193: Chapter 193 Sword Slays Haoyang, Arrow Kills Tianyang

Haoyang Douluo knelt down, struggling to rise even with all his might. If it were any other level 98 Titled Douluo, suppressing a level 94 Titled Douluo would not have reached this extent.

But this was Su Ling, who Cultivates the Supreme Hunyuan Scripture and has undergone the baptism of Slaughter City. His killing intent and release are not something an ordinary person can compare to. Furthermore, there is his Mental Energy—level 99 Mental Energy—and, of course, his Soul Power.

All these factors combined achieved this effect.

Facing Haoyang Douluo's pleas for mercy, Su Ling would not simply let it go, saying, "Didn't you say you wanted to challenge me? Life or death, neither side will hold the other accountable! Those were your own words."

Haoyang Douluo stuck the Haoyang Sword into the ground, trying hard to stand up.

After all, despite his pleas for mercy, Su Ling did not let him go.

Releasing his spirit rings, seven spirit rings lit up as Haoyang Douluo activated his Martial Soul Avatar.

After activating his Martial Soul Avatar, it was clear that Haoyang Douluo had improved significantly, transforming into a giant covered in gold, wielding a seven-to-eight-meter golden longsword.

Under these circumstances, he managed to resist Su Ling's pressure and forcibly stood up.

"Su Ling! I, Haoyang Douluo, am not a pushover." After standing up, Haoyang Douluo regained his composure; earlier, he had truly been too embarrassed.

Looking at it now, it was indeed inappropriate. After all, the Tianyang Empire was behind him, and Sky Sun Douluo was there as well. How could he have said those words just now?

Recalling that moment, he felt as if his life was about to end. In his desperation, he had said it instinctively between life and death. Regardless, he regretted it deeply now.

After releasing his Martial Soul Avatar, his self-confidence returned.

Whoosh...

He pointed the Haoyang Sword toward the sky, seemingly absorbing the energy of the sun, making his Haoyang Sword become even hotter.

"Sky Sun Douluo, you are the most knowledgeable among us. What is going on with this Su Ling's spirit rings? They start with 100,000-year red spirit rings, and there is even a golden spirit ring. What is the age of this spirit ring?" Heavenly Moon Douluo looked at Sky Sun Douluo not far away.

Although she was quite worried about Haoyang Douluo at this moment, facing Heavenly Moon Douluo's question, Sky Sun Douluo also said, "Heavenly Moon Douluo, do you think anyone can reach 100,000 years with their first spirit ring? Who has ever heard of a golden spirit ring? I suspect he either has a special spirit tool or a Spirit Bone ability that changed the color of the spirit ring."

Heavenly Moon Douluo nodded after hearing this, accepting Sky Sun Douluo's words.

After all, Su Ling's spirit ring configuration had exceeded their cognition, so they naturally felt this was impossible.

The only ones present who knew the truth about Su Ling's spirit rings were Dongfang Yueying, Qian Miaomiao, and perhaps Luo Qin.

At this moment, Dongfang Yueying was calm, not even bothering to pretend anymore.

Su Ling could easily kill First Elder Wu Qingyang; wasn't it easy enough to deal with this level 94 Haoyang Douluo!

Haoyang Douluo's Haoyang Sword could be used under the scorching sun, allowing him to borrow a portion of the sun's power. Although it was only a small portion, it gave him an advantage.

Especially when fighting Spirit Masters of the same level under the scorching sun, it could be said that the scorching sun was his home turf.

His Martial Soul gathered power, and then the several-meter-long sword slashed directly at Su Ling.

Su Ling originally wanted to dodge, but after seeing this sword strike, he gave up. Su Ling could see that if he dodged, the spectators near the arena behind him might suffer.

More importantly, the viewing and preparation area behind him was designated for the Sun Moon Sect.

It had to be said that to ensure this strike hit Su Ling head-on, the opponent had also used despicable tactics.

Seeing this, Su Ling was unhurried. With a wave of his hand, he released his 100,000-year Spirit Ability, Ice Shield.

This defensive ability was particularly useful, almost instantaneous, and could be released anywhere within a hundred meters.

It could not be used just for defense, but also for other purposes.

In front of Su Ling, the Ice Shield condensed to a thickness of about twenty centimeters, over eight meters high, and about four meters wide.

With a boom, the Haoyang Sword landed on the Ice Shield. The destruction of the longsword, combined with the high temperature of the Soul Power it carried, landed on the Ice Shield.

However, after attacking for a few breaths, people noticed that there was only a scratch on the Ice Shield, and there was no sign of cracking at all.

Su Ling said, "I originally didn't want to kill you, but your actions just now made me very unhappy."

Previously, this Haoyang Douluo had wanted to kill him, but Su Ling thought that since he was about to leave, he did not want to cause trouble for the Sun Moon Sect, so he thought a lesson would suffice.

But now, leaving such a person alive would only cause more trouble for the Sun Moon Sect, so it was better to kill him.

"You still want to kill me? Look at the sword in my hand." Nine spirit rings lit up on Haoyang Douluo's body.

"One sword melts the rivers and cracks the earth, Haoyang descends and the world falls into eternal day!"

...

"That, that is Haoyang Douluo's ninth Spirit Ability. It is said that the power of one sword can melt mountains and rivers, and tear apart the earth."

"Yes, I have only heard of it. It looks like this move has considerable power. This person has really angered Clear Sky Douluo."

...

Ninth Spirit Ability?

Su Ling frowned. This guy was at it again, doing the same thing as before, forcing Su Ling to take this attack head-on.

"In the preparation area dedicated to the Sun Moon Sect, there are quite a few people, including Qian Miaomiao."

"Fine, since that is the case, I won't be polite."

Su Ling picked up the Primordial War Bow in his hand. He originally wanted to use his eighth Spirit Ability, but then he thought that the power of his eighth Spirit Ability was too great, and it would easily shoot through and hurt the innocent crowd on the other side.

So Su Ling gave up on the Spirit Ability and put away his Martial Soul.

Facing Haoyang Douluo's sword, at the moment it was about to fall, Su Ling moved.

Clenching his fist with one hand, Eight Wasteland Unity.

Using his own fist to resist the opponent's ninth Spirit Ability head-on.

With level 98 Soul Power condensed, Eight Wasteland Unity, Su Ling could now unleash more than six times the power. Combined with this punch of Soul Power, the power was stronger than a normal 100,000-year Spirit Ability.

The confrontation between the fist and the longsword—when the fist is hard enough, there is no need to worry about the sharpness of the sword.

The next second, with a crack, Haoyang Douluo's six-or-seven-meter-long sword shattered directly.

"Ho... how is it possible?" A large mouthful of blood spilled from Haoyang Douluo's mouth.

"Stop!" Sky Sun Douluo shouted loudly.

Because at this moment, Su Ling moved, and he had already arrived in front of Haoyang Douluo. A long sword also condensed in Su Ling's hand.

It was one of the goddess skills from Qian Renxue, which could condense a Holy Sword of Light to perform the Glorious Sword Art.

Su Ling would not be polite this time.

Using the Glorious Sword Art, a sword light flashed. Even if Sky Sun Douluo wanted to stop it, it was too late. At the same moment he said those words, Haoyang Douluo's head and body were separated.

Thus, one of the two Titled Douluo of the Tianyang Empire, Haoyang Douluo, fell.

At this moment, Sky Sun Douluo had already arrived on the field.

"You... you actually killed Hao Yang. I will not spare you." Sky Sun Douluo said coldly.

Su Ling smiled and said, "Didn't you just say, regardless of life or death, no grudges held? Why are you here now?"

"You are already at this age. If you want to fight, I will accompany you. Let's see if the Tianyang Empire will still be as strong as it is now once you are dead."

"The affairs of my Tianyang Empire are not for you to worry about. Not eliminating you today is the greatest crisis for my Tianyang Empire."

Su Ling said, "Good, very good. I gave you a chance, but this place is not suitable for a fight."

After speaking, Su Ling leaped into the sky.

Sky Sun Douluo said, "Just as I intended."

Regarding this Sky Sun Douluo, Dongfang Yueying had also educated him before coming. His Martial Soul was the sun, and he could use a large portion of the sun's power. He was much stronger than Haoyang Douluo and was recognized as the number one powerhouse on the continent.

"Sect Master Dongfang, are you not worried about your Su Elder?" Heavenly Moon Douluo said lightly.

Dongfang Yueying responded with a smile, "Heavenly Moon Douluo, why should I be worried? Back then, Saint Tiger Douluo couldn't even withstand one move in front of him. Su Ling's spirit rings are all real. The title of the number one powerhouse on the continent should change hands today."

Today, Su Ling had brought Dongfang Yueying to establish the prestige of the Sun Moon Sect.

It was just a pity that Dongfang Yueying did not find a chance to make a move. After all, the opponents all rushed at Su Ling, which made her feel a little embarrassed.

However, recalling her relationship with Su Ling, this did not seem to matter anymore.

Su Ling is the number one powerhouse on the Sun Moon Continent; the effect might be even better than hers, and in the future, no one will dare to provoke the Sun Moon Sect.

"Very well, then we shall wait and see," Heavenly Moon Douluo said. If Su Ling truly defeated Sky Sun Douluo today, then the relationship between their Tianyue Empire and the Sun Moon Sect would have to be re-evaluated; after all, the Sun Moon Sect is right on the border of their Empire.

However, even as they spoke, the battle in the sky had already begun.

This time, Su Ling was seen flying in the air with two pairs of wings released from behind his back, and he held the Primordial War Bow in his hand.

"Sky Sun Douluo, it seems your Soul Power is not just level 97," Su Ling said.

At this moment, Sky Sun Douluo had activated his Spirit, his body transforming into a humanoid monster burning with golden flames.

This was the effect after his Sun Spirit possession.

In an instant, the surrounding temperature seemed to rise by dozens of degrees, and even more exaggeratedly, he was continuously absorbing the power of the sun.

"Good, as expected, you noticed; I only just broke through three months ago," Sky Sun Douluo said.

No wonder he dared to challenge Su Ling. With level 98 Soul Power, after absorbing and fusing with the solar power under the scorching sun, the strength he could display was at least at the Peak of level 98, potentially even reaching level 99.

That was why Su Ling had released his external Spirit Bone along with his Spirit; this battle was not the same as the previous one.

"Good heavens, Sky Sun Douluo is level 98."

"Then that kid is finished!"

"Under the scorching sun, that is Sky Sun Douluo's home field; it's equivalent to having a natural Support bonus."

"The Sun Moon Sect's Venerable is indeed very powerful, but he had to go and provoke the number one powerhouse on the continent."

At this moment, Dongfang Yueying below was also somewhat nervous; after all, she knew that Su Ling's Soul Power was level 98.

If he were facing a level 97 Sky Sun Douluo, the chances of winning would be high, but if it were a level 98 Sky Sun Douluo, it would be hard to say.

And just at this moment, the sunlight in the sky suddenly intensified several times over.

"This is! Sky Sun Douluo's Sun Domain?"

Under the Sun Domain, ordinary Spirit Masters below could not perceive what was happening above at all; only a few Spirit Masters at the scene could see a rough idea.

"Not bad, to think you also have a Domain!"

"Then how about this one of mine?"

Su Ling's thoughts stirred, and he released the Intermediate Hunyuan Domain.

The moment the Domain was released, it began to compress Sky Sun Douluo's Sun Domain.

This was a contest between two major Domains, and the Intermediate Hunyuan Domain pressed forward almost in a state of crushing dominance.

The two types of Domains were simply not on the same level; before long, Sky Sun Douluo was completely within Su Ling's Domain.

"Scorching Sun Burns the Heavens! Break for me!" Sky Sun Douluo was anxious because he felt that within Su Ling's Domain, his body was severely restricted, so he directly used his eighth Spirit Ability.

Golden flames rampaged throughout the sky within Su Ling's Domain, striking at Su Ling's Domain in an attempt to break it open.

The strength of Su Ling's Hunyuan Domain was linked to his Soul Power, but the Intermediate Hunyuan Domain was already very strong.

Inside the Domain, under Sky Sun Douluo's Spirit Ability, the temperature did rise quite a bit, as if it could melt everything.

For Su Ling, this was nothing to fear.

Furthermore, his Sun Spirit, within the Domain, had its connection to the sun in the sky severed, making it impossible to borrow any power.

Su Ling had always rarely used Domain skills, mainly because they weren't needed most of the time.

He hadn't intended to use it today either, but since this old fellow had taken the initiative to use a Domain skill, Su Ling remembered that he also had a Domain he could use.

"No, what kind of Domain is this? How are you not afraid of my Sun True Fire?" Sky Sun Douluo was unable to borrow the power of the sun, and there was immense suppression within the Domain.

The temperature inside the Domain had already reached several hundred degrees by now, yet Su Ling opposite him remained as usual, completely unaffected.

Su Ling said with a look of disdain, "You call this Sun True Fire?"

In truth, it was not that Sky Sun Douluo was weak, but rather that this Intermediate Hunyuan Domain suppressed him too much; coupled with the inability to borrow the true power of the sun, the effect of his Sun True Fire was greatly diminished.

"Damn it!"

"I will break your Domain."

Sky Sun Douluo inspected the surroundings of the Domain and discovered that it seemed to be a small space.

But the next moment, Su Ling said, "Hey, old thing, watch out for the arrow. Do you think I don't exist at this moment? Who gave you time to study my Domain?"

A spinning arrow came flying at high speed.

Not a Spirit Ability?

Sky Sun Douluo didn't take it too seriously in his heart and only prepared to use a defensive Spirit Ability to block it, but his movements were too slow, or rather, Su Ling had used the arrow's tail-end acceleration ability.

If it had been the arrow's original speed, Sky Sun Douluo would have barely had time to deploy his defense, but the arrow's speed suddenly accelerated by 100%, which exceeded Sky Sun Douluo's limit of movement.

A sonic boom exploded throughout the Domain, and the arrow successfully pierced through Sky Sun Douluo's body.

"You..."

"This arrow of yours, how... how could it be so strong..."

Because his Soul Power could no longer Support flight, Sky Sun Douluo's body began to fall.

Su Ling then withdrew the Domain; at this point, Sky Sun Douluo definitely could not survive.

After the Domain was withdrawn, people were finally able to see.

"Eh, someone has fallen down."

"That... that is Sky Sun Douluo, his Spirit possession is gone."

With a boom, Sky Sun Douluo slammed heavily onto the arena, while Su Ling landed steadily.

"I thought you were how strong, it seems you are nothing more than this," Su Ling said indifferently.

Then he slowly walked forward; the position hit just now was Sky Sun Douluo's chest, and being able to say a few words before dying already proved that his body was very strong.

Looking at the two corpses, Su Ling began to collect the spoils of war.

No one at the scene dared to come up, and the people from the Tianyang Empire now had no temper left.

In particular, there was a middle-aged man who had come with the two great Empires; he immediately ordered his subordinates to notify all Tianyang Empire Spirit Masters to leave Tianyue City, and even the teams that had entered the finals were taken away.

Up to this point, Su Ling had also gained a lot.

Two corpses and a 100,000-year Spirit Bone were quite a good harvest.

There were eight other 10,000-year Spirit Bones, three of which were on Haoyang Douluo.

The other five were on Sky Sun Douluo; as the number one powerhouse on the continent, his set of Spirit Bones was complete.

Furthermore, there were their spatial spirit tools; Su Ling collected a total of five, but he just put them away without inspecting the contents inside.

When Su Ling returned to his original seat, he said, "Organizer, this competition must still continue; it cannot be canceled just because the Tianyang Empire is missing."

Heavenly Moon Douluo said, "Yes, what you say is reasonable. I will immediately order someone to take count and then reformulate the competition rules for the subsequent stages."

"I wonder what your title is, Elder Su?" Cold Moon Douluo said.

At this moment, Heavenly Moon Douluo and Cold Moon Douluo both increased their favorability by a certain amount, but not much, only six points each; adding them together, they were each 9 points, which was not high.

However, regarding these two women, Su Ling had never thought of pursuing them.

"Arrow God Douluo!" Su Ling responded!

"Su Ling, you are truly amazing!"

Returning to the original seat, Dongfang Yueying could not help but praise him. From this point on, the status of the Sun Moon Sect across the entire Sun Moon Continent was unshakable.

"Yueying, you will still have trouble in the future. After all, two Titled Douluo from the Tianyang Empire have died. Although they dare not retaliate on a large scale, small-scale retaliation may still exist," Su Ling transmitted his voice to Dongfang Yueying.

"It's fine. This can actually increase the competitiveness and sense of pressure for the Sun Moon Sect Disciples. Besides, with you here, who on this continent would dare to be an enemy of my Sun Moon Sect now!" Dongfang Yueying confidently responded to Su Ling via voice transmission.

"Yueying, you cannot say that. In two more months, I will be leaving this continent. Everything afterwards will still need to depend on you yourself," Su Ling responded again via voice transmission.

In fact, he also missed the goddesses on Sea God Island a little; he couldn't wait to go back and see how their second trial preparations were going, and whether they needed him to help them improve further!
