Chapter 261: Twisting the Battle: Xuanming Swap

Yang Xiong's group's combat talent made the early deep Sea God people gasp in amazement, especially Shui Bing'er, Huo Wu and Feng Xiaotian; after only a week apart, their combat sense was extremely sharp, and even their combat experience had grown a lot.

But compared with the Seven Sacred Pillars of Sea God Island, they are seven Title Douluo; their combat power and coordination surpass everyone's imagination.

The Sea Woman Douluo's martial soul Sea Demon Flute, when she blows the melody, the six Yang Xiong seem enveloped by a special light, and everyone's spirit power appears to be suppressed to some extent.

More troublesome, the sound waves seem to contain a special melody that can control seawater to attack.

Ning Rongrong swiftly supports the massive Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda: "The Nine Treasure's famous sixth line is Increase."

Under Ning Rongrong's amplification, everyone's spirit attributes are greatly boosted, allowing them to resist the Sea Woman Douluo's spirit suppression.

And the Sea Delirium Douluo and Sea Star Douluo also react extremely quickly; the Sea Delirium Douluo transforms into a huge Illusory Sea Snake, making the whole battlefield seem like a bizarre illusion, especially under the Sea Delirium Douluo's Illusory Domain, all bodies are somewhat out of control, and the scene before the eyes appears hazy.

The Sea Star Douluo's martial soul Sea Star rapidly grows, sprouting countless tentacles that swiftly entangle Huo Wu and Shui Bing'er, clearly aiming to quickly crush two of Yang Xiong's controllers.

As for why they didn't attack Ning Rongrong, it's because Ning Rongrong summoned the Eight Spider Spirit Bone and used the Nine Treasure Body Protection Divine Light; the Eight Spider Spirit Bone acts like eight spears, blocking the seawater attacks.

Especially, Ning Rongrong can use Divided Mind Control; neither ranged attacks nor spirit attacks have any effect on her.

As time passes, the disadvantage of the six Yang Xiong gradually shows, their average soul power lagging behind the opponent by more than Level 10, especially under the spirit attacks of the Sea Delirium Douluo and Sea Woman Douluo, everyone struggles to hold on.

Feng Xiaotian and Oscar are both tightly suppressed by Title Douluo; fortunately Oscar keeps making Sausages to assist others, especially his Super Recovery Big Sausage, which consumes almost no soul power and can produce many at once.

The only one with an advantage is Yang Xiong; when facing attacks from the Sea Dragon Douluo and Sea Spear Douluo, he seems to handle them with ease, and neither the Sea Delirium Douluo nor the Sea Woman Douluo's spirit attacks affect Yang Xiong at all.

However, Yang Xiong is also secretly surprised: each of the Seven Sacred Pillars alone isn't that strong, but together their strength greatly increases, especially the Sea Star Douluo, whose control ability is somewhat similar to Tang San's Blue Silver Grass, both being entanglement and control skills, even possessing strong devouring ability.

The Sea Dragon Douluo and Sea Spear Douluo were the strongest among the Seven Sacred Pillars at that time; they fully restrict Yang Xiong, aiming to buy time for the other five to crush Ning Rongrong's group.

Seeing the situation gradually turning against them, Yang Xiong knows he must find a way to break the deadlock, at least defeat one opponent, otherwise his side's defeat is only a matter of time.

Yang Xiong grits his teeth, emitting endless red light, and the Killing Domain instantly becomes undeniable.

The Sea Dragon Douluo and Sea Spear Douluo exchange glances; the Sea Dragon Douluo also emits blue light, and it seems he has pushed his power to the limit, with the Demon-Breaking Domain also at its peak.

These two disregard their own consumption, attacking Yang Xiong from two different angles, and their coordination is highly synchronized.

The Sea Dragon Douluo's pair of Dragon Claws forcibly grab at Yang Xiong's head, while the Sea Spear Douluo wields a massive Sea Spear thrusting at Yang Xiong's leg; both the timing and coordination are very clever.

But Yang Xiong is not afraid of the two; in this instant three soul bones appear on his body, including Ice Fire Dragon Claws on both hands and Xuanming Armor on his chest.

After many years of evolution, especially under Sea God's Light and Tidal Body Forging, these three soul bones have reached the eight‑ten‑thousand‑year level, representing ultimate attack and defense.

Yang Xiong's both hands forcibly seize the Sea Dragon Douluo's attacking claws; his left hand glows azure, his right hand flames red, the two different energies simultaneously act on the Sea Dragon Douluo's claws, and the Sea Dragon Douluo seems instantly hit by both, being blasted away.

While Yang Xiong's hands battle the Sea Dragon Douluo, the Sea Spear Douluo seizes the chance, striking Yang Xiong's left leg with full force.

Yang Xiong's whole body twists at that moment, his calf bends slightly; the Sea Spear that aimed at his left leg instead pierces Xuanming Armor, which seems heavily struck, pushing Yang Xiong back half a meter, yet the Xuanming Armor remains intact.

Now the Seven Sacred Pillars of Sea God Island are all stunned; from their perspective they notice Yang Xiong's three soul bones are External Soul Bones, but they never imagined anyone could possess three External Soul Bones, and Yang Xiong never displayed them before.

Yang Xiong also seizes the moment, using the momentum of his retreat to thrust forward, lunging at the Sea Spear Douluo with all his might.

The Sea Spear Douluo quickly brings his Sea Spear to block, and Yang Xiong's twin claws forcibly grip the massive spear.

But before the Sea Spear Douluo can breathe a sigh of relief, Yang Xiong's twin claws push in opposite directions; the two forces form a huge ring, and under this rotating force the Sea Spear Douluo feels a massive pressure, causing the spear to slip from his hands.

At that moment Yang Xiong pushes both hands, sending the massive spear straight into the Sea Spear Douluo's body, knocking him back several meters, a strand of fresh blood spilling from his mouth.

Before Yang Xiong can press the attack, the Sea Dragon Douluo's Dragon Claws desperately snatch toward Yang Xiong's chest, apparently to divert attention.

Yang Xiong's mouth turns cold, Xuanming Armor emits a silver light that envelops his body; this is Xuanming Armor's inherent soul skill: Solid as Golden Broth.

This is an eight‑ten‑thousand‑year soul bone skill; even the Sea Dragon Douluo cannot break through it in a short time.

Yang Xiong takes this time to have his Dragon Claws again seize the Sea Spear Douluo, clearly intending to crush him, otherwise being entangled by these two Title Douluo would put too much pressure on the others.

Facing Yang Xiong's continuous attacks, the Sea Spear Douluo instantly falls into disadvantage.

The Sea Spear Douluo grits his teeth and activates his Third Soul Skill: Spear Shadow Triple, instantly splitting the Sea Spear into three shadows that fly swiftly at Yang Xiong, clearly having exhausted his strength.

At that moment, Yang Xiong's First Soul Ring flashes, and Yang Xiong vanishes without a trace, replaced here by a woman—the Sea Woman Douluo.

This is Yang Xiong using his First Soul Skill: Xuanming Swap; now his First Soul Skill has reached the nine‑thousand‑year level, consuming far less soul power and allowing the swap distance to be farther, even in the sea it faces little restriction.

Yang Xiong's Xuanming Swap catches everyone off guard; the Sea Spear Douluo, having overexerted, didn't anticipate any retreat, resulting in three Sea Spears smashing into the Sea Woman Douluo, who immediately spits blood, badly injured.

Yang Xiong also seizes this instant, his hands forcibly grasp at the Sea Delirium Douluo.

The Sea Delirium Douluo hurriedly summons an Illusory Sea Snake to block, and the Illusory Sea Snake bites Yang Xiong.

But Yang Xiong is undaunted; his Ice Fire Dragon Claws emit endless light, instantly filled with boundless power, which is the Soul Bone Skill: Explosion Dragon Claw.

With Yang Xiong's full-force Ice Fire Dragon Claw strike, the Sea Delirium Douluo is blasted away, and two terrifying claw marks appear on his body, blood soaking his entire form.

Seeing Yang Xiong use Xuanming Swap to reverse the battle technique, the Sea Dragon Douluo and Sea Spear Douluo realize the situation for the Seven Sacred Pillars of Sea God Island has turned.

The battlefield has always been relatively balanced; although the six Yang Xiong are at a disadvantage, the Seven Sacred Pillars still hold a certain edge.

But now, with Yang Xiong's Xuanming Swap, the Sea Woman Douluo receives the Sea Spear Douluo's attack, the Sea Delirium Douluo is heavily wounded by Yang Xiong, and the whole situation instantly reverses, even the Seven Sacred Pillars of Sea God Island begin to subtly fall behind.

The Seven Sacred Pillars of Sea God Island glance at each other, knowing they must now give their all; at this instant each of them has their Seventh Soul Ring flash, and all activate their Martial Soul True Body.

The Sea Dragon Douluo transforms into a massive Sea Dragon, pulling the entire sea water, and swiftly charges at Yang Xiong; if Yang Xiong were to run rampant behind their formation, the three behind him would soon be knocked down, and the Sea Woman Douluo, Sea Delirium Douluo and Sea Star Douluo could not withstand Yang Xiong's attack.

The Sea Spear Douluo likewise becomes a massive Sea Spear, even merging his whole body into the spear; his Tool Spirit reaches ultimate amplification, a unique body‑spear fusion, regarded as an alternative Martial Soul True Body.

Seeing this, the six Yang Xiong also immediately use their Martial Soul True Body; now it's no longer a matter of lasting an hour but which side can claim victory.

Feng Xiaotian transforms into a massive Gale Demon Wolf, especially since he now wields a dark‑green Sausage, which is Oscar's Ultimate Green Sausage.

After using Martial Soul True Body plus eating the Ultimate Green Sausage, Feng Xiaotian instantly becomes a massive Gale Demon Wolf, several times stronger than the usual.

To push his power to the limit, Feng Xiaotian activates his Fourth Soul Skill Demon Wolf Storm; the huge storm instantly envelops all the sea's water, trapping everyone inside, and no one in the world can attack the three Ning Rongrong.

Ning Rongrong also unleashes Nine Treasure True Body; the massive Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda shines throughout the sea, continuously chanting incantations, countless rays of light swiftly merging into everyone's bodies.

Meanwhile, Shui Bing'er and Huo Wu also use Martial Soul True Body, instantly becoming a massive Fire Shadow and Ice Phoenix; the entire sea water, under the power of ice and fire, begins to boil.

In comparison, the Seven Sacred Pillars of Sea God Island are no less; the Sea Demon Woman endures her injuries, turning into a huge human silhouette, holding a massive Sea Demon Flute.

The Sea Star Douluo's Sea Star also wildly grows in an instant, countless tentacles covering the sea surface, emanating endless devouring force.

The Sea Delirium Douluo, Sea Seahorse Douluo, and Sea Ghost Douluo also use Martial Soul True Body, causing the sea surface to erupt, and countless spirit powers in the sea vibrate.
