Chapter 97: Tang San Failed to Break the Snake Venom? Jade Phosphorus Snake King Poison!
The battle on the main fighting stage was at a fever pitch, with soul power clashing and the air thick with tension.
Xiao Wu, trapped within the Shi brothers' tortoise-shell shield, heard Tang San's desperate cry but was unable to break free from the aerial confinement.
At this critical moment, Xiao Wu showcased her quick reflexes.
Her second soul ring flared, and her Charm skill activated once more! Her eyes glowed with a strong red light, locking onto the Shi brothers below.
For a brief moment, the Shi brothers froze, dazed by her mental attack.
Seizing the opportunity, the purple thousand-year soul ring under Xiao Wu's feet ignited. She used her third soul skill, Teleportation, attempting to forcibly break through the tortoise-shell shield.
But just as she moved a few steps, an invisible force repelled her back to her original position.
Undeterred, Xiao Wu tried several times, but each attempt yielded the same result—no progress.
Meanwhile, Zhu Zhuqing was locked in combat with Yufeng in the air, unable to assist.
"Mind control soul skills? Courting death!"
The Shi brothers snapped out of their daze, their eyes flashing with cold light as they glared at Xiao Wu. They clenched their palms, and the tortoise-shell shield surrounding her suddenly contracted.
The shield tightened around her, sealing her in even more securely.
Seeing Xiao Wu fully ensnared within the tortoise shell's attack range, Tang San's composure shattered. His heart pounded, and he shouted urgently, "No! My Xiao Wu!"
"Boss Dai, Fatty, come with me to save Xiao Wu!"
"Rongrong, help us!"
Everyone nodded in response.
As Tang San spoke, Dai Mubai didn't hesitate. He activated his third soul skill, White Tiger Vajra Transformation, and charged forward.
Tang San, moving with his Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track, transformed into a fleeting shadow, darting toward Xiao Wu's position like a specter. Ma Hongjun followed closely, his Phoenix Fire Line painting a blazing arc through the air, targeting Yufeng, the Wind Chime Bird Soul Master.
Ning Rongrong's two yellow soul rings lit up simultaneously. The Seven Treasures Glazed Tower glowed brilliantly, casting rays of light that enveloped Tang San and the others, boosting their strength and speed.
Seeing the Shrek team charging toward him, Yu Tianheng sneered contemptuously. He turned to Dugu Yan and Oslo beside him and said, "Yanzi, Baozi, let's take care of these stragglers."
The three erupted with soul power, rushing toward Tang San and his teammates.
Roar—
A ferocious tiger's roar echoed through the arena.
Dai Mubai's evil eyes merged into one, and a dazzling white light burst from his body. He surged toward Yu Tianheng like a meteor.
Bang—
The Thunderous Bolt and White Tiger Fierce Light Wave collided violently in mid-air.
The entire arena trembled, the explosive force sending a shockwave rippling outward in all directions.
In the sky, the tortoise-shell fragments thrown by the Shi brothers spun like a ruthless meat grinder, whistling as they swept toward Xiao Wu.
"Ah—!"
A piercing scream cut through the air.
Xiao Wu shifted five meters sideways in mid-air, dodging the tortoise shell's direct attack. But she couldn't fully evade its force. The powerful impact lifted her delicate body, and a spray of blood erupted as she spun several times in the air before plummeting to the ground.
"No!"
"You're courting death!"
Tang San's face paled at the sight, his eyes flashing with cold, murderous intent. He glared at the Royal Fight Team and roared, "Everyone, no holding back! Use the hidden weapons I gave you!"
Following Tang San's command, the Shrek Seven Devils acted without hesitation. They stepped back in unison, and in a flash, the Zhuge Crossbow appeared in their hands.
Puff puff puff puff puff—
A storm of crossbow bolts shot out like a torrential rain, whistling through the air toward Yu Tianheng and his team.
Unfamiliar with the Zhuge Crossbow, the Royal Fight Team froze for a moment, their movements slowing.
"Ah—!"
The Shi brothers, caught off guard at the forefront, screamed as a sharp bolt pierced their arms. The pain snapped them back to reality. They swung their hands upward, and the spinning tortoise shells flew back, forming a solid defensive barrier in front of them.
Yu Tianheng, reacting swiftly, used his second soul skill, Thunderous Lightning. Bolts of lightning sliced through the air, reducing several crossbow bolts to ash.
Dugu Yan employed her snake venom to melt and corrode the incoming bolts.
Oslo, with his agility as a Ghost Leopard Soul Master, dodged most of the bolts but was struck in the thigh by one.
Yufeng, airborne and restrained by Zhu Zhuqing, was the most vulnerable. A bolt pierced his chest, and he plummeted to the ground.
In just one round, nearly every member of the Royal Fight Team was injured, drastically shifting the battle's momentum.
At that moment, Tang San's shirt tore apart under the surge of his soul power, scattering like butterflies. Eight bulges appeared along his spine, and then eight eerie spider legs burst out, extending rapidly with lightning speed.
Dugu Yan's expression shifted as she saw Tang San's sudden advance. She prepared to unleash her third soul skill, Jade Phosphorus Purple Poison, to counter him.
But before she could act, Tang San was already upon her.
"What? How is he so fast?"
Dugu Yan's eyes widened in shock. The purple soul ring at her feet flickered and faded as she hastily stepped back, a trace of fear in her gaze.
With the emergence of the Eight Spider Lances, Tang San's soul power took on a peculiar edge. His aura grew colder, the temperature around him dropped, and a faint purple mist clung to the spider legs.
"It's a mutated martial soul? Everyone, be careful!" Dugu Yan shouted anxiously, sensing something amiss as she eyed the Eight Spider Lances.
"Yanzi, step back! I'll handle him!"
Yu Tianheng's face darkened with determination. Assuming Tang San was targeting Dugu Yan, he roared and dashed forward, his right hand transforming into a dragon claw, sharp as thunder, aimed at Tang San.
But the next second, his claw struck nothing.
Tang San, moving with Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track, weaved through the battlefield like a phantom, his afterimages flickering as he easily bypassed Dugu Yan and Yu Tianheng, arriving at the rear of the Royal Fight Team!
"You dared to hurt my Xiao Wu? You'll pay with your lives!"
A red glint flashed in Tang San's eyes as he coldly glared at the injured Shi brothers, Oslo, and Yufeng. The Eight Spider Lances stabbed forward, piercing their backs in an instant.
The four paled, their faces tinged purple as their bodies stiffened. Their strength and soul power drained rapidly, like water from a broken bucket. Foaming at the mouth, they collapsed heavily to the ground, their fighting ability gone.
"What?!" Yu Tianheng and Dugu Yan's faces darkened like lead, their eyes blazing with fury as they shouted, "You're courting death!"
They erupted with soul power, charging at Tang San with ferocious speed.
Seeing the dire situation, Dai Mubai, not far away, roared, his voice cutting through the crowd to reach Zhu Zhuqing in the air: "Zhuqing, Netherworld White Tiger!"
Yu Xiaogang had emphasized before the battle that the key to victory lay with Dai Mubai, Zhu Zhuqing, and Tang San—not because of their individual strength, but because Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing could perform a Spirit Fusion Skill.
Hearing Dai Mubai's call, Zhu Zhuqing didn't hesitate. She flashed into a black shadow, rushing toward him, and their bodies collided.
A dark light burst from the collision point, intertwining and condensing into a massive white tiger with white fur, black stripes, and purple pupils.
The Netherworld White Tiger leaped forward, pouncing on Yu Tianheng with earth-shaking power.
Yu Tianheng, sensing the shift behind him, turned swiftly and raised his arms to block.
But the Netherworld White Tiger swatted him away with a single paw!
Pfft—
Yu Tianheng spat blood, his face pale as paper, teetering on the edge of unconsciousness.
"It's… a Spirit Fusion Skill?"
Yu Tianheng's eyes widened in disbelief as he stared at the towering white tiger.
"Damn you! I'll kill you all!"
Dugu Yan, enraged by Yu Tianheng's injury, roared. Her third soul ring blazed to life.
"Third Soul Skill, Jade Phosphorus Purple Poison!"
A thick purple mist spewed from the mouth of the jade-green snake behind her, spreading rapidly through the air toward the Shrek Seven Devils.
Tang San, unfazed, reached for the Twenty-Four Moonlit Bridges at his waist and pulled out a large wine bag.
"Just snake venom? Watch me break it!"
With a sneer, he hurled the wine bag into the air and shouted, "Fatty, Phoenix Fire Line!"
Ma Hongjun understood instantly. Without hesitation, he unleashed a blazing Phoenix Fire Line toward the wine bag.
Bang—
The wine bag shattered under the fiery assault.
The realgar wine inside turned into a mist, ignited by the flames into a fiery haze. A distinctive fragrance filled the arena, causing the purple poison mist to burn and dissipate in moments with a series of sizzling sounds.
"You dare play with poison in front of me? It's just the venom of the Jade Phosphorus Snake, one of the five Jade Phosphorus poisons. Nothing to fear," Tang San said coldly, a smug smile on his lips as he stared at the burning mist.
But Dugu Yan sneered, her eyes glinting with mockery. "Hmph, you think you've completely neutralized my venom? This isn't the Jade Phosphorus Snake Venom—it's the Jade Phosphorus Snake King Venom. Look at your teammates."
Tang San's brow furrowed. He glanced at Ma Hongjun and the others, and his heart sank.
Their faces were purple, contorted in pain, clearly suffering from severe poisoning.
"What? How is this possible?"
"Didn't I neutralize your venom?"
