Free Web NovelChapter 153: Chapter 153: Poisonous Soul Devourer
"???"
Lv Yunsheng stared at the suddenly headless Third Boss of the Asura Tower, unable to process what had just happened.
He glanced at Shen Daoxing, then back at the headless corpse of the Third Boss, which was still spurting blood. His eyes widened. "Yang... Yang, aren’t... aren’t you just a scholar?"
"Who says a scholar can’t know a little martial arts?"
Shen Daoxing said flatly, tucking the Demon Soldier, Poisonous Fiend, into his robes.
For this strike, Shen Daoxing had not used the Great Ming Demon Sparrow. He couldn’t risk it, or he would expose his identity. Fortunately, back in the Land of the Dragon Vein Trial, he had acquired this Demon Soldier, Poisonous Fiend, from an assassin of the Li Kingdom and stored it in his Sumeru Ring at the time.
’Know a little martial arts?’
Lv Yunsheng was stunned.
’How is this knowing "a little" martial arts?’
’The Third Boss of the Asura Tower was someone even Crown Prince Chen Luo couldn’t defeat, yet you killed him with a single slash? That’s insane!’
Lv Yunsheng stared at Shen Daoxing in disbelief.
"Oh no! This is bad! The Third Boss has been killed!"
Just then, a grunt from the Asura Tower at the doorway saw the Third Boss’s body and screamed in alarm.
Instantly, two terrifying auras erupted from two different directions on the Cloud Ship.
"Third Brother!"
"Third Brother!"
Two furious voices rang out.
"BANG!"
"BANG!"
Two sections of the Cloud Ship’s interior walls suddenly exploded, and a middle-aged man with a scruffy beard and a burly, scar-faced middle-aged man burst out.
The newcomers were none other than the First and Second Bosses of the Asura Tower.
"Which bastard killed our Third Brother?"
The First Boss of the Asura Tower roared, his furious gaze sweeping the room.
When he saw the Third Boss’s headless corpse standing stiffly in front of Shen Daoxing, he instantly understood what had happened.
"It was you!"
The eyes of the First and Second Bosses of the Asura Tower looked as if they would split open with rage.
Lv Yunsheng jumped in fright and quickly moved closer to Shen Daoxing. "We’re done for, we’re done for! The Third Boss was already so terrifying. The First and Second Bosses of the Asura Tower will only be even more horrifying, and now there are two of them."
Lv Yunsheng looked at Shen Daoxing. "Yang, we have to run!"
As he spoke, Lv Yunsheng glanced out the window. All he saw was a vast Cloud Sea. They were still high in the sky. In an instant, all his hope turned to ash.
’We may be Martial Artists, but from a height of hundreds or thousands of feet... even with my strong physique, I’d never survive the fall!’
"Bastard! Pay for my Third Brother’s life with your own!"
At that moment, the First Boss of the Asura Tower shot up from the ground, leaping high into the air and bringing a fist crashing down.
"ROAR!"
The terrifying roar of a savage beast echoed.
A brilliant light flared from the First Boss’s fist, revealing the image of a ferocious tiger’s head.
Meanwhile, the Second Boss of the Asura Tower planted his feet firmly, his aura steady, then charged forward with explosive force.
"THUD! THUD! THUD!"
His heavy steps struck the floor, shaking the entire Cloud Ship.
"HRRRNNNG!"
For a moment, it was as if a giant elephant was charging toward them.
"It’s over! It’s over!"
Seeing this, Lv Yunsheng’s heart sank into despair.
Shen Daoxing drew the Poisonous Fiend. His figure flickered and vanished, reappearing in the next moment right in front of the First and Second Bosses of the Asura Tower.
"Poisonous Soul Devourer!"
Shen Daoxing muttered the name and slid two fingers along the blade of the Poisonous Fiend. Instantly, a thick purple mist billowed out from the sword.
In a moment, Shen Daoxing was hidden within the purple mist.
"BAM!"
"BAM!"
The First and Second Bosses of the Asura Tower both struck empty air.
The eerie purple mist enveloped the two men, corroding everything it touched. The floor of the Cloud Ship sizzled as small, deep holes were eaten into its surface.
The First and Second Bosses snorted coldly. A brilliant light erupted from within them, forcibly pushing back the purple mist and forming a Vigorous Qi Shield around their bodies.
Hundred-Slit Tiger Beast Fist!
The First Boss of the Asura Tower shouted, his body shuddering. BAM! BAM! BAM! He unleashed a rapid series of punches.
Faint tiger roars could be heard as tiger apparitions surged forth with his Fist Gang, instantly dissipating the surrounding purple mist and revealing Shen Daoxing’s figure.
At that exact moment, Shen Daoxing gripped his sword with both hands, raised the Poisonous Fiend high, and brought it down with a powerful swing. "Break for me!"
Four Symbols Sword Technique! Wind, Rain, Thunder, and Lightning!
Four Symbols in Place! The lights of wind, rain, thunder, and lightning intertwined, shining with ultimate brilliance.
At the same time, two streams of Sword Intent—one red and one white, Slaughter and Desolation—shot out with endless killing intent and a desolate aura, as fast as a flash of lightning.
"BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG!"
Countless fist shadows and Sword Intents clashed and tore at each other.
"RUMBLE!"
A blinding light exploded, leaving a void in its wake.
The Slaughter and Desolation Sword Intents drove straight through, slamming into the First Boss’s Vigorous Qi Shield with a loud BANG.
"CRACK! CRACK!"
The Vigorous Qi Shield shattered like a spiderweb.
Their momentum undiminished, the Slaughter and Desolation Sword Intents continued to drive forward.
"SQUELCH! SQUELCH!"
Two sprays of crimson blood flew into the air as two large holes were punched through the First Boss’s shoulders.
As the Vigorous Qi Shield shattered, the purple mist that had been lying in wait swarmed forward, crazily burrowing into his body through the wounds on his shoulders.
In just a few moments, his entire body turned purple.
"Ugh... AARGH!"
A miserable scream erupted from the First Boss’s mouth, a cry that seemed to originate from the depths of his soul.
The First Boss’s face contorted in agony. He clawed frantically at his own body, oblivious as he tore his skin to bloody ribbons.
Poisonous Soul Devourer!
Devouring the soul! Devouring the body!
Finally, amid his extreme contortions, as if his very mind had been corroded, the First Boss looked up with a twisted expression and froze in place.
By now, his body was a blackish-purple and he was emaciated, with corrupted skin and blood streaming from his wounds.
"Big Brother!"
Seeing his Big Brother’s horrific state, the Second Boss was startled. His concentration wavered, and the Vigorous Qi Shield around him flickered for an instant.
In that brief moment, Shen Daoxing seized the opportunity. The Poisonous Fiend in his hand fell, and he unleashed several streaks of purple sword light at an extremely sharp speed.
"CRACK! CRACK!"
Cracks instantly appeared on the Second Boss’s Vigorous Qi Shield, which then shattered like a spiderweb.
"SWISH! SWISH! SWISH!"
Several more streaks of purple sword light flashed, infused with wind, rain, thunder, lightning, wood... accompanied by a series of sharp, relentless, and terrifying Sword Intents.
"SQUELCH!"
Blood blossomed from the Second Boss’s body as one horrifying Sword Mark after another appeared on his flesh.
Instantly, the surrounding purple mist surged toward him as if it had discovered delicious prey.
"Ugh... AARGH!"
Another miserable scream echoed throughout the Cloud Ship. It was a pain that seemed to burrow deep into the soul, causing everyone on board to feel their hearts pound in their chests and their hair stand on end.
Because the entire battlefield was shrouded in purple mist, the uninformed onlookers could only assume that the men from the Asura Tower were monstrously cruel, torturing someone so inhumanely.
