Chapter 292: Angel Judgment

Yang Xiong and Qian Renxue fought for a full hour and a bit, and both sides were essentially evenly matched, with neither gaining a significant advantage.

The two sides still had a difference of eight levels of Soul Power, especially after entering the Title Douluo stage; each increase of one level of Soul Power creates a huge gap in strength, and after reaching Level 95, each level of Soul Power becomes a very large threshold.

Qian Renxue truly lives up to being an Inheritor of the Angel God; after her Soul Power reached Level 98, combined with the quality of her Six-Winged Angel Divine Level martial soul, she is probably the strongest in the world aside from the three great Limit Douluo, and may even slightly surpass Bibidong encountered in the Star Dou Great Forest.

Yang Xiong can contend with Qian Renxue partly because of his Limit Body Tempering, his physical condition had already reached its own limit, and after recently absorbing two top-grade Dragon Bones, his physique further improved.

The other aspect is that, having a Soul Core, even though his Soul Power depth is not as great as Qian Renxue's, the Soul Core spins rapidly in his dantian, allowing him to absorb massive energy from the air, enabling him to barely match Qian Renxue.

So, the more it got to this point, Yang Xiong actually became more excited.

All along, Yang Xiong has been striving to become stronger, believing he has no peer among his age group and that even the world's masters are within his reach; now, fighting Qian Renxue more only fuels his desire to compete and dominate.

Especially after obtaining these two exquisite Dragon Bones, it seems he entered a new tier, with both his strength and his control over Soul Power becoming stronger.

Yang Xiong and Qian Renxue's battle grew increasingly ferocious and intense, and they basically employed all sorts of tactics, pushing their abilities to the limit.

Although Qian Renxue initially held an advantage thanks to her flight and speed, Yang Xiong, like an indestructible little cockroach, grew more courageous as the fight progressed, and any injuries he sustained healed in an extremely short time.

Qian Renxue also knows that, purely in terms of physical condition, she probably cannot beat him.

"Yang Xiong, your strength is even more formidable than I imagined; especially your physical condition is astonishing. I consider my own strength to be on par with yours, but alas I am an Inheritor of the Angel God, and after completing the Angel God Seventh Trial, I can now wield the Angel Holy Sword."

"Don't blame me for bullying you with a Divine Artifact; you can also use your Divine Artifact."

Qian Renxue drew the Angel Holy Sword from her waist; with a single swing, it instantly emitted golden light, as if her entire martial soul were being suppressed.

Yang Xiong clearly sensed that the Angel Holy Sword possesses the same Purification Power as Qian Renxue's Six-Winged Angel, but its strength surpasses hers; moreover, the Angel Holy Sword weighs 36,000 jin, truly a Divine Artifact.

Seeing Qian Renxue brandish the Angel Holy Sword, Yang Xiong drew the Asura Demon Sword from his hand.

When the Asura Demon Sword was unsheathed, the original golden light was instantly split, and even Qian Renxue's Six-Winged Angel martial soul was restrained.

With the Asura Demon Sword in his hand and the Angel Holy Sword in hers, the two Divine Artifacts, like deities, cleaved the heavens and earth.

This battle can truly be called unprecedented; theoretically, it is even more intense than the historic duel between Qian Daoliu and Tang Chen. Although both Qian Daoliu and Tang Chen were Limit Douluo, neither possessed a Divine Artifact.

Now that Yang Xiong and Qian Renxue wield Divine Artifacts, their strength has already reached the Limit Douluo level, and the power of the artifacts is even greater.

It should be noted that when Tang San first entered the Title Douluo, wielding the Sea God Trident, he could already contend with the Level 98 Bibidong; yet Yang Xiong and Qian Renxue's strength surpasses that of Tang San just entering the Title Douluo.

At that moment, the stance of Yang Xiong's Asura Demon Sword shifted, instantly radiating endless sword qi; all the sword qi rapidly coalesced into a massive Kill Glyph, the Seven Kill Sword Technique.

Qian Renxue's eyes showed a hint of disdain; she swung the Angel Holy Sword horizontally before her, merging the final Six-Winged Angel with the Angel Holy Sword into one, like a towering sky-slicing great sword standing before her.

Relying on the strength of her Six-Winged Angel martial soul and the powerful Purification Power, Qian Renxue forcibly blocked Yang Xiong's Seven Kill Sword Technique.

But Yang Xiong could not care about any of that; completely reckless, he again gathered countless sword qi into another Kill Glyph.

This is the might of the Seven Kill Sword Technique: each strike stronger than the last, and each Kill Glyph can be stacked, ultimately driving one's Soul Power and spirit power to the limit.

Qian Renxue seemed to look down on the Seven Kill Sword Technique, but when she consecutively blocked Yang Xiong's five Kill Glyphs, her expression grew even more serious.

When Yang Xiong exerted all his might to unleash the eighth Kill Glyph, his whole body seemed to bear endless pressure, even his body and martial soul showed a slight recoil tendency; this Kill Glyph spread like a flood, as if to slice the heavens and earth into fragments.

Based on Yang Xiong's current comprehension of the Seven Kill Sword Technique, he can at most unleash eight Kill Glyphs, while his teacher, the Sword Douluo, recently broke through to Level 98 and should now be able to desperately produce a ninth Kill Glyph, which essentially represents the highest realm of the Seven Kill Sword Technique.

Qian Renxue clearly recognized Yang Xiong's desperate stance, and the Ninth Soul Ring flashed; the Six-Winged Angel instantly solidified, its massive twin hands forcibly blocking in front of Qian Renxue, and the Six-Winged Angel's six wings also shielded her. This is Qian Renxue's Ninth Soul Skill 2: Great Angel Guard.

From this move, it has reached an absolute defense level, even hinting at Divine-level strength.

Yang Xiong, using the Seven Kill Sword Technique at full force, struck the eighth Kill Glyph directly onto the Six-Winged Angel; the killing aura collided with the Angel Guard power in that instant, and the entire Liang Yue Shan seemed to tremble.

With both sides delivering their full-force strikes, Yang Xiong was forced back several hundred meters, while a massive pit dozens of meters wide opened where Qian Renxue had stood.

Yang Xiong wiped the fresh blood from his mouth and said, "Interesting, the Six-Winged Angel martial soul is indeed formidable; I didn't expect you also have a Ten Thousand Year Level defensive soul skill."

Qian Renxue also spat out a mouthful of blood, and after the blood splattered on her, she seemed to become even more arrogant.

"Yang Xiong, with just that petty Seven Kill Sword Technique you can't beat me. Back then, the Sword Douluo's father consecutively unleashed nine Kill Glyphs, yet still couldn't wound my grandfather; he was even struck by my grandfather's Angel Power, damaging his five organs and six bowels, and ultimately died."

"Even if the Seven Kill Sword Technique is cultivated to its utmost, it can never challenge the brilliance of the Angel; moreover, you haven't even refined the technique to its peak, unable to produce the ninth Kill Glyph."

Yang Xiong snorted coldly, "So what? I still managed to wound you with the Seven Kill Sword Technique; it's not that the technique is inferior to you. I didn't expect you to have fused your body and martial soul to such an extent— the Six-Winged Angel truly lives up to being a Divine-level martial soul."

Qian Renxue laughed, "To be honest, when I wield the Angel Holy Sword, even my grandfather couldn't do anything to me, let alone you, who hasn't even reached the Title Douluo yet."

At this moment, Yang Xiong appeared utterly unruly, his eyes filled with flame, and the blood in his body seemed to start boiling.

Even back then at the Soul Master Competition, Yang Xiong hadn't reached today's level; only by truly challenging the strong does one embody the Asura's indomitable spirit and the killing aura that breaks limits.

Qian Renxue's talent is indeed formidable, clearly compensating for her earlier weakness in combat ability; one could say that her spirit power, physical condition, Soul Power, and combat experience have all reached the pinnacle of a Soul Master. Even Bo Saixi, whom she had encountered before, only reached this level, and she even surpasses the physically weak Tang Chen.

At this point, Yang Xiong could no longer care about any of that; he directly activated his Seventh Soul Skill, Asura True Form. His golden body instantly became covered with dense demonic runes, and a blood-red phantom appeared behind him.

The Killing God Domain, which had been at a disadvantage, now received a massive boost; the blood-red light clashed with Qian Renxue's Angel Domain.

Qian Renxue's Angel Domain is equally domineering, possessing Purification Power and Fire Power, as if it could incinerate all things in the world.

But Yang Xiong's Killing God Domain is by no means weaker; its ultimate killing aura makes one feel as if immersed in a sea of corpses and blood, like an Asura hell.

Qian Renxue let out a wild laugh, "Yang Xiong, your Killing God Domain may be formidable, even reaching the pinnacle of the Soul Master Domain, but you forget what my Six-Winged Angel martial soul symbolizes."

"Your killing aura may be strong, but it is filled with sin and Xie'e, whereas my Six-Winged Angel martial soul represents the purest justice and light in the world; under that light, all evil cannot hide."

Qian Renxue, wielding the Angel Holy Sword, caused the Six-Winged Angel to instantly emit a ten-thousand-foot radiance, as if a golden beam split the heavens and earth, and a golden great sword descended from the sky, seeming to cleave Yang Xiong entirely.

Yang Xiong felt a moment of daze, as if reviewing the killing sins of his life, and as if standing before some judgment platform.

So when the golden great sword fell from the sky, it seemed accompanied by a certain Buddhist chant, as if representing the heavens and earth's judgment upon him.

"Yang Xiong, your killing will only become your sin; I, representing the Angel, pass judgment upon you."

This is Qian Renxue's full-force strike; this blow is no longer a Soul Ring skill but stems from the Angel God's inheritance, the Angel God's divine technique: Angel Judgment.

Especially now that Qian Renxue has reached Level 98, wielding the Angel Holy Sword, she is evidently stronger than Tang San when he wielded the Sea God Trident in the original work.
