Sword of Judgment

The moment the Extreme Ice Hell White Tiger took shape, the temperature of the entire arena plummeted by more than ten degrees.

The Ice Crystal White Tiger stepped out, and with each step, a layer of frost-white covered the stone bricks beneath its feet.

Xiao Hongchen reacted extremely quickly.

With Sacrifice of Gold pushed to its limit, the metal netting covering the arena detached from the ground and transformed into hundreds of metal chains, Entanglement the White Tiger from all directions.

The metal wires became brittle much faster at low temperatures than he had anticipated, but there was enough of it; when one broke, another was added, layer after layer.

"Entangle it!" Xiao Hongchen gritted his teeth, unleashing a torrent of Soul Power.

Meng Hongchen made his move simultaneously.

The Ice-Fire Poison Dragon Drill was unleashed, its spiraling energy of interwoven ice and fire aimed directly at the White Tiger's side.

Lin Xi stacked the light barrier of the Wall of Tenacity into three layers, piling them all on the front.

Li Yan's five Soul Cannon locked onto the White Tiger's head once again, and with the amplification of Xiao Xiafeng's Soul Power, they fired in unison. Mi Jia cut in at high speed from the flank, attempting to harass and disrupt the rhythm of the fusion technique.

Seven people, all their cards up their sleeves, all at once.

Then it all shattered.

The Extreme Ice Hell White Tiger raised its front paw and stomped down.

A chilling force exploded from beneath its feet, instantly freezing the entire arena floor into ice. Xiao Hongchen's metal chains brittled the moment they touched the ice on the White Tiger's body.

When Meng Hongchen's Ice-Fire Poison Dragon Drill struck the White Tiger, it didn't even leave a white mark; the ice and fire energy was directly devoured by the Netherworld Power.

Li Yan's Soul Cannon beam struck the White Tiger's head, but the White Tiger didn't even flinch.

Mi Jia rushed halfway before the expanding frozen field slowed him down by 70%, leaving him feeling like he was submerged in glue.

Xiao Hongchen's face darkened completely.

Captain Ma Rulong, who had been standing at the very back of the Sun Moon formation and hadn't made a move since the start of the match, had now closed his eyes.

The Chapter of Sacrifice has quietly begun.

The next second, a strange golden light shone from Ma Rulong's body.

As Dai Huabin controlled the Hell White Tiger to push forward, he caught a glimpse of the changes in Ma Rulong out of the corner of his eye.

His heart skipped a beat.

The Sword of Judgment has arrived.

"Everyone, watch out for Ma Rulong!" Dai Huabin shouted.

But it was too late.

Ma Rulong suddenly opened his eyes, golden light overflowing from his pupils. Between his hands, a golden giant sword nearly two meters long was taking shape.

Ma Rulong's aura was rapidly weakening. He was burning his essence and overdrawing his cultivation to forcibly activate a Soul Tool far exceeding his own level.

The golden greatsword was fully formed.

The nine Core Array on the sword lit up one after another, and with each one that lit up, Ma Rulong's face paled a little more.

White light flowed down from the left side of the sword, while black light spread upwards from the right side; two completely different forces coexisted distinctly on the same sword.

The eighth-level peak Soul Tool, the Sword of Judgment.

Ma Rulong raised his giant sword high with both hands, and white light rose in rings beneath his feet, lifting him into the air.

"Awaken, Sword of Judgment!"

His voice was hoarse, weak from exhaustion, but the power in the sword continued to rise.

The entire room fell silent for a moment.

Then Ma Rulong turned the black side of the sword blade toward Dai Huabin and Zhu Lu.

Dai Huabin's pupils contracted.

"They are darkness, they are heretics!"

An invisible black light shot out from the blade.

Just when everyone thought the attack was aimed at Ma Xiaotao, Ma Rulong's strike went directly towards the Hell White Tiger.

"Huabin!"

Ling Luochen exclaimed in surprise.

However, just as the black light was about to completely disintegrate the core of the fusion technique, a crimson figure descended from the sky.

It was Ma Xiaotao; she had somehow already flown to the front of the Hell White Tiger.

With her phoenix wings fully spread, Ma Xiaotao unleashed the full power of her Evil Fire Phoenix Soul Power, forming a Soul Power Barrier in front of her. She transformed into a phantom phoenix burning with dark red flames.

Hei Mang collided head-on with Ma Xiaotao.

"Sister Xiaotao!" Dai Huabin blurted out.

The black light entered her body. The dark red phoenix Lie Yan surrounding Ma Xiaotao instantly turned pitch black. She froze in mid-air, clutching her chest tightly, her face contorted in extreme pain.

The Evil Fire that had been suppressed within her for many years was completely ignited by the dark power of the Sword of Judgment.

"Ma Xiaotao!" Dai Yueheng turned around in the front row, his voice changing.

Ma Xiaotao fell from the sky.

Her body was convulsing uncontrollably, black flames were bursting from her pores, and the excruciating pain in her meridians prevented her from even screaming.

The Evil Fire raged within her body, burning every meridian.

This is the worst-case scenario.

The power of judgment from the Sword of Judgment resonated with the Evil Fire, fully activating the most unstable part of Ma Xiaotao's power.

Dai Huabin did not hesitate.

He decisively severed the resonance of his Soul Power with Zhu Lu, and the Extreme Ice Hell White Tiger vanished with a roar.

Zhu Lu staggered a step, but quickly regained her balance.

The moment the White Tiger dissipated, Dai Huabin rushed out and caught Ma Xiaotao before she hit the ground.

At this moment, Ma Xiaotao's body temperature was frighteningly high, and black flames were spreading upwards along Dai Huabin's arm. Only his White Tiger Vajra Transformation and Mechanical Ice could block them.

"Xiaotao Tao! Can you hear me?"

Ma Xiaotao's consciousness was fading; her lips were trembling, and the black flames burned ever brighter.

We can't delay any longer.

Dai Huabin looked up towards the players' seating area.

The white-haired girl was standing by the railing of the players' bench, looking over here expressionlessly.

"Xue'er!"

Xue Qingyao, or rather, Snow Empress, nodded slightly.

Dai Huabin exerted force with both arms, throwing Ma Xiaotao towards the contestants' bench. His Soul Power precisely enveloped Ma Xiaotao's body, controlling her flight trajectory to ensure an accurate landing.

Xue Qingyao leaped forward and caught Ma Xiaotao in mid-air.

She placed her hands on Ma Xiaotao's chest, and an extreme burst of icy power instantly poured out.

White ice crystals spread from her palm and rapidly extended along Ma Xiaotao's body.

The raging black flames, upon contact with this icy power, seemed to be choked, struggling violently for a few moments before being gradually suppressed.

Xue Qingyao carried Ma Xiaotao to the contestants' bench, where ice crystals had completely enveloped Ma Xiaotao, turning her into an ice cocoon.

"The fire has been brought under control; there is no immediate danger to his life," Xue Qingyao's clear, cold voice reached Dai Huabin's ears.

Upon hearing this, Dai Huabin felt a sense of relief.

Then he turned back.

Facing the Sun Moon Team.

The air in the ring changed.

The game isn't over yet.

Ma Rulong knelt on the ground, the light of the Sword of Judgment had dimmed considerably, and he himself was weak from overdrawing his life essence.

But he hadn't fallen yet, and the others from the Sun Moon were still standing.

Xiao Hongchen is reassembling the metal fragments, Meng Hongchen is adjusting her Soul Power, and Lin Xi's Wall of Tenacity is still in operation.

They thought they still had a chance.

Dai Huabin stood in the center of the arena, and a chilling aura slowly spread around him.

Zhu Lu walked to his side, said nothing, but gently touched the back of his hand.

"Lulu, go to the flank."

"Um."

Dai Yueheng stepped back from the front row, his expression more solemn than ever before.

"Huabin, how is Xiaotao?"

"The situation has stabilized for now."

Dai Yueheng nodded, clenching his fist.

west dropped his playful demeanor, and lightning crackled around him.

Ling Luochen's icy mist spread again, and the temperature was several degrees lower than before.

Gongyang Mo's seven-colored light continued to output steadily, and each amplification fell upon everyone.

Dai Huabin took a deep breath.

Then he began to lift the lockdown.

The White Tiger Protection Barrier is activated at full power.

White Tiger Vajra Transformation, Ultimate Amplification.

The Fifth Soul Skill, Holy Light White Tiger Transformation, causes the Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring to bloom once more.

Triple boost, fully maximized.

This time is different from before. Before, we were controlling our output, probing, and fighting a war of attrition against the Sun and Sun Moon.

This time, he has no intention of leaving any room for maneuver.

The right arm is ice-crystalled.

The Ice Empress's Pincer fully unfolded, its entire right arm turning a translucent ice-blue, with three sharp ice blades extending from its fingertips.

Simultaneous ice crystallization occurred in the left arm.

The Domain of Eternal Freeze opens.
