"Everyone, take Oscar's three types of sausages. Once you're ready, we'll move in." Ignoring Dai Mubai, who was sulking by himself, Xia Tianling continued laying out the tactics.
Seeing that everyone was prepared, he gave the command to engage.
"Go!"
The three of them swallowed the Speedy Flight Dash Sausage at the same time and charged toward the Bee Queen from their predetermined positions.
"Seven Treasures Manifesting Glazed Tile, Seven Treasures Have Names: first, strength; second, speed."
Their speed instantly increased by thirty percent.
Ma Hongjun directly lit up all three Soul Rings on his body.
First Spirit Skill: Phoenix Fire Line!
Second Spirit Skill: Phoenix Bathing in Fire!
Third Soul Skill: Phoenix Wing Soaring!
The names were the same, but the skill attributes were different. After cultivating the Phoenix Fire Technique, Ma Hongjun had not only endured stronger Soul Rings, but also further enhanced the effects of his original skills.
The Phoenix Fire Line, now fully twice as thick as before, shot over the heads of the other two and struck the hive with tremendous force despite launching later.
Dense Phoenix Desire Fire exploded across the hive, thick as liquid as it splattered in every direction.
Even Oscar began to sweat slightly under the scorching heat overhead, let alone the ordinary Devil Bees.
The instant the flames struck, a great number of burning Devil Bees burst apart and scattered in all directions. Their lives bloomed like brilliant fireworks in the night sky before swiftly vanishing without a trace.
Seeing the powerful results of his attack, Ma Hongjun cackled strangely in midair as he ate an enhanced Recovery Great Sausage and continued using Phoenix Fire Line to sweep away the ordinary Devil Bees.
A shrill cry rang out. It was the Devil Bee Queen.
Seeing its subjects being slaughtered, it could no longer endure it and flew straight toward the fat man.
"Think you can get through?"
Using the effects of the Speedy Flight Dash Sausage, Oscar rushed into the air and struck toward the Bee Queen with a Buddha's Palm.
The Bee Queen's reactions were quite swift. It somehow completed an emergency stop in midair before dropping vertically.
However, the golden Buddhist hand seal was simply too large. Even so, its wings were still grazed, and it immediately lost its balance and fell downward.
Just as it struggled to stabilize itself, Xiao Wu, who had taken a wide detour, had already arrived behind it.
Waist Bow activated.
Before it could regain control of its body, the Bee Queen was kicked away again like a ball being passed around on a playing field.
Yet by borrowing the force of Xiao Wu's fierce blow, it managed to find an opening and regained a chance to restore its balance.
The Bee Queen looked at Ma Hongjun, who was still in the air relentlessly hunting down its subjects, and roared as it charged at him once more.
"Perfect!"
Tang San, who had long been waiting below, also rose into the air at that moment. A large number of "Hidden Weapons" flew from his hands at all sorts of bizarre angles.
They were not anything impressive—mostly stones and discarded chunks of metal, mixed with a small number of Bone-Piercing Nails, Coin Darts, and other Hidden Weapons.
Seeing so many strange "attacks" flying toward it, the charging Bee Queen had no choice but to continuously shift through the air to evade them.
But the Bee Queen did not know that these Hidden Weapons flying toward it had extremely low attack power. Their sole purpose was to block off its movement.
My turn.
Xia Tianling exchanged a glance with Tang San from afar, then fiercely charged upward from below.
In midair, the Dawnbreaker Martial Soul appeared as a single hammer, and the latter two Soul Rings on his body lit up in succession.
Second Spirit Skill: Attribute Buff
Third Soul Skill: Attribute Burst
The two stacked directly on top of each other.
Violent lightning flickered wildly across the massive hammer, crackling continuously.
Entanglement!
Tang San seized the right moment and unleashed his First Spirit Skill.
Blue Silver Grass instantly bound the Bee Queen, which was desperately dodging, tightly in place. Tang San then immediately canceled the skill and activated his Second Spirit Skill, Parasitism!
At that moment, Xia Tianling, who had been prepared for a long time, also reached his position. The enormous thunder hammer came crashing down toward the Bee Queen from above.
But a Thousand-Year Spirit Beast had not survived in the Star Dou Great Forest for so many years for nothing. Sensing the threat of death, the Bee Queen twisted its body to the limit in desperation, using its sharp stinger as an arrowhead as it unleashed its only skill.
Decisive Strike.
A Devil Bee's stinger was the hardest part of its body and its only viable means of attack.
But hard as it was, Xia Tianling's hammer was harder.
The Bee Queen's stinger shattered instantly. Its Decisive Strike was not worth mentioning before Xia Tianling's overwhelming power. The hammerhead, black with a faint golden gleam, smashed viciously into its tail. Amid the explosive roar of violent lightning, the armor on its abdomen shattered, and the dark green blood that flowed out was instantly vaporized by the lightning's intense heat.
After being heavily injured by the chain of attacks, the Bee Queen was caught under the dual control of Blue Silver Grass's Parasitism and the lightning's paralysis effect. It could not move at all.
"Zhuqing, attack its head!" Xia Tianling shouted.
Yet before he even needed to say it, Zhu Zhuqing, who had been waiting in the tree for a long time, had already darted out the instant his first syllable left his mouth.
With the buffs from Void Walking and the Speedy Flight Dash Sausage, Zhu Zhuqing's nimble figure flashed before the Bee Queen almost instantly.
The pitch-black Assassin's Claws merged into one beneath a veil of black light, then pierced straight through the Bee Queen's enormous head with the aid of gravitational acceleration.
Just as Zhu Zhuqing completed Hell Stab, the Bee Queen's massive corpse finally crashed to the ground with a rumble.
A violet glow rose up, gradually condensing into a ring above its corpse.
The Devil Bee Queen had fallen.
A Devil Bee Queen with five thousand years of cultivation had been instantly killed by their combined chain of attacks. If they had known one another longer and coordinated more smoothly, the Bee Queen would not even have had a chance to dodge. It would have been locked down by their control chain until it could not move, before Zhu Zhuqing delivered the killing blow.
As for crippling it first before finishing it off? That would have been far too troublesome.
"Clap clap clap clap clap clap." A round of applause sounded as two figures approached the group one after the other. The one in front was the Spirit Hall Spirit Douluo leading the team, while behind him stood Zhao Wuji with a helpless expression.
"Wonderful, truly wonderful. Such exquisite coordination, and it came from you little ones? When this old man was your age, I was nowhere near as capable. I am ashamed to compare myself to you."
"Zhu Zhuqing, go absorb the Soul Ring first." The Spirit Douluo stroked his beard, his face full of satisfaction.
"Yes, Teacher Liu." Zhu Zhuqing answered, then sat down cross-legged and began absorbing the Soul Ring.
"Teacher Liu, why did you come out?" Xia Tianling scratched his head.
"Hahaha, I simply could not resist after watching you little ones coordinate so brilliantly. Besides, now that we're here, we probably won't run into anyone else." The Spirit Douluo laughed heartily. "Zhao Wuji, why not just let these three little ones follow me? Keeping them at your Shrek is simply wasting their talent!"
Zhao Wuji gave a bitter smile. "Senior, please do not make things difficult for me. How could I possibly make that decision?"
From a distant corner, Dai Mubai watched the group receive praise and clenched his fists tightly once more. Clearly... clearly, I should have had a share of that too!
