Within the dense jungle.
Two figures were engaged in a fierce collision.
The resulting shockwaves knocked down several large trees.
Facing the aggressive assault of Martial Soul Fiend, Rhino Douluo naturally showed no fear.
Although his Raging Rhino had mutated into an attack system, it still retained extremely strong defensive capabilities.
He could attack when advancing and defend when retreating.
Under normal circumstances, Rhino Douluo would have a seventy percent chance of defeating his opponent.
Unfortunately.
This time, his heart was also concerned for Golden Crown.
He simply couldn't afford to fight a steady, calculated battle.
After several rounds of exchange.
Following another intense clash, the two retreated away from each other.
Martial Soul Fiend gave a sinister laugh. "Hahaha, not bad, old man. I didn't expect you'd actually be able to fight this great me to a draw."
"Pity. You are destined to become a stepping stone on our path of cultivation today."
"The battle on my brother's side should be nearing its end."
"You animal!"
"Seventh Spirit Ability! Martial Soul True Body!"
Rhino Douluo immediately unleashed his Martial Soul True Body.
His body, which was already in a beastified state, now turned a glowing red heat.
This was a unique characteristic of a Beast Spirit after activating its Martial Soul True Body.
Berserk!
In this state, a Beast Soul Master's combat power would increase several times over.
"Oh my, a Martial Soul True Body is so scary."
"However, this great me has one too!"
"Seventh Spirit Ability, Martial Soul True Body!"
Immediately after, the two engaged in a fierce struggle once again.
And not far away.
Golden Crown activated his Martial Soul and took a combat stance, watching the Blood Fiend before him with great vigilance.
This was his first time truly facing a Titled Douluo.
Furthermore, the opponent was an Evil Soul Master.
At the thought of this.
Cold sweat involuntarily broke out on his forehead.
"Thousand-year rings for the first and second, and a ten-thousand-year ring for the third!" Blood Fiend was also very surprised as he looked at the Soul Ring configuration on Golden Crown's body.
He then let out a cruel laugh.
"Jie jie jie!"
"It seems we've run into a genius youth today."
"A genius's essence and blood must be even more delicious."
"Spirit Hall will surely be furious to lose a genius like you!"
Even though he knew his own strength was worlds apart from his opponent's.
Golden Crown was not the type of sheep to be slaughtered at will.
In this situation, if he let the opponent strike first, he wouldn't have a single path to survival.
He had to strike first.
"First Spirit Ability! Dark Gold Tyrant Body!"
"Third Spirit Ability! Golden Sky-Rending Claw!"
After activating his buffing Spirit Ability, he immediately used his current strongest Spirit Ability.
A golden claw shadow, carrying the force of breaking the wind, clawed viciously toward Blood Fiend.
"Insignificant tricks."
Facing Golden Crown's strongest move, Blood Fiend gave a disdainful smile.
A mere three-ring Spirit Elder dared to resist before him, a Titled Douluo.
It was truly like a mantis trying to stop a carriage, overestimating its own strength.
He didn't even bother to move, keeping his hands behind his back.
The protective spirit power on his body condensed into a shield.
But what he didn't expect was.
The next second.
That golden claw shadow actually ignored the shield, penetrating right through it and rapidly striking toward his neck.
"What!"
Blood Fiend was startled and hurriedly dodged.
But he was not an agility-attack system Soul Master after all. At this distance, no matter how fast he was, he was still hit by that golden claw shadow.
Although it only grazed him.
It still left five relatively deep, bloody gashes.
Blood Fiend's expression turned serious. "You are but a mere Spirit Elder, how could you possibly break through this seat's defense?"
"Take a guess."
Seeing his attack take effect.
Golden Crown couldn't help but feel a bit smug.
However, he wasn't so smug as to reveal the effect of his third Spirit Ability being able to ignore any defense.
After all, he wasn't some 'Answer-Every-Question Alien'.
He wouldn't answer just because the opponent asked.
Blood Fiend felt something flowing from his neck, so he reached out to touch it.
"Blood."
Looking at the blood on his hand, Blood Fiend was furious.
To think that he, a dignified Titled Douluo, was actually injured by a Spirit Elder and even bled.
This was truly a humongous humiliation.
Not to mention that blood was an extremely precious thing to him.
Blood Fiend's entire body trembled, and his eyes turned crimson.
"You actually dared to make this great me bleed."
"If I don't kill you today, it will be hard to appease the hatred in my heart!"
"Hah!"
Blood Fiend roared.
The spirit power inside his body erupted like a surging tide.
Golden Crown was blown back several meters by this momentum.
Blood Fiend held a scimitar, his body emitting a dark red evil aura.
Veins bulged on his forehead, and his face took on a hideous expression.
"Brat, die for me!"
Blood Fiend swung the scimitar.
A blood-red crescent slash came howling toward Golden Crown.
Facing an attack from a Titled Douluo, Golden Crown naturally wouldn't be stupid enough to take it head-on.
He quickly dodged.
But that slash, as if entering an uninhabited territory, sliced over a dozen century-old trees in half.
Just as Golden Crown reached a new position.
He suddenly heard a voice from behind.
"Trying to run? It's not that easy."
With a *bang*, Blood Fiend's fist had already smashed into Golden Crown's back.
The overwhelming force caused Golden Crown's internal organs to suffer a significant shock.
Blood involuntarily flowed from the corner of his mouth.
His whole body flew out uncontrollably like a cannonball.
He crashed heavily into a mountainside.
Before he could catch his breath, Blood Fiend's attack followed immediately after.
"Fifth Spirit Ability, Soul-Extinguishing Slash!"
Boom!!!
The smoke cleared.
Rhino Douluo was seen standing in front of Golden Crown.
But his own injuries were not light either, and he was panting heavily; clearly, his physical strength was severely depleted.
"Young Master, are you alright?"
"I am fine, but Elder Ling, you seem to be quite badly injured."
Golden Crown placed his hand on Rhino Douluo's back, circulating the internal energy of the Nine Yang Divine Art to heal him.
Seeing his attack blocked by Rhino Douluo, Blood Fiend said irritably, "Damn it, how did this old fellow get here?"
Martial Soul Fiend, who was also significantly injured, walked over.
"This old guy acted like he didn't want his life just now, using his ninth Spirit Ability on me three times in a row."
"That's what forced me back."
"But presumably, his stamina is almost gone."
Blood Fiend listened and said, "I see. In that case, let's send this old and young pair on their way together."
"Let's end the battle with that move!"
The two nodded in unison.
Then, they gripped each other's hands and shouted simultaneously, "Martial Soul Fusion Skill, One-Hit Kill!"
Their Blood-Sucking Scimitars fused together, becoming massive.
Spinning rapidly, it slashed toward Golden Crown and Rhino Douluo.
"Not good!"
"Young Master, run!"
Rhino Douluo pushed Golden Crown away with force, then used his remaining spirit power to resist.
Rumble!
After a loud explosion.
Rhino Douluo was directly and severely wounded, a very deep wound left on his body.
Blood instantly dyed his clothes red.
He completely lost the ability to move.
Although Golden Crown was pushed away in time, he was still knocked unconscious by the residual power of this move.
After all, a Martial Soul Fusion Skill performed by two Titled Douluo was no joke.
"Big brother, let me take that brat's life."
Blood Fiend, holding his scimitar, arrived before Golden Crown.
"Young Master! Dammit!"
Rhino Douluo wanted to get up and rescue him.
But at this moment, his injuries were so severe that he had completely lost his mobility.
He simply couldn't do anything.
"Die for me!"
