Chapter 96: Trump Card

"Fourth Brother!"

The rest of the Black Evil Stopper Team was suddenly startled.

Just after a victory, with one team still remaining, everyone was a bit careless.

However, the four members of the Black Evil Stopper Team didn't expect it.

In the end, this team unexpectedly eliminated one of their own teammates with a single move.

"Trying to win against us like this? But even if it's four against five, you still don't stand a chance!"

The Captain of the Black Evil Stopper Team's expression was angry.

Not far away, Du Chaoping rubbed his nose, wondering how he got included in this?

Lin Xiu took care of one person, didn't pause, and actively confronted the Captain of the Black Evil Stopper Team.

Bang!

The two sides collided with a collision.

Lin Xiu took two steps back, while the Black Evil Stopper Team Captain took five steps back.

"Just as Bai Feng said, this guy has some strange strength, can't fight him head-on!"

The Black Evil Stopper Team Captain's thoughts raced as he actively kept his distance from Lin Xiu, not giving him a chance to get close.

The other three team members had already engaged Su Xiao, Leng Bai, and Xiu Yan respectively.

"Quickly deal with them and help the captain!"

"Don't hold back!"

"Got it!"

The three also witnessed the captain's retreat.

In recent days, Lin Xiu had been gaining momentum, with several veteran teams that were eliminated mentioning Lin Xiu's unexpectedly great strength.

Therefore, long before this, the Black Evil Stopper Team had prepared countermeasures.

At this moment, the captain's defensive stance was a signal.

Along with the eruption of the three, the aura of the 9 Star Dou Grandmasters pressed down on Su Xiao and the others like mountains.

Suddenly, Leng Bai was sweating on his forehead, and Xiu Yan's expression turned grim.

"You could have acted together, but you chose to wait until the end. Now you've garnered enough attention, let's see how you win?"

Onlookers like Lin Ge, seeing Su Xiao's trio fall into a disadvantage, felt a strange satisfaction.

Perhaps it was because his Fire Energy was stolen, hoping to see Lin Xiu suffer the same fate as him.

At this moment, other freshmen held their breath, watching attentively.

In the distance,

Han Yue of the White Evil Stopper Team, along with two elders and several veterans, all had their eyes fixed on Lin Xiu.

They all understood that the key to breaking the deadlock lay with Lin Xiu. If he couldn't defeat his opponent before others fell, he would be surrounded!

"It's a boon for Zhang Mu to take advantage of this. Injuring Lin Xiu himself is also a merit. After the match, I'll have to ask him for some Fire Energy!" Bai Feng thought to himself.

The Zhang Mu he mentioned is the captain of the Black Evil Stopper Team.

Chai Yan and Gu Zheng heard Bai Feng's whisper, glanced at him, with a hint of disdain and indignation in their eyes.

If this guy hadn't been so careless at the beginning, allowing Lin Xiu to be quickly dealt with, with their strength, they could have replicated the Black Evil Stopper Team's success. Why would they need to hand over their Fire Energy?

"The situation doesn't look good for Lin Xiu. Zhang Mu often battles in the Arena, experienced and focused on his goal. He can set aside his pride to win," Elder Zhao had some impression of Zhang Mu.

At this moment, Elder Li couldn't find any points to refute.

After all, Zhang Mu only needed to keep his distance from Lin Xiu to drag out the match and win.

"Captain, it seems it's not our turn yet," whispered a girl from the White Evil Stopper Team.

Han Yue pondered for a moment, "Since this Lin Xiu dares to counterattack and even instigate other freshmen, he must have some understanding of the Fire Energy Hunting Competition. Perhaps he still has some hidden cards."

However, what exactly is the trump card?

Isn't it time to use it yet? If we wait any longer, the other three won't be able to hold on.

Han Yue's beautiful eyes flickered with curiosity.

In the inner courtyard, she had once fought against Zhang Mu. He was not weak. When they were at the same level, they had fought for dozens of rounds. She narrowly won with a move to take him down.

"Junior Lin Xiu, it ends here. I won't give you a chance to get close," Captain Zhang Mu spoke calmly, showing no embarrassment about bullying freshmen.

After all, there are rules for the Fire Energy Hunting Competition, and he wasn't the one being watched.

"Whirlwind Strike!"

Lin Xiu didn't speak, but his left hand spun, a light green Dou Qi covering his arm, slowly condensing into a whirlwind.

The whirlwind accelerated, the sound of wind howling, sucking in the surrounding dust and fallen leaves.

"Do you want to compete in Dou Qi and Dou Technique? Then bring it on!" Zhang Mu just didn't want Lin Xiu to get close, but he had the intention to defeat Lin Xiu.

Seeing Lin Xiu using a Dou Technique, he didn't want to be outdone.

As a 9 Star Dou Grandmaster, his strength was close to half a step Dou Spirit. Whether it was Dou Qi or Dou Technique, he couldn't be weaker than a 2 Star Dou Grandmaster junior!

Zhang Mu's own Dou Qi was of the gold attribute, sharp in aura, exuding a sense of invincibility.

He placed both hands in front of his chest, gold Dou Qi condensed, and a golden spear slowly emerged.

"Go!"

With a sudden thrust, the golden spear shot out, colliding with the roaring whirlwind.

"Captain, is Zhang Mu using the same move as the Diamond Spear that almost defeated you before?" a member of the White Evil Stopper Team asked Han Yue.

Hearing this, Han Yue nodded, "Zhang Mu's gold attribute Dou Qi naturally carries a sharpness, combined with the Diamond Spear, it's impossible for Dou Grandmasters below 7 Stars to resist."

Fortunately, she had managed to avoid the edge back then, and at that time, Zhang Mu's control wasn't as proficient.

If they were to meet now, she would probably have to pay some price!

The golden spear, with an unstoppable momentum, shattered the whirlwind, sending clouds of dust and fluttering leaves into the air.

The battlefield was suddenly engulfed in dust.

"I can't see anything! Could it be that the whirlwind was just a distraction by Lin Xiu, and he actually intends to ambush while the vision is obstructed?"

Han Yue's eyebrows furrowed slightly, feeling that this possibility was high. However, Zhang Mu would certainly be cautious and wouldn't easily let Lin Xiu succeed.

"So, the move just now was a diversionary tactic. Junior, I'm not like Bai Feng, I won't be caught off guard by your sneak attacks!"

Zhang Mu's eyes darted around, alert to his surroundings, his ears perked up, his senses heightened to the maximum.

He didn't look ahead because the Diamond Spear was a Black Rank Mid-Level Dou Technique, coupled with gold attribute Dou Qi, it was irresistible. It was nearly impossible to charge through the force of the Diamond Spear head-on.

"Then... junior, where will you emerge from?" Zhang Mu remained vigilant on both sides.

Suddenly,

In the corner of his eye, there was a flash of lightning.

Zhang Mu focused his gaze, only to see a figure leaping high from the dust straight ahead, rapidly approaching.

It was Lin Xiu!

"Nine Heavens Thunder Slash!"

With both hands raised above his head, Lin Xiu's palms glowed with thunder, and a thunderbolt struck down fiercely.

Outside,

Everyone only heard a loud shout from within the dust, followed by a flash of lightning.

Wide-eyed, they watched as a figure was ejected backward, leaving them dumbfounded.

Zhang Mu's black robe was tattered, his hair standing on end, with a palm print on his chest, which had caved in.

"Captain!" exclaimed the members of the Black Evil Stopper Team in shock.

"Better focus on yourself for now."

Before he could contemplate further, he felt a strong gust of wind assaulting him from behind, chilling his spine and rushing towards his forehead.

!

Subsequently, his back received a blow, causing his Dou Qi Armor to shatter, and he tumbled forward.

The remaining two members of the Black Evil Stopper Team also fell one after another.

In the arena, Lin Xiu finally came to a stop.

His upper body clothing was in tatters, revealing a muscular physique with clear and defined muscle lines. On his right shoulder, blood oozed, dripping down and staining half of his body red.

"He actually withstood the onslaught of the Diamond Spear? Is he crazy?" With just a glance, Han Yue discerned the cause of Lin Xiu's injuries and couldn't help but be astonished.

After all, Lin Xiu's strength was far weaker than Zhang Mu's. Taking on his attack head-on, with the slightest mistake, could result in half of his body being shattered.

However, Han Yue quickly realized, "Lin Xiu has practiced a Dou Technique that strengthens his body! Is this your trump card? Then, the next battle will likely be a tough one!"
