'Spiritual Strike! Is this a Soul Skill?!!'

  Xiao Yan hadn't expected such a teique that resembled both a Dou Teique and a Soul Skill. The Hun 's development and innovation in Soul Skills had reached su extent that they had ied them with Dou Teiques!

  By using the collision of ons, they could transmit a spiritual attack through the vibrations, resulting in an undefendable and deadly Spiritual Strike!

  Boom! Xiao Yan couldn't block this ssh at all. The terrifying force pressed him into the wall of the crater.

  "Hehe, it seems you do know a bit after all. I thought the outside world no longer knew what Soul Skills were," Hun Yu pressed down violently on the hilt of his sword, trapping Xiao Yan firmly uhe Heavy Xuan Ruler with no ce of escape.

  With just one more ssh, he could scatter Xiao Yan's soul to the winds!

  The Hun 's greatest strength y in their use of souls, which was why they ra the top of the Eight A s.

  "Farewell, bumpkiime someone makes you an offer, remember to accept it. Perhaps they mean well." Hun Yu 's great sword emitted an endless soul light with a buzzing sound as he prepared for the final blow.

  Xiao Ya out a cold ugh, his eyes devoid of any despair: "Don't uimate Dou Teiques from the outside. Who doesn't know a High Xuan Css Dou Teique, y in a well!"

  "Oe Bst! Striking Ox Across the Mountain!!"

  TL/N: "Striking Ox Across the Mountain (Ge Shan Da Niu)" is a legendary martial arts teique in a described as the ability to attad knock dopo from a distance using only one's fists or palms.

  Xiao Yan had beely gathering strength for this moment, his fingers spreading from a ched fist to an open palm.

  With a deep roar eg in his heart, Xiao Yan's aura suddenly became as sharp as a sword drawn from its sheath. The violent energy at the ter of his palm produced aremely sharp whirlwind of Dou Qi.

  Sensing Xiao Yan's sudden surge of terrifying aura, the mog smile on Hun Yu 's fastantly vanished. He hadn't anticipated that Xiao Yan could unleash such a powerful attack. This bumpkin from the outside world actually knew a High Xuan Css Dou Teique!

  Moreover, this Dou Teique had clearly been cultivated to a perfect level of mastery!

  And Xiao Yan was only an 8-star Dou Practitioner!

  Even for the desdants of the Hun , it would take several years, or even a decade, to cultivate a High Xuan Css Dou Teique to such perfect mastery.

  Did he start practig while still in the cradle?!

  Hun Yu hastily celed his own Dou Teique and trated all his Dou Qi in front of him to form a thicker protective cloak.

  Xiao Yan's palm firmly struck the Heavy Xuan Ruler with a loud bang!

  The force that burst forth smmed heavily into Hun Yu 's body. He felt as if he had been harshly hit, and a circle of invisible energy surged out from the point of tact.

  Whoosh! Hun Yu was sent flying into the air by the palm strike. Meanwhile, the remaining hidden force savagely bombarded the cloak around him.

  "I never expected you to know such a profound Dou Teique. I truly uimated you!" Hun Yu 's expression darkened as he watched Xiao Yan walk out of the crater.

  The attack had even split open his Dou Qi cloak, filling his eyes with raging fury. He couldn't imagihe ridicule he would face ba his if he was defeated by an outsider, a mere bumpkin!

  His right hand suddenly tightened around the great sword. With his left, he wiped a trickle of blood from the er of his mouth and roared, "Bumpkin! You will undoubtedly die today!"

  With a ferocious howl, Hun Yu lunged forward, the great sword in his haing waves of cold air. Sihe spiritual attack of the Soul Shaking Ssh had failed to kill the other party with a sirike, he would strike again!

  bined with the effect of the Dou Qi cloak, the dark golde sword brewed a terrifying force of energy and Spiritual Strength that even caused Xiao Yan's plexion to ge drastically.

  Hun Yu swung his sword ferociously at Xiao Yan. The sheer force of the swing made it clear that even if the tter were to block it with the Heavy Xuan Ruler, the terrifying spiritual strike would undoubtedly split his soul in half, resulting in instah!

  The intense, oppressive sound of the wind made it slightly difficult for Xiao Yan to breathe. He uood that under no circumstances could he allow himself to be hit by the Soul Shaking Ssh again; the spiritual strike was simply too horrifying!

  Xiao Yan ched his teeth as his powerful fighting instincts kicked in at this critical moment of life ah. Incredibly, he used the Heavy Xuan Ruler and the hidden force of the Oe Bst to skillfully hit the ot of the Soul Shaking Ssh, managing to deflect the strike!

  "What?! Was that luck?" Hun Yu was stuhe subtle hidden force had precisely hit the ot of his Dou Teique, causing his spiritual strike to shatter before it could pee the Heavy Xuan Ruler.

  Even Xiao Yan didn't realize that his Spiritual Strength had improved slightly at that critical moment, allowing him to perceive the ot in the Dou Teique.

  Unwittingly, he had applied the skills he used in alchemy to bat, such as trolling fire with Spiritual Strength and dising the medial parts of herbs while discarding harmful substances.

  He had identified the tration point of Spiritual Strength, the 'point' on the dark golde sword where the energy was focused!

  "It was just a bit of luck!"

  Xiao Ya out a cold ugh, "Then e and see if it's really just luck."

  Hun Yu refused to believe it. He executed the Soul Shaking Ssh once again and charged toward Xiao Yan.

  However, the result remaihe same. Xiao Yaed the Oe Bst with the Heavy Xuan Ruler, and the hidden force of the Oe Bst precisely shattered the trated Spiritual Strength on the dark golde sword!

  This bination of Dou Teique and Soul Skill was indeed ued at first, but after several enters, Xiao Yan mao dis the weakness of this move.

  The Soul Shaking Ssh was very simir to the Low Xuan Css sword teique that Hun Yu had initially used. It was more like adding a spiritual strike to the basis of that ssh, utilizing the fieress of the sword teique to increase the strength of the spiritual strike.

  The strength of the spiritual strike was indeed enhanced, yet the sword teique itself remai the standard of a Low Xuan Css. It wasn't particurly profound. If it weren't for Xiao Yan's signifitly lower cultivation level, he wouldn't eveo rely oa to increase his strength; he could dodge this straightforward attack by simply relying on his Spiritual Strength and agility.

  No matter how strong the attack or how peculiar the spiritual strike was, it was meaningless if it didn't hit the target.

  trasting with Xiao Yan's inner cold ugh, Hun Yu was cursing inwardly. The weakness of the Soul Shaking Ssh was clear, but normally, a by the ssh would have their soul destroyed or, at the very least, suffer severe soul disorientation. He hadn't expected that Xiao Yan, this freak, could take a hit after being caught off guard and still act as if nothing had happened!

  "Damn it!"

  Boom!

  Hun Yu 's ssh hit the ground with a thunderous boom. This time, Xiao Yan didn't even bother to defend and easily dodged it.

  "My Hun ot possibly lose to an outsider bumpkin like you! Absolutely impossible!" Suddenly, Hun Yu 's blood began to boil wildly, and in the sed, his Dou Qi grew stronger and stronger.

  7-star Dou Master! 8-star Dou Master! 9-star Dou Master! The peak of a 9-star Dou Master!! Hun Yu 's soul cloak even began to show signs of turning into armor!

  It should be hat turning Dou Qi into armor was something only a Dou Grandmaster could do!

  'Secret Teique?! A secret teique reted to bloodline?!' Xiao Yan's gaze became grave. He had seen some temporary strength-enhang Secret Teiques in his ste ring, but those teiques required specifiditions, so he hadn't been able to learn them.

  "Witnessing the power of a Dou God Bloodline is enough for you to feel satisfied even ierlife! Go to hell!"

  Xiao Yan was secretly armed; he couldn't dodge this ssh! He didn't know what this Dou God Bloodli Teique was, but ohing was for sure: Hun Yu had not only increased his cultivation level, but also his Spiritual Strength!

  The hidden force of the Oe Bst absolutely couldn't dissipate the trated Spiritual Strength!

  After struggling for a moment, a surge of fury finally rose in Xiao Yan's heart. A fierce look fshed across his face as he took out a Qi Rec Pill from his ste ring and threw it into his mouth, while his hands tightly gripped the Heavy Xuan Ruler!

  "The's see if you 't withstand my heat wave first, or if my soul 't withstand your ssh!"

  Fme Splitting Tsunami!!
