Strength Speaks for Itself, Now Shut Up

Black Fiend was a Power Type Soul Master at the Soul Sect level. His strength was enough to break the Wind Blade Cage.

"You can't hold me! Haha!"

"Is that so?"

Feng Xiaotian grinned.

As Black Fiend caught his breath, the Wind Blade Cage he had shattered closed again, trapping him once more.

The skill that had just broken the Wind Blade Cage was his Third Soul Skill, Diamond Fist.

Whenever Power Type Soul Masters used brute-force soul skills, they consumed a portion of their Soul Power.

Feng Xiaotian had seized upon exactly that.

If he forced Black Fiend to expend it a few more times, he would no longer have enough Soul Power to break the Wind Blade Cage.

Trapped inside the Wind Blade Cage again, Black Fiend charged about like a headless fly, furious and frantic.

"You little bastard, once I get out, I'll kill you!"

Black Fiend used Diamond Fist again.

The Wind Blade Cage was torn open once more.

But in an instant, the gap closed again.

Black Fiend was panting heavily, his fists covered in blood.

Seeing that things were going badly, the other members of the Seven Kill Team began to worry.

"Captain Bai, what do we do now?"

White Fiend had long been itching to make a move.

But Black Fiend had proposed the one-on-one duel himself. If White Fiend stepped in to help before so many spectators and Manager Ao, where would Black Fiend's pride go?

Just as White Fiend hesitated, Black Fiend's agonized screams rang out from within the Wind Blade Cage.

"Ah!"

"Brother Bai, save me!"

Feng Xiaotian had compressed the Wind Blade Cage, and the rapidly spinning wind blades savagely tore through Black Fiend's body.

"Stop!"

White Fiend made his move.

But his target was not Feng Xiaotian. It was Shui Yue'er.

The instant he attacked, dozens of sharp blades shot toward Shui Yue'er.

Feng Xiaotian immediately stopped, throwing up a Wind Wall before Shui Yue'er in his panic. A burst of clattering rang out afterward.

If you couldn't have it, you destroyed it—diverting attention to strike elsewhere.

White Fiend really was a shameless, underhanded bastard.

Shui Bing'er and the others hurried over.

"Yue'er, are you all right?"

"I'm fine. Good thing Brother Tian was here."

"Don't worry. I said I would protect all of you."

White Fiend helped Black Fiend to his feet.

The sight of Black Fiend left everyone stunned.

With Black Fiend trapped inside the Wind Blade Cage, no one outside could see what kind of torment he had suffered within.

Now, he was covered in wounds. The flesh on his entire right arm was mangled and bloody, and he could not lift it at all.

"What happened? How did Black Fiend get hurt so badly?"

"That windstorm was way too powerful, wasn't it?"

"Yeah, Black Fiend's arm is practically ruined."

"It looks like their team doesn't have a healing-type Soul Master."

"We underestimated that young Soul Master."

Seeing Black Fiend's miserable state, the Seven Kill Team members were enraged.

"Boss, hang in there. We'll avenge you!"

"Brothers, summon your Martial Souls!"

With an angry roar, White Fiend summoned his Martial Soul and released his Soul Rings.

He turned out to be a Weapon Soul Master. His Martial Soul was Flying Blade, and he possessed four Soul Rings in a top-tier configuration: two yellow and two purple.

The others had different Martial Souls—turtle, black eagle, long snake, and more—all ordinary Beast Souls.

Their Soul Rings were rather uneven, much like Black Fiend's: white, yellow, and purple.

Other than White Fiend, no one else on the team seemed particularly gifted.

Their previous eight consecutive victories were due partly to all of them being above Spirit Level 45 and rich in combat experience, and partly to their ruthless methods.

But this time, they had encountered true opponents.

Compared to the Seven Kill Team, the Light Wind Team was superior in both Martial Souls and Soul Rings.

Feng Xiaotian's Gale Twin-Headed Wolf and Shui Bing'er's Ice Phoenix in particular were both top-tier Beast Souls.

Aside from Feng Xiaotian's exceptional Soul Ring Configuration, Shui Bing'er, Xue Wu, Huo Wu, and Huo Wushuang all had top-tier configurations of two yellow and two purple rings.

Shui Yue'er and Xiao Luo had top-tier configurations of two yellow and one purple ring.

Seeing the situation on the platform, the previously restless spectators fell silent.

Every member of the Light Wind Team possessed a top-tier Soul Ring Configuration, creating a tremendous visual impact on the audience.

Earlier, they had been shouting for the Seven Kill Team to tear the Light Wind Team apart.

Now, every one of them had shut their mouths.

Manager Ao was likewise startled by the Soul Rings on the Light Wind Team's side.

Only then did he realize that the Light Wind Team's confidence came entirely from their own talent and strength.

The situation was almost exactly the same as when the Shrek Seven Devils had faced the Berserk Team.

The difference was that tonight's match was a Soul Sect-level team battle, and it would be even more exciting.

To give her teammates more time to prepare, Shui Bing'er was the first to unleash a group control skill: Ice Seal.

The seven opponents were instantly sealed in ice.

However, they were all at the Soul Sect level, so breaking the ice was no difficult task.

As a Power Type Soul Master, Black Fiend was the first to break free.

Although his right hand was injured, he did not step down from the Soul Fighting Platform. Instead, he chose to fight alongside his teammates.

Almost at the same time, White Fiend shattered the ice binding him as well.

In an instant, countless Flying Blades hurtled toward Feng Xiaotian and the others.

That was White Fiend's Second Soul Skill, Myriad Blades Unleashed.

As Feng Xiaotian formed a Wind Wall, Shui Bing'er also activated her group defensive skill, Ice Ring Armor.

Under the dual protection of the Wind Wall and Ice Ring Armor, the countless Flying Blades failed to harm any member of the Light Wind Team.

Feng Xiaotian wanted to end the battle quickly.

"Wushuang, fly up and deal with that black eagle overhead."

"Bing'er and Xue Wu, prepare to use Martial Soul Fusion. Xiao Luo, protect them from the side."

"Huo Wu, use Resisting Fire Ring and buy them some time."

"Yue'er, prepare Extreme Cold Tornado. I'll merge with it."

"Got it!"

After hearing Feng Xiaotian's arrangements, everyone took their positions.

Huo Wushuang flew into the air.

Huo Wu unleashed her Third Soul Skill, Resisting Fire Ring. Blazing Fire illuminated the entire Soul Fighting Platform, sending several opposing Soul Masters flying dozens of meters away.

Shui Yue'er unleashed her Third Soul Skill, Extreme Cold Tornado. At the same time, Feng Xiaotian used Wind Blade Cage again. The two quickly merged into an Ice Blade Cage, enveloping White Fiend, the strongest member of the opposing team.

The Ice Blade Cage was more powerful than the Wind Blade Cage because it continuously consumed the trapped person's Soul Power.

White Fiend barely managed to punch open a gap, but it immediately closed again.

Only then did he feel the despair Black Fiend had experienced earlier.

This was the strongest opponent the Seven Kill Team had encountered since entering the Suo Tuo City Great Soul Arena.

Black Fiend was injured, White Fiend was trapped, and without a commander, the Seven Kill Team fell into chaos.

To rescue White Fiend, Black Fiend gathered all his Soul Power and tried to break the Ice Blade Cage from the outside.

But when he threw a punch, he was actually blasted backward.

He had already consumed a great deal of Soul Power trying to break the cage earlier. His current Soul Power was not enough to shatter the fused Ice Blade Cage.

All of a sudden, dark clouds filled the sky.

As everyone wondered what was happening, countless snowflakes drifted down from above.
