Chapter 181: Chapter 181: Xiao Zhan, Battle Spirit Form!

"Ah!"

Huang Jun let out a scream of agony.

The piercing pain of icy cold and scorching heat in his chest twisted his face into one of angry contortions, his eyes like those of a fierce demon, as he forcefully endured the pain and cleaved at Xiao Zhan with his blade.

But at the very moment he swung his blade, his pupils suddenly shook with horror!

For at this moment, Xiao Zhan had completely transformed, looking nothing like he did just moments ago.

Xiao Zhan’s hair had grown longer, his stature elevated and his figure became slender and frail. His entire skin took on an unhealthy pallor clinging tight to his bones, reducing him to a skeletal figure devoid of any flesh color, akin to a carcass.

His eye sockets were wide, his eyes themselves deeply sunken, surrounded by dark, deathly halos. The pupils were pitch black, as if black holes, and his entire body was shrouded in black flames and mist.

Yet despite appearing as flames, they exuded an extremely chilling aura.

In his hand, a Demon Scythe was raised aloft, its handle now more slender than before, and the curved blade had more than doubled in size, with an even sharper and more curved edge, ready to more easily reap the lives of others!

Seeing this version of Xiao Zhan, Huang Jun was stunned to immobility, his movements slowing down by a beat.

"Battle... Battle Spirit Form!"

Huang Jun was in utter shock.

Wasn’t this the Battle Spirit Form Xiao Zhan now bore?

How had a mere Third Grade like him comprehend the Battle Spirit Form?

This was an attribute only Fourth Grades possessed!

While Huang Jun was still in a daze, Xiao Zhan’s figure flitted like a ghostly shadow, leaving behind a fading trail of mist, evading the cut.

And in the next instant, he appeared behind Huang Jun, where a powerful and exceedingly cold energy began to condense.

"Spirit Manipulation Technique, Other Shore Blossom!"

Xiao Zhan’s deep voice resonated, like a soul-reaping judge from Hell.

Huang Jun shuddered from the depths of his soul, and without the time to ponder how Xiao Zhan came to possess the Battle Spirit Form, he immediately activated the Spirit Manipulation Energy within him. His Breaking Army Blade gathered a massive amount of energy, and with a backhanded grip, he viciously chopped down towards Xiao Zhan.

His rich combat experience allowed him to execute the most effective offensive and defensive moves in an instant!

Boom!

The Demon Scythe and Breaking Army Blade collided, immediately causing a powerful surge of energy.

Centered around the two combatants, shockwaves swept out in all directions, destroying trees, pulverizing boulders, and the explosive aftermath flipped an area nearly a hundred meters in radius — even Huang Fei, who was observing from above, was not spared.

The helicopter’s instruments were damaged, spiraling downward out of control, as Huang Fei urgently leapt down from it.

Fortunately, it wasn’t too high up, otherwise Huang Fei himself might have been killed by the aftershocks of the battle.

"What kind of monster is this Xiao Zhan? Damn it, he’s actually mastered the Battle Spirit Form."

Huang Fei found a safe spot to land, gripping the Snow Lotus Sword tightly in his hand, his face twisted into a frown as he looked at the chaotic center of the battlefield.

In just a short year, Xiao Zhan had become so strong.

He had thought that the gap between him and Xiao Zhan wasn’t significant; it was just his bad luck that he hadn’t found a good Artifact Spirit, which was why Xiao Zhan had gotten ahead.

As long as he found an SSS-grade Artifact Spirit afterward, he would surpass Xiao Zhan.

But now, he finally realized the true gap between himself and Xiao Zhan.

It was not something that could be decided by an Artifact Spirit.

"Xiao Zhan, you really deserve to die."

Huang Fei gritted his teeth, his hand gripping the Snow Lotus Sword so tightly that it began to tremble.

In the arena.

This wave of confrontation once again made Huang Jun feel the abnormality of Xiao Zhan.

He felt an overwhelming energy rushing towards him, like a thousand-pound pendulum hammering into his body, causing a sweetness in his throat and trickling blood from the corner of his mouth.

At the same time, the grim and terrifying wound on his chest also gushed out blood under the massive shock, instantly staining his clothes with fresh blood.

Thump thump thump!

Huang Jun staggered back several steps before stabilizing his stance.

He hastily circulated his Spirit Manipulation Energy, guarding the wound on his chest to prevent more blood from flowing out.

However, to his horror, he discovered a black flame had appeared on his chest out of nowhere. The flame, like bone-piercing maggots, clung tenaciously to his flesh, devouring his Spirit Manipulation Energy and preventing his wounds from healing.

He could only keep using more Spirit Manipulation Energy to resist this eroding force.

Huang Jun frowned, and the look of disdain he had held for Xiao Zhan now condensed into an uncontrollable rage!

"Ye Wuming."

Huang Jun muttered under his breath, not lamenting over Xiao Zhan and Ye Youlong, but over Ye Wuming.

He had thought that there would no longer be anyone in this world who could surpass Ye Wuming, but unexpectedly, Ye Wuming’s daughter and son-in-law were even more outstanding!

Envy and jealousy arose in his heart. Looking at Xiao Zhan and Ye Youlong again, his eyes revealed a tinge of regret.

Such excellent individuals should have become the pillars of the Federation.

Sadly, as they were the opposition, it was destined that they would be eradicated.

The dust settled, and Huang Jun was ready to get serious. Xiao Zhan’s Battle Spirit Form had surprised him, but that was all.

Thinking of further advancement, or of using the Battle Spirit Form to turn the tide against the wind, was pure folly.

But just as he was about to make his move, he found that Xiao Zhan’s figure had vanished from in front of his eyes. On closer inspection, Xiao Zhan was on his left, exerting all his strength to escape!

Displaying the Battle Spirit Form, not to fight, but to flee.

Now that was damn clever.

Being flexible and maintaining clarity in the heat of bloodshed, seeing the situation for what it is.

Just this intellect alone was something Huang Fei couldn’t match even if he galloped at full speed.

"But where could you possibly run to?"

Huang Jun sneered, his feet moving as he chased after him, his speed surpassing Xiao Zhan by a whole level.

But Xiao Zhan wasn’t the least bit panicked, because he had never intended to rely on speed to escape. His only target was the cliff waterfall in front of him.

The waterfall wasn’t far from his position, and soon the echoing chaos of its falling waters reached Huang Jun’s ears.

A dead end ahead, Huang Jun immediately realized Xiao Zhan’s intention.

"Want to gamble on life and death? It won’t be that easy!"

Huang Jun’s body surged with energy, and on the blade, a cold light gathered at the edge.

"Spirit Manipulation Technique, Sword Light Flash!"

The next second, he propelled forward, shooting out like a beam of light, directly at Xiao Zhan!

Xiao Zhan only felt an incredibly fierce momentum assaulting him from behind, but he was utterly unable to pay it any mind because the cliff waterfall was right before his eyes.

He had to jump!

If he got distracted dealing with Huang Jun, he would be left behind instead.

His Spirit Manipulation Energy went into overdrive, Death Aura condensed into a mass on the Demon Scythe, ignited by the Flame attribute, instantly forming an explosive force, and his speed surged forward dramatically.
