Douluo Continent: Sword Named Star, Slaying Gods to Prove the Dao

With two sharp clangs, Ning Xingchen's sword was blocked by the Iron Wolf's claws.

Ning Xingchen continued to strike with his sword, while Tie Lang continued to use his iron claws to counter.

A series of resounding clangs echoed.

However, Ning Xingchen's sword became increasingly sharp, and Tie Lang gradually fell into a disadvantageous position.

His arms and body were cut by Ning Xingchen's longsword, forcing him to retreat and keep his distance from Ning Xingchen.

"I'm curious, what level is your soul power?" Tie Lang asked doubtfully. Judging from Ning Xingchen's soul power fluctuations, his soul power didn't seem to be very high.

"That should be enough to deal with you," Ning Xingchen said calmly.

"Is that so?" Iron Wolf sneered.

"Your sword is sharp, and your swordsmanship is also formidable. Close combat with you is disadvantageous to me, but that's all." Iron Wolf seemed quite confident.

The next instant, a patch of gray-black, iron-like scales began to grow from its chest, and then the scales covered its entire body.

Damn, another one of these precious torso bones?

No wonder the Flying Silver Wolf Soul Saint had a torso bone earlier; it turns out the Iron Wolf already had one in the same spot.

Its entire body was covered in scales, leaving only its eyes visible.

"Come on, let's continue." Iron Wolf charged again, this time no longer afraid of Ning Xingchen's sword.

The sound of metal striking metal clearly indicated that Ning Xingchen's attack was ineffective.

With the support of this set of phosphorus armor, Iron Wolf no longer hesitated and charged forward.

However, after fighting for a while, Ning Xingchen discovered a drawback: while the scale armor increased the Iron Wolf's defense and strength, it seemed to reduce its speed to some extent.

This speed is probably more than 10%, so Ning Xingchen's attacks are more effective than before.

However, Iron Wolf cannot keep attacking; it will definitely use its corresponding soul skills.

Just as he was thinking, Iron Wolf's arms lit up, his soul rings glowed, and a punch he threw had such force that Ning Xingchen had to take several steps back.

Then Iron Wolf's body swelled up once more, and he strengthened himself again with his soul skill.

"You think you can fight me without showing some real skill? You can't defeat the second-in-command like this," Iron Wolf shouted.

But Iron Wolf's defense is too strong, and with its soul skills, it's practically invincible.

We must find a way to break this deadlock.

Ning Xingchen's trump card cannot be used lightly; once used, it must have an effect.

His weaknesses?

Eye?

Ning Xingchen immediately made a change, using one sword to defend and the other to attack the other's eyes, which seemed to have an effect.

But it's only a close call.

In that case, the sword is with all things.

Countless sword blades attacked Iron Wolf, the clanging sounds echoing incessantly, but the guy just stood there motionless, even mocking Ning Xingchen.

"What? Are you trying to tickle me? This is your last chance."

As soon as he finished speaking, the seven spirit rings on Iron Wolf's body lit up, revealing his true spirit form.

Even after using the True Spirit of the Martial Soul, the phosphorus scales of the Soul Bone Skills remained on his body.

He probably knew that it wouldn't be easy to defeat Ning Xingchen in that state, so he directly used his Martial Soul True Body.

A three-meter-tall, five-meter-long iron-boned wolf appeared before Ning Xingchen.

The same attack was launched, with the user unleashing a soul skill that sent out an energy blast that relentlessly hurtled towards Ning Xingchen.

The Iron Wolf Mercenary Group had already experienced this kind of soul skill before, and they kept dodging while holding the Star Sword.

Iron Wolf was also changing positions, but fortunately Ning Xingchen had already successfully mastered the Five Apertures Dispersion Heart, so he was able to focus on the changes in the battle.

Despite Iron Wolf's attacks, Ning Xingchen was still able to dodge them with ease.

But the more Iron Wolf fought, the more confused he became. This guy was actually using a soul skill!

If two swords are already this troublesome, what about after using soul skills?

Iron Wolf wasn't stupid. Although he said that, he hadn't used his full strength yet. While attacking, he was also on guard against Ning Xingchen.

Using his Martial Soul True Body also put enough pressure on Ning Xingchen.

Therefore, Iron Wolf abandoned his soul skill attacks and instead increased his speed and strength to engage Ning Xingchen in close combat.

A claw swung out and struck Ning Xingchen's sword. A tremendous force was transmitted, almost causing Ning Xingchen to drop the sword from his hand.

Is this the difference between having a Martial Soul True Body and not having one?

Iron Wolf's strength grew stronger and its speed increased. After transforming into its Martial Soul True Form, its speed was not affected at all; on the contrary, it became much faster.

Because Ning Xingchen killed the level 78 Flying Silver Wolf, Iron Wolf was particularly cautious in his battle with Ning Xingchen.

It was this caution that saved him from several life-threatening crises throughout his life.

……

At the same time, several Soul Masters chased after Liu Erlong and the others who were about to descend the mountain.

One Soul King and four Soul Masters.

Normally, the six of them could handle it, but now, apart from Liu Erlong, the rest of them were seriously injured.

"Trying to run away isn't that easy."

"Didn't we agree to let us leave?" Liu Erlong said coldly.

"leave?"

"Haha, it was the boss who let you leave, not us."

"Brothers, save this Fire Dragon Martial Soul for the boss, the rest are ours. Go get them, whoever catches them gets them."

"Sisters, fight them! Even if it means death, don't let them succeed."

Liu Erlong and the other five released their martial spirits together. Even though their injuries greatly affected them, they had no choice but to fight desperately at this moment.

"good very good!"

Liu Erlong immediately unleashed a burst of fire, which was dodged by the Soul King in front of him, but the attack still produced a huge explosion.

In the plaza within the Iron Wolf Mercenary Group, Qingyu frowned, already able to guess the general idea.

"Iron Wolf, didn't you say you'd let my other sisters go? How could you do this?" Qingyu said coldly.

But now her body is bound, and there is a level 71 Soul Saint next to her.

Qingyu's words received no response from Tielang, who was engaged in battle. Instead, the middle-aged Soul Saint beside him said, "The boss let us go, but we didn't say we'd let us go, haha..."

A burst of laughter rang out, and tears welled up in Qingyu's eyes. Just as she gave up her attack, someone from the opposing side came and sealed her soul power.

It was too late to resist; Iron Wolf had personally sealed her soul power, and it couldn't be unsealed in time.

How could I have trusted Iron Wolf?

Utterly foolish!

Watching Ning Xingchen and Tie Lang fight, Qing Yu whispered, "It's over, it's over, everything is over."

"Can you do it?"

At this moment, all their hopes rested on Ning Xingchen, who was fighting the Iron Wolf.

However, at this moment, Ning Xingchen, who was in the middle of the battle, finally began to exert his strength.

Iron Wolf's attack was too fierce, so Ning Xingchen had no choice but to use his sword technique to strike down with a single sword strike, accompanied by the first move of the Nine Star Swords, named Star.

This sword strike was quite powerful. Although Iron Wolf used his iron claws to block it, he couldn't stop it completely.

One of its iron claws was chopped off by Ning Xingchen, and Ning Xingchen also cut a gash in its scales with his sword.

"what……"

Iron Wolf felt the pain and roared, "Is this your trump card? No wonder you were able to kill the second brother. This move is indeed very powerful, but that's all."

As he spoke, eight spirit rings lit up on Iron Wolf's body, indicating that he was about to use his eighth spirit skill.

"Boss's eighth soul skill, Azure Wolf Destruction, this kid is doomed."

"Yes, the boss once used this soul skill to kill an 83rd level Soul Douluo."

A Soul Douluo's eighth Soul Skill, still used under the Martial Soul True Body.

Just as Iron Wolf was about to use his eighth soul skill, everyone stepped back a distance, seemingly afraid of being accidentally injured.

Iron Wolf's eighth soul skill caused his body to expand four or five times in an instant, and then the four-times-sized Iron Bone Wolf body rushed towards Ning Xingchen.

After the massive Iron-Bone Wolf charged forward, its original body remained in place.

While the opponent was activating their eighth soul skill, Ning Xingchen was also gathering his strength.

Once again, he gathered his sword energy and combined it with the second move of the Star Sword, which he had just learned, to pierce the sky.

Faced with the enormous iron-boned wolf coming towards him, Ning Xingchen abandoned his other sword and swung the Star Sword with both hands.

A deafening roar.

Ning Xingchen's Star Sword landed on the huge Iron-Bone Wolf.

The enormous sound and impact emanated a shockwave centered on Ning Xingchen, instantly damaging the houses around the plaza and even blasting several Soul Masters away.

Several Soul Masters from the Azure Feather Mercenary Group took this opportunity to escape the control of the Iron Wolf Mercenary Group's Soul Masters.

Looking at the center of the square, Ning Xingchen, holding the Star Sword, was still confronting the giant Iron-Bone Wolf, struggling to resist it.

"Very well, but do you think my eighth soul skill is only this capable?"

"Explode!"

The next instant, the massive iron-boned wolf, several meters tall, began to glow, indicating it was about to explode.

Is it almost over?

This was the first time Ning Xingchen had felt a sense of crisis; he had underestimated a Soul Douluo.
