Chapter 205: Let's see how I deal with you

In the camp, everyone except Liu Erlong, who seemed slightly troubled, wore smiles on their faces. This included even Yu Xiaogang and Flender. After all, they had just entered the Sunset Forest, and one-third of their mission to obtain soul rings had already been completed.

If this momentum continued, it wouldn't be long before they left the Sunset Forest and prepared to participate in the Continental Elite Young Soul Master Tournament!

However, just as the atmosphere was peaceful, a dark figure slowly emerged from the dense forest.

The footsteps were light, but they still caught the attention of Tang San and the others. When they saw who it was, their pupils contracted sharply.

It was Xiao Tianyang.

'I can't afford to mess with the big ones, so I'll deal with the small ones,' Xiao Tianyang thought to himself, feeling a sense of pride. 'Let's see how I deal with you!'

"I waited for you to finish absorbing your soul rings and spent nearly an hour discussing the battle plan," Xiao Tianyang said as he removed the Cong Yunqi from his back and let the blade fall to the ground.

"Now, you have three minutes to prepare. During this time, I will not move, I will not attack, I will only defend. Let's begin!"

"Assemble, Formation Number One!" Tang San commanded almost immediately. "Follow the fifth battle plan we discussed earlier. Zhuqing, go!"

In an instant, Tang San and the other seven members of the Shrek Seven Monsters lined up. It was clear that, even in an unexpected situation like this, the seven of them were more than capable of handling it.

Following Tang San's command, Zhu Zhuqing leaped out from behind Dai Mubai. As her spirit possessed her, the third soul ring on her body lit up.

"Third Soul Skill: Nether Decapitation!"

A blade of light erupted from the tips of Zhu Zhuqing's claws, slashing downward in a straight line toward Xiao Tianyang.

Xiao Tianyang simply raised his arm slightly, lifting the Cong Yunqi diagonally to block the attack.

"Clang!"

The light blade struck the edge of the blade, producing a crisp metallic sound. But that was all.

Xiao Tianyang merely shook his hand, and the light blade shattered into tiny fragments, dissipating into the air without causing any damage.

"It have enough strength, but not enough soul power," Xiao Tianyang commented in a hoarse voice. "You are not an assassin."

At that moment, a ball of light exploded in front of Xiao Tianyang's chest. Dai Mubai had appeared before him without warning.

The ball of light was his second soul skill, White Tiger Intense Light Wave. But this was just the beginning.

"First Soul Skill: White Tiger Shield Body Barrier!"

"Third Soul Skill: White Tiger Vajra Transformation!"

After unleashing his second soul skill, Dai Mubai immediately activated his first and third soul rings to boost his combat power.

Not only that, but Ning Rongrong's Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda had also enhanced his abilities, and he had likely consumed one of Oscar's Stimulating Pink Sausage before engaging in the fight.

In other words, Dai Mubai's combat power at this moment far surpassed his usual strength.

To put it simply, Dai Mubai was currently in the strongest state among the Shrek Seven Monsters.

"Fourth Soul Skill: White Tiger Meteor Shower!"

Dai Mubai let out a thunderous roar, resembling the king of the forest, his presence exuding overwhelming pressure.

The golden "king" character on his forehead shone brightly, as if inscribed by a divine hand, radiating an intimidating aura.

Yet, all of this was useless against Xiao Tianyang.

"Your momentum is impressive, and your timing is perfect, but unfortunately, your speed is too slow, and your strength is insufficient," Xiao Tianyang said indifferently, not even bothering to counterattack as he allowed Dai Mubai's strikes to land on him.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

The more Dai Mubai attacked, the more sweat dripped from his forehead.

It wasn't due to physical exhaustion or the depletion of his soul power, but rather because his attacks had no effect whatsoever.

Xiao Tianyang simply stood there, unmoving, like an immovable mountain. It felt like an ordinary person trying to tear down a city wall—utterly futile and hopeless.

At that moment, Xiao Wu teleported behind Xiao Tianyang.

With one hand, she grabbed his black robe, and with the other, she placed her foot against his waist. It was clear that she was preparing to execute her soul skill Waist Bow.

What's more, her signature move, the Eight Stage Drop, was actually her first soul skill. And thanks to Xiao Tianyang's repeated guidance, Xiao Wu's Eight Stage Drop had become not only precise but also ruthless.

Xiao Wu had incorporated techniques from various martial arts, including judo, karate, Jeet Kune Do, and wrestling. Once the Eight Stage Drop was initiated, unless the gap in strength was too large, the opponent would either die or be severely injured.

Of course, ever since Tang San realized that the Eight Stage Drop required close physical contact, he had forbidden Xiao Wu from using it against outsiders. But now, there was no other choice.

Moreover, the "Edward" that Xiao Tianyang was portraying had a gloomy and taciturn personality, and his body was tightly wrapped in clothing. Even if there was physical contact, he likely wouldn't care.

It was for this reason that Tang San didn't stop Xiao Wu.

However, something embarrassing happened.

Just as everyone thought they had succeeded and that Xiao Wu could execute the Eight Stage Drop, their faces filled with excitement.

But in reality, Xiao Wu was frozen in place. Despite her pretty face turning red from exertion, she couldn't budge Xiao Tianyang even slightly.

"One and a half minutes left. You'd better hurry up," Xiao Tianyang said, ignoring Xiao Wu behind him as he spoke amidst the complicated expressions of the others.

"Brother Dai, Xiao Wu, retreat! Fatty, it's your turn!" Tang San commanded while pressing one hand against the ground.

In the next moment, the first and third soul rings on his body lit up.

"First soul skill: Bind!"

"Third soul skill: Spider Web Restraint!"

First, the ground split open as Blue Silver Grass surged forth, wrapping around Xiao Tianyang. Then, a large net woven from Blue Silver Grass, resembling a spider's web, descended upon him.

In an instant, Xiao Tianyang was almost completely entangled in the Blue Silver Grass, enduring both its binding force and the poison it secreted.

At the same time, Ma Hongjun activated all three of his soul rings.

"Second soul skill: Bathing Fire Phoenix!"

"Third soul skill: Phoenix Ascension!"

His second soul ring boosted his power, followed by his third soul ring, Phoenix Ascension.

Immediately after, he unleashed the fourth soul ring he had just obtained

"Fourth soul skill: Phoenix Roar Sky Strike!"

This soul skill was designed to strike a fixed target, and Xiao Tianyang, currently immobilized, fit the bill perfectly.

In Tang San's eyes, Xiao Tianyang must have used some special method to remain stationary, allowing Xiao Wu to fail in her attempt.

Tang San had sparred with Xiao Wu many times and knew just how powerful her Eight Stage Drop was, especially the initial Waist Bow, which never failed.

Even when they had fought against Zhao Wuji in the past, it had been somewhat effective.

But against Edward? It had no effect at all.

Therefore, to defeat Xiao Tianyang within the remaining time, Tang San's plan was to break through his current defense.

The best way to do that was to use Ma Hongjun's newly acquired fourth soul ring, Phoenix Roar Sky Strike.

Not only was it incredibly powerful, but it also had a stunning effect. If it hit, even if the opponent wasn't stunned, the combination of the flammable Blue Silver Grass and the flames of the Phoenix Roar Sky Strike would create a devastating effect.

They had tested this combination before with Ma Hongjun other soul skills, and the results were impressive. Even a seasoned defender like Zhao Wuji had suffered greatly from it.

This might be their last chance. If they failed, they would have to face the monstrous Edward head-on!
