste of his soul power.

So, he made a quick decision, recalling both the Gale Steed and the Steel Wing Bat Spinner, and retreated back into the cave.

"squeak--"

Seeing Wang Teng retreat voluntarily, the Lightning Sable Soul Beast's little face revealed a hint of human-like smugness, and it cried out a few more times in the direction of the cave, as if in a show of defiance.

Inside the cave, Wang Teng paced back and forth, his brow furrowed, pondering his next move.

"Since we can't beat them, should we just run away?"

"With the flight ability of the Blue Silver Emperor Soul Bone, as long as I can dodge the Lightning Sable's first sneak attack, I have a high chance of flying away through the sky..."

"But wouldn't it be too humiliating to just slink away like this?"

"Isn't there any way to get rid of this ten-thousand-year-old soul beast?"

Wang Teng stopped in his tracks, his eyes flickering uncertainly.

After a long while, he finally made up his mind and decided to just use his soul bone skill to fly away.

However, just as Wang Teng reached the cave entrance and was about to have the Flame Bird withdraw the wall of fire, his peripheral vision caught a glimpse of a trace of dark red blood on the stone wall at the cave entrance.

Those were the marks left when he killed those Night Soul Bats.

A sudden flash of inspiration struck Wang Teng.

"That's right! Lightning Sable Soul Beasts and Night Soul Bats are natural enemies, so this Lightning Sable outside is very likely after the Night Soul Bat corpses inside the cave!"

Chapter 247 Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Bone

“If I throw these Night Soul Bat corpses at it, it will likely abandon me and go eat those Night Soul Bats instead.”

"This way, I can either take the opportunity to escape or launch a sneak attack while it's eating!"

Upon realizing this idea, Wang Teng quickly turned his head to look into the depths of the cave.

At the very back of the cave, the corpses of dozens of Night Soul Bats lay silently on the ground, piled up into a small mountain.

Wang Teng quickly returned to the cave, picked up the largest Night Soul Bat leader from the pile of corpses, and strode towards the cave entrance.

Upon arriving at the wall of fire at the cave entrance, Wang Teng did not rush to throw the corpse out. Instead, he carefully took out a palm-sized stone bottle from his storage soul tool.

He carefully inserted the stone bottle directly into the deep wound of the Night Soul Bat leader's corpse, and then covered the wound with hair.

After doing all this, a cold smile appeared on Wang Teng's lips.

"I'd like to see if you can survive in the highly poisonous waters of this Yin-Yang Well."

It turns out that Wang Teng was planning to use the same old trick again, using poison to decide the outcome.

The stone bottle contained the highly poisonous pool water that he had collected from the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire.

Its toxicity had already been proven in the Night Soul Bat leader.

After finishing, Wang Teng nodded to the Flaming Bird Sacred Beast.

The Flamebird understood and opened a small gap in the wall of fire.

Wang Teng took a deep breath, exerted his strength, and hurled the massive corpse of the Night Soul Bat leader out of the cave.

"boom--"

The massive body slammed heavily onto the ground outside the cave, kicking up a cloud of dust, which immediately caught the attention of the lightning sable not far away.

The lightning ferret paused for a moment, then immediately jumped backward.

As soon as the lightning ferret landed, it pricked up its ears and stared warily at the suddenly appearing corpse.

After a while, and confirming that there was no unusual movement, it cautiously took a step and moved forward little by little.

It first circled the corpse several times, its nostrils flaring, sniffing carefully, before finally feeling reassured and boldly approaching.

"squeak?"

Suddenly, the lightning ferret's little nose twitched even more frequently.

A bone-chilling coldness mingled in the air, completely out of place with everything around it.

A hint of confusion flashed in its small eyes.

At that moment, inside the cave, Wang Teng stared intently at the outside commotion through the cracks in the fire wall, his heart leaping into his throat.

"Could it be... that it detected the scent of the pool water hidden inside the corpse?"

Wang Teng's palms were sweaty, and his body tensed slightly.

If this plan fails, he will have no choice but to flee immediately.

"Hopefully they haven't discovered it... otherwise, I'll have to retreat for now."

Wang Teng prayed silently in his heart.

Perhaps Wang Teng's prayers really worked, or perhaps this lightning weasel was too arrogant and conceited, relying on its status as a ten-thousand-year-old soul beast, and simply didn't take this unusual scent seriously.

It ignored the unique smell and instead opened its small mouth, biting hard at the neck of the Night Soul Bat corpse.
