Chapter 44 Rescuing the Kitten
A flicker of despair crossed the girl's eyes; she knew she couldn't escape.
With her soul power nearly exhausted and her body covered in wounds, she had no way out when surrounded and attacked by a Soul Master and four Soul Venerables who worked together seamlessly.
Just as the azure blade light touched his body and the claw wind from behind struck, Tang Yu moved.
Without making a grand display, he simply stepped out from behind the tree, casually raised his right arm, and swung it through the air towards the center of the battlefield.
However, just as he swung his arm, something unexpected happened!
"Sizzle—!"
His right sleeve was instantly torn apart by a violent force!
What was revealed was not a human arm, but a dragon's arm covered with dark gold diamond-shaped scales, bulging muscles, and full of explosive power!
Its five fingers had transformed into ferocious dragon claws, the tips gleaming with a cold, metallic light, as if they could easily tear apart fine steel!
Arms transformed into dragon form!
This is one of the abilities that comes from the initial activation of the Golden Dragon King's bloodline and its deep integration with the physical body!
Over the years, through tempering in Dragon Valley and absorbing fragments of the Dragon God's core, Tang Yu has reached a new level of control over his own bloodline. He is now able to partially draw upon the power of the Golden Dragon King, causing parts of his body to transform into dragons and gain unparalleled physical strength!
The dragon-transformed right arm swung, bringing forth not the light of a soul skill, but a pure and extreme storm of power!
"boom--!!!"
The air was literally shattered by this simple arm swing!
A solid, visible dark golden shockwave shot forward in a fan shape!
Wherever the shockwave passed, a deep trench was plowed into the ground, soil and rocks were overturned as if by an invisible giant hand, and trees were snapped in half!
This shockwave, generated purely by force, first struck the eagle-type Soul Master who had taken to the air and was preparing to swoop down and attack.
"Pfft!" Before he could even react, it was as if he had been hit in the face by an invisible, heavy hammer. His protective soul power shattered like paper, and a clear cracking sound came from his sternum.
He was sent flying backward like a tattered sack, crashing into several large trees before collapsing to the ground, spitting out blood and completely losing his fighting ability.
The shockwave continued its relentless advance, colliding head-on with the several Netherworld Slash Blades unleashed by Zhu Zhuyun.
No skills, no fancy tricks, just absolute overwhelming power!
"Snap! Snap! Snap!"
That sharp blade, powerful enough to severely injure a Soul Master, shattered like fragile glass before this pure power shockwave!
It didn't even slow down the speed of the shock wave!
The raging torrent of dark golden power continued unabated, crashing heavily into Zhu Zhuyun and the two Soul Masters in front of her who were trying to resist!
"ah--!"
"Ugh!"
Screams rang out at the same time.
Zhu Zhuyun was the first to be hit, feeling an irresistible, brute force slam into her chest. The soul power shield she had desperately erected shattered instantly, and a sweet taste rose in her throat as blood gushed out uncontrollably.
He was thrown backward like a kite with a broken string, crashing heavily more than ten meters away. His clothes were torn, revealing a large expanse of white skin. He lay sprawled on the ground in a disheveled state, his eyes filled with unparalleled horror.
The two Soul Masters who stood in front fared even worse. One's wolf claws twisted and deformed, while the other, a Soul Master with a leopard-type martial soul, had his internal organs displaced by the shock. Both of them coughed up blood and tumbled out, unable to get up for a while.
The last Soul Master who attacked from the side and rear, although not hit head-on by the shockwave, was only swept by the aftershock. He felt as if he had been hit by a charging rhinoceros. His blood surged, his attack came to an abrupt halt, and he staggered backward, looking in horror at the figure that had suddenly appeared and possessed a terrifying dragon arm.
What terrified them even more was that this mysterious young man never released a single spirit ring from beginning to end!
Without any spirit rings lighting up, he shattered the Soul Sect's full-force attack with a wave of his hand, severely injuring four Soul Masters!
This is completely beyond their understanding of the Soul Master system!
The open space fell into a deathly silence, with only heavy breathing, painful groans, and the mournful sound of the wind blowing through the broken wood.
All eyes turned in horror to the edge of the jungle—to the boy who had almost thwarted their entire attack with a single swing of his arm, yet had not even revealed a single spirit ring.
The moonlight pierced through the clouds and fell upon him.
The young man was tall and straight, with golden strands shimmering in his black hair. He had a handsome face, and his golden eyes, under the moonlight, were like molten gold, calm and deep.
His right arm, from the shoulder down, was completely covered with dark gold dragon scales, the muscle lines full of wild power and beauty, the dragon claw slightly open, the tip of the claw gleaming coldly, as if it could tear everything apart at any moment.
There were no spirit rings, no leakage of spirit power, only the inhuman dragon arm and the faint, soul-chilling pressure emanating naturally from the boy.
This unfathomable feeling is more terrifying than any spirit ring of any color!
Zhu Zhuyun struggled to prop herself up, looking at the dragon arm and the boy's calm, golden eyes. Her face turned ashen, and her whole body trembled uncontrollably.
What kind of monster is this?!
How could a human possess the arms of a dragon without using a martial soul?
What's even more terrifying is that he didn't even need to release his spirit rings to crush them... Could it be that he was a Title Douluo in disguise?
Or is it something forbidden?
The four Soul Masters were terrified, and they looked at Tang Yu as if he were an ancient ferocious beast walking among humans.
The absence of spirit rings means that the opponent may not have used spirit power at all, relying solely on physical strength... This completely overturned their worldview!
Tang Yu slowly lowered his dragon-transformed right arm. The dark golden scales on the arm slowly receded and disappeared as if they were alive, restoring it to the appearance of a normal human arm, except that the sleeve was already torn.
Tang Yu's gaze swept calmly over the disheveled group, but the moment he looked at Zhu Zhuyun, his pupils contracted and his blood surged.
A few seconds later, Tang Yu immediately turned around and looked at Zhu Zhuqing, who was stunned and frozen in shock.
Tang Yu reacted so strongly because Zhu Zhuyun's clothes were torn, and a large part of her towering white breasts was exposed to the air.
Tang Yu feared that if he continued watching, he might do something despicable. After all, with his current strength, no one present could do anything to him, and it would be easy for him to do some bad things.
"Who is this young master?"
Despite the excruciating pain in her chest and the turmoil of fear churning within her, Zhu Zhuyun spoke in a trembling, somewhat humble tone.
"This is a family matter of the Zhu family of Xingluo. Please do not interfere, young master."
Tang Yu remained silent with his back to Zhu Zhuyun.
Looking at Tang Yu, who had his back to her, Zhu Zhuyun instantly felt a sense of being looked down upon.
Seeing that Tang Yu had remained silent, Zhu Zhuyun was somewhat annoyed. She couldn't leave, but she knew she wouldn't win if she continued fighting.
Tang Yu, having regained his composure, said in an icy tone:
"I'll give you two choices."
"First, get out of here right now, and don't let me see you again after I turn around."
"Second," Tang Yu paused, his dragon-transformed right arm not reappearing, but an even more dangerous aura began to gather, and the surrounding air seemed to become heavier, "I will personally 'send' you away forever."
The last few words, carrying a chilling coldness, made Zhu Zhuyun feel as if she had fallen into an ice cave.
She had no doubt that this mysterious and terrifying boy, who didn't even bother to release his spirit rings, could definitely do it!
"Get out! Get out right now! We're never coming back!" Zhu Zhuyun screamed, no longer caring about her image or the servants. She scrambled to her feet, not even daring to look at Zhu Zhuqing, and turned to flee for her life out of the forest, several times faster than when she came.
The four Soul Masters felt as if they had been granted a pardon. They didn't even bother to help their injured companions. They scrambled and crawled away in terror, chasing after Zhu Zhuyun in the direction she had fled. In the blink of an eye, they disappeared into the dark forest, leaving behind only messy footprints, billowing dust, and a scene of utter devastation.
