This move is a copy of his two fourth soul skills to some extent—Spirit Soil Shaping and Spirit Abyss Waterfall.

boom! boom!
The immense force of the Earth-Yang Lightning condensed first slammed into the lava barrier.

Like a heavy hammer striking rock, the barrier trembled violently, sparks flew from the lava patterns on it, and fragments of yellowish-brown lightning scattered everywhere.

But the barrier did not collapse; instead, it became like a bottomless abyss, constantly absorbing and transforming the raging earth and thunder power.

Almost at the same instant, the chilling penetrating force of the Water Elemental Lightning crashed into the indigo water curtain.

The water curtain rippled violently, and countless ice crystals exploded and flew at the point of impact. However, the water curtain itself was extremely resilient, and the ripples spread out in circles, weakening and dissolving the all-pervasive corrosive power of the Yin Lightning layer by layer.

Even more strangely, the two divine swords hummed and trembled, faintly emitting a sucking sound.

Each of the two protective barriers absorbed about 30% of the energy from the two bolts of Yang lightning. They forcibly refined and compressed this portion of soul power, transforming it into pure primordial energy that flowed back into the arms holding the sword. This instantly replenished some of the energy consumed by Chen Xiaojun during his defense, and even made his own aura more condensed.

The defensive posture has not yet ended, but the counterattack is already brewing!
Chen Xiaojun's eyes were icy cold; the shift between offense and defense happened in an instant.

He suddenly pulled the Ganjiang sword from behind the lava barrier in his right hand, the blade wrapped with the earth elemental energy that he had absorbed and transformed earlier, making it even more potent.

Without any fancy moves, he flicked his wrist and thrust it into the ground, then flicked it upwards at an angle—the Yin-Yang Sword Technique's "Earth Vein Shaking Mountain Strike".

The ground where Gan Jiang's sword had pierced seemed to come alive.

A grotesque spike, nearly two meters thick and composed of dark red lava, burst forth from beneath Tang Xu's feet without warning, carrying terrifying power and a temperature high enough to melt refined gold.

The magma, carrying fragments of boulders, shot skyward, while at the same time, an invisible yet heavy shockwave of pure power, like a massive wall being pushed forward, rolled out in a fan shape centered on the Ganjiang sword.

The Moye sword in his left hand also did not stop.

The sword tip touched the ground slightly the instant the indigo water curtain dissipated.

The portion of the water-based yang and yin-based lightning power that had previously been absorbed and dissolved by the water curtain underwent a transformation under the influence of the sword's cold aura—"Soul Abyss Thousand Waves Guide"!
A chilling, soul-corroding mist, which was not a physical stream of water but rather something between energy and spirit, spread out silently.

In the cold mist, shadowy figures appeared, and countless twisted and painful illusions shrieked as they arose, accompanied by a chilling sensation that pierced the depths of Tang Xi's soul, like an invisible ghostly hand grabbing at her mental sea!

These two single-sword finishing moves were built upon the defensive buildup of the "Yuanyue Technique".

The power of Earth Yang, borrowing from the earth's veins, counterattacks against the violent and fierce; the power of Water Yin transforms into the erosion of the Soul Abyss, counterattacking against the insidious and penetrating poison.

Tang Xu's expression changed drastically as he faced the sudden eruption of lava spikes beneath his feet and the immense shockwave that swept across him.

He roared and swung his hammer down, while simultaneously unleashing his soul power in his feet in an attempt to withstand the shockwave.

The giant hammer collided with the lava, creating a deafening roar. However, the combined impact forced him off the ground, throwing him diagonally backward. Blood trickled from the corner of his mouth, and the skin on his hand gripping the hammer handle split open, clearly indicating that the violent masculine force had backfired into his body.

Tang Xi on the other side encountered an even more bizarre situation.

The moment the soul-corroding mist enveloped her, her vision suddenly blurred, countless shrill phantoms filled her mind, and a chilling sense of despair surged through her mind and directly assaulted her soul.

She let out a muffled groan of terror mixed with pain, the Haotian Hammer almost slipping from her hand. Her body trembled violently as if she had fallen into an ice cave, and she staggered backward, her face as pale as paper. She had clearly suffered a severe soul injury and yin-type frostbite.

Chen Xiaojun stood still, his two swords pointing diagonally, a scene of utter chaos before him.

The Tang siblings were forcefully slashed away by his targeted counterattack, suffering completely different but equally severe injuries.

These two Yin-Yang sword techniques are similar to the Tang family's Nine Yang Force, which combines three attributes: Earth, Strength, and Yang in "Earth Vein Shaking Mountain Strike" and Water, Spirit, and Yin in "Soul Abyss Thousand Waves Leading". The Yin and Yang are separated, and with the power of destruction and divine erosion, they are quite terrifying.

This is exactly the same as the "Abyss Mountain Technique" of the lava barrier and indigo water curtain, one offensive and one defensive.

Chen Xiaojun's offensive was as smooth as flowing water, without any hesitation.

The instant the Tang siblings were slashed away, his twin swords had already drawn mysterious trajectories in front of him.

The fourth soul ring glowed with a ghostly light, and the yin and yang energies surged from the tip of the sword, instantly condensing in the air into two enormous, millstone-like, materialized magatama.

One was jet black, like a deep pool of ice, with a cold mist pulsating around its edges; the other was as white as molten gold, with scorching heat rolling across its surface—this was the initial form of his fourth soul skill, [Yin Yang Cut], two source jades condensing the ultimate power of Yin and Yang cutting.

As soon as the two large jade talismans took shape, they carried a terrifying power that crushed space. They flew towards Tang Xu and Tang Xi, who were flying backward, one to the left and one to the right, as if they were projectiles that had been predicted!

Life and death crisis!

Although Tang Xu was struggling to breathe after being injured, his strong will to survive and instinct to protect others, while he was in mid-air, forced him to squeeze out the soul power he could barely muster.

His eyes were wide open in anger, his right arm was swollen, and his knuckles gripping the hammer looked like they were about to burst.

Fifth Soul Skill - Sky-Splitting Hammer Explosion!

Amidst the roar, the black light representing the ten-thousand-year soul ring shone brightly.

He used all his strength to smash the Haotian Hammer, which was wrapped in dim lightning, towards the blazing white jade ornament that was hurtling towards him and Tang Xi!
The hammer fell silently. No, the sound was swallowed up by an even more terrifying force!
The moment the Haotian Hammer struck the blazing white jade, the space in front of it shattered silently, like a fragile glass mirror.

A deep, massive spatial rift, its edges swirling with chaotic, distorted fluctuations, suddenly opened.

Immediately following was a muffled roar, suppressed to the extreme, seemingly originating from the depths of the void. A violent energy shockwave, so violent it distorted the vision, erupted and swept out in a fan shape from the point of impact.

【Space-Rending Hammer Explosion】—Preceded by tearing through space, it unleashes a destructive oscillation that transcends the material realm.

Boom——

The terrifying spatial shattering force and destructive energy wave slammed into the rapidly approaching blazing white magatama.

The anticipated cutting and erosion did not occur. The blazing white jade was struck head-on by this twisting and explosive force that exceeded the limits of its structure, and its surface was instantly covered with dense, spiderweb-like cracks.

The next moment, the blazing white magatama completely disintegrated!

The collapse is not the end.

The division has only just begun.

The shattered, bright white jade fragments did not dissipate. Each fragment seemed to possess life, absorbing the yin and yang energies in the space, rapidly splitting, multiplying, and deforming.

Dozens of fragments rapidly transformed in the blasting storm into dozens of black and white magatama, several times smaller in size but with sharper, more concentrated edges.

Worse still, although the jet-black jade that flew toward Tang Xi was not directly hit, it was still within the massive energy radiation range of [Sky-Splitting Hammer Explosion]. Its body also trembled violently, and then followed suit, splitting into an equal number of small black and white jade pieces.

In an instant, the dozens of large magatama that had been forcibly scattered did not disappear. Instead, they completely activated the insidious aftereffects of the [positive and negative yin-yang cut]—multiple fragmentation, arc trajectory, and continuous proliferation.

More than a hundred fist-sized, high-speed spinning black and white magatama, tracing unpredictable arcs, exploded out of thin air like a swarm of dead bees, completely engulfing the Tang siblings, who were still in shock during their backward flight, and the space within a dozen meters around them.

"Oh no!" Tang Xu's heart trembled violently.

He had just forcefully used his fifth soul skill, and was in a state of absolute weakness, with his old strength exhausted and new strength yet to be generated. He almost lost the strength to even raise his arm to block, and could only watch helplessly as the dense cold light rushed towards him.

Most of the attacks that split from the jet-black magatama were directed at him.

"Guard me with the power of the heavens!" At the critical moment, Tang Xi let out a fearful yet resolute shout.

Ignoring her own injuries, she stomped her feet hard to steady herself, even twisting her body as an axis to wield the Haotian Hammer into a blue halo.

The thick flow of soul energy was violently stirred, attempting to establish a rotating barrier around the two of them to provide all-around protection.

Ding ding ding ding——

The rapidly spinning blue hammer shadow and soul power vortex collided violently with the first wave of dense small magatama, emitting a sharp, piercing sound like a sudden storm.

Most of the magatama were knocked away and shattered.

However, the crisis of rupture had already begun.

Each small jade pendant shattered by the Haotian Hammer is like a bomb with its fuse lit, instantly disintegrating and splitting apart again.

It burst from the size of a fist into dozens of smaller, sharp magatama fragments, each only the size of a fingernail.

The number surged several times in the blink of an eye.

The defensive perimeter, which had been barely holding on, was instantly and completely overwhelmed by the explosively multiplying, extremely small, and deadly fragments.

No matter how fast Tang Xi's Haotian Hammer spins, there are still physical gaps in its movement, and its coverage area cannot completely block the supersaturated attack that suddenly changes from "beans" to "flying needles".

Hiss hiss hiss hiss!
The sounds, as subtle as a needle piercing brocade, almost blended together.

Countless tiny fragments of black and white jade, each containing terrifying cutting and penetrating power, penetrated every crevice and finally broke through the gaps in the [Haotian Body Protection]'s defensive force field, which was not truly "absolute."

More fragments pierced through the blind spots created by the incomplete coverage of the defensive perimeter or the stagnation of the attack, and accurately struck the Tang siblings inside the perimeter.

puff!puff!puff!
These tiny fragments slammed into the dark golden energy armor that the two wore, which flickered unpredictably due to the immense force they were bearing—the [Iron-Blooded Overlord Body].

Each impact produced a soft sizzle, like a branding iron scorching flesh, leaving a charred or frosted mark.

Although the fragments were small, the yin-yang dividing power they contained was extremely penetrating. A considerable portion of them still tore through the skin and embedded themselves deeply into the flesh after the golden robe's energy was exhausted.

Blood droplets shot out instantly from Tang Xi's arms, shoulders, back, waist, and abdomen, like fine red sand splashed into the air.

Tang Xu let out a muffled groan as several fragments pierced through his forearm, which he couldn't block in time, leaving a trail of glaring blood.

The blood mist mixed with the remaining black and white energy from the [Yin Yang Cut] formed a chilling red cloud around the two of them.
