Soul Land IV (Douluo Dalu) : Ultimate Fighting

Chapter 1362: Chapter 1362: Dragon Knight VS God Demon Form

Under normal circumstances, when the arena features the Dragon Clan, it’s usually just a symbolic challenge; getting a few Sky-Nurtured Crystal Stones would already be quite good. Yet, after Lan’s maneuvering, everything suddenly changed. Truly, it was… perfect.

Arena Number One.

“Miss Lan, hello. I am Xing Haotian of the Eight-Armed Demon Clan.” Surprisingly, the Eight-Armed Demon Crown Prince did not launch an attack immediately upon arrival but instead spoke to Lan Xuanyu.

Lan Xuanyu remained expressionless, only gazing coldly at him.

Xing Haotian said solemnly, “To be honest, I am unwilling to challenge you at a time like this. You are strong, and if I were to challenge you, it should be at your strongest so that we could fight fairly. However, I must apologize, for today, you have slain too many of my kin. For the honor of the Eight-Armed Demon Clan, I must represent my people and face you in battle.”

“I understand this is an unfair match. With your current state, it truly isn’t fair. For the sake of the friendship between the Dragon Clan and my clan, despite you killing several of my kin, I can promise you this: if I defeat you in your current state, I will spare your lives. The friendship between the Eight-Armed Demon Clan and the Dragon Clan will remain unchanged.”

If these words had come from warriors of another race, it might not have seemed strange. But coming from a member of the crazed Eight-Armed Demon Clan gave all those present an odd feeling.

This guy—is he truly from the Eight-Armed Demon Clan? These words sounded almost like an attempt to resolve conflict, yet his actions betrayed his intention to exploit the weakened state of the Golden Dragon Princess in a fight underhandedly. He even managed to frame it so impressively. Wasn’t it all for the final marriage duel? Truly insidious!

“Enough nonsense. Bring it on.” Bai Xiuxiu snorted coldly and flashed forward, already standing protectively in front of Lan Xuanyu.

Lan Xuanyu placed one hand on her shoulder from behind. Bai Xiuxiu turned her head to look at “her.” The two women locked gazes, their eyes filled with resolute determination.

The audience beneath the arena erupted into chaos. In that instant, the entire Sky Horse Plaza became noisy and clamorous.

If not for the fearsome reputation of the Eight-Armed Demon Clan, accusations of shamelessness and cowardice would likely have already resounded.

“Please—” Xing Haotian bellowed deeply, stretching out his eight arms, each holding a Purple-Golden Heavy Sword.

The quality of these swords was clearly far superior to the weapons wielded by his kin earlier. Each sword radiated a blade aura several meters long.

Xing Haotian stepped toward Lan Xuanyu and Bai Xiuxiu, each step causing the Divine Demon Core in his chest to glow brighter, his aura building with each movement, exuding overwhelming power.

“Roar—” At that moment, Bai Xiuxiu let out a piercing dragon roar. In the next instant, her body enlarged rapidly as she unleashed her Martial Soul True Body—Abyss Ice Demon Dragon!

Deep blue dragon wings unfurled, causing the temperature on Arena Number One to plummet instantly.

The audience suddenly realized that she was also from the Dragon Clan! Moreover, in all her previous battles, she seemed to have never revealed her real body. Only at this moment did she truly showcase her full form.

Her deep blue scales, glistening like crystal under the sunlight, appeared to be sculpted from gemstones. In terms of aesthetics, the Abyss Ice Demon Dragon was even more exquisite than the powerful and fearsome appearance of the Golden Dragon King.

Though not as massive as the Golden Dragon King, the Abyss Ice Demon Dragon’s body exceeded fifty meters in length. Its enormous dragon wings stretched outwards, equally imposing.

At this moment, the Golden Dragon Princess was already perched atop her head.

Her long hair danced, her ponytail fluttering in the wind. The Abyss Ice Demon Dragon’s head bore two elongated deep blue horns, one of which Lan Xuanyu gripped with her left hand. Though her face was pale, riding atop the giant dragon, she appeared utterly magnificent.

“Dragon Knight! It’s a Dragon Knight!” Exclamations erupted from the crowd. Indeed, at this moment, wasn’t Lan just like a Dragon Knight?

Even though her white veil gown was already stained red with blood, even though her complexion was on the brink of collapse, her determination, persistence, and unyielding spirit still embodied all the virtues of a Dragon Knight!

Xing Haotian was initially startled to see the Abyss Ice Demon Dragon suddenly grow in size. However, he quickly discovered that this dragon’s aura wasn’t particularly powerful. He instantly felt relieved.

Yes! Bai Xiuxiu had also participated in the prior battles. Though she hadn’t expended as much as Lan, her consumption was undoubtedly significant. Now, even if she revealed her real body, how much strength could she retain? If her power was insufficient, it wouldn’t matter.

“Ha!” Xing Haotian roared as a streak of purple-black light appeared behind him. The light expanded wildly, swelling to a towering height of a hundred meters in an instant.

The hundred-meter-tall Demon Form retained the Eight-Armed Demon’s features, its visage obscured but unmistakably unleashing a soaring aura. Xing Haotian’s body rapidly grew, merging with the Demon Form.

This was the exclusive bloodline ability of the Eight-Armed Demon Clan royalty: the God Demon Form. Only those with royal blood could wield it. Once activated, it unleashed several times the user’s original combat strength.

In this state, Xing Haotian’s physical prowess had already reached the God Rank, though his cultivation level had not yet broken through. He was on par with Qi Tianlong at his peak.

If this had been half a year ago, Lan Xuanyu in her current state would have hardly stood a chance against him.

But as for now, it was an entirely different scenario.

Facing the towering Demon Form, Bai Xiuxiu, in her Abyss Ice Demon Dragon form, flapped her wings, unleashing a devastating wave of Ice Demon Snow that blanketed the arena. With her wings driving the tempest, the snowstorm surged toward the Eight-Armed Demon Crown Prince.

The temperature on Arena Number One plunged dramatically, and the battlefield was shrouded in dimness. Each flake of deep blue snow carried an edge of extreme cold, arriving in an instant.

The Eight-Armed Demon Crown Prince’s enlarged body, empowered by the Demon Form, was instantly layered with a thin sheet of ice.

However, this did not hinder his attack. His colossal figure strode forward, wielding eight heavy swords that slashed out simultaneously. The gigantic purple-golden light blades interwove into a net of swords, descending upon Bai Xiuxiu.

Wherever they passed, the ice and snow currents were shredded, the blizzard seemingly torn apart and scattered.

Bai Xiuxiu did not opt to endure the attack head-on. Her wings pressed down, propelling her massive frame to soar into the sky. Despite her considerable dragon form, she executed a deft series of mid-air maneuvers, her body enveloped in layers of black radiance, which displaced the trajectory of the sword’s energy, preventing injury to her core physical form. This was the effect of the Heavenly Demon Dance within the Heavenly Demon Field.

To the Eight-Armed Demon Crown Prince, it felt as though he were attacking a massive quagmire. His strikes were absorbed and redirected by the flow of the “mud,” nudged off course continuously.

Having observed the prior battles, the Crown Prince of the Eight-Armed Demon Clan naturally paid close attention to Bai Xiuxiu’s abilities and gauged her combat force. From an analysis of her combat power, it was evident she lagged significantly behind Lan Xuanyu, particularly in terms of attack intensity and explosive force, leaning more towards auxiliary abilities.

Yet now, this dragon felt like an entirely different entity. Upon revealing her Ice Demon Dragon form, not only did her aura become markedly stronger, but even her abilities seemed to have enhanced drastically. Could it be that she had always concealed her cultivation level?

At this realization, an uneasy feeling briefly flickered in the Eight-Armed Demon Crown Prince’s mind. But of course, it was a fleeting concern. For the Eight-Armed Demon Clan, even though he was exceptionally calculating and composed, his will to fight remained unshaken, never allowing anything to compromise his fighting spirit.
