Douluo: Becoming the Taoist Priest from the Enlightenment Tree

Chapter 42: Combat Weapons and Soul Guidance Devices
"Yue Hongchen, you are a piece of trash. Together with your rubbish soul guide, we make a perfect pair."

As soon as Di Tian translated it, he heard a burst of foul language and frowned slightly. However, it seemed that no one was scolding him, so Di Tian continued to listen with interest.

"I'm not trash! You conservatives should just let your antiques decay together. Soul guides are the future."

A young man in his twenties dressed in a silver suit looked viciously at the boy of about his age opposite him and cursed.

"Hehe, wait until your soul guides explode and kill you."

The boy's face was full of disdain, and anyone could see the contempt in his eyes.

Combat weapon? Soul guide?

Di Tian heard two new terms, and it seemed that he would be able to gain a lot of new knowledge this time.

Casually looking at the two people who kept trash-talking before the game, Di Tian was somewhat curious about what the combat weapons and soul guides they were talking about were.

"Xu Yang, you are the remnants of the old era. There is no territory in the new era that can support you."

Yue Hongchen's eyes were shining and he looked very confident.

"Haha~"

Xu Yang disagreed with Yue Hongchen's words and only left these two words to express his sarcasm.

The referee began to remind everyone that the verbal abuse was over and the real fight was about to begin.

The two men immediately became alert, their eyes full of wariness towards each other. Obviously, they did not look down on each other as much as they had just now.

"The setting sun blazes!"

An illusory image of a setting sun appeared behind Xu Yang. It looked extremely weak, and the flames that erupted from it were also filled with a heavy sense of dusk.

But Yue Hongchen did not relax his vigilance. Instead, he looked at the attack very nervously.

Di Tian could see that the flame had a strange property. The soul power activity in the soul master's body that was burned would gradually decrease, and it would be difficult to mobilize soul power to use soul skills.

Yue Hongchen's martial spirit possessed him, his body lowered, his face turned pale, and his back swelled like a small hill.

Yue Hongchen jumped a few times casually and successfully avoided Xu Yang's attack. Judging from his level of proficiency, it seemed that he had dealt with this kind of attack more than once or twice.

Xu Yang didn't care. The soul ring behind him lit up and continued to attack Yue Hongchen.

"Sunset Falls!"

Fireballs emitting dark red light appeared in the air and then quickly shot towards Yue Hongchen's direction.

"Pale blue poison."

Yue Hongchen dodged Xu Yang's attack while spewing blue and white smoke from his mouth.

Explosions continued to sound, and dark red flames continued to burn on the ring, splashing out sparks from time to time.

The blue and white poisonous fog gradually disappeared under the burning of the flames, but some of it still spread in the air wave generated by the explosion.

"Oh, damn, I knew it."

"Kill the enemy, come on, Silver Boy, no, why are you all wearing masks?"

"Oh my god, today I—"

The audience in the stands were talking about it. The old audience had already prepared masks in advance and were putting them on to continue enjoying the exciting fight.

The newbies had no idea how tricky this match was. They watched the confusing operations of the veteran audience and became dazed. Then they fell into a deep sleep and were taken away for treatment by a rescue team that had been prepared.

Xu Yang didn't care about this little poison. Once it was absorbed into his body, it would be burned to ashes by his flames.

He took off the one-foot-long wooden box from his waist, and, using the flames as a cover, quickly moved to Yue Hongchen's side.

He picked up the wooden box and pointed it at Yue Hongchen. He pressed the button on the wooden box and a metal collision sound was heard.

The next moment, several iron arrows shot out from the small holes on the wooden box. There was a short fuse behind the thick arrowheads, and they went straight through the flames.

"Moon Spirit Shield."

The third soul ring lit up quickly, Yue Hongchen sensed the danger, and the white light formed a light wall around him. A huge explosion sounded, and Yue Hongchen was directly blown away by the shock wave.

This soul skill of his has strong defensive power and fast casting speed. The only drawback is that he cannot move while using it.

However, Xu Yang's soul skills took the opportunity to continuously bombard the wall of light, and the ignited attack instantly detonated the compressed explosives on it.

The two combined into one, knocking Yue Hongchen away, and he is still trying to calm the surging blood in his body.

"hateful!"

These guys actually added compressed explosives to their weapons. That's really unethical.

While Yue Hongchen was rolling, he took the opportunity to take out the soul guide from the leather bag around his waist, and quickly shot it at Xu Yang when he relaxed his vigilance.

Several rays of light came in front of Xu Yang in an instant. Before Xu Yang could react, two bloody holes were pierced in his shoulders.

Xu Yang subconsciously covered the wound, and what followed was a severe pain that made his face a little distorted.

Didn’t they say that the thing would explode when used? How come nothing happened?

Seeing that Yue Hongchen had recovered, Xu Yang wanted to continue attacking in an attempt to pass the time.

However, in order to achieve the effect of that attack, Xu Yang's continuous bombardment had exhausted his soul power.

Yue Hongchen continued to shoot and pierced Xu Yang's thigh. A burnt smell rose from the wound.

"Hehe, you old antiques, how can you compare with our new era soul guides?"

Although he still felt pain in his body from time to time, he was still a beast martial soul after all, and his recovery ability was still very good. Yue Hongchen showed a smug smile on his face.

"Admit it, admit that the old times are not as good as the new times."

Yue Hongchen shook the soul guide gun in his hand, hiding the fact that he did not have much soul power, and tried to make the other party admit defeat.

"I will never admit defeat to you guys. You just research something new and call it a new era. How can we admit defeat to such rubbish?"

Xu Yang stared at Yue Hongchen, feeling very unwilling. If he knew that the latest soul guide gun would not explode, he would not have wasted so much soul power.

"Then you go die."

Seeing that his hard work was being called garbage by the other party, Yue Hongchen could no longer suppress the anger in his heart. He raised his soul guide gun, pointed it at Xu Yang and was ready to fire.

Xu Yang suddenly lowered his head, and an iron crossbow shot out from behind him quickly. The arrow head flashed a dark green light. He would take this guy with him if he died.

Yue Hongchen dodged subconsciously, his soul power continuously circulating and input into the soul guide gun.

The next moment, an explosion occurred in front of the two men. Flames and air waves continued to attack them. The iron crossbow was directly blown away by the air wave, fell to the ground, bounced a few times and stopped moving.

As expected, it exploded. My senior was right. That thing was rubbish. I was just unlucky.

At the last moment of his life, Xu Yang was still lamenting the other person's garbage in his mind.

A violent explosion sounded, and the air wave rolled up the smoke and dust on the ground, obscuring the audience's view.

They were still thinking how exciting the match was, with great visual effects, but they only saw a short amount of fighting time, it was all explosions.

The smoke and dust gradually dissipated, and there was no trace of the two people on the ground.

The referee flew down from the sky carefully. The air was still filled with the smell of gunpowder from the explosion, and the rolling heat waves continued to invade his skin.

The referee wiped the sweat from his forehead, raised his hand and answered loudly.

"This game is a draw!"

The audience in the stands wailed and finally realized that they had lost the bet.

"this thing……"
