Chapter 458 - A Fierce Clash (1/2)
Ye Xinglan pointed her sword at the ground, her eyes flas.h.i.+ng with battle l.u.s.t.
The StarG.o.d Sword Arts and the Spectral Sword Arts were ancient sword arts pa.s.sed down through their respective clans. Both were wors.h.i.+pped as divine techniques for thousands of years.
In the continent of Douluo's lengthy history, rarely had these two sword arts surfaced. But now, they clashed. The two girls sought for dominance and fought for curiosity. For pride.
Like its name suggested, the StarG.o.d Sword Arts harnessed the power of the stars. The Spectral Sword Arts, on the other hand, harnessed the cold to split light into its spectrum. Both were profound sword arts. As such, victory would be decided by cultivation level and sword comprehension.
Upon the activation of her first soul skill, Sword G.o.d's Star, Ye Xinglan's StarG.o.d Sword pierced through the skies. Thousands of stars manifested, bathing their surroundings in their brilliant glow. They condensed rapidly until they were in the form of a sword. And these stellar swords burst forward
Xue Liushuang flicked her Glacial Sword, tracing an arc in the air to deflect the attack. The clink of metal filled the air.
Their showdown was in full swing.
Meanwhile, Tang Wulin had bypa.s.sed Xue Liushuang, charging straight at Jian Mochen.
Skytiger s.h.i.+eld. A s.h.i.+eld-type martial soul special in that its offensive power was as great as its defensive capabilities. It was rated as one of the best martial souls. When Jian Mochen combined it with a tiger type spirit soul, the effect was amazing.
In the short period they had stood in a stand-off, the cracks on his s.h.i.+eld faded away. But Jian Mochen was still on alert against Tang Wulin, especially his golden dragon claw. As Tang Wulin approached, he thrust out his s.h.i.+eld in defense.
Purple light flashed around Tang Wulin's form. In the next moment, spears of bluesilver gra.s.s pierced through the ground. Bluesilver Impaling Array!
No one could have imagined that after showing such domineering might, Tang Wulin would unleash a crowd control skill!
In Jian Mochen's moment of shock, he left himself open to the attack. His body went rigid as the gra.s.s impaled him. Then Tang Wulin was upon him, slas.h.i.+ng down his claw at the Skytiger s.h.i.+eld.
As long as he could take out Jian Mochen, he believed victory would be theirs.
A pair of roars thundered through the arena. Though stunned, Jian Mochen watched as his two tiger spirit souls jumped out of his s.h.i.+eld in his defense. One was shrouded in flames. The other gave off a brilliant radiance. They were fire-attribute and light-attribute spirit souls!
The two tigers pounced on Tang Wulin simultaneously, their flames and light combining to create an effect reminiscent of Yue Zhengyu's holy aura. Tang Wulin retreated a step, giving Jian Mochen the s.p.a.ce needed to break free. He quickly recalled the tigers to his s.h.i.+eld to empower it once more.
During the offensive, Jian Mochen was limited to one spirit soul in empowering his s.h.i.+eld. On the defensive, however, he could utilize two. He was like a fortress.
A gigantic axe burst out from behind Jian Mochen, zooming toward Tang Wulin like a bolt of lightning. Tang Wulin punched it away with his claw. But what came next hit him with surprise. The axe carried a spiritual attack! A tiger erupted out of the axe, identical in appearance to the light-attribute one from the Skytiger s.h.i.+eld. It opened its maws wide in an attempt to bite off his head.
