Chapter 496 - Chapter 496: The Iron Fist of Justice

Although Ye Xishui was a Limit Douluo, her Blood Soul Demonic Puppet martial soul specialized in long-range attacks and control over resentful spirits and souls. Among soul masters of the same level, her physical strength was far inferior to that of Body Douluo Du Bushi and Dragon Emperor Douluo Long Xiaoyao.

Not to mention, compared to Xu Zihuang, whose physical body had already reached the god level.

Moreover, Ye Xishui's control over spatial power was perfectly countered by Xu Zihuang, which was why she had ended up looking so wretched.

What Xu Zihuang currently lacked was only his soul power cultivation and the second soul core. Once he successfully condensed his second soul core and broke through to the Title Douluo realm, even without obtaining the ninth soul ring, he would be able to completely suppress Ye Xishui from all aspects in a head-on confrontation.

However, Ye Xishui was ultimately a powerhouse who had been famous for many years. After being slapped twice in succession by Xu Zihuang, she finally broke free from his control.

Her figure transformed into a streak of blood light once more, and in the next instant, she appeared a hundred meters away.

A clear red imprint was left on Ye Xishui's face, and fresh red blood overflowed from the corner of her mouth. She stared fixedly at Xu Zihuang opposite her, her expression exceptionally horrifying.

But before she could even catch her breath, Xu Zihuang, whose entire body was entwined with thunder light, flickered and arrived in front of her. His golden pupils were filled with an indifferent color, and the purple-gold thunder light surging on his right hand had condensed into a sharp light blade.

Thunder Light Source and Thunder Light Blade, both of these soul skills came from that Thunder Beast. Using them simultaneously produced complementary effects.

The violent thunder elements were completely restrained within Xu Zihuang's palm, without the slightest aura leaking out. Accompanying the horizontal sweep of his right hand, the sweeping purple-gold light even sliced open the space, leaving behind a pitch-black fine line that was difficult to heal for a long time, with faint specks of starlight visible within it.

In the Thunder Light Blade soul skill, he had fused spatial cutting power. Spatial cutting power was essentially achieved through a deeper level of control over spatial force. His Golden Pupil's martial soul inherently possessed time and space attributes, giving him a unique advantage in this regard.

Ever since breaking through to the eight-ring Soul Douluo realm and gaining further comprehension of the Golden Pupil martial soul's origin, Xu Zihuang had preliminarily mastered this spatial cutting power.

Just like the Bear Lord in the Great Star Dou Forest, who had also comprehended spatial cutting power and combined it with the innate soul skill Dark Gold Fear Claw of the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear lineage to create his signature technique, the Heaven Ripping Claw. This showed just how powerful spatial cutting power was.

If that Bear Lord could successfully condense a second soul core with the space attribute, he might truly be able to contend with the Beast God Di Tian.

The power of Xu Zihuang's Thunder Light Blade, fused with spatial cutting power, might not match the Bear Lord's Heaven Ripping Claw, but its special ultimate thunder attribute was even more effective at countering Ye Xishui's Blood Soul Demonic Puppet martial soul.

The Thunder Light Blade swept out, and countless purple-gold thunder arcs leaped within this space, causing large swaths of blood-colored light to melt away.

Ye Xishui, whose mental state was already abnormal, had almost lost her reason after suffering the humiliation of Xu Zihuang's slaps. She instinctively wanted to use spatial power to avoid Xu Zihuang's attack. However, she never expected that Xu Zihuang's control over spatial power was far stronger than hers; he instantly completed a counter-suppression and sealed off this area of space.

Xu Zihuang's Golden Pupil slightly contracted as he let out a cold laugh. He had foreseen all of Ye Xishui's reactions through the innate ability of his Golden Pupil martial soul's true body. This confrontation had been developing according to his expectations from the very beginning.

Faced with such a perilous situation, Ye Xishui finally regained a bit of her reason. At the critical moment, the six black and three red soul rings around her all shone brightly at the same time. Dense blood light erupted, engulfing her figure.

Xu Zihuang only felt as if his right hand had slashed into a light and fluffy cloud, with no sense of obstruction whatsoever.

From within that blood light, a sharp, shrill scream suddenly rang out.

"Ah—"

The blood light condensed and recombined into Ye Xishui's body, but on her cheek, there was now a hideous scar. This scar extended from her left cheek all the way to her right cheek.

Streams of blood slid down from the wound, destroying her once peerlessly beautiful appearance. The capital she had once been so proud of, the one that had seduced Long Xiaoyao and Mu En, was now gone without a trace.

All of this happened in the blink of an eye. Long Xiaoyao and Gu Lao had not even had time to react. Who could have imagined that Yu Tianhuang, who only had Soul Douluo cultivation, would be able to suppress and injure Ye Xishui, a Limit Douluo?

"Xishui!" Long Xiaoyao roared in agitation, but upon seeing Ye Xishui's disfigured face, he couldn't help but freeze. He was not someone who only cared about appearances, yet Ye Xishui's face had countless times stirred his heart and dreams when he was young, deeply moving him.

Ye Xishui seemed to realize something. She raised her hands and touched her cheeks. Seeing her palms covered in blood, she looked as if she had lost her soul. It was only when Long Xiaoyao anxiously called out beside her that a bit of color returned to her eyes.

"Xishui, are you alright?!"

"Don't come over! Don't look at me like this!" Ye Xishui hysterically released dense blood-colored soul power that was almost tangible, shaking Long Xiaoyao away. Then, covering her face with both hands, she turned her back to him.

Over the years, she could disregard her image and commit countless heinous acts, showing Long Xiaoyao her dark and ugly side without restraint. But she had an almost insane obsession with her own appearance.

What she hoped Long Xiaoyao would always see was her youthful appearance.

On the other side, Gu Lao timely arrived beside Xu Zihuang. His face showed lingering shock mixed with thick joy as he thought to himself inwardly.

"It seems I still underestimated Tianhuang's current strength."

Both sides confronted each other in the high sky like this. Below, the battle between the Body Sect elders and the Holy Spirit Cult's offerings had also entered its final stages.

Kong Deming had already led the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Legion in retreat. The evil soul masters of the Holy Spirit Cult naturally would not stay behind to fight head-on against the Body Sect and the powerhouses of the Heavenly Soul Empire. They were now covering each other as they prepared to withdraw from Heaven Dou City.

After simply assessing the current situation, Du Bushi did not stubbornly continue pursuing Kong Deming. He had not forgotten about Ye Xishui's presence. If Ye Xishui freed up her hands to launch lethal attacks on the Title Douluo elders who formed the backbone of their Body Sect, that would truly be a situation with no way to turn the tide.

The only thing that made Du Bushi feel relieved was that the most outstanding elites of the Body Sect's younger generation, such as Long Aotian, were all currently in Dragon City. Moreover, with Wei Na, the direct bloodline princess of the Heavenly Soul Empire's imperial family, still present, the Heavenly Soul Empire still held hope.

The urgent priority at the moment was to stabilize the situation in Heaven Dou City.

Therefore, Du Bushi ordered the Body Sect's Title Douluo elders to stop their pursuit and head toward Xu Zihuang's side.

High in the sky, several thousand meters up, Xu Zihuang looked at Ye Xishui's nauseating appearance, and an invisible anger seemed to surge in his heart.

Terrifying blood qi fluctuations swept out, and his body instantly transformed into a blazing gold-red color. At this moment, he no longer looked like a human, but rather like a god-like existence. Immediately after, a layer of light wheel suddenly lit up behind him.

Flawless Golden Body!

As soon as the Golden Body appeared, Xu Zihuang's entire aura seemed to surge upward without limit.

Long Xiaoyao's attention was completely on Ye Xishui. By the time he noticed the anomaly on this side, Xu Zihuang had already arrived in front of him. His dazzling, sun-like golden-red body completely ignored Long Xiaoyao's protective soul power and fiercely knocked him flying.

During the collision, Xu Zihuang's Flawless Golden Body even caused Long Xiaoyao's soul power within his body to show signs of collapsing.

"Hmm?!" Long Xiaoyao was both shocked and furious, but before he could respond, Xu Zihuang threw another punch straight at Ye Xishui's face.

"Old beast, your current appearance is truly disgusting!"

Xu Zihuang's gold-red fist sank deep into Ye Xishui's cheek. The surrounding space exploded layer by layer, resounding through the sky. With a single punch, he sent Ye Xishui flying a thousand meters away.
