Not bad!
Wu Changkong watched the three's fluid teamwork, nodding slightly, a rare hint of appreciation appearing on his usually cold face.
Xie Xie was extremely familiar with Jiang Yi's fighting style and quickly devised a countermeasure.
His loud shout just now seemed like a joke, but it was actually to lower Jiang Yi's guard.
First, he tricked Jiang Yi into revealing his first soul skill, then he took advantage of the weakness of the Fangtian Halberd's gigantic form, preventing Jiang Yi from quickly defending.
Then, Tang Wuling teleported close, forcing Jiang Yi to take the blow head-on.
But how could he possibly withstand Gu Yue's attack?
"Jiang Yi can avoid a beating if he surrenders now!"
Xie Xie's voice was filled with undisguised schadenfreude.
He had somehow circled behind Jiang Yi, the Light Dragon Dagger and Shadow Dragon Dagger crossed in front of his chest, two intertwined dragon shadows faintly visible between them, completely locking down the last escape route.
Jiang Yi usually always appeared calm and collected; it wouldn't be easy to see him suffer a setback.
"Heh, you're celebrating too soon."
However, Jiang Yi, caught in the crossfire, smiled faintly.
He simply gripped his halberd tightly and thrust it upwards to meet Tang Wuling's heavy hammer, completely ignoring the scorching fireballs.
Boom!
The heavy silver hammer and the halberd clashed violently, unleashing a deafening metallic clang. A violent shockwave rippled outwards from the point of impact, causing their clothes to flutter.
The hammer and halberd remained locked in a stalemate, time seemingly frozen in that moment.
Just then, Gu Yue's fireball arrived, its target Jiang Yi's wide-open chest.
"Hmm?" Wu
Changkong, watching from afar, frowned slightly, his fingertips gathering soul power, preparing to intervene. From his perspective, Jiang Yi couldn't possibly stop the three fireballs.
But the next moment...
A mournful, ferocious wolf howl erupted from Jiang Yi's body without warning. Immediately, a dense , almost impenetrable, crimson aura surged from his chest, lunging at the three fireballs like a living thing, devouring them completely, leaving only a few sparks.
*Clang! *
Jiang Yi's wrist suddenly tightened, his halberd slamming upwards, sending Tang Wuling flying.
*Thump! Thump! Thump!*
Tang Wuling landed, staggering back several steps before regaining her footing. Her hand gripping the hammer was slightly numb, and she was startled.
This was the first time she had been directly defeated by someone her age in terms of strength!
However, when she looked up and saw the scene before her, she froze, her red lips parted, speechless.
"What is this?"
Tang Wuling stood there blankly, muttering to herself.
The crimson light that had devoured the fireballs didn't dissipate; instead, it landed behind Jiang Yi, bursting forth with light, instantly transforming into a ferocious red wolf!
Its entire body was covered in dark red fur, as if soaked in blood. Standing, it stood over two meters tall at the shoulders and nearly five meters long. Its scarlet pupils held only the most primal killing intent.
Jiang Yi leaped lightly, performing a nimble backflip in mid-air, landing steadily on the giant wolf's broad back.
"The battle! It's only just begun!"
Jiang Yi held his halberd horizontally in front of him, his gaze fixed on the three. His aura perfectly blended with the red demon wolf beneath him, instantly amplifying his power.
His originally calm black eyes now held a wildness and untamed spirit identical to the giant wolf beneath him, and his aura became violent and domineering.
This was Jiang Yi's complete form!
Without a mount, how could he unleash the true power of his halberd!
"Unyielding Soul!"
Wu Changkong, who was watching the battle from the side, saw the red demon wolf, and his originally cold pupils suddenly contracted.
This powerful aura was definitely not something an artificial soul could possess.
Ten thousand years ago, when soul spirits were first created, they existed to assist soul masters in battle.
However, in the past ten thousand years, due to the advent of battle armor, the enhancement of soul spirits in combat has been greatly weakened.
In addition, the rapid decline in natural soul beasts and the fact that artificial soul spirits are far weaker than the original soul spirits of the past have also contributed to this.
Moreover, in battle, if a soul spirit is defeated, it will also have a great impact on the soul master's physical body.
Therefore, in recent years, spirit battles have gradually faded from duels between spirit masters, evolving into separate spirit battles.
Unexpectedly, Jiang Yi's spirit is so powerful!
*Whoosh! Whoosh!!*
On the field, Gu Yue unleashed a barrage of ice spikes and wind blades, overwhelming Jiang Yi.
But Jiang Yi merely swung his halberd lightly, and streaks of blood-red halberd light pierced the air, annihilating all the attacks.
After the appearance of the Greedy Wolf Spirit, Jiang Yi seemed to undergo a qualitative change, his violent aura sweeping across the entire field, like an ancient demon god.
Jiang Yi, straddling a demon wolf and wielding a blood-red giant halberd, exuded a terrifying pressure simply by standing there.
"This…"
Gu Yue's purple eyes narrowed slightly as she gazed at the demon-like Jiang Yi, her heart trembling slightly.
She seemed to have wronged Di Tian!
Look… does this human spirit master even have any humanity left?
"Holy crap! There's a second stage?"
Xie Xie's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets when he saw Jiang Yi's boss-like posture.
Damn it!
I'm reporting this! Someone's started it!
He looked at the twin daggers in his hand, then at Jiang Yi, who was sitting on a giant wolf wielding a halberd several meters long, and was dumbfounded.
You want me to fight this?
He's not even as big as one of the wolf's paws!
"Roar!"
The blood-red wolf let out a low roar, its claws scraping the ground, leaving deep furrows.
Jiang Yi lightly tapped the wolf's belly, and the wolf instantly transformed into a streak of red lightning, charging straight at Xie Xie.
Pick on the weak!
Of the three, only Xie Xie was on foot, making him easy prey!
The ground rumbled as Jiang Yi wielded his several-meter-long blood-red halberd, riding a giant wolf several meters long, charging like a prehistoric beast.
"Holy crap!"
Xie Xie exclaimed, turning to run away.
But on the field, a red shadow flashed by, and the next second, Jiang Yi, riding a demonic wolf, pounced.
Boundless crimson enveloped Xie Xie's world; his small body, under the shadow of the demonic wolf, resembled a tiny boat.
Whoosh!
At that moment, a flash of golden light, and Tang Wuling again attempted to teleport closer.
However, just as she teleported, a wolf's claw, accompanied by a bloody wind, swept back with astonishing speed, forcing Tang Wuling to teleport away again.
Boom!
The crimson halberd fell towards Xie Xie, striking the ground and raising a cloud of dust.
"Xie Xie is out!"
Wu Changkong's cold voice rang out. He had appeared on the field at some point, grabbing Xie Xie and dodging the attack.
"Phew!"
Xie Xie wiped the sweat from his forehead and exhaled.
His eyes, looking at Jiang Yi, were filled with horror; in that instant, he felt as if he had stepped into hell.
Xie Xie was taken out of the arena by Wu Changkong, leaving only three people on the field.
Jiang Yi, riding his demonic wolf, galloped across the arena, his halberd sweeping and claws striking, unleashing a torrent of attacks upon Gu Yue.
Gu Yue looked frustrated but helpless.
The red demonic wolf was too fast; before she could even unleash a large-scale elemental attack, the halberd was already slashing down, forcing her to constantly teleport to dodge.
As for Tang Wuling… she was like a useless husband, only able to harass her from the sidelines with her two giant hammers.
