Chapter 209 Huo Yuhao, Born Evil
Huo Yuhao drew the Dragon-Slaying Blade, which shimmered with nine-colored light, from behind him and slashed it down at the dragon-transformed Xuanji Umbrella.
A dazzling nine-colored blade of light, carrying an irresistible force of fate's judgment, descended from the sky.
Amidst the flashing blades, it seemed as if the mournful cries of countless dragons falling were also present.
For a moment, Xuanji Douluo felt an indescribable sense of desolation rushing into his mind.
The intense trembling even caused his body to shake uncontrollably.
Xuanji Douluo felt an aura of death that he had never felt since becoming a Title Douluo, rising spontaneously from his heart.
He bit his tongue hard, forcing himself to regain some clarity from his nearly shattered mind.
The dragon-transformed Xuanji Umbrella began to spin rapidly, its silvery-white light refracting from the newly formed dragon scales.
Under the leap of silver light, space seemed to shatter like a broken mirror, tearing and disintegrating, as if trying to completely devour the descending dragon-slaying blade.
However, the nine-colored halo on the Dragon Slayer Blade became increasingly vibrant.
As a magic blade personally crafted by the Dragon God and specifically used to judge the dragon race, it is no weaker than the Gold and Silver Dragon Kings in terms of rank, not to mention that it possesses an utterly unreasonable power of judgment over the dragon bloodline.
The nine-colored blade of light descended from above, forcefully cleaving the true form of the Xuanji Umbrella's artifact spirit in two.
A loud bang was followed by a painful groan.
Xuanji Douluo, who had been slammed onto the sea and stirred up waves several meters high, had already transformed back into human form.
On his body, there was an unusually long and grotesque wound.
It slid down from his right shoulder to his left abdomen.
The wound was so deep that bone was visible, and bright red blood gushed out continuously, completely staining Xuanji Douluo's robes with blood.
Physical injuries were not what terrified Xuanji Douluo the most.
After advancing to the level of Title Douluo, a Soul Master's body is already extraordinary, and their vitality is far beyond what ordinary Soul Masters can match.
Although the wound on his body looks extremely horrifying, even if he bleeds for an hour or two, it will only make him weaker, and there is no danger to his life.
What truly terrified him was that, although he had subconsciously used the folding space to transfer most of the damage, thus dissipating most of the power of the Dragon Slayer Blade, it was still a threat.
Even though it was just a light scratch from the blade, he felt like a thin sheet of paper that had almost been cut in two.
What's even more terrifying is that Xuanji Douluo can't sense the existence of his own martial soul at all, as if it has vanished into thin air, leaving only his level 94 soul power cultivation.
Still hovering in mid-air, Huo Yuhao, holding the Dragon Slayer Blade, looked at the Xuanji Douluo, whose martial soul had been completely sealed, and silently grinned.
The golden mist surrounding him, under his mental control, transformed once again into a golden dragon spear.
The spearhead pulsed with light, like a golden lightning bolt, eventually coalescing into a giant golden dragon. Bursting with immense dragon might, it shot towards Xuanji Douluo on the sea surface.
"Wait, wait a minute, stop it, I..."
On Xuanji Douluo's old face, the fear of death could no longer be concealed.
Even with the defensive capabilities of the Xuanji Umbrella, he could barely withstand that terrifying attack.
Now that his martial spirit is sealed, facing this golden dragon spear that seems capable of piercing through everything, he will likely only face certain death.
But before he could finish speaking, the golden lightning bolt had already torn through the void.
Xuanji Douluo's spiritual body completely vanished into nothingness under this golden light.
As the sea returned to calm, Huo Yuhao's golden armor transformed into streaks of golden light, which, under the distortion of space, reformed into the charming and lovely appearance of Di Ruiqiu.
As soon as the spirit fusion ended, Huo Yuhao's body swayed.
A tremendous sense of loss surged through my limbs and bones, and I felt dizzy, as if I had just finished a strenuous workout and was suddenly relaxing.
It should be noted that Huo Yuhao's essence, energy, and spirit have long been in a state of extreme imbalance.
Because his physical body had condensed a dragon core early on, when he activated the Golden Dragon King bloodline, his strength, if disregarding the consequences, could even be compared to that of a Super Douluo.
His spiritual power, due to his profound understanding of the autumn dew, had long since reached a state of being tangible yet intangible. Most titled Douluo might not be able to reach this level of spiritual power.
However, his soul power remains at the Soul Venerable level.
Even though his soul power compression was almost on par with that of an ordinary Soul King, it was still far inferior to his powerful physical body and mental strength.
When he fused his spirit with Di Ruiqiu, his spirit power could easily reach the level of a high-level spirit saint. The feeling of relative balance of his spirit and energy suddenly disappeared, and the resulting imbalance was unimaginable.
Furthermore, by maintaining the illusion of reality and forcibly distorting fate, he modified Xuanji Douluo's Xuanji Umbrella into a dragon, and finally activated the Dragon Slayer Blade to carry out the judgment.
This series of actions has taken an enormous toll on his mental energy, and it will probably take him more than ten days to recover.
Seeing Huo Yuhao swaying precariously, Di Ruiqiu instinctively supported him, then reached out her small hand to pat his back, and couldn't help but mutter:
"Oh dear, how come you're so weak after only a short while?"
She paused, then looked intently at the spot where Xuanji Douluo had disappeared, her crimson eyes gleaming with excitement.
"Alright, alright, let's hurry up and pick up his dropped storage soul tool. Isn't this what you humans call 'murder for treasure'?"
Huo Yuhao forcibly suppressed the discomfort in his body and replied somewhat helplessly:
"We are still in the illusion. What was just erased was only Xuanji Douluo's spiritual body. His storage soul tool is still on his body outside."
"Ugh!"
Di Rachel let out a short gasp, her beautiful crimson eyes filled with undisguised disappointment.
Before she could say anything more, a slightly annoyed voice suddenly rang out from the surroundings.
"This is utterly evil! How could you do this? This is a grave disrespect to the Dragon Clan's magic sword, do you even realize that?"
A petite figure dressed in a black and white dress appeared before the two of them without them noticing.
The black-haired dragon girl's face was full of disbelief, and she couldn't even maintain her usual aloof demeanor.
Gu Moxin was completely dumbfounded.
How could this human, who inherited the bloodline of the Golden Dragon King, be so evil? He even uses illusions to deceive the judgment effect of the Dragon Slayer Blade.
If we were to categorize the judgment effects of the Dragon Slayer Blade, it would undoubtedly be most powerful against beings with dragon bloodlines, followed by other beast bloodlines.
All that's left is to rely on the power of the Dragon Slayer Sword itself to deal pure slashing damage.
But Huo Yuhao actually used this illusion to forcibly modify the opponent's weapon spirit to have the bloodline of the dragon race.
It perfectly deceived the rules of the Dragon Slayer Blade. Even at the moment it struck the Xuanji Umbrella, Gu Moxin vaguely felt that the feel was a little off.
Although Gu Moxin is the spirit of the Dragon Slayer Blade, in essence, she and Gu Xiyue are merely residing on the Dragon Slayer Blade.
She realized what was happening, but the problem was, the Dragon Slayer Sword hadn't.
It can be said that this completely gave Huo Yuhao a huge loophole.
Looking at the gentle-looking young man in front of her, who appeared somewhat pale due to excessive mental exertion, Gu Moxin gritted her teeth angrily, still itching with rage.
After slaying an entity with dragon blood, the Dragon Slayer Blade can enhance itself by harnessing the dragon's soul.
But now, things have turned out differently. I used all my strength to make a cut, only to find that the other party was a complete fake.
Not only did she not gain any benefit, but she also wasted her feelings. You can imagine how angry Gu Moxin was at this moment.
Growing increasingly angry, Gu Moxin pointed at Huo Yuhao's nose and said angrily:
"Human, the Dragon Slayer Blade is for you to slay those sinful dragons, not for you to show off."
Moreover, your actions are truly despicable, even more evil than the Golden Dragon King who inherited negative emotions!
Gu Moxin even wondered if it was because the human in front of her was born evil.
Therefore, after inheriting the divine status of the Golden Dragon King, no negative effects occurred; on the contrary, he was happy with it.
Seeing Gu Moxin breathing on Huo Yuhao, Di Ruiqiu subconsciously stepped forward and shielded Huo Yuhao behind her.
Her eyebrows furrowed, and she rebuked him without any politeness: "What do you think you're doing? Who gave you permission to speak to Huo Yuhao like that?"
My lord told me that if you dare to disrespect Huo Yuhao, I will just smash you with the Golden Dragon Spear.
Not only will it teach you a good lesson, but it will also help you stabilize your dragon soul—it's a win-win situation!
Upon hearing Di Ruiqiu's words, Gu Moxin, who was about to continue breathing on the ground, suddenly froze.
His outstretched finger trembled as he pointed at the two of them, stammering for a long time before he couldn't utter a complete sentence.
"What, do you really want to get hit a few more times by the Golden Dragon Spear?"
As he spoke, a flash of golden light appeared, and the Golden Dragon Spear appeared in Di Ruiqiu's hand, poised to smash it down on Gu Moxin's head.
"Hey, what's the point of smashing me? Even if you want to stabilize the dragon soul, you should smash the Dragon Slayer Blade itself. This is just settling a personal score!"
Gu Moxin let out a scream, and in a flash, she transformed into a black stream of light, merging back into the Dragon Slayer Blade.
"Anyway, human, you just wait and see, I definitely won't be so easily fooled next time."
Watching Gu Moxin vanish without a trace, Di Ruiqiu finally let out a satisfied hum, put away the Golden Dragon Spear, and explained to herself:
"As expected, the Lord was right. Gu Xiyue is openly rebellious, while Gu Moxin is secretly rebellious."
If we don't teach them a lesson, they won't know who's in charge here.
Huo Yuhao rubbed his temples helplessly, feeling that the scene before him made his already dizzy head throb even more.
I want to complain, but after thinking for a long time, I don't know where to start.
"Alright, let's hurry up and get out of here. The finishing touches outside should be starting soon."
"Um……"
Di Rachel nodded obediently, and the two figures slowly disappeared into this illusion.
……
It felt like a single moment, yet also like an eternity.
When their consciousness returned to reality, Huo Yuhao and the others were already in the private rest area of Shrek Academy.
Xuanji Douluo, who should have been standing in the center of the arena, had long since disappeared.
After that earth-shattering battle, the scene fell into a brief silence.
A moment later, the audience erupted in a cacophony of voices, like oil boiling over.
"Good heavens, this Xuanji Douluo is incredibly audacious! He actually dared to openly attack Her Highness the Princess in such a setting."
"Fortunately, His Majesty Tian Sha, His Majesty Xing Yun, and His Majesty the Martial God from Shrek Academy all intervened at the same time, which stopped him in time and prevented him from continuing to wreak havoc on the empire."
"But then again, being able to witness a Title Douluo-level expert in action at this final match makes the ticket price a huge bargain!"
"..."
Hearing the cacophony of voices around him, Huo Yuhao slightly raised his pale face and subconsciously glanced at the group of people in front of him who looked somewhat frightened.
His gaze then swept past them and landed on Xu Jiawei, who was standing in the center of the imperial city, and Dai Hao, who was still being suppressed beside him.
Xu Jiawei seemed to sense his gaze, nodded slightly in his direction, and spoke in a gentle voice.
"Xuanji Douluo had treacherous intentions and has now been executed. As for Dai Hao's crimes, the evidence is conclusive."
"Guards, take Dai Hao away and lock him in the dungeon to await further orders."
"Because of Xuanji Douluo, the normal progress of this final has been disrupted. Therefore, I hereby decide that the competition will be postponed for one hour and will resume immediately."
The arena at this moment appears to be affected by a Title Douluo-level soul skill, with huge craters everywhere, clearly requiring considerable time for emergency repairs.
The people present did not react much to this.
After all, for ordinary people, they may never have the chance to witness a Title Douluo-level powerhouse make a move in their lifetime.
The battles between Title Douluos that we saw before were far more intense than the finals of the Soul Master Tournament itself.
