The attacks from the Sun Moon team's side naturally did not pause for a single bit. As soul tool masters of level five and above, their cooperation was tacit. At the same time the first wave of light balls flew out, the second wave of a large number of various long-range soul tools also began to show their power. Many lights, light balls, and cannon shells that the members of Shrek Academy had never even seen before instantly rose into the sky, pouring down like a torrential rain.
But just at this time, Shrek Academy's second attack was also launched.
The first to make a move was Chen Zifeng, beside Dai Yueheng. From the time he had begun to follow Dai Yueheng and launch a charge, he had never released his martial soul until this moment. At the same time he made a move, his martial soul was then revealed.
A thick red light suddenly rose from Chen Zifeng's body. It was a pure blood-red color. The moment this red soul power appeared, the members of the Sun Moon team only felt that what was released from Chen Zifeng's body was the smell of a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood.
Chen Zifeng fiercely raised his head, his momentum instantly rising to its peak. His pupils also turned a blood-red color, his sharp killing intent having the might to slaughter everything.
He stretched out his right hand, pointing forward with his index and middle fingers. In an instant, a blood-red light shot out. The blood-red soul power released from his body, pulled by it, actually instantly merged into that blood-red light.
The slender sword only paused slightly in the air before, like a long, blood-red rainbow, it shot straight for Lin Xi at the very front of the Sun Moon team. Wherever it passed, the air was as if a bloody gash had been cut open. Before the sword arrived, a thick, bloody smell had already come.
Lin Xi did not dare to be negligent. An invincible protective shield instantly rose before him, barely blocking Chen Zifeng's one sword strike. However, the next moment, the spot where the sword's tip had touched the protective shield was already covered in cracks.
In terms of single-point attack power, Chen Zifeng was the best among the Shrek official team members. He had used practical actions to prove his formidable strength to everyone. To be able to become an official team member representing Shrek Academy, naturally, none of them were mediocre. Each had their own specialties.
Just at this time, an ice pillar suddenly rose from within the Shrek Academy queue, transforming into a solid bridge leading to the sky above the Sun Moon battle formation. As the ice bridge spread, a lightning-fast beautiful figure followed closely behind along this ice bridge. Xixi, like a cannonball fired from a cannon, crashed into the Sun Moon team's formation, instantly accelerating to an extremely terrifying degree.
Not only that, but after flying for ten meters, two bolts of lightning also instantly shot out from the soles of her feet, actually increasing her speed again. In just a flash, she had arrived before her opponent.
Without a doubt, in the current Shrek team, besides Dai Yueheng who was using the White Tiger Meteor Shower to intercept the soul tool firepower, only Xixi and Chen Zifeng dared to charge into the opponent's battle formation with their Soul King-level strength. And in a duel between a soul master and a soul tool master, distance was always the most important thing.
The spectators at this time were all watching with shining eyes. This was a fully erupting Shrek, a Shrek soul master whose ability far surpassed that of a soul tool master!
From the current situation, Shrek Academy had occupied the complete upper hand. Chen Zifeng had also, in almost just a flash, already arrived in front of Lin Xi. And the few people behind were also once again accelerating their charge, quickly approaching the Sun Moon team's side.
Below the stage, Xu Sanshi, Wang Dong, Xiao Xiao, and all the other preparatory team members had all clenched their fists. Although the tactics arranged by Wang Yan were of no damn use, how they hoped that the three main members could, with this one wave of outbreak, help the Shrek team establish a winning momentum!
However, the facts proved that there was definitely a reason why the Sun Moon team was listed as a favorite to win the championship.
Facing Chen Zifeng's sword move, Lin Xi at the very front made a jumping motion. Immediately after, at least three soul tools on his body simultaneously emitted a strong light.
First was a circle of a white halo released from his chest. This circle of white light was like a faint mist. When it appeared, a circle of white light also strangely appeared on the rapidly approaching Chen Zifeng. Chen Zifeng's so formidable a sword strike actually slightly changed its direction along with Lin Xi's jump. The feeling was as if Chen Zifeng had been pulled over by Lin Xi.
Then, two layers of golden light that the members of Shrek Academy were familiar with lit up on Lin Xi's body. The first was a layer of a normal invincible protective shield's golden light, which just happened to block Chen Zifeng's fatal sword strike. Immediately after, another, larger layer of golden light spread out from his body, actually enveloping both his and Chen Zifeng's bodies from the outside, instantly isolating the release of Chen Zifeng's fourth soul skill, the Fatal Sword Rain.
However, Lin Xi definitely did not feel good blocking Chen Zifeng. Although the defense of the invincible protective shield was strong, it also had to absorb a large amount of the user's soul power to be released, especially since he had successively released three soul tools that were at least level five. The consumption of his own soul power was also quite severe. His face was clearly a little pale.
The members of the Sun Moon team cooperated with extreme tacit understanding. Just as Lin Xi had leaped up, Mika, standing behind him, had also released a layer of a protective shield, causing the Xixi who had originally planned to take the opportunity to get close to miss.
And just at this time, a golden-red light shot out from behind Mika's left shoulder. This attack had been personally witnessed by an official member of the Shrek team before—a terrifying attack from a level-seven soul tool! And it was an attack concentrated at one point!
The appearance of this golden-red light was simply too timely. With Lin Xi leaping up to block Chen Zifeng, Xixi's offensive on this side had missed. The soundwave interference was blocked by Mika's soul tool shield, and the golden-red light had also appeared at this very instant, its target aimed straight at Yao Haoxuan. He, who was not a defense-type soul master, simply could not block it head-on.
It wasn't just this golden-red light that had appeared. Dozens of rays of light suddenly shot up from behind Mika. These lights were all a blue-purple color, exceptionally gorgeous. After the lights shot up into the sky, they instantly transformed into a parabola and flew towards the Shrek Academy side.
Just at this time, Ling Luochen, who had been controlling the situation in the rear, made a move. Another ice wall blocked in front of Gongyang Mo and Qi Zhu in the rear. She herself flew quickly and condensed an ice pillar on the ground, sending the Yao Haoxuan in front of her flying up. Then, the terrifying golden-red light came before her.
But as long as it was light, it could be refracted by an ice surface. The huge ice pillar blocking in front of Ling Luochen instantly dispersed much of Mika's attack. But she was not completely spared either. After being weakened by the refraction, a portion of the light still unavoidably shot onto Ling Luochen's body, piercing several holes in her shoulder and waist.
"Luochen!" Chen Zifeng's eyes immediately turned red. Among the official team members, the cold and proud Ling Luochen had always been the object of his affection. On the night of the auction, he had also really wanted to bid for that Ice Jade Scorpion left arm bone for Ling Luochen, but his financial situation was not much better than anyone else's.
In the original novel, to be able to block this one strike from Ma Rulong had still relied on Huo Gua's cheating from outside the field, which was also Shrek's fine tradition. And now, these official members of Shrek could only rely on themselves to face the powerful lethality of the Sun Moon team's soul tools.
At this time, the blue-purple light in the sky had instantly fallen. On Shrek Academy's side, Ling Luochen gritted her teeth and displayed a huge ice shield, which hung horizontally in mid-air. Not only that, but countless rays of light met the blue-purple light. In the air, it was as if a series of brilliant fireworks had exploded. It was the soul tool master, Qi Zhu, who had made a move.
However, the blue-purple light was much more difficult to deal with than they had imagined. After being hit by Qi Zhu's soul tool rays, these blue-purple lights actually just stagnated in the air. Immediately after, one after another of lights rapidly spread out, actually like a huge blue-purple cage, enveloping them from below.
It was a huge blue-purple protective shield, which forcefully trapped the three from the Shrek team: Gongyang Mo, Qi Zhu, and Dai Yueheng, who was responsible for intercepting the firepower. Even Gongyang Mo's amplification for Chen Zifeng and Xixi in front was forcibly interrupted.
In the air, Lin Xi, who had blocked Chen Zifeng, had already landed on the ground with him. The three-second time of the invincible protective shield was about to end. To be in close contact with a Soul King from Shrek Academy was definitely not a good thing, at least it was definitely not what the Sun Moon team wanted to see.
Chen Zifeng, who was completely enraged because of Ling Luochen's injury, struck out with his sword in anger. Lin Xi's heart was originally still a little smug. In his view, he had blocked the one with the strongest attack power on the opposing team for his team, buying enough time for his partners. This could definitely be described as a great contribution.
But at the moment the invincible protective shield was about to disappear, a blood-red longsword directly swiped across his neck.
"Stop!"
The protective shield shattered. The moment before, Lin Xi, whose face still showed a smile, the next moment his head and body were in different places. Even on the head that was soaring into the air, it seemed his somewhat smug smile still remained.
"Lin Xi—"
Only at this moment did the members of the Sun Moon team react. They couldn't help but cry out in surprise. They had never expected that in such a short period of time, they would actually lose one person, and it was the direct passing of a life. Even the Heaven-Shaking Douluo hadn't had time to rescue him.
Because all of this had happened too suddenly. No one had expected that Chen Zifeng would swing out that one sword without any reservation.
After a brief loss of composure, Chen Zifeng's face was also a little unnatural. This was, after all, just a competition. To kill someone in a competition was definitely not what he wanted. But when the woman he cared about most was injured in the competition, he also couldn't help but erupt.
Below the stage, Huo Yuhao looked at this scene with a blank expression. He was just short of applauding Shrek. As expected of Shrek Academy's fine tradition. The students of other academies have only lost their lives. But their students have been traumatized!
Even though he was in the Sun Moon camp, he would not rashly intervene to save Lin Xi in time. After all, this was a competition. Lin Xi's death highlighted the noble character of Shrek and also let more people re-acquaint themselves with Shrek.
"Bastard," a figure from the Sun Moon team flashed out like lightning. It was precisely their team's Chen Fei, an agility-type soul tool master. Martial soul: Flash Bird.
