Soul Land: Bibi Dong Is My Martial Soul-Chapter 218: Tang Chen Awakens

Chapter 218: Tang Chen Awakens

Buzz—

With the Rakshasa God martial soul possessed and the Eight Spider Lances summoned, Su Mo's aura instantly soared.

"Overlord Slash!"

Once again, Su Mo unleashed a powerful strike, the attack exploding forth toward the Slaughter King.

Buzz—

Before the attack even reached him, the overwhelming destructive pressure caused the Slaughter King's face to twist in horror.

"Impossible...!"

His heart trembled in shock—he hadn't expected Su Mo's strength to surge so dramatically, and the power behind his attack to multiply several times over.

"I can't take that head-on..."

Terrified, the Slaughter King immediately shifted sideways, his figure dodging with all speed.

Whoosh—

With a flap of his wings, he narrowly avoided Su Mo's slash.

Buzz—

Yet just as the attack passed him, it didn't lose momentum. It vanished—then instantly reappeared behind him, continuing its pursuit.

"Damn it..."

A surge of helpless fury rose in the Slaughter King's chest. There was no way to dodge this one!

And it was already too close—he couldn't avoid it even if he tried.

Left with no other option, he turned and raised a blood-red soul power shield around himself to block.

Bang—

Su Mo's slash landed against the shield with a heavy impact.

Crack—

The moment it made contact, the shield began to fracture, unable to hold out.

Pfft—

The backlash caused the Slaughter King to spit out a mouthful of vital blood.

Boom—

The shield shattered completely.

Su Mo's strike, only slightly weakened, continued its path straight toward the Slaughter King.

"Damn it..."

"I'm not willing...!" frёewebnoѵēl.com

The Slaughter King roared inwardly, his eyes flashing with unwillingness as the strike drew near. But ultimately, survival instinct won over pride.

In that moment, his eyes shut and reopened—and their light had completely changed.

He was like a different person entirely.

And in truth, he was.

Knowing he couldn't defeat Su Mo no matter what, the Slaughter King chose to release Tang Chen's soul, letting him take control of the body once more.

With Tang Chen's strength, perhaps the tide could still be turned.

And if Tang Chen succeeded but was left weakened, the Slaughter King could take the body back again.

But if Tang Chen failed as well... then everything would be over.

This was a gamble.

"Hm?"

Newly freed, Tang Chen opened his eyes—only to see a terrifying slash hurtling toward him. His expression changed instantly.

"Asura Slash!"

Without hesitation, Tang Chen reflexively swung the Asura Divine Sword, sending out a slash of his own to meet Su Mo's.

Boom—

As expected of Tang Chen—even though he couldn't fully block the attack, he managed to deflect most of it.

"Hmph!"

Then, with another slash, Tang Chen released a second wave of sword energy and finally shattered the remnants of Su Mo's strike.

Even so, Tang Chen's expression remained grim.

That brief clash had already made him realize how powerful his opponent was.

And he had also figured out where they were—the Arena of Life and Death.

Incredible... someone had actually created a battleground like this?

Were spirit masters nowadays really this terrifying?

Though he had only just regained control of his body, Tang Chen had already sensed much.

He realized the Scarlet Nine-Headed Bat King had parasitized him for decades.

"Tang Chen, is it?"

Of course Su Mo noticed the change in the Slaughter King. His eyes flickered with understanding.

He hadn't expected the Slaughter King to willingly release Tang Chen.

By all rights, now that Tang Chen was free, Su Mo could have simply stopped the battle and called Bo Saixi to purify him.

But he didn't.

Because this Tang Chen had awakened on his own. The Scarlet Nine-Headed Bat King was still within him—and without the Sea God's Light, it hadn't been purged.

In this state, Tang Chen wouldn't die so easily.

So instead of stopping, Su Mo's interest was piqued.

He wanted to see just how strong this Peak Douluo truly was.

And when the time came, he would unleash the Sea God's Light to wipe out the parasite, leaving Tang Chen's body on the verge of collapse.

Then he could ask: was he really Tang Chen?

After all, only when Tang Chen was on the brink of death would Su Mo send him to Seagod Island.

"Kill!"

Without hesitation, Su Mo unleashed his Thirteen Overlord Spears, charging straight at Tang Chen.

Boom—!

Facing Su Mo's attack, Tang Chen's expression grew grave as he raised his sword to block.

Spear and sword clashed!

Bang—!

In the direct impact, Tang Chen's body was immediately knocked backward.

"So strong..."

Tang Chen's expression grew heavier as he was pushed back.

Bang! Bang! Bang—!

As Su Mo's attacks kept coming, Tang Chen could only retreat and defend—barely able to find any opening to counter.

Buzz—

"Great Xumi Slash!"

Tang Chen finally swung the Asura Divine Sword, unleashing a transformed version of the Great Xumi Hammer technique. He didn't summon the Clear Sky Hammer, because the divine sword in his hand was far superior to his martial soul.

And converting hammer techniques to swordplay was nothing difficult for him.

"Thirteenth Spear—Invincible!"

Boom—!

Su Mo met Tang Chen's slash head-on, showing no mercy.

Boom—!

Spear and sword collided again, unleashing boundless shockwaves.

Bang—!

But once more, the one sent flying was Tang Chen.

Even after using the sword-adapted Great Xumi Slash, he still couldn't match Su Mo's power.

"No choice. I'll have to use that move!"

Shaken back, Tang Chen wiped the blood from the corner of his lips, his expression hardening.

"Ring Detonation!"

Boom—!

Without a hint of hesitation, Tang Chen summoned all nine of his spirit rings.

One by one, they detonated in a brilliant flash, transforming into golden rings of power that hovered behind him.

The speed at which he completed the detonation far outstripped even Tang Hao's.

Clearly, Tang Chen's control over Ring Detonation had reached an expert level.

Boom—!

The moment the process ended, his pressure surged severalfold—so much so that it began to overshadow Su Mo's aura.

"Kill!"

With no wasted words, Tang Chen charged forth again with his divine sword.

"Good! Come!"

"Kill!"

Su Mo responded without the slightest fear, meeting the charge head-on.

Boom—!

The soul power collision exploded outward.

This time, Tang Chen wasn't knocked back—he had completely blocked Su Mo's strike.

But that was all—Su Mo hadn't been shaken either.

The clash between them had finally reached a stalemate.

"Die!"

Yet Tang Chen's expression didn't change. With a swift movement, he pulled back the Asura Divine Sword and struck again.

With soul power at parity, he was confident his superior combat instincts would win the battle.
