Chapter 287: Unparalleled Skill: Overlord Horizontal Block

The Frost Giant Dragon's Frozen Breath, spewing from its mouth, was a cold breath that froze all things.

The strongest aspect of this move was the force of its energy impact, as well as its terrifying freezing power.

"Third Soul Skill, Berserk Golden Body!" Nan Feihuang activated his golden body, blocking in front of Lan Xue.

Within the three seconds of first activating the golden body, he was immune to all physical and energy attacks, and his constitution also made him immune to both ice and fire.

In other words, whether it was energy impact or elemental power, it was completely ineffective against Nan Feihuang at this moment.

After Nan Feihuang took the Frost Giant Dragon's move with his body, he was not only unscathed but also took the opportunity to launch a counterattack.

"Fifth Soul Skill, Divine Fire Raging!"

Dozens of giant fireballs swirled around Nan Feihuang; Feihuang pointed forward, and the fireballs, like a meteor shower, heavily bombarded the Frost Giant Dragon.

Fire overcomes ice; even though Nan Feihuang's cultivation was far behind the Frost Giant Dragon, it would certainly not feel good after a strike from a god-level martial soul combined with elemental suppression.

"Roar!" The Frost Giant Dragon let out a painful and angry roar.

Unfortunately, anger would not increase its power, nor could it alleviate its injuries; instead, it would cause it to lose its reason.

The enraged Frost Giant Dragon continuously spewed Frozen Breath, but such disorganized attacks could be easily dodged by both Nan Feihuang, who had mastered North Star Immortal Trace, and Lan Xue, who had reached the Super Douluo realm.

"Star Dance Swirl, Swing Qi Return Dream, Cold Rain Waterfall Pour!" Lan Xue unleashed three moves of the Heavenly Queen Halberd Technique in succession.

The first move, graceful and elegant, was as brilliant as the stars and as nimble as dance steps, used to confuse the enemy.

The second move, with a lofty halberd intent, was as distant as a dream and as majestic as Qi, used to control the enemy.

The third move, rushing down like a waterfall, had a momentum as continuous as cold rain, used to kill the enemy.

Unleashing all three moves at once was infinitely powerful, and Lan Xue had also applied the hidden force of the Azure Water Rushing Sky style to all of them; now, she only had to wait for the hidden force to erupt.

Feihuang had not expected that the full picture of the Heavenly Queen Halberd Technique created by his mother would be so exquisite.

Although the moves were not as overbearing as the Overlord Halberd Technique, nor as devious as the Ghost God Halberd Technique, they carried the four words "continuous and unending" to the extreme.

The transitions between the moves were perfect.

The only pity was that if Lan Xue were Level 95 now, the three moves just now would have inevitably beaten the Frost Giant Dragon to the brink of death; however, her comprehension of her martial soul had hit a bottleneck. In terms of soul power accumulation alone, having used two Immortal Herbs, she was already sufficient, but starting from Super Douluo, wanting to level up required not only soul power accumulation but also a breakthrough in realm and a deepening of the understanding of one's martial soul. Lan Xue had a knot in her heart, and for these past few years, she had been unable to achieve the unity of person and halberd; it was this point that trapped her level at the peak of Level 95.

Tang Hao was the complete opposite; his realm was sufficient, but his body was full of hidden injuries, which caused him to find it difficult to make any progress after his soul power reached Level 95, and thus he was also trapped at Level 95.

These two old rivals could be said to be tragically similar.

However, Lan Xue still had hope after all; after all, she had only reached Level 95 a few years ago. At the Super Douluo realm, for many Title Douluo, it took at least ten years to level up once, so not making progress for a few years was quite normal.

Furthermore, realm improvement was only one way to level up; a Spirit Master's level was, in the final analysis, the quantity of soul power. Since the realm could not be improved, then one should improve soul power endlessly, using a massive quantitative change to forcibly trigger a qualitative change; even if the realm was insufficient, one could still level up.

Wasn't that exactly the case for Tang San in the original story? His realm was indeed not weak, but to say he could reach the level of Level 99 from Level 93 in just a few months was also extremely difficult.

That was by relying on the spirit rings and soul bones of multiple high-level Spirit Beasts, and even the spirit ring and soul bone of the nearly million-year Spirit Beast, the Deep Sea Demon Whale King, which accumulated an unimaginably massive amount of soul power for him, relying on quantitative change to cause qualitative change, which allowed him to successfully break through his realm.

At worst, Nan Feihuang could just feed Lan Xue five more high-level soul bones in the future.

After the great battle had lasted for more than an hour, the Frost Giant Dragon's body became increasingly weak, and Lan Xue's hidden force began to erupt, ravaging its body.

With a bang, the Frost Giant Dragon's left dragon claw exploded, and flesh and blood flew everywhere.

The damage caused by the eruption of hidden force inside the body was definitely greater than that of overt force, because many Spirit Beasts only had strong physiques on the surface, while their internal organs were equally fragile.

Hidden force attacked the internal organs and blood vessels and meridians directly, so naturally, it was even more terrifying.

Actually, it would not have been so easy for Lan Xue to defeat this Frost Giant Dragon originally, but the two words "elemental suppression" were just that unreasonable.

This mother and son could be said to have suppressed it to its very roots.

No matter how close the Frost Giant Dragon's ice was to Extreme Ice, it had never truly reached the realm of the extreme; whenever Lan Xue's Extreme Ice appeared, its power would be suppressed by a portion.

Plus an ice-immune Nan Feihuang.

The mother and son, with the mother as the main attacker and the son as the main defender, a shameless gang-up, left it completely helpless.

"Huang'er, this Frost Giant Dragon's vitality has begun to drop rapidly; use your strongest attack to slay it," Lan Xue reminded him.

"I understand, Mother. First Soul Skill, Half-Moon Slash!"

The first spirit ring of the Fangtian Halberd lit up; if it were just the first soul skill, it was of course not Nan Feihuang's main goal. He had never thought of killing a 70,000-year Frost Giant Dragon by relying on Half-Moon Slash.

Instead, he attached the True Damage power of the Half-Moon Slash to the Fangtian Halberd to strengthen the power of his next strike.

Nan Feihuang simultaneously activated his golden body, bringing his combat power to its peak.

The next strike would be his strongest attack to date.

Nan Feihuang's hair fluttered in the wind, and his Killing God Domain expanded, but his Killing God Domain seemed slightly different from an ordinary one; besides the cold killing intent, there was also an aura that was overbearing to the extreme.

This was not inherent to the Killing God Domain, but rather something Nan Feihuang had integrated through practicing the Overlord Halberd Technique.

He had already fully mastered the Peerless Heavenless Palm, one of the three Peerless Skills of the Ghost God Halberd Technique.

However, he had never grasped the essence of the Earth Peerless Overlord Horizontal Block of the Overlord Halberd Technique. Today, after watching his mother perform the Heavenly Queen Halberd Technique, he had gained some insight.

After all, the Heavenly Queen Halberd Technique was created by drawing inspiration from the Overlord Halberd Technique, so there were always similarities.

He also knew the reason why he had never been able to perform the Overlord Halberd's Peerless Skill; although the Overlord Halberd had astonishing explosive power and could sweep away all opponents in front with one halberd strike.

But this did not mean its sustained attack power was weak. The true Overlord Halberd's offensive should be like the Cold Rain Waterfall Pour move in his mother's Heavenly Queen Halberd Technique; the offensive should be like ocean waves, continuous and unending, with a follow-through power even stronger than the explosive power.

"I understand now! Watch my Overlord Halberd Technique—Overlord Horizontal Block!" Nan Feihuang let out a roar, and the Fangtian Halberd swept straight across the front.

The overbearing edge of the Divine Halberd swept past, and everything within hundreds of meters was razed to the ground.

The edge swept into the Frost Giant Dragon's body; with Nan Feihuang's cultivation, theoretically, he could not blow it up with one halberd strike, but the halberd edge did not dissipate after sweeping into the Frost Giant Dragon.

Like a tidal wave, the follow-through power surged toward the Frost Giant Dragon wave after wave.

A few seconds later, the Frost Giant Dragon's body could no longer withstand the superimposed force of the Overlord Halberd, and its entire body exploded directly; a rain of blood began to fall over the Ice Lake.

"Overlord Horizontal Block, is this one of the three Peerless Skills of the Overlord Halberd Technique?" Lan Xue said, shocked. She had read the manual for the Overlord Halberd Technique and naturally knew about the three Peerless Skills.

She knew these three moves must be very powerful, but she hadn't expected them to be powerful to this extent.

One had to know that Overlord Horizontal Block was only the weakest of the three Peerless Skills of the Overlord Halberd, yet it had such power.

She didn't even dare to imagine the remaining two moves.
