Chapter 176: The Final Strike, Bone Transformation Divine Dragon [Seeking Follow-up Reads]

This is the power of a soul bone skill; every soul bone skill can be unleashed instantly, unlike the soul skills granted by a Spirit Ring.

Coupled with the fact that Gu Rong had no idea what soul bones Lin Yu possessed or what their skills were, this kind of battle where the opponent's strength is unknown put Gu Rong at a great disadvantage.

"Gu Rong, I know your power like the back of my hand, while you know nothing of mine."

"After fighting until now, you should understand that in today's battle, you are by no means my match."

"Even a level 95 Title Douluo, I, Lin Yu, can still execute." In the sky, Lin Yu looked like an invincible existence, looking down at Gu Rong lying on the ground.

"Damn it!"

Gu Rong struggled to stand up from the ground, his face ferocious, staring viciously at the monstrous youth in the sky; in truth, he understood that there was a high probability he could no longer defeat Lin Yu.

But there was not a hint of retreat on his face: "Even if I, Gu Rong, have to go to hell, I will drag you down with me!!"

"Sixth soul skill, Bone Dragon Void Underworld Array!"

"Sixth soul skill, Angel Titan Shield!"

Lin Yu activated his defensive skill, blocking Gu Rong's strike once again; Gu Rong immediately shot into the sky, his eyes already filled with the intent to perish together with Lin Yu.

"Eighth soul skill, Space Gate!!"

"Die!"

Gu Rong began to traverse space, attacking Lin Yu frantically, fighting in a crazed manner where he was willing to be wounded by Lin Yu just to land a blow on him.

"Ahhhhh!"

Gu Rong's attacks were wild and fierce, constantly shuttling through the sky, attacking incessantly.

Under Gu Rong's suicidal fighting style, it was impossible for Lin Yu to remain unscathed; both sides were constantly bleeding from their wounds.

The two fought fiercely for another full half hour.

This battle had already been raging for a full hour.

Gu Rong was already covered in cuts and bruises, and Lin Yu also had multiple wounds on his body; although he had absolute certainty of killing Gu Rong, with his current strength, he could not yet say he was completely crushing a powerhouse of this level.

This battle was destined to be one that required going all out to win.

It was also the strongest opponent Lin Yu had encountered to date!

It was also the most exhilarating and intense battle he had fought in all these years!

This feeling of a evenly matched, crazed slaughter made Lin Yu's blood begin to boil, his emotions becoming increasingly agitated, which invisibly made Lin Yu's fighting even stronger!

"Urghhh!" Gu Rong roared crazily, throwing a fierce punch.

Lin Yu did not show weakness, throwing a punch back with equal force.

Bang! Boom!

"Get lost!!"

Gu Rong was once again blasted to the ground by Lin Yu.

"Go to hell!"

Lin Yu instantly threw the Angel Evil Thunder Sword, piercing toward Gu Rong, who was heading for the ground.

Gu Rong's body struck the ground, and he hurriedly stretched out his hands, releasing a soul skill to block the incoming Angel Evil Thunder Sword; Lin Yu immediately descended from the sky, kicking down onto the hilt of the sword.

Lin Yu was above, Gu Rong was below, and the Angel Evil Thunder Sword was in the middle, with the blade pointing directly at Gu Rong's chest.

The two sides were locked in a stalemate of power.

"Ahhhhh!" Both were exerting their full strength, but the Angel Evil Thunder Sword was steadily drawing closer to Gu Rong's chest.

Two meters!

One meter!

Both sides were still locked in a stalemate, but if it continued, the Angel Evil Thunder Sword would sooner or later pierce Gu Rong's chest.

Gu Rong understood that if the stalemate continued, he would soon be pierced through the heart by the sword and die.

So, with a ruthless expression, he immediately withdrew part of his power and poured all his strength into changing the angle and direction of the Angel Evil Thunder Sword's thrust.

The next second.

The Evil Thunder Sword fell instantly, directly severing Gu Rong's right arm.

Splat~!

But at the same time, Gu Rong also threw a punch at Lin Yu's chest!

Bang!

Lin Yu was sent flying dozens of meters by Gu Rong's punch, blood slowly trickling from the corner of his mouth.

Gu Rong had resolved the deadly situation at the cost of a severed arm and had heavily wounded Lin Yu.

"Hahaha! You brat Lin Yu! No matter how strong your strength is, you are ultimately just a level 79 Soul Saint. After this battle, your soul power must be nearly exhausted!"

Gu Rong stood up again, covered in wounds, clutching his bleeding severed arm, and burst into loud laughter.

"Heh." Lin Yu sneered, raising his arm to slowly wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth: "My soul power is indeed running low, but you, who have been heavily wounded and even lost an arm, don't tell me you think you can still defeat me?"

"Hahaha! When I, Gu Rong, shook the Dalu, you brat Lin Yu hadn't even been born yet!"

"Have you ever witnessed my Ninth Soul Skill!!"

"Brat Lin Yu, if you were in your prime, I wouldn't dare guarantee that I could kill you with my Ninth Soul Skill, but now you are also suffering from injuries and have consumed a massive amount of soul power, your state having greatly declined."

"Let's see how you can block my Ninth Soul Skill now!!"

"Brat Lin Yu, I want you to be buried with the Sect Master and all the disciples of our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect who died!!"

"Ninth Soul Skill, Bone Transformation Divine Dragon!!"

The Ninth Soul Ring rose beneath Gu Rong's feet; he had finally activated his strongest skill, carrying the confidence that he would surely kill Lin Yu.

The reason Gu Rong had waited until now to use his Ninth Soul Skill was to wait for the battle to reach a white-hot stage, where Lin Yu's state had declined, his soul power was heavily depleted, and he was simultaneously injured.

At the same time, the earlier part of the battle was him learning Lin Yu's capabilities, determining whether he had any skills that could defend against his Ninth Soul Skill.

Because Gu Rong knew that his Ninth Soul Skill was his only trump card for a counter-kill, he was extremely cautious and had kept this skill held back, not daring to use it lightly.

Having fought until now, Bone Douluo could already be certain that Lin Yu likely had no further defensive skills; as long as there were no more powerful defensive skills, regardless of whether Lin Yu still possessed other powerful offensive skills, it would be impossible to block his Ninth Soul Skill.

But Bone Douluo did not know that Lin Yu was also holding onto a soul bone skill that he had not yet used, which was Invincible Golden Body.

Even when he was heavily injured by Bone Douluo's punch just now, Lin Yu did not use Invincible Golden Body, precisely because he was saving it to deal with Bone Douluo's Ninth Soul Skill.

Bone Douluo's Ninth Soul Skill had fierce power, though it was not considered extremely strong; the strength of this move lay in the fact that while it possessed significant lethality, it also had terrifying defensive power.

In the original work, it had once taken Bibi Dong's hundred-thousand-year soul skill, Space Rending Abyss Slash, head-on.

Space Rending Abyss Slash was Bibi Dong's Ninth Soul Skill and one of her strongest offensive soul skills.

Since Bone Douluo, with Level 95 soul power, could rely on his Ninth Soul Skill to withstand the attack of Level 99 Bibi Dong's Ninth Soul Skill head-on, one could see how fierce the defensive power of this move of Bone Douluo's was.

Therefore, for Lin Yu, who only had Level 79 soul power, no matter how fierce his offensive skills were, they could not possibly be as fierce as the level of Bibi Dong's Space Rending Abyss Slash.

And if the power could not crush Bone Transformation Divine Dragon, then the destructive power possessed by Bone Transformation Divine Dragon, while not considered too strong, had a high possibility of killing Lin Yu, whose state and strength had greatly declined after the great battle.
