Douluo Sharingan, I really didn't coerce Xiao Wu!

Chapter 68 Severely Injures the Soul Emperor

"Um?"

Suddenly, the bald man stopped, feeling as if he had stepped on something strange. He lifted his foot and saw a cool, sharp weapon on the ground, very similar to a dagger.

"This looks like a weapon that kid just threw away." The bald man didn't pay much attention and was very relaxed, kicking it away with a casual kick.

Suddenly, a yellow flash appeared before their eyes, and a figure appeared out of thin air, wielding a long knife and thrusting forward with swift movements.

"Um!"

The change happened too fast; the bald man hadn't anticipated it and had no time to react. He could only watch helplessly as the blade drew closer and closer, aiming to pierce his chest and kill him instantly.

"You think you can kill me so easily? Not so easy!"

He roared, his whole body bursting with white light, his soul power disrupting the airflow, forcibly changing the position of the blade tip, shifting it slightly to the side.

With a soft thud, blood splattered as the longsword pierced the bald man's body.

However, the sword missed his heart; it only pierced his chest and lodged between his ribs.

Chen Xuan was speechless, somewhat unwilling. Such a swift sneak attack, yet the opponent still managed to evade a fatal blow, even under circumstances of carelessness.

Even though he was unwilling to give up, he failed to deliver the final blow and immediately used the Flying Thunder God Technique to teleport away.

brush!

The very next second after he disappeared, a beam of light shot out, piercing through his afterimage. With a deafening boom, the forest exploded, flames shot into the sky, and a deep crater was blasted into the ground.

"That was close." Chen Xuan was still shaken. Luckily, he retreated immediately, otherwise that beam of light would have definitely pierced his body, which would have been dangerous.

The bald man knelt on the ground, his hand covering his chest, blood dripping from between his fingers onto the ground.

The tearing pain contorted his face, making him look somewhat ferocious. Even though the sword hadn't killed him, it had severely injured him, piercing his lungs and causing massive internal bleeding.

Fortunately, at the Soul Emperor level, his vitality is strong, and his Martial Soul is special, possessing a certain degree of regenerative ability; otherwise, he would have perished here today.

The bald man's face was gloomy. He was a Soul Emperor of level 69, just one step away from becoming a Soul Saint, yet he was seriously injured by a mere Soul Sect Master. It was a disgrace, an immense disgrace.

If the world knew, how could he possibly have the face to remain in the world of Soul Masters?

"Boy, I will kill you today! I swear I will not rest until I kill you!" The bald man roared to the sky, consumed by rage.

"Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique".

Just as he roared, a huge fireball, seven or eight meters in diameter, burst out from the dark forest and crashed head-on into him.

Chen Xuan didn't run away; he rushed back and was about to fight back.

The bald man's face was grim. He spat out a beam of light that collided with the oncoming fireball, causing it to explode with a loud bang.

The flames were engulfed by the white light, clearly indicating that his soul skill was superior.

Chen Xuan quickly formed hand seals and fired two more powerful fireballs, which, carrying intense heat, shot along the ground.

In fact, his best option was to use this time to escape rather than return. Even a severely injured Soul Emperor should not be underestimated, as he would fight desperately.

However, he refused to leave, determined to fight back and eliminate his opponent even if the chances were slim.

Chen Xuan also had a burning anger inside him, though he didn't know why.

The thought of the bald man staring at Zhu Zhuqing and Yiyi with extremely lewd eyes and even trying to possess them made him feel irritated and unhappy.

Chen Xuan couldn't explain why, but one thing was certain: he wanted to retaliate. Even if he didn't kill the man, he wanted to make the bald man lose half his life here.

The forest fire raged fiercely, igniting large trees and bushes, and the intense heat could be felt even from dozens of meters away.

The bald man channeled his soul power, forcefully cleaved through the sea of ​​fire, and emerged from it.

He bandaged his wound simply; his shirt was torn into strips and wrapped around his chest with a bandage, but it was still bleeding, and the bandage was already stained red.

He didn't notice that there was a small black character in the torn bandages of his clothes.

"Kid, you've done well. You've successfully angered me. If I don't skin you alive today, I'm not human." The bald man's face was so gloomy it could drip water, and he was furious.

"You weren't even human to begin with," Chen Xuan said.

The bald man's eyes were incredibly cold, as if he were looking at a dead man. At this moment, the soul power in his body was boiling to its peak, and a black soul ring appeared under his feet.

A white dragon attached itself to his body, creating a vast expanse of white. Scales appeared on his arms, and blades of light swirled around them.

Chen Xuan did not act rashly. There were some kunai hidden nearby, so he could act according to the situation.

"die!"

Suddenly, the bald man moved. Another black spirit ring appeared beneath his feet. He waved his hands, and a surge of powerful spirit energy poured forth, condensing into a sharp white blade.

Blades of light danced, sword energy blazed like rainbows, a flurry of sword light and shadow swept forward in a fierce battle.

The cold sword light intertwined, densely packed, and Chen Xuan was stunned, motionless, and was instantly engulfed.

The sword energy spread out in waves, sweeping in all directions and covering an area of ​​more than 20 meters. Nearby old trees and flowers were directly torn apart by the sword light, demonstrating terrifying power.

Wherever the sword energy passed, the soil was ripped up. However, after the storm of light blades ended, no pieces of flesh and blood were left behind, only a piece of torn wood.

"Damn it, what's going on!" The bald man's face was gloomy. As a Soul Emperor, he had failed time and time again, being played by a mere Soul Sect Master, and he couldn't even figure out the other party's escape route.

This made him feel incredibly frustrated. He had immense fighting power but nowhere to unleash it. When he was at full strength, he could rival a Soul Saint, but no matter how strong his attacks were, they couldn't even touch this kid. What good was that?

"What did you do? Why is my soul skill always a step behind yours?" the bald man roared in frustration.

After his attacks missed repeatedly, he realized that Chen Xuan was acting strangely and must have used some kind of unusual soul skill. However, he had considered many abilities of agility-type soul masters, but none of them matched.

The previous attacks almost hit their targets each time, but all of them missed.

At that extremely close distance, even a Contra expert wouldn't be able to avoid it, yet this kid managed to do it.

Chen Xuan's method was clearly not a sprint at extremely high speed, but more like jumping from one place to another space.

Upon realizing this possibility, the bald man's expression became extremely solemn, and his heart pounded with fear. If it was a spatial soul skill, then everything would make sense. With the ability to traverse space, one could naturally avoid even the closest distance.

There are only a handful of people on the entire continent who possess spatial soul skills, and each of them has cultivated to an extremely powerful level.

These Soul Masters are extremely difficult to deal with, possessing both super-fast speed and considerable combat power.

Whether it is or not, we'll find out by testing them.

The bald man took action, his arms flashing with white light. With a wave of his hand, a wave of light blades swept out, sword energy like a rainbow, slashing towards Chen Xuan.
