Chapter 253 Great Battle!
Elder Li and Elder Song were about to engage him in battle, but who knew that the Lich Douluo was merely feinting before fleeing again. It was at this moment that the aura Wu Xuan was most familiar with—Elder Xuan—made his move.
Earthy-yellow energy suddenly flashed at his legs, then his body trembled, leaving a blur in place, while his true form appeared before the Lich Douluo without warning.
Elder Xuan's sudden appearance startled the Lich Douluo, causing his soul power to surge wildly. A powerful dark blue streak shot out from his right arm, hurtling towards Elder Xuan.
Even from a distance, Wu Xuan could see that both Elder Xuan and the Lich Douluo were using soul bone skills.
Of course, the Lich Douluo's mere ten-thousand-year soul bone skill had no effect on Elder Xuan. The earthy-yellow energy expanded, instantly crushing the dark blue streak. Elder Xuan leaned forward abruptly, crashing into the Lich Douluo's arms. He twisted his waist, concentrating all his power in his right fist, then swung his shoulder, slamming it into the latter's outstretched right arm.
The instant the fist struck, the terrifying power hidden within the fist's bones surged forth, finally entering the Lich Douluo's right arm in a horrified display. Instantly, his right arm and shoulder exploded!
"Pfft!"
The powerful energy erupted, and the Lich Douluo crashed to the ground, his face turning deathly pale. A low groan escaped his throat; clearly, this truly fatal attack had caused him to cough up a mouthful of bright red blood.
A dark blue right arm soul bone flew out from the shattered flesh and landed precisely in Elder Xuan's hand.
The Lich Douluo, clutching his severed right arm, sneered, "You Shrek Academy people claim to be righteous leaders, yet you resort to such despicable sneak attacks. It's truly laughable."
"What a joke! How dare you, a mere executioner, judge Shrek Academy!" Elder Song retorted sharply.
"Don't flatter us. Shrek Academy has never claimed to be righteous. We act according to our own will. And you scoundrels deserve to be killed by everyone," Elder Li sneered disdainfully.
Elder Li, whose full name was Li Yuquan, was of commoner origin. His martial soul inheritance was only mid-level in his local town—the Flashing Sword. However, in his generation, it mutated into a top-tier weapon martial soul with lightning elements, which Elder Li named the Thunderclap Sword.
He possessed innate level nine soul power and, accompanied by his parents, went directly to Shrek City. Through internal transfer, he became a direct disciple of an Inner Court Title Douluo, thus becoming a direct disciple of Shrek Academy. His path was smooth, and he eventually cultivated to become a level ninety-five Super Douluo.
Therefore, Elder Li, a commoner genius, was one of the elders in the Sea God Pavilion who hated evil soul masters the most.
"Haha! You think you can take me down just because you have one more Super Douluo lying in ambush? Let me tell you, wishful thinking!" The Lich Douluo, with his androgynous laughter, turned into blood mist and fled again.
"Where do you think you're going? Stay here!" The fifth soul, as black as ink, shone brightly. Elder Xuan reached out and squeezed, and the Lich Douluo, now in blood mist, was directly captured by the earthen-yellow light barrier, unable to break free no matter how hard he tried.
"Elder Xuan, kill him quickly, lest something unforeseen happens," Elder Li urged hastily.
"Alright!" Elder Xuan nodded, and in the next instant, his five fingers clenched tightly, and the light barrier began to compress inward.
Instantly, the blood mist shattered, and a series of miserable howls rang out from within the light barrier.
Just when Elder Li and Elder Song thought they had it all figured out, a massive, dark golden claw suddenly appeared in the void hundreds of meters away. This claw was well over ten meters long, its terrifying sharpness causing even the Super Douluo Elder Li and Elder Song to change color drastically.
The light barrier was instantly crushed by the claw, and the dying Lich Douluo escaped laughing maniacally.
The three sensed something was wrong, their minds darkening. Then, the rustling sound of sharp blades cutting through bushes and giant trees came from nearby. Instantly, a giant tree to their right was snapped in half, and a colossal creature burst forth.
It was a giant bear, dozens of meters long, its fur a dense, dark golden color, and its forepaws wielded terrifying blades as long as a human thigh.
"A 100,000-year-old Dark Golden Terrorclaw Bear?" Even Elder Xuan's expression turned grave as he looked at the dark golden bear with its eerie, blood-red eyes.
The blood mist reverted to its original form, and the Lich Douluo, missing half a shoulder, suddenly contorted into a ferocious expression, making his androgynous features even more bizarre and terrifying.
"Ninth Soul Skill, Blood Soul Fusion!"
With the Lich Douluo's shrill cry, the flesh and blood of his right arm, shattered by Xuan Lao's punch, strangely began to writhe from the ground. Seeing that the flesh and blood were still under his control, the Lich Douluo breathed a sigh of relief, biting his tongue and spitting out a mouthful of blood, which then seeped into the flesh and blood. In an instant, a bizarre, nauseatingly foul-smelling blood mist rose up.
The charging Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear, upon smelling the odor, attacked Xuan Lao and the other two like a mad dog.
Xuan Lao's expression changed drastically. The moment his sixth ring lit up, a tidal wave of earth spikes crashed down on the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear, briefly restraining the frenzied bear.
"Hahaha! Useless! Today I'll show you Shrek's mad dogs that evil spirit masters aren't so easy to kill!" Amidst the roar of laughter, a blood mist mixed with flesh surged towards the 100,000-year-old Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear.
"Old Li, stop him!" Elder Xuan roared.
"Understood! Eighth Spirit Skill, Thunderous Thousand-Foot!"
Blue and white lightning filled Elder Li's eyes. With a long howl, countless thunderous sword energies roared across the sky, their echoes seeming to tear the heavens and earth apart!
The most powerful element of the continent, lightning, materialized, condensing into swords, instantly forming thousands upon thousands of countless blades! Seeing the tens of thousands of thunderous sword blades suddenly appear in the void, even the sleazy Wu Xuan nearby gaped in astonishment.
Currently, he could only condense about a hundred wind blades at most, and even with the power of his fifth spirit ring, he could barely break a thousand. He didn't know how far he was from reaching ten thousand.
With Elder Li's roar, the tens of thousands of lightning swords that had enveloped the sky instantly unleashed their power, descending with the force of a tidal wave!
"Super!" The Lich Douluo's eyes bulged, and he fled with all his might, but how could he possibly dodge? How could he so easily evade the eighth soul skill of a Super Douluo?
"Bang, bang! Ah! Ah!~~" The sizzling sound of lightning striking flesh, mixed with androgynous screams, echoed continuously within a hundred meters.
Although the foul-smelling blood mist was reduced to a mere fraction by Elder Li's attack, nearly thirty percent still merged into the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear's body.
