The Healing Scepter Soul Masters were all stunned. This Ten-Thousand-Year Spirit Beast was far too good at finishing people off. After smacking someone away, it even put on a foolishly adorable expression, scratched its head, then sat back down and pretended to be innocent.
Qian Renxue raised an eyebrow as well. Her grandfather had been right—some spirit beasts were not lacking in intelligence.
However, neither of them had time to think about that. The death god-like countdown continued.
"53!"
Tang Jiu tore apart the Wind Eagle Spirit Master's wings with a single claw. Fortunately, they were formed from Soul Power and could be restored by gathering Soul Power again. Still, he now feared Tang Jiu's speed from the bottom of his heart.
"Hold him back and wear him down. Martial Soul Fusion Skills have time limits. Even if they do not, they will cause his body to collapse!"
Qian Renxue did not panic. Instead, she calmly issued commands.
"Wind Eagle Spirit Master, Wind Surround, Wind Blade Dance!"
"Fire Tiger Spirit Master, Flame Shockwave!"
"Treasure Pagoda Spirit Master, Spirit Power Amplification."
"Healing Spirit Master, prepare Light of Healing."
Qian Renxue did not bother remembering these Spirit Masters' names, but she knew every one of their spirit skills and immediately took command. The team should originally have been led by the Control Type Ice Bird Spirit Master, but he had been instantly killed. Now, only she could command the group.
Moreover, Qian Renxue believed that her command ability was certainly superior to the Ice Bird Spirit Master's. First, her theoretical knowledge was extensive. Second, these Spirit Masters obeyed her absolutely.
Sure enough, the moment Qian Renxue gave the order, the Spirit Masters executed it without a second thought.
The Treasure Pagoda Spirit Master's Third Spirit Skill amplified Soul Power. However, its effect was at most seventy percent of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda's, and he could not use Distraction Multitasking either.
Still, at the cost of expending a great deal of Soul Power, he amplified the Soul Power of the Wind Eagle Spirit Master and the Fire Tiger Spirit Master.
"Second Spirit Skill, Wind Surround!"
"Fifth Spirit Skill, Wind Blade Dance!"
Wind Surround formed a current of air that was originally meant to increase the user's speed. But when this current was set along a fixed path, it could obstruct enemies.
Wind Blade Dance, on the other hand, was an offensive spirit skill. With a wave of the Wind Eagle Spirit Master's claws, countless incredibly fast wind blades formed and savagely sliced at the enemy.
When Tang Jiu encountered the current from Wind Surround, he naturally had to dodge rather than waste time. But the moment he evaded it, he was attacked by the incoming wind blades and could only dodge again, charging through the gaps between the two attacks.
Yet at that moment, a smile appeared at the corner of Qian Renxue's lips. "Attack!"
"Third Spirit Skill, Flame Shockwave!"
The Fire Tiger Spirit Master opened his mouth and spat out a scorching stream of flame. It shot through the gap between the Wind Eagle Spirit Master's two attacks, perfectly blocking all of Tang Jiu's escape routes and leaving him no time to evade.
Tang Jiu swept his bat wings around himself like a cloak and was blasted dozens of meters away by the enormous Flame Shockwave, crashing heavily into a tree.
"Young Master is amazing!" The four Spirit Masters immediately praised her.
But Qian Renxue frowned, because Tang Jiu had landed within the Azure Carved Demon Statue's attack range. Yet that hateful spirit beast simply ignored him, intently picking at its toes.
What worried Qian Renxue even more was that Tang Jiu lightly spread his bat wings and stood completely unharmed. Those cicada-wing-thin bat wings did not even have a tear in them. Only a faint wisp of smoke rose from them, and with a casual flap from Tang Jiu, it quickly went out.
"Not bad! Your intelligence is almost catching up to mine!"
Tang Jiu gave Qian Renxue an approving glance.
"Hmph! Do not get cocky. I will slowly wear you to death! I refuse to believe you can keep using your skill forever. That countdown of yours sounds intimidating, but it also proves that your current state cannot last long!" Qian Renxue said arrogantly.
She was pretty smart.
"You will not get the chance. Breaking your siege will be easy!" Tang Jiu strolled through the air unhurriedly, his bat wings spread behind him, radiating a sinister aura.
"Oh, really?" Qian Renxue did not believe him at all.
"You look smart, but you failed to notice that you exposed your greatest weakness. That is, you are too important! At such a young age, you can make these people obey you so completely. If I attack you, what do you think will happen?"
"21!"
Tang Jiu spat out the cold number and pounced toward Qian Renxue.
"Do not mind me! Continue with the previous strategy!"
Qian Renxue hurriedly gave the order, but this time, no one listened to her. If anything happened to her, not only would these Spirit Masters die, but Spirit Hall would also take its anger out on their families.
They surrounded Qian Renxue in a tight circle, unleashing spirit skills at Tang Jiu as though they cost nothing. Tang Jiu did not rush to attack. He circled around Qian Renxue in flight, dodging their spirit skills.
Ten seconds later, the four Spirit Masters, who had been frantically using their spirit skills, could no longer sustain such expenditure and revealed an opening.
"10!"
Tang Jiu uttered the death countdown, making cold sweat stream down their backs. They no longer had enough Soul Power to keep bombarding him. With a whoosh, Tang Jiu's claw pierced the Treasure Pagoda Spirit Master's chest, then flung him toward the Azure Carved Demon Statue.
This time, the female Spirit Master did not wave her Healing Scepter to heal the Treasure Pagoda Spirit Master. Instead, she conserved her spirit skill and Soul Power in case of emergencies.
Qian Renxue closed her eyes in pain. They had lost!
Seeing another person fly toward it, the Azure Carved Demon Statue mercilessly stretched out its claw and slammed down hard.
Double kill!
At that moment, Qian Renxue discovered that Tang Jiu's speed had increased dramatically again. Her pupils suddenly contracted. "You can even devour speed? Your spirit skill, Speed Deprivation, actually has such an ability!"
"7!"
Tang Jiu did not answer. He merely spoke the countdown coldly before pouncing toward the Fire Tiger Spirit Master at even greater speed.
"First Spirit Skill, Fist of Flame!"
"Fifth Spirit Skill, Fire Tiger Demonic Transformation!"
The Fire Tiger Spirit Master's eyes turned blood-red. He did not even activate his Second Spirit Skill, Fire Ring Bodyguard Shield, and charged straight at Tang Jiu. Ignoring Tang Jiu's incoming claw, he smashed both fists toward Tang Jiu's head, intending to die together with him.
Tang Jiu naturally was not foolish enough to risk his life against him. He withdrew his extended claw, leaped into the air, and viciously kicked at the Fire Tiger Spirit Master's fist.
"Die! An Agility System Spirit Master like you actually dares to compare attack power with me!"
The Fire Tiger Spirit Master laughed madly and punched Tang Jiu's leg with all his might. He wanted to see Tang Jiu sent flying by his punch, but the instant they made contact, he himself flew backward at even greater speed. Bang! Bang! Bang! He smashed through four large trees before staring at Tang Jiu in utter disbelief.
"How can your strength be so powerful?!"
He would never learn the answer, because a huge foot came stomping down at that moment—it belonged to the Azure Carved Demon Statue!
Triple kill!
The Azure Carved Demon Statue nearly threw back its head and roared in excitement. Who said humans were smart? They were just as stupid as it was!
"5!"
Tang Jiu coldly spoke the number. After once again absorbing the Fire Tiger Spirit Master's speed, his own speed soared once more as he charged at the Wind Eagle Spirit Master.
Yet Qian Renxue was not afraid in the slightest. She brushed the ring on her hand, and a golden sacred sword appeared in her grasp.
Like the Sea God's Trident, it was a weapon belonging to a god.
Angel's Sacred Sword!
It possessed divine power like the sun and was the supreme Divine Artifact, with immense power to judge evil and darkness!
