Huo Yuhao gave the gray whip in his hand a light flick, causing it to crack crisply in the air.
The whip was named Death Lash, specifically designed to attack the Soul; ordinary physical defenses were completely ineffective against it.
At the same time, Huo Yuhao raised his other hand again, and gray light flashed across his eyes, directly casting Wither on Tang Wulin.
Wither was a rather vicious move among the necromancy spells Huo Yuhao had learned; it could cause continuous loss of life force after hitting the target, lasting for three minutes.
Before the match started, Huo Yuhao had specifically sought out Lin Feng to ask about this, as this move was truly too sinister, and using it in a duel might cause irreversible damage.
Only after receiving an affirmative reply from Lin Feng did Huo Yuhao dare to use it with peace of mind. Since Lin Feng said it was fine, it meant everything was within a controllable range and there would be no real danger to life.
After being hit, Tang Wulin could feel it quite clearly; the life energy and Spirit Power within his body were rapidly draining away. This move was quite bizarre and hard to defend against.
"Yuhao, you really have so many tricks..."
Tang Wulin couldn't help but exclaim. He really hadn't expected Huo Yuhao to have so many strange and peculiar moves. Compared to when he first enrolled, Huo Yuhao had become much stronger.
He took a deep breath and, without further hesitation, directly stimulated the Dragon God Bloodline within his body again.
A rich surge of bloodline power welled up from within Tang Wulin, and the luster flowing over the layer of seven-colored scales became a bit brighter; the rate of life force loss caused by Wither instantly slowed down.
Although the curse was still there, Tang Wulin's vast Life Origin could completely withstand this level of drain, and it wouldn't cause any substantial impact in the short term.
After steadying his figure, Tang Wulin did not pause at all, his entire person rushing towards Huo Yuhao like an arrow released from a bowstring!
Huo Yuhao's Spiritual Detection remained in a fully activated state, and he could capture every movement trajectory of Tang Wulin in advance.
He suddenly took a step back to the side, and at the same time, the Death Lash in his hand swung out again. The gray whip carved an arc in the air, precisely whipping towards Tang Wulin's side!
Crack!
The whip landed on Tang Wulin's body. Although it didn't leave any marks on the seven-colored scales, the Death Lash attacked the Soul, and that strike directly caused Tang Wulin's figure to lurch to a halt.
And just at this moment, the mark of the Blood Curse lit up silently at the same location, triggering the damage amplification effect directly. Tang Wulin only felt another stinging sensation deep within his Soul.
However, Tang Wulin did not stop his footsteps because of this; he gritted his teeth and continued to press towards Huo Yuhao.
Huo Yuhao retreated while continuously swinging the whip. Every strike landed precisely on Tang Wulin. Although the damage of each lash was not significant, the frequency was fast, and coupled with the stacking effect of the Blood Curse, Tang Wulin's movements were still somewhat affected.
However, Tang Wulin's combat experience was equally rich, and he quickly adjusted his method of attack.
When he approached to a suitable distance once again, Tang Wulin suddenly raised his right foot and then stomped heavily onto the ground beneath him!
Golden Dragon Shakes the Earth!
A terrifying surge of bloodline power exploded from beneath his feet, and several golden dragon-shadow Qi blasts spread in all directions. The skeleton soldiers surrounding him, who were just preparing to swarm up, were instantly shattered into bone fragments, scattering all over the ground.
Immediately after, Tang Wulin turned around again, a rich layer of golden bloodline power condensing on his right arm. A dragon-shaped phantom coiled around his arm, and he threw a punch with great force!
Golden Dragon Ascends to the Heavens!
That dragon-shaped phantom, carrying fierce punch power, soared upwards and slammed squarely into the Bone Dragon in mid-air.
The Bone Dragon's massive white skeleton shattered directly under this punch, dragon bones splattering in all directions, and the ghostly blue flames in its eye sockets flickered twice before completely extinguishing.
The entire undead army was cleared out by Tang Wulin in just a few short moments.
Watching this scene, Huo Yuhao couldn't help but smile bitterly and shake his head. He finally understood that this type of attack method relying on sheer numbers was completely meaningless in front of Tang Wulin.
He simply didn't continue using Undead Calamity, as summoning them would just be a waste, and to be honest, those skeletons and the Bone Dragon really hadn't been able to stop Tang Wulin at all.
In the Divine Realm, Tang San looked at the necromancy spells Huo Yuhao was displaying on the light screen, and a look of seriousness couldn't help but appear in his blue eyes.
That fellow called Electrolux was merely a fragment from another World, yet he possessed such knowledge; he really should have been made to dissipate completely.
In Tang San's original plan, this Electrolux was destined to disappear. After all, he came from another World, and even if he was now just a remnant of Divine Sense, he was always an unstable factor.
If he were to find an opportunity to revive in the future, he might cause great trouble for himself.
Tang San secretly noted this in his heart; when the right time came, this matter had to be dealt with.
The battle on the competition stage continued.
The three-minute duration of Wither quickly passed, and from the outside, Tang Wulin didn't seem to have been affected much.
Huo Yuhao also couldn't help but sigh inwardly. If he had been hit by this Wither, he probably wouldn't have lasted even a minute. Even though Tang Wulin had slowed down the withering progress of Wither, this was also because Tang Wulin's Life Origin was too vast.
If this Wither were slightly stronger, it might have had some effect, but for Huo Yuhao, doing this much was already his best effort.
And just at this moment, Tang Wulin knew that now, while the Wither on him had ended, it was time to end the engagement. And, he had pretty much seen all of Huo Yuhao's moves.
Immediately after, Tang Wulin's figure, wrapped in seven-colored scales and One-word Battle Armor, saw his Aura soar significantly. His speed, strength, and defense, all three attributes climbed to a quite terrifying level at the same time.
He exerted force with his legs, and his entire person streaked towards Huo Yuhao like a meteor!
The speed was astonishingly fast; in almost the blink of an eye, he had already closed more than half the distance.
Although Huo Yuhao's Spiritual Detection captured Tang Wulin's movement trajectory and he had made predictions and evasive actions in advance, he discovered a quite fatal problem: his body's speed couldn't keep up.
Spiritual Detection could predict where Tang Wulin's attack would land, but his own body had no way to make the corresponding evasive actions in such a short time.
Tang Wulin's fist fell with a fierce whistling sound, and although Huo Yuhao barely managed to dodge the direct hit by turning sideways, the wind of the punch grazed his shoulder, causing a violent impact.
Huo Yuhao's figure was staggered by the impact, nearly falling to the ground.
Tang Wulin didn't give him a chance to catch his breath, and the second attack followed immediately.
Huo Yuhao could no longer dodge this punch.
With a dull thud of "Bang", Tang Wulin's fist landed on Huo Yuhao's chest, and the impact pushed Huo Yuhao directly out of the competition stage's boundary.
Huo Yuhao's feet landed on the ground outside the competition stage. After steadying his figure, he looked down at his chest, then couldn't help but smile bitterly, and raised his head again.
If this punch had landed squarely on his body, he would have been putting on a fireworks show for everyone.
"Wulin, I have lost."
"The third match, Tang Wulin wins."
