Douluo: Make a gun first

Chapter 225 The Poison of the Eight Spider Lance

In mid-air, flames burned in Huoyun's pupils, the soul power in his body began to surge, and his momentum began to rise continuously.

The air around them also showed signs of burning heat at this moment.

Zhu Zhuqing below had a stern expression, as usual, with no apparent emotion or signs of fatigue.

The test was over. Huoyun released two soul skills in succession but was unable to defeat Zhu Zhuqing on the ring.

Zhu Zhuqing's condition at this time also made Huoyun feel uneasy. He was worried that if he continued to consume more energy, he would most likely fail.

After all, the strength of everyone in Shrek Academy is obvious to all. Beating people of the same level is like bullying, and fighting against people of higher levels is just a piece of cake.

Huoyun was very suspicious that Zhu Zhuqing, who was standing on the stage at this moment, might also have the ability to kill the Soul King alone.

In fact, Huoyun's guess was not wrong. If they were not on the ring, if it was dark at this time, if the power of the external soul bone Eight Spider Lance was taken into account, Zhu Zhuqing would be confident that he could assassinate not only a Five-Ring Soul King, but even a Six-Ring Soul Emperor.

But now, standing on the stage, in full view of everyone, Zhu Zhuqing was unable to use many of her methods. She was just an ordinary Soul Master.

Fighting across levels may appear in dreams.

But these fire clouds did not know that his third soul ring had already lit up.

With a loud crane cry, a huge red crane with a wingspan of more than five meters condensed on his body, and wisps of flames began to burn on his body.

Immediately afterwards, the fourth soul ring lit up, and Huoyun spread its wings and flew high into the sky, then turned sharply and swooped down towards Zhu Zhuqing on the stage.

Huoyun has now used all his strength.

Huoyun's martial soul is the Fire Crane, a crane-type martial soul with fire attribute.

But Huoyun himself is a spirit master of the agility type. His strongest attack has never been fire, but his beak that is as sharp as a spear.

Compared to the almost harassing fire attacks of his first and second soul skills, Huoyun's third soul skill summons the soul of the fire crane, and the beak pecking at a high speed while swooping down is his signature skill.

The flaming crane with a wingspan of five meters was like a meteor in the sky. Its beak, which was nearly one and a half meters long, stabbed towards Zhu Zhuqing like a spear.

Facing Huoyun's fast and sharp attack, Zhu Zhuqing's pupils contracted, his eyes stared directly at Huoyun, his muscles tensed, and he was ready to counterattack at any time.

Looking at the hooks on the ten fingers of Zhu Zhuqing's hands, it was found that the cloth had been silently woven with fine dark blue patterns, which looked extremely strange.

But everyone in Shrek Academy knew that this was the poison of the Eight Spider Lances.

Faced with Huoyun, an opponent who could restrain her, Zhu Zhuqing could no longer hide her strength. At this moment, she had no choice but to take out one of her many trump cards to instantly kill Huoyun, this troublesome opponent.

It's too late, but it's soon.

In a flash, the swooping fire cloud was already close to Zhu Zhuqing's face, but Zhu Zhuqing did not dodge. His fourth soul ring lit up, and his body instantly faded and disappeared.

When he appeared again, he was already under the swooping fire cloud.

Huoyun's eyes flashed, and he suddenly stretched out the Fire Crane's almost solid crane claw and clawed at Zhu Zhuqing fiercely.

Huoyun saw the previous battle between Zhu Zhuqing and Liuguang Banyue very clearly. Now that he chose to release his fourth soul skill for a close attack, he would naturally not fail to guard against Zhu Zhuqing's fourth soul skill.

However, when his sharp crane claws grabbed down, he did not feel like he was grabbing anything real.

Zhu Zhuqing, who was under his claws, had already turned into a wisp of green smoke and dissipated. Realizing that something was wrong, Huoyun immediately flapped his wings and flew high to increase the distance.

But it was still a moment too late. Zhu Zhuqing had turned over and was on his back at some point, stretching out her strange dark blue claws to grab him.

It turned out that the Zhu Zhuqing that Huoyun had captured before was just an afterimage, a fake body that Zhu Zhuqing deliberately released to confuse Huoyun.

Huoyun's attack speed was so fast that in that split second, Zhu Zhuqing didn't believe he could make more than three attacks, and even less did she believe he had time to analyze whether the one he was attacking was a fake body.

Crisis, crisis, danger and opportunity coexist, or it can be said that danger and opportunity coexist.

Zhu Zhuqing herself is a soul master who is extremely good at speed. Coupled with Bai Chenxiang, a spiky-tailed swift soul master known as the fastest in the world, Zhu Zhuqing is naturally aware of the flaws of being too fast.

That is, the human brain's reaction speed has a limit. From the time the eyes see something to the time the brain directs the body to react, it takes at least 0.1 seconds.

0.1 second may not seem like much, but it is enough time for a trained soul master to make more than two instinctive reactions.

Before launching an attack, a spirit master of the agility type could only rehearse in his brain, and then when approaching the enemy, he would perform the pre-rehearsed action in a split second, and at most, perform an instinctive action of the body in a critical moment.

The same was true for Huoyun at this time. After two rehearsed attacks, when he was sure that he had not hit Zhu Zhuqing, he immediately increased his altitude, intending to distance himself from Zhu Zhuqing and prepare for the next attack.

This is basically the same as the fighting style of other agility-based martial arts. If the attack misses, it will immediately flee thousands of miles away.

However, he was on the second floor, while Zhu Zhuqing was on the third floor, and had made one more calculation than him.

"Hey~~"

A shrill wail came out of Huoyun's mouth, and Zhu Zhuqing floated down.

In the sky, several feathers burning with flames fell from the air, transformed into the vital energy of heaven and earth in mid-air and dissipated into nothingness.

At the same time, several drops of black blood fell to the ground, corroding the blue steel stone arena with a slight sizzling sound.

It was obvious that Huoyun was injured.

Flying unsteadily in the air, Huoyun endured the pain in the back of his heart. A thin black line emerged silently from his neck and began to spread rapidly to his face.

The poison of the Eight Spider Lance is so overbearing.

In fact, the original poison of the Eight Spider Lance was not that strong, but don’t forget that Zhu Zhuqing’s current master is Dugu Bo.

More importantly, the Eight Spider Lance has the ability to evolve on its own, especially when fed with highly toxic substances.

In just two years, under Dugu Bo's instruction, Zhu Zhuqing's Eight Spider Lance had already reached the point where it could kill with one blow. Ordinary people would become weak and seriously ill just by smelling the scent, not to mention touching it.

Although Huoyun is a soul master and has even reached the realm of a four-ring soul master, he cannot hold out for long when faced with such a horrible poison.

This is also the biggest reason why Zhu Zhuqing has the confidence to assassinate the Six-Ring Soul Emperor alone.

Standing below the ring, looking at the flaming cloud swaying in the air, Zhu Zhuqing had a calm expression, and she began to recite silently: "3, 2, 1, fall!"

After counting three seconds, the word fell out. The fire cloud in the air rolled its eyes and fell from the sky.
