Chapter 107 The Crisis of Yelin City ( ) - Halley's Death
“No—how is this possible? You’re clearly just a Soul Master, how could this be?!” Harley said slowly.
Qian Yuhan stared at the annihilation dragon transformed from Harley without changing his expression, remaining silent.
Han Xue couldn't believe her eyes when she saw this. In all her years of teaching, this was the first time she had ever encountered a Soul Master who could withstand the sixth Soul Skill of a Soul Saint in his Martial Soul True Body state. This was something she had never heard of or seen before!
Not to mention Mu Chen, who was standing dumbfounded next to Han Xue. He felt his mind was a bit of a mess, preferring to believe it was an illusion rather than that Qian Yuhan could have resisted so easily.
"Director Han, I... I'm not seeing things, am I hallucinating?!"
Mu Chen stammered.
"Are you seeing things? I... I don't know what's wrong with Yu Han either."
……
A red 100,000-year soul ring, shining with dazzling light, slowly rose from beneath Qian Yuhan's feet.
"First Soul Skill: Asura Blood Slash!"
Qian Yuhan, his face grave, gripped the hilt of the Asura Demon Sword tightly with both hands. He took a deep breath, steadied himself, and his feet felt firmly planted on the ground. Then, he used his arms to pull the Asura Demon Sword to his side, slowly gathering his strength.
Just then, the red soul ring that had just appeared suddenly shone with dazzling light, like the bright stars in the night sky, turning into points of starlight that continuously flowed into the sharp blade of the Asura Demon Sword.
As the starlight poured in, a thick, blood-red sword aura, resembling blood plasma, instantly enveloped the Asura Demon Sword. This sword aura grew increasingly intense, like a sea of blood churning and roaring.
At the same time, the red light emanating from the sword became even more dazzling, like a burning red sun, scorching and violent.
The faint golden runes on the sword were now clearly visible, each rune shimmering with a mysterious golden light, as if containing endless power and mystery.
At this moment, Qian Yuhan was enveloped by a powerful aura, and the Asura Demon Sword in his hand exuded a chilling killing intent. This killing intent was so strong that the surrounding air seemed to be imprisoned by it, becoming heavy and oppressive.
The next moment, Qian Yuhan shouted and exerted force with both hands, pulling the Asura Demon Sword to pounce towards the ferocious and terrifying Annihilation Evil Dragon in mid-air with lightning speed.
With a loud "whoosh," the sword swept across the space like lightning, leaving a long afterimage in the air, a trail of red and yellow colors.
The space seemed to ripple with waves from this fierce attack, and even time seemed to stand still at that moment.
Immediately afterwards, a fierce slash carrying endless killing intent and a sense of annihilation roared out and rushed straight toward Harley.
This slash tore through the sky, and everything in its path seemed to lose its color, becoming dim and lifeless. It was like the light of judgment from the depths of hell, mercilessly tearing apart everything in its path.
"Damn it, I won't allow anyone to be more talented than me! Die!! Dark Demon Evil God Tiger Right Arm Soul Bone Skill: Dark Demon Evil Annihilation Break!"
In that instant, the right forepaw of the Annihilation Dragon seemed to be enveloped by a mysterious and powerful force, and purple light surged from its claw tip like a surging tide, instantly illuminating the entire battlefield.
Upon closer inspection, one could see that a faint phantom image of a tiger's claw, even thicker and more powerful than a dragon's claw, was appearing on Harley's right forepaw!
The enormous, phantom-like tiger paw exuded a chilling aura, as if it contained boundless destructive power. Harley solemnly raised his right forepaw slowly, each movement so steady and powerful, as if he were accumulating energy capable of destroying the world.
When he raised his right front paw to its highest point, he took a deep breath and then pulled back sharply, tensing all his muscles and putting all his strength into it.
Immediately afterwards, Harley swung its right forepaw without hesitation and slashed down hard at the "Asura Blood Slash" released by Qian Yuhan!
With this swing, the tiger claw phantom instantly tore through the void, leaving three shocking claw marks in the air. These claw marks ripped through the sky like lightning, carrying unparalleled power and speed, rushing straight towards "Asura Blood Slash".
It's important to know that Harley wasn't using his sixth soul skill, "Annihilation Dragon Breath," which he had released earlier, but rather his hidden right arm soul bone skill, "Dark Demon Evil Annihilation Break"!
This right arm bone was a precious gift given to Halley by the Chaos Cult when he became the youngest Soul Saint in the cult's history.
Harley's unwavering goal in life has always been to pursue powerful dark forces, and the soul bone bestowed upon him by the Chaos Cult is undoubtedly a high recognition of Harley's outstanding strength and amazing talent.
That's why they entrusted such an important soul bone to Harley, hoping that he could shoulder an even greater mission in the future.
Qian Yuhan's Asura Demon Sword strike seemed to contain some strange magic, actually making Harley feel that his life was threatened!
That's why I had no choice but to use this trump card skill. The best defense is offense. As a genius, I have the pride of a genius. I can't use defensive soul skills when facing an attack from an opponent weaker than myself. Moreover, it would be too embarrassing to talk about it when facing a little kid like Qian Yuhan!
Harley was precisely this kind of overly arrogant person, and he would eventually pay the price for his arrogance...
The two attacks were like two shooting stars, rushing straight towards each other at an astonishing speed, and then colliding with a loud crash in mid-air!
In an instant, light shone brightly, accompanied by a deafening roar. The powerful shockwave from the explosion caused the surrounding air to tremble violently.
Immediately afterwards, a massive energy storm formed between the two, as if it were about to devour the entire world.
This energy storm presents a strange and dazzling array of colors, with purple and red energies intertwining and colliding fiercely.
Each impact triggers dazzling energy waves, which spread wildly in all directions like surging ocean waves.
Wherever it went, the wind howled, like a raging storm, making people tremble with fear.
Qian Yuhan stood still, squinted, and turned her head slightly to avoid the blinding light.
He slowly raised his left hand, palm out, as if trying to resist the oncoming gust of energy. At the same time, his legs bent forward and backward into an arc, firmly rooted to the ground, his muscles tense, doing his best to resist the powerful impact.
Meanwhile, Harley quickly spread his enormous dragon wings, tightly wrapping them around his head to protect his vital parts.
However, despite the protection of the dragon wings, he was still unable to withstand the violent energy fluctuations. With a muffled "bang," Harley's body was struck as if by an invisible force, and he was sent flying backward, crashing into a small building on the side.
As the smoke cleared, Harley roared in frustration, "Roar!" and charged towards Qian Yuhan, intending to use his superior strength to tear Qian Yuhan apart head-on. He had been at a disadvantage for ten minutes, and he couldn't accept that. He realized that the simplest and most violent method was the least likely to go wrong.
The annihilating evil dragon flapped its wings, its goal clear: to tear this little brat to shreds!
Just then, a blinding red light flashed in Qian Yuhan's deep eyes. At the same time, the two already terrifying purple arms behind him began to grow larger at a visible speed.
As they continued to expand, the muscle lines on those purple arms became increasingly clear.
Upon closer inspection, one can even discern some mysterious and eerie black tattoo patterns faintly visible on these purple arms, exuding a chilling aura.
In the blink of an eye, the terrifying, annihilating evil dragon lunged at Qian Yuhan, baring its fangs and claws, and collided violently with the two enormous arms that stretched out from behind him.
However, shockingly, such a fierce and powerful impact failed to cause Qian Yuhan even the slightest harm.
On the contrary, the two most powerful front claws of the Annihilation Evil Dragon were now firmly held in place by the purple arm behind Qian Yuhan, as if they were being tightly clamped by iron pincers, and could no longer move forward even an inch.
Even so, the savage impact of the Annihilation Dragon was not to be underestimated. Qian Yuhan was forced back more than ten meters by the force of the attack. The cracks in the ground testified to the sheer power of the force.
Qian Yuhan steadied himself, his aura surging once more, and he said in a deep voice:
Third Soul Skill: Asura*Myriad Shadows—
Qian Yuhan's form transformed into a blood mist and dissipated...
Harley assumed that Qian Yuhan had used a soul skill but failed to withstand his close-range attack, turning into a blood mist and disappearing forever. Therefore, he ended his Martial Soul True Form state, reverting to human form, raised his head, and let out a sharp laugh:
"Hahahahaha-"
Harley then turned his attention to Han Xue, who was not far away.
"You bitch, you're the one who hurt me just now?! That kid is your student? Tsk tsk tsk, you think you have a chance of winning if you let your student fight me? Hahahaha, you're not bad looking, big boobs and slim waist, you've got the stuff. Promise to serve me well, and I'll let you live."
Han Xue remained silent, but Mu Chen, standing beside her, couldn't help but curse after hearing Harley's utter awful words:
"Pah! Who do you think you are, daring to speak? A Soul Saint needing to use a Martial Soul True Body? Tsk tsk tsk—"
Mu Chen knew how to provoke people, and he had long since seen that the black-robed madman in front of him was extremely arrogant, so he naturally knew how to anger him.
"You—fine, fine, very fine indeed. I'll wipe you out later, make your stance clear. Even if you're a Contra Master, compared to me and the Chaos Cult behind me, heh—"
At this moment, Han Xue laughed and said, "Kid, don't speak too soon. You haven't defeated my student yet." Then she gestured with her chin towards the air behind Harley.
Although she was annoyed by Harley's flirtatious remarks, she quickly dismissed them; he was just a clown.
"What…" Harley opened his mouth in astonishment, but before he could finish speaking, he suddenly felt a mysterious and powerful force lift him up, and he was suspended in mid-air without any support.
At the same time, Qian Yuhan slowly raised her left hand in the air, her finger pointing straight in the direction of Harley.
However, Qian Yuhan did not speak, but a shocking scene occurred—the blood-red chains wrapped around his left arm disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye, as if under some kind of command.
Before Harley could react to this sudden turn of events, he was horrified to find his hands and feet bound tightly by four ghostly red chains. These chains seemed to have a life of their own, binding his limbs so firmly that he could not move at all.
"Damn it—you bastard! What happened? How could this be?!"
Harley turned around angrily, glaring at Qian Yuhan in mid-air, cursing incessantly.
At the same time, he twisted his body desperately, swaying left and right, using all his strength to try to break free from this terrible restraint.
However, no matter how hard he struggled and exerted his strength, the four red chains remained unmoved, like an indestructible steel cage, trapping him firmly.
Gradually, an ominous premonition welled up in Harley's heart, filling him with panic. He stared wide-eyed at the seemingly frail figure before him, thinking to himself:
"Could it be... that this brat really intends to kill me? Hmph, does he even have the ability? That's just wishful thinking!"
Despite being filled with fear and resentment, Harley was helpless at that moment.
Fourth Soul Skill: Asura Annihilation!
Qian Yuhan raised the Divine Sword of Light in his right hand above his head. The sword emitted a blood-red beam of light that shot straight into the sky. The wind and clouds changed, and the clouds in the sky seemed to form a blood-red vortex, accompanied by red lightning.
Looking again, the Asura Demon Sword in Qian Yuhan's hand had disappeared. A booming sound came from the air, and a huge longsword slowly emerged from the blood cloud vortex in the sky. Wasn't this a giant version of the Asura Demon Sword in Qian Yuhan's hand? The sword was pointing at Harley, who was firmly restrained by the "Asura*Endless Shackles" on the ground.
Harley was now completely panicked, because a giant sword was hovering above his head, and who could withstand that kind of oppressive feeling?
"Boy, you, you let me go right now, or else—" Harley screamed hysterically at Qian Yuhan, but he didn't say a word of admitting defeat or admitting his mistake. On the contrary, he was quite aggressive.
Mu Chen shook his head as he watched this scene: "You reap what you sow!"
Han Xue shook her head without speaking, but thought to herself: This guy should be under 30 years old. His Soul Saint cultivation is indeed that of a genius. Alas, he's too arrogant, and to betray humanity during a time of crisis is truly pathetic.
"Lord Harley—"
Liu Zi also noticed the situation on Harley's side, but he was unable to go to his rescue.
Some of the Soul Masters from Squads 102 and 073 were mobilized here, and Gao Feng even came personally to control the Sixth Prince, who had the highest cultivation level, and the rest of the people Harley brought to launch the sneak attack.
The remaining people were either seriously injured and subdued, or killed on the spot.
The dark aura emanating from their bodies clearly evokes the image of "evil spirit masters," a group universally condemned by both gods and men.
They never expected that these kids they met at the Yelin Lantern Festival would be so powerful; a Soul Master was even able to react to a sneak attack from a Soul Sect member and a Soul King.
The giant sword in the air was ready, awaiting Qian Yuhan's command. Qian Yuhan slowly extended his right hand and pointed it at Harley—
"No, no, I don't believe it—"
The greatsword fell silently, then vanished, leaving only its skeletal remains...
Halley, a brilliant young genius of the Chaos Cult, died in Yelin.
……
In a remote, ancient black castle, Harley's life tablet also shattered...
......
......
The battle between Chiba and Harley ended, and Harley paid the ultimate price for his actions and extreme arrogance.
Originally, I wanted to have Qian Yuhan instantly kill Harley using the power of the Asura God, but I thought I'd write a bit more. It's enough that he could use even a sliver of the Asura God's power to boost his strength to the point where he could fight a Soul Saint and gain the upper hand. Also, I wanted to just showcase all four soul skills of Qian Yuhan's Asura Demon Sword Martial Soul directly. (Although they are all 100,000-year soul rings, the soul skills are so powerful that only one soul skill was generated. Is that okay, hehehe?)
The preview indicates that the Seventh Elder will be enraged upon learning of Harley's death and will immediately deploy the "Fallen Soul Annihilation Array" in Yelin City. The Seventh Elder, a Title Douluo, will appear and take action. How will they respond? Find out later!
Finally, a few words of encouragement for more updates and a "love-fueled" effort—thank you so much, brothers!!
