Douluo Continent: The Butterfly, Starting from the Authority of Death

Chapter 121 Xia Die VS Ye Guyi Ji Juechen (Part 1)

"This really surprises me!" Seeing Ye Guyi and Ji Juechen get into fighting stance, Xia Die showed a rare look of surprise.

Ji Juechen is level 59, and Ye Guyi is level 57.

Ji Juechen possesses innate soul power at level three. Judging from the black longsword that combines his martial soul with meteorite iron, his martial soul has undergone several transformations.

Xia Die had previously refined a pill for Ji Juechen to clear his mind and enhance his comprehension speed, but she was still quite surprised by his cultivation speed.

At 19 years old, Ji Juechen, a member of the class of '59, was still far behind Ma Xiaotao, who was in class of '67, but he climbed up step by step.

As for Ye Guyi, it's unclear whether it was when she joined the Fire Chasing Pavilion that she resolved some of her inner conflicts with those members of the Holy Spirit Cult who were brought by Zhang Peng.

I know that many people were forced to join the Holy Spirit Cult because of external circumstances.

They won't start shouting for battle just because they see a martial soul that's not right.

In addition, he dealt with some Holy Spirit Cult strongholds in Mingdu during this period, which greatly increased his strength.

15 years old, level 57.

"It looks like it's going to be a good battle." Xia Die's fingertip released the Netherworld Butterfly, which quickly transformed into purple energy and took shape.

To become a sickle.

After a year of analyzing the rules of the world, the Butterfly no longer needs the Blade of Life to fully condense a stable Reaper's Scythe.

A scythe, slightly taller than Xia Die, appeared in her hand, and a faint aura of death surrounded Xia Die.

"We'll attack first." Ji Juechen vanished with a whoosh, leaving behind a trail of afterimages.

As he ran, one spirit ring after another lit up.

His muscles and lines were becoming more powerful at a visible speed.

"cut"

Ji Juechen appeared beside Xia Die, his black sword sweeping out horizontally, creating layers of strong wind.

"Clang"

Xia Die raised her right hand slightly, using the Grim Reaper's Scythe to block the attack from Ji Juechen.

The two sides clashed, and weapons collided.

The energy of annihilation and death pervades.

Centered on the ground beneath your feet, the surrounding area is cracked in layers.

"not good."

Jing Hongchen was shocked and instinctively tried to take out his soul tool to block the aftershocks.

"I'll do it."

Wang Xian'er's voice rang out, and she gently raised her delicate hand.

A hemispherical barrier quickly formed, covering an area of ​​100 meters around Xia Die and the other two.

The scattered aftershocks touched the spherical barrier, creating gentle ripples before dissipating.

"This...this is a soul skill?" Jing Hongchen exclaimed in surprise.

"A Soul Master's power isn't limited to Soul Skills," Wang Xian'er said casually. "It's about having sufficient control over one's own power and enough mental strength."

"For someone of my level, creating my own soul skill isn't a difficult thing."

"Uh—" Jing Hongchen's lips twitched.

Does that sound like something a healing soul master would say?

Jing Hongchen is not a Super Douluo, but he fought with Wang Xian'er and could sense that her power was more restrained, even seemingly effortless.

"Alright, let's watch the battle inside!"

Of course, Wang Xian'er wouldn't say that if it weren't for the cultivation method Xia Die gave her, which allowed her to gain a deeper understanding of spiritual power, she might not have been able to achieve this even after several years or more than a decade, let alone a year of stabilization.

"Who do you think will win?" Jing Hongchen asked subconsciously.

"Do you need to think about this answer?" Wang Xian'er looked at Jing Hongchen speechlessly.

"Well, that's true!" Jing Hongchen chuckled.

The barrier only isolates energy impacts, but it does not isolate sound or other stimuli.

After being blocked by Xia Die, Ji Juechen immediately changed his move.

He was like a ghostly figure, constantly flashing around Xia Die.

Seizing the opening, he immediately thrust out his sword, becoming almost one with the sword in his hand.

The Soul King's Soul Power alone, when unleashed, already surpassed this level.

Xia Die took two steps back, sidestepped the sword that was about to pierce her, and then used the Death Scythe to deflect it.

Xia Die kept dodging, seemingly without any intention of retaliating, but each time she managed to make Ji Juechen's attacks miss.

"interesting."

A hint of surprise flashed in Xia Die's eyes.

The fusion of spiritual power and soul power has even allowed them to subtly connect with the primordial energy of heaven and earth.

"According to this world's way of speaking."

"This season's Juechen is already very close to reaching the Domain level!"

Xia Die continued to parry Ji Jue's fierce and relentless attacks, but each block seemed to anticipate the opponent's path. Although she was constantly retreating, her steps were perfectly steady.

Even the death element of the scythe is only attached to the surface of the scythe for defensive purposes.

Fourth Soul Skill - Holy Light Spirit Array

Second Soul Skill - Holy Spirit Slash

A fiery, sacred energy rose from the other side, filling the entire space with a divine aura.

Two sword energies flew straight out and headed directly towards Xia Die's face.

"I remember that the Divine attribute should also be able to restrain Ji Juechen."

"What is she trying to do?"

Xia Die showed no panic in the face of the cross-shaped slash that came from the side.

With a sweep of his scythe, the blade emitted a purple death element.

The energy it emitted devoured the sacred energy set up by Ye Guyi and forced Ji Juechen's continuous attacks back.

Ji Juechen took several steps back, a trickle of blood spilling from the corner of his mouth, and his hand gripping the sword hilt went slightly numb.

Ji Juechen's eyes were filled with disbelief.

Even without using the same abilities that Xia Die had used against Limit Douluo a year ago, her physical strength was enough to force him back, despite having five spirit rings.

Those are five amplification buffs.

Despite not becoming a Soul King, he possesses such physical strength.

However, what happened next left Ji Juechen in disbelief.

Xia Die gently raised her fair palm and attacked from the side, Ye Guyi's second soul skill touched her.

It was not injured and served no other purpose.

The soul skill released by Ye Guyi dissipated immediately.

"impossible!"

Ye Guyi exclaimed in surprise.

The Holy has a counter to all similar death attributes, and even a stable death element like the Butterfly should be somewhat countered.

But what did Xia Die just do? She simply reached out and decomposed the sacred element.

That's right, it's decomposition. If it's just about using the power of death to erase things, then it's not a big deal.

For example, water can extinguish fire, but it's normal that a bucket of water poured into a fire won't create a ripple.

But now—

Xia Die slowly lowered her fair hand, her voice calm: "Gu Yi, do you remember what I told you?"

"All energy possesses life attributes, and the energy released through a martial soul is no more stable than that of a soul tool."

"Holy can be considered a superior alternative to the Light attribute."

"You can understand it as light + life, combined to form a divine attribute, which is closer to an order than a simple element."

In Douwu.

Tang San used life element to enchant a weapon with the light attribute, thus obtaining a weapon with the holy attribute.

Xia Die looked quietly at Ye Guyi, her voice clear and melodious: "The composition is actually quite complex to analyze. Even if you can use your martial soul to explain it, I'm afraid you would find it difficult to understand."

"I will extract the part of your life that constitutes the divine attribute from your released soul skill, thereby destroying the divine attribute."

As soon as Xia Die finished speaking, the aura of death that had been lingering around her quickly disappeared, and at the same time, a pure life force appeared.

"The same power as the Immortal Physician?" Ye Guyi asked in surprise.

"You can think that way too," Xia Die said without arguing.

Although Wang Xian'er's understanding of death and life was as vast as the universe at her fingertips compared to hers, Xia Die wasn't someone who liked to show off these things.

The scythe formed from the elements of death on Xia Die's right hand had not dissipated.

Instead, it gradually becomes filled with the breath of life.

"This is!?"

Ye Guyi found it hard to believe.

She clearly sensed the presence of death; the chilling coldness had vanished, replaced by the aura of life.

Or rather, sacred?

"Lord Ye Guyi, power is just power. Once you understand its composition, it's not difficult to analyze."

"Alright, let's begin round two!"

"This time, my death attribute will no longer be countered by the holy attribute."
