Xu Sans.h.i.+ leapt forward quickly and pressed his s.h.i.+eld forward. He didn"t unleash a soul skill, but instead used his dense soul power and physical strength to knock into w.a.n.g Chengxi. He was very sudden, such that w.a.n.g Chengxi was unprepared. Her sword was lifted into the air as she was pushed. From the looks of it, she was about to be struck by the s.h.i.+eld.
w.a.n.g Chengxi reached her left hand forward. She grabbed her sword with two hands now and pressed it against the s.h.i.+eld. She tapped into the forward momentum of the s.h.i.+eld to lift her body into the air. Her movements were very elegant. As she exerted strength with her hands, she leapt into the air. At the same time as she pa.s.sed Xu Sans.h.i.+, she flexibly turned her body and reversed direction.
The sword light from her sword started to s.h.i.+ne very brightly. The sharp sword aura engulfed Xu Sans.h.i.+"s body from the back.
She pressed her sword, leaping into the air and launching a counterattack. It was an eye-opener.
Xu Sans.h.i.+ turned from the active to the pa.s.sive party. However, he was very experienced, and had seen many types of situations before. He didn"t panic at all. w.a.n.g Chengxi saw things blurring in front of her before Xu Sans.h.i.+ miraculously used his s.h.i.+eld to block his back. All the sword lights were deflected away, and none of them struck him.
Those who were watching the fight intently noticed that Xu Sans.h.i.+"s s.h.i.+eld turned along with w.a.n.g Chengxi as she leapt into the air, even though he hadn"t turned himself. However, it appeared very abrupt because his s.h.i.+eld was scooped up from the bottom.
w.a.n.g Chengxi"s sword lights struck nothing again. However, her smile seemed to become wider. Her sword started to s.h.i.+ne very brightly, and a layer of icy-blue started to engulf Xu Sans.h.i.+, coming from the third light ring that lit up on the sword.
The icy-blue glow quickly engulfed Xu Sans.h.i.+. At the same time, a black glow started to spread from the s.h.i.+eld of the Xuanwu Turtle. It spread out like exhaust gas, dispelling the icy-blue glow. w.a.n.g Chengxi was also engulfed by this exhaust gas.
It was Xu Sans.h.i.+"s first soul skill, Mysterious Underworld Quake.
The difference this soul skill had from the past was that it now seemed to have its own intelligence. The strongest quake wasn"t unleashed at the first moment, but covered w.a.n.g Chengxi"s body instantly. It was only after this that the immense force of the quake was unleashed.
w.a.n.g Chengxi was stunned. She suddenly felt very restrained fighting against Xu Sans.h.i.+. Her outstanding fighting experience didn"t seem to be useful here. Even her most confident skill had been seen through by her opponent! Xu Sans.h.i.+ gave her a lot of pressure as he unleashed his soul skill.
The fifth soul ring on her sword suddenly lit up. w.a.n.g Chengxi grabbed her sword with both hands, and her body started to squirm. She was even calling out softly, "Painful!"
However, who knew that Xu Sans.h.i.+ wasn"t moved at all. The immense force from his Mysterious Underworld Quake was instantly unleashed. Not only that, but a pitch-black glow shone from his body. The surface area of his s.h.i.+eld doubled, and the strength of the Mysterious Underworld Quake suddenly soared.
Thousand-year soul skill, Mysterious Underworld Force!
A light flashed from w.a.n.g Chengxi"s hand. It was destroyed as a tremendous vibration struck her. Her fifth soul ring, which was on the sword, seemed to have been completely destroyed, and she was flung away by the strong quaking force. The lights on her sword suddenly turned much dimmer.
Xu Sans.h.i.+ didn"t follow up his attack. However, w.a.n.g Chengxi could hear him muttering, "Screaming in such pain, but your soul ring is still bright. That was too hypocritical!"
A pale glow was released from w.a.n.g Chengxi"s body, which she used to resist the quaking force. As she supported her body with her right hand, she bounced straight back up.
"You really don"t know how to take care of girls!" a whining voice sounded out.
Xu Sans.h.i.+ was displeased as he said, "What do you mean, I don"t know how to take care of girls? I"m only protecting myself. Even if I want to take care of girls, I"ll need to prioritize my own life first! Am I right, beauty? Are you still attacking? If you aren"t, you can leave the stage. I don"t want you to complain that I"m not taking good care of you."
w.a.n.g Chengxi pursed her small lips and replied, "You haven"t won. If I leave just like this, how can I account to my sect? Let"s go again!"
As she spoke, she burst towards Xu Sans.h.i.+ again. This time, she seemed even more elegant, and was also much faster. Her long, black hair danced with the wind.
Xu Sans.h.i.+ didn"t rush forward. He actually retreated one step, then lunged forward. There was a smile on his face.
He was indeed very fond of ladies. However, they would be in trouble if they thought that he was brainless and tried to harm him.
w.a.n.g Chengxi suddenly leapt into the air when she was five meters away from Xu Sans.h.i.+. She made a turn in the air and stabbed out towards him both hands on her sword. Her long swaying hair followed the movements of her body, appearing like a full, black moon.
Xu Sans.h.i.+ didn"t retreat or advance. He stood where he was and focused his gaze on w.a.n.g Chengxi"s body. Her fifth soul ring lit up again, and the blinding lights from her sword were very clear. A black sword light was directly separated from her iron sword. It was completely black, but it released an intense silver light. Before the sword was even unleashed, its aura was already cracking the air with its sharpness.
At the same time, w.a.n.g Chengxi"s black hair started to transform. It grew longer, and turned into black snakes that whipped towards Xu Sans.h.i.+. Not only this, but she also lifted her head suddenly, giving Xu Sans.h.i.+ a shock.
While she had appeared very gentle and ravis.h.i.+ng earlier, she was now very pale. Two fangs poked out from her mouth, and her eyes were completely white. Two streaks of pale white light instantly shot from them towards Xu Sans.h.i.+. The spectators couldn"t see these two streaks of light clearly, as they were masked by the snakes. They could only see Xu Sans.h.i.+"s body being engulfed by countless snakes.
Sword light, snakes, white lights! Three different attacks were unleashed at the same time!
Xu Sans.h.i.+ was astonished as he shouted, "Twin martial souls?!" At this point, the white lights from w.a.n.g Chengxi"s eyes had already shot towards him.
Xu Sans.h.i.+ squatted down and used his s.h.i.+eld to protect his entire body. He allowed the two streaks of white light to hit his s.h.i.+eld.
Suddenly, he felt his s.h.i.+eld becoming heavier, as it had turned into a ma.s.sive rock! Following this, the countless snakes started to converge towards him from all directions. The sword lights were already in front of him too!
---
Beneath the stage, everyone from the Tang Sect couldn"t help but get nervous. w.a.n.g Dong"er exclaimed at almost the same time as Xu Sans.h.i.+, "Twin martial souls?!"
Huo Yuhao shook his head, and his expression didn"t really change.
---
Just when everyone thought Xu Sans.h.i.+ was in deep trouble, something weird happened. The air distorted, and suddenly Xu Sans.h.i.+ was displaced from his position, and w.a.n.g Chengxi replaced him in his original position. None of her attacks managed to strike him.
It was his fourth soul skill, the Mysterious Underworld Displacement! It was this skill that had created several miracles in the last tournament.
Xu Sans.h.i.+ wasn"t merciful anymore. A ball of black light was unleashed from his s.h.i.+eld, a snake on its surface. White lights shot out from its blood-red eyes, which reconverted his s.h.i.+eld back to its original state. Following this, his s.h.i.+eld turned into projections in the air. The snakes that came towards Xu Sans.h.i.+ were once again forced away by these projections.
Xu Sans.h.i.+ followed his s.h.i.+eld. His speed soared as he burst forward. He held the main body of his s.h.i.+eld and was about to ram into w.a.n.g Chengxi!
At this point, there were five more soul rings on w.a.n.g Chengxi"s body. Two were yellow, two were purple and the last one was black. The two purple soul rings were still s.h.i.+ning brightly. As her snakes continued to burst forward, her body also turned soft like cotton. Her skin was even replaced by a layer of scales. She retreated quickly.
Her fifth soul ring also lit up again at the same time. A pale white color covered her eyes once again.
Medusa! This was w.a.n.g Chengxi"s stronger martial soul. Her fifth soul skill was called Medusa"s Gaze.
It was a pity that she was facing Xu Sans.h.i.+. His martial soul wasn"t just simply his s.h.i.+eld of the Xuanwu Turtle. His s.h.i.+eld had undergone a mutation.
The Xuanwu was a combination of a turtle and a snake, and it was the most outstanding water-type martial soul. Her Medusa"s Gaze was completely curbed by the aura of his s.h.i.+eld. As long as it didn"t directly strike Xu Sans.h.i.+, it was impossible for her to have any effect on him. Her cultivation was also inferior to his, and he wouldn"t turn to stone just because she gazed at him.
"Trying to escape?" Xu Sans.h.i.+ snorted coldly. The s.h.i.+eld projections in the air started to converge.
If the Heavenly Armor Sect"s team hadn"t left, they would have been embarra.s.sed by how Xu Sans.h.i.+ used his s.h.i.+eld.
The s.h.i.+eld walls formed by Xu Sans.h.i.+"s s.h.i.+eld of the Xuanwu Turtle turned into a cage under his control, and w.a.n.g Chengxi was trapped within!
Two streaks of blood-red light shot out from the snake"s eyes on the surface of his s.h.i.+eld. As they struck w.a.n.g Chengxi"s Medusa"s Gaze, they destroyed it. He was also moving forward again at this point.
w.a.n.g Chengxi"s body jerked back as she retracted all her snakes, but she then burst forward again and collided head-on with him.
It was a pity that her abilities were still far from his. Her snakes were destroyed, and she was completely trapped by Xu Sans.h.i.+. She groaned in discontent.
He watched w.a.n.g Chengxi from close-range and used his s.h.i.+eld to block off her Medusa"s Gaze. Xu Sans.h.i.+ shook his head in loathing and said, "You look really good, but why do you have to make yourself appear so disgusting? It"s a pity. I almost thought that you had twin martial souls. It seems like that isn"t the case! You are quite smart, but it"s a pity that you met me. Don"t worry, I take good care of ladies. Concede defeat now!"
