Li Ang Makes His Move

Thus, several of Zhao Wuji's attacks failed to achieve anything. Instead, Tang San transformed his Blue Silver Grass martial soul into a Blue Silver Soft Sword, wielding it with lightning speed and ruthless ferocity.

Once the Seventy-Two Styles of Evil-warding Swordplay was unleashed, even Zhao Wuji had to respond with caution.

Although Tang San's strength was limited and he could not break through Zhao Wuji's defenses, this kind of harassment might not have been particularly damaging, but it was immensely humiliating.

On top of that, Zhu Zhuqing had recovered and was now coordinating with Tang San to attack Zhao Wuji. For a time, Zhao Wuji actually found himself at a disadvantage.

Though every one of his attacks was immensely powerful, none of them could hit his opponents at all.

Thoroughly sickened by two people faster than himself, Zhao Wuji, burning with rage, directly activated his Third Soul Skill.

In the next moment, Tang San and Zhu Zhuqing felt as though their feet had sunk into a swamp. Their bodies suddenly became heavy, while Zhao Wuji was clearly unaffected.

After hesitating briefly, Zhao Wuji's Vajra Power Palm struck toward Tang San first.

In Zhao Wuji's view, although Zhu Zhuqing's sneak attacks were annoying, her methods were far too limited. She only had two Soul Skills in total, and under normal circumstances, she could not even break his defense.

Therefore, Zhao Wuji decided to deal with Tang San first.

Compared with Zhu Zhuqing, Tang San's methods of attack were much more complicated. Aside from the three Soul Skills attached to his Blue Silver Grass martial soul, Tang San's Hidden Weapons and those Embroidery Needles that seemed to possess lives of their own had caused Zhao Wuji no end of trouble.

Thus, Zhao Wuji planned to get rid of Tang San first, then deal with Zhu Zhuqing.

However, Zhao Wuji's choice was obviously wrong.

As the Child of the World in Douluo World and the owner of the Protagonist Halo, Tang San's luck was absolutely unmatched.

Even with his speed restricted by Zhao Wuji's Third Soul Skill, Tang San still successfully dodged several more Vajra Power Palms under the protection of the Protagonist Halo.

Moreover, what terrified Zhao Wuji even more was that the poison carried by Zhu Zhuqing's dagger was even more terrifying than he had anticipated.

Even though he had continuously used Soul Power to suppress the poison in his body, it inevitably began to spread through him.

At that moment, Zhao Wuji could clearly feel the circulation of his Soul Power growing increasingly sluggish. Even his body was slowly becoming numb and losing sensation.

Realizing this, Zhao Wuji's expression became increasingly bitter.

The amount of poison was not much, and this little poison would not kill him, but it was enough to paralyze his body and eventually leave him unable to resist.

If that really happened, he would be utterly humiliated.

No, this absolutely can't happen.

With that thought, Zhao Wuji could no longer worry about anything else. In the next moment, he directly activated his Fifth Soul Skill.

As the black Soul Ring released a brilliant radiance, Tang San and Zhu Zhuqing felt enormous pressure descend from every direction at once. Their bodies began flying uncontrollably toward Zhao Wuji, while the pressure from all around seemed as though it would crush them to pieces.

It was Zhao Wuji's Fifth Soul Skill, Gravity Squeeze.

The power of a Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring was indeed astonishing. At the very least, neither Tang San nor Zhu Zhuqing had the ability to break free from such restraints.

However, Zhao Wuji's plan failed once again. His luck was simply terrible this time, because the two people he had encountered were both overpowered cheaters.

Thus, just as Tang San and Zhu Zhuqing were hit, they both brought out their tricks. Tang San moved first. He suddenly lowered his head, and with a crisp crack, a seven-inch Crossbow Arrow shot abruptly from his back, flying straight toward Zhao Wuji's roaring open mouth.

Zhu Zhuqing, who had exhausted all her strength without being able to break free, did not continue to struggle. Instead, she handed control of her body back to Li Ang.

Li Ang still cared for his disciple, after all. Although he had said he did not intend to help earlier, seeing his disciple being bullied, he still took control of Zhu Zhuqing's body.

In the next instant, Zhu Zhuqing's body twisted sharply through the air like a swimming fish. She actually used the gravity pressing in from all directions to break through the restraints of Zhao Wuji's Fifth Soul Skill.

Having regained control of the body, Li Ang activated Zhu Zhuqing's First Soul Skill, Hell Stab. Her body suddenly accelerated, and with a flick of her right hand, she threw the remaining hilt in her hand. The blade Zhao Wuji had originally tossed onto the ground automatically flew back.

Seizing the chance while Zhao Wuji was stunned by Tang San's Crossbow Arrow, Zhu Zhuqing rapidly approached him. The dagger in her hand flashed like lightning as it stabbed toward Zhao Wuji's right eye.

For Zhao Wuji, his eyes were among his most vulnerable weak points. Seeing the dagger coming straight for his eye, Zhao Wuji instinctively closed his eyes.

At the same time, one hand shot out and gripped the dagger's blade firmly.

Although the dagger in Zhu Zhuqing's hand contained deadly poison, it was not especially sharp. At the very least, it could not break through Zhao Wuji's defenses after his Soul Spirit Avatar.

This time, prepared for it, Zhao Wuji was extremely wary of Zhu Zhuqing's dagger. Even if Zhu Zhuqing used Soul Power to launch the blade outward, its force could not break free from Zhao Wuji's restraint.

However, what Zhao Wuji did not know was that Li Ang's attack was merely a feint. At the instant Zhao Wuji instinctively closed his eyes—

Another dagger, identical in appearance to the first, appeared in Li Ang's left hand and viciously stabbed down toward the back of Zhao Wuji's neck.

Though they looked exactly alike, and the materials of both daggers were indeed the same—both were made from the venomous fangs of a Ten Thousand Year Black King Snake—

There was actually a slight difference between them. Though the former was coated with deadly poison, its sharpness could only be considered ordinary.

The latter, however, was different. This dagger had been refined by that Forging Grandmaster. Its sharpness alone was sufficient to break through the defenses of a Soul Sage who had not activated Martial Soul Avatar.

Furthermore, the poison contained in this dagger took effect faster and was even more potent.

Naturally, Li Ang had devised this arrangement. One dagger was called Soul Snatcher, while the other was called Life Taker.

Soul Snatcher was merely used to lower the enemy's guard. The one that truly contained deadly killing intent was the second dagger, Life Taker.

In Li Ang's left hand, Life Taker's power was brought to its fullest. It easily pierced into the back of Zhao Wuji's neck.

The instant the dagger entered flesh, the poison stored within it continuously seeped into Zhao Wuji's body through its patterns.

At the same time, Li Ang, having completed his effective strike, vanished from the spot at once, preventing Zhao Wuji from launching a final desperate counterattack.

But clearly, Zhao Wuji no longer had the strength to counterattack.
