Chapter 124 - Spiral Slash

Gradually, the Demon-Breaking Domain began to retract, shrinking to a one-meter radius around Huo Yuhao. Within this small space, the area became a red mist, unaffected by the divine power domain.

Huo Yuhao was merely testing the strength of the two domains. Currently, the divine power domain seemed weaker, but it wouldn't be completely crushed. Huo Yuhao couldn't defeat Wang Qiu'er with just the Demon-Breaking Domain.

Looking up at Wang Qiu'er, Huo Yuhao said softly, "Alright, I've had enough fun. Let's end this."

As he spoke, the spear in Huo Yuhao's hand wriggled and transformed into a simple, black sword with shimmering red demon patterns.

Taking a step forward, Huo Yuhao moved to two meters in front of Wang Qiu'er. He then raised the Evil God Sword high and slashed down, as if he intended to cleave Wang Qiu'er in two.

Spiral Slash—developed from the original Rasengan. After Huo Yuhao mastered the wind attribute, he incorporated it, transforming the violent energy into a slash, emphasizing sharpness. It could be deployed with bare hands or with a weapon.

A crimson sword light erupted from the tip of the Evil God Sword, slicing towards Wang Qiu'er.

Oh no! Sensing the power of the red sword light, Wang Qiu'er's beautiful face changed dramatically, and an unprecedented sense of fear spread through her.

Danger, danger, danger. It was as if a voice was constantly reminding Wang Qiu'er. Her intuition told her that she couldn't block this sword light; she would die.

Two yellow and one purple soul rings instantly appeared around Wang Qiu'er and were lit up simultaneously.

First Soul Skill: Golden Dragon Body, body strength enhancement.

Second Soul Skill: Dragon's Strength, strength enhancement.

Third Soul Skill: Golden Dragon Head, single-target attack.

In an instant, Wang Qiu'er's body surface shimmered with golden light, as if she had put on a golden veil. At the same time, Wang Qiu'er clenched her left fist and punched forward. Under that punch, a golden dragon head phantom charged towards the sword light.

After doing this, Wang Qiu'er hurriedly retreated. While retreating, she also threw the Golden Dragon Spear towards the sword light.

Boom!

The Golden Dragon Head shattered.

Boom!

The Golden Dragon Spear was knocked away. The red sword light, its momentum still strong, slashed directly towards Wang Qiu'er.

It's over. Wang Qiu'er's heart turned cold. She never expected Huo Yuhao's strength to suddenly surge to this extent. Was this his true power?

But why does he want to kill me? This question arose in Wang Qiu'er's mind. She couldn't understand. They had no real hatred, and were even acquaintances. Why would he suddenly want to kill her?

However, the next moment, Wang Qiu'er's retreating body was blocked by something. Without time to think further, Wang Qiu'er saw the incoming sword light slashing towards her, and a black, semi-transparent light shield appeared out of thin air around her.

The black light shield protected her within. Following this, the red sword light landed on the black light shield. The shield trembled, likely because the red sword light's power had been largely offset by Wang Qiu'er's Golden Dragon Head and Golden Dragon Spear. The black light shield ultimately didn't break, and Wang Qiu'er was unharmed.

"Phew."

Letting out a soft breath, the feeling was like she had just taken a trip through the gates of hell, leaving Wang Qiu'er with lingering fear.

After calming down, Wang Qiu'er examined the black, semi-transparent light shield. It felt somewhat familiar, as if she had seen it somewhere before. Right, Huo Yuhao. Wang Qiu'er turned her gaze towards Huo Yuhao, and indeed, she saw him with four soul rings floating around him: one yellow and three purple. Moreover, the fourth soul ring, on the outermost side, was currently flashing, clearly being activated.

"Huo Yuhao, I almost died, you know that?" Wang Qiu'er roared in anger, having just recovered. She had been truly terrified, and the feeling of death being so close had suffocated her.

"Uh, well... I did prepare some protection beforehand," Huo Yuhao said, scratching his head awkwardly, unsure what to do. This was the first time he had truly used Spiral Slash on someone. The offensive power enhanced by his domain had been far stronger than he had anticipated.

Thinking about it now, Huo Yuhao was also a bit scared. With the power of the Spiral Slash, Wang Qiu'er wouldn't have been able to withstand it unless she reverted to her soul beast form, which wouldn't have been a problem.

The Three-Eyed Golden Ni was a true apex soul beast, capable of rivaling a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast after only ten thousand years. Of course, that might be an exaggeration, but its power was undeniable.

But if she hadn't had time to transform and had been killed, Huo Yuhao would basically have to be buried with Wang Qiu'er. The fate of the soul beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest was tied to the auspicious beast. If she were killed, it would lead to the decline of the soul beast race, and that wasn't an exaggeration.

At that time, the entire Star Dou Great Forest would go crazy and fight to the death. Huo Yuhao's small frame wouldn't be able to withstand it, nor would the Ben Ti Sect.

"Eh, what's wrong with the Young Master? Not planning to beat up the Shrek Academy people to vent your anger for the hairy guy?" The short, fat Luo Tianlin, who was only one and a half meters tall, spoke out in confusion from within the Ben Ti team.

Luo Tianlin, a fifty-three-ranked Battle Soul King. Despite the impressive title, he was completely naive, usually focused only on cultivation, and his appearance was unremarkable.

"Hehe, isn't it easy to see? That girl from Shrek Academy must have known the Young Master before, and they seemed to have a pretty good relationship, maybe even lovers, who knows?" The always lively Xiang Yuqing said with a smile.

"Alright, little sister, we can't just casually discuss the Young Master's affairs. Just watch the match," Xiang Wuqing patted her forehead, completely at a loss with her younger sister.

"Are that big sister and big brother really… like that?" Ye Lingling clutched her skirt, her face a little melancholic. The speaker intended nothing, but the listener took it to heart; that's exactly the case with Ye Lingling right now.

"Next." Huo Yuhao held his longsword, pointing towards Shrek Academy's waiting area. It seemed arrogant, but in reality, he was urging the referee to hurry things along.

As he wished, the referee announced Ben Ti Sect's victory. Wang Qiu'er left the stage, and then the only Soul King from Shrek Academy, Ling Luochen, stepped forward. Ling Luochen wore an ice-blue long dress and, after entering the arena, curiously sized up Huo Yuhao. After the initial heat of the moment, the hostility in her eyes had faded considerably.

She was different from the other die-hard loyalists of Shrek Academy. This could be seen from her preparations before they left for the Sun Moon Mountain Range. Doing so many preparations was just a sign of distrust towards a certain Chicken Leg Douluo.

However, it was also because she was cautious enough that she didn't end up like Gongyang Mo and the others, dying without a clear explanation.

The trip to the Sun Moon Mountain Range had caused Ling Luochen to harbor some resentment, and it also sowed the seeds for her future correct choices.

After Ling Luochen took the stage, excited cheers erupted from the audience below, and many men who considered themselves handsome whistled.

Huo Yuhao was speechless, a bunch of face-first fanatics.

But come to think of it, Ling Luochen was indeed beautiful. At Shrek Academy, her beauty was only second to Wang Qiu'er, and on par with Jiang Nannan. However, unlike Jiang Nannan's gentle and graceful beauty, Ling Luochen possessed a cold and aloof beauty, like a solitary plum blossom.

Moreover, there was one thing others couldn't compare to: Ling Luochen had a petite figure, practically a mature loli.

"The match begins."

The referee, as always, was direct and to the point.

As the referee's voice fell, Ling Luochen immediately withdrew her curious gaze, becoming extremely solemn. Two yellow, two purple, and one black soul rings emerged from beneath her feet.
