Shi Yu disappeared while retreating, making Wang Dong and Huo Yuhao extremely vigilant.
This time, Shi Yu appeared behind Huo Yuhao, not focusing on attacking just one person.
The goal was to attack both of them, making them guess who Senior was going to attack, which could better consume their energy.
Huo Yuhao was prepared. Senior used Ghost Shadow Perplexing Steps, and Senior's hands became hard due to Mysterious Jade Hand, giving Senior some close-combat offensive capability.
It was naturally impossible to truly dodge. Ghost Shadow Perplexing Steps also couldn't help Senior evade Shi Yu's Space Power attack.
Senior's jade-like hand struck out to block. The powerful impact made Senior's footwork chaotic, and Senior was sent flying backward anyway, Senior's arm numb.
Mysterious Jade Hand made Senior's palm less painful, but Senior's arm, which wasn't jade-like, still suffered impact damage.
Wang Dong's attack arrived. Shi Yu still used Naruto's Instant Transmission to dodge. Even if Senior could handle it, Senior wouldn't just deal with it casually.
Naruto's Instant Transmission was Senior's core ability, so naturally, Senior couldn't not use it.
Wang Dong's attack, slashed out with the wings of the Goddess of Light Butterfly, missed.
"Be careful," Huo Yuhao reminded Wang Dong. This time, Shi Yu might appear behind Wang Dong to attack Senior.
In Senior's view, Shi Yu's attacks might be systematic, attacking one person at a time.
Wang Dong also indeed thought Shi Yu would attack Senior, as Senior had just finished attacking, and attacking Senior at this time would be relatively easy to succeed.
Shi Yu's choice was Huo Yuhao. Shi Yu appeared behind Huo Yuhao, grabbed with a large hand, and the Eight Spider Lances behind Senior were also released, stabbing towards Huo Yuhao.
Space Power turned into a large hand and firmly grabbed Huo Yuhao. This power was also difficult for Huo Yuhao to easily break free from.
The Eight Spider Lances' attack followed. Huo Yuhao was a fixed target, difficult to dodge.
"Tian Meng Ge, help Shi Yu! Shi Yu doesn't want to lose this match. Shi Yu has a reason Shi Yu must win," Huo Yuhao, unable to cope alone, could only desperately ask for help.
Senior knew how powerful Shi Yu's Eight Spider Lances were. They could even take down a Soul Grandmaster. If Senior didn't ask for help now, Senior might not have any subsequent opportunities.
That single stab from the opponent could potentially eliminate Senior.
If it were someone else, losing this match would just be losing.
But this was precisely Dai Huabin's team. Senior could lose to other teams, but Senior absolutely could not lose to Dai Huabin's team, absolutely not.
Even if they had already eliminated Dai Huabin, Senior still couldn't lose to the remaining person, even if Senior didn't have a significant feud with Senior.
This was a team battle. Losing was equivalent to losing to Dai Huabin. This was something Senior could not accept.
Therefore, even if it meant cheating, Senior had to ask Tianmeng Iceworm for help. At this moment, only Tianmeng Iceworm could help Senior.
Huo Yuhao had communicated with Tianmeng Iceworm beforehand.
Senior knew that Senior's chances of winning against Dai Huabin's team were slim.
Not only because of the strength of Dai Huabin and Zhu Lu, but also because of Shi Yu's existence.
This person was someone who had defeated a Soul Grandmaster in a one-on-one fight. Their personal strength was beyond doubt.
With Senior, plus Dai Huabin and Zhu Lu, it was truly difficult for them to win.
For safety, Senior also communicated with Tianmeng Iceworm, hoping Senior could help Senior win.
Tianmeng Iceworm, upon learning about the feud between Huo Yuhao and Dai Huabin, was also willing to lend a hand. In this battle, they would surely win.
"Okay," Tianmeng Iceworm agreed readily, reasonably lending a bit of Senior's power to Huo Yuhao.
The reason it had to be reasonable was that there were some powerful Soul Masters watching the match. If it wasn't reasonable, it could easily arouse their suspicion.
The reasonable method Senior thought of was to make Huo Yuhao's Spirit Eyes erupt with power, creating the illusion of the Spirit Eyes Martial Soul unexpectedly awakening, evolving, and bursting with power.
"Ah!" Huo Yuhao suddenly roared, turning Senior's head to glare at Shi Yu. Purple spiritual light shot out from Senior's Spirit Eyes, a combined attack of Tang Sect's ultimate technique, Purple Demon Eyes, and powerful spiritual power.
Referee Du Weilun felt a chill in Senior's heart and was ready to intervene at any moment.
Yan Shaozhe and other Teachers with considerable cultivation who were watching were surprised and frowned. How could such powerful spiritual energy suddenly erupt?
"Not good!" Shi Yu realized something was wrong and wanted to use Naruto's Instant Transmission to leave.
But the speed at which this spiritual attack arrived was even faster than expected, giving Senior no Time at all.
The intense sense of danger instinctively prompted Senior to activate Senior's Time Power, which Senior didn't often use.
Time Power was formless and intangible, even difficult to sense its existence. It spread out unknowingly, affecting the flow of Time in a certain area.
The powerful spiritual energy was also affected, and the Time of its arrival was delayed.
This was also because this spiritual power wasn't strong enough to an exaggerated degree.
Tianmeng Iceworm had many considerations when taking action. At this moment, it was impossible for Senior to unleash overly powerful spiritual energy.
Doing so would easily expose Senior's existence and make it difficult for Huo Yuhao to explain Senior's spiritual outburst this time.
Senior also controlled this spiritual attack to a level close to a Soul Grandmaster.
A spiritual attack of this intensity was something Shi Yu could handle with Time Power.
In a flash, Shi Yu made a decision: not Naruto's Instant Transmission, but Displacement. The second Soul Ring on Senior's body lit up.
Under the stimulation of the crisis, the release speed of this Soul Skill was unprecedentedly fast. Senior locked onto Wang Dong.
Wang Dong felt something abnormal, and Senior's heart froze. Senior was about to unleash Soul Power to respond.
But the Displacement skill had already locked onto Senior. Shi Yu, regardless of consumption, used this skill, determined to displace Senior over.
Under the slowing effect of Time Power, Shi Yu performed a highly precise position swap with Wang Dong.
Senior appeared in the air, while Wang Dong appeared in Senior's previous position. The powerful spiritual attack instantly arrived, giving Wang Dong no Time to react at all.
The spiritual light was like a thousand-jin heavy hammer smashing fiercely onto Wang Dong's brow.
"Ah!" Wang Dong screamed in agony, Senior's voice sharp and somewhat hoarse, not Senior's original voice.
This spiritual attack made Senior feel like Senior's head was about to explode, causing splitting headaches and a severe feeling of soul tearing.
"Wang Dong!" Huo Yuhao was startled, Senior's mind blank for a moment. How could Senior's attack have landed on Wang Dong?
Just as Senior was rushing over to check on Wang Dong's condition, golden energy surged in Wang Dong's spiritual sea. This energy erased the spiritual energy that had attacked Wang Dong's spiritual sea and unleashed a dominant spiritual attack in response.
"Not good!" Tianmeng Iceworm in Huo Yuhao's spiritual sea jolted, realizing something was wrong, and quickly used Senior's power to protect Huo Yuhao's spiritual sea.
A golden beam shot out from Wang Dong's brow and instantly landed on Huo Yuhao's brow, attacking Senior's spiritual sea.
This was a response to Senior's previous attack, or rather, a backlash.
"Ah!" Huo Yuhao screamed, clutching Senior's head. This spiritual attack made Senior's head feel like it was about to explode too, extremely uncomfortable.
A powerful spiritual attack entered Huo Yuhao's spiritual sea, making Tianmeng Iceworm inside feel like facing a formidable enemy, resisting with all Senior's might.
While resisting, Huo Yuhao's pain continuously intensified. Senior fell to the ground, rolling and struggling in various ways to alleviate Senior's pain.
