Douluo Continent: The Eternal Order of the Azure Sky.

The Sword of Judgment, yes, it is the Sword of Judgment, the pinnacle of level eight soul tools, hailed as the number one melee soul tool below level nine.

As the grandson of Kong Tangyu, the number one melee soul master on the continent, Kong Tianxu naturally inherited Kong Tangyu's true teachings. Especially after his first battle with Ji Juechen, he had the idea of ​​incorporating weapons into his own fighting style.

Admittedly, his physical body will become the most powerful weapon in the world in the future, but he will never think he has too many means of attack and defense. So after winning the competition, he asked Jing Hongchen for the Sword of Judgment as his reward.

The Sword of Judgment combines the powers of darkness and light, allowing the power of darkness to instantly invade the enemy's soul power, transforming it into an uncontrollable dark attribute, and then using its powerful light to deliver judgment.

If it encounters someone of weak strength, it can disintegrate their soul power in an instant, or even completely annihilate them under the aura of light.

As a masterpiece that even its creator, Jing Hongchen, considers irreplaceable, the mysteries it contains are in no way inferior to a level nine soul tool, and its light and dark attributes are perfectly suited to Kong Tianxu.

Let alone the poisonous mist of a 30,000-year-old anaconda, even a 70,000-year-old anaconda would be completely suppressed in terms of attributes.

The anaconda let out a miserable cry as large patches of its blue scales began to fall off, and the green poisonous mist around its body completely dissipated, as if it were escaping.

The only thing this sword of judgment cannot do is against opponents with light or dark attributes, but this mutated anaconda is clearly not one of them.

The anaconda's attack was interrupted, and its body fell back into the water as if it had lost its bones. But a ten-thousand-year-old soul beast is not so easy to deal with. After returning to the water, it immediately recovered some strength and fought against Kong Tianxu's dark power with all its might, but its fierce eyes were somewhat suspicious.

The poisonous mist, which instantly dispelled the dark power that had invaded its body, instilled fear in this somewhat intelligent soul beast. Instinctively, it immediately unleashed its strongest innate skill.

The entire swamp seemed to be boiling!

The anaconda opened its massive jaws, and its fangs emitted an eerie green light. Centered on it, the swamp within a thirty-meter diameter suddenly erupted! Countless emerald green water columns shot into the sky like giant spears, reaching heights of five meters. Each water column contained potent poison and terrifying impact, spreading outwards and covering an area with a diameter of nearly thirty meters.

After a brief moment of surprise, Gu Fan quickly recovered. With a flap of his wings, his second, third, and fourth soul rings shone brightly. As his entire body was protected by black scales, the horns on his head grew rapidly, and an almost invisible protective shield appeared. He spun around and charged straight at the serpent.

Kong Tianxu remained expressionless, gripping the Sword of Judgment tightly with both hands and raising it high above his head. The golden light on the sword condensed into a dazzling, enormous blade of light, completely dyeing the entire blade a uniform gold.

A deep dragon roar followed, causing the surrounding water and trees to tremble.

"Judgment!"

A golden light slashed down! Wherever it passed, the raging emerald water hell vanished instantly like an illusory bubble.

Just as he swung his sword, the anaconda in the distance suddenly trembled violently, bursting forth with unimaginable speed and diving into the water without hesitation.

But how could its movements possibly be faster than light?

The sword's momentum continued, cleaving the murky swamp below in two, creating a vacuum trench several meters long, revealing the dark silt and the terrified anaconda beneath.

In the blink of an eye, it landed on the giant body of the anaconda.

The swamp bottom, which had been swept away for a moment, revealed the complete form of the anaconda. Its forked tongue was stretched out straight, but its huge body trembled like a sieve. Golden light radiated from its huge wound, and all the scales on the edge were fully opened and then peeled off one by one.

It also has countless golden light patterns, or rather, cracks, on its body.

At this moment, Gu Fan's attack finally landed on the anaconda, delivering the final blow.

In fact, the anaconda's life force was nearing its end, and it seemed that only the power of light was barely keeping it alive for the last breath.

The swamp was a scene of devastation, the parted waters slowly closing in. The air was thick with a mixture of smells of burning, purification, and blood.

Gu Fan stopped and exchanged a glance with Hua Yao. The two of them almost simultaneously swallowed and murmured, "Too strong."

This 30,000-year-old soul beast, which was at least equivalent to a seven-ring Soul Saint among the inner students of Shrek Academy, was a senior Soul Saint. Yet Kong Tianxu killed it single-handedly!

Two sword strikes, or perhaps only one sword strike in the true sense.

The Sword of Judgment, this incredibly powerful level eight close-range soul tool, was so powerful that even the spectator Xian Lin'er was horrified.

She couldn't understand the Ring of the Dark Domain, but she could understand the Sword of Judgment. She was focused on close-range soul tools and had even modified her innate Azure Flame Dragon Spear into a soul tool. But even so, it was still far inferior to the power of the giant sword in Kong Tianxu's hand.

In particular, Kong Tianxu's final strike, filled with the power of light, contained an incomparably powerful pressure. Combined with that deep dragon roar, it made her feel immense pressure from the depths of her bloodline. If she had to choose, she would definitely replace her Azure Flame Dragon Spear.

Chapter 170 Blood Feathers Fall to Slay the White Serpent

Kong Tianxu slowly withdrew his sword. It was entirely expected that the Sword of Judgment would possess such destructive power in his hands. It was rare for a normal Soul Master to have both light and dark attributes coexisting, and it was even more unique for someone like him to have perfect control over two completely opposite attributes.

Combined with the power of a level 8 peak soul tool, his limit is not limited to this.

However, he vaguely sensed that the aura that had caused him to stop in his tracks was slightly different from the anaconda in front of him.

"You did very well."

Zhang Lexuan blinked, first nodding to Kong Tianxu, then looking at Jin Yehuan, who immediately understood and put on a stern face towards Gu Fan.

"Senior Brother, I was wrong. I shouldn't have hesitated for a moment." Before he could speak, Gu Fan raised his hands and said with a wry smile, "But with such a powerful soul tool, anyone would be surprised."

Jin Yehuan immediately glared at him, "Then you shouldn't be so slow at releasing even a soul skill. From now on, you and I will cooperate, with Kong Tianxu and Zhang Lexuan providing support."

"Alright, Lone Sail, let's absorb the spirit ring first."

Hua Yao gently raised her hands, and lotus petals lifted the huge anaconda corpse out of the water. A dark soul ring rose from the anaconda's corpse. Gu Fan nodded, acknowledging Jin Yehuan's arrangement. His eyes were filled with barely suppressed excitement as he was about to sit down cross-legged to absorb the soul ring.

The crowd instinctively moved to surround him, protecting him. Zhang Lexuan then approached Kong Tianxu, gave him a deep look at the long sword in his hand, and said:

"How's the consumption?"

"It's alright." Kong Tianxu's expression remained unchanged. Killing a 30,000-year-old serpent was just an ordinary thing for him, and there was no point in showing off.

After hesitating for a moment, Zhang Lexuan still asked, "May I ask, if I may, about this sword of yours..."

"Just an eighth-level soul tool." Kong Tianxu gave up on the pointless investigation and carried the Sword of Judgment behind his back.

Just then, a sense of foreboding suddenly arose in his mind—

"Splash!"

A massive, pure white shadow, as thick as a water vat, was engulfed in dazzling golden flames like the midday sun. It suddenly tore through the water's surface, its snow-white scales reflecting an unbearable brilliance, and stirring up towering waves of mud!

The overwhelming, untamed killing intent mixed with the scorching heat rushed towards us, even more oppressive than the previous serpent.

The incident happened suddenly, and Zhang Lexuan, who was closest to the target, only had time to release her martial soul defense, and a crescent moon appeared behind her.

However, the white shadow was too fast and its target was extremely clear—its giant tail lashed out like lightning, and before anyone could react, it had already wrapped around Kong Tianxu, who had just concealed his aura, and dragged him into the bottomless, murky swamp.

"not good!"

Zhang Lexuan exclaimed in surprise, and a beam of silvery moonlight shot down, but only at the last moment before the giant shadow disappeared into the water did it leave several scorch marks on its tail, futilely splashing up a few scorching white scales.

"Roar--!"

With a deep roar, Jin Yehuan reacted quickly, his body radiating a burst of earthy yellow light, instantly transforming into the massive true form of the Thick Earth Crocodile King, and without hesitation, he leaped into the murky water.

Beneath this swamp, most Soul Masters' experience is useless; he is the only one best suited to go and rescue them.

"Such speed! What kind of soul beast is this?" Suddenly attacked, Gu Fan couldn't care less about absorbing the soul ring. The group quickly moved closer together. Li Zhuangyun looked warily at the water surface, which had returned to calm but looked even more eerie.

Xian Lin'er's figure suddenly appeared on the shore. "It's a feathered serpent, a ten-thousand-year-old feathered serpent. No wonder this anaconda has mutated."

Feathered Serpent? Gu Fan and Hua Yao exchanged a glance, both able to see the seriousness in each other's eyes.

The Feathered Serpent, a powerful first-tier soul beast, holds a similar position among various pythons, boas, and snakes as the Golden Hawksbill Turtle among turtles. If the Golden Hawksbill Turtle is the emperor among turtles, then the Feathered Serpent is the priest among snakes.

Both are beings imbued with auspicious energy, but the feathered serpent is relatively stronger in combat, especially in speed, while its auspicious energy is weaker. It is precisely this auspicious energy that makes them extremely good at concealing their presence, so much so that even Kong Tianxu could not fully detect its existence.

Unexpectedly, how could a 30,000-year-old anaconda and feathered serpent, which would be able to dominate even in the core circle, appear here?

Caught off guard, Kong Tianxu, who had just unleashed a full-force attack in their eyes, was probably...

Zhang Lexuan clenched her fists tightly. Several snow-white scales floated on the water's surface, rising and falling as if mocking her incompetence.

Although Xian Lin'er also had a solemn expression, she did not go into the water to rescue Jin Yehuan. Although her Azure Flame Dragon Martial Soul was powerful, it was only good at fighting in the air, which is why she was called the Flying Valkyrie.

She probably couldn't do a better job than Jin Yehuan in underwater search and rescue.

Moreover, she vaguely felt that Kong Tianxu did not seem to be too panicked when he was taken away.

Kong Tianxu was not flustered at all. This feathered serpent perfectly matched the aura he had sensed at the beginning. He was just a little puzzled. Feathered serpents, as soul beasts, should have a strong instinct to seek advantage and avoid harm. Why did it choose him as its target?

However, it is clearly inappropriate to explore this now, as icy muddy water is surging in from all directions, carrying a biting chill and a strong sense of pressure.

The feathered serpent's blazing light permeated the water, like an invisible furnace, tightly binding Kong Tianxu within its coiled body. That immense power contracted wildly, attempting to crush his bones, while the scorching light soul power, like a red-hot iron, tried to penetrate his protective soul power and burn his skin.

As far as the eye could see, there was only murky matter and that blindingly pure white snake scale. The feathered serpent's cold, dark, vertical pupils were almost touching it, its two small, pure white wings fluttering rapidly, as if it wanted to savor the fear its prey should display.

Ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts have already developed a certain level of intelligence, especially special soul beasts like this one that develop intelligence earlier. The reason it chose Kong Tianxu was not only because Kong Tianxu killed its good sister, but also because of the dragon bloodline in Kong Tianxu that was so strong that it drove it crazy.

In ancient times, the most powerful pure-blooded feathered serpents fed on dragons. Although this led to the pure-blooded feathered serpents being wiped out by the dragon god, this instinct was preserved.

It had a premonition that if it could completely devour Kong Tianxu, it might be able to directly purify its own bloodline and thus achieve a return to its ancestral form.

But it failed to see even the slightest hint of the expected panic in Kong Tianxu's eyes. His eyes held only an unfathomable calm, like ancient, frozen ice.

If it were an ordinary Soul Emperor or even Soul Saint, they would have been severely injured by this blazing light, even if they weren't strangled to death. But Kong Tianxu possessed an extraordinary physique, and he managed to withstand this deadly strangulation.

A thunderous roar exploded within the Feathered Serpent's spiritual sea!

"Have you made enough of a scene?"

A cold glint flashed in Kong Tianxu's eyes, and he stopped trying to outrun the other in the water. He pressed his free left hand down, and his soul power vibrated at a strange frequency.

"fall."

Words become law! Suddenly, an irresistible force emanated from the earth element in the soft swamp riverbed below, pulling him and the feathered serpent, who were entangled together, and crashing them into the riverbed like a meteorite.

The churning mud and the immense impact momentarily halted the feathered serpent's charge.

In that instant of pause, Kong Tianxu's blood surged, his arm muscles bulged, and he managed to withstand the feathered serpent's attempt to coil around him again with sheer physical strength!

The feathered serpent, in pain, let out a muffled hiss, and intensified its coiling force, attempting to completely crush this target whose power was beyond human comprehension.

Kong Tianxu's eyes instantly turned a brilliant silver color, and the extreme fire did not emanate outwards, but instead burst forth close to his body.

The blazing white light instantly illuminated him, making him look like an underwater furnace. The terrifyingly high temperature caused the surrounding water to vaporize instantly, emitting a hissing and crackling sound.

The moment the feathered serpent's cold yet resilient body came into contact with the extreme fire, it instinctively convulsed and twitched violently, and the binding force suddenly loosened.

Kong Tianxu's dragon claws were chilling as he took down the Sword of Judgment.

Time passed in a stifling silence, each second feeling exceptionally long. Occasionally, a few bubbles would rise to the surface of the water, but there was no further movement.

Suddenly, Hua Yao's pupils contracted, and she cried out in a trembling voice, "Blood! So much blood!"

Before them, large swampy areas were rapidly spreading crimson like splashed ink, the glaring red turning the murky water a terrifying dark crimson. A strong stench of blood filled the air.

Everyone's hearts sank to the bottom. With such a massive amount of blood, facing the legendary feathered serpent renowned for its speed and strength underwater, Kong Tianxu was likely...

Xian Lin'er's pupils contracted slightly. Had she misjudged? Zhang Lexuan's delicate body trembled slightly.

However, just as despair filled the air, a glint of light flashed in Li Zhuangyun's eyes.

"No! How could a human body have so much blood?"

what? !
