Chapter 51: with translation of chapter title

Under the restriction of Long Jiaojiao's two soul skills, Du Gu Yan's poison mist could not advance even a bit. Meanwhile, the other two assault-system soul masters of the Mad Rhinoceros Battle Team also started moving; they did not go to support Kuangxi, Tie Chui, and Tie Ban, but instead charged toward the formation of the Royal Battle Team.

Because the poison mist was blown back by the strong hurricane, the two no longer had to worry about being poisoned, so they directly charged the Royal Battle Team's formation, breaking its offensive.

However, just as they had just charged toward the Royal Battle Team's formation, we saw Shi Mo and Shi Mo's two yellow soul rings light up instantly, and two huge dark-green shields flew toward their faces, their speed already not inferior to that of an assault-system soul master.

Moreover, the incoming shields were also spinning at high speed, and the powerful attacking force imparted by the high-speed rotation was not to be underestimated.

The two assault-system soul masters' martial souls were Giant Palm Tiger, and their soul power had already reached rank thirty-eight, while Shi Mo and Shi Mo's soul power were thirty-seven and thirty-six respectively, their soul power level being slightly inferior, but now that they were controlling the flying shields, it also made it difficult for the two assault-system soul masters to break through for a while.

Because these flying shields were like they had eyes, locking onto them relentlessly and occasionally launching attacks, the two's martial souls were Giant Palm Tiger, possessing strong attack power while their defense was also not lacking.

However, if they were not defending and got hit hard by that huge flying shield, it would certainly be unpleasant, so they had to fend off the shields' interference while attacking, and for a while they also felt somewhat troubled.

A Si Luo and the opposing assault-system soul master also directly faced off; both wanted to sneak attack the other's support-system soul master, but their soul power was equal, neither could gain the upper hand, and for a while they were locked in a stalemate.

Du Gu Yan watched his poison mist being blown back, but he felt no anxiety at all, because Gu Xuan had already anticipated this when arranging the tactics earlier.

Moreover, the opponent had to continuously release gales to prevent his poison mist from spreading, so no matter what, the opponent's soul power consumption was several times his own, and furthermore, the support-system soul master of the Mad Rhinoceros Battle Team was only rank thirty-five, while her soul power reached as high as thirty-eight.

Du Gu Yan himself only needed to use the poison mist to restrain Long Jiaojiao, preventing her from diverting attention to assist others, which was enough, because Gu Xuan had already planned everything.

On the Dou Hun Tai battlefield, the two opposing teams could be said to have orderly offense and defense, basically in a balance of strength, with neither side able to defeat the other in a short time, and the scene thus became peaceful for a while.

However, this balance was soon broken, and the one who broke it was naturally Gu Xuan.

Although he was facing two defense-system soul masters, the opponent's soul power was merely thirty-six rank, and even if the opponent was a pure defense-system soul master, he could still not suppress Gu Xuan.

Gu Xuan originally used his first and second soul skills; the first soul skill increased all attributes by twenty percent, while the second soul skill increased attack and strength by one hundred percent, and under the effect of the second soul skill, each of his attacks also carried a hint of armor-piercing property.

Even if the opponent kept defending, Gu Xuan only needed to continuously attack a single point to achieve breaking through the whole with a point.

Moreover, Gu Xuan also had Du Gu Yan's first and second soul skills granting a thirty percent boost to attack and speed, plus a fifty percent increase in defense and the elimination of pain.

Therefore, under Gu Xuan's fierce assault, Tie Chui's iron armor shield was actually torn open a gap by his fierce attack, and then under Gu Xuan's powerful strike, his iron armor shield shattered with a boom.

Because the martial soul shattered, Tie Chui spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, and the whole person immediately lost consciousness; for when the martial soul shattered, Gu Xuan's bone claw also struck his chest, the terrifying force plus the damage from the martial soul's shattering caused Tie Chui to lose consciousness and collapse instantly.

Moreover, this was also because Gu Xuan held back; after all, Gu Xuan's bone claw is a deadly weapon, and if he had not changed his thrust into a slap at the end, Tie Chui, lacking martial soul defense, might have been pierced straight through the chest.

Having suffered such severe injury, this kid might not be savable, and it's not just a simple faint like now.

After Tie Chui collapsed, Tie Ban beside him let out an angry roar: "Brother!"

Tie Chui and Tie Ban were originally biological brothers; earlier in the fight against Gu Xuan, Tie Chui had many times blocked Gu Xuan's attacks for Tie Ban, and now that Tie Chui was seriously injured and unconscious, Tie Ban was naturally anxious.

None of the few people currently fighting thought that Gu Xuan could break Tie Chui's defense, after all he is a pure defense-system Battle Soul Lord, all three of his soul skills are defensive skills, and logically his thirty-six rank strength should be enough to resist the attacks of most soul masters below rank forty.

But unexpectedly, he was defeated by Gu Xuan in just a few short minutes.

"Damn it!" Tie Ban shouted angrily, raising his shield and charging straight at Gu Xuan.

Gu Xuan smiled faintly; originally, Tie Chui and Tie Ban, under Long Jiaojiao's speed boost, were hard for Gu Xuan to lock onto, since besides defending against Gu Xuan's attacks they would also dodge. Now Tie Ban took the initiative to attack, Gu Xuan stood still without any movement, and when Tie Ban's distance to Gu Xuan was less than thirty centimeters, we saw Gu Xuan's body surface third purple soul ring light up.

"Third soul skill: Bone Dragon Purgatory!"

As the soul skill was released, bone swords rose from the ground one after another, directly lifting Tie Ban up; Tie Ban raised his shield and defended desperately, but the protruding bone swords were extremely hard and unusually sharp.

Tie Ban also only managed to hold on for less than five seconds before his defense was broken, and he fainted on the spot.

After consecutively dealing with the two defense-system soul masters, Gu Xuan turned his head to look at Long Jiaojiao; this girl was their biggest trouble, and as long as she was dealt with, Du Gu Yan's poison intrusion would come, and victory would basically be settled.

After defeating Tie Chui and Tie Ban, Gu Xuan stepped on the protruding bone swords and in a few steps arrived before Long Jiaojiao; Long Jiaojiao was instantly shocked and dismayed, and the other members of the Mad Rhinoceros Battle Team also noticed Gu Xuan's side.

When he defeated Tie Chui and Tie Ban, Kuangxi was already fuming; he never expected that he still hadn't taken down Yu Tianheng, yet Gu Xuan actually defeated two defense-system Battle Soul Lords? Gu Xuan is only rank thirty-three—what a monster! No wonder he's the man who defeated Feng Xiao Tian, whose soul power had already reached rank forty.

"Jiaojiao!" others shouted loudly.

Long Jiaojiao also instantly lit up her third purple soul ring, attempting to block Gu Xuan's assault.

"Third soul skill: Storm Blade!"

As Long Jiaojiao's third soul skill was released, atop the blossom of her Storm Flower martial soul condensed a three-bladed great sword with a diameter of one meter, which shot out at incredible speed toward Gu Xuan.

Gu Xuan, upon seeing this soul skill, was inwardly speechless: "There's even an attack soul skill?"

Support ability, control ability plus attack ability—one has to say, the Storm Flower martial soul is indeed not weak; although each of these three points alone is not outstanding among peers, their combination also has its unique merits.

However, her third soul skill's attack power was not considered strong against Gu Xuan; only see Gu Xuan's right-hand bone claw quietly turning into five sharp claws, exactly the External Soul Bone Dark Gold Terror Claw.

Only see Gu Xuan, while charging toward Long Jiaojiao, with a swing of his right hand directly split her third soul skill into six petals, easily dispelling Long Jiaojiao's third soul skill.

And the reason Gu Xuan was able to break Tie Chui's martial soul in a short time earlier was also because he secretly used the External Soul Bone, which allowed him to unleash such terrifying attack power.

Of course, others naturally could not notice it, because his second soul skill is also the Dark Gold Terror Claw, and after his bone claw turns dark gold, its color is basically identical to that of the External Soul Bone.

Having easily dispelled Long Jiaojiao's third soul skill, Gu Xuan, lunging forward to her front, extended his left hand and directly pinched her neck in his grip; only needing him to exert a little force, this pretty girl's neck would break.

Long Jiaojiao was now under control, she could no longer maintain her second soul skill, the gale also instantly retracted, Du Gu Yan increased his soul power output, and for a moment the poison mist surged again.

Gu Xuan's dark gray pupils fixed on Long Jiaojiao, his calm voice sounded: "You no longer have any chance."

Seeing this, Kuangxi also instantly felt drained; he had just wanted to come to their aid, but Yu Tianheng held him fast, and the assault-system soul master was also held by A Si Luo, leaving them unable to withdraw.

After all calculations, they still hadn't expected Gu Xuan's strength to be so terrifying, being able to defeat Tie Chui and Tie Ban consecutively in a short time.

Kuangxi heavily slammed his fist onto the ground, watching the poison mist surging toward them and Long Jiaojiao held by Gu Xuan, he let out a sigh and slowly said: "Mad Rhinoceros Battle Team, surrender!".

As Kuangxi surrendered, the host's excited voice rang out: "Royal Battle Team versus Mad Rhinoceros Battle Team, Royal Battle Team wins!".
