Invincible Over the World
Chapter 178 - 178 178 Battle of the Imperial City 10

178: Chapter 178: Battle of the Imperial City (10) 178: Chapter 178: Battle of the Imperial City (10) Yang Gang let out a roar to the sky, his body’s radiance surged, and a dark energy flow mixed with a bizarre ice blue swept in all directions as he summoned his Martial Soul Taiyin Beast.

The Taiyin Beast floated behind Yang Gang, and the bloodstains at the corners of his mouth disappeared.

However, recalling what he had just said, Yang Gang’s face reddened with embarrassment.

What had he claimed?

He didn’t need his Martial Soul, and he even let Huang Xiaolong strike first!

Now, he was starkly ridiculing himself.

Yang Gang looked up with a face full of resentment, hatred, and murderous intent towards Huang Xiaolong.

In an instant, Yang Gang became one with the Taiyin Beast, undergoing Soul Transformation.

Though breaking through to the Innate stage allowed the Martial Soul to condense into a physical form capable of fighting on its own, most would choose to undergo Soul Transformation, as it greatly enhanced the master’s abilities in all aspects.

After soul transforming, Yang Gang’s figure flashed, and he turned into a dark energy flow, rapidly drifting towards Huang Xiaolong.

His speed was incredibly fast, even faster than Huang Xiaolong’s previous use of Swift Shadow Following.

Upon reaching Huang Xiaolong, a vicious, blood-sucking glint flashed in Yang Gang’s eyes as he ferociously pressed his palms towards Huang Xiaolong’s chest.

“Withering and Flourishing Palm!”

With the release of his palms, dark energy surged forth and the ice blue radiance flickered.

This was the Power of Taiyin!

The Power of Taiyin was a force so yin, so cold, and so poisonous that it was unmatched in the world.

Following his Soul Transformation, Yang Gang possessed the Power of Taiyin that belonged to the Martial Soul Taiyin Beast, and the Withering and Flourishing Palm was a Middle Peak Earth Grade Combat Skill, with power not inferior to the ordinary Earth-grade Advanced Fighting Skills.

Yang Gang unleashed a powerful strike; he intended to blast Huang Xiaolong away with a single blow, thus cleansing the shame he had just suffered!

The airflow in the surrounding space, affected by the Power of Taiyin, solidified right there.

However, just as his palms were about to strike Huang Xiaolong’s chest, Huang Xiaolong suddenly raised his hands to meet them.

“Bang!” A resonant sound rang out as the palms collided.

Huang Xiaolong’s figure swayed as he took two steps back.

After retreating two steps, Huang Xiaolong discovered that a layer of Dark Ice had rapidly formed over his palms.

At the same time, streams of ice blue gas traveled along the energy channels in his palms, attempting to invade his body.

Seeing this, Yang Gang sneered coldly, “Huang Xiaolong, you were foolish enough to withstand the full force of my Taiyin Palm.

Let me tell you, the Power of Taiyin will travel along your energy channels and keep invading your body.

You’ll soon find that the blood in your veins will slowly freeze, and as the Taiyin Poisonous Gas enters your organs, it will feel like a myriad of ants gnawing at you, causing excruciating pain!”

“Just enjoy this wonderful sensation!”

As Yang Gang spoke, he burst into a haughty laughter, his voice echoing all around.

Below the stage, the crowd was shocked, and then many of them shook their heads.

“Huang Xiaolong was too careless.

Now that he’s been invaded by Yang Gang’s Power of Taiyin, it would be very difficult for him to win.

The Power of Taiyin is extremely yin, cold, and poisonous.

Even an Innate Third Stage powerhouse would have difficulty dispelling it!”

“He deserves it!

He thought he was certain to win after that blow that sent Yang Gang flying, which is why he was so careless!”

People discussed the matter, shaking their heads in pity, while many reveled in Huang Xiaolong’s misfortune.

On the main stage, Duan Wuheng, Cheng Jian, and the others frowned.

However, at that moment, a black light surged from Huang Xiaolong’s body, and with a shake of his palms, all the Dark Ice that had formed on them fell off.

As the Taiyin Poisonous Gas trying to invade Huang Xiaolong’s body through his palms touched the black energy inside him, it was instantly devoured clean by the black energy within Huang Xiaolong’s body.

Seeing this sudden change, the crowd beneath the stage couldn’t help but be astonished, followed by an uproar.

The Power of Taiyin was extremely yin, cold, and poisonous.

Yet Huang Xiaolong was unfazed by Yang Gang’s Power of Taiyin and his poison!

Duan Wuheng looked at the black light emerging from Huang Xiaolong’s body and pondered deeply.

“What kind of Fighting Energy is this?” Cheng Jian was also full of surprise and doubt.

On the platform, Yang Gang’s smile froze.

Huang Xiaolong looked at his opponent with an indifferent expression, “I’m sorry, your Power of Taiyin seems to have no effect on me!”

Yang Gang’s face turned extremely ugly.

At this moment, dark streams of energy surged out of Huang Xiaolong’s body as well.

Under the watchful eyes of the audience, Demon Wings unfurled behind him, his eyes turned blood-red, and his hair whitened, standing up one strand at a time.

Waves of killing aura swept across the entire Broken Blade Square.

The crowd was startled.

“Such a strong killing aura!” Xie Puti’s eyes narrowed.

“What Cultivation Technique is this?

He can transform without Soul Transformation?!” On the chairman’s stage, Cheng Jian’s eyes flickered.

Duan Wuheng remained silent, but at this moment, the look in his eyes toward Huang Xiaolong had changed.

Yang Gang stared at the transformed Huang Xiaolong with shock on his face; he could feel that Huang Xiaolong’s aura had increased significantly from before, and the killing aura on him actually made a chill rise in the depths of his heart.

Suddenly, Huang Xiaolong’s Demon Wings behind him stretched out, and his figure flashed, instantly appearing in front of Yang Gang.

The Shura Blades in his hands gleamed coldly as he slashed out.

“Hell’s Wind!”

Huang Xiaolong’s chilling voice echoed in the sky above Broken Blade Square.

Countless blades of cold light appeared out of thin air, transforming into two massive tornadoes that attacked Yang Gang.

A woeful wail of Hell rang out.

Hearing the woeful wail of Hell, an inexplicable fear surged within the hearts of the people in the square, inciting panic, dread, and extreme discomfort.

Yang Gang watched as the two massive tornadoes approached him, his eyes widening with fear, his figure darting backward, while simultaneously unleashing the Withering and Flourishing Palm frantically.

Under Yang Gang’s frenzied attacks, the air froze, and the two Hell’s Winds started to slow down.

Just when Yang Gang felt a moment of relief, Huang Xiaolong leaped into the air, and the Shura Blades swung out once more.

It was Hell’s Wind again, but this time, it was accompanied by Shura’s Tears!

The sobbing sounds of Asura pierced through the wail of Hell continuously.

Yang Gang stepped back in terror.

At that moment, he had retreated to the edge of the platform.

“Taiyin Body!” Suddenly, Yang Gang bellowed furiously, his skin was covered in a layer of ice blue color, and then, his entire body twisted instantaneously, as if becoming boneless and fleshless, barely evading Huang Xiaolong’s attack.

The Taiyin Body was Yang Gang’s Innate Soul Skill; after using it, his whole body became extremely pliable.

Seeing that Yang Gang had dodged his second attack, Huang Xiaolong felt no surprise.

If Yang Gang had been defeated so easily, the crowd would not have expected him to win second place this year.

After evading Huang Xiaolong’s second attack, Yang Gang twisted his body, seizing the initiative to aggressively attack Huang Xiaolong.

Unknown when, a shattered blade appeared in Yang Gang’s hand.

The broken blade in Yang Gang’s hand was blood-red and quite long.

On the blade, there was a black skull, and as he swung it toward Huang Xiaolong, it brought up an extremely unpleasant stench of blood, akin to the smell of a corpse that had been rotting for a long time, dizzying anyone who smelt it.

Huang Xiaolong swung his Shura Blades, clashing them together with a burst of light.

Both of them retreated at the same time.

Then, Huang Xiaolong flashed into mid-air, spinning continuously as he struck with the Shura Blades.

Fengdu Thunder enveloped the entire platform, and thunderous blows descended.

(Two chapters completed for today.

Just two for now, three chapters tomorrow.

These past few days, I’ve been feeling unwell, plus there are many things to take care of at home, so the updates have been a bit slower these past two days.

Please forgive me, Divine will try to update more and increase the speed.) (To be continued.
