Shrek's Darkest Hour: What It Means to Be Crushed by a Higher Dimension

High in the audience seats

Yu Tianheng and Yu Tianxin sat side by side, their brows furrowed so deeply they looked like twisted ropes.

Something's not right.

Yu Tianxin spoke first, her eyes fixed on the scene.

"Ye Qing didn't even play, so why is the Imperial Fighting Team still so strong?"

Yu Tianheng nodded, his tone tinged with apprehension. "Don't you think Shrek is being suppressed too easily?"

The situation on the field was indeed clear at a glance.

The Shrek Team was on the defensive throughout the entire match.

The Imperial Fighting Team's offensive and defensive coordination was as impenetrable as an iron barrel.

"What exactly are they planning?" Yu Tianheng asked in a low voice.

The viewing area on the other side.

Flender's fists clenched so tightly they cracked.

"Xiaogang, this can't go on, Little San and the others can't hold on!"

Yu Xiaogang, on the other hand, remained much calmer, his gaze sharp yet composed. "Calm down."

"The Little San still has her cards to play; it's not the worst time yet."

Flender's lips moved a few times, but he ultimately said nothing more.

At this moment, we can only trust Tang San.

Otherwise, they would lose all the money they invested this time.

Ye Qing crossed his arms, leaned lazily against the back of his chair, and squinted as he surveyed the entire battlefield.

Tang San and the others' current performance is within his expectations.

The tactics of Mother's Entanglement, imprisoning one's own mother, and using Hidden Weapon weapons are just a few repetitive patterns.

It's not much different from what he read in the original work.

The only trump card yet to be revealed is the External Soul Bone, the Eight Spider Lances.

That's about enough.

Ye Qing muttered to himself, his gaze shifting to Dugu Yan's retreating figure in the arena.

He slightly raised his chin.

Dugu Yan caught his signal out of the corner of her eye, and the corner of her mouth curved into a barely perceptible smile.

"This game should end."

Dugu Yan Yan's Soul Power suddenly surged.

The Jade Phosphorus Flood Dragon Martial Soul fully materialized behind her, its scales shimmering with a ghostly light.

Jade Phosphorous Purple Poison!

Purple, corrosive Poison Fog exploded around her, swirling and sweeping towards the Shrek formation.

The Poison Fog spread and writhed with an almost lifelike, eerie rhythm.

Wherever he passed, the stone slabs under his feet emitted a sharp hissing sound.

The surface was eroded and dissolved at a visible rate, leaving behind a disgusting grayish-white powder.

Tang San's expression changed slightly, but his eyes remained calm.

poison?

Tang San was, after all, from the Tang Sect.

The book "Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record" was already etched into his very bones.

There are very few poisons in the world that can stump him.

Treating the venom of the Jade Phosphorous Serpent was a basic skill for him.

"It's Jade Phosphorous Purple Poison!"

"Everyone, gather around me!"

"Fatty, use flame suppression!"

Tang San gave the order in a loud voice.

At the same time, he channeled his internal energy, and several jars of realgar wine flew out effortlessly from the Twenty-Four Moonlit Bridges!

Ma Hongjun took a breath, and a pillar of crimson flame shot out from his mouth, sweeping away the Poison Fog in front of him.

The flames simultaneously struck the realgar wine that Tang San had thrown out.

"Crack!"

The realgar wine jar exploded in mid-air.

The liquor was ignited by the flame.

Under the scorching heat, the Purple Poison Fog surged and dissipated, releasing choking smoke.

Tang San silently thought, "It works."

Although it was unclear why Dugu Yan's Jade Phosphorous Serpent Martial Soul had transformed into the shape of a dragon.

Fortunately, the principle remains the same: realgar's ability to counteract snake venom still holds true.

Dugu Yan, standing opposite, looked at the dissipating Poison Fog with slight surprise.

But that wasn't a look of defeat.

"As expected, Ye Qing was right, this guy really does know how to detoxify."

Dugu Yan asked casually, "But do you really think I only have Poison Fog?"

She suddenly opened her mouth.

A phantom of a dragon, accompanied by thick Purple venom, shot out from her mouth and exploded upon landing!

That wasn't the light, gaseous Poison Fog from before.

The toxins of the Green Phosphorus Flood Dragon were deeply fused with earth-attribute Soul Power, transforming into a thick, viscous, dark green venom.

The venom surged up from the ground, spreading across the entire arena like a boiling swamp.

Wherever the venom passed, the stone slabs cracked and collapsed, and even the cracks seeped out a pungent green fumes.

"Again!"

Having had experience before, Ma Hongjun was not afraid at all, and the Phoenix Flame poured out once again.

Tang San simultaneously threw out a second jar of realgar wine.

"Sizzle!"

The burning liquor spilled onto the surface of the poisonous liquid.

Under the scorching flames, white smoke hissed from the surface.

But the venom only churned once.

It then returned to its original state and surged forward with unstoppable force.

It can't be burned!

The fusion of earth elements fundamentally rewrites the physical form of toxins.

Gaseous Poison Fog can be dispersed by high temperatures, but this semi-solid, slimy venom is completely unaffected.

"What happened? Your methods aren't working on the Little San anymore!"

As the poisonous liquid drew near, Ma Hongjun screamed in disbelief.

Dai Mubai: "Little San, think of something quick!"

Tang San's expression also changed drastically, and fine beads of cold sweat appeared on his forehead.

His gaze fell on the churning, dark green venom, which seemed to be alive, and his mind raced through all the knowledge the Tang Sect had about antidotes.

But the answer is blank.

"It can't be solved..."

Tang San's voice was a little dry. "This poison isn't just a pure toxin..."

This was the first time since Tang San came into this world that he felt helpless in the face of poison.

Jade Phosphorous Poison Slurry.

It was under Ye Qing's guidance that Dugu Yan devised this deadly move specifically to deal with those clever people who thought they could cure the poison.

Zhu Zhuqing, who was closest to the poison, experienced a rapid deterioration in her health.

The wound that Dugu Yan had grazed during their previous exchange was now completely exposed.

Dark green venomous veins spread along the skin like vines, and in the blink of an eye, they had climbed up half of the arm.

"Woo!"

The intense burning pain made her clench her teeth.

He knelt on one knee, his whole body trembling uncontrollably, even the phantom of the Hell Spirit Cat's Martial Soul flickered.

She tried desperately to maintain her Martial Soul, but her body was no longer under her control.

The Martial Soul dissipated, and the phantom of the spirit cat shattered.

Li Wen desperately activated the Healing Scepter, and golden healing light poured onto Zhu Zhuqing.

However, his healing ability at level 25 with only two Soul Ring was far too weak against the poison released by a level 55 Soul King.

The healing light that entered Zhu Zhuqing's body was like a firefly falling into an abyss; it was swallowed up by the toxins without even making a splash.

Li Wen's face turned pale instantly, and he stammered, "I... I can't cure it either!"

soon.

"The Hell Spirit Cat cannot continue fighting," the referee announced coldly.

Shrek has lost one of their members.

Tang San's heart sank.

But he knew that it was precisely in times like these that he couldn't hesitate.

"All troops, charge! Concentrate your forces to break through the defenses and take down Dugu Yan!"

His voice suddenly rose, carrying a resolute determination.

"Defeat her, and the poison will dissipate!"

"Break it for me! Roar!!!"

At the same time, Dai Mubai unleashed his full power, unleashing a torrent of White Tiger Fierce Light Wave that swept across the battlefield, creating an opening for Tang San.

"Third Brother, I'll hold him off!"

Xiao Wu teleported in and entangled herself with the Shi Mo from the other side.

"Stay where you are, young master!"

Ma Hongjun used his Phoenix Flame to block and cut off Osler's return route.

When the time was right, Tang San no longer held back.

His back suddenly tensed up.

With a tearing sound, the clothes ripped to shreds!

Eight purplish-black Spider Spear burst forth from his back.

The spearhead, covered in jagged barbs, gleamed with a chilling metallic luster under the light.

The External Soul Bone, Eight Spider Lances, fully unfolds, like a blooming flower of death, exuding a suffocatingly ferocious aura.

An uproar erupted in the audience.

He used the Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track to move unpredictably between the gaps in the shield formation of the Shi Mo and Shi Mo Brothers.

The Eight Spider Lances, like eight bloodthirsty venomous snakes, pierced straight at Dugu Yan with a sharp whooshing sound!

At the same time, Hidden Weapon flew from his hands at extremely tricky angles.

This is a desperate, all-or-nothing gamble by the Shrek Team.

A desperate gamble, a do-or-die situation.

However,

Tang San, charging straight at her, and the Eight Spider Lances, drew ever closer, yet Dugu Yan remained calm and composed.

She even took a slow step forward.

The Jade Phosphorus Flood Dragon Martial Soul was fully released, and five Soul Ring slowly rose from beneath its feet.

Two yellow, two purple, and one black!

The outermost ring, a jet-black, Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring, exuded a heavy sense of oppression.

The Fifth Ring Road!

Soul King!

After a brief silence, the entire room erupted in cheers.

"The Fifth Ring Road?!"

Yu Tianheng suddenly stood up.

His eyes widened, his face filled with disbelief.

"Impossible!"

"She only broke through to the Soul Ancestor a year ago, how could she possibly be Soul King now?!"

Yu Tianxin stood up at the same time, gripping the railing tightly with both hands, his voice trembling. "I've fought her before, back when I was just Soul Ancestor."

"She jumped from the early stage of Soul Ancestor to Soul King in just one year! What kind of monster is she?!"

Flender and Yu Xiaogang exchanged a glance, both seeing the same shock in each other's eyes.

The Imperial Fighting Team actually has Soul King?

The intelligence is false!

Inside the VIP seating area.

Ning Fengzhi narrowed his eyes slightly.

Sword Douluo Chen Xin beside him also stared intently.

The two were also taken aback by Dugu Yan's sudden display of Soul King strength.

"Interesting, this Imperial Fighting Team is full of surprises."

Ning Fengzhi whispered two words, his surprise barely concealed in his voice.
