Chapter 536: Chapter 536
Du Tianxing sighed:
"Li Jiachen filled the center of the square with a fog made of poison elements, how could Yang Xiao approach and attack him? Li Jiachen is indeed formidable."
"Indeed, the moment Yang Xiao charges in, he might inhale the poison fog and will undoubtedly be defeated. If he doesn’t charge in, how can he defeat Li Jiachen?"
"Li Jiachen’s Soul Skill comes with a poison element attack, and he is immune to his own poison fog, making him invulnerable now."
"Poison Mages are common, but people with Poison Beast Souls are rare."
"I really want to see Li Jiachen’s Beast Soul, the Mangshan Iron-headed Poison Snake."
...
On the square, Yang Xiao began to run and dodge around the perimeter, thankful that Li Jiachen’s poison fog could only spread within a radius of fifty to sixty meters centered on him, and any further, the fog would dissipate on its own.
This poison fog was a form of Elemental Magic; as long as he didn’t enter it, he wouldn’t suffer any poison damage from the surrounding area.
The giant snake head in mid-air constantly chased Yang Xiao, spraying poison fog.
Yang Xiao was now extremely thankful that he had practiced Ancient Martial Arts. Without the Qinggong of Shenming Mountain Sect and the Great Body Shifting Skill of Shaolin Temple, his Agility alone would have made it difficult to dodge attacks from a King Level Evolver.
Seeing Yang Xiao dodging all over, with the poison fog struggling to hit him, Li Jiachen got a bit impatient and shouted:
"Yang Xiao, come on, attack me! Didn’t you say you wanted to take my life? I’m standing right here, come hit me!"
Yang Xiao steadied his mind, not affected by Li Jiachen’s taunts. After more than ten minutes, he gradually became familiar with Li Jiachen’s poison fog attack.
After a Great Body Shifting Skill evasive move that covered a few meters, he suddenly stood still and activated the Black Hole Swallowing Cultivation Technique.
With a booming sound, a gigantic monster’s skull appeared in mid-air, followed by a huge air vortex that directly sucked in the snake head that was chasing Yang Xiao and spraying poison fog. It also continuously sucked in the green poison fog from the square.
"Holy sh*t!"
Li Jiachen was taken aback inside and hurriedly powered up his Divine Sense to control the Soul Skill Poison Teeth, forcing the giant snake head in mid-air to desperately fly out to escape the suction of the air vortex.
However, by the time he reacted, it was already a bit too late. The snake head had been sucked into the center of the giant air vortex, making it very difficult to break free.
On Yang Xiao’s side, he also felt it was very difficult to keep the snake head captured and quickly concentrated, focusing on controlling his Soul Skill.
Thus, a standoff ensued, where the snake head was stuck in the center of the vortex but continuously struggled without being sucked in.
Yang Xiao and Li Jiachen both fought desperately.
Time passed second by second, and neither of them dared to relax; large beads of sweat rolled down their foreheads, making it evident that both were exerting their fullest effort.
Li Jiachen, with a higher Genetic Evolution Level, had a significant advantage in Realm, while Yang Xiao, with strong Soul Skills and the advantage of striking first, held a certain preemptive edge.
Had the snake head been at the edge of the vortex, Li Jiachen could have easily escaped the vortex’s suction.
The two fought to a stalemate.
On the viewing platform, Long Wei, Long Yu, and others watched Yang Xiao intently, amazed by the Soul Skills he kept displaying.
Relatively, they were not too concerned about Li Jiachen, for if Yang Xiao had been a King Level Evolver, he would have already defeated Li Jiachen.
Gu Beifeng, Du Tianxing, Zhao Benling, and other onlookers all felt a tense and complex mix of emotions.
Some hoped for Li Jiachen to win, while others hoped for Yang Xiao’s victory.
However, no matter who won in the end, everyone unanimously admired Yang Xiao, including old King Level Evolvers like Gu Beifeng and Du Tianxing.
They all realized they had underestimated Yang Xiao and regretted their previous indifference towards him. Now, rekindling their former friendship seemed very difficult.
Minutes passed, and both Yang Xiao and Li Jiachen were covered in sweat.
Suddenly, a crack appeared on the giant snake’s head.
Then, a second crack followed.
The cracks grew larger and more numerous until finally, with a snap, the giant snake’s head burst under the tug of war.
As the giant snake’s head shattered, Yang Xiao’s Soul Skill, Black Hole Swallowing, also encountered a problem. The huge monster head ruptured and dissipated mid-air.
Both stumbled back three steps, feeling fluctuations in their vital energy and a stifling pressure in their chests.
Almost simultaneously, they each took out a Small Blood Pill and placed it in their mouths to replenish their Qi.
At this point in the battle, Li Jiachen was completely suppressed by Yang Xiao, sweeping away any underestimation he had, and with gritted teeth, he roared out.
Boom!
Li Jiachen transformed into a massive, thirty to forty-meter-long Ironhead Poison Snake of Mang Mountain.
Hiss!
The Poison Snake spat out a crimson forked tongue.
Li Jiachen’s transformed Beast Soul immediately gave the spectators a sense of daunting pressure.
"Yang Xiao, I admit you are formidable, but today you’ve met me. I’ll make sure you die convincingly. Show me what abilities you have."
Yang Xiao laughed loudly:
"Don’t be smug too soon, brag after you beat me."
"Hehe, alright, I’ll defeat you first then."
With a rumbling sound,
the massive snake body swept towards Yang Xiao with immense pressure, stirring up a storm in the sky.
Even the Defense Light Screen in front of the chairman’s stage was vibrating loudly.
Yang Xiao took a deep breath and activated Sweeping Void,
With a rumble,
A hundred-meter-long monster tail emerged from the void and clashed fiercely with Li Jiachen’s Beast Soul.
"Well done!"
Li Jiachen shouted excitedly, sweeping his massive body over.
Boom!
A thunderous collision occurred between the Mang Mountain Ironhead Giant Snake and Yang Xiao’s monstrous tail, sending powerful shockwaves around, nearly deforming the Defense Light Screen in front of the chairman’s stage until Long Wei and Long Yu together cast a light screen to withstand the tremendous impact.
Li Jiachen’s Beast Soul shrieked and staggered back several meters, then stabilized mid-air.
Whereas Yang Xiao’s monstrous tail showed thousands of cracks,
With a crackling sound, it disintegrated.
Yang Xiao felt a stifling pain in his chest and vomited a mouthful of fresh blood.
Li Jiachen laughed wildly:
"Yang Xiao, let me tell you the truth, after my Beast Soul transformation, my defense increases by 50%. Even if your Soul Skill is powerful, you are just Advanced Enhanced Gene, and I am King Level. How could you possibly break through?"
Hiss!
Li Jiachen’s Beast Soul once again opened its huge mouth to hiss, and with a thundering sound, it pounced towards Yang Xiao. This time, he intended to crush this so-called talent and show everyone his, Li Jiachen’s, prestige.
Yang Xiao quickly swallowed a handful of Small Blood Pills, let out a long howl, and soared into the sky, flying towards Li Jiachen’s Beast Soul.
"Damn, is Yang Xiao seeking death?"
"Stupid! At this time, he shouldn’t directly confront Li Jiachen’s edge. His Beast Soul has increased defense by 50%, Yang Xiao’s combat power can’t break it."
"It’s over, Yang Xiao is really going to die now."
