Fierce Battle

Blade Storm. Mo Ying's third soul ring flashed.

The red greatsword and blue slender sword in Mo Ying's hands shone brilliantly. His body began spinning at high speed, and a tornado rose from beneath his feet. At the same time, streaks of red and blue sword light flew out, slashing at the Summoned Beasts and the Chains of Heaven.

Qian Yuling's Summoned Beasts were steadily driven back, and the chains binding Lu Xiaoguo and Hua Ruyi were completely destroyed by Mo Ying's third soul skill.

"Brother Xiaoguo, I can move!" Hua Ruyi twisted her body.

"Sister Ruyi, I can move too!" Lu Xiaoguo spun around in place.

"Brother Xiaoguo!"

"Sister Ruyi!"

"What are you two doing over there? Hurry up and help!" Mo Ying roared as he raised his greatsword and slashed at Black Knight Sander.

Shui Wuyue stretched out her hands again. Halos appeared from different directions in the sky, and countless chains shot out, trying to bind Lu Xiaoguo and Hua Ruyi once more.

"Moonlight before my bed shines bright, someone spilled a bowl of soup; I raise my hand and take my sword, lower my head and chop the chains." Lu Xiaoguo recited poetry as he cut apart the incoming chains one by one.

"Excellent poem, excellent poem." Hua Ruyi's eyes turned into hearts. She greatly admired Lu Xiaoguo.

After cutting down the chains flying toward him, Lu Xiaoguo did not forget to cut apart the chains on Hua Ruyi's side as well.

"Hmph, I'm not an easy man, but when I get easy, I'm not even human." Lu Xiaoguo struck what he thought was a handsome pose and declared righteously.

At the same time, Mo Ying's Starburst Gale Slash also drove Qian Yuling's Summoned Beasts steadily back.

Mo Ying glanced at Qian Yuling. "Aren't you going to use your third soul skill yet?"

Qian Yuling nodded. "It's time."

As soon as she spoke, Qian Yuling's third soul ring lit up. She chanted, "Spirit Summon - Flame Herrek, Spirit Summon - Ice Shadow Aquilis, Spirit Summon - Aurora Grellin, Spirit Summon - Undead Merkel."

The lower-level spirits on the field—Yadeyan, Bingaisi, Leiwosi, and Semingteke—gradually vanished. In their place appeared four towering figures: High-level Spirits.

The elemental aura radiating from the High-level Spirits was utterly incomparable to that of the lower-level spirits. If the lower-level spirits' elemental aura was a trickling stream, then the High-level Spirits' elemental aura was a raging sea.

"What? Ultimate Attributes?" Mo Ying could hardly believe it. He had imagined Qian Yuling's third soul skill countless times, but he had never expected the Summoned Beasts it called forth to possess Ultimate Attributes. He did not want to believe it, but the fact that his twin swords could no longer suppress Qian Yuling's Summoned Beasts told him that these four High-level Spirits truly possessed Ultimate Attributes.

"You guessed right. Let's see how you beat me now." Qian Yuling spoke arrogantly, very pleased by Mo Ying's reaction. But she did not forget to remind Shui Wuyue and Ning Keke. "Keke, stop buffing me and give everything to Yueyue. Yueyue, Lu Xiaoguo and Hua Ruyi are all yours. Just keep them restrained—don't let them support Mo Ying."

"Okay," Ning Keke and Shui Wuyue replied.

As soon as they spoke, Ning Keke transferred the portion of her buffs meant for Qian Yuling to Shui Wuyue. Shui Wuyue's aura immediately rose by quite a bit again.

Qian Yuling also recalled the lower-level creatures Hedel, Sandel, Fleet, and Aosuo, using all her Soul Power to support the four High-level Spirits.

Although there were suddenly four fewer Summoned Beasts on the field, Mo Ying did not dare let his guard down in the slightest. His instincts told him that he might not be able to defeat the four spirits before him.

Yet as the backbone of the team, Mo Ying was undoubtedly the source of Lu Xiaoguo and Hua Ruyi's confidence.

Starburst Gale Slash. Mo Ying's second soul ring flashed again, and the twin swords in his hands shone dazzlingly. Afterimages appeared around him as he charged toward Ice Shadow Aquilis among the High-level Spirits, preparing to unleash sixteen consecutive strikes.

But a High-level Spirit was still a High-level Spirit. Their intelligence far surpassed that of lower-level spirits. Flame Hreik instantly appeared in front of Ice Shadow Aquilis and used his ultimate move—Flame Exploding Sword Technique—to counter Mo Ying's Starburst Gale Slash.

Hreik's figure also turned into a series of afterimages, while phantoms of his sword appeared one after another. He easily blocked Mo Ying's Starburst Gale Slash. Although one of Mo Ying's swords possessed Ultimate Fire and the other Ultimate Ice, neither had any suppressive effect on Hreik, who also possessed Ultimate Fire.

Mo Ying's expression darkened. He had not expected his Starburst Gale Slash to be blocked so easily by the flaming Summoned Beast before him. Moreover, he was already somewhat exhausted.

Mo Ying panted, but Hreik had no intention of giving him a chance to catch his breath. He continued bombarding Mo Ying with the Flame Exploding Sword Technique.

Mo Ying could only defend passively, but Qian Yuling had more than just Flame Hreik on the field. Ice Shadow Aquilis also unleashed her ultimate move—Seven-Layered Ice Missiles.

Seven enormous blue ice crystals appeared before Ice Shadow Aquilis. With a wave of her hand, the seven crystals shot rapidly toward Mo Ying.

Flame Hreik noticed Ice Shadow Aquilis's move as well. His figure flashed, and he stopped tangling with Mo Ying. But Mo Ying was already extremely exhausted and had no way to evade the seven ice crystals. He could only use his martial soul to block them.

After the blue ice crystals struck Mo Ying's twin swords, seven explosions rang out. The explosive damage was the truly terrifying part of Ice Shadow Aquilis's ultimate move.

Mo Ying was sent flying backward and landed beside Lu Xiaoguo and Hua Ruyi.

"Ah, Mo Ying!" Hua Ruyi cried out in shock.

Mo Ying slowly sat up. "I've used up too much energy. Help me stall for time. Even if you have to reveal your trump cards, that's fine. We can't lose this match."

Lu Xiaoguo nodded. "We'll definitely buy you time to recover."

Ning Keke from Qian Yuling's side shouted, "Yu Ling, Yueyue, Mo Ying is recovering. This is a great opportunity—defeat them in one go!"

Countless halos appeared in the sky again, and chains shot out one after another.

Lu Xiaoguo's second soul skill also flashed as he said, "Fruit Lover's Flying Sword."

Rows upon rows of phantoms holding Divine General Swords appeared around Lu Xiaoguo and attacked the chains in the sky. The instant the chains and sword phantoms collided, both vanished into the air.

But Qian Yuling's four Summoned Beasts were not idle either. Ice Shadow Aquilis unleashed her minor skill, Ice Missile, sending it flying toward the three of them.

Hua Ruyi's second soul ring lit up as well. " Lightning Grape Split."

The Immortal Cloud Sword in Hua Ruyi's hand glowed purple. She stood before the other two and blocked the incoming Ice Missile. Although Ice Shadow Aquilis had only used the minor skill Ice Missile, she was level 37, while Hua Ruyi was merely a Soul Grandmaster. Blocking the Ice Missile took considerable effort from Hua Ruyi.

"Sister Ruyi, are you all right?" Lu Xiaoguo asked worriedly.

"I'm fine, Brother Xiaoguo." Hua Ruyi supported herself on the ground with one hand, her body trembling slightly.

Clearly, Hua Ruyi had paid a considerable price to withstand that attack.
