Chapter 182: Collision of Power: Yang Xiong vs Demon Bear Douluo

After Yang Xiong and Demon Bear Douluo exchanged a few consecutive attacks, their muscles seemed about to be flattened.

Yang Xiong gritted his teeth, his Fourth Soul Ring flashed, and he immediately activated his Fourth Soul Skill: Dragon Elephant Sturdy Body.

Normally, using two amplification soul skills simultaneously consumes an enormous amount of soul power; when Yang Xiong dared to fight Hu Yanzhen and activated two amplification soul skills, it was because the situation was very safe, and Yang Xiong was very confident in Yang Wudi.

But now it was an extremely dangerous moment; not only were countless men in black surrounding them, but no one would come to aid them.

After Yang Xiong used Dragon Elephant Sturdy Body, the muscles and bones throughout his body seemed to harden, and even each drop of blood began to boil.

At the same time, multiple beams of light surged within Yang Xiong's body; when he turned around, it was Ning Fengzhi using the Eight Treasures Glazed Pagoda to assist him.

Yang Xiong's confidence surged instantly; when he again collided spears with Demon Bear Douluo, Demon Bear Douluo was forced to retreat for the first time, and the battle between them began to gradually even out, with Yang Xiong no longer at such a disadvantage.

Of course, in this fight, the Killing God Domain was the truly decisive factor.

Under the shroud of the Killing God Domain, even though Demon Bear Douluo is a Title Douluo, his soul power was somewhat suppressed, while Yang Xiong's attack power received a certain boost within the Killing God Domain.

The two fought fiercely, and all of Yang Xiong's thoughts seemed immersed in the battle, adopting a completely desperate stance and a stance of absolute refusal to lose.

If the rest of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect was filled with the sounds of slaughter, then Yang Xiong and Demon Bear Douluo were a pure collision of power.

With each strike from both sides, the ground seemed to crack slightly, and the boundless momentum forced the surrounding crowd to disperse.

As the fight continued, Demon Bear Douluo grew unusually angry, embarrassed that a child from the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect had managed to entangle him.

Demon Bear Douluo let out a roar, his Second Soul Ring flashed, and his hands instantly transformed into bear claws, the attack seemingly gaining a certain boost—his Second Soul Skill: Furious Ripping.

When Demon Bear Douluo's claw struck, Yang Xiong's Xuanming Armor seemed to take a heavy blow, countless cracks appearing on it, demonstrating the move's ability to breach enemy defenses and its extremely strong tearing effect.

Undeterred by the impact on his body, Yang Xiong turned his hands into dragon claws and also grabbed at Demon Bear Douluo; at that instant, the twin claws enlarged, looking far more terrifying than before.

This is Yang Xiong's Ice Fire Dragon Claw External Soul Bone skill: Explosion Dragon Claw; over the years, the Ice Fire Dragon Claw's External Soul Bone has evolved beyond the 30,000-year tier, and the twin claws each possess ice and fire power, making the potency considerably greater.

Yang Xiong gave his all in a strike, directly breaking through Demon Bear Douluo's attack and forcibly gripping Demon Bear Douluo's forearms.

【9】 Even with Demon Bear Douluo's formidable strength and defense, he was still badly wounded; two fierce claw marks appeared on his hands, one scar glowing fiery red, the other icy blue, the two auras seeming like bone‑gnawing maggots ramming into his body.

Even with the formidable strength and defense of a Demon Bear Douluo, his whole body was still badly injured; on both hands appeared two ferocious claw marks, one scar was fire‑red, the other was icy‑blue, and the two auras seemed like bone‑clinging maggots battering his body.

This was the first time Yang Xiong had injured Demon Bear Douluo, achieved purely through raw power and attack.

Demon Bear Douluo instantly enraged, immediately activated his First Soul Skill: Demon Bear Strength, his entire skin hardening to a brownish hue, with his strength and defense markedly boosted.

But Yang Xiong was not deterred at all, desperately colliding punches and claws with Demon Bear Douluo.

At this moment, Yang Xiong seemed to have forgotten the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect's war, forgotten the surrounding slaughter, acting like an angry beast, continuously contending with Demon Bear Douluo.

In just a few minutes, the two exchanged countless attacks, both bodies riddled with wounds; even the once‑arrogant Demon Bear Douluo seemed to have endured innumerable heavy blows.

By contrast, Yang Xiong fared far worse: his Xuanming Armor was completely shattered, only his ribs still protected by the armor; several claws of his Ice Fire Dragon Claw were broken, and the dragon scales covering his hands had turned to fragments.

Especially, Yang Xiong's body was covered with countless wounds, as if every muscle had been severely damaged, and countless bones had fractured.

Seeing that the duel seemed set to continue, Yang Xiong immediately activated his Second Soul Skill: Golden Heart, a special energy surged through his entire body, and even the Blue Silver Emperor Wheel Hub in his right leg transmitted endless life force; under the influence of the two forces, the broken bones and wounds healed rapidly.

Demon Bear Douluo now displayed his brutishness: "You brat, you have many tricks, but in the face of absolute power, your tricks amount to nothing."

"I only used two low‑level soul skills, and you're already struggling; now I'll let you see true strength."

Demon Bear Douluo's soul power is level 95, his martial soul is Blood Demon Mad Bear, a pure Power Type Soul Grandmaster, with very good attack, defense, and burst power.

In terms of the Blood Demon Mad Bear's attributes, it resembles Zhao Wuji's Vajra Bear, but seems even more ferocious and blood‑thirsty than Zhao Wuji's.

Especially regarding offense, each of Demon Bear Douluo's soul skills seems even more oriented toward attack power.

Moreover, as the battle progressed, Yang Xiong noticed Demon Bear Douluo becoming more daring, showing a somewhat berserk effect; purely in terms of strength, among all Soul Grandmasters he had seen, only Tang Hao and the Master Bone Douluo seemed comparable.

The massive Blood Demon Mad Bear let out a earth‑shaking roar, intimidating hundreds within a radius, especially the Beast martial soul Grandmasters, who seemed even more affected.

This is Demon Bear Douluo's Fifth Soul Skill, also a Yi Wan Nian soul skill: Rage Bear Roar.

The move is like a sound‑wave attack, also possessing a spirit power attack.

Yang Xiong felt a splitting headache, as if a massive bear silhouette were about to strike his Spirit Sea.

Ignoring the brain pain, Yang Xiong emitted endless blue light from his head, indicating the Blue Silver King Head Soul Bone skill: Ever‑Flowing Spirit Power.

After countless blue lights burst forth, Yang Xiong felt his mind extraordinarily clear; the surrounding combat and slaughter seemed much slower, as if his thoughts raced in an instant, allowing him to see more details of the duel, especially in the air, where a special massive Blood Demon Mad Bear actually appeared, likely the spirit power emitted from Demon Bear Douluo's Soul Ring skill.

Seeing the Blood Demon Mad Bear draw nearer, Yang Xiong's eyes turned blood‑red, and a red beam shot straight at the bear, its red light filled with endless killing aura, as if it could tear any enemy apart.

This is Yang Xiong's Purple Extreme Demon Eye: Asura Divine Light; especially as the Killing God Domain gradually merged with his body and martial soul, the Shura Divine Light seemed to intertwine with the Killing God Domain, making its power even more terrifying.

Under Yang Xiong's full‑force attack, the Asura Divine Light turned the blood‑red Blood Demon Mad Bear's shadow to ash, and the blood‑colored killing aura surged along Demon Bear Douluo's soul skill's phantom directly into its brain.

Demon Bear Douluo let out a mournful, harrowing scream, blood streaming from both eyes in two lines, its hands clutching its brain while howling wildly.

Clearly, Yang Xiong's Asura Divine Light severely wounded Demon Bear Douluo; such spirit‑type attack skills are rare across the Douluo Continent, let alone Self‑Created Spirit Skills.

As Demon Bear Douluo was injured, he seemed to become even more berserk, his strength surging dramatically, and his blood‑thirsty aura also skyrocketing.

Yet Yang Xiong showed no weakness; his eyes turned blood‑red, as if returning to Killing City, seemingly ready to defeat the enemy at any cost.

……

If Yang Xiong's clash with Demon Bear Douluo was still relatively stalemated, the entire Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect's battle began to gradually turn around.

The Spirit Hall's greatest advantage lay in four Title Douluo plus ten thousand Soul Grandmasters, all carefully selected, whose combat power was generally excellent.

In contrast, the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, though claiming five thousand Soul Grandmasters, had a portion of its personnel handling affairs elsewhere.

Moreover, the sect's personnel were tangled and varied; not only many Eight Treasures Glazed Pagoda support Soul Grandmasters, but also Food System, Control System, etc., and even many Soul Grandmasters like Sun Yu, whose attack and defense were very poor and who could neither control nor support.

Moreover, over the years Ning Fengzhi has invested massive resources into cultivating Soul Grandmasters and also spent considerable resources to attract wandering cultivators and small Soul Grandmaster families to strengthen the sect.

For these people, not everyone is deeply loyal or desperate; some may flee at critical moments, and if the enemy cannot be repelled, the sect could fall apart like a tree losing its monkeys.

This is also the gap between the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan and the Clear Sky Sect; the latter's internal hierarchy is stricter, and members are bound by martial soul and blood ties, making traitors virtually nonexistent, and they all rise to counterattack when facing enemies, after all it's their home.

Moreover, if the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan or the Clear Sky Sect were attacked, they would share the sect's fate with no retreat for those Soul Grandmasters.

If one secretly fled at a crucial moment, they might survive short‑term, but because each person's martial soul is unmistakable, fleeing would actually herald a true nightmare, as there would be no teammates or family to support them, and those they have offended would surely strike them down.

Unfortunately, the Spirit Hall's calculations were terribly poor, and their information was greatly off.

Ning Fengzhi is now Ba Shi Liu Ji, his amplification ability reaching a full ninety percent; previously at level 79 his amplification was only eighty percent, so his amplification has risen dramatically.

Especially after Ning Fengzhi added the Eighth Soul Ring, beyond the original seven amplification attributes, he gained an entirely new amplification ability, a qualitative change compared to before.

Sword Douluo reached level 97, allowing him to easily restrain Snake Spear Douluo and occasionally unleash a rain of swords against the Spirit Hall Soul Grandmasters besieging them, even though the siege had no effect.

Bone Douluo can safely guard Ning Fengzhi, and from time to time attacks enemy Soul Douluo or Soul Saint Level masters, appearing and vanishing across the battlefield.

What the Spirit Hall miscalculated most is that the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect now has four more Title Douluo‑level experts.

Although Yang Xiong's Soul Power Level is low, his combat power is absurdly high, actually able to match Demon Bear Douluo.

Spirit Vulture Douluo is being restrained by the Overlord Dragon Snake Couple; purely in terms of combat power, the Overlord Dragon Snake Couple's Martial Soul Fusion Technique is much stronger than that of Spirit Vulture Douluo, but thanks to Flight and extreme speed, both sides still somewhat check each other.

Yang Wudi's combat power is likewise absurdly high; though not yet at Title Douluo level, he is by no means outmatched in a fight with Pufferfish Douluo, and even the sheer sharpness of his Soul‑breaking Gun lets him barely hold a slight advantage.

It should be known that Pufferfish Douluo is the greatest killing weapon among the ten thousand Soul Grandmasters of the Spirit Hall; the martial soul of Pufferfish Douluo, the Blood River Pufferfish, has extremely strong toxicity, and even without using soul skills it can kill enemies over a large area.

In the original work, Bone Douluo's greatest hatred is toward Pufferfish Douluo, because Pufferfish Douluo killed far too many members of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect.

The most terrifying is Dugu Bo; a massive Jade Phosphor Snake Emperor drifts among countless black‑clad men, needing no soul skill, and from time to time green breath pours from the mouth of the Jade Phosphor Snake Emperor, instantly slaying a large number of the Spirit Hall's Soul Grandmasters.

The Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect's disciples were unusually alert, immediately summoning the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda to provide auxiliary amplification for Dugu Bo, which caused Dugu Bo's various attributes to surge dramatically, and the consumption on his body seemed even less than the amplification.

Dugu Bo: ……

At this moment Dugu Bo fell silent, only there because of Yang Xiong's promise, just to stir the sauce, killing ordinary Soul Grandmasters, hardly using any soul skills. You give me such amplification—aren't you roasting me over a fire?

As the war continued, the situation gradually began to reverse, and the effects of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda's assistance also started to become evident.

Whether it is Yang Wudi, Dugu Bo, or Long Gong Meng Shu, under the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda's auxiliary amplification they can fight boldly without worrying about consumption.
