Intense roars and crashing sounds erupted from the competition stage. It was as if the undefeated captain of the Sun Moon Battle Team's reserve squad had finally met their match.
The roar of the Light Sacred Dragon intertwined with the trumpeting of the Diamond Mammoth. Bei Bei and Hu Yanbashan, one attacking and one defending, complemented each other perfectly.
However, with a single punch to the sky from Xu Tianxi, Hu Yanbashan, who relied on gravity and his weight to unleash powerful force, was instantly blasted away. The only cost to Xu Tianxi was his right foot sinking into the ground, creating a deep crater.
"Look at this claw!"
Amidst flashing electrical arcs, Bei Bei's Thunder Dragon Claw howled forward. Xu Tianxi dodged the attack, then spun halfway around, sweeping his spear horizontally. The spearhead shot straight for Bei Bei's waist and abdomen, accompanied by a dull whooshing sound.
"Thunder's Fury, Thunderbolt!"
A look of determination appeared on Bei Bei's refined face. His Second Soul Ring and Third Soul Ring lit up simultaneously. Thousands of lightning snakes condensed within a meter radius of his palms, blocking Xu Tianxi's spear, which struck like a serpent flicking its tongue.
"Bang—!"
The clang of metal reverberated. Bei Bei, empowered by the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, Thunder's Fury, and the Overlord Thunder Domain of the Light Sacred Dragon, blocked the spear. However, he couldn't stop himself from retreating, his feet leaving seven or eight-meter-long marks on the competition stage.
Xu Tianxi seemed surprised that one spear strike hadn't taken Bei Bei out. He said, "Since the start of the competition, you're the first person to take a spear strike from me and not fall. Not bad."
Compared to the fragile Soul Engineers like Mijia and Li Yan, Bei Bei's physique was clearly much stronger. The physical enhancement from his Martial Soul alone was incomparable.
Bei Bei gave a defiant smile, wiping his mouth. "I'm a Soul Master, and you're a Soul Engineer. If I can't even take one of your spear strikes, what face do we have left to defend our championship?"
Xu Tianxi nodded in agreement. At the same time, he burst forward, grabbing his long spear. The cold glint of the spearhead shot straight for Bei Bei's head.
One spear wasn't enough, so another would follow.
Feeling a sudden sharp pain in his brow, Bei Bei activated his Overlord Thunder Domain, manipulating dozens, even hundreds, of golden lightning snakes to protect him, forming a wall of light in front of him.
*Whoosh—!* The full power of a Level 6 Soul Guided Device was unleashed. The lightning-shrouded spearhead, like a rapidly rotating turbine, broke through the thunder light wall with unstoppable force, as if piercing a thin sheet of paper.
Bei Bei knew he didn't have time to activate a Soul Skill. He quickly brought his Dragon Scale-covered claws across his body, a look of twisted madness appearing on his face. He intended to directly block the incoming spearhead head-on.
A flicker of surprise crossed Xu Tianxi's eyes, but the spearhead's speed didn't slacken in the slightest.
*Clang~!*
Dragon claws met spearhead, and the sound of metal reverberated. Bei Bei's Dragon Transformation-enhanced arms bulged with muscle, and the sleeves of his arms instantly shredded.
For the first time, Bei Bei experienced a surge of lightning power even more intense than his own acting upon his body. Excruciating pain shot through his fingers.
His hands split, his features distorted, and the pain was hard to conceal.
"If you don't let go, are you trying to die? You're no match for me!" Xu Tianxi roared.
"Even if it costs me half my life, I'll hold you here!"
Bei Bei, his dragon claws now bloody, clung on desperately, instead pushing his Soul Power to its limit. Golden lightning, swift and violent, surged from the spearhead down the shaft. The Overlord Thunder Domain beneath his feet also steamed with new thunderclouds, enveloping Xu Tianxi.
"Seniors, hurry and attack! Take him down!" Bei Bei, his face contorted in pain from burning his Soul Power, shouted.
"Hm?" Xu Tianxi's eyes lit up. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Yu Yang, who was fighting Meng Hongchen alongside Jiang Nannan, and Ma Xiaotao in the air, both make a move, their Fifth Soul Rings glowing brightly.
Hu Yanbashan, who Xu Tianxi had blasted away earlier, also picked himself up, patting his fleshy body, and lit up his Fourth and Fifth Soul Rings.
"Fifth Soul Skill, Thunder Blast Kill!"
"Fifth Soul Skill, Phoenix Cloud Piercing Strike!"
"Fourth Soul Skill, Mammoth Body Protection! Fifth Soul Skill, Diamond Fortress!"
Jiang Nannan used Invincible Golden Body and Teleportation to forcibly close in on Meng Hongchen, creating an opportunity for Yu Yang to temporarily disengage from the battle.
Yu Yang's Serpent Spear swayed in the wind. Several layers of lightning shot from his wrist, spreading from the inside out along the Serpent Spear. Then, man and spear became one, striking at Ma Rulong and the other five. Lightning spread wildly, clearly an area-of-effect Soul Skill.
Hu Yanbashan leaped into the air, blocking in front of Ma Xiaotao. His entire body was covered in a layer of diamond armor, and behind him, a mammoth shadow trumpeted, while a giant diamond barrier condensed in front of him.
Ma Xiaotao's legs and right arm simultaneously glowed brightly, granting her the chance to quickly exit the battle. She flew directly towards Xu Tianxi, her peach-colored eyes filled with fervor.
"Witness Shrek's true foundation! Right arm Soul Bone skill, Phoenix Burst Strike!"
Her phoenix fire wings vibrated. A one-meter-long black phoenix flew from Ma Xiaotao's right arm, which was imbued with several skills, descending from the sky to strike Xu Tianxi.
This was a secret technique of Shrek's Inner Courtyard, combining the power of multiple Soul Skills into one. It was only suitable for Soul Masters like Ma Xiaotao who attacked with energy forms, and it was her strongest possible offensive move.
Shrek's strategy had always been clear: even if it meant temporarily sacrificing the three key combatants—Bei Bei, Hu Yanbashan, and Yu Yang—they had to take down Xu Tianxi.
Seeing Ma Xiaotao unleash an attack powerful enough to threaten a Soul Sage, most of the Evil Soul Masters gathered in Star Luo City expressed genuine admiration. Vice Cult Master Feng Ling couldn't help but smile:
"The Holy Maiden's combat power is indeed extraordinary. Once she joins the sect, she will cultivate with me day and night."
"Linger, for you to personally teach her, that's truly excellent, hahaha," Zhongli Wu clapped his hands and laughed.
The Evil Soul Masters were full of praise for Ma Xiaotao, but Xu Tianxi, targeted by Ma Xiaotao's attack, had a different perspective. A fiery glint flashed in his eyes.
"You can't take me down, and you, you lunatic, want to die, don't you? I'll grant your wish!"
With a *"crack"*, Xu Tianxi's Soul Power and strength were unleashed without restraint, gushing forth like a floodgate opening. His Soul Sage-level power instantly pierced through Bei Bei's tightly clamped dragon claws. The spearhead went straight through Bei Bei's chest, exiting from his back, as his face twisted in disbelief.
"How is this possible?"
Large sprays of blood spurted from Bei Bei's chest, obscuring his vision. He felt his body was no longer obeying him, as if he had entered a state of weightlessness.
"Ma Xiaotao, let's see if you dare to take him out first!"
Xu Tianxi exerted force through his spear, sending Bei Bei soaring upwards like a startled swan. Blood blossomed in mid-air in clusters, flying directly to meet the black fire phoenix Ma Xiaotao had unleashed with all her might.
"You bastard!"
Ma Xiaotao's eyes immediately reddened, and she cursed, but she had no choice but to risk a backlash of qi and blood to forcibly alter the trajectory of her Dark Phoenix attack, sending it high into the sky.
Seeing Bei Bei in mortal danger, Star Shattering Douluo immediately intervened, enveloping him in Star Shattering Light and teleporting him out of the arena.
Xu Tianxi ignored Ma Xiaotao's curses. A blue light surged beneath his feet, and he set off again at near-Teleportation speed, bare-handed, heading straight for Ling Luochen, who was positioned at the back of the Shrek Battle Team's seven members.
"Why are you coming for me?"
Ling Luochen only felt a flash before her eyes and then saw Xu Tianxi's direct punch, which broke through the air, hurtling towards her face at terrifying speed.
"Just passing by. I hit hard and move fast, so bear with me."
Xu Tianxi casually replied, quickening his pace. A dense Wind Element surged in his palm, secretly containing a fierce Lightning Element.
In a flash, Ling Luochen only had time to wrap herself in a layer of Ice Armor and raise her Ice Staff in front of her. Immediately, an unstoppable, terrifying force surged from the Ice Staff, making her head reel and shattering large sections of her Ice Armor.
"Bang!" "Ah~ya!"
Xu Tianxi followed up with another close-range palm strike. Ling Luochen immediately felt a terrifying energy, like a mountain flood, raging in her lower abdomen. Her Ice Armor shattered into dust, and the shock of the immense force combined with the stinging ice shards made her cry out, arching her body like a shrimp.
Having landed two successful blows, Xu Tianxi seized the opportunity to grab her ankle, spun 540 degrees in place, and with a flick of his wrist, flung her away. His target was Ning Tian, who had been hiding at the edge of the arena.
Ning Tian, who was controlling the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, saw her vision go black, completely obscured by Ling Luochen, who was now spinning like a Windmill. Her small face instantly turned pale. "How can someone fight like this?"
At that moment, countless spectators witnessed a scene that made their eyelids twitch. Kong Tianxi, bare-handed, displayed exquisite violent aesthetics. Not content with just making a beautiful, elegant ice-type beauty scream in agony, he actually used her as a weapon, swinging her like a Windmill and brutally smashing her towards Shrek's support Soul Master.
Poor Ning Tian was merely a delicate and frail little three-ring support Soul Elder. How could she withstand such a fleshy projectile attack?
With a loud "bang" and the intertwined screams of the two women, Ning Tian and Ling Luochen both fell out of the arena, unconscious.
Star Shattering Douluo's eyelids twitched as he watched, thinking, This kid is so ruthless towards beauties; he must be a tough guy who isn't interested in women.
Meanwhile, Yu Yang, the Serpent Spear Battle Soul King who had actively charged the Sun Moon Battle Team's five members, was grabbed and pinned to the ground by an enraged Ma Rulong after his Soul Skill power was exhausted. The Level 6 Soul Guided Device was put to good use, and within seconds, Yu Yang became a bloody mess.
"A mere Soul King dares to take on five? If I don't cripple you, I'm not named Ma!" Ma Rulong was furious and decided to use this guy to show off his skills as the main team captain.
Hu Yanbashan, who had been blocking the Sun Moon Battle Team's bombardment in place of Ma Xiaotao, resisted the firepower led by Xiao Hongchen alone after Ma Xiaotao retreated by gliding and Ling Luochen turned into a Windmill. His Diamond Armor shattered, and his large, muscular body was blasted into a bloody mess, falling onto the arena like a pile of rotting flesh.
"You're big and tough, huh? Let's see how much longer you can last!"
Xiao Hongchen jumped within three meters of Hu Yanbashan and opened fire. The cannon fire created a large spray of blood. Star Shattering Douluo, quick-witted, snatched the dying Hu Yanbashan away.
If he hadn't, Hu Yanbashan would have been cannon-blasted by Xiao Hongchen.
The battle between Meng Hongchen and Jiang Nannan also reached its end. Although Jiang Nannan's Invincible Golden Body and Teleportation abilities initially made Meng Hongchen feel helpless, Ma Xiaotao's critical hit on Xu Tianxi spurred her on. The cold poison in her palm surged, making Jiang Nannan's head swell and rapidly diminishing her combat power.
"Swish, swish!"
Meng Hongchen struck left and right, almost spinning the previously elusive Jiang Nannan into a top. The scene was unbearable to watch.
The three members of the Xuanming Sect, who knew the details of the two women, watched from afar, their expressions becoming very strange.
In a sense, this was the future sister-in-law brutally beating the future second sister-in-law, showing no mercy and aiming for fatal blows.
Fortunately, Xu Sanshi was recovering from injuries at home and didn't come; otherwise, the situation would have been awkward.
For a moment, the Shrek Battle Team was left with only one remaining active combatant, and she had no intention of giving up.
"You bastard who used Bei Bei as a shield, I will never let you off!"
Ma Xiaotao's frenzied voice, filled with rage, came from above Xu Tianxi's head. Xu Tianxi looked up and smiled provocatively:
"Shrek's thousand-year championship is about to change hands. Your companions are almost finished. What can you do by yourself? Unleash another big move that almost killed your own people?"
