Intense Battle and Eliminations

Jia Youcai pondered briefly and made his decision: he could not allow the situation to drag on any longer. He had to end this quickly and take out one or two opponents first. If they were continuously worn down by the enemy, his side would inevitably lose.

With that in mind, Jia Youcai felt it was necessary to use his ten-thousand-year Left Arm Spirit Bone Skill.

His gaze blazed as he swiftly swept it toward Gu Qingbo in the distance. Then, he let out a low shout. The light from his left arm spirit bone suddenly surged, and vast, majestic power of rock and stone burst forth from within him. The ground trembled violently in response.

In an instant, several sword-sharp stone spikes burst from the ground beneath Gu Qingbo's feet, trapping her within and leaving her unable to move.

This move was locked onto her by the spirit skill. She had nowhere to run.

Gu Qingbo's expression changed dramatically. She struggled with all her strength, yet could not break free from the stone spikes. Then, Jia Youcai suddenly spat out a blazing Phoenix Flame that roared toward Gu Qingbo.

The flames instantly enveloped her, setting her clothes ablaze in an instant as she let out an agonized scream. Yet just as the fire was about to completely consume her, a faint protective barrier suddenly appeared around her out of nowhere, keeping the flames outside.

After flickering several times, Gu Qingbo's figure gradually turned transparent before finally vanishing. This undoubtedly declared her elimination.

Jia Youcai did not pause in the slightest. He immediately turned his sharp gaze toward Shen Liuyu on the other side.

At that moment, Shen Liuyu also keenly sensed the immense threat posed by Jia Youcai. With a sharp cry, she unleashed her Third Spirit Skill—Azure Water's Rampage.

A thick, python-like column of water shot from her hand, carrying overwhelming force as it surged fiercely toward Jia Youcai.

Jia Youcai sneered and activated his left arm spirit bone again. This time, the sand and gravel across the ground began to churn madly, forming a massive storm of quicksand and shattered stone like raging tides.

The storm then met the water column with even greater force. The two collided in an instant, producing a deafening boom. Under the violent impact of the quicksand and gravel, the water column gradually dissipated, while the storm charged unstoppably toward Shen Liuyu.

Shen Liuyu's face instantly turned pale as paper. She tried to evade, but it was already too late.

The quicksand and gravel storm tightly engulfed her, and its immense impact nearly left her unable to breathe.

Just like Gu Qingbo, a faint protective barrier appeared around her at that moment, shielding her within it. After flickering a few times, Shen Liuyu's figure also gradually became transparent before finally disappearing. She too had been eliminated.

At that moment, Yan Lingzhuo descended from the sky, walked over, and lightly patted Jia Youcai on the shoulder. "Impressive! You eliminated both of them in one go."

"Of course." Jia Youcai straightened up. In front of beautiful women, absolute confidence was essential.

On the other side, Yan Xiaoran was gradually finding it difficult to hold on under the attacks of Yu Hairou and Shui Yue'er. Though the Flame Armor on his body possessed astonishing defensive power, its glow was gradually dimming under the two women's relentless attacks.

Yan Xiaoran was extremely anxious. He knew that if this continued, he would eventually be worn to death.

Thus, he let out a roar. His Third Spirit Ring lit up, and the Flame Armor instantly erupted with powerful force, blasting away the surrounding water arrows and Ice Blades.

Seizing that opening, Yan Xiaoran kicked off the ground and charged rapidly toward Yu Hairou. He intended to take out this opponent first.

But just as Yan Xiaoran approached Yu Hairou, an ice-blue ring suddenly spread outward from Yu Hairou. Shui Bing'er had acted, casting Resisting Ice Ring on Yu Hairou.

The ice ring carried bone-piercing cold and immense repulsive force. Yan Xiaoran had barely approached and had no time to attack before he was violently blasted away by that force. He staggered in midair and only barely managed to steady himself, inwardly realizing that things were bad.

At that moment, snowflakes swirled around Xue Wu, who possessed the Dancing Snow Forging Martial Soul. Her Third Spirit Ring lit up, and a massive ice-and-snow storm appeared out of thin air, sweeping toward Yan Xiaoran with a howling roar. Everywhere it passed, the ground was instantly covered in ice.

Yu Hairou, who possessed the Coral Barracuda Martial Soul, was no less formidable. The Coral Barracuda in her hand shone brilliantly as her Third Spirit Skill activated. Countless sharp coral spikes burst from beneath the earth, shooting toward Yan Xiaoran like arrows.

Shui Yue'er, who possessed the Jade Dolphin Martial Soul, gave a soft shout. Her Third Spirit Ring flashed, and waves of jade-colored water spread outward from her. Though these waves appeared gentle, they contained immense power and instantly sealed off the space around Yan Xiaoran.

Yan Xiaoran felt the three powerful forces tightly surrounding him, and his heart jolted in alarm.

He hurriedly mobilized the Soul Power within him. The Flame Armor on his body shone once more as he tried to withstand the ferocious incoming attacks.

At the same time, Huo Wu also saw Yan Xiaoran's peril. Her Third Spirit Ring lit up, and a massive Resisting Fire Ring attached itself to Yan Xiaoran, attempting to block the impact of those three forces and buy him some time.

The Resisting Fire Ring collided with the ice-and-snow storm, coral spikes, and jade water waves, unleashing a series of violent booms. Flames and ice intermingled, water sprayed everywhere, and the coral spikes sizzled beneath the flames' scorching heat.

However, although Huo Wu's Resisting Fire Ring was powerful, it could only hold them off for a time. Under the continuous Soul Power output of Xue Wu, Yu Hairou, and Shui Yue'er, the ring's glow gradually dimmed.

In the end, the three forces broke through the Resisting Fire Ring and slammed fiercely into Yan Xiaoran. Although the Flame Armor resisted with all its might, cracks gradually appeared under such overwhelming attacks.

With a boom, the Flame Armor shattered completely. Yan Xiaoran was struck by the massive force and sent flying backward. A faint protective barrier appeared around him, and after flickering several times, his figure gradually turned transparent before finally disappearing. He too had been eliminated.

In less than a few minutes, the number of people on the field had abruptly gone from seven versus seven to five versus five.

"Fall back," Shui Bing'er called to her teammates.

Shui Yue'er and Yu Hairou immediately retreated to Shui Bing'er's side.

Taking advantage of this opening, a flame from Yan Lingzhuo's hand landed precisely on Yan Jinfeng, who had been frozen at the front, melting the solid ice.

Yan Jinfeng hurriedly mobilized his Soul Power as well, breaking free from his frozen state before immediately retreating.

"Give me a spicy strip," Yan Jinfeng said, reaching out to Chi Lingxuan.

Chi Lingxuan quickly condensed a spicy strip between his hands and tossed it over.

After Yan Jinfeng quickly ate it, the firepower that Shui Bing'er had previously weakened flared back to life.
