"No wonder he's a Da Dou Shi. Even with a Di-class Dou Technique, it's not enough to pose a fatal threat to him."
Seeing Mo Yin only step back a dozen steps, his blood surging briefly before stabilizing, Mo Yu couldn't help but sigh at the difficulty of fighting someone two levels higher.
In his opinion, even a six- or seven-star Dou Shi wouldn't be able to take his Nine Heavens Thundercloud Split without injury.
"Boy, it ends here."
Forced into such a situation by a young Dou Zhe in his teens, Mo Yin's eyes flickered with ferocious killing intent. The more frightening Mo Yu's talent and strength appeared, the more Mo Yin knew he couldn't let him live!
As the hoarse shout fell, the disdain on Mo Yin's face gradually faded, replaced by an icy, sinister look. Now, it was clear that he was taking Mo Yu seriously.
The many strange techniques the boy displayed were beyond Mo Yin's understanding, stirring a deep sense of fear in him. He couldn't allow Mo Yu to grow any further!
In the next moment, Mo Yin's black Dou Qi surged wildly. Moments later, the Dou Qi dissipated, forming a perfectly fitted black Dou Qi armor over his body.
Dou Qi Armor—the hallmark of a Da Dou Shi!
As a four-star Da Dou Shi, the aura from Mo Yin's armor exuded a chilling and sinister feeling, far beyond what a low-star Da Dou Shi could achieve.
Summoning the Dou Qi Armor also signaled that Mo Yin was ready to unleash his true strength.
"To force me into using my Dou Qi Armor while you're still just a Dou Zhe... Mo Yu, I don't know how talented your cousin Xiao Yan is, but your title as the dragon of the Xiao family is well-deserved!
"Unfortunately, heaven won't give you a chance to keep growing. Today, I will wipe you out!"
Mo Yin's chilling voice rang out. As he finished, a powerful aura burst from his body—the unmistakable pressure of a Da Dou Shi.
In contrast, Mo Yu remained silent. His earlier attack, the Di-class Dou Technique, had drained almost all his Dou Qi. But a mere Da Dou Shi trying to kill him? How overconfident.
In the next moment, Mo Yu retracted the remaining Dou Qi in his body, appearing to give up the struggle. However, his hands blurred into motion, rapidly forming an incredibly complex and mysterious hand seal.
"Boom!"
As Mo Yu completed the hand seal, waves of powerful soul force began to seep from his mind, spreading out instantly and enveloping the majority of the forest.
The sudden surge of soul pressure caught Mo Yin off guard. He immediately tensed up, his expression becoming grim as he tried to pinpoint the source of this soul power. What shocked him beyond belief was that the source was the boy standing before him!
"Such powerful soul force... and it's coming from this boy?!"
Mo Yin stared at Mo Yu with a mixture of astonishment and dread. This soul force was comparable to that of a third-tier alchemist!
Not only had this boy, still at the Dou Zhe stage, displayed extraordinary Dou Techniques, but he also possessed such terrifying soul power.
The more Mo Yin thought about Mo Yu's bizarre abilities, the more unsettled he became. His face darkened further.
"This kid is only an eight-star Dou Zhe, right? So why is his soul power so strong?"
The more Mo Yin pondered, the more absurd it seemed. But he quickly shook off his thoughts. What did it matter if the boy's soul power was strong? He had to die today!
"Swish!"
As that thought passed through his mind, Mo Yin clapped his hands together. The surrounding black energy fog condensed into two sword-like edges, which shot toward Mo Yu's throat and heart like lightning.
However, what seemed like an unavoidable attack to a low-star Da Dou Shi was no match for Mo Yu's soul-sense. With his soul power focused, an invisible force slammed into the sword edges, knocking them off course.
"Why is your soul power so strong?"
Failing in his test, Mo Yin's hoarse voice was tinged with disbelief as he looked at the mysterious youth.
"Heh, I'll tell you after you're dead," Mo Yu replied coldly.
In his previous life, he had been a master weapon refiner, with soul power far beyond ordinary. After his rebirth, though his cultivation had dispersed, some soul power remained thanks to the protection of the Thunder Soul. It wasn't much, but it was already comparable to an ordinary Da Dou Shi.
Since his Dou Qi realm was too low to pose a real threat, Mo Yu had no choice but to rely on his soul power.
"Arrogant brat!"
Seeing Mo Yu's defiance, Mo Yin's figure flashed, and in an instant, he was in front of Mo Yu, his eyes flashing with a cold gleam as he sent a powerful shadowed palm strike toward Mo Yu.
The fierce force approached, but Mo Yu's expression remained unchanged. The soul power in his hand rapidly condensed under the hand seal, colliding with the shadowed palm.
"Boom!"
The clash of soul power and black Dou Qi caused a thunderous explosion at the center of the battlefield. The resulting energy shockwave snapped nearby trees in half, and the ground beneath their feet caved in, forming a large pit several dozen meters wide.
As the battle continued, Mo Yin's expression grew more and more grave. He had realized that not only was Mo Yu's soul power equivalent to that of a third-tier alchemist, but his control over it was terrifyingly precise.
As a core member of the Mo family, and given the special relationship between the Mo family and the Yun Lan Sect, Mo Yin had once had the opportunity to meet the number one alchemist in the Jia Ma Empire, Pill King Gu He, a sixth-tier alchemist. He had seen Gu He in action up close.
However, the precision and mastery with which Mo Yu wielded his soul power seemed even more refined and perfect than that of Jia Ma's number one alchemist.
"This boy is hiding something!"
After another collision of Dou Qi and soul power, both men's bodies trembled, and they took a step back. Mo Yin retreated quickly, his eyes flashing with cold light. The black Dou Qi within him surged, but this time it didn't dissipate into mist. Instead, it rapidly condensed in front of him.
"Boy, your soul power is strong, but your Dou Qi is too weak. That's your fatal weakness. But don't worry, after today, you won't have a chance to remedy that!"
Mo Yin's lips curled into a cold smile. The black Dou Qi in front of him slowly condensed into a massive spear several meters long.
At a certain point, as the energy within the black spear reached its peak, Mo Yin stopped suppressing it. His face turned grim as a harsh shout echoed out. The already dark energy on the black spear suddenly swelled, covering the sun and casting a shadow over half the sky.
"Xuan-class Advanced Dou Technique: Death Fiend Spear!"
In the air, Mo Yin's shout reverberated. The terrifying energy erupted as a bone-chilling killing intent descended from the sky, shooting toward Mo Yu.
Clearly, Mo Yin had finally decided to use his killing move!
