The Martial Soul Skeleton, in Douluo Continent's Bone-Changing Susanoo

Chapter 70 Ossified Susanoo vs. Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex (Part 2)

Not only Dugu Yan, but even Yu Tianheng, his opponent, couldn't help but tremble. How could he have imagined that Master Xia's full strength was so great?

So how much of a hand did he hold back when he fought Dugu Yan in their soul battle?

However, what no one present knew was that the eight-meter-tall, blackish-purple, complete half-skull was not Xia Liang's full strength.

This state of Ossified Susanoo is merely a half-finished product formed by the superposition of three soul skills. It does not have the effect of one plus one plus one being greater than three, and it consumes a huge amount of soul power.

The true first form of Ossification Susanoo must be supported by the Fusion Ring skill to maintain at least ten minutes of combat time. That is a power that would make even a peak Soul King feel despair.

As his first spirit ring lit up, Yu Tianheng was about to rush towards Xia Liang.

But just as he lifted his foot, Xia Liang suddenly appeared in front of him, the boned Susanoo standing as still as a mountain.

Yu Tianheng subconsciously took two steps back and looked up at the skull of the bone-transformed Susanoo. He found that his Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Martial Soul was completely suppressed. He couldn't even break through the rib defense just now. How could he fight this behemoth now?

"Let's have a fair and even spar."

As he spoke, Xia Liang deactivated his Ossified Susanoo state, and the eight-meter-tall, dark purple half-skull vanished in a flash of light.

It's not that he likes to hold back, but once the Ossified Susanoo appears, it's basically a guaranteed kill.

This is a technique used to kill opponents of higher levels. I originally intended to practice on Yu Tianheng, but it seems that Yu Tianheng is no match for Ossified Susanoo's punch.

At this moment, Yu Tianheng was already somewhat embarrassed and angry. Taking advantage of Xia Liang standing right in front of him, he immediately slammed the Thunder Dragon Claw, which had expanded to three times its original size, onto the ground.

The blue-white lightning covering an area of ​​ten meters instantly condensed into violent white currents that surged toward Xia Liang's location upon his strike.

The moment of attack is when defense is weakest. Just as Yu Tianheng launched his attack, Xia Liang conjured an Iron Bone Blade in his right hand.

At the same time, he raised his left hand forward, and a finger flick the size of a bean shot out from the tip of his index finger.

At that moment, Yu Tianheng was in the attack state of Thunder Dragon Claw slamming the ground, and the two were less than five meters apart, so there was no time to defend themselves.

Caught off guard by the sudden finger flick, Yu Tianheng was hit in the left leg.

Immediately afterwards, Xia Liang fired three more finger flicks from his index finger, hitting Yu Tianheng's right leg, left arm, and right arm respectively.

It seemed as if he had been precisely struck in the numb spot, as Yu Tianheng felt his limbs go limp and he was unable to exert any force.

Fortunately, the Thunder Dragon Claw attack was completed. Although he was restricted in his movements, Master Xia would probably be immobilized by the lightning just like before.

At this moment, a scene that surprised, even horrified, Yu Tianheng appeared.

The blue-white electric currents that were rushing along the ground were suddenly stopped by the black-purple ribs that appeared when they were about to hit Xia Liang.

How could its ribs remain undamaged after absorbing so many of my soul skill attacks?

Just as Yu Tianheng felt helpless, Xia Liang used spatial jump to instantly appear to his right, and slashed upwards with his right Iron Bone Blade.

The sword is swung before the body teleports, so this kind of instantaneous skill is difficult to defend against even if you detect it.

Just as Yu Tianheng was about to make a move, his limbs were temporarily unable to exert any force, and his right dragon claw was struck squarely by the Iron Bone Blade, causing most of the scales on the claw to suddenly burst open.

Xia Liang unleashed a strike with three-tenths of his strength, but drew no blood. He immediately teleported to Yu Tianheng's left and delivered another strike with five-tenths of his strength.

Before Yu Tianheng could react, his left shoulder was slashed by the sharp iron bone blade, and blood bloomed like fireworks.

The sudden pain caused Yu Tianheng to forcefully raise his right dragon claw to cover his slashed left shoulder, making him look extremely disheveled.

Having mastered the art of applying force, Xia Liang's attacks became bolder.

Having already consumed his soul power to gain half an hour of access to the spatial attribute of his third soul skill, he can perform unlimited spatial jumps within a radius of ten meters.

Every time the Iron Bone Blade cuts Yu Tianheng's body and draws blood, he immediately teleports to another location and launches an attack from a different angle.

Right hand, chest, back, right foot—every part of Yu Tianheng's body was enduring the slashes of the Iron Bone Blade.

To outsiders, Xia Liang appears to be constantly teleporting, making him impossible to see.

Yu Tianheng was like a tomato being thrown around, his body being slashed by a chaotic barrage of blades, crimson blood splattering continuously from the cuts.

Seemingly unable to bear the pain of being repeatedly slashed, Yu Tianheng suddenly roared to the sky, and blue-white lightning burst forth from his body, shooting out wildly like bristling hair.

Some lightning bolts struck Xia Liang, but were blocked by the suddenly appearing dark purple ribs. He then charged forward quickly, slashing his sword directly at Yu Tianheng's chest.

However, this strike didn't draw much blood, because most of his combat experience over the past seven years came from fighting spirit beasts. He had fought no more than thirty spirit masters.

There is no standard for measuring the physical strength of other Soul Masters, so when attacking vital parts, Xia Liang certainly did not dare to use his full strength to strike, but only used three-tenths of his strength.

In this soul-fighting sparring session, Xia Liang mainly wanted to learn how to control his strength, since he rarely had the opportunity to fight against soul masters.

Having endured the sudden slash, Yu Tianheng knelt on the ground, his right dragon claw supporting him, panting heavily, blood dripping from every wound on his body.

"Again!" With a sharp shout, Yu Tianheng suddenly stood up, but before he could readjust himself, Xia Liang, who had appeared in an instant, kicked him into the air.

At that moment, a ten-meter-long skeletal left arm grew from the dark purple ribs covering Xia Liang's left side.

The raised skull's left arm bone pressed down on the floating Yu Tianheng, causing him to plummet rapidly to the ground.

Yu Tianheng knew that if he were pressed to the ground by this huge palm bone, the damage he would suffer would be terrifying.

Forced into a corner, he unhesitatingly unleashed his second soul skill, Thunderous Might, from his mouth.

The powerful ray generated a recoil that propelled Yu Tianheng free from the pressure of the skull's left arm bone in mid-air.

At that very moment, the skull's massive left metacarpal bone slammed into the ground like a mountain crashing down, instantly denting the flat ground and sending debris flying.

Upon seeing this, Yu Tianheng, who had just safely landed, turned pale with fright.

Before anyone could react, a skeletal right arm suddenly grew from the ribs covering Xia Liang's right side and grabbed Yu Tianheng's body, lifting him high into the air.

A surge of fiery energy spread wildly from the skull's right shoulder to the metacarpal bone.

Yu Tianheng, who was being tightly gripped by the metacarpal bone, suddenly had a burst of raging black flames erupt from his body.

This is a ghost fire formed by infusing fire energy and a trace of dark element. The intermittent bursts of burns are approaching the damage to the human body caused by the scorching spiritual energy near the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire.

However, the burning power of the black ghost fire was not too terrifying at this time, because it had not yet been combined with the soul-burning attack damage from the undead domain.

Nevertheless, the temperature of the flames was beyond the tolerance of ordinary soul masters. Yu Tianheng screamed in agony amidst the raging black ghost fire, a sound that was extremely eerie.

Dugu Yan and Oslo and the others tensed up in fear, but Ye Lingling remained calm and stood aside, observing the battle between Yu Tianheng and Xia Liang with composure.

As a healing-type Soul Master, she must ensure that she can heal her teammates at the optimal time every time, so she must observe the entire situation in order to make the right decision.
