Chapter 221 The World-Shaking Thunder.
"Hmm?" The Fourth Elder grunted, the black mist dissipated, and his true form appeared in mid-air. Looking at the torrent of tiny fragments, a shrill scream rang out from the Netherworld Sword in his hand. A faint humanoid figure could be seen shattering instantly, and then the light on the Netherworld Sword became strange.
A blood-red longsword appeared around the Fourth Elder, and a terrifying blood light instantly erupted, directly crushing the fragments of the moon blade in the torrent.
The Fourth Elder's reaction was very fast, but it did not surprise Wu Xuan. With the strength of a Title Douluo, how could he be easily hit by the opponent's attack when facing him head-on? Not to mention that the two of them had a difference of nearly thirty levels in soul power.
Wu Xuan did not give the Fourth Elder any chance to breathe. His left hand was instantly covered with dense, crystalline pink scales.
"Ten Thousand Year Annihilation Dragon Claw Soul Skill - Annihilation Light!"
A pale pink flame lit up, and as Wu Xuan waved his hand forward, a crystalline pink light shot straight towards the Fourth Elder. The beam of light traversed a hundred meters in an instant, arriving before the Fourth Elder in the blink of an eye.
This speed was far beyond even the fastest level eight soul tool, the Extreme Speed Ray.
The Fourth Elder, who had been grieving the loss of his Netherworld Soul just moments before, no longer felt any pain. The blood-red longsword surrounding him passively protected its master, directly meeting Wu Xuan's annihilating light head-on.
The crystalline pink light instantly penetrated the blood-red longsword, which merely trembled briefly before falling silent. Just as the Fourth Elder thought this attack was nothing special, the blood-red longsword around him began to twist strangely, and in the next instant, it shattered, dissolving into nothingness right before his eyes.
"Pfft!" The Fourth Elder coughed up a mouthful of blood, his heart aching as if being torn apart! Because the moment the Blood Sword melted away, he could no longer sense its existence.
The Netherworld Soul could be replenished after being consumed, but once his Netherworld Nine Swords were lost, they were gone forever, no matter the cost.
"My Netherworld Blood Sword? What kind of attack is this that could completely destroy my Blood Sword!" The Fourth Elder, his mouth full of blood, stared at Wu Xuan, who had landed in the distance, his face contorted with rage.
"Hmph! A dying man has no right to ask questions." Wu Xuan sneered and thrust forward with his Soul-Breaking Spear.
"Very well! What an arrogant little beast! I will surely kill you today!" The Fourth Elder snorted angrily, and orange, yellow, and green lights shone brightly on the Netherworld Sword in succession. A series of shrill screams rang out, and three humanoid figures could be vaguely seen shattering instantly. Then, the light on the Netherworld Sword became strange and eerie.
The tri-colored sword light refracted, making everything seem illusory. Three longswords of different colors silently appeared, maintaining a parallel position to the Netherworld Sword in the Fourth Elder's hand.
The Soul-Shattering Spear, its silver light shining to its extreme, arrived rapidly. The Fourth Elder held the Netherworld Sword horizontally, and the Soul-Shattering Spear pierced through the four Netherworld Swords. But at that moment, the four Netherworld Swords suddenly converged, and a layer of intense black light burst forth between them.
"Clang!" The Soul-Shattering Spear trembled violently. The spear, which had already pierced more than halfway into the Netherworld Sword, did not emerge from the other end, nor did it pierce the Fourth Elder's chest.
The Fourth Elder stared at Wu Xuan, who had suddenly thrust forward, with a ferocious expression. "You damaged one of my Netherworld Blood Swords and wasted four of my Netherworld Souls! You little beast, even if I cut you into a thousand pieces, it would not quell my rage. I will definitely extract your soul and torment you for ten thousand years!"
Two eerie purple soul rings on the Netherworld Sword lit up simultaneously.
"Third Soul Skill, Netherworld Power!"
"Fourth Soul Skill, Netherworld Thousand Blades!"
A fierce, malevolent light erupted. The Netherworld Sword in the Fourth Elder's hand instantly magnified, transforming into countless sharp swords that rushed towards Wu Xuan, covering him in an instant.
The entire sky was filled with a chilling, malevolent light, as if he intended to destroy the entire space. This was the strength of a Title Douluo. Even after being bombarded by a series of level seven or eight self-destructing soul skills and caught off guard by Wu Xuan's Annihilation Light, he still managed to control the situation and instantly seize the initiative.
Seeing the approaching swords, Wu Xuan smiled eerily. The moment his blood-red second soul ring lit up, tiny crystals shimmering with a brilliant silver light condensed around him, forming a protective shield of light in the blink of an eye.
Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion's second soul ring skill, Mystic Crystal Protection!
"Boom boom boom boom boom boom…!"
Amidst the Fourth Elder's maniacal laughter, a torrent of countless swords engulfed the area where Wu Xuan stood.
"Wu Xuan~!" Ye Guyi, seeing this scene from afar, rushed back recklessly. It was all her fault for not heeding Wu Xuan's warning and going out to ambush evil soul masters. If it weren't for her, Wu Xuan wouldn't have been in such a dangerous situation, facing a titled Douluo evil soul master at his peak.
Ye Guyi hadn't even run halfway when a violent roar accompanied by a sudden burst of crystalline pink light erupted. The powerful explosion even created a small mushroom cloud. The next instant, the arrogant Fourth Elder was engulfed by a terrifying storm.
"Ten Thousand Year Annihilation Dragon Claw Soul Skill—Annihilation Storm!!"
Annihilation Storm is an area-of-effect attack soul skill. When it explodes, it generates a powerful shockwave. Against weaker opponents, contact with this shockwave will result in being torn apart by the energy. However, even against opponents capable of withstanding it, this powerful annihilation shockwave will significantly weaken their defense and soul power, greatly diminishing their strength.
"The left leg soul bone of the 50,000-year-old Netherworld Tiger King—Void!" The Fourth Elder revealed his trump card at this moment.
As the dust settled, Wu Xuan stood unharmed.
The Fourth Elder, however, had three of the Nine Netherworld Swords around him destroyed in Wu Xuan's annihilation storm, but he himself suffered little damage.
"Chirp!" Wu Xuan roared and suddenly leaped forward. With a thought, a strange wave of soul power emanated from Wu Xuan's left leg, its silver light shining brightly.
The left leg soul bone of the 400,000-year-old Silver Scale Griffin—Senlei Yaoshi!
A deep rumble suddenly resounded. The sky darkened, and the wind and clouds changed color.
Almost instantly, lightning danced around Wu Xuan, and clusters of pale, silver-glowing lightning balls rapidly condensed, their terrifying aura seemingly capable of destroying the forest behind the slope.
"This is unbelievable! A mere Soul Emperor has driven me to this state!" The Fourth Elder, leaning on the Netherworld Sword, was panting heavily, but he wasn't particularly disheveled. His left leg, gleaming with a ghostly light, revealed that he had unleashed his left leg soul bone skill.
"But this is the end!" The Fourth Elder's eyes hardened, and he raised the Netherworld Sword, his seventh soul ring flashing.
