Crushing Shrek (Part 2)

Seeing this, Tang San felt a sense of foreboding and hurriedly called out a warning.

"Everyone, stop Ling Yun quickly! We must not let him use his soul skill, or we are going to be in big trouble!"

As he spoke, Tang San had already made his move. Several strands of Blue Silver Grass, each as thick as a thumb, shot out like vines, heading straight to entangle Ling Yun.

"First Soul Skill: Entangle!"

"First Soul Skill: Hell Stab!"

At the same time, Zhu Zhuqing also unleashed her soul skill, sprinting toward Ling Yun. As an agility-attack soul master, she was much faster than the others.

However, she was still a step too slow. A dazzling golden light flashed, and Ling Yun had already completed his transformation, turning into a massive tiger three meters tall with a pair of alloy arms.

This was the metal-attribute beast-type warrior: Iron Fist Tiger!

Zhu Zhuqing frowned at the sight, but instead of retreating, she accelerated toward Ling Yun, the second soul ring at her feet flickering with light.

Then, with dazzling speed, Zhu Zhuqing swung her sharp cat claws, suddenly slashing toward Ling Yun's chest.

"Second Soul Skill: Hell Hundred Claws!"

"Heh, little kitty, you're not very polite!"

Ling Yun chuckled, immediately crossing his alloy fists in front of him to block Zhu Zhuqing's attack.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

A series of crisp sounds rang out. Not only did Zhu Zhuqing's cat claws fail to inflict any damage on Ling Yun, but as her sharp claws struck his alloy fists, the immense recoil left her body numb, and a stinging pain radiated from her adorable cat claws.

Just then, Ling Yun clenched his iron fists and swung one toward Zhu Zhuqing. A biting gale whistled forth, whipping against Zhu Zhuqing's fair cheeks and dark hair.

Ling Yun's punch was fierce, and seeing this, Zhu Zhuqing's pupils constricted. She immediately tapped her toes on the ground and leaped backward, hoping to put some distance between them.

Simultaneously, Tang San's Blue Silver Grass arrived. One strand wrapped around Zhu Zhuqing's slender waist, pulling her toward the rear.

At the same time, the remaining Blue Silver Grass coiled tightly around Ling Yun's iron fists and legs like green pythons.

Seeing this, a smile appeared on Tang San's face, and he hurriedly shouted, "Boss Dai, go! I've restrained Ling Yun!"

"Good! Watch this! Third Soul Skill: White Tiger Vajra Transformation!"

Receiving Tang San's command, Dai Mubai charged out, his third soul ring flashing suddenly.

In an instant, Dai Mubai's body grew more robust, his muscles bulging, and he raised a fist the size of a sandbag, striking toward Ling Yun's face.

"Heh, Tang San, do you really think you can restrain me with these fragile Blue Silver Grass? Break for me!"

Ling Yun let out a loud shout and used brute force to tear the Blue Silver Grass on his body to shreds.

That's right; he didn't use his sharp alloy claws to shred the grass, but rather pure brute force, snapping the vines in two.

Although Tang San's Blue Silver Grass was highly resilient, in the face of the monstrous strength granted to Ling Yun by the Iron Fist Tiger, these vines were as fragile as roadside weeds.

Though, the Blue Silver Grass was essentially just a roadside weed to begin with.

Having broken free from Tang San's restraint, Ling Yun looked up at the charging Dai Mubai, clenched his alloy fist, and threw a punch toward Dai Mubai's chest!

"Oh no!"

Seeing the ferocity of Ling Yun's punch, Dai Mubai's expression changed drastically, and he was forced to shift from offense to defense.

He condensed his soul power, and the first soul ring at his feet flickered slightly. White soul power surged out of his body, condensing into a sturdy barrier in front of him to withstand Ling Yun's attack.

"First Soul Skill: White Tiger Protection Barrier!"

"A defensive barrier? Heh, it's nothing but a piece of scrap paper in front of me. Ultimate Move: Iron Tiger Heavy Break Fist!"

No sooner said than done, Ling Yun also condensed his soul power. His alloy fists erupted with dazzling light, and he smashed them into the barrier Dai Mubai had formed.

Bang!

A crisp sound echoed. In front of Ling Yun's iron fist, Dai Mubai's White Tiger Protection Barrier didn't even last a second before shattering into pieces.

Ling Yun's fist continued unabated, striking Dai Mubai's chest. In an instant, Dai Mubai's body flew backward like a kite with a broken string, slamming heavily into a thick tree.

His vision went black, and he passed out.

"Boss Dai!"

Tang San cried out in alarm, his heart tightening. Dai Mubai's attack power was far superior to his own; if even Dai Mubai couldn't hurt Ling Yun, how was he supposed to defeat him?

Am I going to lose to Ling Yun again this time?

Tang San thought in despair, but just then, Xiao Wu suddenly spoke up.

"Third Brother, hurry and use your hidden weapons! Otherwise, we're going to lose!"

Xiao Wu's words suddenly cleared Tang San's mind.

That's right! I still have my Tang Sect hidden weapons. I still have the Dragon Whisker Needle. The Dragon Whisker Needle is designed to break through protective qi; it will definitely be able to defeat Ling Yun.

Even Teacher Zhao Wuji, a Soul Saint, couldn't block my Dragon Whisker Needle, let alone Ling Yun, a mere Soul King.

At this thought, Tang San tapped his Twenty-Four Moonlit Bridges at his waist a few times, and a Godly Zhuge Crossbow along with a dozen Dragon Whisker Needles instantly appeared in his hands.

"Ling Yun, I'm going to use my real skills now. You'd better be careful!"

So, he's finally going to use his hidden weapons?

Ling Yun thought to himself, then curled his lips into a cold sneer. "Fine, then I'll let you witness the true power of the Iron Fist Tiger!"

It was precisely for this moment that he had decided to use the Iron Fist Tiger for this battle.

"Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track!"

Before the words had even faded, Tang San surged forward like a ghostly phantom; for a moment, his speed was not even inferior to that of Zhu Zhuqing, an agility-attack system soul master.

He circled behind Ling Yun and immediately pulled the trigger of the Godly Zhuge Crossbow. Accompanied by a piercing hum, sixteen crossbow bolts suddenly shot out, heading straight for Ling Yun's back.

Following closely, Tang San unleashed a Tang Sect hidden weapon technique—Bat Wing Reincarnation—sending over a dozen Dragon Whisker Needles flying toward Ling Yun from various directions.

However, upon seeing this, Ling Yun merely waved his hand, causing his Metal Spirit Power to diffuse into the surroundings before he let out a low roar.

"Metal Spirit Power!"

In an instant, both the crossbow bolts from the Godly Zhuge Crossbow and the Dragon Whisker Needles abruptly reversed direction, hurtling toward Tang San and Xiao Wu at an even greater speed as the sound of them tearing through the air suddenly erupted.

Swish, swish, swish—

"What! How is this possible?"

Seeing the incoming bolts, Tang San's expression changed drastically, and a terrifying thought surfaced in his mind.

Ling Yun's Divine Wood Ape could control plants, his Flame Crane could breathe fire, and this Iron Fist Tiger... could it be that it controls metal?

Thinking of this, an expression of disbelief appeared on Tang San's face; if that were the case, how could he possibly defeat Ling Yun?

"Ah!!!"

Suddenly, Xiao Wu let out a painful wail, instantly drawing Tang San's attention.

Her lower leg had been inadvertently struck by two Dragon Whisker Needles, blood splattering from the wounds. She couldn't even stand steadily for a moment and could only collapse to the ground, screaming in agony.

"Xiao Wu!"

Tang San's eyes were wide with rage, but at this moment, Ling Yun spoke leisurely: "Xiao Wu is already injured. Tang San, are you sure you still want to continue fighting me?"

"No need, I have lost this match..."

Even the Dragon Whisker Needles could not harm Ling Yun, and Tang San had no choice but to admit his defeat. He went to Xiao Wu's side and used a special technique to help her remove the Dragon Whisker Needles.

And so, this match between Ling Yun and the Shrek Seven Devils concluded with Ling Yun's victory.
