As time gradually passed, even though Spirit Hall had the advantage in the number of Soul Masters, they were now completely on the defensive.
Although Dugu Bo was somewhat slacking off, his lethality against ordinary Soul Masters was truly immense. With every move, a large number of ordinary Soul Masters were killed by him, and even Soul Douluo experts didn't dare to approach him easily.
Then there was Sword Douluo. Compared to Dugu Bo's slacking, Sword Douluo was a killing machine.
Initially, Sword Douluo single-handedly intercepted the army of several thousand Soul Masters outside the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's city walls, including the Titled Douluo, Serpent Spear Douluo.
Now that the battle had entered a stalemate, Sword Douluo was fighting against Serpent Spear Douluo on one hand, basically completely suppressing him.
At the same time, he effortlessly unleashed countless Sword Qi from his Seven Kill Sword, sometimes like a rain of swords, killing countless people.
In terms of the sheer number of enemies killed, Sword Douluo even far surpassed Dugu Bo.
At this moment, the four Titled Douluo from Spirit Hall also began to gradually understand that this battle would likely result in a significant loss.
There was not only a disparity in the number of Titled Douluo between the two sides, but also a huge gap in overall control ability, support ability, and large-scale destructive ability.
Especially with Lin Gong, a Titled Douluo, controlling the field, coupled with Bone Douluo's unpredictability, it was basically difficult for Spirit Hall to kill the disciples of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
Instead, as Sword Douluo and Dugu Bo gradually exerted their strength, Spirit Hall began to rapidly lose personnel. Although the exact number of deaths was unknown, it was definitely several times that of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
Spirit Hall's true success in killing enemies was during the initial sneak attack phase. Now, they were suppressed in all aspects.
Especially Serpent Spear Douluo. Although Serpent Spear Douluo was not the highest-level Soul Master among everyone present, he was the true leader of Spirit Hall's Soul Hunting Operation this time.
Unfortunately, Serpent Spear Douluo was now completely suppressed by Sword Douluo and had no energy left to assist others, let alone lead the overall situation.
It should be noted that in the original work, Serpent Spear Douluo's performance was exceptionally brilliant. He not only led everyone to tie down Sword Douluo but also directed the entire process of besieging the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
With all four Titled Douluo being tied down, Spirit Hall still besieged the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect according to the original plan, and no one paid attention to the comparison of strength between the two sides from a strategic perspective.
It was Kite Falcon Douluo who gradually realized that something was wrong, but unfortunately, she herself had to face the fierce attacks of the Peerless Dragon Serpent couple.
Especially with Lin Gong's control, the battlefield seemed to gradually split, with all four Titled Douluo fighting their opponents individually.
Bone Douluo also gradually freed up his hands and assisted the Peerless Dragon Serpent couple with his unpredictable abilities, making Kite Falcon Douluo look extremely disheveled.
Yang Wudi and Pufferfish Douluo were fighting to a draw. Both were skilled in using poison. Pufferfish Douluo's poison had no effect on Yang Wudi, and Yang Wudi even occasionally injured Pufferfish Douluo with the power of his Soul Breaking Spear and the sharpness of his spear technique.
Pufferfish Douluo could only maintain the stalemate because of his higher Soul Power level. Although the Crimson Blood Pufferfish's poison was powerful, it still had a certain gap compared to other top-tier beast martial souls.
The most intense battle on the scene was between Yang Xiong and Demon Bear Douluo.
As their battle became more and more intense and they disregarded their lives, they truly seemed like two giant beasts colliding.
Yang Xiong could only barely contend with Demon Bear Douluo by relying on his two top-tier amplification Soul Skills, coupled with Ning Fengzhi's ultimate support and the Kiling God Domain.
But at this moment, Demon Bear Douluo seemed truly angry, or perhaps after being injured by Yang Xiong's spiritual power just now, he seemed to have become even more bloodthirsty and crazy.
Demon Bear Douluo's Martial Soul was originally the Blood Demon Berserk Bear, which possessed extremely strong bloodthirsty and berserk abilities. The more bloody the surroundings and the more people died, the stronger his combat ability became.
Demon Bear Douluo seemed to be somewhat out of control, completely disregarding the surrounding situation.
"Little brat, I will make you die a terrible death today. No one can save you."
The seventh massive Soul Ring on Demon Bear Douluo's body flashed. It was his seventh Soul Skill: Martial Soul True Body. After using Martial Soul True Body, Demon God Douluo's attack power, defense power, and combat ability all seemed to increase significantly, and the Blood Demon Berserk Bear truly achieved berserk.
Yang Xiong's face was extremely fierce, like a ferocious beast. He simply gritted his teeth and directly activated his sixth Soul Skill: Undying Body.
At this stage, the power gap between Yang Xiong and Demon Bear Douluo was simply too vast. There was a soul power difference of over 20 levels between them. Especially after reaching Titled Douluo, each level of soul power brought a qualitative leap in combat power and physical ability.
Demon Bear Douluo was a formidable level 95 Soul Master. Purely in terms of strength, he was likely the strongest among the four Titled Douluo from Spirit Hall, someone Yang Xiong at his current level simply couldn't contend with.
Yang Xiong's only option now was to use his Undying Body, coupled with the assistance of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, which might allow him to stand a chance.
Seeing the massive bear paw swatting towards him, Yang Xiong gritted his teeth. Ignoring the pain throughout his body, he retaliated with all his might.
With just one move, Yang Xiong was sent flying again. Even the bones in his right hand were broken.
However, while in the state of Undying Body, a strange energy within his soul rings seemed to be repairing Yang Xiong's body. His broken right arm recovered at an astonishing speed.
From a distance, Bone Douluo seemed a little worried: "Lin Gong, Fengzhi, this Demon Bear Douluo is too powerful. Yang Xiong at his current level can't possibly withstand him. Do I really not need to go assist?"
"Uncle Bone, in my opinion..."
Ning Fengzhi seemed to want Bone Douluo to confront Demon Bear Douluo. After all, the situation was mostly stabilized now. The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect was gradually gaining the upper hand. The question was no longer whether they could withstand Spirit Hall's attack, but rather how many people from Spirit Hall would die in this war.
Lin Gong quickly interrupted Ning Fengzhi: "Sect Leader, Bone Douluo, haven't you noticed that Yang Xiong is more excited and more eager to fight than ever before?"
Ning Fengzhi was puzzled: "How could that be?"
Lin Gong instead asked Bone Douluo: "Bone Douluo, when you fought Yang Xiong in the past, did his combat power reach this level? Was he as excited as he is now?"
Bone Douluo shook his head: "Yang Xiong has never been like this before. Even when I put immense pressure on him, he wasn't this crazy and powerful, nor was he this bloodthirsty."
Lin Gong nodded: "That's right. Since he was a child, Little Xiong has been subtly hiding his strength. Almost no one has seen him go all out, including you and me."
"Today is an excellent opportunity. The Sect is in danger, and the enemy is slightly stronger than him. At a time like this, Yang Xiong's killing intent can reach its peak, just like when he was in Slaughter City. I believe Little Xiong will use every method he can think of to kill Demon Bear Douluo, even if his soul power is slightly insufficient."
"Moreover, I think today is a rare opportunity for Little Xiong. True powerhouses can only truly display their potential when they are in desperate situations."
Just as Demon Bear Douluo attacked again, Yang Xiong's hand instantly changed, and a blood-red longsword appeared.
This was precisely Yang Xiong's Fifth Soul Skill: Crimson Moon Thunder Sword.
In terms of strength and soul power, Yang Xiong still had a considerable gap compared to Demon Bear Douluo. Besides simple power clashes, Yang Xiong had also gained more killing techniques from Slaughter City.
Especially as he continued fighting Demon Bear Douluo, Yang Xiong felt as if the blood in his body was starting to boil, giving him a feeling of being back in Slaughter City.
Most importantly, his Body Martial Soul, the Asura Body, also seemed to be gradually changing, becoming more bloodthirsty and more berserk.
The Asura God was originally the God of Slaughter. Yang Xiong had used the Blood River in Slaughter City to refine his body, causing both his Body Martial Soul and the Kiling God Domain to undergo certain changes.
At that time, Yang Xiong felt that the Kiling God Domain seemed to be strangely integrated with his Body Martial Soul, but over the past few years, he had been trying his best to control his killing intent, and the Kiling God Domain also seemed to have gradually calmed down.
But at this moment, Yang Xiong's killing intent was fully unleashed, just like when he first emerged from Slaughter City, even stronger and more terrifying than during that period.
After his Body Martial Soul underwent a second awakening into the Asura Body, Yang Xiong had never pushed his strength to the limit like he was today, nor had he faced such widespread death, especially the deaths of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect disciples.
At this moment, the rage in Yang Xiong's heart seemed to have reached its peak. The Kiling God Domain and the Asura Body seemed to change in this instant. The white light they originally emitted turned into a sky full of blood-red light, making people feel as if they were in hell.
And Yang Xiong's Body Martial Soul, the Asura Body, seemed to be echoing his soul and body at this moment. His Martial Soul seemed to have undergone some kind of transformation in this instant. All the killing intent seemed to become more substantial, and his entire being seemed to enter a special state.
This state was somewhat similar to the berserk state inherent in Demon Bear Douluo's Blood Demon Berserk Bear Martial Soul, but it seemed to be even more bloodthirsty and more focused on slaughter.
Yang Xiong poured all his strength into the Crimson Blood Thunder Sword. The entire Crimson Blood Thunder Sword emitted a terrifying blood-red aura.
Yang Xiong struck with all his might. The Seven Kill Sword Technique seemed to be utilized to its extreme. The "Kill Character" formed by countless sword qi turned blood-red. This was no longer just ordinary killing intent and sword qi; it seemed to contain some aura from the Kiling God Domain, as if the entire Kiling God Domain was integrated into the sword qi.
Seeing how powerful this attack was, Demon Bear Douluo roared again, directly activating his Eighth Soul Skill: Abyssal Bear King Rend.
With this full-power strike, the entire ground and air seemed to be tearing apart, like a massive bear paw covering the sky, as if the heavens and earth themselves were about to be ripped asunder.
Moreover, Demon Bear Douluo's attack not only possessed terrifying strength but also contained a certain aura of darkness.
Both sides unleashed their full-power attacks. Yang Xiong's massive Seven Kill Sword Qi collided with Demon Bear Douluo's giant bear paw from Abyssal Bear King Rend. Everything within a hundred meters seemed to be shattered, and terrifying cracks appeared on the ground.
Both Yang Xiong and Demon Bear Douluo were directly pushed back nearly a hundred meters by the powerful impact.
Yang Xiong had a terrifying claw mark on his body, and who knows how many bones were broken. He was spitting out blood profusely.
Demon Bear Douluo was similar to Yang Xiong, perhaps even more severely injured. A terrifying sword mark ran through his entire chest, and even his bones seemed to have been severed countless times.
Especially at all of Demon Bear Douluo's wounds, there seemed to be a certain blood-red aura. This aura was resisting his soul power, as if corroding his body and soul power.
"Eight Treasure True Body!"
Ning Fengzhi reacted extremely quickly, immediately activating the Martial Soul True Body of the Eight Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda. The Eight Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda instantly transformed into a massive pagoda several zhang tall, and countless energy surged into Yang Xiong's body.
