Chapter 142: The Title Battle (Part Two)

The soul skills unleashed by the two Titled Douluo collided head-on, producing a thunderous roar that caused the soul masters fighting below to visibly sway.

Although both were eighth soul skills, Camus's strength clearly surpassed that of Chrysanthemum Douluo. The Aurora Execution instantly overwhelmed the Gate of Holy Light, sending extreme cold energy surging outward and sweeping toward Chrysanthemum Douluo.

Chrysanthemum Douluo's expression changed drastically. Almost instantly, he mobilized all his soul power to condense a soul power barrier in front of him. However, under the assault of the Aurora Execution, cracks quickly appeared on it, and a faint chill seeped through the gaps, blowing across Chrysanthemum Douluo's face like a cutting blade.

"Old Ghost, help!"

Realizing he was outmatched, Chrysanthemum Douluo could not help but cry out for backup.

Whether it was an illusion or not, several Titled Douluo watching from the Nine Stars Palace all detected a hint of a cooing, spoiled tone in Chrysanthemum Douluo's voice, giving these powerhouses goosebumps. Even Saga, whose eyes were half-closed, could not help but twitch the corners of his eyes a few times.

The Spirit Hall's Chrysanthemum and Ghost Douluo had been inseparable for decades, and their relationship was extremely ambiguous, likely harboring some unknown secrets. It seemed the rumors might not be unfounded.

"Ke-ke-ke-ke! Chrysanthemum Guan is in trouble!"

As a good buddy, the moment Chrysanthemum Douluo called for backup, Ghost Douluo had already appeared behind him. The aura of death, highly familiar to Xiao Yu, condensed and fully unleashed its soul power, meeting the beam of extreme cold freezing energy head-on.

It was only through the combined efforts of the two Titled Douluo that Camus's Aurora Execution attack was finally neutralized.

"What a terrifying fellow!"

Following the exchange, Ghost Douluo's voice also turned solemn. "Chrysanthemum Guan, this fellow's cold energy acts as a strong counter to yours. Leave him to me!"

As he spoke, the fifth soul ring on Ghost Douluo emitted an eerie glow. Black mist lingered around his entire body, and a sixty-meter-diameter rotating black-and-red energy field was released with Ghost Douluo's true body at its center. Appearing alongside it were over a hundred black figures that were identical to Ghost Douluo's true body.

Swish!

More than a hundred figures surged forward simultaneously. Every single figure moved with incredible speed, making them extremely difficult to capture with the naked eye, let alone finding Ghost Douluo's true body among them.

"Your opponent is me!"

Just as Ghost Douluo was about to approach Camus, a booming voice rang out, followed by countless bolts of lightning sweeping across the high sky.

The black figures transformed by Ghost Douluo instantly turned into nothingness under the sky-full lightning. Even Ghost Douluo's true body was struck by several lightning rays in succession, staggering back a few steps.

The person who made the move was naturally Aiolia, the only one among the several Titled Douluo of the Nine Stars Palace possessing the lightning attribute. After neutralizing Ghost Douluo's fifth soul skill, Aiolia did not stop. His martial soul manifested into its true form, transforming into a golden, lightning-surrounded male lion that bared its sharp fangs and lunged fiercely at Ghost Douluo.

Camus also charged forward fiercely, his cold energy transforming into white energy that slammed violently toward Chrysanthemum Douluo like a towering tidal wave.

The Chrysanthemum and Ghost Douluo likewise gave it their all. The four Titled Douluo unleashed their respective soul skills, colliding violently, and the air was filled with a raging clash of turbulent energy.

Because of the influence of Camus's freezing ice energy, Chrysanthemum Douluo's combat strength was greatly discounted. Meanwhile, the lightning attribute attached to Aiolia's martial soul was also Ghost Douluo's nemesis, leaving Ghost Douluo suppressed even more miserably than Chrysanthemum Douluo.

...

The Chrysanthemum and Ghost Douluo, each countered by their opponents, retreated step by step under the attacks of Camus and Aiolia, appearing on the verge of defeat.

"Not good, you two, hurry and make your move to assist Chrysanthemum Guan and Guimei!"

Seeing this situation, the Ghost Leopard Douluo, who had been hiding in the shadows, roared at the Lingyuan Douluo and Sea Turtle Douluo. His figure had already flashed forward like a lightning-fast ghost leopard. Lingyuan Douluo and Sea Turtle Douluo did not hesitate either, each summoning their own martial souls and rushing toward the most intense area of battle.

As an agility-attack-type soul master, Ghost Leopard Douluo's speed was naturally extremely fast. In the blink of an eye, he approached the four engaged in fierce battle, gathering soul power to prepare for an attack on his opponents.

At that moment, a sharp sword aura slashed out from a blind spot. Taken by surprise, Ghost Leopard Douluo was forced back dozens of steps by this sword aura attack.

"Could it be Sword Douluo Chen Xin? Is the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect also coming to muddy these waters?"

As he retreated, the sword-attacked Ghost Leopard Douluo could not help but harbor such doubts. In his cognition, only Sword Douluo Chen Xin of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect could unleash such sharp sword aura attacks.

When he finally steadied his figure and looked closely, he realized that the attacker was not the familiar person he knew, but a completely stranger man, except that the piercing momentum emanating from his entire body was remarkably similar to that of Sword Douluo Chen Xin.

"Such powerful sword intent!"

Sword Douluo Chen Xin, who was also hiding in the shadows, could not help but praise aloud. As a fellow master of the way of the sword, the aura emanating from Shura made his heart itch with eagerness, wishing he could immediately step forward and fight three hundred rounds with him.
