Chapter 335: Nan Feihuang VS Bone Douluo

"Azure Silence Thunder!"

Nan Feihuang continued to trade blows with Gu Rong, simultaneously unleashing a soul skill; his right arm soul bone skill, Azure Silence Thunder, was a hundred-thousand-year soul skill with tyrannical power.

Realizing the danger, Gu Rong immediately abandoned the contest of strength with Nan Feihuang, his figure transforming into a mass of black mist as he rapidly withdrew from Nan Feihuang's attack range.

The reason he was called the Title Douluo with the most devious attacks was precisely because of this ability; by turning his body into black mist, formless and shadowless, he was elusive whether launching attacks or dodging an opponent's strikes.

It was a pity, however, that this was useless against Nan Feihuang.

"Mind Eye!" Nan Feihuang had already mastered the self-created soul skill taught to him by Guangling Douluo.

Especially the first step of observing with the eyes, he had entered the gate almost instantly, because his external spirit bone, the Ghost Howl Sky Pearl, had greatly enhanced his eyesight; observing an opponent with his eyes was far too simple for him.

Nan Feihuang's own cultivation realm was also high, and after mastering the first level, he quickly learned the second level: locking onto an opponent with the heart.

No matter how devious and hard to find the black mist Gu Rong transformed into was, it was still sensed with perfect clarity by Nan Feihuang.

Boom, a surging bolt of thunder transformed into a thunder dragon, chasing after Gu Rong to strike him.

Wherever the thunder passed, the land immediately turned into a wilderness where not a blade of grass grew, showing its extraordinary power; even Gu Rong did not want to take such an attack head-on.

"This is... soul skill locking!" Gu Rong had not expected that Nan Feihuang's strike would not only have immense power but also a locking effect; even for a hundred-thousand-year soul skill, this intensity seemed somewhat exaggerated.

But Gu Rong could not consider so much now; this strike was clearly impossible to dodge, and it seemed he could only resist it head-on.

Do not forget, besides being the Title Douluo with the most devious attacks, he was also number one in defense.

"Second Soul Skill, Bone Dragon Armor; Fourth Soul Skill, Bone Prison!" Gu Rong unleashed both soul skills at once. He struck the ground with one palm, and a massive bone forest rose up.

Countless bones transformed into shields, blocking the path of the thunder dragon's advance.

Bang, bang, bang sounds rang out; the thunder dragon completely ignored the bone forest, forcibly destroying the bones, but this Bone Prison also reduced a significant portion of the Azure Silence Thunder's power.

Ultimately, when the thunder dragon struck the Bone Dragon Armor on Gu Rong's body, although it shattered the armor, it also dissipated completely, failing to truly injure Gu Rong.

"Oh, worthy of being number one in defense, you blocked my hundred-thousand-year soul bone skill so easily. However, this was just a small demonstration; my strongest aspect is still my halberd technique. Take this, Gu Rong!" Nan Feihuang laughed heroically, not feeling the slightest bit of frustration that his attack was blocked; instead, he pressed forward even more courageously, raising his halberd to charge.

"This guy, he cannot be underestimated!" Gu Rong also put away his initial pride at this moment.

Although the two had only exchanged two moves, he discovered that this Nan Feihuang, whether in physical strength or the power of his soul skills, was completely inferior to no Title Douluo powerhouse when he unleashed them.

He could no longer treat him as a junior; if he underestimated his enemy, he might face defeat today. He had to treat him as a powerhouse and be on high alert.

"Come then, Flying General, First Soul Skill, Bone Dragon Thrust!"

With Gu Rong as the center, flying bones filled the sky, locking onto Nan Feihuang, and then descended rapidly like raindrops.

Although it was merely a First Soul Skill, when used with Gu Rong's cultivation as a Super Douluo, the power was still quite astonishing.

"Second Soul Skill, Eight Gates Golden Lock!"

Nan Feihuang pointed his Fangtian Halberd toward the sky.

Rest, Life, Injury, View, Death, Surprise, Open—the eight gates appeared in the air, and all the bones flown out by Bone Douluo were brought to a standstill.

If Feihuang wanted to freeze Gu Rong himself, the gap in cultivation was too large, and he could not do it, but if it were just to freeze these bones, it was far too easy.

Feihuang was very decisive in battle and could not be bothered to waste any more breath with the opponent. After freezing the opponent's attack, he immediately counterattacked. Since the one who strikes first gains the advantage, he started with the second form of the Overlord Halberd Technique: Slaughter God Shatter.

Bone Douluo stood in place with his arms crossed, but his Bone Dragon martial soul flicked its bone tail, meeting Feihuang's long halberd.

After one collision, both were shaken apart, evenly matched.

Gu Rong knew he had underestimated this youth again. For that tail strike just now, he had used ninety percent of his power. Nan Feihuang's soul power was indeed far less profound than his own, but his physique was stronger than his.

Gu Rong deduced that Nan Feihuang must possess a great many soul bones, among which at least one was at the ten-thousand-year level. As for himself, although he was a guardian Douluo of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, he did not have a full set of soul bones like Tang Hao, possessing only two high-grade soul bones bestowed by the sect.

In fact, if he wanted a full set of soul bones, being in the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect would not have been difficult, but at his level of cultivation, ordinary soul bones provided little improvement to his strength.

Therefore, he preferred to have nothing rather than settle for less, choosing to leave the slots on his body empty rather than absorbing those inferior soul bones.

In reality, Nan Feihuang had not used his full strength in that last halberd strike either; it was just a probe. Bone Douluo's guess was correct, but unfortunately not entirely correct—it was not that Feihuang had at least one ten-thousand-year level soul bone, but that all five soul bones on his body had reached the ten-thousand-year level.

With such a physique, even a Super Douluo could not compare to him.

Therefore, Nan Feihuang stabilized his retreating figure faster than Bone Douluo.

While Gu Rong was still retreating, Nan Feihuang was already charging toward him again.

"Fourth Form: Demon-Subduing Wild Dance!" Feihuang struck with his halberd like the wind, unleashing dozens of strikes within a single second.

"What?" Gu Rong cried out in shock; Nan Feihuang's speed of gathering soul power was simply too fast, let alone compared to him, it was even faster than the old Sword Sect master in his prime.

I fear that even a level 97 or 98 Title Douluo might not necessarily match his speed of condensing soul power.

What kind of Meditation Method was he practicing for its quality to be so high?

However, Gu Rong was, after all, a Super Douluo of both the Agility Attack and Defense systems.

In an instant, he not only dodged all of Feihuang's thrusts but also grabbed the shaft of the halberd with a backhand, slamming him toward the ground.

"Soul Bone Skill, Teleportation!" Feihuang also had many auxiliary skills; devious teleportation soul skills were never the exclusive patent of Bone Douluo.

Feihuang performed a beautiful backflip, appearing directly above Bone Douluo. "Fifth Form: Ghost-Slaying World!"

A form in the Overlord Halberd Technique with extremely high attack power, belonging to a halberd technique that descends from the sky; it was fast, and the offensive was swift and unparalleled.

"Soul Bone Skill, Tyrant Body!"

Gu Rong activated a soul bone skill he rarely used; it turned out that among the two soul bones on his entire body, one of them was actually the most precious Torso Bone.

Judging by the name of the soul skill, it was likely derived from some kind of Spirit Beast similar to a Tyrant Dragon.

Dragon-type soul bones, as long as the age was high enough, had always been considered top-tier soul bones.

Gu Rong knew that it was too late to dodge this move from Nan Feihuang, so he could only cross his arms to defend after activating the soul bone skill.

Feihuang pressed his halberd down onto Gu Rong's arms.

With the two as the center, the earth was instantly pressed into a giant circular pit with a diameter of several hundred meters.

Feihuang's power was completely blocked by Gu Rong's soul bone skill, but Gu Rong was also shaken to the point where his internal organs felt intense pain, and blood seeped from the corners of his mouth.

Before he came, he would never have imagined that in his battle with Nan Feihuang, the first person to be injured would actually be himself.

Bone Douluo praised with a ferocious expression, "Heh heh, good halberd technique, truly a fierce assault. If your opponent were not this old man, and instead an ordinary Title Douluo below level 95, the opponent would likely have already been defeated."

Nan Feihuang remained expressionless, not caring in the slightest about Gu Rong's praise. "No need to flatter me, Gu Rong. In today's battle, we shall decide both victory and life or death. Do not think that because you are a senior, I will show mercy. If you want to kill me, you must pay the price with your life. I have not finished using this set of Overlord Halberd Technique yet; please continue to critique it!"
