As Yang Xiong was struck out of the red mist by the demoness, he collapsed to the ground, clearly unable to hold on any longer. His eyes had reverted from their previous purple hue back to a normal human color. His Xuanming Armor was covered in terrifying gashes, though it still hadn't shattered, an impressive testament to its durability.
However, Yang Xiong's hands were in much worse shape, riddled with cuts and even lightly bleeding.
The spectators couldn't help but gulp, Yang Xiong's combat ability was simply astonishing. To think he could fight the demoness for such a long time. After all, the demoness possessed combat strength equivalent to a top-tier Soul Emperor, while Yang Xiong was still just a quasi-Soul Sect.
The demoness moved with incredible speed and returned swiftly to the battlefield. With Yang Xiong no longer restraining her, the red mist quickly engulfed the remaining participants.
Gritting his teeth, Yang Xiong stood up once more. But at this point, his spiritual power was nearly depleted. He was no longer able to contend with the demoness and could only barely protect himself within the mist.
Shrek's team, which had a slight numerical advantage, suddenly found themselves caught in the red mist. All their senses seemed sealed, like being trapped in a swamp.
Screams soon echoed from within the mist, the demoness's speed was too fast, and the mental interference of the red mist made it impossible to resist her attacks.
Just then, Tang San, who had been suppressed earlier, suddenly erupted. A beam of blue light shot from his eyes directly at the demoness's head, his Purple Demon Eye, launched with full power.
The demoness reacted quickly and twisted her head, but still took the brunt of the attack on the side of her face, letting out a painful scream.
Despite this, she wasn't seriously injured. She immediately counterattacked with her twin crescent blades. Even though Tang San blocked with all his might using his Clear Sky Hammer, it was no use, after just a few strikes, the hammer was knocked away, and both blades stabbed viciously into his chest.
Tang San collapsed on the stage, full of unwillingness, completely spent in both energy and spirit.
Yang Xiong gritted his teeth and rushed to Ning Rongrong's side. Ignoring everyone else, he picked up the frightened girl and dashed off the stage.
The demoness snarled, seemingly holding deep hatred for Yang Xiong. "How dare you try to flee, Yang Xiong. I won't let you get away so easily!"
She sped after him like lightning, her crescent blades spinning rapidly in both hands as she launched her strongest self-created soul skill: Full Moon.
The spinning blades looked like whirling gears, impossible to block.
A silver light burst from Yang Xiong's Xuanming Armor, it was his soul bone skill: Impenetrable Fortress.
But even this couldn't hold for long under the demoness's relentless attacks. A sharp sound echoed as her crescent blades struck his shield again and again.
With a crisp shatter, the soul bone skill was finally broken by her ultimate technique.
Determined, Yang Xiong conjured a massive golden Rasengan in his right hand and hurled it at the demoness with all his strength. She slashed at him with full force in response.
The collision between the two abilities unleashed a terrifying shockwave. Both fighters were blasted away.
As the red mist gradually dispersed, Yang Xiong was left kneeling on one knee, completely drained of both soul power and spirit.
Hu Liena and Xie Yue had also separated, clearly injured and kneeling on the ground as well.
At this point, all of the Shrek team, except for Ning Rongrong who was only out of soul power, lay seriously wounded. Tang San was especially gravely injured. In contrast, the Spirit Hall team was in better shape, Yan still retained some strength, and several other Soul Sects were still standing.
Yang Xiong clenched his jaw. "We concede."
Hu Liena stared at him. "I didn't expect a quasi-Soul Sect to fight so fiercely. It's a shame you had to face us."
Yang Xiong snorted. "It's just because you two used a Martial Soul Fusion Skill. You won't be so lucky next time."
