Chapter 197 Martial Soul Fusion Skill: Netherworld White Tiger (Part 2)

"Xiao Wu, be careful." A sudden pang of fear rose in Tang San's heart, and he almost instinctively warned Xiao Wu. He suddenly remembered something: the two Xuanwu Turtle Soul Masters hadn't used their third soul skill at all. As powerful defensive spirits, how could they have abandoned their defenses after throwing out their tortoise shells?

Just as Tang San had predicted, the two Xuanwu Turtle Soul Masters, whose expressions were solemn, simultaneously shone with purple light, activating their thousand-year soul ring techniques.

Xiao Wu naturally heard Tang San's shouts, but with her body suspended in mid-air, she couldn't change her forward momentum. At this critical moment, Xiao Wu also demonstrated her quick reflexes. Her second and third spirit rings shone simultaneously. Her beautiful eyes fixed on Shi Mo to her left, glowing with a strong red light.

The second skill of the Soft-Boned Rabbit, Charm, inflicts a stunned state on the opponent based on their mental state. The duration of the stunned state depends on the difference in mental strength between the two parties. If the difference in mental strength is too great, it will cause a backlash.

Like Zhao Wuji back then, who directly countered Xiao Wu's charm ability. However, the two Xuanwu Turtle Soul Masters in front of them were clearly not that much weaker than Xiao Wu. Although the stun time would be very short, Xiao Wu's soul skill that burst out in that instant still achieved the desired effect.

Shi Mo froze for a moment, and the purple light around him dimmed slightly. Taking advantage of this fleeting opportunity, Xiao Wu activated her teleportation skill. Although she was still rushing forward, she used her teleportation ability to move five meters to the side, avoiding a direct confrontation.

Luring the enemy deep into their territory—this was a method Tang San had previously used against Yu Tianheng, but now the Shi brothers were using it against Xiao Wu. The true terror of the Xuanwu Turtle Soul Masters' third soul ring skill was only revealed after it was activated.

The four tortoise shells that had cut through Tang San's Blue Silver Grass suddenly retracted at a speed imperceptible to the naked eye. Each piece of the shell, illuminated by purple light, suddenly exploded into sixteen rhomboid fragments, which shot out instantly, almost sealing off the entire area in front of the two Xuanwu Turtle Soul Masters.

If Xiao Wu still had Tang San's Blue Silver Grass around her waist, perhaps Tang San could have pulled her back. But now, she was in mid-air, and she had nothing to rely on.

The Xuanwu Turtle Soul Master's "Turtle Shell Explosion" soul skill is an area-of-effect attack, primarily used for protecting oneself and attacking enemies.

The Shi brothers' tortoise shells shattered into thirty-two pieces each, spinning violently within a ten-square-meter area around their bodies. The intense whooshing sound distorted the air within the area covered by the shells, making it look like a giant meat grinder.

The Shi brothers had somehow separated laterally, allowing the third soul skill, Tortoise Shell Dance, to be used to its fullest potential and preventing them from colliding with each other.

Xiao Wu shifted five meters to the side, avoiding the tortoise shell directly, but not completely escaping its attack. Her delicate body tumbled in the air, blood splattering everywhere. With a miserable groan, Xiao Wu was lifted by the force of the tortoise shell, spinning several times horizontally before crashing to the ground.

Seeing Xiao Wu fall into the range of the opponent's Tortoise Shell Whirlwind attack, Tang San was terrified and could no longer remain calm. "Xiao Wu!"

The Blue Silver Grass finally caught up with Xiao Wu, who had fallen behind, wrapped around her waist, and quickly pulled her back.

Xiao Wu's eyes were tightly closed, her body trembling violently. Flesh and blood were torn and ripped from her right arm, right side of her waist, and thigh, staining half her body crimson. Even more serious was the fact that the Xuanwu Turtle Soul Master's soul power had penetrated her body, damaging her internal organs.

Tang San's heart almost stopped. He quickly tapped around Xiao Wu's wound with his right hand to seal her blood vessels and prevent her from bleeding too much. He placed his other hand on Xiao Wu's back and quickly channeled his gentle Xuan Tian Gong soul power into her, combining it with Xiao Wu's own soul power to expel the invading energy.

The tortoise shells fused together in mid-air, reforming and covering the two Xuanwu Turtle Soul Masters. Their attack had achieved great success, not only severing the connection between Tang San and the other members of the Shrek Seven Devils, but also severely injuring Xiao Wu.

The Shi brothers hadn't originally planned to use their third soul skill, since Qin Ming had previously warned them not to harm their opponents.

However, Yu Tianheng's serious injury also enraged them. Although they did not show it on the surface, they were actually furious, which led to their all-out attack.

"Go!" Dugu Yan shouted, spitting out another mouthful of thick fog, making the poisonous fog on the Soul Arena even more concentrated. Oscar's little sausage was already starting to lose its effectiveness.

Two Xuanwu Turtle Soul Masters strode towards Tang San. They knew very well that as long as they could defeat this control-type Soul Master, then today's team battle would be over.

The Royal Fighting Team also coordinated perfectly. Seeing that Xiao Wu was injured and Tang San was about to face the combined attack of two Xuanwu Turtle Soul Masters and the support of the Jade Phosphorous Serpent behind him, they launched a full-scale attack on the rest of the Shrek Seven Devils. Their goal was simple: to prevent them from having the opportunity to rescue Tang San.

Xiao Wu's injury also ignited the anger of the Shrek Seven Devils. Ma Hongjun no longer cared about conserving his soul power. Phoenix Fire Lines drew a terrifying fiery scroll in the air and attacked the Wind Chime Bird Soul Master Yu Feng.

"The wind rises and the clouds surge." At the critical moment, Yu Feng no longer held back. His purple soul ring shone brightly and floated in mid-air. His wings vibrated violently, and a layer of azure cloud-like soul power fluctuations was suddenly released, striking down towards Ma Hongjun's Phoenix Fire Line.

The azure soul power condensed in the air into a giant bird shape and swooped down, colliding violently with Ma Hongjun's Phoenix Fire Line.

"Ah—" The immense pressure and Xiao Wu's injury completely ignited the ferocity within Ma Hongjun. Although his soul power was much weaker than his opponent's, at this moment, the phoenix flames on his body burned intensely with unparalleled fervor.

Phoenix Reborn in Flames activated its full power, grabbing a handful of sausages from Little O's hand and popping them into its mouth. It then unleashed another torrent of intense flames.

Ma Hongjun knew very well that he wasn't alone; Oscar and Ning Rongrong were also on his side. If he couldn't withstand the opponent's soul skills, the support of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda would immediately disappear, putting his side at a greater disadvantage.

Under Ma Hongjun's extreme burst of power, the purplish-red flames gradually turned into a deep purple. The third soul skill, which should have broken through the flames, was forcibly blocked. The bird's body, which was clearly in the form of energy, actually began to show signs of burning.

Yu Feng sensed a peculiar pressure emanating from Ma Hongjun, an irresistible and powerful pressure emanating from the depths of his heart. Despite his rich combat experience, this was the first time he had encountered such a situation.

He was, of course, unaware that the situation was similar to the one Tang San had faced with the spider-woman soul master from the Berserker Team. This was the pressure generated by the level of one's martial soul.

Ma Hongjun's martial soul is the Phoenix, albeit a Fire Phoenix, which is still a type of Phoenix. The Phoenix is ​​the king of birds, a powerful being that rules the sky. Naturally, it is far superior in rank to the Wind Chime Bird.

Therefore, although Yu Feng's soul power was much higher than Ma Hongjun's, the pressure between these martial souls was still unavoidable.

Of course, it was precisely because of the difference in soul power between the two sides that this situation occurred when Ma Hongjun's own potential was fully unleashed.

"Zhu Qing, Netherworld White Tiger!" Dai Mubai roared. As the captain of the Shrek Seven Devils, how could he not be furious seeing Xiao Wu injured? At this moment, he finally stopped holding back.

Before this team battle, the master had said that if the Shrek Seven Devils wanted to win this battle, the key lay with Dai Mubai, Zhu Zhuqing, and Tang San.

The Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing he referred to weren't referring to their actual strength. After all, Dai Mubai was slightly weaker than Yu Tianheng. His reason for saying this was because of the secret between Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing: the secret of spirit fusion.

Accompanied by a tiger's roar, Dai Mubai, who was already in the White Tiger Vajra Transformation state, expanded his body again, with white fur mixed with black tiger stripes surging out wildly from his body.

Zhu Zhuqing bit her lip, her entire body enveloped in a faint black light, her form ethereal, appearing almost transparent. She charged towards Dai Mubai.

Seeing the changes in the two, Yu Tianheng was shocked. "Not good, it's a Martial Soul Fusion Technique! Osro, go all out!"

At this moment, Yu Tianheng could no longer care about his soul power dropping to a dangerous state. He forcibly ignited the Thunderous Fury, which was already gradually becoming unsustainable, even when it was almost exhausted. He raised his huge dragon arm and, with a dragon's roar, unleashed another thunderous attack.

This time, in order to stop Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing, he used his last bit of soul power to forcibly restrain the thunderous energy and direct it only towards the two of them.

The third spirit ring on the Black Panther Spirit Master Osro also ignited, and his vertical pupils instantly contracted. Amidst the swirling purple light of the spirit ring, the bones on his body crackled and popped, and a leopard-shaped light and shadow separated from his body, crashing towards Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing.

Black Panther Soul Master's third Soul Ring Skill, Panther Shadow Clone, is activated.

Neither Zhu Zhuqing nor Dai Mubai looked at their opponent. Their eyes were focused on each other. At this moment, Dai Mubai only had eyes for Zhu Zhuqing. He opened his arms and faced Zhu Zhuqing's illusory figure.
