Chapter 195 Cold-blooded Xiao Yuhao
Time passed slowly in the somber atmosphere.
About two hours later.
Suddenly, the silence was broken by the thunderous sound of horses' hooves, and the surrounding earth began to tremble slightly.
This deafening sound foreshadowed an impending storm.
Huo Yuhao led the Spirit Hall's cavalry, and like a black lightning bolt, they swiftly approached the territory of the Power Clan.
The cavalrymen wore uniforms from the Spirit Hall and were clad in Soul Guidance Armor.
Along the way, many forces were keeping a close eye on the Spirit Hall's movements.
Among these forces, some are neutral bystanders, while others are scheming conspirators with ulterior motives.
Those forces that harbored deep hatred towards the Li clan, in particular, immediately began to gloat.
In their hearts, the Power Clan's provocation of the Spirit Hall, a behemoth, was tantamount to courting death. They whispered amongst themselves, as if they could already see the end of the Power Clan.
It was midday, the sun was high in the sky, and the sunlight was like golden liquid spilling across the earth.
Bathed in sunlight, lush forests rise abruptly from the undulating mountain peaks, resembling a green ocean. These peaks, like guardian deities, encircle this land, adding a touch of mystery and solemnity.
The Power Clan established themselves amidst these mountains, choosing a feng shui treasure.
Their territory was nestled against mountains and beside water, a strategically important and easily defensible position. At the heart of this territory stood the majestic castle of the Power Clan, its high walls thick and sturdy, seemingly an insurmountable barrier.
Moreover, amidst the surrounding mountains, a mighty river cascades down, flowing like a silver dragon. From afar, the roaring sound of the water crashing against the rocks can be heard, a sound as powerful and stirring as war drums.
This river almost completely encircles the territory of the Power Clan, forming a natural moat. Its currents are swift and turbulent, making it extremely difficult for any enemy attempting to forcibly cross.
The territory of the Power Clan not only boasts a superior geographical location, but they have also cleverly utilized the natural environment to construct a robust defensive system. On this auspicious land, they have not only built castles but also cultivated abundant vegetation, making the entire territory both beautiful and vibrant.
At this moment, Huo Yuhao stood on the riverbank, his gaze piercing through the thin mist, and he could clearly see the boats slowly moving on the river. The outlines of the boats appeared and disappeared in the morning light, like an elegant ink painting.
On the shore, a large crowd had gathered, some standing, some sitting, some talking loudly, and some whispering, creating a lively scene.
Huo Yuhao's gaze was as sharp as an eagle's, and he immediately spotted Titan walking at the very front.
Titan was a massive man, like a moving mountain. His steps were heavy and firm, and with each step, one could feel the earth tremble. The people following behind him were all different in appearance and temperament.
The leader looked like a wild boar, standing at least two and a half meters tall. With each step he took, his muscles twitched, as if he possessed boundless power. His face was rugged, and his eyes gleamed with a wild light that made people afraid to look directly at him.
Standing to Titan's right, though small and thin, his presence was undeniable. He was constantly chewing, looking like a starving ghost, as if he could never be full. His movements were agile, his eyes alert, giving him an air of cunning and shrewdness.
The person at the very back looked extremely gloomy, his face seemingly shrouded in shadow, making it difficult to see his true appearance.
He exuded a faint, almost imperceptible, poisonous aura, as if he himself were a dangerous presence. His eyes revealed an unfathomable coldness that sent chills down one's spine.
Huo Yuhao knew in his heart that these people were definitely helpers invited by Titan. The aura and temperament they exuded were obviously different from ordinary people. The Spirit Hall army behind Huo Yuhao had obviously also seen the Power Clan on the other side, and the atmosphere immediately became tense.
The soldiers in the army sprang into action, quickly taking out their soul-guided devices and aiming their dark cannons at the Power Clan.
These soul tools gleamed with a cold light, as if poised to unleash destructive power at any moment. Every soldier in the army was on edge, ready for the impending battle.
However, at this moment, Huo Yuhao, Golden Crocodile Douluo, and Azure Phoenix Douluo all looked confident of victory.
After all, their opponents were too weak, so weak that even two Douluo-level powerhouses didn't bother to raise any alarm.
This vast disparity in strength made the outcome of the battle almost predictable for them.
Putting everything else aside, just looking at Golden Crocodile Douluo's defensive power, even if he sat motionless on the ground and let the opponents take turns attacking him, their attacks would not be able to cause any damage at all.
Huo Yuhao was equally confident. Facing these opponents, Huo Yuhao did not need to use his soul skills. He only needed to release his Ice and Fire Domain, and with the power of several ferocious beast soul rings, it would be enough to make his opponents feel despair and unable to raise their heads.
Moreover, on the way here, Huo Yuhao also felt his soul power becoming more solidified.
This all started with the discussion with the Sword Douluo of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School two weeks ago.
On that occasion, in order to help Sword Douluo comprehend the realm of the Heavenly Sword, Huo Yuhao forcibly unleashed the Heavenly Sword. This act not only greatly benefited Sword Douluo, but Huo Yuhao himself also received corresponding benefits, making his soul power more viscous and condensed.
Huo Yuhao estimated that in this life, when he reaches the Soul Saint level, he might be able to condense his first Soul Core.
The formation of a soul core is a qualitative leap for a soul master, signifying a qualitative change in soul power and a significant increase in strength.
Therefore, Huo Yuhao now, with his soul power and physical attributes alone, could face the entire Power Clan single-handedly.
He didn't even need to unleash any soul skills; his own power alone was enough to completely suppress the Power Clan, leaving them unable to resist.
On the other side, on the opposite bank of the river, Titan stood there, his gaze fixed intently on the two titled Douluo opposite him.
His heart was in turmoil, and an unprecedented sense of fear surged into his heart, causing his legs to tremble uncontrollably.
He took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down, but the tension lingered.
"What a mess with the Spirit Hall! Aren't they going a bit too far?" Titan muttered to himself, his voice trembling slightly.
"To deal with our Power Clan, they actually dispatched two peak Douluo, along with six Soul Douluo and fifteen Soul Saints."
Do they think we're from the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex Clan?
"Brother Titan, what's going on?" Wild Boar King Gang's voice interrupted Titan's thoughts.
Titan turned his head and saw the Boar King looking at him with concern. "Why are your legs trembling? Are those two strong? Say something!"
Wild Boar King Gang clearly did not recognize the Golden Crocodile Douluo and Azure Phoenix Douluo of the Spirit Hall. When he saw Titan, his legs were trembling, and he felt that his old brother had grown old.
When Wild Boar King Gang recalled the past, he remembered how incredibly brave Titan was back then. He was the only man Wild Boar King Gang acknowledged as being just as fierce as himself.
To be honest, the Boar King really admired the Titan. Their friendship was incredibly deep. If it weren't for the fact that both the Boar King and the Titan were heterosexual, their relationship would probably be even closer, and might even have crossed the line of friendship.
Titan took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down. He knew this was not the time to panic; they were facing a formidable enemy, the Spirit Hall, so he absolutely could not show weakness.
First, you need to keep your companions calm.
So he turned around to face Wild Boar King Gang, his eyes flashing with determination: "Brother, those two are indeed very strong, but we are not to be trifled with either. Our Power Clan never backs down in the face of a powerful enemy."
Upon hearing Titan's words, Wang Gang's face immediately showed a relieved expression.
It seems the Titan is still the same Titan; I was just worrying too much.
However, Wang Gang was a bit dim-witted, while Guo Shanfeng was an exceptionally clever fellow.
When he witnessed Titan's reaction from the mountain peak, he immediately became alert. His intuition told him that the opponent opposite him was no ordinary person. Normally, even when facing those exceptionally powerful Soul Douluos, Titan had never shown the slightest fear. However, now, merely seeing the two people opposite him, Titan's legs were almost unable to support his body.
This scene further convinced Guo Shanfeng that his two opponents must possess the strength of a Title Douluo.
Even Xu Kai, who was leisurely munching on a chicken leg, sensed the strange atmosphere in the air.
Xu Kai suddenly realized that the chicken leg in his hand had lost its usual deliciousness, as if the chicken leg had suddenly turned into a tasteless block of wax.
Xu Kai's martial soul is the Talking Bird, which has a very unique characteristic: an exceptionally keen sense of danger.
Whenever potential danger approaches, Xu Kai instantly loses his sense of taste. And based on the degree of loss of taste, he can even judge the strength of the enemy.
This time, Xu Kai completely lost his sense of taste. Chewing the chicken leg in his hand felt like chewing a tasteless block of wax. This feeling made him realize that if he were to actually fight the two experts opposite him, his mortality rate would be almost one hundred percent.
This means that one's own strength and the other's strength are from completely different worlds.
An overwhelming sense of fear surged through Xu Kai's heart, and he felt his legs begin to tremble uncontrollably.
Xu Kai slowly retreated, trying to leave this place that was about to become a battlefield without attracting attention.
However, Titan, who was standing next to him, keenly noticed Xu Kai's unusual behavior.
"Xu Kai, where are you going?" Titan's voice was deep and powerful, filled with doubt and vigilance.
Xu Kai's heart raced; he knew his plan had been exposed.
Therefore, he no longer concealed his intentions and instantly activated his Martial Soul True Body. A pair of huge wings unfolded from his back, carrying him towards the clouds.
"Titan, since you're so ruthless, don't blame me for being ruthless in return." Xu Kai's voice echoed in the air, carrying a hint of helplessness and determination.
"The opponent you're dealing with this time is clearly beyond our capabilities. I won't play along with this life-threatening work."
Titan watched Xu Kai's departing figure and roared angrily, "Xu Kai, you bastard! You're leaving? Fine, leave me my 20 gold soul coins!"
However, Titan was completely helpless against Xu Kai. After all, the sky was the home ground of bird-type soul masters, and what could a land-based soul master like himself do to them?
However, at this tense moment, a cruel smile appeared on Huo Yuhao's face. His eyes flashed with a cold light.
"It's too late to think of escaping now!" Huo Yuhao's voice was as cold as ice, making the surrounding air seem to freeze.
As he spoke, Huo Yuhao stretched out his arm toward Xu Kai. His movements were slow yet powerful, as if he were controlling some invisible force.
The next moment, an ice-blue, ice-level ray shot out from his Ice Extreme War God Armor, like a deadly lightning bolt, slicing through the sky.
The ice-level ray was incredibly fast; it pierced Xu Kai's heart in less than a breath.
Even from a great distance, everyone could see a cloud of snow burst open in the sky.
Then, under everyone's gaze, Xu Kai's body trembled in the air, and then fell helplessly like a kite with a broken string.
His eyes were filled with shock and confusion, as if he were asking himself why everything had turned out this way.
From the moment Xu Kai began his escape, through the echoes of Titan's roar in the air, to Xu Kai's death, only a few seconds passed.
In just a few seconds, Huo Yuhao displayed astonishing combat skills and speed. He not only successfully intercepted Xu Kai's escape route but also directly killed him. This series of actions was as fluid as flowing water, leaving the audience breathless.
With a crisp sound, Xu Kai lost control of his body in mid-air and plummeted straight down from a height of hundreds of meters.
His body finally slammed heavily onto the hard ground with a dull thud. Xu Kai's flesh was mangled beyond recognition, a gruesome sight, and a drop of blood even splattered onto Titan's face.
The warm, moist touch of the blood sent a strange chill through Titan, a chill that spread from his heels all the way to his scalp. He felt his scalp tingle, and an unprecedented sense of fear washed over him.
Titan's eyes were filled with disbelief as he stared intently at Huo Yuhao, his heart brimming with doubt and shock.
He simply couldn't understand how a boy who looked only twelve or thirteen years old could possess such great strength and combat skills, and actually be able to kill a level 85 Soul Douluo.
However, Huo Yuhao merely glanced at Titan with indifference and shock in his eyes.
Then, Huo Yuhao slowly spoke, his voice carrying an undeniable authority and coldness: "Titan, one of the helpers you brought in is already dead. Will you surrender or not? If you don't surrender now, you'll be next!"
As Huo Yuhao finished speaking, the Spirit Hall army behind him roared at the Power Clan, "Titan, will you surrender or not?"
