Soul Land 3: Legend Of The Dragon King

Chapter 1685



However, she only paused for an instant before borrowing the force of her hammer's impact to swivel around and charge directly toward Yue Zhengyu. Her entire body was acting as a center of balance for her giant hammer as he spun rapidly like a lethal cyclone while speeding directly toward her opponent.

At this moment, Yue Zhengyu was still reeling from the last attack.

His arms were numb, there was blood flowing out of the corner of his lips, and his heart was filled with remorse and self-criticism.

He had misjudged his opponent and not taken her as seriously as he should've, thereby resulting in his current crisis.

His opponent's attack was far too overbearing, to the extent that he felt as if he were being suffocated.

Golden light flashed through his eyes as he forcibly summoned a pillar of Light of Judgment, but his limbs were still numb, so it was very difficult for him to try and evade.

Meanwhile, Shi Mengshan charged straight into the Light of Judgment like a madwoman, withstanding the attack with her battle armor before swinging her hammer toward Yue Zhengyu again with devastating force.

Yue Zhengyu was only just barely able to inject some soul power into his wings before flapping them vigorously to carry himself backward in retreat.

In this instant, Yue Zhengyu was very thankful for his decision to request for a pair of wings. His arms and legs weren't working here, but the wings of his four-word battle armor were very reliable, allowing him to fly back for a sufficient distance.

However, even though he had evaded the brunt of the attack, he was still struck by a small portion of its power, and even with his four-word battle armor to protect him, he couldn't help but throw up a mouthful of blood.

Even a Hyper Douluo's offensive prowess would most likely only be limited to this, let alone a Titled Douluo, and Yue Zhengyu felt completely powerless.

Shi Mengshan harrumphed coldly as bright red light radiated from her body, and she charged directly toward Yue Zhengyu.

At this point, Yue Zhengyu had regained some feeling in his limbs through soul power circulation, and he immediately turned and fled without any hesitation. It was far too dangerous to engage in melee combat with Shi Mengshan; he had to open up some distance between them.

Thankfully, he had the speed advantage due to his wings. Only then did everyone notice that Shi Mengshan's three-word battle armor had no wings.

Generally speaking, all suits of three-word battle armor had wings of different descriptions depending on the Soul Master's individual requirements, and wings were extremely valuable to assist Soul Masters in their flight. Even though high-grade Soul Masters could fly on their own, it was made easier by a pair of wings.

However, Shi Mengshan seemed to have focused most of her destructive power on her weapon, but this weapon wasn't her martial soul.

Shi Mengshan stepped forward as she set off in pursuit of Yue Zhengyu again while raising her giant hammer.

Yue Zhengyu could only flap his wings vigorously and continue to zip around like a panicked fly.

Thus far, the battle was completely one-sided, but Tang Wulin suddenly noticed that for some reason, Guan Yue had a rather strange look on his face; it was a mixture of resignation intermingled with a forlorn expression.

Why was he displaying such an expression?

Meanwhile, Yue Zhengyu was flying around while stalling his opponent with his Light of Judgment, and he was beginning to catch his breath again.

Shi Mengshan was still pursuing him, and up to this point, she hadn't even released her martial soul yet.

All of a sudden, she drew to a halt at the exact center of the battle area.

She set her hammer aside, then suddenly withdrew her battle armor to reveal a mocking smile on her face. "Coward!"

A series of soul rings emerged from beneath her feet as she spoke, and at the same time, thick vines and branches began to grow behind her, while a giant white flower bloomed in the blink of an eye.

This was the Nine Heart Begonia!

The huge flower gently swayed as it released a plume of faint pink mist, and Shi Mengshan's soul rings were flashing almost intermittently as a series of halos proliferated outward from the giant flower to encompass the entire battle area.

The Nine Heart Beganion was a poison type martial soul, and its forte was control.

That's right, according to the Tang Sect's records, Shi Mengshan was supposed to be a control system Soul Master, but the display she had just put on was clearly one of an assault system Soul Master.

The halos quickly spread to Yue Zhengyu, and after this period of respite, Yue Zhengyu was in better condition, even though he still felt as if his organs were on fire.

This was thanks to the fact that light elements possessed potent healing properties.

He focused his attention, and dazzling golden holy flames erupted out of his body.

The angel projection behind him fused as one with him as he unleashed his Holy Angel Descends, and in the next instant, the halos being released by the Nine Heart Beganion descended upon him, only for the majority of them to be incinerated into nothingness by his holy flames.

The holy flames were the bane of all poison, and even though it couldn't completely counter all poisons, it would definitely be able to nullify most of their effects.

As such, Yue Zhengyu was confident that he would be able to counter Shi Mengshan's Nine Heart Begonia, which was why he had chosen her.

Even if he were to be somewhat affected by the poison, that was not an issue as he could go to Tang Wulin after the battle, and Tang Wulin's Beautiful Silk Tulip would be able to cure him with ease.

After learning about how Tang Wulin had obtained the Beautiful Silk Tulip as a soul spirit, Zheng Yiran didn't even have the heart to challenge him for sparring matches anymore. With that soul spirit, Tang Wulin was a walking panacea!

After releasing those halos, Shi Mengshan was appraising Yue Zhengyu intently.

Her poison possessed many different effects, one for each soul ring that she possessed, and all of those effects were extremely dangerous.

They included Poison, Feebleness, Sluggishness, Dizziness, Atrophy, Fear, etc. Against opponents with lackluster resistance against poisons, she could bring them down without even lifting a single finger. 

However, it was clear that her opponent possessed exceptional poison resistance. Shi Mengshan's brows furrowed slightly upon seeing this, and in the next instant, she donned her suit of battle armor again.

At the same time, her martial soul vanished, and Tang Wulin immediately understood what was going on.

Why was it that Shi Mengshan's battle styles were completely different depending on whether she was wearing her battle armor? It was because there was no synergy between her battle armor and martial soul.

For a Soul Master, it was naturally ideal for their battle armor and martial soul to have a synergistic relationship, thereby allowing them to maximize the power of their martial soul. As such, battle armor was most often used for protection and to enhance one's soul skills.

However, Shi Mengshan had walked a completely different path, thereby luring Yue Zhengyu into a false assessment of her powers and forcing him onto the back foot from the get-go.

Shi Mengshan's battle armor was completely unrelated to her martial soul. In fact, this suit of battle armor hadn't even been crafted for her. Instead, she had inherited it from another powerful senior of the Battle God Hall in an extremely rare case. Even though it was only a suit of three-word battle armor, it was close to four-word battle armor in certain aspects.

Shi Mengshan was a control system Soul Master, but she had always had a dream to become an assault system Soul Master. However, her martial simply didn't allow her to pursue that dream, and she had always lamented her ill-fortune.
