Douluo Continent: Martial Soul Spinning Top, Explosive Warrior

"Emperor's Cold Sky - Snow Dance Shining in the Sun!"

The Snow Empress's soul power suddenly erupted, and a blinding white light exploded from her body, rapidly spreading in all directions.

Wherever the light passed, a chill surged, and the surrounding ground, ice walls, and the dome overhead all condensed again, layer upon layer of ice and snow.

The newly formed ice and snow were not ordinary ice, but the kind of mysterious ice that carried a murderous intent and was so hard it could shatter a blade.

"This is... a domain?"

Sword Douluo was taken aback and quickly activated his killing domain to expand outwards.

A crimson light rose from beneath his feet, colliding with the Snow Emperor's white, cold light, producing a hissing sound, like red-hot iron thrown into ice water.

At first, the two were evenly matched.

When the red light pushes outward by one foot, the white light retreats by one foot; when the white light presses in by one foot, the red light pushes back by one foot.

However, this is ultimately the far north, and the icy and snowy land is the Snow Empress's domain, where she has all the advantages of timing and location.

After about three breaths, Sword Douluo's killing domain began to be pressed back little by little, and the blood-red light edge shrank inch by inch, like a lamp being slowly turned off.

"We can't keep going like this; we have to think of a solution."

Chen Xin realized that he shouldn't have competed with Xue Di in terms of domain.

Competing in this field is just asking for trouble, isn't it?

So, without hesitation, he gripped the Asura Divine Sword with both hands and raised the blood-red giant sword high above his head.

Immediately afterwards, all the dense patterns on the sword lit up, like hot blood flowing in veins.

"Since you are so aggressive, then let me show you my self-created 'Slaughtering Sword Technique'!"

Before he finished speaking, Chen Xin swung the Asura Divine Sword in his hand down fiercely.

With this sword strike, countless streaks of blood-red sword energy burst forth from the divine sword.

The sword energy that was unleashed did not fly around haphazardly, but instead converged into a vast and mighty river.

It was a long, blood-red river, carrying intense killing intent, rushing towards the Snow Emperor.

The Killing Sword Technique is a killing move created by Sword Douluo in the City of Slaughter.

The power of this sword technique lies not in how sharp the sword energy is, but in the fact that each sword strike carries a mental attack.

When the attack is launched, the enemy's mind will be drawn into a dreamlike world of corpses and blood, filled with the stench of blood and the wailing of the dead. An ordinary soul master would suffer a mental breakdown just by looking at it.

Snow Emperor is no exception.

The moment the river of sword energy rushed towards her, her vision suddenly changed.

At this moment, what the Snow Emperor perceived was no longer an ice cave or a cold abyss, but a mountain made of white bones, and what flowed beneath her feet was not water, but thick blood.

Countless pale hands reached out from the pool of blood, grabbing at her ankles.

"not good!"

The sword energy had already touched her skin, and that cold, sharp sensation finally pulled the Snow Empress out of her illusion.

She suddenly came to her senses and raised her hand to block.

"So close!"

Sword Douluo shook his head regretfully.

If that sword strike had been just a fraction faster, or if the illusion had lasted a mere second longer, the outcome would have been decided.

"Emperor's Palm - Great Cold with No Snow!"

Snow Emperor extended her right palm again, her flawless white hand blocking her way, her five fingers slightly spread, a thick, impenetrable mass of cold air condensed in her palm.

"Clang clang clang clang—"

Sword Douluo's river of sword energy crashed into Snow Empress's right hand one after another, producing crisp metallic clanging sounds and sparks flying everywhere.

Every sword aura was forcefully blocked by that palm; none of them managed to touch her body.

"How is this possible... I clearly didn't aim the sword energy at her right hand..."

Sword Douluo was greatly alarmed.

His killing sword technique's sword energy was ever-changing and its trajectory unpredictable; logically, the opponent shouldn't have been able to block it all so precisely.

But Xue Di's right hand seemed to have eyes; no matter which angle the sword energy came from, it could always block it directly in front of her.

Sword Douluo had no time to think further and could only continue to unleash his sword energy to fight against Snow Empress.

Soul Skill: Ice Emperor's Claw!

Just as Sword Douluo and Snow Empress were locked in fierce combat, a giant scorpion pincer suddenly emerged from the ice wall to his left.

The scorpion pincers were pure white, with frost on their shells and a faint blue glow at the edges. They were large enough to snap a mammoth in two with a single pinch.

The newcomer was none other than the Ice Emperor, one of the three great ferocious beasts of the far north.

It turns out that Xue Di wasn't the only one who came to ambush Wang Teng and his group.

Hyotei remained hidden within the surrounding ice walls, concealing all its presence, like a hibernating snake patiently waiting for the perfect moment.

At this moment, when Sword Douluo was fully focused on dealing with Snow Empress and had no time to spare, that was the opportune moment chosen by Ice Empress.

"puff--"

The ice wall shattered, and the Ice Emperor's massive body burst forth from the broken ice. His white scorpion body was covered with a thick carapace, and his six long legs moved swiftly across the ice surface. His two huge scorpion pincers opened to the left and right, with the left one heading straight for Sword Douluo to grab him around the waist.

"Grandpa Sword!"

Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing exclaimed in unison.

If this gets stuck, even if Sword Douluo had nine lives, he would still die here.

The scorpion's claws were already three feet in front of Sword Douluo.

"Seventh Soul Skill: Spinning Top True Form!"

At the critical moment, Wang Teng's voice came from behind. It wasn't loud, but it was very steady, like a nail driven into the chaotic air.

"boom--"

The next second, a huge silver-white spinning top broke through the ice beneath Sword Douluo's feet, blocking the scorpion's pincers perfectly.

Ning Rongrong quickly looked closely, and her heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally settled back down.

It turns out that Wang Teng had already absorbed his seventh spirit ring and was currently standing inside the spinning top.

The top was a little over three meters in diameter and about two and a half meters high, with a golden bowl-shaped protective cover at the top. Wang Teng stood inside the protective cover, his hands pressed against the inner wall of the top, his whole body radiating level 75 soul power.

Seventh Soul Skill: Spinning Top True Form.

After unleashing the skill, Wang Teng transformed into a spinning top-shaped sacred beast, merging with his martial spirit to achieve a unified offense and defense.

From now on, he will no longer be afraid of being ambushed at close range.

The biggest weakness of summoning-type Soul Masters has finally been addressed today.

"clang!"

Hyotei's scorpion claw slammed solidly into the spinning top.

The sound was as loud as a temple bell being struck, making people's ears ring.

Then, Wang Teng flew out along with the spinning top.

The force of Ice Emperor's attack was too great. Wang Teng had just absorbed his seventh spirit ring and hadn't had time to familiarize himself with the new power, so he couldn't withstand the blow at all.

The top tumbled several times in mid-air before crashing heavily onto the ice wall opposite.

With a loud crash, the ice wall was smashed, creating a deep crater, and shards of ice cascaded down.

Ultimate Technique: Nine-Headed Sky-Splitter!

Despite the pain all over his body, Wang Teng sprang out of the crater, channeled his soul power in mid-air, and launched a counterattack.

"Whoosh-"

Nine blood-red spatial slashes flew out from the spinning top, each carrying a black line that tore through space. They were silent, fast as lightning, and headed straight for Hyotei.

Soul skills with spatial attributes appear and disappear without a trace.

Hyotei didn't have time to dodge, or rather, she never even intended to dodge.

She raised her other scorpion claw and continued to smash it at Sword Douluo, ignoring Wang Teng's attack.

Unfortunately, Wang Teng's ultimate move landed on Hyotei first.

"boom!"

Nine slashes simultaneously struck Hyotei's scorpion claw.

"Crack!"

Cracks immediately appeared on the surface of the scorpion's pincers, and the cracks deepened, lengthened, and multiplied in an instant, spreading out like cracks on ice.

"Tick!"

Icy blue blood seeped from the cracks, dripping onto the ice surface with a soft "tap-tap" sound.

Hyotei is injured.

"boom--"

At the same moment, the contest between Sword Douluo and Snow Empress also came to an end.

Blood and white light exploded simultaneously, and the two men each retreated seven or eight steps. Neither gained the upper hand, and the fight ended in a draw once again.

"go!"

Sword Douluo acted decisively, his figure flashed, he grabbed Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing beside him, and with a powerful push off the ground, he flew into the sky.

Staying here would only lead to certain death. He was already struggling to deal with one Snow Emperor, and if another Ice Emperor were added, his old bones wouldn't last much longer.

"Soul Bone Skill: Teleportation!"

Wang Teng quickly followed, his figure flashing and disappearing into thin air.

The next instant, he appeared in the path that Sword Douluo was bound to take. Sword Douluo grabbed Wang Teng's arm, and the four of them flew off into the distance without looking back.

"Roar--"
