Chapter Eighty-Seven: Self-Created Soul Technique, Gale Thunder Slash

  As Helian's voice fell, the massive Blood Refining Tower instantly fell silent. The thousands of spectators in the stands stopped their clamor and cast their gazes uniformly towards the center of the arena.

  A young man, a long knife, a blood-red long gown, He Lianuo is going to rely on his own strength to challenge the hundred good men of Gui Lianyu!! Though there are thousands of people, I will go forth!

  "Indeed, this arrogant kid really can do anything, previously challenging Ling Xiang was already crazy enough, now he actually wants to save the Blood Refining Hell with his own strength. Although his bravery is commendable, but in a battle where the power is completely unmatched, what chance of winning does he have?

  Ling Yun, who stayed behind in the Blood Refining Hell, leaned against the iron railing and muttered to himself. To be honest, these days he had been deliberately avoiding Sang Xiao and others, just to avoid some embarrassment. After all, on that day at the City Master's mansion, he had also persuaded Ling Xiang to kill Sang Xiao, but after coming to the Blood Refining Hell, He Lianuo and others not only did not take revenge on him, but instead treated him with kindness, often taking care of him. In this way, even if Ling Yun was as heartless as iron and stone, he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed."

  On the arena, the people of Gui Lian Yu exchanged a look with each other. Before long, a tall and burly scar-faced man emerged from the crowd, slowly walking up to Helian No's front. He sized Helian No up and down several times before speaking: "Youngster, I still remember your performance during the piglet fight. Yes, you're very strong. Perhaps in our entire Gui Lian Yu, we can't find anyone stronger than you. But even so, do you dare to be arrogant and think that relying solely on your own strength is enough to resist our entire Gui Lian Yu?"

  He Lianuo lightly rotated the saber in his hand, which was still dripping with fresh blood, and said in a hoarse voice: "Whether it can be done or not, it must be tried!" As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly threw out the big knife in his hand without warning. The scar-faced big man was caught off guard and was actually pierced through by the big knife!

  After a successful strike, He Lianuo didn't stop his pace and quickly rushed forward. With one swift motion, he pulled out the large knife that was stuck in the scar-faced man's chest. The man's body hadn't fully fallen yet, but as soon as the knife was pulled out, a blood arrow shot out, dyeing He Lianuo's crimson long robe an even more mournful color!

  "Not good, stop him quickly!", seeing Helian Nuo rushing over with a ferocious expression, the severely injured Shaozu ordered his subordinates to intercept him. At this moment, he had almost no power to resist, and if he let his opponent get close, there would be only one dead end!

  Can't help but say that the tribal leader still has some prestige in the Ghost Refining Hell, after hearing his loud call, dozens of big men rushed to block him without hesitation, and strictly protected him. The tribal leader wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and was about to celebrate when he suddenly found that He Lianuo had stopped running. Just as the people of the Ghost Refining Hell were hesitating whether to launch a surprise attack, He Lianuo suddenly crouched down, punched the ground fiercely, and then used the force to jump high into the air, falling towards the center of the Ghost Refining Hell's battle circle!

  Tian Shang Fist! To break through the defense of Gui Lian Yu, He Lianuo actually used the ancient martial art Tian Shang Fist. This time, however, he didn't strike his enemy but instead struck the ground. Using the massive counterforce generated by the collision between Tian Shang Fist and the ground, He Lianuo leaped high into the air, swinging his Zhan Ma Dao as he rapidly descended towards the center of Gui Lian Yu's battle circle!

  When he was still more than two meters above the ground, Helian Nuo raised the horse-cutting knife in his hand to the top of his head, and with a sudden burst of force at his waist, his whole body suddenly began to spin rapidly, and the speed of rotation became faster and faster. In the blink of an eye, a silver whirlwind was formed!

  "This is... not good! This kid can also use that terrifying group attack soul technique, everyone quickly disperse! The tribal leader looked at Helian's posture and felt a sense of familiarity in his heart. It wasn't until the silver whirlwind formed that he suddenly remembered, although the movements used were different, but looking at the way the silver whirlwind was formed, isn't this the same as the Crazy Thunder Whirl Slash used by that boy from the Blood Purgatory?"

  Yes, the technique used by Helianuo is indeed Lei Xiao's people-stage soul technique, Crazy Thunder Whirlwind Slash! In fact, since the battle of Langyue City, Helianuo had asked Lei Xiao to teach him this extremely powerful group attack soul technique. Lei Xiao readily agreed and taught him the method and key points of Crazy Thunder Whirlwind Slash without hesitation. Originally, it would take a long time to fully master any soul technique, but Helianuo quickly grasped the essence of Crazy Thunder Whirlwind Slash. The reason for this is likely due to the extremely pure Xuanlei power flowing within his body, which is much more refined than the average soul user's Lei power. With this Xuanlei power, Helianuo was able to learn Crazy Thunder Whirlwind Slash with remarkable speed and effectiveness. Under Gong Sunjian's guidance, Helianuo made some adjustments to the technique, and now that he has mastered it, its power is even more terrifying than when Lei Xiao himself uses it!

  As Helianthus plummeted, everyone in the Blood Refining Tower was astonished to discover that the silver-white whirlwind suddenly had some purple lightning flashing like a spirit snake. In just an instant, the whirlwind slashed by Zhan Ma Dao had entirely turned purple! Helianthus lowered his head and saw the pale eyes of the Ghost Refining Hell crowd, his mouth corners involuntarily curling up slightly. He abruptly held Zhan Ma Dao horizontally in front of his chest, then loudly shouted: "You trash from Ghost Refining Hell, today I'll let you all truly become ghosts! You can witness my latest modified soul technique, and your deaths won't be unjust! Gale Thunder Slash!"

  With a loud crash, Helian's roar accompanied by the purple whirlwind heavily landed on the ground, and the nearby Ghost Refining Sect's big men didn't even have time to escape. A strong numbness suddenly attacked their bodies, and then the purple whirlwind swept over, instantly turning them into powder!

  As the purple whirlwind rolled towards him, the Shaozu leader closed his eyes in despair, knowing it was almost impossible to dodge the lightning-fast storm with his current condition. However, after waiting for a long time, apart from the incessant wails of agony, the Shaozu leader seemed not to feel any pain. He opened his eyes in astonishment, only to see that the purple whirlwind had inexplicably bypassed him and was heading towards others. Although he didn't know what the reason was, he had narrowly escaped disaster after all. The Shaozu leader patted his chest with a lost expression, no longer caring about the lives or deaths of the other people in the Ghost Refining Hell.

  Khaleno's new soul technique, "Dì Fēng Luò Léi Zhǎn", lasted for half a cup of tea before it finally stopped, exhausting all his strength. He leaned on the blood-stained horse-slaying knife, kneeling halfway to the ground and panting heavily. On the empty space where the Ghost Refining Hell people were standing earlier, except for the few remaining tribe leaders who were still alive, not a single intact corpse could be found!

  Luotian, who was being carried to the back by his subordinates for protection, widened his eyes and shook his head. He looked at Leishen, who had a similarly shocked expression, and curiously asked: "Big guy, are you thinking that since Helian's soul technique is almost entirely based on your Crazy Thunder Whirlwind Slash with some minor changes, why does it have much greater power?"

  Lei Shuo nodded slightly and replied honestly, "Indeed, I have this question in my mind. He Lian's Dì Fēng Luò Léi Zhǎn and my Kuáng Léi Xuàn Fēng Zhǎn are almost identical when executed, even if He Lian's power is higher than mine by a bit. However, the way he executes this soul technique is really too frightening."

  Luo Tian patted Lei Shuo's shoulder and comforted him, "Big guy, don't be discouraged. The reason He Lian can exert several times more power than you with almost the same soul technique is not because his cultivation is much higher than yours, but because the nature of the soul power you two use is different. From what I see, when you use the Crazy Thunder Whirlwind Slash, most of the soul power you use is wind, right?"

  "Yes, actually the largest amount of soul power in my body is earth-based, followed by wind. However, most low-level earth-based soul techniques are defensive, and when I was learning, I only liked to attack, so I begged Master to teach me this Crazy Thunder Whirlwind Slash. Master once said that because the wind-based soul power in my body far exceeds other systems except for earth, if I were to use this Crazy Thunder Whirlwind Slash, I must emphasize one word: fast! Only by maximizing the speed advantage of the wind system can I bring out the full power of this technique!" Lei Shuo recalled honestly.

  Luo Tian looked at He Lian, who was slowly struggling to get up, and found that he didn't have any major problems before continuing: "Not bad, your master said it right, using a suitable method to exert one's soul technique can maximize its power. You use wind-type soul power, so you emphasize speed, whereas He Lian uses lightning-type soul power... I don't know why, but although his cultivation is only at the Soul Servant level, the amount of soul power in his body is astonishingly large, and the lightning-type soul power he uses is extremely pure. You might know that the advantages of lightning-type soul power lie in its incredibly strong attacking power, explosive force over short distances, and intense paralyzing effect... He Lian has incorporated these three characteristics into his new soul technique. You should have already noticed that the speed at which his purple whirlwind rotates is much faster than your silver whirlwind, and anyone who gets hit by his soul technique becomes charcoal!"

  Lei Shuo turned his head to look, and indeed, the clothes on the bodies of the ghostly cultivators who had fallen to the ground had all disappeared without a trace. Each corpse looked as if it had been scorched by flames, turning pitch black!

  In comparison to the harm he had caused, Lei Xiao was shocked to see He Lian Nu standing up with the help of his sword, limping and walking towards the back of the Ghost Refining Hell. There, several men who had been lucky enough to survive by hiding at the back of the group were cowering together, their faces pale as they watched He Lian Nu approach them like a god of death.
