Chapter 289: Angel's Judgment
Yang Xiong and Qian Renxue had been fighting for over an hour, neither side gaining a clear advantage, with both of them struggling to overpower the other.
The difference in soul power between the two was a full eight levels, and especially after reaching Title Douluo, every increase in soul power made a significant difference. After reaching level ninety-five, each soul power level was a massive threshold.
As the inheritor of the Angel God's power, Qian Renxue's soul power had reached level ninety-eight, and with the quality of her Six-Winged Angel martial soul, she was arguably the strongest person in the world after the three Extreme Title Douluos. She might even be stronger than Bibi Dong, whom Yang Xiong had encountered in Star Dou Forest.
Yang Xiong's ability to contend with Qian Renxue was partly due to his extreme physical training, having reached his limits and further enhanced by the two top-grade dragon bones he recently absorbed.
Additionally, even though his soul power wasn't as deep as Qian Renxue's, with his soul core rapidly circulating in his dantian, he could absorb a vast amount of energy from the air, allowing him to barely hold his own against her.
But the longer the fight went on, the more excited Yang Xiong became.
He had always strived to grow stronger, believing that there was no peer among his age group, and that even the strongest in the world could be challenged. The more he fought Qian Renxue, the more his competitive spirit flared.
Especially after acquiring these two supreme dragon bones, it felt like he had entered a new level. His control over both strength and soul power became even stronger.
As their battle intensified, both Yang Xiong and Qian Renxue became more vicious and relentless, using every technique at their disposal to push their powers to the limit.
Qian Renxue initially gained an advantage due to her flight and speed, but Yang Xiong proved to be unyielding, like an invincible cockroach. The longer they fought, the stronger he became. If he took any injury, he would recover in an incredibly short time.
Qian Renxue soon realized that, in terms of physical quality, she probably couldn't beat Yang Xiong.
"Yang Xiong, your strength is far beyond what I expected, especially your physical condition, which is astonishing. I consider myself to be at a level where we are evenly matched, but as the inheritor of the Angel God, after completing the seventh test of the Angel God, I can now use the Angel Holy Sword."
"Don't blame me for using divine artifacts to bully you. You can use your divine artifact too."
Qian Renxue unsheathed the Angel Holy Sword from her waist. In a single swing, it immediately radiated golden light, as if her entire martial soul was being suppressed.
Yang Xiong immediately felt the purification power from the Angel Holy Sword, which was of the same origin as Qian Renxue's Six-Winged Angel. However, it was even stronger, especially since the Angel Holy Sword weighed thirty-six thousand pounds, making it a true divine weapon.
Seeing Qian Renxue wield the Angel Holy Sword, Yang Xiong drew his Shura Demon Sword.
The moment the Shura Demon Sword was drawn, the golden light was instantly split in half, and even Qian Renxue's Six-Winged Angel martial soul was suppressed.
With the Shura Demon Sword in his hand and Qian Renxue wielding the Angel Holy Sword, the two divine weapons clashed, as though they were divine beings themselves, tearing the heavens and earth apart.
This battle was unprecedented. In theory, it was even more intense than the battle between Qian Dao Liu and Tang Chen. While both Qian Dao Liu and Tang Chen were Extreme Title Douluos, neither had divine artifacts.
With divine weapons in their hands, Yang Xiong and Qian Renxue had already reached Extreme Title Douluo levels, and the power of these divine weapons made them even stronger.
It's worth noting that when Tang San first entered Title Douluo and wielded the Sea God Trident, he was able to match Bibi Dong, who was at level ninety-eight. Yang Xiong and Qian Renxue were already stronger than Tang San when he had just stepped into Title Douluo.
At that moment, the Shura Demon Sword in Yang Xiong's hand shifted its momentum, releasing endless sword energy. All the sword energy quickly condensed into a massive character, which was the Seven Kill Sword technique.
Qian Renxue sneered, and with the Angel Holy Sword in hand, she crossed it in front of her. The final Six-Winged Angel merged with the Angel Holy Sword, forming a gigantic sword that blocked in front of her.
Relying on the strength of her Six-Winged Angel martial soul and the powerful purification ability, Qian Renxue forcibly blocked Yang Xiong's Seven Kill Sword technique.
But Yang Xiong didn't care. He had already completely let go and was no longer holding back. Countless sword qi gathered again to form another kill character.
This was the power of the Seven Kill Sword technique. Every strike became stronger than the last, and each kill character could be stacked, until the soul power and spiritual energy were pushed to their maximum.
Qian Renxue seemed to underestimate the Seven Kill Sword technique, but when she blocked the five kill characters from Yang Xiong, her expression grew even more serious.
When Yang Xiong used all his strength to unleash the eighth kill character, it felt as though his body was under unbearable pressure. Even his body and martial soul seemed to tremble slightly, and the kill character erupted, flooding the space as if it would tear the world apart.
From Yang Xiong's understanding of the Seven Kill Sword technique, he could only manage eight kill characters at most. His teacher, Jian Dou Luo, had recently broken through to level ninety-eight, so he should now be able to unleash the ninth kill character. This was the highest realm of the Seven Kill Sword technique.
Qian Renxue immediately understood that Yang Xiong was in a desperate fight and activated her ninth soul ring. The Six-Winged Angel immediately solidified, and its massive arms moved to block in front of her, with six wings also acting as a barrier. This was Qian Renxue's ninth soul skill: Great Angel Protection.
From this move, it was clear that her defense had reached an absolute level, even showing signs of divine power.
Yang Xiong's eighth kill character slammed into the Six-Winged Angel, and the killing intent collided with the Angel's protective power. The entire Two Peaks Mountain seemed to shake.
After the full-force collision, Yang Xiong was forced back several hundred meters, while Qian Renxue's original position was left with a large crater several dozen meters in size.
Yang Xiong wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth. "Interesting, the Six-Winged Angel martial soul is indeed strong. I didn't expect you to have a hundred-thousand-year defense soul skill."
Qian Renxue also spat out a mouthful of blood, but after the blood touched her body, she seemed to become even more arrogant.
"Yang Xiong, with just your Seven Kill Sword technique, you cannot defeat me. Back then, even the Sword Douluo's father couldn't harm my grandfather after using nine kill characters, and my grandfather used the Angel's power to severely injure his organs, leading to his eventual death."
"Even if the Seven Kill Sword technique reaches its peak, it can never challenge the brilliance of the Angel. Besides, you haven't even perfected the Seven Kill Sword technique. You can't even use the ninth kill character."
Yang Xiong sneered. "So what? The Seven Kill Sword technique still managed to hurt you. It's not that the Seven Kill Sword technique is weaker than you. I didn't expect you to merge your body and martial soul to this extent. The Six-Winged Angel truly lives up to its status as a divine martial soul."
Qian Renxue smiled. "To be honest, with the Angel Holy Sword in my hand, even my grandfather couldn't touch me. Let alone you, who haven't even reached Title Douluo."
At this moment, Yang Xiong became incredibly unruly, his eyes filled with flames, and the blood in his body seemed to boil.
Even back during the Soul Master Tournament, Yang Xiong hadn't reached this level. It was only by truly challenging strong opponents that he had developed the indomitable will of the Shura and the killing intent that broke his limits.
Qian Renxue's talent was indeed extraordinary, and she had clearly made up for her previously lacking combat ability. Her mental power, physical strength, soul power, and combat experience had all reached the peak for a Soul Master. Even Bibi Dong, whom he had encountered earlier, only reached this level. She was even stronger than Tang Chen, who had physical limitations.
At this point, Yang Xiong didn't care anymore. He directly activated his seventh soul skill, Shura Body. His golden body was covered in dense magic patterns, and a blood-red figure appeared behind him.
The previously disadvantaged Slaughter Domain was now greatly enhanced. The blood-red light collided with Qian Renxue's Angel Domain.
Qian Renxue's Angel Domain was similarly domineering, possessing purification and flame powers, as if it could burn everything in the world.
But Yang Xiong's Slaughter Domain was not to be underestimated. The ultimate killing intent felt like being trapped in a sea of corpses, akin to a Shura hell.
Qian Renxue let out a wild laugh. "Yang Xiong, your Slaughter God Domain is powerful, and it has reached the peak of the Soul Master domain. But you forgot what my Six-Winged Angel martial soul represents."
"Your killing intent is powerful, but it is filled with sin and evil. My Six-Winged Angel martial soul represents the purest justice and light in the world. Under the light, all evil will be exposed."
She gripped the Angel Holy Sword, and the Six-Winged Angel immediately radiated a blinding golden light, as if a golden beam split the heavens. A massive golden sword descended from the sky, aiming to cleave Yang Xiong in two.
Yang Xiong felt his mind suddenly go hazy, as if he was reviewing all the killings of his life, as if he was standing in front of a judgment table.
When the golden giant sword descended, it seemed to carry a sacred sound, as if it represented the judgment of heaven and earth upon him.
"Yang Xiong, your slaughter will only become your sin. I represent the angels and will judge you."
This was Qian Renxue's full-force strike, no longer just a soul skill but a divine ability from the Angel God's inheritance—Angel's Judgment.
Now that Qian Renxue had reached level ninety-eight and wielded the Angel Holy Sword, she was clearly stronger than Tang San with the Sea God Trident in the original story.
