Chapter 457 - The Stargod Sword Versus The Spectral Sword (1/2)
Before Long Chen's very eyes appeared a golden dragon claw mult.i.tudes larger than his own. Each and every one of its scales sparkled with regal might as it smashed down. The instant their claws touched, an intense tremble ran down his spine and his soul power scattered apart.
The entire Imperial Sun Moon Academy was speechless. Their champion, the Holy Radiant Dragon Long Chen who ranked tenth on the Genius Youths Rankings, was smashed into the ground face first!
Tang Wulin landed beside him a moment later. He had stopped short of using his claw's crus.h.i.+ng effect. That would have been overkill. With this, the Holy Radiant Dragon Long Chen was defeated.
The entire arena was silent. Even without the soundproof barrier, it was so quiet that you could have heard a pin drop .
No one had expected to witness such a scene. After all, Long Chen was tenth on the Genius Youths Rankings! He was a Soul Ancestor with the Holy Radiant Dragon martial soul! Yet he had be thoroughly defeated in a single clas.h.!.+
The entire exchange had happened in the blink of an eye. Long Chen had frozen just before they were about to crash, leaving himself wide open to Tang Wulin's claw attack.
It had been a textbook example of restricting movements while mid-air! Except, this was normally something only mechas were capable of.
The Imperial Sun Moon Academy's team had five people remaining, and they were all gaping at Tang Wulin. They couldn't comprehend what they just saw. Tang Wulin had swatted down their almighty captain like a fly, and done it with ease. He hadn't displayed any sort of overwhelming power when he defeated Long Chen. They couldn't accept something like this!
You Dingqi snarled. He swung his Meteor Hammer over his head by the chain a few times, then threw it at Tang Wulin like a flail.
Tang Wulin kicked Long Chen's limp body off the stage to avoid any collateral damage. Once a soul master lost consciousness, their martial soul would disappear, along with the empowering effects.
Jian Mochen moved at the same time as You Dingqi. He hefted up his round s.h.i.+eld and threw it at Tang Wulin.
Kuang Zhantian let out a battle cry as she attacked too, wielding a greataxe that was engraved with a tiger pattern. It was her martial soul.
Tang Wulin faced them and waited. He raised his hands, his left curled into a fist and his right in its claw form.
He punched the Meteor Hammer with his left hand, sending it flying back with a boom without moving back an inch. Then he grabbed the s.h.i.+eld flying at him with his claw. The instant he touched it, the tiger emblem suddenly lit up began vibrating. A tiger burst out of the s.h.i.+eld, biting at Tang Wulin's face.
Is that his spirit soul? So he hid it inside his s.h.i.+eld. Tang Wulin was unfazed.
Kuang Zhantian arrived at that instant, descending on Tang Wulin her greataxe raised high above her head. She let out a barbaric cry as she chopped down, the power behind her strike frightening.
But Tang Wulin ignored her. Focusing on the s.h.i.+eld in his hand, he forced his blood essence to surge in reverse and drew forth the power of Golden Dragon Shocks the Heavens!
A draconic roar far mightier than Long Chen's rumbled through the arena. Before the tiger could reach Tang Wulin, it was struck dumb and retreated back into the s.h.i.+eld in fear. Tang Wulin tightened his grip on the s.h.i.+eld, exerting his claw's crus.h.i.+ng effect on it.
Cracks ran through Jian Mochen's Skytiger s.h.i.+eld. Seeing this, Jian Mochen immediately used his third soul skill. The s.h.i.+eld suddenly disappeared from Tang Wulin's claw and returned to Jian Mochen.
Kuang Zhantian's greataxe was upon Tang Wulin now.
A metallic clang rang out as Kuang Zhantian's greataxe was blocked by something and she was beaten back. Ye Xinglan stood between them. She had stepped in to defend her captain. After all, Tang Wulin wasn't facing them all alone!
Kuang Zhantian and You Dingqi retreated to regroup with their teammates. None of them made a move, all of their expressions clouded over.
In the opening clash, their team captain was eliminated. They were now at a disadvantage of five versus six. They still couldn't believe this happened.
Xue Liushuang glanced at her teammates. “I'll act as the subst.i.tute captain. Be careful everyone.”
