Chapter 194: Using All Means
🕑 Added 2024-06-18 00:52:48 +0000 UTCIn fact, Chen Xin is a 96th-level Attack-type Battle Spirit Master. With Ning Fengzhi's support, he could even be considered as a 97th-level Super Douluo!
Despite the fact that Dark Devilgod Tiger's strength not only corresponds to that of a hundred thousand-year-old Spirit Beast, but also places it among the top tier of such beasts in terms of strength, it still found itself suppressed in front of Chen Xin.
Roar!
The Dark Devilgod Tiger let out an angry roar.
Dugu Bo was too troublesome. A Jade Phosphor Serpent Emperor, like an annoying snake, crazily entangled it, while a large amount of venom continued to penetrate deeper into its body through the wounds.
With its formidable physique, The Dark Devilgod Tiger has extremely high resistance to toxins. However, Dugu Bo's poison is not just toxic; it also utilizes his Soul Power and bursting techniques. The toxins invading its body can erupt and cause damage to The Dark Devilgod Tiger.
Damage from within is far more deadly than external injuries. This was also a new combat technique developed by Dugu Bo under Su Wen's guidance.
"Eighth Spirit Skill: Seven Kill Thunderous Eruption!"
Next to the massive Seven Kill Sword, three sword shadows condensed, each possessing eighty percent of Chen Xin's original strength. The three sword shadows charged forward, surrounding Chen Xin on both sides.
"Second Spirit Skill: Spirit Sword Guard!"
One sword shadow released a large amount of sword qi, swirling around Chen Xin to form a protective barrier.
"Sixth Spirit Skill: Thousand Swords Return!"
The other two sword shadows combined their efforts to unleash Thousand Swords Return, with countless sword qi swirling in the sky, converging into two rivers of sword energy.
The river of sword energy converged with the Seven Kill Sword's main body, and the three rivers of sword energy intertwined and surrounded The Dark Devilgod Tiger from different directions.
Su Wen watched from the side, gaining a deeper understanding of Chen Xin's abilities and forming some understanding.
Honestly, among Chen Xin's Spirit Skills, except for the Second Spirit Skill Spirit Sword Guard, which is a defensive type, there isn't a single individual Attack-type Spirit Skill.
In other words, Chen Xin's Seven Kill Sword actually follows the path of large-scale group attacks.
It wasn't until the Ninth Spirit Ring that he compensated for the lack of strong individual burst with the Slash of Gods and Demons.
Moreover, his nearly hundred thousand years old Spirit Ring provided Slash of Gods and Demons, which had tremendous power, indeed allowing Chen Xin to catch up completely in terms of individual attacks.
Even so, it cannot be denied that Chen Xin's sword is oriented towards group attacks.
His first eight Spirit Rings had already determined his deeper study into these group attack-oriented Spirit Skills. Even after obtaining the ninth Spirit Ring, despite the excessive consumption of the Ninth Spirit Skill, his development of sword techniques would still heavily rely on the preceding Spirit Skills.
These methods akin to rivers of sword energy currently only involved the pure convergence and superposition of sword energy, without the assistance of formations.
If formations were integrated, using sword formation methods, the power would undoubtedly be elevated to another level.
As the three rivers of sword energy descended, The Dark Devilgod Tiger quickly condensed numerous gray Dark Devilgod Thunders around its body in a short period.
Boom!
Continuous explosions engulfed everything in thunder and sword light.
Su Wen's gaze sharpened.
"Elder Sword, Elder Dugu, don't let him escape!"
Among Spirit Beasts, The Dark Devilgod Tiger's intelligence belonged to an extremely high category, not inferior to wise humans at all.
It understood the art of patience.
Under the suppression of The Titan Giant Ape and Sky Azure Bull Python, he could patiently stay away from The Star Dou Great Forest to accumulate strength. Now, returning quietly to the outskirts of The Star Dou Great Forest, he devoured Spirit Beasts discreetly.
Today, unable to contend with Chen Xin and Dugu Bo, he seized the opportunity to launch a sprint. Despite being showered with numerous sword and lightning flashes, he endured them all, swiftly leaving the center of the explosion and heading towards the outskirts of The Star Dou Great Forest.
Dugu Bo sneered.
"I've been waiting for you!"
"Medusa Gaze!"
Dugu Bo, experienced in numerous battles, was also analyzing The Dark Devilgod Tiger's abilities during the fight. Even though Su Wen couldn't fully describe the details when introducing it, Dugu Bo deduced that The Dark Devilgod Tiger's sprint skill, while comparable to Teleportation in speed, had its flaws—it needed to move in a straight line to reach its target.
After realizing this, he had been preparing his own Spirit Bone technique, striving to release it in an instant.
And now was the time.
Under the Medusa Gaze, The Dark Devilgod Tiger's figure petrified and solidified in midair, transforming into a giant statue.
"Ninth Spirit Skill: Slash of Gods and Demons!"
Two sword shadows collaborated to execute Slash of Gods and Demons. One sword shadow seemed divine, while the other seemed demonic. They emitted two sword lights, merging into a combination of divine and demonic sword energies. Bursting forth with a mixture of sacred and malevolent aura, they suddenly slashed towards the petrified Dark Devilgod Tiger.
The Dark Devilgod Tiger's consciousness still existed, only his body was immobilized by petrification.
Grayish streams of energy converged as he used the power of the evil god to protect himself.
Devilgod Protection.
A defensive Spirit Skill on par with Invincible Golden Body.
Boom!
The shield formed by the grayish energy violently trembled. It was quickly blurred by Slash of Gods and Demons, yet the sword energy was also worn down by the shield of Devilgod Protection.
The gray thunder erupted from Dark Devilgod Tiger's body, gradually reversing the petrification as he prepared to launch another charge.
Even while airborne, he could execute his charge.
Moreover, the cooldown time for the charge was nothing like Dugu Bo's Spirit Bone technique.
"Hmph, I've been waiting for you!"
"Eighth Spirit Skill: Time Freeze!"
Dugu Bo's Soul Power poured out madly, enveloping the space within the range of himself and Dark Devilgod Tiger, causing it to freeze as if solidified.
This Spirit Skill could freeze an area of several thousand square meters. However, with the breakthrough in Soul Power level, Dugu Bo's mastery of this Spirit Skill had deepened. Now, he could actively reduce the range to save Soul Power and enhance the effectiveness.
Chen Xin's Seven Kill True Body itself was not within the range of Time Freeze at this moment, suddenly erupting with a mixture of divine and demonic sword energy.
"Ninth Spirit Skill: Slash of Gods and Demons!"
This powerful bursting Spirit Skill generally has a long cooldown, but with the sword shadows of the Eighth Spirit Skill, Chen Xin can consecutively use the sword shadows and his main body to execute the Ninth Spirit Skill twice.
This strike is even more powerful than the Slash of Gods and Demons previously unleashed by the combined effort of the two sword shadows.
The Dark Devilgod Tiger's pupils contracted, and a violent fluctuation flashed in its red eyes.
A sinister aura pervaded the surroundings.
The devil's hook on its back straightened, resembling spikes, with a black hole quietly forming atop each spike.
The black holes rapidly expanded, becoming giant black holes with a diameter of three meters.
Meanwhile, a shield generated around The Dark Devilgod Tiger, enveloping it within.
Chen Xin, Dugu Bo, Su Wen, and Ning Fengzhi all showed signs of concern.
Evidently, these black holes were its time reversal ability, capable of pulling individuals into a dimensional space and transforming them into their juvenile forms for combat.
Su Wen mobilized his Spiritual Power, exerting full force to unleash Spiritual Shock across the vast distance.
He wasn't certain whether the shield on Dark Devilgod Tiger's body could only be shattered by the impact of Spiritual Power like in the original story with Tang San, or if it could be broken by any attack.
Nevertheless, this uncertainty did not stop him from making an additional cautious move.
