Chapter 170: A Bitter Victory
Hu Yanli immediately unleashed his third spirit skill, an invisible pressure instantly locking onto Jing Ling. Jing Ling, a speedy Agility-type spirit master, naturally prioritized attacking him.
"Ah! Such a strong pressure! I can't move!"
Enveloped by this invisible pressure, Jing Ling felt as if her body were filled with lead, weighing her down. Even moving a finger was a struggle.
In the original novel, even Zhu Zhuqing, a level 40+ soul master, was immobilized by Hu Yanli's third spirit skill, let alone Jing Ling, a mere level 35.
"Take my punch!"
Hu Yanli concentrated all his strength and spirit power, unleashing a single punch that struck Jing Ling's chest!
BANG!
The punch was powerful and forceful, like a heavy impact, striking Jing Ling's chest and sending her flying off the fighting stage, just like Huang Yuan had been struck earlier.
"Jing Ling!"
Ma Hongjun shouted. Huang Yuan and Jing Ling were both knocked out. Oscar and Jiangzhu were both support-type spirit masters, leaving them alone.
"Don't worry, it's your turn next!"
"That's not certain!"
Tang San's voice came from behind Hu Yanli. Just as Jing Ling was blown away, he used the Eight Spider Lance to dispatch another opponent.
"Five on five, fair!"
"Ah Qi! Damn it! I didn't expect you to have a spirit bone, too. If I'm not mistaken, it should be a poison-attributed torso bone, right? And a ten-thousand-year-old spirit bone!"
Hu Yanli offered his analysis. He hadn't considered the idea of an external spirit bone at all; of course, he couldn't have come up with that. But after hearing his analysis, the audience erupted in cheers. They were already shocked to see Hu Yanli use a spirit bone, but they hadn't expected Shrek Academy's Tang San to also possess a spirit bone, and a ten-thousand-year-old spirit bone at that.
This sparked a sliver of covetousness among some unscrupulous individuals...
Hu Yanli took a breath, pointed at Hu Yanba and Hu Yanshan, and commanded in an unquestionable tone, "You two, hold that brat back! I'll take care of Tiger and Chicken first!"
"Yes!"
The two nodded. They were both level 41 defensive-type Battle Soul Sects. Defeating Tang San might not be easy, but they could certainly hold their own against his onslaught for a while.
"Fourth Soul Skill: Thousand-Force Guiding Defense!"
They both unleashed their fourth soul skill, Thousand-Force Guiding Defense. The name suggested it was a defensive soul skill. As their soul rings flashed, their skin suddenly turned a tan, a true bronze, their defenses vastly enhanced!
"Come on, let's see if your spider-like spears can penetrate our absolute defense! Huh!"
With a roar, the two transformed into two walls, advancing towards Tang San.
"Now it's your turn!" Hu Yanli roared, leading the remaining two Soul Masters in a violent charge towards Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun.
"Oh no! This guy's gone berserk! Fatty, let's retreat! Use ranged attacks! Fourth Soul Skill: White Tiger Meteor Shower!"
"Alright! First Soul Skill: Phoenix Fireline!"
"Fourth Soul Skill: Thousand-Force Guidance!"
Hu Yanli also activated Thousand-Force Guidance, his entire body imbued with steel and invulnerability. With his bare hands, he withstood the attacks of Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun, then shouted, "Attack!"
"Third Soul Skill: Suppress!"
The two Soul Masters simultaneously used their third soul skills to envelop Ma Hongjun. They had just witnessed Ma Hongjun take flight, and since they feared flying-type Soul Masters the most, they had to subdue him first.
As for Tang San, they'd figure it out later.
"Damn it! I can't move!" Enveloped by the two pressures, Ma Hongjun was completely immobilized, and could only watch helplessly as the two Soul Masters' fists came crashing down on him!
Dai Mubai wanted to rescue him, but he was powerless. Hu Yanli held him tightly, preventing him from doing so.
Finally, the two Soul Masters, venting their anger at Hu Yanli, beat Ma Hongjun black and blue and threw him off the Soul Fighting Arena.
"Now it's just you!"
"Third Soul Skill: Suppress!"
"Mubai, eat your mushroom sausage!" Tang San urged Dai Mubai, seeing him in danger. Dai Mubai didn't hesitate, swallowing a mushroom sausage and launching himself into the air.
To prevent Hu Yanli and the others from attacking Oscar and Jiangzhu, Tang San used Blue Silver Grass to lift them aloft.
"Xiao San, there are only two of us left who can fight. What should we do now?" Dai Mubai felt a surge of helplessness, wondering if he should just give up the match.
Tang San didn't answer, but instead asked, "Boss Dai, are you afraid of the pain?"
"Hurt?" Dai Mubai realized that Tang San must have a solution, and immediately shook his head, saying, "As long as we can win, it doesn't matter if I suffer a little!"
"Okay, we'll go down and take out those two Soul Lords first. Then you cover me while we take down Hu Yanli and the other two one by one!"
"Okay!"
"Fourth Soul Skill: Blue Silver Poisonous Thorns!"
"Third Soul Skill: Spider Web Binding!"
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh...
In an instant, Tang San's soul power poured into the blue silver grass, condensing into five spider webs that shot towards Hu Yanli and the others.
The spider webs shot at an extremely fast speed, making it impossible for the five to avoid them. Moreover, after being amplified by the fourth soul skill, the blue silver spider webs were extremely tough and toxic.
Trapped in the poisonous web, their skin corroded and festered at a visible rate. Just then, Tang San shouted, "Mubai, now's the time!"
"Roger that! White Tiger Meteor Shower!"
Dai Mubai unleashed his full force, unleashing countless blasts of light at the two Soul Masters. Their already festered skin, how could they possibly withstand such a dense barrage? Instantly, they collapsed, gravely wounded!
"Mubai, let's fly down! Capture the leader first!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Tang San flew towards Hu Yanli, with Dai Mubai close behind.
"Damn it!"
Hu Yanli cursed inwardly, breaking free from the web. Luckily, he had just activated his fourth soul skill, boosting his physical defenses, so he sustained only minor injuries. Otherwise, his skin would have been corroded by the poison.
"Come on, Second Spirit Skill: Mammoth Strength!"
"Third Spirit Skill: White Tiger Vajra Transformation!" Dai Mubai activated his spirit skills, veins bulging and muscles swelling. With lightning speed, he flew towards Hu Yanba's back, grabbing both of his arms tightly.
"Xiao San, now's the chance!"
"Alright!"
Tang San swooped down from high above, harnessing the potential energy of the air to thrust his Eight Spider Spirit Bone into Hu Yanli's abdomen!
Puff!
Finally, the Eight Spider Lance pierced Hu Yanli's skin, spurring poison and causing him to scream in agony.
"Big Brother!"
Hu Yanba and Hu Yanshan, seeing this, ignored their corroded bodies and rushed towards him, to rescue their good brother.
To prevent them from disturbing Tang San, Dai Mubai held them back alone against two of them. But after such a prolonged battle, his spirit power had already run dry. How could he be a match for them?
In the end, he was beaten so badly by the two that he didn't even recognize his own mother. However, Dai Mubai successfully held them back.
As the poison poured into Hu Yanli's body, he collapsed in just a few breaths.
Next, facing the injured Hu Yanshan and the other two, Tang San used the kite-flying method to wear them down and won the match.
Although he won, it was a pyrrhic victory, because his spirit power was completely depleted, and the existence of the external spirit bone was exposed.
