Douluo Dalu: Start with a Heavenly Fire Sacred Judgement

Chapter 157 The Tragic Lone Bamboo Sword
Gu Zhu Jian was holding a disc of metal, while his teammates were each holding a large piece of metal of a different shape, and were installing them onto the metal disc in Gu Zhu Jian's hand. It looked like they were already halfway through the installation.

Seeing this scene, Xu Sanshi no longer hesitated and locked his eyes on the Solitary Bamboo Sword. The next moment, his fourth soul ring lit up and the Xuanming Replacement was activated.

So, in the next moment, the confused and surprised captain of the Douling Team, Gu Zhujian, swapped positions with Xu Sanshi.

In his hand, he was holding a half-assembled metal disc.

"Oh damn..." Gu Zhu Jian cursed in amazement. Although he understood what was going on, his mood couldn't be worse.

They were already on guard against Xu Sanshi's Xuanming Replacement. After Xu Sanshi revealed this soul skill, they analyzed a solution overnight, which was to prevent Xu Sanshi from locking onto the target, so there was a tall wall blocking them at the beginning.

However, Ma Xiaotao's outburst broke their plan. Ma Xiaotao, who was transformed into a true fire phoenix spirit by Ji Lin through extreme transformation, was a genuine level 68 Ultimate Fire Battle Soul Emperor. Even if a Soul King had the amplification of his teammates, his defense could not withstand the attack of the Ultimate Fire Offensive Battle Soul Emperor.

When Ma Xiaotao broke through their iron wall, their chance was declared dead. No matter how powerful the soul guide in his hand would be after it was assembled, they had no chance.

Looking at the Guzhu Sword holding the metal disc in his hand, Beibei slapped it with a Thunder Dragon Claw, followed by Wang Qiuer's golden dragon head and Ji Lin's red flame sword energy.

Dai Yuheng also released his second soul skill, White Tiger Fierce Light Wave, obviously intending to take away the Lone Bamboo Sword in one go.

Just as Gu Zhu Jian was about to make a move, Ling Luochen pointed the staff in his hand, and Gu Zhu Jian's feet were frozen in place.

If one must use a word to describe Gu Zhu Jian's mood at this moment, then the words grief and anger are the most appropriate. A thought flashed through his mind, I am definitely the most tragic captain in this tournament.

However, as the captain of the last top four team, Gu Zhu Jian was not so easy to deal with. Facing the beating, a ball of golden light flashed on his chest, and a golden light shield immediately covered his body.

Ling Luochen's soul skill of freezing his legs took effect, but Ji Lin and the others' attacks were blocked. Ling Luochen and the others recognized that this was the invincible shield that Ji Lin had used on them. It could last for three seconds when used by a Soul King.

As a one-time soul guide, it generally has a good power, and this invincible shield is the same. With this three-second buffer, at least Gu Zhujian can put away the half-assembled metal disc in his hand and release his martial spirit. The fifth soul ring on his body shines brightly, trying to resist and break through.

On the other side, Xu Sanshi had swapped positions with his opponent. Gu Zhujian was originally standing in the middle and back of the team.

However, Ma Xiaotao had already rushed into the enemy's formation, so Xu Sanshi did not need to face the same siege as Gu Zhujian.

Moreover, Xu Sanshi was well prepared and released his first soul skill, Xuanming Zhen, at the moment of the replacement.

The Xuanming Tortoise Shield slammed hard on the ground, and a black halo instantly spread from the shield, covering a distance of more than ten square meters, like a huge air shield pushing outward. In the process of being emitted, it was accompanied by a rumbling sound. At this time, all the members of the Douling Team gathered in this range. They were all affected immediately. This attack was too sudden for them. So that no one was prepared, and they were immediately shaken to the ground.

Ma Xiaotao took the opportunity to launch an attack, but the members of the Douling Team also reacted quickly. The moment Ma Xiaotao launched the attack, a golden light shield appeared on his body, the same as the captain's Gu Zhu sword. It turned out to be a disposable soul guide, an invincible shield.

The soul guide device, the Invincible Shield, was developed based on an extremely rare soul skill. It required a golden crystal, a specialty of the Sun and Moon Empire, as a medium. Under the injection of the core magic circle, the Invincible Shield could instantly release the energy in the golden crystal and generate a strong defensive force. The Invincible Shield was expensive and a disposable item, but the Douling Team was fully equipped with the Invincible Shield. The Douling Royal High-level Soul Master Academy had invested heavily in it.

Xiao Feng, the main controller of the soul, looked up at Ma Xiaotao flying into the air, holding his hands in a heart shape. A white bead emitting a faint purple mist appeared on his palms.

The thousand-year-old fourth soul ring shone brightly, and the bead suddenly emitted a layer of rich purple light, covering the six members of the Dou Ling Team and a large area around them. Within the scope of the purple light, everything became illusory and unclear, and there were even various fluctuations of soul power flashing from everywhere.

The Mysterious Pearl, this is the martial soul of Xiao Feng, the main soul master of the Douling Team. He can use the Mysterious Pearl to release various psychedelic abilities to protect and assist his teammates and deceive the enemy.

If Ma Xiaotao looked up as she flew into the air, she could only see a purple haze below her, while the six opponents were rapidly changing positions and began to release various spirit skills against her.

However, at this moment, Ma Xiaotao showed a hint of smile on her face, thinking to herself: "Do you think you can avoid my attack like this?"

Ma Xiaotao's whole body was bursting with flames, and she once again transformed into a fire phoenix and rushed towards the area covered by purple mist below.

"boom--"

A violent roar sounded, and a strong flame covered the entire arena. The temperature on the entire competition stage soared sharply.

The six members of the Douling Team felt their entire bodies burning, as if their soul power was burning. The soul skills they were brewing instantly disintegrated, and their bodies became completely stiff.

Phoenix Roaring Sky Strike, a powerful attack and defense combined control soul skill. Ma Xiaotao's fourth soul skill. With the enhancement of Phoenix Rising in Fire and Phoenix Wings Flying in the Sky, its power is by no means inferior to any ten thousand year soul skill.

Plus the flame temperature has been transformed into the ultimate fire.

Tang Niuniu's auxiliary soul skills and Xiao Feng's mysterious bead control instantly collapsed under the powerful impact of the Phoenix Roaring Sky Strike.

The six members of the Douling Team lost their combat effectiveness at the same time and were defeated by Ma Xiaotao alone.

At this time, the battle on the other side had also ended.

Faced with the siege of Ji Lin and others, and the control of Ling Luochen, the Guzhu Sword was ravaged by Dai Yueheng who used the three terrifying amplifying skills of White Tiger Body Barrier, White Tiger Vajra Transformation and White Tiger Demon God Transformation.

In preparation for the subsequent individual elimination round, Dai Yuheng was so ruthless that he injured Gu Zhujian so severely that he couldn't get out of bed for several days of recovery.

Even the referee shook his head and was full of sympathy for Gu Zhu Jian who was seriously injured.
