Chapter 123 Shrek Team on the Verge of Elimination
"The match begins!"
At the referee's signal, the Spirit Hall team, which had been poised to attack, moved instantly.
Without any probing, it was an overwhelming and crushing defeat from the very beginning.
Zhu Zhuqing's figure vanished from the spot in an instant, like a wisp of black smoke.
As a former teammate, she knew all too well the fatal weakness of Shrek Academy's current lineup: the presence of two support Soul Masters.
However, she also knew that Tang San's Blue Silver Grass would always protect the rear, so she only surrounded the area and did not attack.
"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"
A sharp, piercing sound of wind breaking through the air echoed across the arena.
Zhu Zhuqing didn't confront anyone head-on. Instead, like a black cat dancing on a knife's edge, she used her extreme speed to frantically tear apart Shrek's clumsy defenses.
If the defense line falters, or if she seizes an opportunity, she will not hesitate to launch a sneak attack on the support Soul Master.
The Shrek team also discovered this problem.
With a roar, Tai Long's massive hand, imbued with soul power, slammed down on the dark figure.
But in Zhu Zhuqing's eyes, his movements were so slow that it was like a slow-motion replay.
Zhu Zhuqing twisted her waist, drawing a strange "Z" shaped line in the air, easily avoiding Tai Long's heavy blow. Instead, she used the force to step on Tai Long's arm, twisted her body, and her sharp claws, like black lightning, fiercely grabbed at Tai Long's unsuspecting throat!
"Pfft!"
Blood splattered.
Although Tai Long was thick-skinned and tough, this blow still made him gasp in pain, and his massive body staggered backward, directly disrupting Shrek's formation.
At the same time, Xie Yue and Yan launched a full-scale attack from the front.
"Crescent Moon Slash!" "Hellfire!"
Two terrifying torrents of soul power crashed down head-on.
Dai Mubai was overwhelmed, Ma Hongjun's Phoenix Fire Line was swallowed by Yan's lava, and Oscar didn't even have time to deliver his sausage.
In just one minute, the Shrek Seven Devils were forced into a corner of the arena, like a pack of clumsy bears being hunted by wolves, retreating step by step in a sorry state.
"It's over."
With his twin blades combined, Xie Yue's eyes flashed with disdain as he prepared to unleash a final blow, sweeping this rabble off the stage.
However, just as Shrek was on the verge of collapse.
Tang San, who had been standing silently in the center of the group, suddenly raised his head.
Within those two purple demonic eyes, azure light pierced through the dust and smoke like two sharp swords.
"Xiao Wu!"
This sharp shout was like a spell to break a seal.
"Leave it to me!"
The pink-clad girl, who had been protected by Tang San, suddenly changed her expression at that moment.
That soul power, which had been deliberately suppressed, erupted without reservation in an instant, like a volcano that had been accumulating for thousands of years!
"Teleportation!"
Xiao Wu's figure vanished into thin air.
The next second, she didn't appear behind the weak support-type character, but instead flashed directly above Yan, the most powerful and arrogant attacker in the Spirit Hall!
"What?!" Yan was shocked. Had the other party gone mad? Daring to go head-to-head with him, a Soul King?
"First Soul Skill, Waist Bow!"
Xiao Wu's long braid instantly wrapped around Yan's neck like a serpent, and her supple waist arched backward, unleashing a terrifying and monstrous strength that sent chills down one's spine.
"Get down!"
With a delicate shout, Yan's body was lifted off the ground by Xiao Wu like a sack of potatoes, then swung in the air in a full semi-circle before crashing heavily into Xie Yue, who was about to charge forward!
"Bang--!"
The two main forces collided violently, and the sound of the collision was enough to make your teeth ache.
At the same time, Tang San made a move.
"Fourth Soul Skill, Blue Silver Cage - Thrust!"
Countless blue silver grasses, with a chilling metallic luster, sprouted from the ground beneath the feet of the Spirit Hall members like tentacles reaching out from hell!
This is not simply trapping the enemy, but piercing them!
Although the competition forbids him from using hidden weapons, his Blue Silver Grass can be used to make poison. As long as the Blue Silver Grass's poison is combined with a little bit of the Tang Clan's super poison he concocts, it instantly becomes a deadly weapon.
He didn't think it was a foul; rather, he was using his skills.
Even if every member of the Spirit Hall team has a very high spirit power level, they would be absolutely unable to resist the poison he secretly administered.
Therefore, he was confident that he could incapacitate his opponent by simply piercing the skin or even just getting a little bit of it on them.
"Not good!"
Zhu Zhuqing, who was harassing Tang San at high speed, suddenly changed her expression. Just as she was about to change direction, she discovered that Tang San's Blue Silver Grass seemed to have predicted her landing point and wove a large net in advance, blocking all her escape routes.
"Controlling the crane to capture the dragon!"
Tang San made a grabbing motion in the air, and an invisible suction force forcefully pulled Zhu Zhuqing's body, causing her to freeze in mid-air for a moment.
In that instant, Xiao Wu's attack arrived.
"Explosive Eight-Stage Throw!"
Pink afterimages merged into one in the air.
All the crowd heard was a series of muffled thuds, and Zhu Zhuqing was kicked away like a cannonball, crashing hard into Hu Liena's arms, where the two rolled around in a ball.
The situation reversed in the blink of an eye!
The Spirit Hall team, which was invincible just a moment ago, now had its formation torn to shreds.
Tang San stood in the center of the arena, with countless blue silver grasses writhing behind him like wildly dancing demonic snakes, turning the entire arena into his absolute domain.
Xiao Wu rushed in alone and disrupted the formation.
"Hehe...hehehe..."
Yan suddenly raised his hand and grabbed Xiao Wu's ankle, which was darting around everywhere.
He slowly raised his head. He had been somewhat disheveled from the sudden commotion, but now that he had recovered, his eyes burned with a fierce fighting spirit.
"You really did give me a fright."
Yan slowly propped himself up, and the terrifying soul power belonging to a level 52 Soul King roared and crashed wildly within his body like a flood about to burst its banks.
"I have to admit, you are much stronger than the average Soul Master."
Yan casually wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, his eyes turning cold and cruel.
"But, little girl, you seem to have forgotten something…"
"In the face of an absolute difference in soul power level, your fancy footwork skills are like paper toys."
"Boom--!"
A jet-black beam of soul power suddenly erupted from Yan's body, instantly sending Xiao Wu, who was standing on him, flying away.
At the same time, Xie Yue and Hu Liena, who were not far away, also removed their disguises.
The combined pressure of three Soul King-level forces crashed onto the arena like three mountains, causing the air to explode under the immense pressure.
"This is... the difference."
Yan slowly floated into the air, and beneath his feet, the deep black fifth spirit ring suddenly lit up, just like the pupils of a demon.
"Fifth Soul Skill - Flying Sand Rage!"
Without any fancy build-up, Yan slammed his fists down.
The entire arena erupted in cheers.
Countless molten magma mixed with the raging hurricane, transforming into a firestorm tens of meters high, which swept towards the Shrek group with a devastating force.
This is not a single-target attack at all, but an indiscriminate destruction that covers the entire field!
"Retreat quickly!"
Tang San's expression changed drastically. His Blue Silver Grass grew wildly in an attempt to build a defensive line, but in the face of that absolute power, the resilient Blue Silver Grass instantly turned to ashes.
Xiao Wu, who was at the center of the storm, felt an irresistible force slam into her chest.
She gritted her teeth, just about to use teleportation to escape this death zone.
However, just as that violent surge of soul power swept across her body...
"Buzz—"
The violent tremor caused her clothes to loosen abruptly.
A heartbreakingly beautiful red light slipped uncontrollably from her arms in the gale, swept by the air currents, and plunged towards the scalding lava.
That is... the Love-Sickness Heartbreak Red!
In that instant, Xiao Wu's previously calm eyes were filled with unprecedented terror.
It wasn't the fear of death, but the despair of being exposed.
Once this immortal herb leaves the body, the aura of a 100,000-year-old soul beast will no longer be able to be concealed!
Before the Papal Palace, right under the nose of that unfathomable Pope, lay a death sentence that seemed certain!
Ignoring the oncoming fifth soul skill, Xiao Wu suddenly twisted her body in mid-air and reached out to grab the flower tightly.
Closer... Got it!
The moment her fingertips touched the flower stem, Xiao Wu's heart almost stopped, cold sweat instantly soaked her back, and she was nearly scared to death.
But it was this desperate grab that caused the momentary delay.
"Boom—!"
Yan's fifth soul skill struck Xiao Wu's unsuspecting body squarely.
"Puff--"
Xiao Wu coughed up a mouthful of blood, and like a kite with a broken string, she was thrown away by the terrifying impact while holding the flower she had just regained. She flew through the air in a tragic arc and crashed heavily outside the arena.
