The Strength of the Five Poisons 3

Bee Girl Bai Jingjing hovered in the air, looking at Leopard Woman and Crazy Rabbit with a faint smile. "Want to compete in speed?"

Then let's see who's faster!

As she spoke, her First Soul Ring lit up. "First Soul Ring Skill: High-Speed Movement!"

Bee Girl Bai Jingjing left behind an afterimage in the air, and she had already appeared above Crazy Rabbit, who was charging at the front. She kicked down at her.

Crazy Rabbit had no choice but to stop and counterattack.

Her First Soul Ring also lit up. "First Soul Ring Skill, Yellow: Rabbit Kicking the Moon!"

She flipped over, bracing herself with both hands as her thick, powerful legs shot up to meet Bee Girl Bai Jingjing's kick with lightning speed.

"Hehe!"

Unfortunately, Bee Girl Bai Jingjing had already stopped her attack, and her figure vanished. The moment Crazy Rabbit counterattacked—

She had left and appeared above Leopard Woman's head.

She kicked down again.

"Damn it!"

Leopard Woman and Crazy Rabbit were both highly experienced fighters and immediately understood. Bee Girl Bai Jingjing had never intended to truly attack them; it had all been a feint.

Her true goal was to stop them from approaching Gui Jianchou Lüping.

At the same time, she was buying time for Spider Empress Dai Zhirou to take control of the battle.

Sure enough, Spider Empress Dai Zhirou moved at that moment.

Her Second Soul Ring lit up. "Second Soul Skill: Giant Poisonous Ground Web!"

The next moment, a web spread across the ground with Spider Empress Dai Zhirou at its center, rapidly expanding outward.

It soon enclosed both her and Gui Jianchou Lüping, blocking every possibility of approaching the two from the ground!

Leopard Woman and Crazy Rabbit exchanged looks, because they had no idea what Spider Empress Dai Zhirou's soul skill was capable of.

For the moment, they did not dare touch it recklessly.

Thus, the battle briefly fell into a stalemate.

Meanwhile, the two-against-three battle ahead had already begun.

Bear King let out a wild roar, and his Fourth Soul Ring lit up. "Fourth Soul Ring Skill, Purple: Bear King Charge!"

Under the effect of this soul skill, Bear King's body instantly swelled by a quarter, his muscles bulging all over. Like a bulldozer, he charged at Scorpion Beauty Hanyu.

Bear King had already been tall to begin with. After his body expanded, he was nearly two and a half meters tall.

But Scorpion Beauty Hanyu was only around one meter seventy-five.

Though that height was not short, she instantly appeared petite when facing the two-and-a-half-meter Bear King.

On top of that, one was a hulking big man while the other was a delicate beautiful girl. It was practically a live version of Beauty and the Beast.

The stark contrast between them—

Made the audience worry endlessly for Scorpion Beauty Hanyu.

Taishi Ming even heard waves of sharp intakes of breath from beside him.

Because in their eyes, Scorpion Beauty Hanyu was simply asking to be beaten! Judging from appearances alone, there was no way their strength could possibly be on the same level.

Yet Scorpion Beauty Hanyu showed no sign of fear. Her Second Soul Ring lit up.

"Second Soul Skill: Giant Strength!"

This move could double Scorpion Beauty Hanyu's strength.

Her metallic hands slammed forward, directly meeting the charging Bear King.

Clang!

The two collided with a deafening crash.

Scorpion Beauty Hanyu did not move an inch, while Bear King looked as though he had rammed into the strongest wall in the world.

He was sent flying backward seven or eight meters before finally steadying himself.

His eyes were filled with shock. He had to know that he too followed a strength-based path.

Yet now, even after using his thousand-year Fourth Soul Ring Skill, his strength had lost to the opponent's hundred-year soul skill.

This defied all logic.

Yet it was perfectly logical, because this was the difference between martial souls.

For example, one person might originally have only 100 strength. If a soul skill doubled it, that would make 200.

But another person might have 200 strength. Even if their soul skill only increased it by fifty percent, that would still be 300.

For strength-based soul masters, the strength of their martial soul determined how great the boost would be after Martial Soul Possession, increasing the base strength before soul skills were used.

The audience froze for a moment before breaking into applause.

It was too spectacular. They had never expected that after one head-on clash, the one holding the absolute advantage would be the delicate beautiful girl.

At the same time, Lieyang Snake Princess, who faced Lone Wolf and Lion King alone, was even more dominant than Scorpion Beauty Hanyu.

Because before Lone Wolf and Lion King could get close, she launched the first attack.

Her First Soul Ring lit up. "First Soul Ring Skill: Fire Line Shot!"

The ten snake heads around her neck, which resembled a necklace, came alive one by one.

They raised their heads and aimed separately at Lone Wolf and Lion King.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!

All ten snake heads spewed flames from their mouths, firing in two waves toward Lone Wolf and Lion King.

First Soul Ring Skill: Fire Line Shot. The Ten Snake Heads spat linear flames from their mouths. Because her martial soul had ten heads, the soul master could freely choose to release anywhere from one to ten streams, firing in different directions. Moreover, she could fire without limit until her Soul Power was exhausted.

"Holy crap!"

Taishi Ming, seated in the audience, was dumbfounded as well. This was the first time he had seen his wife unleash her power!

Only now did he understand the terrifying aspect of Snake Princess's martial soul. Because of its unique nature—

It had directly transformed what should have been a single-target First Soul Ring Skill into a controllable, all-directional, powerful area attack.

Though this soul skill was only a hundred-year one, Taishi Ming felt its value exceeded that of ordinary Ten Thousand Year Soul Rings.

Because once this soul skill erupted at full power, it was practically a walking Fire God Cannon!

Lone Wolf and Lion King exchanged looks. They had heard before that Lieyang Snake Princess's most terrifying ability was her ten-thousand-year Fifth Soul Ring Skill, while her most troublesome skill was undoubtedly her First Soul Ring Skill.

Only after experiencing it themselves did they understand how terrifying it was.

The two immediately chose to defend. Dodging was not an option, because the controllable attacks had sealed off every direction they could evade toward. No matter where they dodged, they would be hit.

"Third Soul Ring Skill, Purple: Wolf King Shield!"

"Second Soul Ring Skill, Yellow: Fire Lion Barrier!"

A semicircular shield appeared around Lone Wolf, blocking Lieyang Snake Princess's attacks.

A square shield of flame appeared before Lion King, protecting him behind it.

When Lieyang Snake Princess saw this, a faint smile appeared on her face.

Because this was exactly the result she wanted. Under her First Soul Ring Skill, once they fell into defense, they could only wait to be suppressed!

The Ten Snake Heads continuously spewed flames from their mouths, firing directly at the two of them.

They would not give the two even the slightest chance to break free.

Not far away, Spider Empress Dai Zhirou smiled and waved her hand. "The captain has successfully suppressed the two of them. The counterattack begins."

"Received!"

Bee Girl Bai Jingjing was the first to respond from the air. Her Fourth Soul Ring lit up. "Fourth Soul Skill: Straight Drill!"
