Chapter 308: Killing the Xing Luo Ancestor
Seeing that his soul-powered kick couldn't shatter the ice, Erming grinned, stretched his neck, and directly walked to Daming and Ah Bao, making it clear that this problem was his to solve.
Daming and Ah Bao didn't refuse and stepped back a few kilometers, leaving the battlefield to Erming.
After dealing with two Soul Douluo, A Zhu's figure appeared like a ghost beside Daming.
"Aren't you going to do something?"
Daming rolled his eyes and said, annoyed, "You want us to gang up on this small fry? Don't you have any shame?"
"Uh..."
A Zhu was unable to retort. After all, a Super Douluo guarding the gate didn't require such a large-scale response. The three of them then turned their attention to the two men in the arena.
"Well, let's see. Show me how you plan to kill me."
"Seventh Soul Skill: Martial Soul True Body, Fifth Soul Skill: White Tiger Star Transformation, Second Soul Skill: White Tiger Blazing Light Wave."
Knowing the man in front of him was no easy target, Dai Qianyuan immediately decided to use his full power. If he didn't start reducing the numbers quickly, he would end up being overwhelmed by the four's combined attacks. And who knew if they had any other allies hiding nearby?
Erming slightly raised an eyebrow. He didn't even have the interest to dodge such an attack, instead standing in place to enjoy the golden light bath.
"What?"
Dai Qianyuan had expected the enemy to be difficult, but he never imagined it would be this terrifying. Despite his enraged strike, the opponent didn't dodge or flinch, instead absorbing the blow with his body's strength.
"Are you scratching an itch for me? If you've got more, use it all at once. If not, I'll start attacking."
"Damn it, you'll pay for your arrogance."
"Eighth Soul Skill: White Tiger Overlord Slash!"
In Martial Soul True Body form, Dai Qianyuan suddenly condensed glaring light in both his hands, sprinting like the wind toward Erming, his claws transforming into golden blades as they slashed at him.
"This is a bit interesting. Gravitational Field."
As Erming released his field, Dai Qianyuan felt as though a massive mountain had suddenly appeared on his body, making him feel pressured and slowing down his attack.
"Boom."
Dai Qianyuan's claws clashed with Erming's fists, and after a few seconds, Erming was forced to retreat several dozen steps. Clearly, the eighth Soul Skill of a Super Douluo still had some power.
"Not bad, not bad. Come on, give me more."
Erming pounded his chest, excitement gleaming in his eyes. He loved fighting strength-based opponents. He enjoyed the brutal, direct combat.
"Hmph, you're talking big. To fight with me and not even release your Martial Soul? Die, now."
"Ninth Soul Skill: Storm Nebula Rupture!"
Enraged, Dai Qianyuan sought to quickly eliminate Erming, once again releasing his ninth Soul Skill, despite the risk of exhausting his soul power.
A storm surged in the sky, causing a spatial disturbance. The energy gathered in the White Tiger's mouth and unleashed a destructive beam toward Erming.
"Martial Soul? How could I possibly have that? But your move isn't bad. Let me show you the strength of this grandpa."
Erming let out a roar, transforming into his true form. The towering Titan Giant Ape, over twenty meters tall, rose from the ground.
Dai Qianyuan's pupils constricted, and he let out an incredulous shout.
"Soul Beast? Titan Giant Ape?"
At that moment, he seemed to understand how the beast tide made up of ten-thousand-year soul beasts had come together, though his guess was wrong.
"Titan Sky Break!"
Erming swung his hand back, gathering power, and then slammed it into the incoming destructive light beam. The sound of the air breaking was so loud that it made the ears of the soldiers miles away ache.
The tremendous noise attracted the attention of the troops stationed several kilometers away.
"Look! What's that?"
"My God, such a huge gorilla!"
"Get out of the way, that's the Mighty Vajra Ape!"
"Isn't that still a gorilla?"
"I told you it's the Mighty Vajra Ape. You fake soul master."
A few kilometers away, the two destructive attacks collided mid-air. The violent explosion created a shockwave that traveled miles, throwing the nearby army into disarray.
Fortunately, the three powerful individuals used their soul power shields to easily block the aftermath of the collision.
"Hahaha, what a thrill. You can take one punch from my Titan Giant Ape. Not bad."
Dai Qianyuan, now in a weakened state, had his left hand hanging limply by his shoulder. It was unclear if it had been dislocated or broken. Releasing two ninth Soul Skills in quick succession had depleted much of his soul power.
"Sir, why must you be our enemy? If you are willing to join the Xing Luo Empire, we would treat you as our national guardian beast."
"Hah? What national guardian beast? All meals, accommodation, and immortality included?"
Erming sneered at Dai Qianyuan's attempt at persuasion. Sometimes his head wasn't too sharp, but he wasn't foolish. Why would he leave the Soul Tower and come to Xing Luo to play the role of a so-called national guardian beast?
Feeling insulted even in his limited intelligence, Erming's expression turned even more ferocious.
"Enough with the nonsense. Since you're out of moves, you might as well die now."
"Million Ton Gravity Fist."
The Titan Giant Ape's massive body leaped into the air with a terrifying explosive force from its legs, and then it slammed a punch toward Dai Qianyuan below.
The terrifying force of the punch sent a gust of wind that made Dai Qianyuan's face ache. But he had no time to worry about that. The giant fist coming at him was something he couldn't handle at his current state.
The scenes of his more than a hundred years of life replayed in his mind. He seemed to have accepted his fate, though he wondered what kind of end Xing Luo would meet.
"Boom."
The entire land shook from the impact of the Titan Giant Ape's fist. Hundreds of thousands of soldiers, who had just gotten back on their feet, were thrown back by the aftershocks of the earthquake.
"Captain, didn't he just say he's the Titan Giant Ape? Not that Mighty Vajra Ape?"
"Idiot, is this really the time to be discussing that? We're facing disaster here."
The captain's forehead was dripping with cold sweat. He didn't think his soldiers could stop such a massive beast. This was beyond the power of mere human strength.
Fortunately, the giant beast mysteriously disappeared, as if it had never existed.
The aftershock subsided. Daming looked at Dai Qianyuan, now curled up on the ground in a strange position, and snorted in boredom. He then transformed back into human form and turned to Ah Bao with a provocative smile, as if saying, "Wasn't I awesome just now?"
Ah Bao didn't care to engage with him. Instead, he turned to Daming.
"Should we just break open the gates of Xing Luo and let the beast tide in?"
"I think it's unnecessary. Brother Ning Bei only wanted to pull back the border forces from Xing Luo. That's enough for now."
"Mm, that makes sense. If Brother really wanted to kill them all, he could just head to the capital of Xing Luo and release us. No need to waste all this effort."
Ah Bao nodded in agreement with Daming's assessment. The four of them then vanished from their spot and continued their journey to monitor the beast tide, ensuring that General Qiu´er didn't lead them astray.
After traveling for a while, Ning Bei finally arrived at the junction between Xing Luo and Tiandou. The Xing Luo camp appeared to be uneasy, as they had just received orders to abandon their current cities and rush back to the capital.
