—------------------—
Tang Wutong killed her opponent on the field, and her cold and ruthless voice spread throughout the field, making many people shudder.
The referee was horrified. He saluted from a distance toward the competition stage, then looked at Tang Wutong and shouted, "Before the match, Master Kong warned us not to kill people indiscriminately. How could you kill someone? Could it be that you can't stop?"
In view of the fact that there were too many dangerous people coming this time, Kong Deming was worried that the students of the Sun-Moon Empire would be attacked by madmen, so he specifically emphasized in his speech before the game that they should not fight to the death easily.
Tang Wutong twitched the corner of her mouth, as if she hadn't expected someone to ask such a stupid question. She sneered, "In previous competitions, it was not uncommon for people to die on the field. Are you going to make an exception here?"
"What's more, if an accident occurs on the field, you, the referee, are the one who bears the greatest responsibility! How could I know that he wouldn't be able to withstand even one of my moves?"
"you..."
The referee's face flushed red as he pointed at Tang Wutong, speechless. He had never seen such a talented player who turned the tables on others.
He wanted to intervene, but in all the ten thousand years of the tournament, had there ever been a time when the first move killed someone? How could he intervene?
"Okay, there were problems on both sides in this accident. Shrek was ruthless, and the referee was a step too late."
Kong Deming on the high platform spoke, raised his hand and said, "Zheng Zhan, the next match will be decided by you."
"yes."
A ninth-level soul engineer came from a distance, bowed to Kong Deming, and then replaced the seventh-ring referee. He was a ninth-level soul engineer known as the Indestructible King and the chief referee of this competition.
Zheng Zhan landed and gave Tang Wutong a complicated look. He said, "I know you're from the Haotian Sect. I have a history with a master from your sect. It's best to hold back in the coming battle and not draw enemies to the Haotian Sect in vain."
Tang Wutong glanced at Zheng Zhan and said proudly, "When has the Haotian Sect ever been afraid of its enemies? If they want to make trouble, just come on. Neither the Haotian Sect nor Shrek will be afraid!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Zheng Zhan's voice became hoarse and the corners of his mouth twitched.
So you think you're justified in killing someone on the field? That's a human life, this isn't a battlefield.
On the high platform, Kong Deming couldn't help but whisper to Xu Tianxi, "Tianxi, are all the people in the Haotian Sect this crazy? With this kind of behavior, how did they manage to form the Sea God Alliance?"
Xu Tianxi resisted the urge to hold his forehead, controlled his facial expression, and replied, "From what I know, it's probably all coercion and inducement. After all, they and Sea God Island together have two Ultimate Douluo."
A Super Douluo Fourth Elder with three Titled Douluos dares to show off in front of the three giants of Xuanming Sect, let alone those small sects and families?
Turning his gaze towards Shrek, Xu Tianxi saw that Yan Shaozhe's face was filled with joy, and the clouds of gloom were swept away. There was only dissatisfaction with the referee of the Sun and Moon Empire in his eyes, and he immediately shook his head slightly.
Birds of a feather flock together. He is worthy of being Ma Xiaotao's teacher and Ye Xishui's descendant.
At this time, a young man with a simple and honest face walked out from the Tianjia Sect. His facial features were about 50% similar to Han Yu.
With anger in his eyes, he bowed to Tang Wutong and said, "I am Han Jian, the captain of the Tianjiao Sect. In the next individual competition, we in the Tianjiao Sect are willing to concede defeat and have a team battle. How do you think?"
The elimination system of this competition is divided into individual and team competitions. The individual competition is worth seven points and the team competition is worth five points. The one with the highest score will advance. The Tianjia Sect gave up all the individual competitions, which means they chose to admit defeat and get a chance at a group competition.
Normally, this kind of thing is not allowed, but Zheng Zhangang was choked by Tang Wutong, so he stopped talking and just watched coldly.
Tang Wutong did not respond to Han Jian. Instead, she looked at Yan Shaozhe and the Tenth Elder. After receiving their smiles and nods of encouragement, she spoke to Han Jian from a distance:
"As you wish, you will see Shrek's strength."
"We in the Tianjia Sect will not let you down."
Han Jian clenched his fists and looked at Han Yu, who was brought back by his companions and was dead, with painful eyes. His heart was broken, because that was his own brother.
The individual competition was transformed into a team competition. During the two-minute intermission, the looks of the people from all sides who looked at the Shrek Academy team changed, with fear being the most common.
The direction of ontology.
Long Aotian frowned, staring at the arena, secretly estimating his chances of winning the battle with Tang Wutong. This woman was indeed powerful, and her spirit ring was even more special than his.
Huo Yuhao stared in astonishment at Tang Wutong, who was completely different from his impression. His shoulders trembled, his teeth chattered, and he said in a daze:
"How did Wang Dong become like this? Who is this person who replaced Wang Dong's spirit and body?"
He didn't know that Wang Dong was a woman at first, but after staying in the Body Sect for a long time and reading a lot of books, he knew that the Butterfly Martial Spirit of the Goddess of Light could only appear in women, and that his good brothers were actually good sisters.
This was nothing. In Huo Yuhao's heart, Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao were his only friends of the same age, with the addition of the caring Bei Bei at most.
But now...
Beibei came to watch the game in a wheelchair. From what Senior Sister Vina had gathered, she learned that he was crippled by Tang Ya, who had transformed into an evil soul master.
Wang Dong's condition was completely different from before, and Huo Yuhao was sure that the man could not be Wang Dong.
Only Xiaoxiao was still sitting in the preparation area of Heaven as usual, with the same shocked expression as him. He must be also surprised at how Wang Dong, the optimistic Wang Dong who was just a little proud, a little naughty and lazy back then, could become like this.
"Junior brother, calm down. I think the young master of the Haotian Sect has become a different person. He doesn't recognize his relatives anymore." Gu Tong noticed that Huo Yuhao was shaking, so he patted his shoulder and advised Huo Yuhao to stay calm.
She was so quick at killing, and the Benti Sect wasn't as arrogant as her. How did the little girl who had come to the Benti Sect with ice cream end up like this? Did she sacrifice something to gain this level of cultivation and spirit ring?
"Brother, don't worry, I'm fine, I'm fine..."
Huo Yuhao calmed down a little, glanced at Yan Shaozhe, who was smiling and boasting about Tang Wutong's skills in the team, and deep hatred welled up in his eyes.
Shrek!
It must have been Shrek again! That old bastard Yan Shaozhe must be in cahoots with those evil soul masters! Only Shrek and evil soul masters could do this!
"A-choo~!"
At the Douling Royal Academy, Zhang Peng sneezed and cursed, "Which bastard is whispering about me behind my back?" Then he sat up straight and gave instructions to his precious disciples:
"I have warned you all long ago that those who claim to be righteous are even more vicious and despicable than us evil spirit masters. If you encounter her in future competitions, everyone except the Saint Girl and Yan Feng must admit defeat to save their lives. Do you understand?"
"This witch killed people and still felt justified in doing so. She's even more shameless than me."
"We will follow the teachings of the Lord." The young geniuses of the Holy Spirit Church responded in unison.
Bone Dragon Soul Saint Yan Feng looked at the arena and asked sincerely, "Scorpion Tiger Priest, isn't Tang Wutong's soul ring like the Saint's, devouring the life force of soul masters and soul beasts?"
The Hateful Soul Emperor Lu Genggeng continued the conversation, "Yes, Lord Worshiper, the Saint Lady's soul rings are seven black, and that woman has six black and one red. How much vitality did she have to devour to achieve this level of cultivation?"
Zhang Peng wanted to scare these younger generations so that they would learn from his mistakes, so he said with a stern face:
"You hit the nail on the head. From what I've seen, this woman has devoured a vast number of spirit masters and spirit beasts to increase the age of her spirit rings. She has devoured more than Yan Feng and the Saint Girl combined. Only with the addition of you can she barely surpass them."
"So terrifying?!" The six young geniuses of the Holy Spirit Church, except Tang Ya, said in unison, shocked.
"If she hadn't killed countless people, how could she treat human life as worthless? She doesn't even consider spirit masters as human beings, nor as resources. Her level of indifference is higher than mine. Even the Blue Silver Saint is far behind her."
Zhang Peng had a deep expression. He only used animal blood for his cultivation and had not killed many people. He saw Tang Wutong's indifference and even ignored Zheng Zhan's kind words of advice. It was obvious that she had lost all humanity and her state of mind was close to that of the Supreme Leader.
When Yan Feng and his group of younger generations met Zheng Zhan, they still knew to be polite from the bottom of their hearts.
Seeing Zhang Peng being so serious, Yan Feng and the other six couldn't help but feel horrified. Since they were able to stand out from the Holy Spirit Church, they were naturally ruthless and murderous. However, they thought that they were far inferior to Tang Wutong, and they dared not underestimate Shrek anymore.
No wonder you can be orthodox soul masters. It turns out that we are no match for the evil ones. It's not unfair that we lost!
After a two-minute break, seven people from the Tianjiao Sect came on stage, each of them looking like a desperate soldier with a sad and angry expression.
On the Shrek side, Tang Wutong naturally walked in the front, with Clear Sky Hammer Soul Emperor Tang Yao and Tang Tian guarding on the left and right, Dai Huabin and Zhu Lu following behind, the first substitute Xie Huanyue replaced Beibei's position, and Master Ning followed at the end.
"Both sides step back and prepare for the competition." After saying this, Zheng Zhan took off into the air, staring intently at the competition field, and was especially wary of Tang Wutong.
Mr. Kong, Kong Tianxi, and that guy Jing Hongchen were all watching up there. It would be so embarrassing if something went wrong during the competition that he was hosting himself.
However, what happened next was not as he wished.
As soon as the team battle started, the seven soul masters of Tianjia Sect all deployed the Tianjia Shield, forming a rock-solid shield formation. It was the Tianjia Sect's family-inherited seven-in-one martial soul combination skill.
The seven-man shield formation had almost no flaws, and the two Clear Sky Hammer Soul Emperors were unable to defeat them for a while. Dai Huabin and Zhu Lu's coordinated attack did not gain any advantage, and Zhu Lu was even nearly injured by the Tianjia Sect's charged counterattack.
Seeing this, Tang Wutong moved, and her fourth soul ring vibrated. That was her hexagram formation.
The Goddess of Light, known as the most beautiful butterfly on the continent, spread its wings and flew high, sending down a series of hexagram arrays, trapping the three people from the Tianjia Sect. Han Jian shouted with all his might, calling on his companions to work together, consuming a large amount of soul power to break through the restrictions of the star array.
"You won't be able to hold on for long."
Tang Wutong shouted coldly and activated her fifth soul skill, Light God Possession. Within three seconds, she transformed herself into a body of light element, compatible with all elements except darkness. When attacking, the power of any of her other soul skills was doubled.
Then, the sixth soul skill, Butterfly Dance, erupted under the possession of the God of Light. A huge butterfly shadow of the Goddess of Light rose into the air and instantly transformed into a dazzling blue-gold stream of light, attacking.
The Tianjia Sect's shield formation was broken by this attack, and several Soul Sect members ran out of energy and fell to the ground. Han Jian also spat out a mouthful of blood.
The outcome of the battle was about to be decided. Zheng Zhan perked up and stared at Tang Wutong to prevent her from killing again.
But in the next moment, the air was filled with the screams of the Tianjiao Sect disciples and the sound of flesh and blood exploding.
"Ah…"
"Young Sect Master, be careful…!"
Zheng Zhan lowered his head suddenly, and a scene that made his eyes red came into view——
After being blocked, the blue-gold light transformed into several small goddess butterflies of light, which flew towards the disciples of Tianjia Sect and exploded.
How could the four Soul Sects withstand the nearly all-out attack of the Soul Saints? They were shattered to pieces on the spot, blood splattering everywhere, their martial souls and their lives completely vanished.
The remaining three Tianjiao Sect disciples were also blown to the ground. A Soul King pinned Han Jian down with his back blown into a bloody mess.
"Swish~!"
Zheng Zhan flew down and released the ninth-level soul guide to break the shield to block the aftermath of the explosion. He finally rescued Han Jian and the soul king who was protecting him.
As for the last Soul King... he had been blown into pieces.
"Shrek, you killed five people in a row. That's too much!"
Zheng Zhan had never suffered such humiliation in his life. He had lost his reputation as a referee. His neck turned red and he roared at Tang Wutong.
If he hadn't still had some rationality left, he would have been unable to resist attacking Tang Wutong.
"Hmph, you are an incompetent referee, yet you dare to blame others? What a despicable way of the Sun and Moon Empire!"
The bright soul light surged, and Yan Shaozhe appeared in front of Tang Wutong, sneering and mocking.
The ten elders of the Haotian Sect also appeared side by side, protecting Tang Wutong behind them, and said with a pout: "Why are you shouting so loudly? If someone didn't know, they would think that the one who died was the old emperor of your Sun Moon Empire."
Zheng Zhan was furious and shouted, "This isn't a competition, this is murder!"
"Mr. Zheng!"
On the high platform, Xu Tianxi stood up and said loudly, "As the host, we should just fulfill our responsibilities. There's no point in arguing with these lunatics. Let's take those two away to heal their wounds first."
Zheng Zhan looked down at the two half-dead people from the Tianjia Sect, lowered his brows, glared fiercely at Yan Shaozhe and the tenth elder of the Haotian Sect, and took the two back to the Tianjia Sect.
While taking out some precious medicine, Zheng Zhan said, "I am responsible for their deaths. I will not reduce the pension I deserve, and I will also provide them with medicine for their injuries."
"Old man...thank you."
The leader of Tianjiao Sect nodded gloomily, turned around and left with his eldest son and nephew in his arms. He looked extremely lonely and did not dare to look at the six sons and nephews who died tragically.
Shrek won, and the victory was beyond doubt, but such a victory caused discomfort to many people.
At this time, Zhang Peng's soul guide communicator rang.
Zhang Peng answered the call and put it to his ear. Zhongli Wu's deep and swift voice suddenly came from the other side of the communicator:
"This woman's character is very compatible with our sect. She has the potential to be a saint. Our leader has taken a liking to her. We will discuss matters after the competition and look for an opportunity to snatch her away."
"Ah? Master, you're interested in someone from Shrek again? She has the attribute of light." Zhang Peng tilted his head, almost thinking he had misheard.
"Is that what this leader wants to do to Shrek? It was clearly our Saint who was taken away by them first! Who can compare with Yan Feng and the others?"
Zhongli Wu said this in the audience, feeling disappointed. He tried his best to hide his covetous eyes and said sinisterly:
"What's wrong with the light attribute? This Sect Leader personally transformed her into an evil one. This Sect Leader has decided on this person. We must not make the same mistake as last time!"
The supreme saint reappears. Shrek is worthy of being Shrek. He has great connections and can always find talents that even the Holy Spirit Church cannot find.
