Douluo: Star-Breaking Sword God

Chapter 48: Trash Brother
To Huo Wu's surprise, Ling Qianyao did not choose to pursue, but instead retreated continuously, handing the head that was already within his grasp to her.

"Don't get me wrong, I have a dream of becoming a support-type spirit master. I'm not good at killing, so let me catch some fish. You and Zhu Qing will decide the winner."

"you!"

Huo Wu's eyes widened, anger and confusion intertwined on her face.

She had just rescued Huo Wushuang and was about to compete with Ling Qianyao, but she didn't expect Ling Qianyao to say this.

"Are you insulting us?" Huo Wu gritted her teeth and glared at Ling Qianyao. The fire in her eyes seemed to turn Ling Qianyao's contempt into ashes.

"No, it's just that Zhuqing and I agreed that my role in this game is indeed supporting, so you should be careful." Ling Qianyao said lightly, with no ripples in his eyes.

"Assist? I believed your lies!" Huo Wushuang grinned and cursed in his heart.

"Thorn-"

The sound of breaking air whizzed past the ears of the quick-reacting Huo Wu. She glared at Ling Qianyao, picked up Huo Wushuang and retreated several steps, away from the dangerous sword energy range.

"Brother, how are you?" she asked anxiously.

"Cough," he spat out a mouthful of blood, his face pale. "It's okay, it doesn't hurt~~ (trembling) He hit me very accurately, hitting my scale-covered back. He was holding back. I still have about 30% of my soul power."

"Okay." Huo Wu glanced at the two giant sword shadows still in the sky, then looked at the seven sword auras faintly lingering on the Star-Breaking Sword in Ling Qianyao's hand, and a trace of unwillingness flashed in her eyes.

She didn't understand why Ling Qianyao could ignore her Fiery Prison. If Ling Qianyao could be trapped in the Fiery Prison, even if they were slowed down and had their status reduced, as long as the attack hit, the result would not be as one-sided as it is now.

What's more, I don't understand why Ling Qianyao's soul skills are so comprehensive. He has buffs, debuffs, and powerful attacks!
"Hmph, Agility Attack Spirit Masters are naturally restrained by Control Spirit Masters like me. Don't be so arrogant!"

Huo Wushuang had come behind Huo Wu without her knowing when, and placed one hand on her shoulder. His soul power seemed to condense into substance and kept gathering towards Huo Wu.

"The second soul skill - Hundred Claws of the Netherworld!"

"Third Soul Skill - Resist Fire Ring!"

Huo Wu roared angrily, and crimson soul power surged out of her body, forming a three-meter-high circular ring of blazing fire, which spread out in all directions and instantly reached Zhu Zhuqing.

The fire ring had a strong repulsive force that blew away all the debris around it, and heat waves rolled in.

As long as the opponent's attack skills do not exceed her own soul power level ten or more, she can ignore any skills and defenses, and all skills within the range of the fire ring will be temporarily expelled.

Taking advantage of the moment when Zhu Zhuqing was bounced away by the resistance fire ring, Huo Wu and the other two approached Zhu Zhuqing in an instant, and two sharp attacks attacked Zhu Zhuqing at the same time.

"boom--"

The attacks of the two men hit exactly where Zhu Zhuqing was originally, but they only stirred up a cloud of dust and an empty echo.

Huo Wu and Huo Wushuang were stunned, and then their faces changed drastically, because they found that Zhu Zhuqing's figure had disappeared from the spot.

"Oh no, it's an illusion!" Huo Wu reacted suddenly. He looked around, but only saw three star-like illusions flickering in the firelight, each of which was difficult to distinguish from Zhu Zhuqing's real body.

"The third soul skill - Star Shadow Phantom Kill!" Zhu Zhuqing's voice sounded in the ears of Huo Wu and Huo Wushuang, with a hint of sneer.

At the moment of resisting the spread of the fire ring, Zhu Zhuqing had used her third soul skill to separate out three phantoms, while her real body took the opportunity to hide.

"First soul skill - flaming vortex!" Huo Wu anxiously mobilized the little remaining soul power in her body.

"Oh, sorry." In Huo Wu's suddenly shrinking pupils, Zhu Zhuqing's attack this time was not affected by the vortex.

The three starlight phantoms simultaneously released their soul skill Netherworld Hundred Claws. The superimposed star eclipse effect actually caused a momentary vacuum in the flames around them!

Zhu Zhuqing passed through the flames but was not affected at all.

"What kind of soul skill is this?" Huo Wu widened her eyes, her face full of disbelief.

She had never seen such a strange soul skill that could actually devour the energy of fire, and the eclipse effect seemed to carry some kind of corrosive power, causing their protective soul power to feel a sharp pain.

When Zhu Zhuqing approached, Huo Wushuang sent out his last ripple, giving all his soul power to Huo Wu, and he fell down.

A hint of determination flashed in Huo Wu's eyes, and she actually directly controlled her martial soul and chose to explode.

"Ah——!" Huo Wu let out a deafening roar, and all the soul power in her body surged out like a flood bursting through a dam. Flames soared into the air and spread in all directions.

Zhu Zhuqing and her three phantom clones faced the flames and stretched out their claws towards Huo Wu.

"puff--"

Huo Wu flew backwards, and on the way, perhaps by coincidence, her foot kicked Huo Wushuang's head, making him dizzy.

The flames and star curtain on the ring disappeared at the same time, and the fighting arena erupted with an unprecedented roar. The audience's exclamations came one after another, shocked by this sudden reversal and fierce confrontation.

Huo Wu fell heavily to the ground, smoke and dust rose up, her hair was disheveled, her face was covered with traces of sweat and dust, but her eyes were burning with unwilling anger.

She struggled to get up, but found that her soul power was almost exhausted, and she didn't even have the strength to stand.

"The winner is Qingyao Phantom!" the referee announced the result.

"hateful!"

She pounded the ground with her fist.

"Do you need help?" Ling Qianyao slowly walked to her side, holding the Star-Breaking Sword in his arms and looking at Huo Wu.

"Hmph! No need!" Huo Wu gritted her teeth and turned her head away. "Just wait, sooner or later I will defeat you!"

Ling Qianyao thought about the fire immunity he had gained after completing the Ice and Fire Alchemy Body, and shook his head. "Your life will probably be very difficult."
Several streams of soul power shot out from his fingertips and hit several acupuncture points on Huo Wu.

"Hmm?" Huo Wu frowned slightly. She suddenly felt that the speed of her soul power recovery had increased a lot.

"pat-"

Zhu Zhuqing grabbed Huo Wushuang by the collar and placed him next to Huo Wu. "He's so annoying, he keeps asking to see you."

"Sister, where is my sister? Are you okay?" Huo Wushuang asked anxiously.

"fine."

"Phew, okay, thank you both for showing mercy." He said to Ling Qianyao and the others with emotion.

"Brother!" Huo Wu felt her cheeks flush. After recovering a little, she leaped up and grabbed Huo Wushuang's collar. She looked at Ling Qianyao and the others, "Wait, I'll avenge my previous shame. Soon!"

"What a shame, useless old man!" She imitated Zhu Zhuqing's movements and dragged Huo Wushuang away.
