Chapter 183: Yang Xiong

As time gradually passes, even though the Spirit Hall's soul masters are in the majority, they are now completely in a passive situation.

Dugu Bo may be somewhat slacking, but his lethality against ordinary soul masters is indeed huge; with a swing of his hand, many ordinary soul masters are cut down, and even Soul Douluo experts dare not approach him lightly.

In addition, there is the Sword Douluo, and unlike Dugu Bo's slacking, the Sword Douluo truly kills across the battlefield.

At first, the Sword Douluo, single‑handedly, blocked a force of thousands of soul masters outside the walls of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, including the Title Douluo Snake Spear Douluo.

At this moment, as both sides enter a stalemate, the Sword Douluo on one hand confronts the Snake Spear Douluo, essentially completely suppressing the Snake Spear Douluo.

At the same time, with effortless skill, the Sword Douluo emits countless sword qi using the Seven Killing Sword, sometimes like a rain of swords, killing countless people.

Simply in terms of number of enemies killed, the Sword Douluo even far surpasses Dugu Bo.

At this moment, the Spirit Hall's four Title Douluo also begin to realize that this battle may cost them heavily.

The two sides not only differ in the number of Title Douluo, but also have huge gaps in overall control ability, support ability, and large‑scale killing capability.

Especially with Title Douluo Lin Gong's battlefield control, plus Gu Shu's mysterious unpredictability, the Spirit Hall finds it almost impossible to kill the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect disciples.

Conversely, as the Sword Douluo and Dugu Bo gradually exert force, the Spirit Hall rapidly loses members; the exact death count is unknown, but it is definitely several times that of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect.

The Spirit Hall's real achievements in killing enemies were only during the initial ambush; now, in all aspects, they are being suppressed.

Especially the Snake Spear Douluo, although not the highest in Soul Power Level among everyone, is the true leader of this Spirit Hall Soul Hunting Operation.

Unfortunately, the Snake Spear Douluo is now completely suppressed by the Sword Douluo, with no remaining strength to aid others, let alone lead the whole situation.

It should be known that in the original work, the Snake Spear Douluo performed exceptionally, not only leading the crowd to check the Sword Douluo, but also directing the entire siege of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect.

With all four Title Douluo restrained, the Spirit Hall still proceeds with the original plan to besiege the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, and no one pays attention to the comparative strength of the two sides.

Meanwhile, the Spirit Vulture Douluo gradually notices that something is amiss, but unfortunately she herself must also face the fierce attacks of the Overlord Dragon Snake Couple.

Especially as Lin Gong's control intensifies, the battlefield seems to gradually split, with all four Title Douluo each fighting their opponents alone,

Gu Shu also gradually steps forward, using his bizarre and unpredictable ability to assist the Overlord Dragon Snake Couple, leaving the Spirit Vulture Douluo in utter distress.

Yang Wudi and the Pufferfish Douluo are evenly matched in battle; both are masters of poison, and the Pufferfish Douluo's toxin has no effect on Yang Wudi, who even occasionally pierces the Pufferfish Douluo with the sheer strength and sharpness of his Soul‑Breaking Gun.

The Pufferfish Douluo, thanks to a higher Soul Power Level, can keep the stalemate going; although the Blood River Pufferfish's toxin is potent, it still falls short compared to other top Beast Spirits.

The most tragic fight on the scene is the battle between Yang Xiong and the Demon Bear Douluo.

As their battle grows increasingly fierce and reckless, it truly resembles two massive beasts colliding.

Yang Xiong, relying on his two supreme amplification soul skills, plus Ning Fengzhi's ultimate support and Killing God Domain, can barely contend with the Demon Bear Douluo.

But at this moment the Demon Bear Douluo seems genuinely enraged, perhaps because after being wounded by Yang Xiong's spirit power, he has become even more blood‑thirsty and mad.

The Demon Bear Douluo's martial soul is originally the Blood Demon Mad Bear, possessing extreme blood‑lust and berserk abilities; the more blood‑soaked the surroundings and the more dead, the stronger his combat power becomes.

The Demon Bear Douluo appears to be losing control, completely disregarding his surroundings.

"You brat, today I'll make sure you die a terrible death; no one can save you."

The seventh massive Soul Ring on the Demon Bear Douluo flashes; it is his Seventh Soul Skill: Martial Soul True Body. After activating Martial Soul True Body, the Demon Bear Douluo's attack, defense, and combat ability all seem greatly enhanced, and the Blood Demon Mad Bear truly achieves berserk.

Yang Xiong's face turns fiercely savage, like a feral beast; he grits his teeth and directly activates the Sixth Soul Skill: Immortal Body.

At this stage, the power gap between Yang Xiong and the Demon Bear Douluo is enormous; there is over a twenty‑level difference in Soul Power Level, and after becoming Title Douluo, each level upgrade brings a qualitative boost to combat ability and physique.

The Demon Bear Douluo alone reaches level 95; purely in terms of strength, he is probably the strongest among the Spirit Hall's four Title Douluo, far beyond what the current Yang Xiong can match.

Now Yang Xiong's only option is to use Immortal Body, plus assistance from the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda, perhaps enabling him to contend.

Seeing the massive bear paw swing toward Yang Xiong, he grits his teeth, ignores the pain, and must exert all his strength to counter.

With a single move, Yang Xiong is again slammed into the air, even his right‑hand bone broken.

However, while in Immortal Body, a strange energy within his Soul Ring seems to repair his body, and the broken right arm rapidly heals.

From afar, Gu Shu appears a bit worried: "Lin Gong, Fengzhi, this Demon Bear Douluo is too formidable; it's not something Yang Xiong can currently withstand. Do you really not need my assistance?"

"Gu Shu, in my view…"

Ning Fengzhi seems to want Gu Shu to confront the Demon Bear Douluo; after all, the situation has mostly stabilized, the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect is gradually gaining the upper hand, and now the question is not whether they can repel the Spirit Hall's assault, but how many of the Spirit Hall will die in this war.

Lin Gong hurriedly interrupts Ning Fengzhi: "Sect Leader, Gu Shu, haven't you noticed that Yang Xiong is more excited than before, and more war‑like?"

Ning Fengzhi looks puzzled: "How could this be happening?"

Lin Gong instead asks Gu Shu: "Gu Shu, when you previously fought Yang Xiong, did his combat power ever reach this level? Was he ever this excited?"

Gu Shu shakes his head: "Yang Xiong has never been like this; even if I apply great pressure, he has never been this crazy, this strong, or this blood‑thirsty."

Lin Gong nods: "Exactly. Since childhood, Yang Xiong has always hidden his strength subtly; hardly anyone has ever seen him unleash his full power, not even you or me."

"Today is a perfect opportunity; the sect is in a perilous moment, the enemy's strength is slightly higher, and at such times Yang Xiong's killing intent can reach its peak, just like in the Killing City. I think Xiao Xiong will certainly employ every method he can think of to slay the Demon Bear Douluo, even if his soul power is slightly lacking."

"Moreover, for Xiao Xiong today is a rare chance; only in dire straits can a true strong one truly reveal his potential."

As the Demon Bear Douluo attacks again, Yang Xiong's hand instantly changes, producing a blood‑red long sword.

This is Yang Xiong's Fifth Soul Skill: Crimson Moon Thunder Sword.

In terms of strength and soul power, Yang Xiong still has a considerable gap compared to the Demon Bear Douluo; beyond simple force collisions, Yang Xiong has also gained more killing techniques from the Killing City.

Especially as the fight with the Demon Bear Douluo continues, Yang Xiong feels his blood boiling inside, a sensation reminiscent of returning to the Killing City.

More importantly, his Body Soul Weapon: Asura Body seems to be gradually changing, becoming more blood‑thirsty and more mad.

The Asura God was originally the Killing God; Yang Xiong originally used the Blood River Body Tempering of the Killing City, causing changes in both his Body Soul Weapon and Killing God Domain.

Back then, Yang Xiong felt the Killing God Domain was oddly fused with his Body Soul Weapon, but over the past years he has tried everything to control his killing aura, and the Killing God Domain seems to have gradually calmed.

Now, Yang Xiong's killing aura bursts forth, just like when he first emerged from the Killing City, even stronger and more terrifying than back then.

Since his Body Soul Weapon's Second Awakening into Asura Body, Yang Xiong has never unleashed his power to this extreme, nor faced such widespread death, especially the deaths of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect disciples.

At this moment, the fury in Yang Xiong's heart seems to reach its peak; the Killing God Domain and Asura Body appear to transform in an instant, the white light they emitted turning into a sky of blood‑red light, making one feel as if in hell.

Yang Xiong's Body Soul Weapon Asura Body now seems to resonate with his spirit and body, the martial soul undergoing some metamorphosis; all the killing aura becomes more tangible, and he appears to enter a special state.

This state resembles the berserk nature of the Demon Bear Douluo's Blood Demon Mad Bear martial soul, but seems even more blood‑thirsty and murderous.

Yang Xiong pours all his strength into the Crimson Blood Thunder Sword, which then emits a terrifying blood‑red aura.

Yang Xiong unleashes his full strength in a strike; the Seven Kill Sword Technique seems pushed to its limit, the countless sword qi forming a Kill Glyph that turns blood‑red. It is no longer ordinary killing aura or sword qi; it already bears a hint of the Killing God Domain, as if the entire Killing God Domain has been merged into the sword qi.

Seeing that this strike was extremely powerful, Demon Bear Douluo roared again and directly activated the Eighth Spirit Skill: Abyssal Bear King Rift,

With a full‑power strike, the whole earth and air seemed about to split open, as if a massive bear paw stretched across the heavens, as if the very heavens and earth were being torn apart.

Moreover, this strike by Demon Bear Douluo not only possessed terrifying force, but also carried a certain dark aura.

Both sides desperately unleashed full‑power strikes; Yang Xiong's massive Seven Killing Sword Qi collided with Demon Bear Douluo's gigantic bear paw from the Abyssal Bear King Rift, and everything within nearly a hundred meters seemed shattered, with terrifying fissures appearing in the ground.

Yang Xiong and Demon Bear Douluo were both blown back nearly a hundred meters by the overwhelming impact.

Yang Xiong now bore an extremely horrific claw scar, countless bones in his body were broken, and he spewed fresh blood wildly.

Demon Bear Douluo was similar, perhaps even more severely wounded; a terrifying sword scar pierced his entire chest, and his bones seemed to have been sliced countless times.

Especially at all of Demon Bear Douluo's wounds, a blood‑red aura seemed to linger, clashing with his soul power, as if corroding his body and soul.

"Eight Treasures True Body!"

Ning Fengzhi reacted with lightning speed, immediately activating the martial soul of the Eight Treasures Glazed Pagoda; the Pagoda instantly became a towering tower several zhang high, and countless energies surged into Yang Xiong's body.
