Douluo: Wuhun Eats Iron Beast, Never Become a Slave

Chapter 166 My body is like a sword, man and sword are one!

Besides Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong, Bone Douluo and Ning Fengzhi are both people with good judgment.

At this moment, they also discovered the Soul Arena... well, the Soul Arena no longer exists, and they have noticed the subtle changes in the situation within it.

If before Sword Douluo was the stronger force, overwhelming Zhao Mu and Zhao Mu could only use that strange forest technique to buy time, now, Zhao Mu's aura seems to have subtly... surpassed Sword Douluo's?!

Especially with Zhao Mu's figure undergoing a special change, this feeling became even more real and intense.

The unusual change they saw was simply that Zhao Mu had broken free from the state of nothingness and returned to reality.

Bone Douluo and Ning Fengzhi exchanged a glance, both feeling a sense of unreality.

Has the balance of power truly shifted?!

"Seventh Soul Skill, Seven Killing True Form!"

Sword Douluo's sudden surge in aura drew everyone's attention back to him.

How could the roles of offense and defense possibly shift? That's Jian Daochenxin; how could he possibly be content with just defending?
With Sword Douluo using his Martial Soul True Body, it signified that he was truly getting serious.

Despite feeling the increasingly sharp sword energy, Zhao Mu's expression remained unchanged.

Because everything is within their own calculations.

When Zhao Mu attacked the wooden dragon and wooden man before Sword Douluo, he was actually assessing Sword Douluo's strength.

The Martial Soul True Body would increase Sword Douluo's power by about 30%, all of which was within Zhao Mu's calculations.

Zhao Mu even left room for special circumstances, such as Sword Douluo suddenly unleashing his full potential, since those who wield swords are prone to exceeding their usual level.

Even so, in Zhao Mu's calculations, his current strength was enough to suppress Sword Douluo.

Following Sword Douluo's display of his Martial Soul True Form, Zhao Mu also made his move once again.

With his hands clasped together, Zhao Mu exuded an even more imposing aura compared to his previous calm demeanor.

"The Imperial Realm of Wood, A Thousand-Armed Buddha!"

Boom boom boom~
With a series of muffled tremors, a thousand-armed Buddha statue, standing thirty to forty meters tall, appeared at the gate of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile School. The enormous commotion drew the attention of all the disciples.

"This..." Bone Douluo and Ning Fengzhi were completely speechless. Putting aside everything else, their enormous size alone gave everyone a sense of invincibility.

Even Ning Rongrong, who was always quick to mock Zhao Mu, was speechless at this moment.

Zhu Zhuqing was also stunned.

"True strength? Is this his true strength?"

As the Sword Douluo who directly confronted the Thousand-Handed Buddha statue, the pressure was naturally much greater than that of the others.

But Sword Douluo's fighting spirit is also stronger than others.

Gripping the Seven Kill Sword tightly, Sword Douluo's sixth spirit ring lit up, and his sixth spirit skill was released once again.

"The sixth soul skill, Ten Thousand Swords Return to the Sect!"

Both are sixth soul skills, but this is the sixth soul skill after unleashing the true form of the martial soul, so their power is naturally incomparable.

In an instant, ten thousand swords converged, pointing directly at Zhao Mu.

This time, Zhao Mu certainly wouldn't just sit idly by and wait to die.

"The Imperial Domain of Wood, the Buddha Atop the Peak!"

Whether it's the Thousand Hands Buddha or the Buddha on the Top, these are skills that Zhao Mu usually can't use. The reason he was able to use them this time is because his strength was increased six or seven times under the amplification of the Blue Silver True Body and the Nine Li Radiant Heaven Banner, which allowed him to use them.

As Zhao Mu's soul power surged, the Thousand-Hand Buddha statue immediately began to swing its wooden fists and smash towards Sword Douluo.

Sword Douluo also let out a long shout, and thrust forward with the power of ten thousand swords.

A series of azure sword energies collided with wooden fists, creating a series of loud explosions.

Both sides used wide-area damage skills, so their momentum naturally reached its peak.

The onlookers swallowed hard; a battle of this caliber was a rare sight. The clash lasted a full minute, during which the two exchanged blows at least thousands of times.

As the clash ended, everyone watching the two sides was speechless with shock.

Sword Douluo lost?
Or rather, Sword Douluo was at a disadvantage.

At this moment, Sword Douluo's robes were no longer neat, and were even torn in many places, while the crimson at the corner of his mouth was extremely conspicuous.

On the contrary, Zhao Mu stood with his arms crossed on the Thousand-Hand Buddha statue, his robes fluttering, only slightly stained with dust, showing no signs of damage.

Under Zhao Mu's control, the Thousand-Hand Buddha statue once again stretched out its large hand and pressed down on Sword Douluo.

Although it was only one hand, unlike the previous thousand-handed attack, this hand was much larger than the previous palms.

Despite Zhao Mu's attack, Sword Douluo's fighting spirit remained undiminished, and the ninth spirit ring on the outermost ring of his body finally lit up with a deep black light.

"The ninth soul skill, kill both gods and demons!"

This is the strongest single-target attack among all of Sword Douluo's soul skills. With a single slash, it seems as if even space and time are torn apart, directly severing the giant hand of the Thousand-Hand Buddha statue. The remaining light does not diminish, and it crashes straight into the front of the Thousand-Hand Buddha statue, causing the statue to sway and become unstable.

"Zhao Mu is strong, but Chen Xin may still have a chance."

Seeing his friend gain the upper hand with a single sword strike and begin to shake the massive Buddha statue, Bone Douluo's tense nerves relaxed for a moment.

However, Ning Fengzhi was not as optimistic as Bone Douluo.

Ning Fengzhi isn't good at fighting, but he's good at observation, which is a must-learn skill for support-type Soul Masters, making it easier to escape and survive.

Ning Fengzhi keenly sensed that Zhao Mu's aura seemed to be constantly rising, which meant that the opponent's strength was still increasing.

With his gaze wandering around, Ning Fengzhi quickly spotted the dark red banner stuck among the ruins.

The dark red flag emitted an eerie red glow.
Is it that flag that's boosting Zhao Mu's power?!
What the hell is this?
Wait a minute, as a Soul Master of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, Ning Fengzhi had a strange intuition.

His intuition told him that the dark red flag was related to the batch of metal materials that Zhao Mu had asked for earlier!
Ning Fengzhi had always had unwavering faith in his intuition.

"Uncle Jian, it's that flag! That flag is constantly increasing Zhao Mu's strength!"

This high-stakes gamble involved many people, and Ning Fengzhi disregarded gentlemanly conduct, directly shouting a reminder to Sword Douluo.

At Ning Fengzhi's prompting, Sword Douluo's gaze also fell upon the dark red banner.

His eighth spirit ring also lit up.

"Eighth Soul Skill: Moving Mountains and Filling Seas!"

With the Seven Kill Sword in front of him, Sword Douluo immediately split into multiple sword shadows to attack. One part attacked Zhao Mu, while the other part attacked the Nine Li Yaotian Banner.

However, when it comes to speed, Sword Douluo has probably chosen the wrong opponent.

With the activation of the Soft Bone Rabbit Soul Bone skill, Zhao Mu instantly appeared beside the Nine Li Radiant Heaven Banner.

The Nine Li Yaotian Banner naturally bears Zhao Mu's mark.

With the Nine Li Yaotian Banner on his back, Zhao Mu instantly returned to the Thousand-Hand Buddha statue.

As for Sword Douluo's eighth soul skill attack, it was all blocked by the Thousand-Hand Buddha statue once again.

After all, each sword shadow attack of Sword Douluo's eighth soul skill only possesses 80% of the attack power of the main body, so it naturally cannot shake the Thousand-Hand Buddha statue.

At this moment, it is probably impossible to destroy the Nine Li Yaotian Banner. The only way out for Sword Douluo is to defeat Zhao Mu head-on.

Moreover, it cannot be delayed; the longer it is delayed, the stronger Zhao Mu's strength will be.

To surpass the attack power of his ninth soul skill, Divine Demon Slash, he would need an even purer sword intent.

Sword Douluo slowly closed his eyes, completely emptying his mind and body, and then attempted to fuse his martial soul with himself.

At that moment, Sword Douluo seemed to have truly discovered and grasped that sliver of opportunity.

"My body is like a sword; man and sword are one!"
