Douluo: The Glory of the Peerless Angel

Chapter 18 A One-Sided Battle, The Spider King's Sensation (Part 2)

Five figures, radiant with lightning, formed a circle, constantly shifting their positions to trap Ling Bai in the center. Beams of lightning arrows, shaped from soul power, condensed and shot towards Ling Bai from all directions!

Gazing at the chaotic lightning and arrows, Ling Bai's pupils emitted a golden light comparable to lightning!

One sword, seven slashes!

Each of the seven swords has its own unique sword stance, yet they are arranged precisely according to the seven-pointed star formation!

Advanced version of the first soul skill!

Radiant Spirit Array - Defense!

The seven-pointed star array unfolded, spreading out into the shape of the Big Dipper constellation, perfectly catching every arrow that Chu Qingtian fired!

The Big Dipper constellation pattern has been reversed and wrapped up!

The lightning was forcibly compressed by the Radiant Spirit Array into a thicker, brighter golden arrow, aiming at one of the constantly shifting lightning phantoms!

"How did he know?!"

Chu Qingtian was horrified; the golden arrow had locked onto his very body!

With a one in five chance, how could Ling Bai possibly find him?

luck?

Or ability?

"go!"

Ling Bai shouted coldly, and the golden arrow reflected back at an even faster speed than it had come, bursting into a dazzling light in the dark sky!

"boom--"

The golden arrow drew a beautiful arc, and unsurprisingly, Chu Qingtian was shot and blasted apart!

Of course, at the critical moment, he swapped his position with a lightning shadow, and the lightning shadow took the damage in his place.

You have three more chances.

Ling Bai smiled at Chu Qingtian and held up three fingers. In Chu Qingtian's eyes, this scene was like a countdown from the devil, a countdown that would end when the time was up and he would be chopped up and made into dumplings!

Cold sweat poured down his chin, finally dripping onto the ground. Chu Qingtian and the three lightning shadows stood frozen in place, looking strangely awkward.

We can't win!

It's impossible to defend against!

There's no escaping it!

monster!

Chu Qingtian's mind was filled with the word "monster," a word that others had used to describe him in the past.

Every Shrek Academy student was once a monster in someone else's story, but in this monster-gathering place, only the monster among monsters is qualified to be called a monster!

"Second Soul Skill, Evil-Repelling Slash."

No matter what Chu Qingtian thought, Ling Bai's attack would not stop. A beam of brilliant golden sword energy slashed down, with a clear target: Chu Qingtian's true form!

Here we go again!

This time, Chu Qingtian was finally certain that Ling Bai was not just guessing by luck; he truly had the ability to see through Lei Ying!

Switch positions again!

"boom!"

Two of the four lightning shadows remained, and together with Chu Qingtian's true form, the three identical figures appeared to others like chickens waiting to be slaughtered in a slaughterhouse, awaiting the butcher's bloody knife to fall!

"boom--"

The same sword energy, the same explosion!

Chu Qingtian has only one last lightning bolt left!

Du Weilun, who had been watching the battle from the sidelines for a while, suddenly spoke to Zhang Lexuan beside him: "Lexuan, don't you think Ling Bai's perception ability seems particularly strong?"

"Hmm, that's a bit too strong."

Zhang Lexuan agreed with Du Weilun's point of view. Chu Qingtian was known as the fastest in the outer academy. His speed was among the top in the Soul Sect level. No matter which direction or position he changed to, Ling Bai could always predict it in advance.

The prediction was actually inaccurate. Ling Bai had already locked onto Chu Qingtian. The so-called Lei Ying was just a clown jumping around!

Zhang Lexuan continued, "If one's spiritual realm is profound enough, one cannot be deceived by Lei Ying. Although the Six-Winged Angel is strong, its strength lies in its divine attributes, not its spiritual power. Ling Bai's spiritual cultivation is insufficient to break through Lei Ying... Could it be some kind of secret technique of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School?"

"That should be it."

After much thought, Du Weilun realized that Zhang Lexuan's guess seemed the most plausible.

It's not surprising that an ancient sect with a history of ten thousand years would have any fancy secret techniques.

Because of the battle, Ling Bai didn't hear their conversation. In fact, Zhang Lexuan and Du Weilun were both wrong. The Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School had never had such a secret technique before. This was one of his innate talents, originating from his second martial soul, the Death Prison Spider Emperor!

As a divine-level martial soul, the Six-Winged Angel is no ordinary being, as it can rival or even subtly gain the upper hand against the Death Prison Spider King.

In addition to the Rakshasa divine power flowing through its body, the Death Prison Spider King, which has merged with the two top-tier soul beasts, the Death Spider King and the Soul Devouring Spider King, has already reached the pinnacle of the death attribute!

Ultimate death!

The Spider King's three ultimate talents: Spider King Sensing!

Spiderwebs vibrate sub-frequency when struck by external objects. As a spider-type soul beast, the Death Prison Spider King can sense danger in advance. Ling Bai, as a martial soul possessor, transforms into a human radar, able to pinpoint the exact location of anyone within a certain range who harbors murderous intent or hostility towards him!

The Fiery Bone Dragon Vulture, which previously attempted to ambush Ling Bai from behind in the Star Dou Great Forest, and Chu Qingtian, who is now using Thunder Shadow to interfere with Ling Bai, have actually already exposed themselves through the Spider Emperor's perception.

Spider Emperor Sense is Ling Bai's passive talent. Even without releasing the Death Prison Spider Emperor Martial Soul, he can still detect a circular area with a diameter of 100 meters centered on his body. Creatures that want to take advantage of him by surprise can only despair in the face of Spider Emperor Sense.

"One is true, one is false, let's resolve this once and for all."

Ling Bai's eyes reflected Chu Qingtian and the last lingering shadow of lightning, and he roughly figured out Chu Qingtian's level.

There's something there, though not much.

He posed almost no threat to him, so Ling Bai lost interest in continuing the fight!

The second spirit ring shone brightly!

Evil-repelling Slash!

"What happened?"

Chu Qingtian had already prepared for a final stand, but upon seeing the Evil-Repelling Slash, he couldn't help but hesitate.

The golden sword energy was not directed at his main body, nor at the remaining lightning shadow, but rather at the empty earth between them!

"Chance!"

A sharp glint suddenly flashed in Chu Qingtian's eyes. The most prominent advantage of agility-type soul masters is their speed and explosive power, aiming to kill with a single blow! He didn't know if Ling Bai's actions were an accident or a mistake, but he knew that his chance to turn the tide had come!

The first soul skill, Lightning Strike, is activated, lightning crackles beneath the feet, and speed skyrockets!

At the same time, Chu Qingtian's fourth spirit ring, which he had been holding back, finally shone brightly!

"Fourth Soul Skill, Thunderstorm!"

Chu Qingtian roared, as if he had released all the frustration and resentment he had felt in this battle. A large amount of golden lightning gathered on his body, and his originally handsome face was somewhat deformed. His speed, strength, and physical strength were all increased to a higher level, and he was like a wild electric leopard running rampant in the wilderness!

"Go, Brother Chu! Take him down!"

The freshmen from the inner academy who had known him for many years shouted out, and Beibei and Tang Ya couldn't help but clench each other's hands. They could both see that the outcome depended on this one move!

"That was a bit hasty."

Watching Chu Qingtian's desperate attack, the experienced Zhang Lexuan and Du Weilun shook their heads.

Chu Qingtian overlooked a very simple truth: given Ling Bai's demonstrated abilities, how could he possibly make such an absurd mistake as using the Soul Skill "Slash Through the Void"?

As expected, just as Chu Qingtian charged forward with all his might, amidst flashes of lightning and thunder, the golden sword energy suddenly split in two. One part attacked the lightning shadow that was cooperating with Chu Qingtian, while the other part struck Chu Qingtian's main body!

The advanced version of the second soul skill, Evil-Repelling Double-Edged Slash!

The Thunder Shadow was instantly annihilated!

The Evil-Repelling Slash easily pierced through the lightning on Chu Qingtian's body, sending him flying diagonally to the ground where he tumbled a few times.

"I haven't lost yet!"

Chu Qingtian got up with bloodshot eyes. The holy sword energy left a bloody mark on his shoulder, soaking his clothes in blood.

Ling Bai frowned slightly. He had already held back; otherwise, with the combined attack power of the six-winged angel and the angelic holy sword, Chu Qingtian's entire arm would have been severed instantly.

The assessment was over; he didn't want to injure anyone, but he never expected Chu Qingtian to have such courage.

"Radiant Spirit Array - Storm".

As the indifferent words fell, divine power condensed into a towering golden tornado, roaring as it rushed toward Chu Qingtian, who was at his last gasp!

"Ughhhhh!"

A heart-wrenching scream rang out from within the tornado!

Immediately afterwards, moonlight splashed down from the sky, tearing apart the sacred tornado in the most powerful way, and gently placing Chu Qingtian on the ground.

Chu Qingtian slowly opened his tightly closed eyes and touched his entire body.

Arm? Yes!

Legs? Yes!

Second brother? Yes!

Completely unharmed!?

Chu Qingtian realized that his clothes had only been torn, and his previous screams were purely psychological.

Ling Bai stepped forward, extended his hand to Chu Qingtian on the ground, and smiled:

"You flatter me, Brother Chu."
