Douluo Continent: Huo Yuhao's Path of the Knights

Huo Yuhao was surprised by Tian Cejian's actions, but now was not the time to hesitate.

Time is of the essence now; every minute and every second is precious.

Without further ado, the moment the Heavenly Strategy Sword left the protective shield, the young man, carrying the core of the defensive soul tool, immediately rushed towards Director Lin's location.

The spider-like insect was quite intelligent, and it clearly saw through the two's thoughts, so it ignored the Heavenly Strategy Sword and went straight for Director Lin.

It wants to take Director Lin hostage first!

"Fourth Soul Skill! Emperor's Blade!"

The fourth soul skill, which he had just acquired, was released. A layer of purple phantom appeared on the surface of the longsword in Tian Ce Jian's right hand, making it look extremely terrifying.

The long sword slashed down on the back of the spider-like insect.

Click~

The armor that the Soul Guiding Ray could not penetrate actually cracked under the single strike of the Heavenly Strategy Sword!

Unlike Director Lin, Tian Ce Jian, despite having a low soul power level, possesses exceptionally strong combat abilities.

His terrifying strength is only fully revealed in close combat.

This time, however, he was not facing humans, but monsters from outside the world—spider worms!

Even though the Spider Worm is not in good condition now because of Director Lin's previous attack, and its shell has become much more fragile.

But an alien insect is an alien insect; it cannot be described in the normal sense.

The moment the Heavenly Strategy Sword struck its body, the spider-like insect reacted, immediately turning around and thrusting its claws towards the Heavenly Strategy Sword.

The spider-like insects attacked with incredible speed; it would be almost impossible for Tian Ce Jian to dodge their attack on his own!

Fortunately, he was not alone.

Mental shock, mental interference!

Two attacks from the ultimate spirit traversed space and instantly landed in the mind of the alien insect.

The sharp claws paused, giving the Tian Ce Sword a chance to recover.

Tian Cejian adjusted his posture, sidestepped the alien insect's claws at the last second, then gripped the sword with both hands and charged forward.

Second Soul Skill, Third Soul Skill!

Two purple soul rings flickered around the Heavenly Strategy Sword, and the strange energy within them made the already powerful Heavenly Strategy Sword even more terrifying.

puff~

Under the terrifying force of the Heavenly Strategy Sword, the high-grade longsword soul tool in his hand pierced directly into the body of the spider-like insect.

The disgusting green blood splattered onto the Tian Ce Sword, but he was no longer concerned about it at the moment.

The moment his longsword pierced the insect's body, his vision blurred, he lost consciousness, and was sent flying backward.

Huo Yuhao, who had already arrived beside Director Lin and pulled him into the protective shield, also noticed the situation with the alien insects.

It's time-increasing!

Those Zerg can even use time-rise?!

"Sword, activate the protective shield immediately!"

Huo Yuhao shouted at the Tian Ce Sword that had fallen to the ground, but the other side did not respond.

Has he lost consciousness?

Huo Yuhao's heart tightened, because the spider-like insect had already thrown aside the long knife that had pierced his body, and then headed towards the location of the Heavenly Strategy Sword.

However, it seems that the Spider Zerg's movements were slowed down considerably due to the forced activation of the time-up mechanism.

Without a second thought, Huo Yuhao immediately stretched out his hand toward the sky.

"Kabuto!"

Sensing the boy's call, a figure as fast as lightning flew out of the forest and directly into Huo Yuhao's hands.

The Kabuto Insect Device was mounted on the rider's belt, which he almost never left behind, and the Kabuto Armor covered his entire body in the blink of an eye.

"Cast off!"

Cast Off!

Change Beetle!

The masked armor exploded instantly, with many fragments flying straight towards the spider-like insect.

bang~

Staggered by the incoming armor, the spider-like insect immediately turned its gaze to the crimson armor etched into its bloodline.

Upon seeing Huo Yuhao transformed into Kabuto, the Spider-Insect abandoned its plan to finish off Tian Ce Sword and instead charged straight at Kabuto.

The gleaming claws swung horizontally towards the armored insect, but Huo Yuhao ducked to dodge and then delivered a straight punch that struck the insect squarely in the abdomen.

The insect retreated in pain, but its ferocity was further aroused.

puff~

White spider webs shot out from its mouth and rained down on Huo Yuhao.

Huo Yuhao rolled to the side, dodging the incoming spider web, and then took out the Armored Kunai Spear.

Holding the kunai gun in gun mode, Huo Yuhao dodged the sticky spider web while aiming at the mouth of the spider-like insect.

The red laser beams kept landing on the spider-like insect's mouth. With the aid of mental detection and the ultimate spiritual eye, the boy hit the target almost every time.

Soon the spider-like insect also realized something was wrong. Unlike the previous soul-guided rays, the armored kunai spear was causing it considerable damage.

After being hit by the energy ray, the spider-like insects abandoned firing their webs and charged towards Huo Yuhao.

Seeing the spider-like insect rushing straight towards him, Huo Yuhao gripped the handle of the kunai gun in kunai mode and pulled it out forcefully.

A sharp kunai was drawn from it, and the boy, holding the kunai in kunai mode, faced the spider-like insect.

The sharp claws were blocked by the kunai spear. Huo Yuhao suddenly pushed away the alien insect's claws with force, then gripped the kunai and thrust it in with all his might.

The sharp kunai pierced the insect's body, and this time, the spider insect could no longer forcefully use Time Ascension to break free, and could only struggle wildly in pain.

However, the boy forcefully swung the kunai downwards.

Once the wound grows to almost cover half of the spider's body, the spider's fate is sealed.

As the green blood continued to flow away, the struggles of the alien insects in the pool of green blood grew weaker and weaker until they finally stopped struggling altogether.

Huo Yuhao pulled out the kunai, and the silver spirit ring slowly rose from the alien insect's corpse.

Gazing at the silver spirit ring, Huo Yuhao had no intention of absorbing it.

Director Lin and Tian Cejian are both injured and unconscious. It is uncertain whether there are any hidden dangers around them. They need to be moved to a safe place to treat their injuries!

Tian Cejian was his good friend, and Director Lin took the coma seriously in order to protect them.

Huo Yuhao couldn't bring himself to ignore their lives and absorb the alien insect's soul ring by himself.

With this thought in mind, Huo Yuhao put away the kunai spear and also took the high-level longsword soul tool, the Tian Ce Sword.

The boy then hoisted the two of them onto his back and, in his transformed state, flew at full speed toward a nearby town.

With his simulated soul skill, Huo Yuhao didn't have to worry about being targeted by other soul beasts on his way back, nor did he have to worry about being exposed once he reached the town.

Now all he needs to do is get Tian Cejian and Director Lin treated as soon as possible!

Huo Yuhao was very fast, but they were already quite a distance from the nearby towns, making it impossible to arrive in a short time.

Faster! Faster still!

Tian Cejian was alright; his condition wasn't too bad, he had just fallen into a coma. But it was different for Director Lin, who was highly regarded.

Director Lin's condition is currently very bad and he urgently needs treatment!

But at his speed, it would still take him some time to get there.

The boy gritted his teeth inwardly. He didn't have any good ideas right now, unless...

Just like that spider-like alien insect, it forcibly activated the Ascension!
