Soul Land IV (Douluo Dalu) : Ultimate Fighting-Chapter 1158 - : Both Sides Suffer?

Chapter 1158: Chapter 1158: Both Sides Suffer?

I have to say, his counterattack was perfectly timed. In almost an instant, the five-color light had already reached Lan Xuanyu. He truly had no chance to avoid it. The side effects of the God Annihilating Shock within him had not yet subsided.

Lan Xuanyu had his own methods. His body suddenly shrank, and his thirty-plus-meter-tall giant form quickly reverted to human shape. At the same time, his body fell backwards and “Bang,” he landed on the ground. The five-color light passed just above him.

Although this move seemed somewhat awkward, he had managed to dodge his opponent’s counterstrike without employing any abilities.

But at that moment, a bizarre scene occurred. Lan Xuanyu suddenly felt everything around him become illusory. The colorful light enveloped everything, making it seem as if he had entered into a strange, colorful world.

Just a short distance in front of him, figures began to materialize. It seemed to be his companions. The ground beneath his feet was also changing.

Was this… Eternal Sky City?

...

It was a land made up of thick branches, and not far away were towering mountains of trees, with a rich breath of life blowing towards him.

A golden figure descended from the sky, unmistakably his father, Golden Dragon Moon Song Tang Wulin.

“Xuanyu, you’re back,” Tang Wulin said with a smile.

“Your mother has awakened,” Tang Wulin added.

Lan Xuanyu did not respond, merely watching the golden figure approaching him. Suddenly, his eyes lit up. Two purple lights converged in his pupils. In the next instant, everything seemed to slow down.

The Dragonlance instantly thrust forward, with an unstoppable momentum, as thousands of golden rays burst forth, lunging at the figure of light in front of him.

The surrounding colorful light burst like bubbles, revealing Hu Hongyu with a look of astonishment on his face.

“Clang,” a crisp sound as two Dragonlances clashed. The immense force sent Hu Hongyu flying backward.

“How is it possible? How did you break my illusion so quickly?” Hu Hongyu exclaimed in disbelief.

The Five-Color Illusion, Light Illusion. It could evoke deep-seated memories in the opponent, making them subconsciously see everything they desired in their memories. Meanwhile, he would transform into one of them and deliver a fatal blow.

This was the powerful ability, a combination of Hu Hongyu’s Spiritual Domain and his own Dragon Power, which had almost never failed. He had not even used this ability in his previous match against Xu Yanmo, saving it for a crucial moment later on.

Had Lan Xuanyu not been suppressing him so fiercely, he would not have easily used this ability. But now, desperate for victory in this competition, he took the risk. He activated the Five-Color Illusion to create an opportunity for himself to win, only for Lan Xuanyu to break through it instantly.

The reason Lan Xuanyu was able to dismantle the spiritual illusion was not just because he had the Purple Demon Eyes. Let’s not forget, within him resided the entity most adept at casting illusions! The Treasure Hunting Beast could be regarded as the originator of illusions. The moment the surrounding light began to shift, it had already warned Lan Xuanyu that it was an illusion. Lan Xuanyu wouldn’t be fooled, and naturally, he launched an attack immediately.

Both parties separated again, each returning to their human forms. For this competition, the “Golden Dragon Princess” was finally enduring much longer.

From the current situation, it was clear that Lan Xuanyu had the advantage, but Hu Hongyu also had chances to counterattack.

Lan Xuanyu watched his opponent intently, his Dragonlance pointing diagonally at the ground as his momentum began to soar. The Golden Dragon Rage Domain beneath his feet bloomed once again.

Hu Hongyu held his Dragonlance in his left hand, while his right hand dangled limply by his side. The fierce light shone in his eyes as he watched Lan Xuanyu move slowly, as if searching for Lan Xuanyu’s weak spot.

“Roar—” The resounding dragon roar burst forth from both of them almost simultaneously and in the next instant, they both rushed towards their opponent at high speed.

The terrifying air instantly exploded with sound, and the golden dragon’s shadow shone brilliantly in the air. Lan Xuanyu’s eyes also turned completely gold in a flash.

The five-color light also blossomed at the same time. Hu Hongyu’s Dragonlance changed color completely in that moment, launching forward in a desperate attack, thrusting straight toward Lan Xuanyu’s chest.

“Clang—” The Dragonlances collided. But this time, Lan Xuanyu could not knock his opponent back; instead, Hu Hongyu’s five-color Dragonlance stuck to his. Hu Hongyu’s body swung upward, but in an instant, the five-color light poured out like a waterfall, gathering toward his previously limp right arm.

With a fierce pull, he released the Dragonlance from his left hand and his body suddenly crashed into Lan Xuanyu’s embrace.

His right hand, now entirely transformed into a spectrum of colors, clenched into a fist, smashing ruthlessly toward Lan Xuanyu’s chest.

In this blow, Hu Hongyu had mustered all his strength without the slightest hesitation or doubt. He knew that his opponent’s shockwave ability was not yet available, but it would soon recover. Once it did, he wouldn’t be able to withstand another hit.

Earlier, he had let his right hand hang limp at his side to deceive Lan Xuanyu. Although he had been injured previously, it was not as serious under the protection of the Five Elements of Light. What drained him most was his own Dragon Power. After all, he too practiced Dragon Power Refining, and his cultivation was profoundly deep. He had completed the first Body Refining stage and had entered the Marrow Training Realm.

This strike, although worsening his injuries, was the opportunity to win. He had used the Dragonlance to stick to Lan Xuanyu’s weapon and used his five-elemental power to counter Lan Xuanyu’s power, moving in close to deliver a punch like a Sacrifice Strike, seeking victory.

The most terrifying aspect of his light attribute five-elemental power wasn’t the attack power, but control. Once close enough to control, he could lock down his opponent’s Dragon Power, manipulating them at will. It was with this ability that he had caused the downfall of countless opponents.

Powerful and cunning as a fox—this was Hu Hongyu.

This time, it looked like Lan Xuanyu had no way to avoid the attack. He raised his left arm, not to block, but to clench it into a fist, fearlessly aiming for his opponent’s chest.

Attack when the enemy must save themselves—this was a battle strategy where both sides would suffer damage.

Seeing this, Huang Daoqi, who was sitting atop the Dragon Power Pillar in the distance, suddenly stood up.

How was a mutually damaging outcome acceptable? Never mind whether they could win this battle, but what about the fights that would follow?

But that’s the battlefield. Without a clear victory or defeat, even the referees couldn’t interfere with the combatants. Everything could only be witnessed, watching helplessly as events unfold.

Hu Hongyu, known for his ruthless nature, would certainly not give up the slight chance he had wrestled away at this moment. With no thought of holding back, his fist had already smashed into Lan Xuanyu’s shoulder, while Lan Xuanyu’s fist had struck his chest.

It wasn’t that Hu Hongyu didn’t want to hit Lan Xuanyu’s chest—don’t forget that Lan Xuanyu was now “Blue.” As a rare beauty among the Dragon Clan, if Hu Hongyu dared hit where he shouldn’t, he’d become the public enemy of the entire clan. Moreover, at their level, hitting the opponent’s torso, whether it be shoulder or chest, didn’t make much difference.

“Bang—” Two booms merged into one, hitting their targets almost at the same time. Both figures were thrown backward.

“Boom—” A second explosion suddenly erupted from Hu Hongyu, and for reasons unknown, his Divine Dragon Armor on his upper body burst open into countless fragments. He screamed in agony, his blood spraying wildly as he crashed heavily onto the ground far away, coughing up blood in great gushes.
