Chapter 29: Chapter 29 Battle_1
The Coffin Bearer took a deep breath, reassuring himself frantically, "This kid just has talent; I might not necessarily lose to him in a real fight."
His eyes suddenly sparkled, and he said sinisterly, "That's right! I won't lose! Second Soul Skill: White Bones!"
The second yellow Centennial Soul Ring lit up, and the closed coffin began to shake madly as if some terrifying creature was about to burst out...
Xu Sheng was in no hurry to take action, watching the trembling coffin with full curiosity, "This Martial Soul is quite interesting; it must be similar to summoning creatures from a Different World!"
Jia Le, standing on a floating board in the air, exclaimed when she saw the Coffin Bearer taking action, "Whoa, the Coffin Bearer has taken the lead with his Second Soul Skill. What could possibly emerge from the coffin?"
The audience below was all agitated with curiosity, craning their necks to catch a glimpse.
"Is it coming out? The Coffin Bearer's special ability to summon Otherworldly Creatures!"
"It's said that the creatures summoned by his soul skill have flesh and blood, and can quickly regenerate even if their heads are chopped off."
"This guy's in trouble; such things cannot be killed!"
With a "Crack", the entire coffin lid blew open, and the massive impact sent it hurtling into the sky...
Afterward, a creature with a broad body, covered with white bones, slowly walked out from the coffin. The most eerie part was the sight of blood flowing between its various body parts!
The White Bone creature fixed its dead gaze on Xu Sheng, continuously revealing a terrifying and bizarre smile while muttering repetitively, "Kill... Kill."
Xu Sheng said in surprise, "It can even speak; this Martial Soul is quite unique."
Though he still appeared laid-back on the surface, a hint of vigilance stirred within him...
The Coffin Bearer sneered, "The kid must be scared stiff! What an opportunity!"
Upon receiving the command, White Bone shuddered abruptly and pulled out one of its ribs, clutching it tight and charging towards Xu Sheng...
In the eyes of White Bone, infinite murderous intent gleamed, "Kill... Kill!"
When it reached Xu Sheng, it thrust the rib in its hand viciously...
Xu Sheng, with a calm gaze, watched as the White Bone creature came stabbing towards him, and in the next moment, he deftly dodged its attack with a side-step. Itchy-handed, he swung back with a full-force slap...
"Bang"
With tremendous ease, Xu Sheng's powerful slap ruthlessly flung the White Bone creature away. The creature's bones scattered across the ground like fragments, clattering loudly...
The Coffin Bearer shouted in shock, "What! Just one slap shattered my White Bone!"
Even the body of his White Bone could withstand a fierce blow from a direct-attack class Soul Ancestor, but in front of Xu Sheng, it was as fragile as paper!
Xu Sheng stylishly shook his sore arm from the slap. After all, he had struck solid bone, and the full-force attack must have caused a recoil, though he wasn't sure if White Bone suffered any harm.
After the tingling sensation dissipated, Xu Sheng mockingly said, "No way, is your White Bone that fragile?"
The Coffin Bearer, finding himself in an awkward situation, clenched his fist and retorted, "Kid, don't be smug! My White Bone is, in fact, unkillable!!"
As long as he had Soul Power, the creatures he summoned were undying!
Hearing this, Xu Sheng frowned and refocused on the White Bone fragments that had just been scattered. "Unkillable?" he mused.
No sooner had he spoken than the White Bone, shattered by his slap, began to reassemble itself. Within seconds, it stood up again, pulled out another rib, and swiftly rushed towards Xu Sheng...
A look of surprise crossed Xu Sheng's eyes as he mused to himself, "Am I fighting a Gundam here, with its regenerating ability?"
But the lifeless White Bone didn't give him any time to breathe, coming close for another piercing thrust...
Xu Sheng whispered softly, "Third Soul Skill, Blood Begonia's Command."
Xu Sheng's third black Soul Ring lit up...
Blood Begonia's Command: (A powerful single-target defense technique, the shield doesn't disappear until it breaks)—in other words, if the light barrier couldn't be shattered in one go, then it would persist indefinitely!
In an instant, a supremely dense light barrier formed millimeters away from Xu Sheng's skin, enveloping him entirely at a lightning-fast speed...
The White Bone's ribs, thrust out with force, slammed into the light barrier, which didn't even display a single crack...
Instead, the ribs it held snapped in two like twigs and fell to the ground...
Confusion filled the blank White Bone's dark eye sockets, along with a trace of doubt—it dumbfoundedly looked at its rib on the ground, then back at the light barrier surrounding Xu Sheng...
Thus, a highly dramatic scene unfolded on the battlefield; the mindless White Bone repeatedly yanked out a rib to stab...and it broke...then again and again...the cycle unceasingly repeated...
The audience, initially confident in the Coffin Bearer, had already started to sneer and jeer...
"Pfft, hahaha, I'm dying of laughter! What the heck is this Coffin Bearer's soul skill?"
"This White Bone is so dumb, it's been stabbing for so long and it hasn't even pierced the guy's light barrier."
The Coffin Bearer squinted his eyes, his expression grave as he said, "Damn it!!! Is this the power of a Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Ring? White Bone's attacks are completely unable to leave even a mark on the light barrier."
Reliant solely on White Bone, the barrier simply couldn't be broken...
The Coffin Bearer took a deep breath, now was the time to go all out!
He coldly shouted, "Third soul skill, Blood Devour! Fourth Soul Skill, Troll!"
The third and fourth Soul Rings, one yellow and one purple, lit up...
The coffins lying on the ground immediately replicated into three coffins with phantom-like silhouettes.
The next moment, familiar "crack" sounds were heard as two coffin lids flew into the air again...
Jia Le, who had been silent until now, feigned excitement and said, "Whoa, it looks like our Coffin Bearer is finally ready to show his true strength. Let's guess what kind of creatures are inside the two coffins this time?"
Xu Sheng looked at the two additional coffins that appeared, the corners of his mouth slightly curving upward, "Useless. The gap between a Centennial Soul Ring and a thousand-year one, and my Title Douluo level Soul Power, the disparity is insurmountable."
From inside the two coffins emerged a behemoth, four or five times the size of a White Bone, its monstrous face snarling, the sharp jagged teeth in its mouth seemingly exuding endless danger.
The other housed a tall, vampiric woman with deathly pale skin and a face full of smiles, especially with her long fangs giving off a vampire-like sensation...
The two summoned creatures let out fierce howls, then one after the other lunged at Xu Sheng's shield, tearing towards it...
Under the control of the Coffin Bearer...
The White Bone jabbed with its ribs...
The woman in white bit with her fangs...
The behemoth hammered with its hefty arms...
...
After a long while, the Coffin Bearer rubbed his eyes in disbelief, staring intently at the still undimmed light barrier.
He exclaimed in shock, "This is impossible! Why hasn't the light barrier disappeared after being smashed for so long!"
Indeed, despite the three creatures pummelling the light shield for several dozens of minutes, it showed no sign of damage!
What on earth is this guy's Defense soul skill!!!
