Defeating the Bear-Leopard Duo

Facing the duo of the Bear and Leopard, Yang Xiong's speed was incredibly fast, so fast that he was even quicker than Wang Bao, whose martial soul was a black panther.

When Wang Bao tried to join in attacking Ning Rongrong, Yang Xiong gave a slight smile and said, "Both of you trying to attack our support? Aren't you overestimating yourselves a bit?"

In the blink of an eye, Yang Xiong reached an extreme speed and directly struck Wang Bao's shoulder with a claw. Five bloody gashes immediately appeared, and Wang Bao's speed slowed down significantly.

On the other side, although Ning Rongrong was agile, Li Meng was a battle soul master and quickly caught up with her.

Yang Xiong was splitting his focus, always keeping an eye on Li Meng and Ning Rongrong. Since he was charging toward Ning Rongrong along with Wang Bao, he decisively gave up on the injured Wang Bao and quickly blocked Li Meng in front of Ning Rongrong.

Yang Xiong and Li Meng exchanged blows. This time, Yang Xiong only took one step back, while Li Meng didn't step back at all, though Yang Xiong had rushed over in a hurry.

Li Meng shouted, "Kid, you're underestimating us! You think you can beat the two of us without even needing your support?"

Li Meng's first soul ring lit up. The Mighty Demon Bear roared as a giant bear came crashing down with immense force, his first soul skill: Demon Bear Blast Strike.

At the same time, Wang Bao's first soul ring also lit up. His black figure accelerated sharply, especially his sharp panther claws that looked like they could slice through air itself, his first soul skill: Panther Shadow Assault.

Surprisingly, both of them were not aiming for Yang Xiong but for Ning Rongrong behind him.

Ning Rongrong was stunned. She had never seen such a formation before.

Yang Xiong grabbed her hand and pushed hard, sending her flying six or seven meters away, safely outside the range of the incoming attacks. However, he now had to face both of them alone.

Both soul skills were approaching quickly and seemed extremely powerful.

Yang Xiong, however, smiled. He clenched his right fist, shaped his left hand like a claw, and both hands glowed with soul power, appearing silver as he met their attacks head-on.

The spectators gasped. Yang Xiong actually planned to block two soul skills with his bare hands, both of which were century-level soul skills.

Anyone with some insight could tell that Li Meng and Wang Bao weren't ordinary civilians. With two century-level soul rings each and only around twenty-five years old, they were clearly backed by some power, it would be impossible for mere civilians to achieve this.

Both also had excellent combat skills and experience, though their natural talent was somewhat lacking.

But Yang Xiong showed no fear and moved swiftly to intercept their attacks.

The impact was like a fierce clash. Yang Xiong was knocked back six or seven meters, but the two opponents were also pushed back about a meter. Clearly, Yang Xiong's combat strength was more terrifying than they had expected.

His silver fist collided with the giant bear paw, a pure test of strength. Meanwhile, his silver claw clashed with the panther's claw, seemingly filled with tearing power that even restrained the panther's attack.

On the stands, Dai Mubai and Tang San were stunned. As battle soul masters themselves, they had rarely seen someone using two different techniques with both hands simultaneously. Especially Tang San, a control-type soul master, knew that even his Blue Silver Grass couldn't perform at that level of finesse.

Yang Xiong's body was incredibly strong, able to take on two century-level soul skills head-on without injury. It was truly terrifying.

Although Yang Xiong had retreated quite a bit, he flipped like a hawk and shot forward even faster than before, this time targeting Wang Bao, who posed the greater threat.

Li Meng's Mighty Demon Bear had strong attacks but was relatively slow. Ning Rongrong had regained her composure and was now running quickly around the arena, trying to evade Li Meng.

Yang Xiong seemed very busy on the arena, constantly switching between chasing Wang Bao and aiding Ning Rongrong. The battle was intense.

Li Meng and Wang Bao coordinated very well, clearly experienced in fighting together.

Then, after another clash with Li Meng, Yang Xiong's speed suddenly increased again, he clearly wanted to take out Wang Bao in one move.

Seeing Yang Xiong's speed increase, Wang Bao didn't dare abandon him to chase Ning Rongrong. He used his second soul skill and split into two figures that rushed at Yang Xiong, faster and more powerful than before. These figures were semi-real, semi-illusory and explosive in force. This was Panther Shadow Clone Strike.

Yang Xiong smiled and extended his silver claw-like hands in two different forms, each targeting a panther figure.

After several quick clashes, Yang Xiong suddenly exerted force, his claws bursting with energy as he firmly grabbed both panther claws.

One of the figures vanished instantly, while the other let out the sound of bones cracking, it was Wang Bao's real body. Before he could react, Yang Xiong's other claw turned into a fist and smashed into his chest. Wang Bao collapsed onto the arena, foaming at the mouth. He was seriously injured.

Seeing his companion down, Li Meng abandoned Ning Rongrong and rushed to help. He activated his second soul skill, and his body became bulkier, a power-enhancing soul skill: Power of the Demon Bear.

Just as Yang Xiong defeated Wang Bao, Li Meng launched an all-out attack. The air itself seemed to explode as his strike headed straight for Yang Xiong's head with immense force.

But Yang Xiong reacted instantly. He twisted his body and formed a strange hand shape to block the attack. His palms began to move slowly, with a slight backward motion.

Li Meng felt like his full-powered strike had landed on cotton, as if all the force had been absorbed.

Yang Xiong's movements looked slow, but his hands wrapped around Li Meng's attacking right arm like soft cotton. Li Meng felt as if he were caught in a whirlpool, unable to control his own body.

Before he could respond, Yang Xiong's palms suddenly accelerated. With a light push, he deflected Li Meng's right arm and then punched him squarely in the chest. Even with his sturdy physique, Li Meng was sent flying.

This was Tai Chi Push Hands, a close-combat technique that dissolves fierce attacks with soft movements, then counters with sudden force.

Now only Li Meng remained. Yang Xiong's attacks became extremely fierce. Despite Li Meng's strong offense and defense, he had already used two soul skills and was clearly outmatched. Within less than a minute, Yang Xiong forced him out of the arena.
