Chapter 271: Prince Xue Xing Arrives Early with People

Snake Spear Douluo turned one into nine, and the nine figures attacked Yang Wudi in unison.

Yang Wudi's spear, filled with a tragic and fierce aura, forcibly compelled the nine light images conjured by that Snake Spear Douluo to merge back into one.

The cyan-purple Snake Spear could only strike head-on against Yang Wudi's Soul-Breaking Spear.

"Hah!"

At the moment the Soul-Breaking Spear and the Snake Spear made contact, Yang Wudi suddenly shouted, and his First Soul Skill lit up simultaneously.

"Shake!"

The slightly trembling spear tip struck exactly at the center of the fork in the Snake Spear's head.

The two soul skills, "Pierce" and "Break," erupted with full force under the injection of Yang Wudi's purely offensive soul power.

At the same time, the white light of the Killing Domain released by Tang San suddenly surged.

It condensed completely from Yang Wudi's body onto his spear.

Ding!

Hum!

Two different sounds rang out one after another.

The first sound was the vibration produced after the long spear and the long spear collided.

The second sound was the trembling of the Snake Spear.

Whether it was Xue Qinghe, Pufferfish Douluo, or Snake Spear Douluo himself,

before this battle began,

no one had expected such a situation to occur before their eyes.

Amidst a muffled groan, Snake Spear Douluo flew backward, the Snake Spear in his hand nearly slipping from his grip due to the violent trembling, his entire upper body leaning backward as he spat out a mouthful of fresh blood.

He retreated all the way to Xue Qinghe's side before he could steady his stance.

His complexion, however, had turned deathly pale.

He had actually suffered a not-insignificant injury under that single strike from Yang Wudi.

Underestimating Yang Wudi was his greatest mistake.

He never imagined that a Spirit Douluo, who had a fundamental gap in rank from himself, could thrust such a spear.

Even more deceptive was that the soul skills attached to Yang Wudi's spear were merely his first and third soul skills.

And he had already released the Snake Spear's third soul skill when they collided, yet the result remained the same.

How could this Snake Spear Douluo know that Yang Wudi, as the patriarch of the Break Clan, had spent his entire life researching how to make his attack power the strongest?

Comparing attack power with him, even a Title Douluo would suffer.

What's more, at this moment, Yang Wudi was not only displaying his own abilities; he was also within Tang San's Killing Domain.

The Killing Domain was originally meant to strengthen one's own attack power.

When the Killing Domain merged with Yang Wudi's fierce assault,

it was bound to produce a qualitative change.

The combat style of Yang Wudi's martial soul prioritized momentum—a momentum of pressing forward without retreat and pure attack power.

And the Killing God Domain complemented his momentum and attack enhancement perfectly.

The massive killing intent rose and spread through Yang Wudi's heart, instantly causing his attack power to reach an unprecedented height.

Even among Title Douluo, only Sword Douluo Chen Xin and those possessing a solid Title Douluo martial soul like the Clear Sky Hammer were qualified to compare their attack power with his head-on.

Yang Wudi's true attack power lay in the Soul-Breaking Spear; while soul skill augmentation was important, his reliance on soul skills was much smaller compared to ordinary Spirit Masters.

That was why Snake Spear Douluo suffered a great loss the moment they collided.

Xue Qinghe's expression suddenly turned ugly, his brows slightly furrowed.

A layer of cyan energy also appeared on Snake Spear Douluo's pale face; those familiar with him knew that this Title Douluo was truly enraged.

Yang Wudi's movements did not stop; having shaken back Snake Spear Douluo with one strike, he turned his body in place, stomped his right foot heavily on the ground, and with a shake of the Soul-Breaking Spear, he had already turned to face Pufferfish Douluo.

Borrowing the momentum from shaking back Snake Spear Douluo,

the momentum on Yang Wudi's body grew even stronger. His combat style was to become braver the more he fought, especially when he remained in the upper hand, as his attack power would only continue to rise.

Although Tang San had said to hold the line, for a purely offensive Spirit Master like him, attack was the best defense.

What is defense?

Killing all the opponents is defense!

Pufferfish Douluo watched in disbelief as Snake Spear Douluo was shaken back by Yang Wudi's spear,

and then another spear strike came thrusting toward him.

Pufferfish Douluo's body swelled up violently; he wanted to see just how strong this little Spirit Douluo was.

Yang Wudi's offensiveness remained just as terrifying; the Soul-Breaking Spear did not pause in the slightest.

He merged his body and spear into one, his Fifth Soul Ring lit up, black flames covered his entire body, and he pointed his toes to the ground.

He thrust out with his spear.

Pufferfish Douluo's body was instantly pierced with a hole, rapidly shrinking back.

But in the next second, Pufferfish Douluo's Fifth Soul Ring flashed.

Hundreds of poisonous spikes on his body shot out violently,

heading straight for Yang Wudi.

Yang Wudi's flaw was immediately revealed; as a purely offensive Spirit Master, he appeared lacking in adaptability when facing such varied means of attack.

He had no intention of retreating either; the black flames on his body simply became more intense, raising his own attack power to an even more terrifying degree. Attacking to counter an attack was his best choice in this situation.

He would rather suffer injuries himself than fail to land his own attack on the opponent.

Dozens of spikes pierced into Yang Wudi's body with a swish-swish-swish sound.

Black flames spewed forth, and the Soul-Breaking Spear, with Yang Wudi's momentum reaching its peak, thrust straight into the center; all of his fierce momentum was poured into this single strike.

No matter what, the attack of the Soul-Breaking Spear did not change in the slightest, reaching an extreme of tragic intensity.

There was only one word: Kill!

Another spear thrust out, and Pufferfish Douluo's body was directly pierced through.

A mouthful of blood sprayed out, and the color instantly drained from his face.

He was directly heavily wounded by Yang Wudi.

Xue Qinghe supported Pufferfish Douluo as he stood up.

"What powerful attack power!"

Yang Wudi was also heavily wounded; Pufferfish Douluo's spikes not only possessed powerful piercing capabilities but also carried potent poison.

However, Yang Wudi was highly skilled in medicine; he casually tossed a few pills into his mouth, and the toxins were neutralized in the blink of an eye.

"So something really did happen?"

Upon seeing the signal flare released by Tang San, Prince Xue Xing immediately led his men, who had long been prepared, to launch an attack on the Imperial Palace.

Qian Renxue had preparations, and he naturally had his own as well.

Tang Sect disciples, along with his personal guards, arrived on the scene rapidly.

It was far, far faster than the speed in the original plot.

"Kill!"

"Charge in!"

"Execute the rebels and save His Majesty!"

Prince Xue Xing shouted loudly, followed immediately by a volley from the Zhuge Divine Crossbows.

One could only hear the sound of mechanisms clicking incessantly, and a large swath of the Spirit Masters under Qian Renxue fell instantly.

"To think they arrived so quickly!"

Qian Renxue was also astonished at this moment.

"All-out attack!"

Those Spirit Masters who had been defending the Imperial Palace instantly charged outward to fight.

Inside the Imperial Palace, only Tang San and a few others remained.

Holding a Zhuge Divine Crossbow, Xue Beng finally found an opportunity at the critical moment.

With a bang, the crossbow bolt shot toward Xue Qinghe.

If he could shoot his own elder brother to death today, then everything would be settled.
