Douluo Continent II: The Peerless Tang Sect: Starting with a Bond to God King Tang San

Chapter 280 Meng Hongchen vs. Huo Yu

Just as the ice blocks were about to run out, Xiao Hongchen suddenly shouted, his soul power erupted, and the golden shield shone brightly, shattering the last few ice blocks.

His face was somewhat pale; the attack had just taken a heavy toll on him, but the fighting spirit in his eyes remained undiminished.

"Deng Mu, don't think you can defeat me with these tricks!" Xiao Hongchen roared through gritted teeth, his face pale.

He quickly put the defensive soul tool back to his waist, and then took out a uniquely shaped soul cannon from his storage soul tool.

This soul-guided cannon is silver-gray in color, with a cold blue light flashing from its muzzle. It is covered with intricate patterns, making it clearly extraordinary.

Xiao Hongchen locked his gaze on Deng Mu, and with a thought, the muzzle of the Soul Guidance Cannon instantly shot out a thick beam of blue energy, like a blue meteor, carrying destructive power as it shot towards Deng Mu.

Wherever the beam of light passed, the air was violently compressed, emitting a piercing shriek.

Deng Mu felt the powerful energy rushing towards him, his gaze sharpened, and the ice elements in the air began to gather frantically. In the blink of an eye, a giant ice shield made up of countless layers of thin ice appeared in front of him.

The ice shield was crystal clear, yet it exuded a chilling aura.

"Boom!" The blue energy beam slammed into the ice shield, unleashing a deafening roar.

The ice on the surface of the ice shield melted rapidly, turning into billowing white mist, but thanks to its multi-layered structure, it still managed to barely withstand the attack.

However, the powerful impact still sent Deng Mu flying backward several meters through the air.

Deng Mu thought to himself that it had been so long since they last met, and Xiao Hongchen's soul tool had improved a lot. He was sure that Xiao Hongchen's confidence would skyrocket in the way he was in now.

Seeing that Deng Mu was not seriously injured despite being repelled, Xiao Hongchen frowned and activated the Soul Guidance Cannon again.

The Soul Guidance Cannon emitted a deep hum, and the blue light from its muzzle became increasingly dazzling. Then, three blue beams of varying thickness but with even greater energy shot towards Deng Mu in a triangular formation.

The instant the beam of light struck, Deng Mu condensed three enormous ice pillars in front of him at an incredible speed, their surfaces shimmering with an eerie luster.

"Boom boom boom!" The ice pillars and the blue beam of light collided violently. In an instant, the arena was filled with light, and the powerful energy impact caused the surrounding ground to crack inch by inch.

Using the recoil from the explosion, Deng Mu nimbly flipped through the air and rushed towards Xiao Hongchen, instantly closing the distance between them.

Xiao Hongchen was startled. Before he could make any further move, Deng Mu moved his mind, and a thick layer of ice quickly condensed on the ground, centered on Xiao Hongchen. Countless sharp ice spikes suddenly stood up on the ice and stabbed swiftly towards Xiao Hongchen.

Xiao Hongchen reacted extremely quickly, immediately taking out a disc-shaped soul tool from his storage soul tool.

The disc spun rapidly, releasing ripples of golden energy that collided with the ice spikes.

The clanging sounds were incessant as the ice spikes were continuously shattered by the energy ripples, turning into countless ice shards.

But Deng Mu did not stop there; the ice elements in the air surged wildly once again.

Suddenly, countless huge ice blocks appeared in the sky, like small mountains, and crashed down towards Xiao Hongchen.

Xiao Hongchen's expression turned serious as he watched the ice blocks falling from the sky.

He quickly controlled the soul-guided cannon, firing several blue energy beams into the sky in an attempt to shatter the ice blocks.

However, there were many ice blocks, and although many were shattered by the beam, a few still broke through the defenses and crashed down on him.

Xiao Hongchen flashed away, quickly dodging.

A piece of ice grazed the corner of his clothes, and the powerful impact smashed into the ground, creating a huge crater.

Just as Xiao Hongchen was dodging the ice, Deng Mu seized the opportunity, gathered all his soul power, and formed an ice longsword in his hand.

Holding an ice sword, he charged towards Xiao Hongchen like a black lightning bolt.

Just as Xiao Hongchen regained his footing, he saw Deng Mu already attacking him.

He had a bad feeling and wanted to take out his defensive soul tool to defend himself, but the next second a sword was at his neck.

"Admit defeat, Laughing at the world."

Deng Mu looked at Xiao Hongchen in front of him and spoke.

It's pointless now, and he's had enough of it and doesn't want to continue.

Xiao Hongchen gritted his teeth, his eyes filled with resentment, but looking at the ice sword held to his neck, he knew that there was no way to turn the tide.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, he slowly lowered the soul-guided cannon in his hand and said in a deep voice, "I concede."

Xiao Hongchen truly hadn't expected that Deng Mu's strength would become even more terrifying after so much time had passed.

This time, he didn't use any soul skills; he simply controlled the ice to fight him.

Xiao Hongchen knew very well that as long as Deng Mu was in the Tang Sect, they had no chance of winning against the Tang Sect team.

After Xiao Hongchen conceded defeat, Meng Hongchen couldn't wait to come up and fight Deng Mu.

"I surrender."

"Deng Mu, why did you admit defeat!"

When Meng Hongchen saw Deng Mu admit defeat, she was very unhappy and asked Deng Mu for advice.

The latest novel is first published here!

She also wanted to try her luck with Deng Mu and see what he was capable of.

Deng Mu scratched his face and said, "Well, I want to give my other teammates a chance to play."

Meng Hongchen pouted, clearly not satisfied with the answer, but she didn't say anything more.

Huo Yutong chose to enter the arena, facing off against Meng Hongchen.

Hello, Meng Hongchen.

"Hello, Huo Yutong."

Huo Yutong greeted Meng Hongchen with a smile.

Meng Hongchen crossed her arms and looked at Huo Yutong with some displeasure.

When Deng Mu returned to the rest area, Bei Bei came over and asked, "Deng Mu, why do I feel like that girl named Meng Hongchen likes you?"

Hearing Bei Bei's words, Deng Mu looked at Bei Bei with some surprise, not expecting that she had guessed it.

Deng Mu thought for a moment and denied it, saying, "No, you must have misunderstood."

Beibei raised an eyebrow and looked at Deng Mu with a teasing expression: "Oh, still not admitting it? I saw it clearly. The way she looked at you was different from how she looked at others. I'm very good at judging people. I can tell who's interested in whom at a glance."

Deng Mu rolled his eyes at Bei Bei, thinking to himself, "If you're so good at judging people, why didn't you realize that Senior Sister likes you?"

At this moment, the battle between Huo Yutong and Meng Hongchen had already begun on the field.

Deng Mu and Bei Bei chatted while watching Huo Yutong and Meng Hongchen fight on the competition stage.

"Wow, that's intense."

"really."

Hearing Beibei's exclamation, Deng Mu nodded in complete agreement.

The fight was indeed very intense, but something felt off, though he couldn't quite put his finger on what it was.

The others watching Huo Yutong and Meng Hongchen fight also found it particularly intense, and everyone assumed that it was because they didn't want to lose that they were fighting so fiercely.

"Emmm, what's wrong with my sister today?" Xiao Hongchen looked at Meng Hongchen fighting and muttered to himself in confusion.
