"You really have a knack for choosing."
Sword Douluo was helpless; he had to prepare to make a move. On the surface, he remained composed, but inwardly he was exasperated.
"This kid actually wants this Nine-Sectioned Jade Soul Ring."
Flande looked a bit worried. It was indeed the Nine-Sectioned Jade, and he feared Ye Yu might not be able to withstand it. Although he wanted to advise against it, during the previous soul beast hunts, Ye Yu succeeded despite his concerns, so he quickly stepped back without saying anything.
The poison from the Nine-Sectioned Jade was extremely potent. A sixty-thousand-year-old Nine-Sectioned Jade, if encountered by him and Zhao Wuji, would make them flee without hesitation.
Flande sighed lightly, "The Nine-Sectioned Jade is exceptionally troublesome. Even a level 95 Sword Douluo wouldn't have it easy."
Ye Yu said, "With my support, combined with Elder Jian's strength, it will be much easier."
Ye Yu released the Nine Spirits Black Begonia, directly boosting Sword Douluo with the Second and Third Soul Skills.
Instantly, Sword Douluo was greatly moved, feeling a significant enhancement in his power and defense!
Sword Douluo was surprised, "What a powerful support ability. It truly is a support type, unbelievable."
Sword Douluo firmly believed that Ye Yu had limitless potential.
Ye Yu said, "My Second Soul Skill can now boost strength by forty percent and defense by thirty-five percent. The Third Soul Skill, since the opponent is a sixty-thousand-year soul beast, increases your attack power by forty percent, and your attack will instantly reduce the opponent's defense by thirty-five percent."
Upon hearing this, Sword Douluo was shocked. Such a powerful support ability! It was even more impressive than the Seven Treasures Glaze Tower! How… how is this possible?
"What's your martial soul called?" Sword Douluo was astonished, as he had never heard of it before.
"Nine Spirits Black Begonia."
Upon hearing this, Sword Douluo frowned, as he still hadn't heard of it, though he did know about the Nine-Hearted Begonia.
Ye Yu's support significantly boosted Sword Douluo's strength. Facing the sixty-thousand-year-old Nine-Sectioned Jade, which was previously seen as somewhat tricky, now felt like it posed no pressure.
This is the power of the support type: the stronger the target, the greater the impact. However, it was nonetheless a Titled Douluo, and Ye Yu's soul power was rapidly depleting.
Sword Douluo charged forward with his sword, surrounded by flowing sword qi, radiating a murderous aura, with sword qi crisscrossing.
The battle began, with Ye Yu standing behind Flande, watching the battle unfold from a hundred meters away.
The battle was extremely shocking, allowing Ye Yu to witness the might of a Titled Douluo firsthand. Even a single strand of the countless sword qi could pose a threat to him— this was the disparity.
A sixty-thousand-year-old Nine-Sectioned Jade was formidable enough to intimidate even an eighty-thousand-year-old soul beast. A Soul Douluo couldn't take it down, and even a ninety-first level Titled Douluo found it tricky. However, Sword Douluo at level ninety-five, with Ye Yu's support, and the powerful martial soul Seven Kills Sword, could now contend with a Titled Douluo at level ninety-six.
Among Titled Douluo, the difference in power between each level was significant, especially after level ninety-five. Sword Douluo now felt he could defeat a level ninety-six Titled Douluo, able to stand undefeated even in a seven-level battle, due to his strong martial soul and the support from Ye Yu.
When Sword Douluo used the Sixth Soul Skill, All Swords Return to the Sect, soul power condensed into thousands of swords crisscrossing, causing the Nine-Sectioned Jade to scream continuously, and then the thousands of swords merged into a giant sword, with enormous attack power and range.
The Nine-Sectioned Jade also displayed its terrifying abilities, continuously corroding the sword qi with poisonous mist, making Sword Douluo handle with extreme caution.
Sword Douluo knew he had to resolve this quickly; against poison users, a prolonged battle was not viable.
Sword Douluo directly used the Seventh Soul Skill, Seven Kills True Body, doubling his combat strength, increasing his attack power. Moreover, he had an extremely powerful soul skill, Heaven and Earth Creation.
From afar, Flande was also shocked, watching the distant battle, realizing the humongous gap between himself and Sword Douluo; he wouldn't last ten moves against him.
Explosions echoed continuously, sword qi rampant, chilling to the bone, scaring nearby soul beasts into fleeing, not daring to approach.
Sword Douluo took the battle seriously; the Nine-Sectioned Jade was severely injured but not beaten enough; it needed to be on its last legs. Even with heavy injuries, it was still a sixty-thousand-year-old soul beast; incapacitating it enough for a level forty Soul Venerable to defeat in under an hour was tough. However, he felt Ye Yu would manage.
Sword Douluo was serious, partly because it was the Nine-Sectioned Jade, and partly because they were already deep in the Xingdou Forest, fearing the battle might attract powerful soul beasts from the core area.
Strong soul beasts were extremely hostile towards humans, especially Titled Douluo, making core area soul beasts more hostile.
Soul Saints or Soul Douluo wouldn't be too hostile as they didn't feel threatened, but if Titled Douluo entered, they'd be alert and hostile. Hence, no Titled Douluo would enter Xingdou Forest's depths alone, as it could easily provoke hostility from core area soul beasts.
Because they knew, a Titled Douluo entering generally means they intend to attack them.
This is why Titled Douluo never venture into the core area alone; without several Titled Douluo teaming up, it's too risky to enter.
At this time, in the Xingdou Forest's core area.
The Celestial Cyan Bull Python rose from the lake, speaking in a deep voice, "A Titled Douluo human strongman has entered the forest's depths."
The Titan Giant Ape was alert and hostile, "I sense it too, bro, it seems to be just one Titled Douluo."
The Celestial Cyan Bull Python nodded, "A Titled Douluo entering alone is rare; they always team up to hunt soul beasts around ninety thousand years in the core."
The Titan Giant Ape felt it, "He's gradually approaching the core area."
At this moment, the Nine-Sectioned Jade knew it was outmatched, retreating toward the core area during the fight, which made Sword Douluo furrow his brows; he wouldn't enter the core area alone.
At this point, the Celestial Cyan Bull Python carefully sensed, "It's indeed just one."
"Then we needn't worry about a bait trap. Bro, I'll go have a look; if he dares to come in, let him witness my might!"
"Alright, you go then."
The Celestial Cyan Bull Python could sense the opponent's strength, around level ninety-five, posing no threat to the Titan Giant Ape.
He knows Er Ming's strength well; to pose a life-threatening danger to Er Ming, at least three to four strong Titled Douluo would be necessary.
The Nine-Sectioned Jade's injuries were worsening, making movement difficult, making it impossible to enter the core area, but not yet on its last legs.
Ye Yu could see Sword Douluo's worry and said, "Elder, it's enough. I'll deliver the final blow now, absorb it quickly, and then leave here. If a hundred-thousand-year soul beast appears, it would pose a threat to you."
Sword Douluo had done him a great favor by helping hunt the sixty-thousand-year Nine-Sectioned Jade, and he couldn't let Sword Douluo face danger due to lack of familiarity.
Sword Douluo was surprised, "Although it's heavily injured, it's still a sixty-thousand-year Nine-Sectioned Jade. Even with such injuries, a level fifty-five and above Soul King would find it hard to kill quickly. Give me one more minute."
"No need."
Ye Yu shook his head, covering his right hand over his face, directly going into Complete Voidification! Simultaneously, his left arm was covered with a golden soul bone enveloping his entire left arm.
Ye Yu charged ahead, unleashing his full strength, delivering a full-force punch to the Nine-Sectioned Jade's head!
Crack!
The sound of bones cracking was heard. The heavily injured Nine-Sectioned Jade let out a shrill wail before its snake head crashed down, lying motionless.
Sword Douluo was stunned, "It's dead..."
