Qin Ming sighed helplessly.
"Tang San, I have to say, you're very clever. But in the face of absolute strength, cleverness is nothing!"
Watching the Hell White Tiger charge toward him, Li Jiutian gave a cold snort, spread his Angel Wings, and flew toward the south side of the Soul Fighting Arena!
"Don't even think about running!"
Dai Mubai roared. The Hell White Tiger spread its wings and chased after him!
"Seven Treasures Famous, Second: Speed!"
The Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda in Ning Rongrong's hands flashed with light, which settled over the Hell White Tiger!
With its speed enhanced, the Hell White Tiger slowly began to catch up with Li Jiutian!
Seeing the Hell White Tiger about to catch him from behind, Li Jiutian suddenly stopped. A sinister smile flickered across his lips.
"Something's not right. I once heard my teacher say that when it came to speed in the air, the Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul was second to none!"
"Even with the Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda's enhancement, the Hell White Tiger's speed is already impressive, but it still shouldn't be able to catch Li Jiutian!"
"Something's wrong! Boss Dai, you need to come back!"
Seeing the Hell White Tiger drawn a hundred meters away, Tang San shouted. But it was already too late!
At that moment, the Hell White Tiger swung a claw at Li Jiutian!
"Dai Mubai, you're way too confident!"
"Once you're separated from Tang San and the others, you're nothing but a sick cat. I might not be able to beat all of you alone in a team fight, but I can pick you off one by one!"
Li Jiutian taunted him, his entire body wrapped in a Golden Flame Barrier. He blocked the attack with ease.
"Seven Treasures Famous, First: Strength!"
Ning Rongrong once again used her ability to enhance the Hell White Tiger's strength.
But it was all for nothing. Even with its strength enhanced, it couldn't so much as brush Li Jiutian's clothes.
"Dai Mubai, you're all done for!"
A little check mark suddenly appeared at the corner of Li Jiutian's mouth.
"Not good!"
At the sight of his terrifying smile, Dai Mubai glanced back at his teammates, a hundred meters away, and finally realized he'd fallen for the trap!
"First Soul Skill, Entanglement!"
Tang San furrowed his brows. A massive black stalk of Blue Silver Grass burst from the ground, trying to drag the Hell White Tiger back!
"Fourth Soul Skill, Blazing Sun Dragon-Locking Array!"
At that moment, a Golden Flame Barrier appeared within a fifty-meter radius of Li Jiutian, trapping the Hell White Tiger inside!
"Boom!"
The instant the Blue Silver Grass touched the barrier, it burned to ashes!
"The situation has taken a turn! Li Jiutian has unleashed his fourth Soul Skill, trapping himself and the Hell White Tiger inside the barrier!"
"Can he perform a miracle and fight all seven by himself? Let's wait and see!"
Seeing Oscar eliminated, the Cardinal's enthusiasm flared.
"What kind of flame is that? Its heat is even greater than my Phoenix Flame!"
Ma Hongjun said in disbelief.
"What do we do now? Boss Dai and the others must be in danger in there. Are we just supposed to stand here and watch?"
Xiao Wu stared anxiously at the wall of flames. They couldn't see what was happening inside.
Tang San remained silent, as if he already knew what fate awaited Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing.
Li Jiutian spread his Angel Wings and hovered in midair, looking down at the Hell White Tiger.
"What do we do now?"
Zhu Zhuqing's consciousness was growing hazy. The intense heat had already soaked them both in sweat.
"We fight him! If we stay here, he'll wear us down sooner or later!"
Dai Mubai looked up at the sky, then the Hell White Tiger charged straight at Li Jiutian!
"You're asking for death!"
Li Jiutian casually waved his left hand. A Flame Dragon over ten meters long appeared beside him and charged at the Hell White Tiger!
Everyone in the arena heard a terrifying dragon's roar from within the Golden Flame Barrier.
When Shrek heard the roar, their hearts tightened, and worry crept over them.
"Boom!"
The Hell White Tiger was slammed to the ground, its shoulder already scorched black!
"What a formidable body. No wonder it's the Hell White Tiger. An ordinary Soul Master would've been turned to charcoal the instant the Flame Dragon hit them!"
"But how many hits from the Flame Dragon can you take? I'm looking forward to finding out!"
Li Jiutian smiled faintly. The Flame Dragon roared and charged at the Hell White Tiger again!
"Zhuqing, at this point, we can only take a gamble!"
Dai Mubai's face was pale as he glanced at the Golden Flame Barrier behind him.
"Are we going to die?"
Zhu Zhuqing had already given up hope of surviving.
"Xiao San, surrender now!"
"If this goes on, Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing will die!"
Feeling the powerful Soul Power fluctuations within the Golden Flame Barrier, Flender shouted.
Tang San acted as if he hadn't heard him, staring fixedly at the barrier.
He was unwilling to accept it. This match concerned the dignity of the Shrek Seven Devils and the honor of Shrek Academy.
This was about more than just a match. If they still lost despite having seven people against one, Shrek Academy's reputation across the continent would plummet. They wouldn't be able to recruit new students, and it wouldn't be long before the academy closed its doors!
"Three!"
"Two!"
"One!"
"Charge!"
Watching the dragon about to crash into him, Dai Mubai roared. The Hell White Tiger immediately leaped toward the Golden Flame Wall behind it!
But his plan had gone wrong!
Chapter 34: Ning Rongrong Was the Smart One!
The instant the Hell White Tiger touched the Golden Flame Wall, Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing's screams rang out!
"Boss Dai!"
Tang San and the others shouted. They unleashed their Soul Skills at the Golden Flame Barrier, but it was all useless.
"Dai Mubai! Zhuqing!"
"Xiao San, why haven't you announced your surrender yet?"
Grandmaster glared at Tang San in anger and scolded him.
"Teacher, I'm truly sorry, but I can't bring myself to say those words."
"Even if we die fighting in the Soul Fighting Arena, we will never surrender!"
Tang San forced down his grief and answered calmly.
He wasn't the only one. Ma Hongjun, Xiao Wu, and the others didn't want to surrender either.
After all, it was seven against one! How humiliating would it be to surrender voluntarily?
At that moment, the Golden Flame Wall began to disappear, and everyone saw Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing, their bodies burned completely black.
"You fools! The Flame Dragon burns at six million degrees Celsius, and the Golden Flame Wall is over eight million degrees!"
"And you still thought you could charge through the wall? You were asking for death!"
Li Jiutian glanced at the fallen pair, then casually waved his left hand. They were sent flying out of the Soul Fighting Arena!
"Boss Dai! Sister Zhuqing!"
"Li Jiutian, I'm going to kill you!"
Xiao Wu was about to charge forward when Tang San stopped her with one hand.
A healing-type Soul Master quickly carried the gravely injured Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing away.
Thankfully, the Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda had enhanced them, and the Hell White Tiger had exceptionally strong defenses. Otherwise, they would have turned to ash the moment they touched the wall!
"That kid really doesn't hold back!"
Even Chrysanthemum Douluo couldn't bear to look at Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing, who had been burned into lumps of coal.
"If you're not ruthless, you can't establish yourself!"
"That's how you deal with enemies!"
Bibi Dong said approvingly.
"Li Jiutian, I'll tear you to pieces one day!"
Liu Erlong glared at him. If the Spirit Hall Titled Douluo hadn't been present, she would've charged into the Soul Fighting Arena long ago!
"What a powerful fourth Soul Skill. No wonder he's Qian Daoliu's prized disciple. His talent truly surpasses that of ordinary people!"
"It seems the tiger can't beat the holy dragon. Dai Mubai, Zhu Zhuqing, Oscar, and the others have all been eliminated one after another."
"Can Li Jiutian pull off a miracle? Let's wait and see!"
The Cardinal provided commentary.
At that moment, a man in golden court dress, with short blond hair, walked up to Ning Fengzhi and the other person.
Seeing him, Ning Fengzhi bowed respectfully. "Your Highness."
"Teacher, there's no need to be so formal."
"I never imagined that Li Jiutian from Spirit Hall could be this terrifyingly powerful."
The man spoke with gentle grace.
He was Xue Qinghe, the eldest prince of the Heaven Dou Empire—who was actually Qian Renxue in disguise!
"Then, in your opinion, can Shrek Academy win this match?"
Ning Fengzhi asked with a furrowed brow.
"Without Oscar, they have no way to replenish their Soul Power. Ning Rongrong will probably run out of Soul Power and be eliminated soon, too."
"It's hard to say how things will turn out now. The Shrek Seven Devils are all exceptionally talented, but Li Jiutian is no less gifted than they are!"
Xue Qinghe put on a worried expression and thought:
Who would've thought? It's been eight years, and the little fellow has grown so much—and become such a monster.
To challenge the Shrek Seven Devils all by himself in the finals... What a crazy boy.
Once my plan to take the Heaven Dou Empire succeeds, I'll come find you first thing, my dear little brother!
Li Jiutian exuded a powerful killing intent as he fixed his gaze on Tang San and slowly walked toward the group. With every step, the pressure he released grew stronger.
For some reason, Tang San and the others felt a trace of fear and began to retreat step by step.
In truth, Li Jiutian's only real target was Tang San. He had been ruthless toward Oscar and the others, but he hadn't intended to kill them.
In his eyes, Tang San was the only threat in the future. Li Jiutian wanted to use this match to get rid of his future nemesis once and for all.
