Liu Xiaoxiao, Chen Fang, and the Shrek Seven Devils

Before the Pope's Palace, the Shrek Seven Devils and the Spirit Hall team had long since entered a cold war. A tense, drawn-bow atmosphere filled the arena.

"Prepare for the match. Both sides may release their Martial Souls," announced the red-clad bishop serving as referee.

In an instant, the Spirit Hall Academy team and the Shrek Seven Devils released their Martial Souls simultaneously.

Liu Xiaoxiao and the other two stood at the front, with three Assault System Soul Ancestors in the middle and the Support System Scepter Soul Master at the rear.

The Shrek Seven Devils, meanwhile, formed a two-three-two formation. Tang San and Dai Mubai stood at the front; behind them were Xiao Wu, Zhu Zhuqing, and Little Fatty, while Ning Rongrong and Oscar stood at the very back.

"The match begins." The referee swiftly retreated, clearing the arena as he spoke.

Liu Xiaoxiao gave a low shout, and the six people before him charged at the Shrek Seven Devils simultaneously.

Tang San was somewhat surprised that Liu Xiaoxiao and the others had not used their Martial Soul Fusion Skill, but that did not prevent him from adjusting. Under his command, Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing attacked Liu Xiaoxiao directly, while Little Fatty and Xiao Wu faced Chen Fang and Hu Liena respectively. As for the remaining three Assault System battle Soul Ancestors charging toward them, Tang San would deal with them personally.

This arrangement happened to align perfectly with Liu Xiaoxiao and the others' plan. According to their original strategy, the three Soul Kings would use overwhelming strength to defeat the others first, then join the three battle Soul Ancestors holding Tang San back and defeat him together.

In their eyes, Tang San was the key to defeating the Shrek Seven Devils. Yet Tang San was not someone they could easily defeat. Therefore, they had to eliminate the others first, then concentrate their strength against Tang San and prevent the Shrek Seven Devils from making a desperate last stand.

As he thought this, the two Moon Blades in Liu Xiaoxiao's hands had already flown free, one heading for Dai Mubai and the other for Zhu Zhuqing.

Dai Mubai's First and Third Soul Rings shone brightly. He immediately used two enhancement Spirit Abilities and knocked one Moon Blade back.

Zhu Zhuqing flashed aside and dodged the other Moon Blade.

But Liu Xiaoxiao sneered. His First Soul Ring lit up faintly as he unleashed Spinning Blade, sending it at Zhu Zhuqing from behind.

However, Zhu Zhuqing seemed to foresee it. She shifted left and avoided the strike.

The twin blades returned to Liu Xiaoxiao's hands. Rather than immediately throwing the Moon Blades again, he charged toward Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing.

The sharp Moon Blades collided with Dai Mubai's tiger palms, knocking him back in an instant. However, Zhu Zhuqing attacked Liu Xiaoxiao from the side, forcing him back a short distance.

Elsewhere, Chen Fang and Little Fatty clashed. Little Fatty attacked without pause, while Chen Fang adopted a defensive stance and continually blocked his attacks. Due to the vast gap in Soul Power, Little Fatty simply could not break Chen Fang's defense. Yet with the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda's support, Chen Fang was also unable to shake off Little Fatty's harassment for the moment.

As for Xiao Wu and Hu Liena, they stood in confrontation. Though Xiao Wu was still no match for Hu Liena even with the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda's support, she likewise managed to hold Hu Liena down for the time being.

At the rear, Tang San relied on the Tang Sect Ultimate Arts to continually maneuver against the three Assault System battle Soul Ancestors. At least on the surface, they appeared evenly matched.

"Now!" Liu Xiaoxiao suddenly shouted. He then embraced Hu Liena, and with the Scepter Soul Master's support, they immediately fused. Red mist rapidly expanded, enveloping Dai Mubai, Zhu Zhuqing, Little Fatty, and Xiao Wu.

As for Chen Fang, he had already swiftly run off before Liu Xiaoxiao shouted and charged toward Tang San.

The Silver Moon Wolf King's skull bone Spirit Ability, Mental Confusion, activated. Although Tang San had cultivated the Purple Demon Eyes, the attack still left him dazed for an instant.

In that instant, the two Moon Blades in Liu Xiaoxiao's hands flew out after he completed the Martial Soul Fusion Skill, severing the Blue Silver Grass wrapped around Little Fatty and the others.

Within the range of the Martial Soul Fusion Skill Bewitching Charm, Little Fatty and the others were naturally at a severe disadvantage. But at that moment, they displayed the strength worthy of the Shrek Seven Devils.

Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing completed their Martial Soul Fusion Skill in an instant. The enormous Hell White Tiger appeared within Bewitching Charm's range.

The Hell White Tiger specialized in slaughter. Even though Bewitching Charm's Martial Soul Fusion Skill suppressed it and had greater Soul Power, Liu Xiaoxiao still did not dare clash with it head-on. Instead, he retreated while repeatedly throwing his Moon Blades to exhaust the Hell White Tiger's stamina.

Bewitching Charm was a control-type ability, so its consumption was naturally lower than the Hell White Tiger's. As long as they could hold out for a while, the Hell White Tiger would collapse without being attacked.

At the same time, Little Fatty moved. Using his Second Spirit Ability and Third Spirit Ability, he rose into the air, leaving Bewitching Charm's range and rushing to support Tang San.

At the same time, Xiao Wu's Third Spirit Ring lit up. She likewise Teleported to Tang San and the others.

Seeing this, Chen Fang prepared to break through.

However, at that moment, four Blue Silver Prisons silently rose from the ground, trapping Chen Fang and the other three Assault System battle Soul Ancestors.

The four of them each struck with full force, shattering the Blue Silver Prisons in a single blow. But at that moment, Little Fatty's Fourth Spirit Ability, Phoenix Roaring Heaven Strike, arrived.

Chen Fang and the others entered a stunned state. However, strengthened by the Silver Moon Wolf King skull bone, Chen Fang immediately regained consciousness and leaped out of Phoenix Roaring Heaven Strike's attack range.

Immediately afterward, magma surged from the ground and instantly engulfed the three Assault System battle Soul Ancestors.

As expected, under Little Fatty's strongest attack, all three collapsed, no longer capable of fighting.

Then, with several consecutive kicks, Little Fatty sent the three Soul Ancestors flying out of the arena. The situation began to favor the Shrek Seven Devils.

However, that outburst had also consumed most of Little Fatty's Soul Power.

Meanwhile, Chen Fang was charging toward Ning Rongrong and Oscar.

Blue Silver Grass silently Entangled Chen Fang's feet, and Xiao Wu's body appeared behind him at once.

Teleportation and Waist Bow were unleashed in succession. However, Chen Fang was currently using three major enhancement abilities, making his weight terrifyingly immense. As a result, Xiao Wu failed to throw him.

Chen Fang roared, launching Mental Confusion at Ning Rongrong and Oscar once more. Their Spiritual Power was weak to begin with, and they immediately collapsed to the ground.

Then Chen Fang's Fifth Spirit Ring lit up. With one motion, he flung Xiao Wu away while snapping the Blue Silver Grass.

At that moment, on the other side, Bewitching Charm and the Hell White Tiger had also determined their victor.

With the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda's support from Ning Rongrong, the Hell White Tiger had originally been able to contend with Bewitching Charm. But now that Ning Rongrong had fallen, Liu Xiaoxiao naturally gained the advantage in strength and swiftly defeated Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing.

Three against four—the scales of victory tilted back toward the Spirit Hall Academy team.

Although Liu Xiaoxiao and the others had expended a great deal, they gradually recovered under the Scepter Soul Master's support. As for the Shrek Seven Devils, aside from Little Fatty's considerable expenditure, Tang San and Xiao Wu's consumption could practically be ignored.
