Douluo Dalu: Huo Yuhao Knows the Plot

Chapter 164: Encountering a Con Artist

As Huo Yuhao flew down, the skull sphere happened to roll towards him. Huo Yuhao was already looking for trouble with them, let alone the fact that they were delivering themselves to his doorstep. The Evil God Sword flew into his hand, and then, Huo Yuhao held the sword with both hands and slashed down.

Crack, crack!

A chilling sound echoed as the skull sphere flew back even faster than it had come, dropping more than a dozen white bones along the way.

As luck would have it, the skull sphere stopped only five meters away from the golden-skirted woman. After stopping, the skull sphere once again revealed its skull form, but after being struck by Huo Yuhao's sword, half of its body, including its right arm and right leg, had disappeared.

Without the support of its legs, the skeleton couldn't even stand up. Moreover, Huo Yuhao's sword had already severely injured it, leaving it on the verge of death. The green ghost fire in its eye sockets flickered dimly, as if it could extinguish at any moment.

Seeing this, the golden-skirted woman walked over expressionlessly, conjured a golden longsword in her hand, and then slashed down at the defenseless skull.

With a single strike, she decapitated it. The green ghost fire in the skull's eye sockets completely extinguished, and the head rolled away.

As the skull completely died, wisps of black gas emerged from its broken, headless corpse. Immediately afterward, Huo Yuhao saw the skull gradually transform into a human male corpse, and a naked one at that. The skull head that had rolled away also turned into the head of a fair-skinned young man with short white hair.

Ah, this is too eye-watering! Huo Yuhao's expression was slightly awkward.

However, the golden-skirted woman didn't see this scene. After chopping off the skull's head, she turned and walked in another direction. Following the direction she was walking, Huo Yuhao was shocked. He saw a familiar face.

Light blue martial attire, long black hair tied into a simple ponytail, an oval face, delicate features, and an aura that made people feel very uncomfortable, even though that aura was very faint.

Tang Ya, a fourth-year student of the outer court of Shrek Academy, and the Sect Master of the Tang Sect. However, Tang Ya was currently unconscious for some reason.

Why would she appear here? According to the original story, Tang Ya should have been captured by the Holy Spirit Church long ago.

Huo Yuhao frowned deeply. From Tang Ya to the Abyss Plane, everything revealed an unusualness. The development of the plot was becoming increasingly unclear.

And these changes were not caused by Huo Yuhao. He knew that he, this little butterfly, didn't have the ability to influence the Abyss Plane.

Not good! Huo Yuhao saw that the golden-skirted woman had already walked in front of Tang Ya and raised her longsword.

Four soul rings, yellow, purple, purple, and purple, appeared on Huo Yuhao's body, and his fourth soul skill was activated instantly.

Evil God's Guard.

A purple-black罩罩 protected Tang Ya's entire body, and at the same time, the golden longsword fell.

Tang Ya was already a lamb to the slaughter, so the golden-skirted woman didn't use much force at all. This sword struck the Evil God's Guard, not only failing to break it, but also causing her to suffer a backlash, staggering back several steps.

Huo Yuhao flashed in front of Tang Ya to prevent the golden-skirted woman from attacking Tang Ya again, but at this moment, Huo Yuhao's eyes were filled with shock as he looked at the golden-skirted woman.

Although the Evil God's Guard was his fourth soul skill, the Dark Demonic Evil God Tiger that produced it had a cultivation of over 40,000 years. Even if it was limited by his Soul Elder cultivation, the defense of the Evil God's Guard was enough to be comparable to the sixth soul skill of an ordinary Soul Emperor.

But just now, the golden-skirted woman's ordinary strike had actually broken nearly 20% of the Evil God's Guard's defense.

However, Huo Yuhao quickly understood that this was attribute suppression. The opponent's divine attribute had a natural suppression effect on the evil and darkness of the Evil God's Guard.

The golden-skirted woman, having stabilized her figure, swept her cold gaze towards Huo Yuhao, but her eyes also carried a hint of confusion. What was going on with this person? He had just helped her kill a Soul Evil Master, so why was he now turning around to stop her?

"What do you mean by this?" the golden-skirted woman questioned Huo Yuhao.

Huo Yuhao didn't know what to say, because no matter how you looked at it, Tang Ya was now a genuine Soul Evil Master. After a moment of silence, Huo Yuhao said, "I know this person. I don't know why she turned out like this, but I think we should at least find out what's going on."

"What a joke! Just because you know her, you want to protect her? Do you think I'll let her go?" The golden-skirted woman sneered, not giving Huo Yuhao any face at all. Honestly, Huo Yuhao's aura made her feel very uncomfortable, but she could sense that he wasn't a Soul Evil Master, which was why she hadn't attacked him. However, that didn't mean that Huo Yuhao could stop her from punishing evil and promoting good.

Huo Yuhao also knew that his reason was a bit far-fetched, but he couldn't bear to watch Tang Ya be killed.

Nodding, Huo Yuhao said calmly, "Since you're so insistent, then let's see who's stronger."

The golden-skirted woman's expression turned even colder upon hearing this. She really looked down on the situation. She really couldn't understand how a Soul Elder who had just reached level forty had the audacity to say such a thing to her.

Despite her doubts, the golden-skirted woman's movements were not slow at all. She raised her hand and slashed forward with her sword, and then, her fifth soul skill, Holy Sword.

Without saying much, seeing that the golden-skirted woman had already slashed over with her sword, Huo Yuhao also took out his signature skill and used all his strength. The golden-skirted woman's strength made him dare not be careless in the slightest.

Two sword lights intertwined. At first, the white-gold longsword and the blood-colored sword light were evenly matched, but soon, the golden-skirted woman's Holy Sword overwhelmed Huo Yuhao's sword light and shattered it.

Huo Yuhao wasn't surprised by this. The Spiral Strike without the domain bonus was still unable to contend with a Soul Emperor, and this woman was a rare powerhouse even among Soul Emperors.

But that didn't matter. If one sword light didn't work, he would just use another one. This was the advantage of creating his own soul skills. There was no skill cooldown time limit.

Another sword light was swung out. The Holy Sword, which had been weakened earlier, was insufficient, and this time it barely leveled with Huo Yuhao's sword light. The two attacks dissipated at the same time, and the energy that erupted spread to the surroundings.

Huo Yuhao didn't feel much. All along, Poison Undying had been flying with him, so he was still at full health at this time.

What surprised him was that the golden-skirted woman actually fell straight down under the impact of this insignificant energy.

Ah, this, could it be that he encountered a con artist?
