Holy Dragon Sect Team Defeated, Forces from All Sides

The White Armored Earth Dragon roared to the sky, emitting a series of howls, and Zhu Zhuqing, who had just charged forward, was blown back.

Dai Mubai knew that the Holy Dragon Sect was quite powerful, but he never expected that they would have such terrifying strength.

Fortunately, he also had a trump card to deal with it.

Dai Mubai rushed forward instantly and caught Zhu Zhuqing, who was flying back. The two exchanged a glance, and their auras began to merge.

A black and white halo swirled, and terrifying fluctuations of Soul Power began to erupt.

Seeing this, the White Armored Earth Dragon wasn't about to wait foolishly for Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing to merge. In an instant, the White Armored Earth Dragon extended its giant claws and slammed them towards Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing, who were in the process of merging.

Unfortunately, their Martial Soul Fusion Skill is now almost perfect, and the fusion process happens in the blink of an eye.

Just as the dragon's claws came crashing down, a Hell White Tiger, whose size was almost the same as the White Armored Earth Dragon, appeared and also struck out with its own tiger claws to meet the attack.

"Bang!"

The collision of the two giant claws created a shockwave that forced everyone else to retreat.

The combined Martial Soul Fusion Skill unleashed by Dai Mubai (level 64) and Zhu Zhuqing (level 56) was far superior to that of the White Armored Earth Dragon.

However, the White Armored Earth Dragon is, after all, formed by seven Soul Master Spirit King or higher. Even if the amplification effect is not as good as a true Martial Soul Fusion Skill, the fusion of the massive Soul Power of multiple people is enough to surpass the current Hell White Tiger.

If the Hell White Tiger's combat power is 10,000, then the White Armored Earth Dragon formed by the fusion of seven people would be around 12,000.

However, besides the Hell White Tiger, the Third Prince's Team also has Ma Hongjun, who is level 67, and four teammates who are Spirit King. Overall, the Third Prince's Team should be even stronger.

The Hell White Tiger and the White Armored Earth Dragon engaged in a fierce battle. The Hell White Tiger unfurled a pair of enormous wings, gaining the ability to fly, which increased their chances of winning by another ten percent.

However, the White Armored Earth Dragon was not stupid. After sensing the power of the Hell White Tiger, it naturally shifted its attention to everyone except Ma Hongjun, the high-level Soul Emperor.

The White Armored Earth Dragon used its immense strength to push the Hell White Tiger away. Its huge head opened its blood-red maw, and golden light condensed inside, spitting out a beam of light directly at Li Sheng and Zhao Lan at the back.

"Earth Dragon Breath!"

Although this breath was not as powerful as a true dragon's breath, its power was still greater than that of an ordinary Soul Emperor's full-force attack, even though it was comparable to the true form of Soul Saint's White Armored Earth Dragon Martial Soul Avatar.

Even with Long Wu, a level 57 Defense System Spirit King, protecting them, they might not be able to withstand the terrifying beam of light.

However, the diameter of the breath was too large, and the beam of light arrived almost instantaneously, so they had no chance to dodge it.

The Lion King Armor on Long Wu's body shone brightly with golden light, and his first, third, and fifth Soul Ring lit up simultaneously. It was as if a Flame Lion King had appeared on the Spirit Dueling Platform, letting out a roar.

"Flame Barrier!"

"Lion Heart Shield!"

"Lion King Guardian Armor!"

With all three Soul Skill activated simultaneously, the Flame Lion King's body was engulfed in Lie Yan, protecting Li Sheng and Zhao Lan behind it. It directly created a huge Lion King Barrier, attempting to use it to block the White Armored Earth Dragon's breath.

"Ode!"

The beam of light struck the Flame Barrier directly, and Long Wu was thrown backward on the Spirit Dueling Platform by the impact. Li Sheng and Zhao Lan, who were behind him, could not stop him from falling.

Furthermore, the Flame Barrier was damaged, cracking at a visible speed, as if it would shatter at any moment.

However, the Hell White Tiger did not go to the rescue, but instead swooped down directly towards the White Armored Earth Dragon, as if it had transformed into a cross-shaped impact.

"Netherworld White Tiger Break!"

Attack where the enemy must defend. If the White Armored Earth Dragon does not turn around and defend, then taking the full force of the Hell White Tiger head-on will be enough to seriously injure and disintegrate them! At that time, even if Long Wu and the other two fail to block the breath and are eliminated, the seriously injured Tuoba Hu and the others will not be a match for the Hell White Tiger.

Moreover, Ma Hongjun would not stand idly by.

Lie Yan erupted from his body as he plummeted into the sky, his First Spirit Ring igniting and unleashing an equally terrifying burst of Lie Yan!

"First Spirit Ability: Phoenix Flame!"

The pillar of fire spewed forth, directly colliding with the terrifying dragon breath, relieving the pressure on Long Wu. Wind Dragon Martial Soul power was being exhausted from resisting the breath, and like Qin Qiong not far away, he was already somewhat powerless.

However, they are far from being unable to fight. It's just that the clash between the Hell White Tiger and the White Armored Earth Dragon was so intense that they dared not participate in the Soul Power casually.

With its breath blocked, the White Armored Earth Dragon was too late to withdraw its defense against the Hell White Tiger's attack, but it showed no intention of doing so.

The White Armored Earth Dragon's enormous tail swung, instantly more than doubling in size, and lashed out directly at the Hell White Tiger.

"Divine Dragon Tail Sweep!"

The massive dragon tail lashed out the instant the Hell White Tiger's attack landed, blocking the fierce assault. However, even the incredibly powerful dragon tail couldn't completely stop it and shattered.

The shattering of the dragon's tail means that the White Armored Earth Dragon will need to expend a huge amount of Soul Power to condense again.

But at this moment, the White Armored Earth Dragon charged forward under Ma Hongjun's Phoenix Fire Line, determined to eliminate Ma Hongjun and the others in one blow before dealing with the Hell White Tiger.

But Ma Hongjun is not so easy to control.

Not only does he possess level 67 Soul Power, but he also has two Spirit Bones. In addition, with the various enhancements from absorbing Soul Ring and Immortal Grade Pill beyond his level, Ma Hongjun is now comparable to an ordinary Soul Saint. Even when facing this White Armored Earth Dragon, he has never used his full strength.

Since the other party insists on testing the wrath of the Fire Phoenix, Ma Hongjun no longer needs to hold back.

The black Fifth Spirit Ring lit up, and huge Phoenix carrying countless fire chains rushed out, instantly Entanglement and restraining the charging White Armored Earth Dragon.

Fifth Spirit Ability: Phoenix Heart-Devouring Chain!

The terrifying Phoenix Flame on the fire chain scorched the White Armored Earth Dragon, not only preventing it from advancing further, but also allowing Tuoba Hu and the others to feel the explosive power of the Fire Phoenix.

At the same time, Li Sheng also lit up his Fifth Spirit Ring. The Heavenly Machine Lock transformed into a white dragon and rushed out instantly, binding and restraining the White Armored Earth Dragon once again on top of the Phoenix Heart-Devouring Chain.

This is Li Sheng's Fifth Spirit Ability - Dragon Binding Rope!

Although he was only at the Spirit King Realm, under the premise of Ma Hongjun's Fifth Spirit Ability binding, his Heavenly Machine Lock could still be used to tighten the binding without any problem.

When Ma Hongjun was about to make another move after the White Armored Earth Dragon was trapped, a terrifying wave of ghostly light was already poised to strike and locked onto the White Armored Earth Dragon.

Ma Hongjun abandoned the idea of continuing the attack, because he would no longer be needed by him.

"Netherworld White Tiger Blazing Light Wave!"

The power of light and darkness surged from the mouth of the Hell White Tiger, and a wave of Netherworld light ripped through the sky, pouring directly into the back of the White Armored Earth Dragon and bursting out from its head.

"Ah... ah... ah..."

The White Armored Earth Dragon instantly disintegrated, and Tuoba Hu and the others screamed as their Fusion Skill was broken and they were directly Entanglement by fire chains.

The inner fire seemed to burn their souls, Dragon Binding Rope tied the seven of them together, suspending them in mid-air.

Tuoba Hu, the controller of the White Armored Earth Dragon, had already fainted, but his body was still enduring immense pain.

Vice-captain Tuoba Gui roared, "We surrender! We surrender!"

The referee's voice rang out at the opportune moment. "The Third Prince's Team wins against the Holy Dragon Sect Team Third Prince's Team!"

As soon as the referee finished speaking, Ma Hongjun withdrew the fire chain, and the Heavenly Machine Lock also released Tuoba Gui and the others, transforming into a dragon that once again circled around Li Sheng's body.

As the Hell White Tiger disintegrated, Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing glanced intently at the seats of the First Prince Davis and Zhu Zhuyun in the spectator stands.

The group slowly walked down from the Spirit Dueling Platform and returned to the rest room to recover.

This match shows that the strong team they are facing is indeed formidable, but that's about it.

After all, Ma Hongjun only used less than 70% of his strength; he was actually the real trump card.

Dai Weisi watched coldly as Dai Mubai and the others stepped off the Spirit Dueling Platform, then looked at the two black-robed figures beside him. "So, are you confident?"

One of the men in black robes sneered, "As long as you can hold off the Hell White Tiger, I alone am enough to deal with Ma Hongjun."

Dai Weisi felt much better after hearing this. He and Zhu Zhuyun's Hell White Tiger was indeed no match for Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing, but they could definitely hold them off.

Once we deal with the strongest one, Ma Hongjun, the rest will be no threat.

At the far edge of the spectator area, there was another team. They were all dressed in bright gold team uniforms, with a Star Crown embroidered on their chests. The woman in the lead looked to be around twenty-five or twenty-six years old, with unparalleled beauty and outstanding demeanor.

She watched Ma Hongjun's departing figure on the Spirit Dueling Platform, a smile playing on her lips, "Such powerful Phoenix Flame, huh? Too bad your flames are destined to be countered by me..."

"Let's start our Star Crown Sect's first battle to make a name for ourselves by taking down your good brother Sword Sect Young Sect Master."

A handsome man beside her chimed in, "That's right, young master. If the Sword Sect can achieve such a status, our Star Crown Sect won't be much worse off."

Hearing the person beside her agree, the beautiful woman couldn't help but frown slightly. "It seems that because of the emergence of this Sword Sect, several Hermit Sect have been preparing to emerge in recent years."

The handsome man replied, "You mean... that the Divine Fire Gate and the Wind God Valley aren't actually the Blazing Academy and the Godwind Academy in disguise, but rather those two Hermit Sect from back then?"

The Young Sect Master nodded. "Although quite a few people from the Heaven Dou have come, how could the strength of those two academies compare to that of a sect?"

"Moreover, besides these two, there may be other Hermit Sect. Apart from the Continental Advanced Spirit Master Academy Elite Tournament, the Star Luo Empire's National Elite Spirit Master Soul Dueling Tournament is the most eye-catching."

"As long as we can achieve a good ranking in this competition, the moment our sect truly emerges will be the moment it becomes famous throughout the continent."

"There are undercurrents on the mainland now, and it is the beginning of a chaotic world. If we can seize the opportunity to restore order, it will be the time to soar to new heights."

Back in the lounge, Ma Hongjun and the others each ate a Super Recovery Great Sausage to restore their depleted Soul Power and injuries.

Dai Mubai's eyes gleamed. "Hongjun, how did you feel about this battle?"

Ma Hongjun lay on the sofa with a lollipop in his mouth. "According to what you said, there weren't this many experts in the National Tournament in the past. Spirit King Realm was already the main force. Now even a Holy Dragon Sect has Soul Emperor level expert. The various forces on this continent are really producing a lot of talented people."

After a pause, Ma Hongjun took the lollipop out of his mouth and smiled, "But no matter what kind of monsters and demons they come out of, they are still far inferior to us."

"In this battle, only you, Zhuqing's Hell White Tiger, and Qin Qiong exerted their full strength. The rest of us didn't use our full power."

Li Sheng nodded in agreement. "Yes, Your Highness, my Heavenly Machine Lock has not yet shown its true power. Among Spirit King, no one can match my single-target control."

Long Wu's face darkened. "I had to use three Soul Skills in a row to barely block the attack of that White Armored Earth Dragon. I almost died."

Qin Qiong rolled his eyes at Long Wu: "Although you are Defense System Soul Master, your abilities are not limited to just defense. You'll have your chance to shine later."

Zhu Zhuqing and Zhao Lan sat to the side, listening to the men flattering each other. Neither of the two girls had the habit of boasting.

However, they were right. They did not unleash their full strength in this battle, mainly because the Hell White Tiger was indeed powerful enough.

Unless they encounter a team capable of restraining their Hell White Tiger, they are unlikely to lose.

Ma Hongjun suddenly said, "By the way, you should all know about the information that Shadow Hall has gathered, right?"

Upon hearing Ma Hongjun's words, Dai Mubai nodded. This Shadow Hall was a force specifically funded by Oscar for Dai Mubai, led by a Soul Saint- level Pointed Tail Swift Soul Master, and consisting of thirty people.

Although the Pointed Tail Swift don't have particularly strong attack power, their speed is unparalleled. They specialize in secretly gathering intelligence, allowing Dai Mubai to strategize effectively within the court.

During this period, Shadow Hall has been specifically gathering information on various participating teams, and has also uncovered quite a few big names among them.

Putting aside Dai Weisi's cooperation with the Spirit Hall and the fact that he had at least two Soul Emperor supporting him, many other powerful forces had also infiltrated the other participating teams.

The Star Luo Emperor turned a blind eye to this situation, since the participation of these "outsiders" was a valuable experience for his country's talent pool, regardless of the final outcome.

Star Luo Empire established its nation through military might, enjoying great military fortune and Shocking the Four Directions. What it fears least is engaging in underhanded tactics.

After all, the Star Luo Empire is different from the now-declining Heaven Dou Empire. Putting aside the Martial Soul Fusion Skill between the royal family and the Netherworld Duke's Mansion, the royal family itself has three Titled Douluo powerhouses, enough to suppress all the villains.

Dai Mubai said in a deep voice, "Those two sects that are suspected to be Blazing Academy and Godwind Academy may be true Hermit Sect, or perhaps these two academies were established by these two Hermit Sect."

"For some reason, various Hermit Sect are suddenly appearing one after another. Could it be related to the rise of the Sword Sect?"

Zhu Zhuqing, who was standing to the side, spoke up for once, "Besides that, there is also the Star Crown Sect, a powerful sect that has always been hidden in the Star Luo Empire. According to the family's Ancient Tome records, the Star Crown Sect used to have some connections with the Star Luo Empire."

Dai Mubai nodded. "That's right. I heard my father mention it before, but now that they want to come out, they may have already informed my father in advance. There may even be conflicts of interest between them."

"However, since my father is unwilling to say more, I dare not ask any further questions."

Ma Hongjun said dismissively, "Why bother with all that? We'll kill gods and Buddhas if they get in our way. We'll try to get you the crown prince position in one go, and then we'll deal with these monsters and demons slowly."

Hearing Ma Hongjun's words, everyone smiled. His words were crude but true: as long as you have enough strength, all schemes are bullshit.

Li Sheng and Zhao Lan were overjoyed to hear what His Highness and their companions had to say. This time, their allegiance was secure, and perhaps in the near future, their respective families would become behemoths like the Netherworld Duke's Mansion.

P. S.: Typos will be corrected first and then fixed later.
