Chapter 194: First Kill the Ghost, Then Annihilate the Chrysanthemum

Originally Tang San and Xiao Wu were in a very critical situation, but as Bai He led Yang Xiong and others to intervene, the situation instantly turned around.

Yang Xiong, Yang Wei, Oscar, Ning Rongrong, and Qin Shuang rushed to Tang San and Xiao Wu's side; especially Ning Rongrong immediately amplified both Tang San and Xiao Wu, while Oscar quickly handed each of them a Super Recovery Big Sausage.

Yang Xiong then swiftly positioned himself in front of the crowd; against the ordinary attacks of so many Soul Saints, Yang Xiong's current defense is nothing at all.

Xiao Wu and Tang San instantly rejoiced: "Rong Rong, Xiao Xiongzi, Shuang Shuang, Uncle Big Sausage, why have you all come?"

Ning Rongrong and Xiao Wu, the two close friends, quickly embraced each other: "Xiao Wu, I heard Xiao Xiongzi say that a large force is heading to the Star Dou Great Forest to capture you, so I asked Xiao Xiongzi to bring me along."

"Fortunately I arrived in time; otherwise you would have become a roasted rabbit."

Xiao Wu laughed carefree: "All good, all good, Rong Rong, you came just in time; otherwise me and San Ge would be in trouble."

The leading Soul Saint opposite snorted: "A bunch of junior Soul Emperors, plus a terribly weak Bai He; we are all Soul Saints, and you lot still dare to come to your deaths."

Yang Xiong said calmly: "Anyone the Spirit Hall sent to the Star Dou Great Forest today, none of you will think of leaving."

After speaking, Yang Xiong's whole body turned blood‑red, exuding endless killing intent like a awakened fierce beast, and his body manifested two yellow, one purple, two black, and one red Soul Rings.

When Yang Xiong's red Soul Ring flashed, everyone on the scene was stunned, especially Xiao Wu, whose complexion changed slightly.

All Soul Saints of the Spirit Hall were also shocked; Yang Xiong's Hundred‑Thousand‑Year Soul Ring configuration was indeed frightening.

Before they could react, Yang Xiong's figure flashed as he surged at incredible speed toward the opposing Soul Saint.

The leading Soul Saint of the Spirit Hall was also startled and immediately activated the Seventh Soul Skill: Martial Soul True Body, instantly transforming into a massive Black Tiger to block Yang Xiong's attack.

Unfortunately, Yang Xiong's power was far stronger than imagined; with a full‑strength grab he ripped through the defense, even brutally breaking the arm the opponent used to block, and clutched it around his neck.

With a single thrust, Yang Xiong instantly separated the head and body of the leading Soul Saint, his neck brutally twisted and broken by Yang Xiong.

The other Soul Saints of the Spirit Hall were instantly horrified; they had never seen such a domineering Soul Emperor, killing Soul Saints as if they were ants.

Just as they began to fear, a massive shadow fell from the sky—the Titan Giant Ape leapt forward, causing the ground to tremble.

Yang Xiong sneered: "Titan Giant Ape, these are all enemies that must kill Xiao Wu; everyone must die."

The Titan Giant Ape seemed provoked, as if upset and angry about Xiao Wu's earlier peril, and let out a thunderous roar that made the ground begin to crack; all Soul Saints at that moment seemed under immense pressure, unable to move.

Especially the Titan Giant Ape's massive hands, which now forcibly grabbed the Spirit Hall's Soul Saints; even as they fought with all their might, they were like ants before the huge ape, their bodies crushed into fragments.

This was a slaughter; although the Spirit Hall had as many as twenty Soul Saints, faced with Yang Xiong and the Titan Giant Ape's full‑force assault, plus Bai He's lightning speed delivering finishing blows, the twenty Soul Saints were swiftly killed like ants.

If Yang Xiong's side was a massacre, then the Sword Douluo's side was a crushing.

Yang Xiong had basically arranged his strongest formation: there were already four Title Douluos, plus Yang Wudi, a Soul Douluo with Title Douluo‑level attacks, and Ning Fengyuan, an exceptional supporting Soul Saint; even Ju Gui Douluo, despite fighting with all his strength, was forced to retreat step by step.

Especially since the two had been ambushed earlier and were already heavily wounded, it was hard for them to withstand the enemy's attacks.

Moreover, Yang Xiong had already made arrangements: Long Gong She Po and Lin Gong fully suppressed Ju Douluo; Long Gong She Po launched a fierce attack, while Lin Gong used Purple Emperor Bamboo to control, giving Ju Douluo no chance at all.

The real target, however, was Gui Douluo; Gui Douluo had to face Sword Douluo, Yang Wudi, and Niu Gao, and even Lin Gong occasionally used Purple Emperor Bamboo to help control Gui Douluo, leaving Gui Douluo with no chance to escape.

Azure Bull Python was also extremely angry at Ju Gui Douluo; earlier that control had nearly endangered Xiao Wu, and now it was furious, attacking Ju Gui Douluo with all its might.

In just a few minutes, the two of Ju Gui Douluo were in constant peril, their injuries worsening, leaving them no chance to catch a breath.

And during those minutes, the opposing twenty Soul Saints were quickly slaughtered by Yang Xiong and the Titan Giant Ape; compared to Ten‑thousand‑year Soul Beasts, Soul Saints were indeed a bit too weak, not to mention Bai He's extreme speed attacking from the outskirts.

After killing those Soul Saints, Yang Xiong spoke to Xiao Wu and the Titan Giant Ape: "Xiao Wu, Titan Giant Ape, the two Title Douluos opposite are the real culprits behind this attack on you, and they are Bibidong's true left and right arms; only by completely eliminating those two will there be no lingering trouble."

Xiao Wu, watching Ju Gui Douluo's situation, seemed to see the scene of herself being hunted and the murder of her mother, her eyes filled with fury: "Great Light, Second Light, kill those two Title Douluos with all your might to avenge my mother."

The Titan Giant Ape was a bit puzzled: "Sister Xiao Wu, humans are unreliable; I don't trust these humans, I'm afraid you'll be in danger."

Although the Titan Giant Ape was speaking to Xiao Wu, its gaze fell on Yang Xiong's Hundred‑Thousand‑Year Soul Ring; moreover, the ape sensed that Yang Xiong was now at Level 70, and was very afraid that Yang Xiong might harbor ill intentions toward Xiao Wu.

Yang Xiong sneered: "At least I saved you; is this the attitude you take? Besides, I've already said I don't care about that little rabbit's Soul Ring; its quality is just too poor."

Xiao Wu punched toward Yang Xiong: "You little Xiao Xiongzi, how dare you look down on me? Sister Xiao Wu is really powerful."

Yang Xiong replied helplessly: "Do you intend to become my Soul Ring, then?"

Xiao Wu was momentarily at a loss for words, but her eyes still burned with anger; clearly she didn't like Yang Xiong's sixth Hundred‑Thousand‑Year Soul Ring.

Yang Xiong ignored Xiao Wu, and together with Bai He rushed at lightning speed toward Gui Douluo; now the Spirit Hall's key lay with Gui Douluo, as only Gui Douluo had a real chance to escape. If Gui Douluo fled, it would surely anger Bibidong, and then Bibidong might become…

Xiao Wu even spoke to the Titan Giant Ape: "Er Ming, go kill those two enemies first; I'm safe with Rong Rong."

The Titan Giant Ape let out a hum from its mouth and, unwillingly, also charged toward Gui Douluo.

Originally, Gui Douluo, faced with attacks from Yang Wudi, Sword Douluo, and Niu Gao, was already struggling; defeat or even death was only a matter of time.

Gui Douluo could only transform into a Ghost Shadow and flee everywhere, seeking a way to survive.

But the situation changed dramatically now that Yang Xiong, Bai He, and the Titan Giant Ape entered the battlefield, instantly causing Gui Douluo to retreat step by step.

Especially Bai He, whose speed was the fastest among everyone present, even surpassing Gui Douluo, giving Gui Douluo no chance to survive.

Gui Douluo roared angrily: "Since you won't give me a way out, I'll have you all perish with me!"

Gui Douluo's Ninth Soul Ring flashed, and countless gigantic black‑shadowed hands erupted from the ground, instantly rising hundreds of meters, grasping at everyone with full force, exactly like a desperate strike—this is Gui Douluo's Ninth Soul Skill: Hell Wraiths.

This was Gui Douluo's ultimate strike; any nearby flora or fauna seemed to wither away at incredible speed, the dark aura was terrifying, even Title Douluos dared not be contaminated lightly.

Yang Xiong shouted angrily at the Titan Giant Ape and Azure Bull Python: "You two bastards still haven't given your all, are you waiting for them to run away? Next time Xiao Wu won't have such a good chance to survive."

Obviously Gui Douluo's all‑out strike was to try to secure a chance to survive; perhaps this Hell Wraiths technique could open a path for him.

Upon hearing this, Azure Bull Python let out a massive bovine roar, and from its huge bull head a terrifying thunderbolt erupted, instantly enveloping a radius of several hundred meters; within that area there was not only a slowing effect but also extremely destructive power—this is Azure Bull Python's soul skill: Azure Tranquil Annihilation Thunder.

The Titan Giant Ape also let out a great roar; the ground seemed to crack instantly, a terrifying pressure descended from the heavens, even the massive Ghost Shadow appeared completely suppressed—this is the Titan Giant Ape's soul skill: Titan Star.

Facing the full‑force assault of the two Ten‑thousand‑year Soul Beasts, even though Gui Douluo unleashed his desperate Ninth Soul Skill, he seemed completely suppressed.

Especially, the bodies of the two Ten‑thousand‑year Soul Beasts were extremely robust, not fearing Gui Douluo's Hell Wraiths dark corrosion at all; only their skin and scales suffered some damage.

Seeing Gui Douluo being suppressed by the two Ten‑thousand‑year Soul Beasts, Sword Douluo directly activated the Eighth Soul Skill: Mountain-Moving Sea-Filling; a massive Seven Killing Sword instantly manifested twelve sword shadows, each possessing eighty percent of the original's power.

All the sword shadows, under Sword Douluo's control, formed a massive sword formation that enveloped Gui Douluo within it.

No matter how desperately Gui Douluo fought, his soul power had already been fully suppressed by the two Ten‑thousand‑year Soul Beasts; his movements became extremely sluggish, endless pressure emanated from his body, making it impossible to deftly fend off Sword Douluo's attacks.

Under the barrage of countless sword shadows, blade after blade of the Seven Killing Sword swiftly pierced Gui Douluo's body; when the scene finally returned to calm, Gui Douluo was kneeling on one knee, dead‑still.

He had as many as twelve Seven Killing Swords lodged in him—chest, abdomen, skull, heart—essentially the entire body pierced; even Gui Douluo's formidable survivability and unique martial soul could not grant him any chance of living now.

Gui Douluo stared intently at the besieged Ju Douluo in the distance, his eyes filled with endless resentment, and eventually they gradually lost their light.

At this point, after traversing the Soul Master World for decades, Gui Douluo, one of the Spirit Hall's marquee names, fell.

From afar, Ju Douluo let out a mournful, harrowing scream: "Old Ghost, wait for me, hold on!"

Unfortunately, Ju Douluo was besieged by many and, even unto death, could not rescue Gui Douluo.

After Gui Douluo fell, everyone present turned their spears toward Ju Douluo, preparing to besiege him.

Ju Douluo roared, "You've gone too far; you actually killed Old Ghost, and you shall pay with your lives for Old Ghost!"

Only to see Ju Douluo's entire body erupt with soul power, his whole form instantly turning golden, especially his Seventh Spirit Ring flashing; the enormous wondrous mushroom that reaches the heavens' entire energy merged into his body, and his aura surged dramatically again.

To an outsider, Ju Douluo at this moment seemed like a Vajra Indestructible Body.

Jian Douluo shouted, "This guy is going all out; he spares no effort, using his own Life Force and martial soul origin, intending a final desperate gamble to avenge Gui Douluo."
