Hearing Her Highness the Princess's shout, everyone was stunned, including Dai Yueheng on the field.
What's the situation?
Her Highness the Princess is actually publicly cheering for a contestant?
For a time, including Cui Yejie and the other girls, their heads couldn't turn the corner. His Majesty the Emperor's eyeballs even widened. My own sister, why is she cheering for the Sun Moon team in front of everyone?
Dai Yueheng only felt as if something important in his heart had shattered. The gaze he looked at Xie Huanyue with became even more unfriendly.
Xie Huanyue was baffled. However, he clutched his injured abdomen. There was a wound there that was deep enough to see the bone, and it was slowly dripping with blood.
No matter what, he had to win this match. Not just for his companions, but also for Yuhao's judgment.
That day, when he had heard Huo Yuhao's grand plan, his entire person had been dumbfounded. But he knew that Huo Yuhao was serious. He needed a group of sufficiently strong companions to complete that plan with him.
If he couldn't even take down a mere evil soul master Soul Emperor before him, then how could he be worthy of Huo Yuhao's cultivation and trust?
To be brothers, it's in the heart. Huo Yuhao never said how arduous the mission he bore was. He was always running out silently by himself, and then coming back to his companions with a cheeky smile, bringing back a pile of good things, helping everyone become stronger.
Was Huo Yuhao using them? Xie Huanyue had never thought about this question. Huo Yuhao clearly possessed such formidable spiritual power. He could have completely controlled their minds and turned them into his thugs. But Huo Yuhao had just happened not to do so.
Xie Huanyue only knew that Huo Yuhao treated him as his own brother, his own flesh and blood. When there were good things, he would call him. In places where he and his other companions couldn't see, Huo Yuhao would single-handedly shoulder the most dangerous roles, just to fight for more benefits for his partners.
The list for the individual matches, besides the Sun Moon team strongly requesting that their people go up first to ensure the win rate, for him to be ranked first was Huo Yuhao's arrangement. It also meant that among all his companions, Huo Yuhao was most at ease with him.
So, whether it was the princess's shout, or the expectant gazes of Cui Yejie and the others, or Huo Yuhao's trust, all would be the support for Xie Huanyue to endure the pain and get up.
Xie Huanyue stood up again, his two eyes like torches as he looked straight at the Dark White Tiger Evil Soul Emperor before him. He was now only just level fifty-one. Compared to the Dai Yueheng who had broken through to level sixty-nine after his mutation, he was almost twenty levels behind. He did not have as many means of fighting enemies as Huo Yuhao. All his strength came from the specialty of his martial soul and the abundant soul power of possessing five ten-thousand-year soul rings himself.
"You can still stand up? But, you're also about at your limit, right?" Dai Yueheng couldn't help but tremble all over. That was caused by extreme cruelty and bloodthirst. His pair of tiger eyes seemed to have ignited, as if sizing up his own prey.
Tiger Shave! Dai Yueheng once again pressed forward, his hands making the posture of the White Tiger Annihilation Kill. This time, he had to completely kill Xie Huanyue!
This time, Dai Yueheng's speed was as fast as lightning. The two claws that cut through space even created a sonic boom in the air!
Here it comes!
Xie Huanyue finally lit up his fifth soul ring at the last moment. Dai Yueheng's attack had not yet been unleashed when he suddenly swelled up starting from his stomach, as if returning to the appearance of when he had first met Huo Yuhao. His figure was stout, round and rolling, and on this basis, it continued to expand fiercely.
Dai Yueheng hurriedly swung out his tiger claws, intending to display his White Tiger Annihilation Kill. He had not expected that this charged-up strike would be like a stone sinking into the sea, being fiercely sucked into Xie Huanyue's suddenly propped-up giant belly, along with his body, being tightly clamped by the continuously expanding rubber belly.
Dai Yueheng's charge was too fierce. Even if he wanted to pull back, it was too late. So he was fiercely stuffed into the belly by Xie Huanyue.
What kind of bizarre soul skill is this?
"Rubber—"
Xie Huanyue's huge belly was strangely covered by a layer of a pitch-black color. Dai Yueheng's sharp tiger claws could no longer cut open his muscles. His entire person sank deeper and deeper. The rolling belly muscles heavily squeezed him. Dai Yueheng's bones were also displaced inch by inch at this moment.
"Siege Cannon!"
When Xie Huanyue's belly had expanded to a critical point, he fiercely propped up his belly, sending Dai Yueheng's small tiger body flying out. The huge impact made Dai Yueheng's entire person deform the moment he came out of the cannon, and he flew out at a speed far exceeding that of a soul tool cannonball.
Boom!
Dai Yueheng's body unavoidably crashed into the protective shield at the edge. The huge impact actually directly caused the so-strong protective shield to shatter inch by inch. Dai Yueheng instantly lost all consciousness, his entire person falling back to the ground of the plaza like a drifting leaf.
The might of one strike was actually so terrifying!
Countless spectators looked at the extremely miserable White Tiger Soul Emperor, their chins all falling to the ground. It was hard to imagine that Xie Huanyue's martial soul could actually achieve this degree of a fighting style.
"We won..." Xie Huanyue returned to his original appearance. His feet were a little unsteady. His body swayed as he came before Dai Yueheng, as if he were about to fall in the next moment.
At this moment, everyone's heart was in their throat. One after another, they cast their gazes towards the Dai Yueheng who was lying on the ground. The members of the Sun Moon team even more so clenched their fists. Surely, surely he won't get up again!
Having successively suffered heavy blows from Xie Huanyue, even the referee, Heaven-Shaking Douluo, didn't think that Dai Yueheng could get up again. If this had been him when he was a Soul Emperor, he would have long since been beaten to death by Xie Huanyue.
But what no one had expected was that Dai Yueheng's body did not move, but his tail moved first.
A long tiger tail instantly coiled around Xie Huanyue's neck, pulling his entire person into mid-air.
"You really surprised me..." Dai Yueheng's lower lip was already covered in blood. He also swayed as he stood up, clearly also having reached his limit.
"How is that possible!"
This was the thought in everyone's mind at this moment. Even the White Tiger Duke, Dai Hao, beside the Star Luo Emperor, also suddenly stood up, looking at his proud eldest son with a shocked gaze.
"Your performance is over. You just didn't expect that I still have a piece of an absolute defense right arm bone. The moment I crashed into the protective shield, I used it."
Dai Yueheng smiled, a very cruel smile. "I have to say, for you to be able to fight me to this state with your newly-advanced Soul King strength is enough to be proud of. But it's limited to this."
The next moment, he stretched out his two fists and clenched them in front, aiming at Xie Huanyue's chest.
"Goodbye. Black Tiger Heart Attack!"
An unimaginable impact force suddenly burst out, squarely hitting Xie Huanyue's chest. A sonic boom that pierced through his body created a ripple on the competition field's protective shield behind him.
"Cough... ah..."
Xie Huanyue's two eyes instantly lost focus. He didn't even have a chance to block before being completely broken through by this final blow from Dai Yueheng.
Seeing this scene, everyone couldn't help but sigh in their hearts. At this point, the victory and defeat had been decided.
For some reason, a mist of water inexplicably rose in Princess Jiujiu's beautiful eyes. She couldn't imagine what kind of fate Xie Huanyue would face after being hit by this fatal blow from Dai Yueheng without any defense.
The Heaven-Shaking Douluo didn't even have time to stop it. He was already numb. The battle before him had completely exceeded his predictions. He simply had no way to judge when to intervene and stop the match.
"Referee, he's dead. I've won. You can announce the result," Dai Yueheng released the tail that was tied around Xie Huanyue. His body swayed as he returned to the edge of the field and said in a cold voice.
"This... this match..." The Heaven-Shaking Douluo was just about to say something, but saw Xie Huanyue, who had fallen back to the ground, stagger forward a few steps. His second soul ring lit up again.
"Rubber..."
Xie Huanyue suddenly stood still. His body slightly squatted. A thick steam once again rose from his skin. He swung his fist at the Dai Yueheng who had his back to him.
"Machine Gun—"
Countless fists all landed on the horrified Dai Yueheng. At the last moment, he used his last Iron Tiger. But with his current state, how could he possibly block Xie Huanyue's all-out attack?
"Woahhhh..." Xie Huanyue shouted, venting all his last bit of strength onto Dai Yueheng's tiger body. Where the fists landed, one could clearly see the muscles caving in completely.
A stormy offensive directly smashed Dai Yueheng into the protective shield. But Xie Huanyue still had no intention of stopping. The one after another of bone-cracking sounds seemed to announce the end of Dai Yueheng's life.
Boom!
The protective shield was directly shattered!
And just at this time, two figures, one after the other, fell into the competition field.
"Scree—"
It was a huge phoenix phantom that descended from the sky, scooping up Dai Yueheng's body in its hands, not forgetting to fling an attack at Xie Huanyue, but it was blocked by an ice-blue figure that arrived afterwards.
The one who had made a move to save Dai Yueheng was naturally the dean of Shrek Academy, the Bright Phoenix Douluo, Yan Shaozhe. And the one who had blocked his fatal blow was surprisingly a youth.
Wide, ice-crystal wings slowly opened. The youth held a slender blade in his hand. Xie Huanyue was being supported by him with one hand but had already completely lost consciousness.
"Old Dog Yan, to sneak-attack a junior, you have no martial virtue, do you?"
