It definitely wasn't a difference in combat experience.
Even if his combat experience was lacking, it couldn't be by much.
Although he had little experience in life-or-death battles, with the few times being assassinations from the Spirit Hall, his experience in combat techniques was definitely not lacking. He had spent a lot of time in the Heaven Dou Great Spirit Arena, fighting against too many Soul Masters, even suppressing his strength just to increase his combat experience.
Although combat technique experience wasn't as testing to one's mentality as life-or-death battle experience, it was no less effective in increasing one's actual combat experience, and might even be better.
So his combat experience definitely wasn't too far behind these three, and it shouldn't have turned out like this.
Increasingly confused, Xu Yang couldn't figure out the reason.
Unable to figure it out, he could only continue fighting the Evil Soul Master trio.
The blade light and scythe shadows constantly collided. The golden light rain released by Xu Yang's Sun Spirit in the air was easily blocked by the three-layered shield formed by the trio's combined efforts. The golden light rain could only break through two layers of the shield at most, and before it could break through the third layer, it would be repaired by the trio.
Thus, Xu Yang could only rely on his close combat ability to fight the three.
Compared to Xu Yang's exquisite and simple swordsmanship, the trio's scythe techniques could be said to be without any order, but even simpler, each move directly aimed at Xu Yang's vitals, without the slightest hesitation.
Xu Yang became more and more passive as he fought, already changing from the previous offense to full defense.
Clang!
A metallic explosion sounded, and the Sun Sacred Blades in Xu Yang's hands were restrained by the second and third brothers with their blood scythes.
Xu Yang's pupils shrank, and he secretly thought, "Not good!"
"Haha, I finally caught an opportunity!"
Seeing this, the eldest brother was overjoyed, the bloodthirsty light in his eyes greatly increased, with a sneer on his face, he raised the blood scythe high in his hand, the fifth Soul Ring lit up, and the blood-colored Soul Power turned into a blood-colored light, condensing on the tip of the blood scythe, and swung it down towards Xu Yang's chest.
"Fifth Soul Skill · Blood God Slash!"
"Pfft!"
The hard Sacred Armor was directly torn apart, and a splash of bright red blood splattered out, dripping on the faces of the three Evil Soul Masters.
"Ah!"
Xu Yang called out in pain.
"Xu Yang!"
Dugu Yan below called out worriedly, the Wind Chime Wings behind her unfolded, holding a Soul Tool Handgun in her hand, rushing towards Xu Yang, at the same time, the third Soul Skill under her feet lit up, and emerald green Soul Power gathered in her mouth, spitting out gray-green rays of highly toxic poison, cooperating with the handgun bullets, directly attacking the Evil Soul Master trio.
Unfortunately, it wasn't of much use. The three-layered protective shield around the trio couldn't even be penetrated by the light rain formed by Xu Yang's fourth Soul Skill, Sun God Light, let alone the poisonous Soul Skill with little attack power!
And the Soul Tool Handgun was, after all, only a Third Level Soul Tool, even if it was a Fixed pretend Soul Tool, it only had the lethality of a Soul Sect. The reason why Xu Yang and Dugu Yan were able to kill many Soul Sects in the Star Dou Great Forest with the Soul Tool Handgun was entirely because those Soul Sects were agility-based Soul Masters and didn't understand the Soul Tool Handgun.
In the carriage in the distance, Dugu Bo's Soul Power had already gathered at the bottom of his feet, ready to rescue at any time.
And Xu Yang, who was cut by a blade in the air, almost injuring his internal organs, didn't have the slightest fear in his eyes. Instead, the pain stimulated his ferocity. At this moment, his whole body had a feeling of heat, feeling that his whole body was full of power. Looking at the three Evil Soul Masters in front of him, a hint of bloodthirsty color flashed in his eyes.
Clang!
The blue veins on his hands bulged, and he directly pulled back the two Sun Sacred Blades. The golden wings behind him began to flap, and the whole person turned into a stream of light, advancing instead of retreating. The Sun Soul Power condensed to the extreme at the tip of the blade, and he slashed down at the protective shield supported by the trio's combined efforts.
Xu Yang didn't lose his rationality because of this, but became more and more calm. There was only one thought in his mind, to kill these three guys. The other usage of the fourth Soul Skill, which was hidden as a trump card, was also used at this moment.
"Fourth Soul Skill: Sun God Light!"
On the seven Sun Spirits, the brilliant scarlet-gold flames suddenly contracted. The Sun Spirits, which had been emitting golden light, now appeared slightly dim. After the Soul Power was condensed to its limit, seven profound rays of light burst out, fiercely bombarding the weakest third brother.
"Crack!"
The three layers of protective shields that had previously withstood the attacks were instantly pierced. The third brother, with the weakest cultivation of only forty-sixth level, didn't even have time to react before seven holes appeared in his body.
The third brother looked down at the holes in his body, his face filled with disbelief. The seven rays of Sun God Light had pierced through his body. His Soul Power had not provided the slightest resistance, directly piercing through him.
Not only that, the Sun God Light also possessed the high temperature of Ultimate Fire and the purification of Ultimate Light. The moment it pierced through his body, it not only burned away most of his internal organs but also purified the Soul Power he had cultivated for so long.
After a reluctant glance, the third brother closed his eyes and began to fall from the sky.
After killing the third brother, the golden flames on the seven Suns in the air once again condensed and charged, preparing to unleash the Sun God Light again.
"Third brother!" The Evil Soul Master boss watched his third brother fall from the sky in grief, then turned to look at Xu Yang. Immense killing intent pressed directly towards Xu Yang as he shouted in anger, "You're courting death!"
"I want you to die!"
"Fourth Soul Skill: Blood Qi Eruption!"
The second brother roared, his Soul Rings lit up, and blood-colored light gathered on the Blood Scythe, tearing through the air as he unleashed a ten-meter-long blood-colored slash at Xu Yang. The slash was extremely fast, reaching Xu Yang in the blink of an eye.
"You're the ones who deserve to die!"
Xu Yang's eyes blazed with fighting spirit and killing intent. The Soul Power around him converged into the Sun Sacred Blades in his hands, and he violently tore the blood-colored slash into pieces.
"That's more like it! How can a Soul Master not get injured!" Gu Rong laughed heartily inside the carriage.
"Bone Elder, the young master was in this state before when he was assassinated by the Spirit Hall. It seems like it was also after he was injured. In that battle, he killed eight Soul Sects who wanted to assassinate him. I think he should be able to kill those two Fallen this time!" Ning Haiyan said with a smile, as if recalling something.
"It seems this stinky brat won't fight unless he's injured!" Dugu Bo also had a smile on his lips.
"Clang!"
Xu Yang, who had just torn apart the blood-colored slash, suddenly turned around and blocked the suddenly appearing Blood Scythe with a sweep of his Tang Blade. At the same time, he swept out with force with his other hand, and a devastating Blade Qi shot out, blasting the incoming second brother away.
"What's going on with this kid?! How can his combat power skyrocket after taking a knife and suffering such serious injuries, becoming so ridiculously strong!" The boss, who was besieging Xu Yang with the second brother, was filled with doubt and fear, and had the idea of running away.
As Evil Soul Masters, the three brothers had feelings for each other, but not much. He wouldn't risk his life to avenge the third brother.
