Douluo Continent: Little Huo Niang Taken Away by Di Tian

"Ding ding ding!"

Every time Qingqing's dagger was about to pierce Tang Ya, it would be deflected by the suddenly sprang-out blue silver grass.

She moved like a butterfly flitting among flowers, her figure elusive, trying to find a flaw from every angle.

However, Tang Ya's Purple Demon Eyes were locked onto her true form, and the Blue Silver Grass's defenses adjusted accordingly. No matter how Qingqing tried to break through, she was unable to penetrate the green defenses.

Back and forth, dozens of rounds had passed in the blink of an eye.

Despite her speed advantage, Qingqing couldn't reach Tang Ya's clothes. After a prolonged and fruitless attack, her soul power was greatly depleted, and her breathing became increasingly rapid.

Although Tang Ya's defense was solid, she was constantly urging her soul power to maintain the Blue Silver Grass, and fine beads of sweat appeared on her forehead.

Just as Qingqing was exhausted, a glint of light flashed in Tang Ya's eyes!

"Now! Blue Silver Cage!"

Her spirit rings suddenly lit up, and several thick blue silver grasses instantly emerged from the ground and void, centered on Qingqing. They quickly intertwined and wove like serpents, trapping Qingqing firmly in a small blue cage in the blink of an eye!

Qingqing struggled desperately, but the Blue Silver Grass was extremely resilient, and the more she struggled, the tighter it became.

"I give up!" Qingqing shouted helplessly.

"Tang Yasheng, the Spirit Pagoda scores one point, bringing the total to six! The next contestant from Mingyu Sect will enter the arena in one minute!" the referee announced.

Tang Ya let out a long breath, but as soon as she relaxed, a wave of intense fatigue washed over her. She quickly raised her hand, her voice panting, "Referee, I concede the next match. My soul power is exhausted; I need to recuperate."

Zheng Zhan looked at Tang Ya's pale face and nodded knowingly. Then the new referee said, "Granted. Because contestant Tang Ya voluntarily conceded, Ming Yu Zong gains one point, bringing their total to four points! Next match, both contestants, prepare!"

"Spirit Pagoda, Jiang Nannan!"

"Mingyu Sect, Cain."

Upon entering the arena, Cain did not rush to attack. Instead, he said, "I have a suggestion. Your captain, Huo Yutong, and I will settle this with a duel. If she wins, Mingyu Sect will concede the subsequent team battle; conversely, if I win, your team battle will be canceled, and you can simply concede defeat."

These words shocked everyone present. This was a desperate move by the Mingyu Sect—You Chen and A De were still seriously injured, Qin Mingyue and Chen Jun were fighting with injuries, and Xue Bing and Qingqing's soul power was almost exhausted.

Cain was gambling, gambling on her foundation as a six-ring Soul Emperor, gambling on the way to counter her mutated martial soul.

"Please allow me to ask the captain," Jiang Nannan calmly replied, then turned to the referee, "Chief Referee, our team needs to confirm the captain's opinion!"

Zheng Zhan nodded, and the new referee beside him took a deep breath and loudly repeated the proposal to the entire audience.

A moment later, a voice came from the Spirit Transmission Tower seat: "I agree."

"By agreement between the two team captains, Jiang Nannan concedes defeat! Ming Yuzong scores one point, bringing the total to five!" The new referee's voice boomed. "One minute later, Huo Yutong from the Spirit Pagoda will enter the arena—this battle will determine the team's victory!"

"Please welcome both players to the stage!"

"Spirit Pagoda, Huo Yutong!"

"Mingyu Sect, Cain!"

"The match begins!"

As soon as the whistle blew, Zheng Zhan raised his hand and lowered two thick soul power barriers, firmly protecting himself and the new referee. Lessons learned from the past must be heeded.

However, the expected violent attack did not occur.

Cain stood in the center of the field and slowly closed his eyes.

Her martial soul is a mutated two-headed blood bat king, and at this moment her first soul ring lights up—"Sonic Wave Detection"!

Invisible high-frequency oscillations spread out from themselves, constructing a precise auditory map.

Since illusions can deceive the eyes, let's completely abandon sight and use sound to locate!

In the previous battle, Huo Yutong's soul skills had already become a hot topic among the people of Mingdu. Now that she has reappeared, the pressure is immense.

With his eyes closed, Huo Yutong's location was completely revealed.

The stealthy form suddenly blurred, its claws tearing through the air as it struck its opponent's vitals!

Huo Yutong stood still, her eyes expressionless.

Her Spirit Eyes primarily govern the mind, making direct, forceful attacks less effective. However, if she were to utilize her second Martial Soul… she subtly moved her fingertips, and a wisp of extremely cold energy quietly dissipated.

The next moment!

The Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion Martial Soul was revealed! The scorpion tail, shimmering with emerald light, pointed to the sky like a sword, while two 100,000-year soul rings, each wrapped with a golden pattern and as rich as blood diamonds, slowly rose and fell.

Twin Martial Souls! Two 100,000-year Soul Rings!

"boom--!"

The audience erupted in cheers! The screams nearly lifted the ceiling!

"First Soul Skill, Ice Emperor's Claw!"

Huo Yutong's arms instantly transformed into a pair of giant scorpion pincers, covered in emerald-like crystal ice armor, which precisely blocked the attack!

"Clang!"

The sharp claws and scorpion pincers collided, producing a metallic tremor.

Cain felt a bone-chilling cold seep into his arm, so intense that even his soul power seemed to freeze!

Before she could get away, the ice and snow beneath Huo Yutong's feet shattered—Torso Soul Bone Technique, Eternal Frozen Domain!

In an instant, the entire arena transformed into an extremely cold and desolate place!

A layer of azure ice formed on the ground, and the water vapor suspended in the air instantly crystallized. Even the surface of the soul power barrier set up by Zheng Zhan was covered with frost flowers.

"Hiss... This, this is the ultimate ice?!" Zheng Zhan gasped, frantically circulating his soul power to resist the cold, inwardly cursing: Is this girl trying to freeze me into an ice sculpture?!

The new referee beside him was in an even worse state, his lips purple, trembling and sneezing: "Ha...achoo!"

Cain grunted and retreated several steps before his body suddenly disintegrated!

Countless tiny bat clones, each the size of a palm, swarmed towards Huo Yutong, attempting to overwhelm her with sheer numbers!

"In vain."

Huo Yutong whispered. The Frozen Domain expanded once more, and the temperature plummeted!

The swarm of bats that rushed towards her didn't even have time to get within ten steps before they were frozen into ice sculptures by the extreme cold, falling like raindrops and shattering on the ice.

The dust settled, revealing ice crystals and bat carcasses scattered everywhere.

With a light snap of her fingertips, Huo Yutong slightly reduced the extreme chill that enveloped the entire area.

The frozen bat corpses shattered, revealing Cain's true form curled up on the ground, covered in frost, and long since unconscious.

"Huo Yutong wins! Ha... Achoo!" The new referee, his nose red from the cold, shouted tremblingly, "As agreed before the match, the Spirit Pagoda... Achoo... wins this round of the team competition! The final score... Achoo... twelve to five!"

The entire stadium fell silent for a moment, then erupted in deafening cheers.

The atmosphere in Mingyuzong's private medical room was so heavy it was almost palpable.

Under the dim light of the soul-guiding lamp, You Chen leaned against the headboard with a pale face. Ade was still unconscious. Although Cain had woken up, the coldness in his body had not dissipated, and he was still shivering slightly despite being wrapped in a thick blanket.

Qin Mingyue, Chen Jun, Xue Bing, and Qingqing surrounded the hospital bed.

Before anyone knew it, an old man dressed in a long black robe had appeared, standing silently beside Cain's sickbed like a ghost.

Cain's pupils contracted slightly, and he asked in a deep voice, "Who are you, senior? Why have you trespassed into my Mingyu Sect's recuperation room?"

"No need to be nervous. I am Zhang Peng, the leader of the Holy Spirit Cult's team this time, and my title is Scorpion Tiger."

"My cult leader is very interested in you two siblings. He specifically ordered me to convey that once you have recovered from your injuries, I will take you to see him."

As soon as he finished speaking, the figure of the black-robed elder vanished into thin air like wisps of smoke, leaving only the Mingyu Sect members looking at each other in bewilderment.
