At that moment, in an inconspicuous corner of the audience stands, a man in a gray cloak suddenly rose to his feet and headed toward the Soul Fighting Arena.
"We can't let this go on!"
"We can't let Boss Dai's sacrifice be in vain!"
"Ma Hongjun, protect Ning Rongrong!"
"Xiao Wu, let's go together and show Li Jiutian just how powerful the San-Wu Combo is!"
Tang San sensed something was wrong. If this continued, Li Jiutian's momentum would only grow stronger, so he shouted.
"Third Brother, leave it to me!"
After saying that, Ma Hongjun stepped in front of Ning Rongrong.
At that moment, Tang San and Xiao Wu exchanged a glance and charged at Li Jiutian together!
"Seven Treasures Famous, first: Strength!"
"Second: Speed!"
"Third: Soul!"
"Fourth: Defense!"
Ning Rongrong activated four Soul Skills at once, boosting Tang San, Xiao Wu, and Ma Hongjun.
With the all-around boost, the three of them surpassed the Soul King level in strength!
Ning Rongrong's face turned pale. Her vision went black, and she collapsed to the ground!
"Rong'er!"
Sword Douluo said worriedly.
"Uncle Jian, don't worry. She only fainted from exhausting her Soul Power!"
"As expected of my daughter. She's truly clever!"
Ning Fengzhi said calmly, a faint smile appearing at the corner of his mouth.
"Fengzhi, you really have a big heart. Rong'er has fainted, and you still have the nerve to smile!"
Sword Douluo said, somewhat angrily.
"Oh? Teacher, what do you mean?"
Xue Qinghe asked in confusion.
"Since His Highness the Crown Prince has asked, I won't keep you in suspense."
"You've surely seen how ruthless Li Jiutian is. Those who were eliminated earlier, Oscar and the others, all suffered serious injuries."
"Ning Rongrong is a support-type Soul Master, so she needs someone to protect her. That means Ma Hongjun, a formidable fighter, can't join the battle, and our chances of winning are reduced by another tenth."
"So she simply used up all her Soul Power to boost the three of them, knocking herself out of the match."
"The advantage is that Tang San and the others have all surpassed the Soul King level in strength, giving them a better chance of winning."
"Besides, Ning Rongrong was eliminated from Soul Power exhaustion. That's still better than Oscar and the others being beaten half to death by Li Jiutian before they were eliminated!"
Ning Fengzhi analyzed.
"Fengzhi, you really are clever. How did I not think of that?"
After hearing his explanation, Sword Douluo's expression softened considerably.
"Ning Rongrong has exhausted her Soul Power and can no longer compete. At this point, only Tang San, Ma Hongjun, and Xiao Wu remain from Shrek Academy!"
After Ning Rongrong was carried out of the Soul Fighting Arena, Ma Hongjun joined the group attacking Li Jiutian!
At that moment, Tang San released Blue Silver Grass to coil around Xiao Wu's slender waist, then flung her high above Li Jiutian!
"Third Soul Skill, Teleportation!"
"First Soul Skill, Waist Bow!"
Xiao Wu instantly appeared behind Li Jiutian, then kicked toward his lower back!
"Looking to die!"
"Flash Gold Light!"
Li Jiutian turned around, golden light shooting from his eyes toward Xiao Wu!
"Bang!"
A trace of blood ran from the corner of Xiao Wu's mouth, but she still managed to kick Li Jiutian in the small of his back!
I almost forgot—she's a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast. Of course a mental attack won't work on her!
Li Jiutian rose to his feet, clutching his lower back, and thought to himself.
"Third Soul Skill, Phoenix Wings Soar!"
"Fourth Soul Skill, Phoenix Sky-Screaming Strike!"
Ma Hongjun circled around behind him. Flames engulfed his body as he plummeted through the air, slamming down toward Li Jiutian!
Chapter 35: Bloodily Crushing Tang San and Xiao Wu! ### "Angel Domain!"
Golden light burst from Li Jiutian, bathing the entire Soul Fighting Arena in gold!
"He actually has a domain!"
"Not good, Fatty, get back here!"
Tang San sensed something was wrong and immediately shouted.
"Let's see whether your Phoenix Sky-Screaming Strike is stronger, or my Soul Bone Skill!"
"Left Arm Soul Bone Skill, Holy Light Burst God Fist!"
Li Jiutian turned around. His left fist was enveloped in dazzling golden light as he swung it at Ma Hongjun, who was charging straight at him!
"Boom!"
The powerful Soul Power of the two combatants, one red and one gold, sent Tang San and the others flying dozens of meters!
"Fatty!"
The Shrek students all cried out together.
When the dust settled, Li Jiutian stood where he was, his body radiating golden light and completely unharmed.
Ma Hongjun, by contrast, had been blasted hundreds of meters away and embedded in the wall of the Soul Fighting Arena.
His flesh was mangled, and blood covered his body. The right side of his pig-like face had been blown away so badly that bone showed through.
"This isn't a match! He's clearly trying to kill them!"
Grandmaster glared furiously at Bibi Dong.
"Elder Yu, if Li Jiutian hadn't counterattacked just now, he'd be the one lying on the ground."
Bibi Dong replied coldly.
"Xiao Tian actually has a Soul Bone, and it's incredibly destructive. Could that kid Ma Hongjun have gone straight to his grave?"
Chrysanthemum Douluo was also quite shocked.
"That brat Li Jiutian really is trying to kill them. Thank goodness Rong'er left the arena early!" Sword Douluo secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
At that moment, Li Jiutian spread his Angel Wings and hovered in the air. He taunted them, "Only two useless fools left. If you don't surrender, you'll end up just like Ma Hongjun!"
"Within my Angel Domain, you're bound to lose!"
Xiao Wu and Tang San looked up at Li Jiutian, surrounded by holy light, and felt utterly powerless.
"Brother, why do I feel my Soul Power draining faster and faster? And my strength, speed, and everything else are being suppressed by fifteen percent."
Xiao Wu's face was pale, and she panted heavily.
"The longer this drags on, the worse it is for us. We'll have to go all out!"
"Fourth Soul Skill, Blue Silver Thorn Array!"
After Tang San spoke, countless black strands of Blue Silver Grass emerged from the ground and shot straight toward Li Jiutian!
"My Supreme Yang Flame is the bane of grass-type Soul Masters. You're asking for death!"
"Fourth Soul Skill, Blazing Sun Cross Slash!"
Li Jiutian gave a cold snort. A massive cross-shaped slash, over ten meters long, appeared before him and shot toward Tang San!
"Bang!"
The tough Blue Silver Grass was cut apart in an instant. Seeing the huge slash hurtling toward him, Tang San knew there was no way to dodge.
"Fourth Soul Skill, Invincible Golden Body!"
Golden light bloomed across Xiao Wu's body as she stepped in front of him.
"Boom!"
The slash struck Xiao Wu, then vanished two seconds later.
"Fifth Soul Skill, Flame Aurora Sword!"
Li Jiutian gripped the giant sword and charged at the two of them!
Tang San released his Eight Spider Soul Bone and Clear Sky Hammer, then charged toward him as well!
The two clashed in an instant, fighting fiercely.
Li Jiutian's expression remained calm, while Tang San was constantly on the defensive and seemed to be struggling.
"Li Jiutian's Flame Aurora Sword seems to be no lower in Martial Soul quality than the Clear Sky Hammer!"
Ghost Douluo exclaimed.
"Third Soul Skill, Teleportation!"
Xiao Wu tried to teleport behind Li Jiutian, but after activating her Soul Skill, she found herself still standing where she was!
"How could this happen? I can't use Teleportation!"
"Within my Angel Domain, don't even think about using Teleportation!"
Li Jiutian's lips curled into a slight smile. Golden flames blazed along his sword, and he sent Tang San flying several meters with a single strike!
Within the Angel Domain, not only were Tang San and Xiao Wu's Soul Power suppressed, but the Soul Power they lost was absorbed by Li Jiutian as well.
The longer they fought, the harder it became for them, while Li Jiutian's momentum only grew stronger!
"Ah, now I finally understand why Li Jiutian is so confident. It's because he has absolute strength!"
"Against a monster like him, even the three of us, the Golden Iron Triangle, might not be able to win!"
"And he still hasn't even used his Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Skill."
Flender shook his head helplessly.
While Tang San was down, Li Jiutian lightly swung the Aurora Sword in his hand. Two flaming sword waves appeared in the air and shot toward Xiao Wu!
"Whoosh!"
The sword waves passed straight through Xiao Wu's body. She spat out a large mouthful of blood, her consciousness growing hazy. Mustering all her remaining strength, she said, "Brother... you have to win!"
After saying this, Xiao Wu's eyes went dark, and she fainted on the ground. Two deep gashes marked her abdomen, blood steadily streaming from them.
"Xiao Wu!"
Liu Erlong rushed into the Soul Fighting Arena at once, gathered Xiao Wu into her arms, and glared fiercely at Li Jiutian.
"What are you looking at? Never seen a handsome guy before?"
Li Jiutian glanced at her, not taking someone like Liu Erlong seriously at all, then slowly walked toward Tang San.
"You actually hurt Xiao Wu! I'm going to kill you!"
