Seeing Smiling Face somehow luckily block his attack for the second time, Calamity of the Mad Python stared directly at Smiling Face, who was slowly rising beside the Soul Fighting Stage, and sneered.
"You can't withstand my attacks at all. You might as well jump down now!"
"Otherwise, your skinny arms and legs will be broken by my next attack!"
As he spoke, Calamity of the Mad Python suddenly froze, as though he had remembered something.
"Something's wrong! Very wrong!"
"The last defensive-type Soul Grandmaster at level twenty-nine who faced my combo could block the first move, but when facing my second move—the power created by combining my first and second soul skills—even with a defensive soul skill activated, he was still sent flying!"
"More importantly, both arms he used to block my second move were fractured!"
"But what is going on with that guy wearing the Comical Smiling Face Mask?!"
"Although his Soul Power is one level higher than mine, his martial soul is a Tool Martial Soul, a longsword. And during that clash just now, he never used a soul skill at all. He only relied on Soul Power and physical strength to fight me!"
At that thought, Calamity of the Mad Python's pupils contracted. The hair on his back stood on end, and he instantly assumed a defensive stance!
In the spectator stands, the audience exchanged bewildered looks upon seeing Calamity of the Mad Python suddenly go on the defensive.
At the same time, most of those who had bet on Calamity of the Mad Python suddenly felt a bad premonition rise in their hearts! Only a few Old Sixes among the crowd revealed strange looks in their eyes. However, seeing the ugly expressions on everyone around them, they held back from shouting.
In a corner of the spectator area, Shi Zheng turned to glance at the grim-faced crowd in the stands and could not help letting out two gloating chuckles. Then, he turned his gaze back to the Soul Fighting Stage and thought to himself.
Little Bai should end this soul battle now, right? His opponent has already seen through him. If he keeps playing around, he'll reveal more abnormalities. It'll be troublesome if word gets out!
On the Soul Fighting Stage, beneath the smiling mask, Yu Bai saw his opponent's stance and understood that he could no longer test any other improvements on him!
Therefore, after getting up, Yu Bai did not waste any words. The second Soul Ring beside him lit up.
"Second Soul Skill, Sword Control Technique!"
As Yu Bai formed a sword gesture with his right hand, the Everlasting Sword that had been embedded in the ground instantly rose into the air!
Then, as Yu Bai pointed remotely at Calamity of the Mad Python, the Everlasting Sword seemed to receive an order and shot toward the tense-faced Calamity of the Mad Python at high speed! Waves of air-tearing sounds even rang out, as though the air itself were being split apart!
Seeing such an attack, Calamity of the Mad Python swallowed. Then his first Soul Ring flashed as well, and his body moved like a python, nimbly dodging the Everlasting Sword's repeated attacks!
In the spectator stands, the audience members who had bet on Calamity of the Mad Python saw that although he was being suppressed on the Soul Fighting Stage, he could still dodge Smiling Face's attacks time and again. Their previous anger eased, and they once again began loudly cheering for Calamity of the Mad Python.
"That's it, Calamity of the Mad Python! Stall him, then find a chance to punch Smiling Face off the stage!"
"Come on, Calamity of the Mad Python! I bet on you to win!"
"Defeat him, Calamity of the Mad Python! Keep going!"
"..."
Rubbing his ears, which had nearly been blown apart by those shouts, Little Fatty Shi Zheng thought irritably to himself.
Let Calamity of the Mad Python win? With what?
You have to know, Little Bai's second soul skill, Sword Control Technique, uses spiritual power to control the Everlasting Sword. Within a hundred-meter range, it strikes wherever he points. Its peak speed is the same as when Yu Bai himself swings the longsword with all his strength! As for its power, that depends on how much Soul Power Yu Bai uses when wielding the sword!
But according to Little Bai's usual habits, shouldn't he have ended his opponent with a single sword strike by now? Why... Could it be that after the Heavenly Dao Rankings' infusion, his strength suddenly improved again, and he hasn't gotten a handle on it yet? Is he afraid of accidentally killing someone, so he's using this battle to familiarize himself with his current strength?
Thinking of this, Little Fatty Shi Zheng unhappily pulled out a strip of meat jerky and began gnawing on it! He cursed inwardly.
Hmph! They're all cheating bastards! Are they going to leave ordinary soul masters like Fatty with any way to survive?!
Hmph! There are two kinds of people Fatty hates most in this life. One is cheating bastards; the other is bastards who won't let Fatty cheat! Hmph!
On the Soul Fighting Stage, Yu Bai was indeed just as Little Fatty had guessed. With the coordination of his spiritual power and Soul Power, coupled with the lifetime of cultivation experience imparted by the Heavenly Dao Rankings from Xiao Yan, he had completely mastered his improved strength in less than a minute!
Watching Calamity of the Mad Python continuously use his dodges of the Everlasting Sword to close in on him, Yu Bai's eyes suddenly erupted with sharp swordlight.
Then, he forcefully kicked off the ground, his body shooting like an arrow from the bow toward Calamity of the Mad Python, who was less than seven meters away!
In an instant, before Calamity of the Mad Python could even react, Yu Bai had already arrived before him. With his right hand formed into a sword gesture, he swiftly thrust it out!
At the same time, behind Calamity of the Mad Python, the Everlasting Sword also shot forward with a hum!
"Bzz!"
At that moment, every hair on Calamity of the Mad Python's body stood on end! His forehead was covered in cold sweat, his face had gone pale, and his heart pounded wildly!
I'll die! I'll die! I'll die!...
As the owner of a snake-type martial soul, those two words were the only thing repeating in Calamity of the Mad Python's mind at this moment!
Before Calamity of the Mad Python could react, Yu Bai's sword fingers were already pointed directly at his throat, as though the slightest exertion of force could pierce straight through it!
"Gulp!"
He swallowed hard. Cold sweat slid down Calamity of the Mad Python's forehead with the motion, falling directly to the ground without him even noticing!
At this moment, Calamity of the Mad Python felt that what pressed against his throat was not a pair of fingers, but a sharp sword gleaming with icy light! It seemed capable of piercing his throat at any moment!
At the same time, he felt a chill at the back of his head, as though he were facing the same fatal danger there!
Thus, Calamity of the Mad Python did not dare move at all. He simply stood there helplessly!
What Calamity of the Mad Python could not see was that the tip of the Everlasting Sword was aimed squarely at the back of his head!
In other words, if Yu Bai had wanted to kill him, then in a single instant, Calamity of the Mad Python's throat and the back of his head would have been pierced simultaneously, leaving him dead on the Soul Fighting Stage!
Outside the Soul Fighting Stage, the host, who had been stunned by the scene, finally came back to his senses. He immediately raised his microphone and shouted excitedly.
"I declare the soul battle over! The winner is Smiling Face! He has now achieved five consecutive victories, with a record of fourteen losses and thirty-three wins!"
"Let us congratulate Smiling Face, Battle Soul Master, on advancing to the Silver Soul Arena Badge!"
