Douluo V: Taking advantage of Xiao Wu's youthful innocence, I tricked her into becoming my wife

"What?!" Liu Zheng was shocked and stumbled seven or eight steps before regaining his balance.

His right leg was numb, and the skin was even scorched.

Huo Wu withdrew her hand, her expression cold and stern.

"What an honor!"

Liu Zheng's smile faltered, he stomped his numb right foot, and his gaze darkened.

"Hmph, I underestimated you. You actually have this trick up your sleeve!"

"Pretending to bow, but it turned out to be a sneak attack," Huo Wu sneered. "Your Wind Sword Sect is truly an eye-opener."

"On the stage, the winner takes all," Liu Zheng said with a sneer, not bothering to pretend. "It's all your fault for being too naive."

Before he finished speaking, he moved again!

Unlike his previous test, this time he was truly intent on killing!

Fourth Soul Skill [Rending Wind Sword Dance] activated!

Sword light rained down, accompanied by wind blades that tore through the air, and attacked Huo Wu!

However, Huo Wu advanced instead of retreating!

"Do you think I'm easily frightened!"

"Fire dances under the blazing sun."

The fireball and the sword energy collided, resulting in a fierce battle with deafening roars.

The heatwave emanating from it distorted the air within a radius of several feet!

clap clap clap!

The sword energy exploded!

In the end, Fire Dance was the better choice!

The fireball, trailing a fiery tail, hurtled towards Liu Fengyi!

The flagstones along the way were cracked from the heat, and the flames streaked across the air, even making a piercing crackling sound!

Liu Zheng's pupils contracted sharply; the intense heat that rushed towards him made his scalp tingle!

Is this guy a Soul Emperor?!

But he had no time to think. He held the sword horizontally across his chest and poured all his soul power into the sword!

"Fifth Soul Skill, One Sword Splits the Heavens!"

*Sizzle!*

The longsword slashed upwards, and the sword energy collided fiercely with the fireball.

A deafening explosion resounded on the arena, and the shockwave caused the soul power barrier to flicker!

Amidst the billowing smoke and dust, Liu was jolted by the force of the impact, his hands going numb and cold sweat beading on his forehead.

Although the fireball was cleaved in two, his sword aura was also burned and cracked, nearly collapsing.

Before he could even catch his breath, he heard a soft, ethereal sound from the other side—

That's it?

Amidst the smoke and dust, Huo Wu slowly emerged.

His clothes were intact, and his breathing was steady.

I didn't even sweat!

Liu Zheng was dumbfounded, "You—"

"It's my turn." Huo Wu didn't give him a chance.

The five and six rings light up!

"Fire Spirit!"

"Earthfire Beast!"

"Come out and help!"

Two beams of light shot out from the soul ring!

To the left is a colossal beast, entirely crimson with limbs treading on fire, roaring deafeningly!

On the right is a humanoid figure formed purely of flames, with blurred features and its entire body burning with pale golden flames.

It was none other than the Earth Flame Beast and the Fire Spirit!

Fire Spirit grants Huo Wu a fifth Soul Skill, personally selected by Tianmeng Bingcan, specializing in fire control!

"A soul?" Liu Fengyi was shocked.

Fang Cai Feng Xiaotian didn't use his soul much, so he didn't feel any terror from it.

But now, he could feel the savage aura emanating from that giant beast!

A genuine 50,000-year-old soul beast!

The oppressive feeling sent chills down his spine!

However, the Earth Flame Beast roared and charged at him before he could even react!

Boom!

Liu Zheng hurriedly raised his sword to block, but was sent flying by the impact.

His back slammed against the soul power barrier, and blood seeped from the corner of his mouth.

Just as he was about to steady himself, Huo Ling raised his arms.

Whoohoo!

Hundreds and thousands of fireballs, each the size of a fist, condensed from its palm.

Like a swarm of bees set ablaze, they came crashing down from all directions!

Liu Zheng rolled around in a disheveled manner, unleashing a series of sword strikes that shattered more than a dozen fireballs.

But more fireballs exploded, forcing him to retreat repeatedly.

The hem of his robe was burned with a hole, the ends of his hair were scorched and curled, and he was covered in soot and dirt, with no trace of composure left!

Huo Wu, however, leaned against the railing at the edge of the ring, arms crossed, calmly watching the fight.

Guan Xing l Tiao Γ�

"My God, is she watching a show?"

"While her opponent was being chased and beaten, she just stood there enjoying the view!"

"This is true crushing!"

Liu Zheng was chased all over the arena by Huo Ling, rolling around in his ears, with Guan Xietan and Nie Xiao all around him.

His face flushed red, and he was filled with resentment.

It seems we still have to rely on the backup plan given by the Grand Elder!

He gritted his teeth and slammed his hand down on his waist!

Zheng—

A longsword, entirely silver-white, sprang out from the inside of his belt!

The moment the sword was drawn, the air seemed to freeze, and a sharp sword aura shot out, shattering the fireball into pieces!

The remaining sword energy rushed towards Huo Wu, and the Earth Flame Beast quickly stepped in front of her.

With a roar, a wall of fire rose up, forcefully blocking the sword energy.

But a few stragglers managed to hit the Earth Flame Beast, causing it to roar in pain!

The fire spirit, being fragile, also hid behind the earth fire beast.

They attempted to use flames to create a protective shield, forming a second line of defense.

However, the sword energy continued relentlessly, and the protective shield couldn't hold for long!

"What is this?!" Ning Rongrong exclaimed in surprise.

Ning Fengzhi shook his head slightly, "It should be the Wind Sword Sect's treasure, the Azure Nether Sword!"

"It is said to possess the sword energy of successive sect leaders, making it exceptionally powerful!"

"This doesn't seem like something you'd use for a friendly sparring match!" Dugu Bo's face darkened.

On the arena, Liu Zheng gripped the Green Destiny Sword tightly, a ruthless glint in his eyes.

"Fire Dance, you're really something."

"But you underestimate the strength of my Wind Sword Sect!"

With that, the Green Destiny Sword erupted!

Sword energy soared to the sky, directly piercing the heavens.

The grandstand was filled with shrewd and incompetent people.

"What's this! Do you need external tools for sparring?"

"Hmph, Huo Wu didn't even use a soul tool!"

"They clearly can't accept defeat!"

Hu Qian's face lit up with joy, "Brother Feng, your sect is truly willing to go to great lengths!"

"With this sword, victory is assured!"

The three sects in the Star Luo Empire were engaged in open and covert struggles for resources.

In his youth, he also suffered at the hands of the Green Destiny Sword, his arm almost being severed.

Once this sword energy is released, that little girl will be either dead or crippled!

Feng Chang sneered, "This is what happens when you underestimate your opponent!"

"Our sect has brought out its most prized treasure; your sect must also have something to offer in return."

"Don't worry," Hu Qian patted his chest, "Our sect will play in the next round, and we guarantee you'll be in for a big surprise!"

Feng Chang looked at him and said, "That's for the best."

On the arena, the Earth Rock Beast and the Fire Spirit were already showing signs of weakness under the onslaught of sword energy.

They were no longer physically powerful soul beasts, but soul spirits that needed the support of their host's soul power.

"Fire Dance!" Shui Bing'er decisively released her martial soul, and her sixth soul ring faintly lit up!

"Sixth Soul Skill, Heavenly Frost Hour—"

"Don't rush."

A fair, delicate hand pressed against her shoulder.

Shui Bing'er turned around and met his calm eyes.

Dugu Yan shook her head slightly, her gaze fixed on something not far away.

Shui Bing'er followed her gaze and saw Ye Hua sitting on the podium, calmly drinking tea.

Shui Bing'er paused for a moment, then pursed her lips and withdrew her soul power.

On the arena, facing a sky full of sword energy, Huo Wu finally left the fence.

She observed carefully; the sword energy was powerful, but clearly not fully unleashed, with an extremely long forward swing.

So why should she be afraid?

Huo Wu stretched, her joints making a soft clicking sound.

"Sixth Soul Skill—"

Her sixth soul ring suddenly lit up!

The flames, like the tides of the flood season, shot up from the ground and fell back down from the sky.
