LRAB 859. Strength Enhancement
859. Strength Enhancement
From Tang Qiying's hands, thousands upon thousands of powerful souls surged forth, accompanied by shrill and piercing howls, creating a truly terrifying scene.
These souls were distorted and blurry in form, vastly different from normal souls. Their eyes held no clarity, only intense and overwhelming resentment. Upon seeing the ruler-shaped figure, these souls became even more frenzied, charging forward without any fear of death.
A sky full of shadowy figures clashed with a completely crazed vengeful spirit, a battle of souls and fighting spirits!
The sheer ferocity of this kind of malevolent spirit indirectly demonstrates that the Soul Clan has indeed treated Tang Qiying well, and has not concealed any important methods from her.
Countless roars resounded, each impact accompanied by a blinding burst of energy light, and the phoenix's cry was accompanied by the resentful howl of the soul.
The impact of the mid-air collision continued to sweep towards Xiao Yan, but it did not move his body in the slightest. At this moment, Xiao Yan no longer cared about the explosions all around him. Not only did he remain motionless in mid-air, but he also closed his eyes, fully activating his soul perception to meticulously sense every inch of space!
Sure enough, two breaths later, Tang Qiying had already appeared to Xiao Yan's side. Tang Qiying's speed was so fast that it exceeded the limits of visual perception, and could only be judged by senses.
A pale black flame coalesced on the daggers in Tang Qiying's hands. The daggers sliced through the air silently, aiming for Xiao Yan's neck. Just as the daggers were about to strike, Xiao Yan opened his tightly closed eyes, and a seemingly insignificant burst of soul power shot out. The tiny needle was utterly insignificant in this level of intense battle, but often, it is precisely these seemingly insignificant things that are most deadly!
Heavenly Rank Soul Skill: Hidden Shadow Needle!
The distance was extremely close. Even though Tang Qiying had reached the Heavenly Realm Soul stage, he could only react at this moment and sense the aura of deadly danger. By the time Tang Qiying reacted, the Hidden Shadow Needle had already hit him!
Although Tang Qiying wanted to continue attacking Xiao Yan, the feeling of his soul almost exploding in his mind slowed his movements, and the trajectory of the dagger ultimately gave Xiao Yan a moment to react. Xiao Yan retreated like lightning, narrowly avoiding the dagger's cut.
Xiao Yan retreated several dozen feet; his risky tactic just now was indeed very dangerous.
Although Xiao Yan possessed the Three Thousand Thunder Illusion Body to transfer injuries, the neck was an extremely vulnerable area, and being hit there would be quite dangerous. However, Xiao Yan still chose to trust in the soul power he had painstakingly cultivated, but the effect of the Hidden Shadow Needles was even worse than he had anticipated.
As Xiao Yan retreated, he clearly saw that at the same time the Hidden Shadow Needle struck Tang Qiying, a very thin layer of light black flame appeared on his body. The flame flashed like a thin film and gathered on Tang Qiying's forehead in an instant, greatly blocking his Hidden Shadow Needle.
That was one of Huo Xuan's proudest self-created fighting techniques, which Huo Zhi had mentioned to himself.
Ruin Guardian!
chi chi-
However, the Hidden Shadow Needle was, after all, a Heavenly Realm Soul Skill, and given Xiao Yan's impeccable angle of release, it ultimately pierced through one point of the defense.
Although its power was greatly reduced, the Shadow Needle still pierced Tang Qiying's forehead slightly. About one-tenth to one-twelfth of its effect entered Tang Qiying's brain, causing him some trouble, but far from being fatal.
A thin line of blood slowly slid down from between Tang Qiying's eyebrows, like a winding red snake. Combined with Tang Qiying's unreserved gaze, it only accentuated his madness.
"Xiao Yan, not bad, you really do know how to surprise me."
Tang Qiying actually knew that Xiao Yan possessed an extremely mysterious soul skill, and had even strengthened his soul power. He just hadn't expected to fall for it despite his precautions. Although Xiao Yan's strength was inferior to his, he had managed to gain the upper hand through that risky attempt.
Xiao Yan's ferocity in battle is no less than that of Tang Qiying, which is why Xiao Yan has been able to repeatedly defeat opponents much stronger than himself even when he is at a disadvantage.
Although he constantly mocked Xiao Yan verbally, he valued Xiao Yan more than anyone else. Xiao Yan's risky attack made Tang Qiying realize that Xiao Yan was now many times more troublesome and difficult to deal with than before. He was clearly stronger than Xiao Yan in terms of raw power, yet Xiao Yan had made him suffer the first defeat.
"Let me show you my new tricks!" he roared suddenly, his hands flashing out a hand seal in front of his chest.
"Flame Clan Clan Mark, activate!"
The Emperor Flame Mark on Tang Qiying's forehead, which originally belonged to Huo Xuan, rapidly ignited, and a halo of extremely sacred light appeared around it, dazzlingly bright. Due to the high temperature of the Emperor Flame Mark, the blood on his forehead was directly evaporated and disappeared.
As his words fell, the Emperor Flame Mark on his forehead, which originally symbolized Huo Xuan's top-tier talent, suddenly erupted with dazzling light. The crimson-gold flame patterns instantly became incredibly bright, as if they had come alive. Immediately afterward, a halo radiating a sacred golden aura spread out from around the Emperor Flame Mark like a solar corona. The gloom on Tang Qiying's face had almost completely dissipated by this moment.
Nine-rank clan emblem!
This is the clan crest of the Yan Clan, and only the core disciples with the purest bloodline are qualified to possess and activate it.
A terrifying aura, far more powerful than before, erupted from Tang Qiying's body like a dormant volcano!
Tang Qiying's original aura was only at the level of a one-star Dou Sheng, but now that his clan mark has been opened, he has also reached the mid-stage of a one-star Dou Sheng!
Tang Qiying's aura was no longer the weakest Dou Sheng that Xiao Yan had ever encountered.
The aura of a Dou Sheng was genuine, accompanied by a devastatingly oppressive impact.
However, Tang Qiying had a clan mark, and Xiao Yan also had a secret technique belonging to the Xiao clan. Xiao Yan's hand seals changed one after another, his own strange fire changed one after another, and the flow of blood in his body accelerated continuously. After three consecutive increases in strength, Xiao Yan's aura also instantly surged to the peak of the half-saint level!
Seeing that his assassination attempt had failed, Xiao Yan understood that Tang Qiying was no longer the same person he once was. Whether by force or by chance, he was now a genuine Dou Sheng. And without any assistance, Xiao Yan faced an extremely high risk in dealing with a Dou Sheng alone.
Not to mention, Tang Qiying, who possesses Huo Xuan's body, also wields the Yan Clan's martial arts techniques, the Soul Clan's unpredictable techniques, and the formations he has cultivated for so many years. With these combined abilities, he is by no means a simple one-star Dou Sheng.
No matter how you look at it, Xiao Yan absolutely cannot lose!
