Chapter 407 - Exchange (1/2)
Yuanen Yehui didn't bother dodging Gu Yue's a.s.sault. Devil t.i.tan increased her defenses just as much as it increased her strength. Even Tang Wulin's attacks, which were empowered by Golden Dragon Body, only sent tingles through her body. The barrage of wind blades and icicles only tickled her. She swatted at Gu Yue in annoyance, but before she could land a hit, a strand of bluesilver gra.s.s wrapped around Gu Yue's waist and pulled her away. Tang Wulin had crawled back up from the floor once again and pulled Gu Yue out of harm's way. Yet, even as she retreated, Gu Yue continued to unleash an onslaught of elementals attacks upon Yuanen Yehui.
This guy! He's as tough as leather! Yuanen Yehui punched at Gu Yue, this time sending a blast of air at her, but Tang Wulin pulled her out of the way again. He then charged Yuanen Yehui with renewed vigor, throwing a bun into his mouth as he ran.
A Bloodthirst Bean Bun? Yuanen Yehui recognized it instantly. That's why Gu Yue ran over! She was delivering a bean bun! Yuanen Yehui knew that Devil t.i.tan wouldn't last much longer. She was already finding it difficult to defeat Tang Wulin, but now he had a Bloodthirst Bean Bun! If she didn't finish him now, then it would be impossible for her to win. The Bloodthirst effect would definitely outlast her transformation. I can't let things go his way!
She steeled herself, resolution glimmering in her eyes. She raised her muscular arms then smashed them down onto the stage! The ground rumbled and quaked, a seismic wave spreading outward and knocking Tang Wulin and Gu Yue into the air.
Yuanen Yehui immediately continued her offensive. She leaped over to the two with lightning speed and smashed her fists down on them!
Tang Wulin had only just swallowed the bean bun when the shockwave knocked him into the air. The effects of the bun had yet to take hold.
But in that moment of crisis, the most unexpected thing occurred.
In a flash of silver, Tang Wulin was teleported to Gu Yue's side. She wrapped an arm around his waist and thrust a palm outward to meet Yuanen Yehui's fists. Only those with the keenest of eyes were able to see that, right before her palm met Yuanen Yehui's fists, an iridescent flash of energy appeared in it.
It was a whirlpool of s.p.a.ce, light, water, fire, and earth!
In the next instant, Yuanen's fists made contact, and Gu Yue and Tang Wulin were spinning backward. Tang Wulin subconsciously wrapped his body around Gu Yue's as they were sent flying. Yet Yuanen Yehui didn't come away from the exchange unscathed either. The whirlpool of elements had latched on to her arms and began to spread, sending s.h.i.+vers through her body.
“Elemental chaos?” The Holy Spirit Douluo stared wide-eyed. All of the t.i.tled Douluos on the platform above moved to the edge of their seats.
A small golden snake appeared in a flash of light, wrapping around Tang Wulin and Gu Yue to soften their landing. It absorbed the impact as they bounced to the ground, allowing Tang Wulin to remain on his feet upon touching down. He managed to only stumble a few steps even with Gu Yue in his arms. After skidding to a stop, Tang Wulin coughed up a mouthful of blood. His body had taken quite the beating from going round after round with Yuanen Yehui. Even after eating the bean bun, his body felt heavy.
“How are you doing?” Gu Yue asked.
Tang Wulin shook his head. “I'm fine. The Bloodthirst effect is kicking in.”
“Okay. Go help Xinglan then. I can handle this.”
“Alright.” Tang Wulin took in two deep breaths, then took off running toward Ye Xinglan.
While the two were talking, Yuanen Yehui had been waving her arms frantically in an attempt to rid herself of the whirlpool's effects. In the end, she managed to disperse the five elements clinging to her, but not before the hairs on her arms were heavily damaged. In the interest of dealing a decisive blow, she had even used her broken right arm in the strike she just threw, relying on pure willpower to move the fractured bones. Her strength was waning. Devil t.i.tan was wearing off.
