Two Pairs (Continued)

With a soft whisper, the Azure Mysterious Corpse King opened his palms and forcefully shattered the ice pillar, regaining his freedom.

Neither Si Jingyu nor Si Huaruo were surprised by this result. They stood on either side of each other, their energy flowing together and their Cultivation Body merging. The originally scattered ice crystal fragments were stirred and flew over like butterflies, dancing around them.

"The Jeweled Tassels Spin and the Stars Sway!"

"The Flower Garlands Shake and Dragons and Snakes Move!"

The two unleashed their ultimate moves together, each transforming into an ice dragon that soared out and began to swarm around the Azure Mysterious Corpse King, tearing apart the ice crystals. The shattered ice crystals transformed into ice swords, ice blades, and ice spears, layer upon layer, shooting out in an impenetrable array, forming a snow and ice barrier.

Listening to the thunderous sounds of battle emanating from within the ice and snow barrier, Shi Yuan couldn't help but remark, "These two girls are even more formidable than I imagined; they actually managed to trap that female zombie."

Looking back at the battle on their side, they felt extremely frustrated. Despite having more people and a weaker enemy, they were on the losing end, with their offensives repeatedly thwarted.

Xia Guanxue, Ying Zhou, Shi Yuan, Shen Wumian, Dai Wen, Faji, working together, were defeated one by one by the Beast King Anye, with many of them getting injured in the battle.

The problem is that the six of them have terrible teamwork. They constantly interfere with each other, and their combined performance is probably less than half of what they could achieve together. For example, when Shi Yuan is swinging the sledgehammer, he has to worry about hitting his comrades.

On the other hand, the Beast King Anye's tactics are also quite targeted. Relying on his super regenerative ability, he constantly chooses to compete with his ultimate moves or use a mutually destructive fighting style. In any case, he can recover from his injuries quickly and attack without any scruples. The exhilarating battles allow him to perform beyond his usual level.

"That was great! Come on, do it again!"

With a wild laugh, the Beast King Anye unleashed a slash that caused a cataclysmic change in the heavens and earth. A ferocious hurricane suddenly descended, instantly plunging the entire world into chaos. Sand and mud were swept into the air, and countless hurricanes were compressed into sharp blade energy, howling outwards and forcing the six attackers to retreat simultaneously.

Shi Yuan glanced at his arm, which had been slashed open by the sword energy, and said, "This won't do. We can't make use of our numerical advantage at all. If we keep making a fool of ourselves, those two little girls will laugh us to death."

If the opponent doesn't have regenerative abilities, continuing the fight might not be without a chance of victory. Trading three blows for one is a win for our side, since we have a numerical advantage and can spread the damage. However, if the opponent can quickly heal themselves during the fight, then this strategy of trading blows is exactly what we want.

He made a quick decision, turning to Faji and saying, "Bald guy, go protect your unconscious fellow disciples, don't worry about this."

Having fought against the Monster Race for years, Faji was not the kind of scholar who only had great cultivation and could chant scriptures. He immediately realized his side's weakness, nodded, and withdrew from the battle to protect the unconscious monks.

Although Shi Yuan preferred fighting alone, he knew that he was no match for the Beast King Anye on his own. If the beast broke free and interfered with Si Ming's battle on the other side, it would be truly embarrassing.

He may be combative, but he's not the kind of reckless man who loses his mind in a fight. He has a clear understanding of the bigger picture and what's most important.

After a moment's thought, Shi Yuan Dai Wen to Shen Wumian and Dai Wen, "You two should step back for now. If that savage tries to break through, stop him."

Shen Wumian and Dai Wen had no objections. The latter was still injured and knew that this was not the time to be reckless. They each unleashed a Sword Qi and a saber aura, forcing the Beast King Anye to retreat, and then took the opportunity to jump out of the battle.

"You two better not let me down."

When it comes to his own people, Shi Yuan isn't so polite, bluntly offering his advice.

Xia Guanxue nodded in agreement. Just as he claimed, he was very polite to people other than Ying Zhou. After all, Shi Yuan was a senior with a renowned reputation for chivalry, and he dared not be disrespectful.

Ying Zhou was less reserved. He snorted and retorted, "Uncle, you should take care of yourself first. You've been the one who suffered the most setbacks before. If you're outdone by us young people, you might want to consider changing the title of 'Suppressing Prison-Subduing Boulder'."

"You're quite arrogant, aren't you? I like you a lot, and I hope your abilities match your boasting."

Shi Yuan swung his hammer to block the attack of the Beast King Anye, using strength to make up for the difference in Foundation. At the same time, the power hidden in the hammer exploded, like a bomb, instantly blasting the two apart.

"The Six Dui Stabilizes the Abyssal Marsh!"

"Cloud Thunder Drums and Lightning Flashes!"

Xia Guanxue's Sword Qi spread out, forming a net that trapped the Beast King Anye. Ying Zhou's slash was as powerful as thunder, striking from behind. The timing of the two was perfect.

With a roar, the Beast King Anye shattered the Sword Qi net and tried to block Ying Zhou's attack with a backhand punch, but he was a step too slow. The blade energy mixed with lightning struck his ribs first, and the surging lightning blasted him away.

Shi Yuan praised, "Well done! You two really work together perfectly."

Although Shen Wumian and Dai Wen cooperated, they were still far inferior to Ying Zhou and Xia Guanxue. Moreover, their fighting styles were very different, which complemented each other perfectly.

"Who's working well with this guy?" Ying Zhou refused to admit it, curling his lip in obvious disdain.

Xia Guanxue said, "That's right, but I'm just creating opportunities for you unilaterally. Even a pig wouldn't do any worse than you."

"What do you mean by that? You're making it sound like you did more work. Look closely, it was Laozi struck the enemy with one blow. Compared to your methods of creating opportunities, it was clearly my keen sense of timing that was far superior!"

"Think that way if you want. If it soothes your pathetic pride, I don't mind agreeing with you."

Despite their bickering, their coordination remained impeccable. Their swords moved in unison, sweeping out like a whirlwind. One Movement Method with ghostly, unpredictable movements, while the other wielded an invincible Asura Blade Aura, as if cleaving through the Youming.

The Beast King Anye, hampered by the knife wound to his ribs, was temporarily exhausted and forced to retreat by the two. He felt extremely humiliated. Previously, he had the upper hand against six opponents, but now, with half his enemies gone, he was suffering a setback and was being forced into such a sorry state by two hairless youngsters. He immediately circulated his inner energy, ignoring his injuries and forcefully breaking through his Foundation.

"Crimson Serpent Devours the Soul!"

The blood-red blade energy slashed out, accompanied by the howling of ghosts and wolves, while black chains pierced the earth.

Xia Guanxue thrust his sword into the ground, drawing in the earth's energy to form a thick earthen wall in front of him.

"Primordial Gen Raises a Lofty Mountain!"

Knowing that this move would not be able to withstand the fierce blade of the Beast King Anye, Xia Guanxue and Ying Zhou retreated at the same time. Sure enough, the earthen wall, as hard as steel, was cleaved in two by the ghostly light in the blink of an eye, and countless black chains pierced through from the ground, like a swarm of snakes dancing wildly, and coiled towards the two of them.

These chains are wrapped with an extremely dense power of cursed resentment, which was refined by the Beast King Anye from the resentment and hatred of those who died by his blade. They can bind the physical body and imprison the soul. Once they touch a person, they can make that person experience unbearable pain.

"Wisdom Sun Dispels All Darkness!"

Ying Zhou's Chan Sea Saber Technique, empowered by the Heavenly Dragon World-Delivering Pagoda, was far more powerful than ever before. The blade emitted a dazzling light, as if a real sun were hanging on it. With a single strike, it severed all the chains and dispelled the curse.

"Divine Astral Prison Break!"

Seizing the moment when the Beast King Anye was caught off guard, Shi Yuan pounced in, his giant hammer shattering the air. Ripples spread out along the way, the ferocious force compressing the air into liquid, creating a phenomenon similar to throwing a stone into a lake. These ripples formed countless concentric circles, all spreading out from the center of this blow, distorting the surrounding space into a horrible sight.

The Beast King Anye struggled to parry, but his bone sword was instantly shattered by the giant hammer. He took a heavy blow to the chest and was sent flying, crashing into a nearby pile of rocks. The crashing sound continued, and the broken rocks were not crushed into a pile of rubble, but were completely ground into dust, which fluttered away like a sandstorm.

Just as Shi Yuan was about to boast about gaining the upper hand, he turned around and saw Ying Zhou and Xia Guanxue still bickering. He scratched his head, thinking that this was probably their unique way of communicating, so he decided not to say anything. Anyway, as long as it didn't affect the battle, they could do whatever they wanted.
