Lone Wolf Fights Two (Part 2)

Two powerful forces collided violently in an instant, erupting with a deafening roar.

The purple beam initially gained a slight advantage, flaring brilliantly as it forced the golden beam back step by step. Its advantage gradually expanded, even pushing the golden beam back.

In the end, the two energies exploded fiercely near Dai Mubai, and the powerful shockwave swept dust into the sky.

However, Jia Youcai did not care about any of that. His gaze sharpened, and he moved like lightning, continuing to charge toward Dai Mubai.

Dai Mubai reacted swiftly. He clenched his left fist and punched at Jia Youcai, but Jia Youcai remained calm, raising his left palm to meet it steadily.

Their powers collided with a dull thud.

After forcing Dai Mubai back a short distance, Jia Youcai instantly curled his right hand into a claw and viciously slashed at Dai Mubai's face. Dai Mubai reacted quickly, leaning back to deftly evade the strike. At the same time, he seized the opening and threw a straight right punch.

Jia Youcai easily shifted aside and dodged Dai Mubai's attack, then suddenly kicked forward, his leg cutting through the air with a howl. Dai Mubai had already been prepared. He leaped back a step and steadied himself while rapidly condensing a golden sphere of light in his hand.

Not to be outdone, Jia Youcai's body crackled with lightning as he quickly condensed a sphere of thunder, electric arcs darting wildly around it.

They launched their attacks forward almost simultaneously. The two energies collided fiercely at close range, bursting into dazzling light as the powerful shockwave sent them both flying back.

Dai Mubai still had a brief moment to catch his breath and recover, but Jia Youcai had no such opportunity, because Zhu Zhuqing had already attacked. Her claws flashed with cold light and instantly pierced into Jia Youcai's chest. Yet before they could sink any deeper, he had already seized her arm with one hand.

Jia Youcai viciously clawed at Zhu Zhuqing with his other hand. Zhu Zhuqing flashed aside and deftly dodged it, but when she tried to retreat, she discovered that one of her arms was firmly gripped by Jia Youcai, impossible to break free from.

Zhu Zhuqing instinctively clenched her fist and struck at Jia Youcai's head. Jia Youcai showed no fear, taking her punch head-on as he threw his full strength into a blow at her abdomen. The punch was immensely powerful and sent her flying.

Jia Youcai rushed over, gathering strength in his right fist as he prepared to attack Zhu Zhuqing again.

Dai Mubai, standing nearby, saw that things were going badly and panicked. Regardless of the massive Soul Power it would consume, he unleashed White Tiger Meteor Shower at Jia Youcai once more. Spheres of light came hurtling toward Jia Youcai again like meteors.

Seeing those troublesome spheres of light, Jia Youcai frowned. He had no choice but to abandon his attack on Zhu Zhuqing, or he would collide head-on with the meteor shower.

At that moment, Zhu Zhuqing's Fourth Spirit Ring lit up. She cried out, "Fourth Spirit Skill, Netherworld Shadow Clone."

This spirit skill could divide her into multiple clones. These clones possessed a degree of offensive power for a short time and were not merely illusions.

In an instant, several figures of Zhu Zhuqing appeared out of thin air, surrounding Jia Youcai from all sides.

Jia Youcai's gaze was piercing as he stared intently at the Zhu Zhuqing clones around him. The lightning around his body surged even more violently, crackling and popping.

Jia Youcai snorted coldly, then flashed forward toward one of the Zhu Zhuqings. He arrived before the clone in an instant, his right fist wrapped in lightning as he smashed it forward.

"Boom!" The clone was struck by Jia Youcai's punch and instantly dispersed into black smoke. However, before he could even catch his breath, the other clones attacked simultaneously from every direction, their claws raining down upon him.

Jia Youcai focused on attacking with all his strength. He dodged what he could and endured whatever he could not. He constantly swung both fists, knocking back every clone that drew near. But there were too many clones, and he gradually found himself unable to keep up. Several bloody gashes appeared on his body, blood slowly flowing from the wounds.

The next moment, the lightning around Jia Youcai suddenly surged, forming a massive thunderball that enveloped him. Electric arcs flickered over the thunderball, emitting a sharp sizzle.

"Fourth Spirit Skill, Electromagnetic Thunder Field—Full-Area Coverage!" Jia Youcai roared as the thunderball instantly exploded, countless thick bolts of lightning shooting madly in every direction like serpents.

"Sizzle! Sizzle! Sizzle!" Wherever the lightning passed, clones were struck one after another. They let out pained cries before turning into black smoke and dispersing. In mere moments, most of the clones had been destroyed, leaving only a few still resisting stubbornly.

Jia Youcai seized the opportunity to rush out of the thunderball and launch a fierce attack on the remaining clones.

Just as Jia Youcai was about to eliminate every clone, Dai Mubai suddenly charged out from the side. Brilliant golden light of the White Tiger blazed around him. This was an improved version of his Fourth Spirit Ring ability, and he roared, "White Tiger Comet Strike!"

This time, the spheres of light that should have scattered outward as White Tiger Meteor Shower all converged at a single point, crashing toward Jia Youcai like a gigantic meteorite.

Jia Youcai was startled. He had not expected Dai Mubai to unleash such a powerful spirit skill again in so short a time. But he did not retreat. Gritting his teeth, he shouted, "Violent Thunder Strike!" A bolt of lightning as thick as a python blasted from his hand.

The lightning collided head-on with the concentrated "White Tiger Comet," erupting in a deafening boom. The violent energy shockwave spread outward like a raging tide, stripping a layer from the ground wherever it passed and sending dust soaring into the sky.

Jia Youcai felt an immense force travel along the lightning, numbing his arm and forcing him backward. Every step he took left a deep footprint in the ground, showing just how powerful the strike was.

Dai Mubai did not fare well either. The force of the lightning rebounded through the "White Tiger Comet," making his chest feel tight and causing his blood and energy to churn. But he endured the discomfort and maintained his Soul Power output with all his strength.

Zhu Zhuqing's remaining clones also seized this chance to attack Jia Youcai from different directions. Jia Youcai cursed inwardly, This woman is way too annoying. He split off part of his energy and knocked the clones back one by one.

But Zhu Zhuqing was risking everything. Completely ignoring the consumption of her own Soul Power, whenever the clones in front were driven back, she summoned more. As long as even one of them could strike Jia Youcai, Dai Mubai's White Tiger Comet could successfully take him down.

After being tormented by this husband-and-wife duo, Jia Youcai was gradually convinced. He had come here perfectly well to practice his martial spirit—how had it ended with them fighting for their lives?

He shouted helplessly, "Alright, alright, you win." Then he slowly withdrew his Soul Power.

Upon hearing those words, Zhu Zhuqing, utterly exhausted, collapsed directly onto the arena. Jia Youcai's punch had inflicted severe damage on her, and combined with the injuries she had suffered earlier in the tornado, she had already been badly wounded. It was remarkable that she had endured until the end without a word.

However, Dai Mubai was only slightly better off than Jia Youcai. Both of them were practically half-dead. He swayed as he stood on the arena, gasping for breath.
