Chen Fei, in high-speed movement, a brilliant golden light ball accurately shot straight for Chen Zifeng in front. His figure was incomparably fast, actually leaving afterimages behind him.
Chen Zifeng snorted coldly. His personality was similar to Ma Xiaotao's. Although killing was not his wish, if it had to be counted on his head, she was also definitely not afraid of trouble. A red light flashed in his eyes, and the Soul-Chasing Sword in his hand was already thrusting out diagonally, colliding with the golden light in the air.
What was strange was that this time, there was no violent explosion. The ball of golden light, after being touched, instantly became larger, transforming into a large golden net that came to cover Chen Zifeng.
And at this time, a strong black light suddenly lit up on Ma Rulong's head. A huge helmet appeared on top of his head. After releasing his martial soul, his head was clearly much larger than before. This was the effect of his own martial soul, the Great Head Spirit Ape. A full soul power amplification soul ring. This martial soul of his had one advantage, which was that it made Ma Rulong's own spiritual power twice as strong as a soul master of the same cultivation. Although he was not a spiritual-type soul master like Huo Yuhao, the help it gave him in controlling and using soul tools was great.
This black helmet, in the very center of the forehead, had a round ruby. At this time, the ruby instantly lit up with a demonic light. Immediately after, a dark-red light and shadow shot out from the position of the ruby, heading straight for Chen Zifeng.
It was impressively a monkey, its height only about one and a half meters. Its two arms were strangely long, hanging down to the ground. Its dark-red fur actually gave a crystal-clear feeling. But its eyes were golden, sparkling with a strange golden color.
Just as Chen Zifeng had broken through Chen Fei's attack with one sword, the dark-red monkey released by Ma Rulong had also arrived before him. Only a "zhi zhi" sound was heard from the monkey. Its originally small body fiercely expanded, actually transforming into a giant ape over four meters tall in the blink of an eye. A pair of huge fists smashed down on Chen Zifeng's head. The dark-red fur on its body completely stood on end, like a layer of steel needles.
The battle on their side was proceeding fiercely. On the other side, Xixi was also facing the siege of the members of the Sun Moon team.
Ling Luochen did her utmost, releasing one after another of ice walls in front of Xixi through her ice staff. At the same time, an Ice Shine Ring enveloped Ma Rulong.
However, an ordinary ice element wall simply could not block the group bombardment of those level-five soul tools. One after another, the ice walls were instantly shattered.
Dai Yueheng's face was grave. As a Soul Emperor, he and two Soul Kings were trapped. At this time, no matter how much he wanted to rush up to rescue them, it was of no use. He fiercely took a deep breath. A scorching white light suddenly shone. He raised his own Soul Emperor-level soul power to its strongest. No matter what, he had to break this tricky Thunder Prison as soon as possible.
The one who launched the attack on Chen Zifeng was naturally not just the monkey. Thirty-six lightning balls had already chased over when Chen Zifeng was retreating before, respectively falling towards Chen Zifeng and Xixi. That was the attack launched by Mika of the Sun Moon team.
The Flash Bird Soul King, Chen Fei, followed the giant, dark-red demon ape and rushed over. In the air, one after another of golden light balls like the previous ones were continuously thrown from his hands, closely following behind the lightning beads, sealing off all the directions Chen Zifeng could dodge.
And these were not the biggest threat to the Shrek members outside the shield. The one with the most obvious threat to them was still the captain of the Sun Moon team, Ma Rulong.
The golden cannon barrel was once again shouldered. Ma Rulong's emotions seemed not to have been affected by the death of his companion. His hand was still very steady. His cold gaze was fixed on Chen Zifeng and Xixi. Just his aiming alone was enough to make Chen Zifeng and Xixi have to be half-distracted.
Xiao Xiafeng quickly came to Ma Rulong's side and stuffed a ball of soul power amplifying steamed bun into his mouth. Ma Rulong immediately chewed it up without any hesitation.
Xiao Xiafeng himself also had a steamed bun in his mouth. A large number of metallic clangs sounded from his body. Ninety-nine eighty-one metal cannon barrels appeared one after another. Under him was a circular base, which instantly turned to lock onto Xixi's side. It was impressively the soul tool turret battle formation.
The Xiao Hongchen siblings were not doing nothing. The two of them propped up the previous soundwave shield, firmly isolating Yao Haoxuan's soundwave control. At the same time, they also guarded against Ling Luochen's ice cone attack.
In this life, without Xu Sanshi displacing Xiao Hongchen into the Shrek encirclement, Xiao Hongchen naturally had to obey Jing Hongchen's orders and hide his own abilities as much as possible.
By the time Xixi had dodged to Chen Zifeng's side, she was already close to the corner. At this time, she was also completely suppressed by the joint attack of the opponent's four members plus one soul beast. Dodging was impossible. The opponent's tactics were very obvious. It was to first dismantle the two great combat powers of their Shrek team besides the Soul Emperor, and then jointly target the strongest, Dai Yueheng, in the Thunder Prison.
Chen Zifeng and Xixi at this time, however, made a choice that was extremely unexpected to everyone. These two Soul Kings of the Shrek team, under the situation of being focused fired upon by the opponent, did not choose to defend, but chose to attack.
They simultaneously used their strongest fifth soul skill. Among the official team members, the two of them were able to jointly display a martial soul combination skill, named Thunder Half-Moon Slash.
All of Xixi's soul power was poured into the lightning power attached to Chen Zifeng's Soul-Chasing Sword, transforming it into a longsword shining with a dazzling lightning light, which horizontally slashed towards the four from the Sun Moon team who were just preparing to use their soul tool turret battle formation.
When the lightning greatsword first slashed at the lightning beads released by Mika, the lightning beads strangely disappeared. When it struck the metal balls sent out by Chen Fei, the metal balls also melted with it. These two soul tools were actually disabled before they could even release their original power.
The power of the lightning greatsword was simply too terrifying. It was Chen Fei who was hit first. Chen Fei, who had just launched his attack, with the bloodthirsty demon ape in front of him, had simply not expected that Chen Zifeng and Xixi would use a combination skill to launch such a large-area attack. His body instantly flashed, wanting to dodge the attack that covered half the field.
In his view, although the volume of this lightning greatsword was large, its speed was not fast. With the speed of his Flash Bird martial soul, it was simply not something this slash could threaten.
Unfortunately, his judgment was wrong. The attack speed of the Thunder Half-Moon Slash was not fast. But, just at the moment Chen Fei dodged, the dazzling lightning light suddenly expanded outwards fiercely.
This sudden expansion was simply too fast, so fast that it was difficult to distinguish with the naked eye. In just this instant of expansion, Chen Fei's body was enveloped within.
Chen Fei originally had an invincible protective shield on him, but the invincible protective shield was a one-time-use soul tool, and its price was exorbitant. Under the mentality of saving what could be saved, and since he thought he could dodge it, he naturally did not release it. When he felt that something was wrong, he no longer had the chance to release it.
Seeing this, Ma Rulong hurriedly shouted, "Referee!"
The Heaven-Shaking Douluo had been paying attention to this side all along. Unfortunately, the Heaven-Shaking Douluo also thought that the Flash Bird Soul King, Chen Fei, could easily avoid this one strike and had been watching from the sidelines with his arms crossed. When he heard the voice and wanted to make a move, everything was already too late.
A loud thunderous roar sounded. Chen Fei's rapidly flashing body was only slightly grazed by the expanding, dazzling lightning light, and then the slash had already instantly accelerated and rushed towards Mika and Xiao Xiafeng in the rear.
Chen Fei's body was still rushing forward in the air, but half of his body was already gone. His corpse fell, and was caught in the arms of the late Heaven-Shaking Douluo.
Seeing Chen Fei's miserable state, how could Mika still dare to hold back? The invincible protective shield was immediately brought out, trying to block the attack of the lightning greatsword. However, the sword light once again turned and slashed towards Xiao Xiafeng.
Xiao Xiafeng, who had just buried his head in assembling the soul tool turret, how could he have thought that this slash would ultimately slash at him? He, who had been surprise-attacked by Xixi before, had long since used up his invincible protective shield. Just as the Heaven-Shaking Douluo was dejectedly holding Chen Fei's corpse, Xiao Xiafeng also followed in Chen Fei's footsteps.
Although at this time Ma Rulong's eyes had already turned a sheet of red from anger and hatred, he still had to release his own invincible protective shield before. Heaven knows if that lightning greatsword would slash at him. He simply had no other choice. Although he was also a Soul Emperor, he knew very well that among all his soul tool equipment, besides the invincible protective shield, there was probably no other defense that could block this one strike from Chen Zifeng and Xixi, who had fought with all their might.
"Boom—" The sword light landed on the ground. A dazzling lightning explosion suddenly burst out in the air. A ball of a bright purple mushroom cloud rose up on the surface of the competition stage.
Mika, who had originally thought he had wasted his invincible protective shield when the lightning greatsword had turned, at this time his heart was only filled with relief. Because even the aftershocks of the lightning explosion had turned the ground of the competition stage into a sheet of ruins!
Regarding Dai Yueheng, the Sun Moon team had already given a very high estimate. Otherwise, they wouldn't have arranged the Thunder Prison to trap him. But they had not expected that the explosive power displayed by Chen Zifeng and Xixi would still be almost unbearable for them.
Lin Xi had died in battle, Chen Fei had died in battle, Xiao Xiafeng had died in battle, and the invincible protective shields of Ma Rulong and Mika were shattered. Even as students of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineering Academy, the invincible protective shield each of them was equipped with was only one. The price of this thing was simply too high. And although Chen Zifeng and Xixi, whose soul power was exhausted, had also jumped off the competition stage, which meant they could no longer continue to participate in the team battle, at least the two of them were not injured!
Chen Zifeng and the other, who had fallen off the stage, simply did not have the strength to look at the result on the stage. Xu Sanshi and Jiang Nannan each ran over and picked one up, returning to the waiting area at the fastest speed, and took out a milk bottle to help them recover their soul power. There was still an individual knockout match that needed them to make a move.
If one were to use one word to describe this team battle, then "tragic" would be the most appropriate.
Compared to the original novel, this time the Sun Moon team had even lost one more, Xiao Xiafeng.
In this year's Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Soul Dueling Tournament, casualties had only appeared in the initial knockout tournament. And in the subsequent matches, there were heavily injured people, but under the attention of the referees, there had never been another case of death. And in today's final, under the situation of having a Titled Douluo as a referee, the Sun Moon team still had three people who had died in battle. Lin Xi could still be said to be an accident, but for Chen Fei and Xiao Xiafeng, it was indeed that the Heaven-Shaking Douluo had not had time to rescue them! It could be seen how intense this match was, and to what extent the attack power of both sides was formidable.
Now on the field, only four people were left on the Sun Moon team: Captain Ma Rulong and Mika, as well as the two Xiao Hongchen siblings. On the Shrek side, however, there were still five great combat powers. Although Dai Yueheng, Gongyang Mo, and Qi Zhu were trapped in the Thunder Prison, the three of them were all in a complete state. It was only a matter of time before they broke out of their predicament.
The pressure was instantly on Ling Luochen and Yao Haoxuan. The two of them were both the main control soul masters of the Shrek team. Although Ling Luochen was seriously injured, she could still hold on for a while.
And just at this time, Xiao Hongchen released his own martial soul. At a critical moment, this proud youth displayed the corresponding strength for why he had such a high status in the Sun Moon team.
A golden light flashed. From behind him, from the position of his tailbone, another leg actually drilled out. This leg was completely golden. At the same time, a layer of a dazzling golden color also covered his entire body.
The three-legged Xiao Hongchen's body slightly squatted. Two yellow, two purple, one black—five soul rings shone. On his slightly arched back, one after another of golden protrusions arched out from under his clothes, emitting a soft golden halo. His first and third soul rings lit up at the same time, and then his two hands waved, and at least a hundred metal balls were scattered by him. These metal balls actually instantly floated in mid-air, completely enveloping his entire person within.
A strange scene was staged in the next instant. With those metal balls as the core, one after another of thick metal cannon barrels actually grew out, completely from nothing and not released by Xiao Hongchen. In just a breath's time, his entire person had turned into an existence like a large hedgehog.
"I... damn..." Yao Haoxuan, who usually spoke a lot of dirty words, couldn't help but curse out the thoughts of all the members of the Shrek team.
He Caitou and Qi Zhu, who were most familiar with soul tools, felt that this fellow had brought out so many metal cannon barrels. Could he release them with his own soul power? Logically speaking, it wasn't that the more soul tool cannons, the better. First, one's own cultivation had to be able to use these soul tool cannons! Otherwise, if they couldn't be used, they could only be a decoration.
Xiao Hongchen used facts to prove to everyone that these soul tool cannons of his were not just decorations. His second and fourth soul rings took the place of the brilliance of his first and third soul rings. It could be clearly seen that countless golden light spots suddenly appeared in the air, crazily rushing towards Xiao Hongchen's direction like a hundred rivers flowing into the sea.
Every light spot, when approaching his body, actually spread out a circle of a faint golden halo, as if it had been ignited. A thick metallic aura instantly boiled. Accompanied by the integration of these golden light spots, one after another of the metal cannon barrels all began to emit a dazzling brilliance. The terrifying aura made the members of the Shrek team can't help but have their faces change in horror.
The number of soul tool cannons that appeared on Xiao Hongchen's body was one hundred and twenty-eight, and all were composed of level-five soul tools. With a clanging sound, all the cannon barrels actually automatically calibrated, all pointing at Yao Haoxuan and Ling Luochen. Those soul tool cannons behind Xiao Hongchen actually bent on their own and turned to the front. This could no longer be described as soul tool control.
