Zhu Ziyang was surrounded by his senior brothers and sisters, eyes locked tightly on the Ghost Moon Forest Python King.
This was his second time facing a hundred-thousand-year soul beast. The feeling was entirely different, and so was the situation. The Silver Dragon Wolf had been gravely wounded and near death, with no intent to kill him. But this Ghost Moon Forest Python King was in peak condition and brimming with murderous intent.
'This time, it's a fight to the death. I can't hold back,' Zhu Ziyang thought to himself.
"Ziyang, are you sure you want to stay?" came Electrolux's voice in his mind. "In my current state, I can still get you out of here—"
"Teacher, let's wait a bit longer," Zhu Ziyang firmly refused. "I don't want to be a deserter. I believe in my seniors. If I really fled alone, I'd live the rest of my life buried in guilt and regret! Besides, maybe Elder Xuan is already on his way here!"
"...Very well," Electrolux sighed, agreeing reluctantly, but already prepared to evacuate Zhu Ziyang at a moment's notice.
Once the Shrek team made their decision, they acted immediately. Facing the hundred-thousand-year Ghost Moon Forest Python King, no one dared to be the slightest bit careless—they all went all out.
A faint silver mist rose beneath Zhang Lexuan's feet, spreading across several hundred meters, enveloping the python and all the Shrek students in its glow. Within the mist, her seven soul rings gleamed brilliantly. Even the trees and grass nearby took on a dreamy, enchanting shimmer.
This was the domain of Zhang Lexuan's Moon Martial Soul—Silver Moon Domain. While within it, her soul power and soul skills were enhanced. Her seventh soul ring lit up, and in the blink of an eye, her figure vanished into the mist, replaced by a radiant full moon suspended in the air.
Silver Moon True Form!
At the same time, Han Ruoruo, Zhang Weiwei, and Cheng Hui all released their Martial Soul True Forms without hesitation.
A pale silver light coated Han Ruoruo's body. Her expression was solemn as she suddenly vanished into a blend of golden and silver light. Almost simultaneously, countless twining ropes of gold and silver shot out, forming rings that rapidly expanded across the ground and raced forward like lightning.
Illusory Gold True Form!
Zhang Weiwei moved silently, expressionless, and then transformed into a massive, lush tree. Its bark and branches were covered with eerie, eye-like patterns. A single glance could easily mesmerize one into losing themselves. Its roots plunged into the soil, green mist quietly spreading outward.
Demonic Tree True Form!
Cheng Hui leapt into the air, flipped, and transformed into a giant green bird about five meters long. Its body was covered with razor-sharp feathers like blades. Golden claws glinted, eyes sparkled like gemstones, and each flap of its wings stirred up fierce gusts of wind. Its beak opened wide with a piercing screech.
Azure Cloud Roc True Form!
As the four Soul Sages unleashed their Martial Soul True Forms, the pressure on the rest of the team lightened considerably. They too began to release their Martial Souls and prepared for a life-or-death struggle.
The Ghost Moon Forest Python King looked at the humans before it, clearly prepared for battle, but its eyes only focused on the silver moon that Zhang Lexuan had become—burning with desire. It had a strong instinct: this human's bloodline was the key to its breakthrough into a savage beast!
Devour her!
That was the python's only thought.
Zhang Lexuan had no idea what the python was thinking. She only knew she had to take the lead—show resolve and hope to the others! At once, her first, second, third, and sixth soul rings lit up. The silver moon in the air burst forth with countless beams of moonlight, radiating in all directions like a celestial dance of flowers.
"Roar!" The Ghost Moon Forest Python King let out a thunderous roar—shockingly, it sounded like a tiger's bellow. It tried to move its enormous body, only to find it couldn't budge. Looking down, it discovered ropes of gold and silver tightly wrapped around its body.
Han Ruoruo had struck in tandem, knowing her long-time partner Zhang Lexuan wouldn't act alone.
With Zhang Lexuan and Han Ruoruo leading the charge, Cheng Hui and Zhang Weiwei followed without hesitation. The Azure Cloud Roc flapped its wings, sending out blade-like feathers imbued with sharp energy toward the python. The Demonic Tree's branches expanded into long tendrils and instantly bound the python's body.
At the same time, waves of attacks followed—blue phoenix flames, golden flaming swords, glowing pink arrows, black-and-white sword arrays, golden energy beams, and even the hulking shadow of a wild, brutish figure—all slammed into the Ghost Moon Forest Python King.
All of Shrek's power was unleashed in full. However, among the flood of attacks, only Zhang Lexuan and Luo Wei's strikes actually inflicted any real damage. Zhang Lexuan's moonlight beams pierced the python's scales and burned the flesh underneath, while Luo Wei's arrows embedded themselves into its massive body.
"You damn ants!" The pain from Zhang Lexuan and Luo Wei's attacks enraged the python. It roared in fury and violently shook its massive body, easily breaking free from the restraints of the two Soul Sages. It writhed across the ground, and in a flash, its tail swept toward the team.
Zhang Lexuan and the others in front quickly dodged—either jumping into the air or leaping backward—and narrowly avoided the strike. But Zhu Lie, who had been attacking up close, had no way to escape. He activated two soul skills in succession and braced for the impact.
With a crash, Zhu Lie was sent flying, smashing through more than ten large trees and tumbling over fifty meters before hitting the ground hard.
The others couldn't afford to check on him—there was no time. They could only pray silently for his safety.
"Senior Sister Luo, the seventh scale under its jaw is the softest spot!" In a battle of this level, Zhu Ziyang couldn't contribute directly. Hiding in the rear with support-type Soul Master Su Meng, he called out urgently.
"I got it!" Luo Wei's eyes lit up as she responded. She raised her pink longbow, and her sixth soul ring glowed. A shimmering pink arrow formed on the bowstring.
"Everyone, give Luo Wei a chance!" Zhang Lexuan commanded, activating her fourth soul ring. Gorgeous moonlight descended, landing on the python's body and halting its movements for a moment.
Han Ruoruo's ropes bound it again, while Zhang Weiwei's sixth soul ring lit up—an enormous eye appeared in the sky, firing a ray of pure light at the beast.
Others surrounded the massive serpent, launching attacks however they could.
The python's eyes blazed with fury. Its rigid body began to twitch again, and suddenly its scales turned into reflective mirrors, blocking all moonlight. Zhang Lexuan's proud fourth soul skill had no effect.
Han Ruoruo's ropes failed again, but Zhang Weiwei's sixth soul skill struck true.
Her sixth soul skill originated from a thirty-thousand-year Evil Eye Tyrant and was a spiritual-type attack evolved from the Evil Eye's condensed ray. Anyone hit by it would fall into a dazed state for at least three seconds.
Although the python's cultivation far surpassed Zhang Weiwei's, even being stunned for one second was a tremendous success—and one second was all Luo Wei needed.
"Hit!" Luo Wei whispered, eyes sharp like lightning. She released the arrow.
The crystal-like pink arrow tore through the air with unstoppable force and frightening sharpness, striking the seventh scale beneath the python's jaw with precision. The arrow sank deep into its flesh.
"Yes!" Everyone cheered, smiles appearing on their faces. Su Meng even shouted in excitement.
However, Zhang Lexuan, Zhang Weiwei, and Zhu Ziyang remained tense. There was no joy in their eyes.
Even Luo Wei's strongest attack had only inflicted limited damage. It wasn't enough to decide the battle. A hundred-thousand-year soul beast wasn't so easy to kill.
The searing pain instantly triggered the python's rage. Its eyes blazed with fury—these damned ants were beyond annoying!
Its enormous body coiled up in an instant. Its massive head rose and loomed over the group. With a gaping maw, it unleashed a terrifying silver-white energy beam. The pressure was so immense that all the trees and boulders nearby were sucked into it, shredded by its force.
Ghost Moon Shockwave!
"Everyone, dodge!" Zhang Lexuan's voice trembled as she shouted hoarsely.
