Volume 27, Chapter 322: Yamas Invitation (1/2)

Huo Yuhao knew that Long Aotian was much stronger than him, but that he still had a fighting chance. After fighting Long Aotian, he had gained a deeper understanding of his abilities. If he could regain his mobility and absorb all the origin energy of Ultimate Ice in his body, his cultivation would reach the level of a Soul Emperor. When that happened, he was confident of challenging Long Aotian through his various fighting methods.

Wang Dong’er pushed Huo Yuhao off the stage and immediately stood behind him to massage his shoulders. Huo Yuhao also had a Milk Bottle in his hand, and started to recover his soul power.

Even though he had lost this fight, the Tang Sect still held the advantage. Among the three who had competed from the Snowdemon Sect, Chen Lu was definitely unable to compete in the team round. This meant that they were already a man down for the team round.

Xu Sanshi stood up. It was the first time he was so serious in this tournament. The strength of his opponent also motivated his own fighting will.

“Second competing member from the Tang Sect, please come up to the stage.” Zheng Zhan seemed to be a little lost after witnessing such an exciting fight. However, he still continued to manage the proceedings of this individual elimination round.

Xu Sanshi was about to walk up to the stage, but he heard a voice calling, “Wait a minute.”

He was a little puzzled as he stopped. He turned to Jiang Nannan beside him.

Jiang Nannan stood up and looked at him with a passionate gaze. She said softly, “Return safely.” As she spoke, she hugged Xu Sanshi’s neck in front of everyone before pecking him on the cheek.

Xu Sanshi was stunned. Xiao Xiao was the shyest among the three ladies of the Shrek’s Seven Monsters. However, Jiang Nannan was the most conservative. He was lucky when she was willing to hold his hand. Even if he pestered her for a month, he might not even be able to kiss her.

However, Jiang Nannan now took the initiative to kiss him in front of everyone. Furthermore, she wasn’t encouraging him to win.

She had asked him to return safely. It was just a simple few words! However, Xu Sanshi’s blood surged.

He hugged Jiang Nannan tightly and let out a loud whistle. He stomped his right foot on the ground and jumped up onto the stage

He was too excited. He was even blushing slightly. His entire aura also seemed a little unstable. However, this instability made him seem like a volcano that was about to erupt. He was under great pressure.

He took big steps forward and came to the center of the stage. He nodded at the referee.

In the Tang Sect’s waiting area, Bei Bei gave Jiang Nannan a thumbs-up. Everyone from the Tang Sect knew that Jiang Nannan was the greatest motivation for Xu Sanshi. Jiang Nannan was his greatest weakness, but she was also a catalyst to him.

Xiao Xiao laughed. She copied Jiang Nannan’s gentle voice and said, “Return safely.”

Jiang Nannan blushed. “I hope that everyone can return safely.”

Bei Bei teased, “Then you should give me a kiss when I compete later and tell me to return safely. Alright?”

Jiang Nannan snapped, “Bei Bei, keep dreaming. Xiao Ya is watching.”

Bei Bei’s expression turned stiff. He laughed bitterly and shook his head.

Jiang Nannan appeared very apologetic after she said that, and hurriedly said, “Sorry, I…”

Bei Bei smiled and said, “No worries, I’ll make sure Xiao Ya returns safely as well.” As he said this, there was a strong sense of belief that came from him. However, everyone could feel how desperate he was.

Bei Bei turned to Huo Yuhao and softly asked, “Yuhao, what is his martial soul?”

Huo Yuhao replied, “His martial soul should be his skin. It’s very rare among body souls. I communicated this to second senior earlier.”

Bei Bei furrowed his brow. “Does that mean that he has no flaws?”

Huo Yuhao answered, “He is really strong. He must have invented his own fighting skill, and even has a very deep comprehension of it. His cultivation has even reached the realm of the Unity of Heaven and Man. To him, soul skills won’t make a big difference. His body is his strongest soul skill. He’s very scary.”

After he finished saying this, he shut his eyes and continued to replenish his soul power. In his mind, scenes of his fight with Long Aotian also replayed continuously, especially the last clash between them.

Ancestor Tang San, I’m sorry. I wasn’t able to carry on the Tang Sect’s reputation of having the best, top-ranked hidden weapons on the continent. However, I only used half of the power of that ultimate technique. He would have died if it were paired with lethal poison.

If Yama tells someone to die, no one will dare to delay. This ultimate technique was ranked third among the Three Great Hidden Weapon Techniques of the Tang Sect that Tang San left in the Poison Scripture, Yama’s Invitation!

Yama’s Invitation, a hidden weapon that could chase one’s soul and seize it forcibly!

Huo Yuhao had used his self-invented Goddess of Light’s fighting technique to imitate Yama’s Invitation. This had depleted all his remaining soul power. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have conceded defeat.

Long Aotian was too strong. There was no way he could have weakened him without using such a method. Long Aotian was a seven-ringed Soul Sage who could exhibit a Martial Soul True Body. If everyone from the Tang Sect only competed based on their order, they might have to pay a huge price even if they could defeat him. If that happened, what would they do in the team round later on?

This was why Huo Yuhao had sacrificed all his soul power to use the Yama’s Invitation.

Although Long Aotian managed to resist his attack, he was still eventually hurt. Furthermore, Huo Yuhao could also confirm that he was hurt quite badly.

Yama’s Invitation had two deadly ways to kill its target.

The first was lethal poison. Huo Yuhao hadn’t had time to research the poison chapter that Tang San left behind in depth. As a result, he couldn’t re-create the true Yama’s Invitation. That was why he couldn’t truly utilise this deadly technique. This was why he said he’d only exhibited a part of Yama’s Invitation.

The second one was the actual Yama’s Invitation. There was a special technique to unleash it. It fused the Controlling Crane, Capturing Dragon, Purple Demon Eyes, Mysterious Heaven Technique, Mysterious Jade Hands and many other abilities. It also greatly depleted one’s soul power. Furthermore, it didn’t matter what rank a soul master was in – the depletion would be equally great. It was just that the strength of Yama’s Invitation would increase depending on one’s cultivation.
