Chapter 194: You Win This Battle!
Xuan Mo's third spirit ring illuminated, and then "Heavy Rock Intention" immediately took effect on Reid, causing him to suddenly pause and even stumble unsteadily.
It turned out that Xuan Mo had been allowing Reid to suppress him not only to gain time and recover his physical strength, but also to deplete Reid's spirit power, preventing him from using his formidable second spirit ability.
This way, he could use gravity to restrain Reid's speed, giving him a slight chance of victory.
Under Xuan Mo's "Heavy Rock Intention," Reid stabilized his form, but his speed and power were severely suppressed by Xuan Mo.
"So that's what you were planning."
Reid wielded his eight swords, swinging them with all his might, his movements clearly visible to Xuan Mo.
Reid was momentarily stunned by Xuan Mo's sudden activation of "Heavy Rock Intention." With victory or defeat decided in such a split second, the outcome was predictable.
Xuan Mo seized Reid's moment of distraction, suddenly spun to his side, and grabbed his shoulder.
The "Taotie Battle Body" permeated Xuan Mo's entire body. With just one grasp, Reid's previous vigilance was completely wasted. The meager amount of soul power remaining within him was once again devoured by Xuan Mo's contact.
Immediately, Xuan Mo exerted force with both hands, directly grasping Reid's scapula. Then, bending his right leg, he suddenly lifted it up... "Bang!"
Xuan Mo's knee collided with Reid's chest.
Immediately following, Xuan Mo's elbows struck again.
"Bang!"
Reid was knocked to the ground by Xuan Mo, and the already unbearable stone slabs of the ring shattered violently. Reid was pinned to the ground.
Before Reid could react, Xuan Mo's fist was raised high, about to strike him.
In this critical moment, Reid, relying on his combat instincts and reflexes, thrust the umbrella-shaped blood sword in his right hand across his chest and then smashed his fist into it, narrowly escaping the blow.
But this wasn't the end of the matter. With such a golden opportunity, he had to press on. Otherwise, if Reid had a chance to turn the tide, the match would be completely over.
"Boom! Boom! Boom..."
As Xuan Mo's punches rained down, the six arms behind Reid, along with the six illusory blood swords they held, were either devoured by Xuan Mo or shattered.
In the end, only the umbrella-shaped blood sword, formed by Reid's third soul skill, remained of his eight blood swords.
However, because Xuan Mo showed no sign of stopping, Reid had no chance to fight back.
Soon, a crisp crack echoed, accompanied by the sound of his fists. The source of the shattering sound was the umbrella-shaped blood sword in Reid's hand.
As Xuan Mo increased his force, the umbrella-shaped blood sword couldn't bear the weight. With a mournful wail, it shattered into fragments, then transformed into blood-colored soul energy, gradually dissipating.
Xuan Mo seized the opportunity and delivered another punch.
This time, it struck Reid's chest with such force that it seemed to break several ribs, sending him flying backwards.
"Puff!"
But what Xuan Mo hadn't expected was that Reid delivered a final, brutal blow, burying his claws into Xuan Mo's chest, causing him to spurt blood.
Meanwhile, Reid, blasted from the ring by Xuan Mo's punch and the force of gravity, was deemed out of bounds by the referee, though his injuries were considerably less severe than Xuan Mo's.
Reid slowly rose, looking at Xuan Mo with a complex expression. He knew his battle with Xuan Mo had concluded, and the outcome had been decided.
"I'm not someone who can't stand losing," Reid said, something no one understood. Then, after taking a deep breath, he said, "I lost this match!"
The entire audience erupted in laughter.
"How is this possible? A Soul King lost to a Soul Master."
"Are you kidding me?"
"Shrek... is an unprecedented formidable foe."
On the podium, Ning Fengzhi appeared calm and composed, but in reality, a turbulent storm was brewing within him.
Glancing at the sullen-faced Saras, he slowly said, "Heroes truly emerge young. A Soul Master can defeat a Soul King. Not bad, really good."
"Hmph! Not bad indeed..."
Saras, clearly displeased, said nothing and simply led his men away.
At that moment, Bone Douluo suddenly leaned in to whisper in Ning Fengzhi's ear.
"Fengzhi, let me tell you..."
After Ning Fengzhi heard Gu Rong's words, his eyes gleamed. "What a powerful little fellow..."
Meanwhile, "Bang! Crackling!"
Lofuki, his face extremely gloomy, swept the bowl of medicine on the stone table next to him to the ground again. "Damn it! Is he a loser? A Soul King actually said he was defeated by a Soul Master!"
Watching Reid approach the team, Lovki was completely oblivious to anything else but his rage.
Before anyone could react, Lovki launched into a barrage of insults, the most savage imaginable.
"Shut up!"
Reid uttered a murderous, cold shout. He looked at Lovki and said, "You, an androgynous creature with both legs crippled, dare you to speak against me!"
Reid flung his sleeves and turned. "I joined Team Barak because of my battle with Xuanzi. Now that my battle with him is over, there's no need for me to stay here." With that, he left, ignoring everyone's attempts to stop him, leaving Lovki bewildered. Meanwhile, as soon as the referee announced the end of the match, the Shrek team rushed to the ring and retrieved the injured Xuan Mo to prevent any further incidents.
"Mo, are you okay?"
Ning Rongrong couldn't help but feel anxious at the sight of the bloodstains on Xuan Mo's body. Then she quickly stepped forward, tears welling up in her eyes.
"Don't worry, I'm fine," Xuan Mo forced a smile, stoking the excruciating pain. He waved at Ning Rongrong, signaling he was fine, then quickly took the healing sausage Oscar handed him and swallowed it.
Meanwhile, Jiangzhu immediately summoned her spirit, the "Life Scepter," and used her self-healing spirit ability to temporarily heal Xuan Mo's injuries.
After quickly returning to camp, Ning Rongrong went to Xuan Mo's room and personally tended to his wounds.
However, after Ning Rongrong wiped the blood from Xuan Mo's body, she discovered that Jiangzhu's treatment had healed the scabs, and even fresh skin had grown back.
After Ning Rongrong meticulously cleansed Xuan Mo, only the scars remained.
But the next moment, just as Xuan Mo was about to speak to Ning Rongrong, an unprecedented sense of fatigue washed over him.
Then, his vision suddenly went black, and he lost consciousness instantly...
