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

Chapter 68, First Battle

A pair of enormous black wings suddenly spread out from the back of the evil soul master, with a wingspan of two or three meters. The feathers were like sharp steel blades, gleaming with a cold, eerie light. Each flap brought up a foul-smelling gust of wind, scattering the withered leaves on the ground.

"First Soul Skill, Dark Crow Pecking Soul!"

He gave a low shout, and several dark crows, formed from soul power, flew out from his wings.

Its sharp beak, resembling a black cone, lunged straight at Deng Mu and his companions, aiming directly at their throats, temples, and other vital areas. Its speed was as fast as lightning, and wherever it passed, the air seemed to be drawn with black lines.

Upon seeing the Dark Raven's attack, Deng Mu's expression turned stern, and he unhesitatingly unleashed his first soul skill, Life Shield.

Three pale blue lights enveloped themselves, Tang Ya, and Jiang Nannan. In an instant, a protective shield, resembling glass, formed around the three of them, with blue light flowing around it.

The shield withstood the swift impact of the dark raven's sharp, black beak. With a few crisp clangs, the beak struck the shield, creating ripples of soul power, but failed to harm the three people in the slightest.

"Hmph, you've got some skills!"

When the evil soul master saw that Dark Raven's Soul Peck was blocked, his expression darkened, but he wasn't too surprised, since he hadn't expected to defeat his opponent with this first soul skill.

He suddenly waved his hands, and the pair of giant black wings flapped even more rapidly, creating a foul-smelling wind that whipped the surrounding branches wildly and sent sand and stones flying.

"Second Soul Skill, Corrosive Feather Miasma!"

In an instant, the feathers of the dark crows in the air fell off in a flurry, turning into a thick, dark green miasma that rolled and spread like dark clouds.

The pungent smell was so strong it almost made people nauseous. Wherever the miasma went, flowers and plants withered instantly, and the ground seemed to be corroded by strong acid, hissing and emitting wisps of blue smoke.

This miasma not only corrodes the body but also interferes with the perception of soul power, making people feel as if they are in a maze, unable to discern directions.

Upon seeing this, the driver abandoned the cart without hesitation and fled into the woods.

He was just an ordinary coachman, earning only five silver coins a month. Why risk his life like that?

The evil spirit master glanced sideways and snorted coldly: "Hmph, cowardly fellow, it's good that he ran away, so he won't get in the way."

Deng Mu glanced at the fleeing coachman, understanding his actions. His life shield emitted a pale blue light, blocking the ever-spreading, eroding dark green miasma.

The three of them had life shields and were not afraid of the dark green miasma at all.

Fourth Soul Skill: Spirit Pattern Frenzy

Deng Mu decisively unleashed his fourth soul skill, Spirit Pattern Frenzy.

In an instant, mysterious and complex spiritual patterns slowly emerged on the surface of his skin. These patterns seemed to have a life of their own, meandering along his veins. As the blue light flickered, his aura instantly surged.

At the same time, Tang Ya and Jiang Nannan were also enveloped in a faint blue light. They clearly felt a powerful force surging within their bodies, and the increase in speed and strength boosted their confidence.

A cold glint flashed in Jiang Nannan's eyes. Taking advantage of the increased power and speed brought by the berserk spirit patterns, she approached the evil soul master like lightning.

"Third Soul Skill: Teleportation"

She let out a delicate shout and vanished from her spot in an instant, reappearing behind the evil spirit master the next moment.

As a Soul King, the Evil Soul Master possessed extremely keen senses. Although he was startled by Jiang Nannan's sudden appearance, he reacted swiftly, his giant black wings flapping backward, creating a gust of foul-smelling wind.

Jiang Nannan remained calm and composed. She bent and straightened her legs, using her waist arching skill to leap high into the air, avoiding the giant wings' attack. At the same time, several hidden weapons in her hand shot towards the evil soul master's back like meteors.

The sound of hidden weapons cutting through the air rang out, and the evil soul master could only use his wings to defend himself again in a hurry. With a few crisp clangs, the hidden weapons were blocked, but they also slowed down his movements.

On Tang Ya's side, the Blue Silver Grass grew even thicker and more resilient under the support of the raging soul power of the spirit patterns.

"Third Soul Skill: Sand Serpent Net"

The blue silver grasses rapidly intertwined, transforming into a massive snake net that enveloped the evil soul master. The net shimmered with a ghostly blue light, seemingly carrying a chilling aura.

Just as the evil soul master blocked the hidden weapon, the Sal Snake Net rushed towards him. He waved his hands and shouted, "Third Soul Skill, Crow Shadow Tracking!"

In an instant, a flock of shadow crows formed from soul power appeared around him. These shadow crows flew around him rapidly, forming a barrier that blocked the attack of the Saros Serpent Net.

Seeing that the evil soul master used the Shadow of the Crow to block Tang Ya's attack, Deng Mu snorted coldly, his footwork suddenly changed, and he unleashed the Chaotic Cloak Hammer Technique.

The Haotian Hammer seemed to come alive in his hands, creating whistling winds as he wielded it.

The first hammer blow, like a rainbow piercing the sun, rushed towards the evil soul master, tearing the air apart and producing a sharp, explosive sound.

This force collided with the Shadow Raven barrier formed by the Shadow Ravens' tracking, causing the Shadow Ravens to scatter and their light to flicker.

The evil spirit master was shocked, not expecting Deng Mu's attack to be so powerful.

He quickly increased his soul power output, trying to stabilize the barrier.

Not a single mistake, not a single poem, not a single post, not a single piece of content, not a single look!

However, Deng Mu's chaotic hammer technique continued unabated, and the second hammer blow was immediately followed by a blow with even greater force than the first, causing cracks to appear in the barrier.

"The Haotian Hammer?!"

The evil spirit master's exclamation was filled with fear, for he was well aware of the formidable reputation of the Clear Sky Hammer.

Seeing Deng Mu unleash such a powerful hammer technique, and with its power still increasing, he felt extremely troubled.

He gritted his teeth and decided to stop playing defense all the time.

The evil soul master suddenly broke free from the crumbling barrier formed by the crow's shadow, flapping his wings wildly, his soul power surging, and shouting, "Fourth Soul Skill, Dark Feather Sky Rift!"

In an instant, the feathers on his huge black wings stood up, flashing with an eerie black light, and then shot towards Deng Mu like sharp arrows.

These feathers moved incredibly fast, tearing black rifts in the air wherever they went, carrying a putrid and evil aura of soul power that surged towards Deng Mu like a tidal wave.

Deng Mu, however, showed no fear and continued swinging the Haotian Hammer without stopping.

The third hammer slammed down with earth-shattering force, shattering some of the incoming feathers into dust, but many still managed to break through.

The remaining feathers were all blocked by the life shield, which developed some cracks.

Upon seeing this, Jiang Nannan's eyes sharpened, and she unleashed her gravity control skill, targeting the evil soul master.

Instantly, the evil spirit master felt his body sink and his movements became somewhat sluggish.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Tang Ya manipulated the Blue Silver Grass and activated its parasitic skill. The Blue Silver Grass quickly took root in the evil soul master and began to absorb his soul power.

The evil spirit master was both shocked and furious. He tried to break free from the parasitic shackles of the Blue Silver Grass, but Tang Ya kept increasing her soul power output, and the Blue Silver Grass became more and more tightly bound to him.

Deng Mu showed no sign of stopping; the spiritual runes on his body shone even brighter. He raised the Haotian Hammer high and shouted, "Chaotic Cloak Hammer Technique, Sixth Hammer!"
