Fire Style Killing Move: Morning Peacock!

"You have no chance left!"

"Go down!"

Huo Wushuang charged forward at top speed.

"Like hell I've ever lost!"

Qin Qi shot out to meet him head-on, driving him back with a single punch.

"Big brother!"

"Flame Burst!"

The instant Qin Qi and Huo Wushuang exchanged punches, Huo Wu noticed something was wrong. She immediately launched an attack, forcing Qin Qi back.

"Look at their teamwork!"

Qin Qi lost his chance to take Huo Wushuang down in one go, but he immediately shifted the pressure onto his teammates.

"Boss, we'll help you!"

Shi Mo and Shi Mo wanted to rush over to assist Qin Qi.

"Get back! You two protect Lingling and Yanyan. Unless I say otherwise, hold your ground no matter what!"

"If anyone moves, I'll punch them to death!"

While issuing orders, Qin Qi locked onto Yu Tianheng's position on the ground, then charged toward Huo Wu at his fastest speed.

"Little sister, be careful!"

"This guy's strength is even greater than that Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon attack-type Soul Master's! The moment our fists collided, I felt like the bones in my hand had shattered!"

Huo Wushuang shouted a warning to Huo Wu while charging toward Qin Qi as quickly as he could.

"A support-type Soul Master stronger than an attack-type? Is that even a proper support-type?"

"And isn't your martial soul that little bug? Why are you charging in yourself?!"

Huo Wu could not help roaring inwardly, but her movements were not slow in the slightest as she swiftly retreated.

The surrounding teammates immediately began to surround and harry Qin Qi, but he was simply too fast.

In the blink of an eye, he was about to reach Huo Wu.

"Good chance!"

"Attack! Crush them in one go!"

Dugu Yan's eyes lit up at the sight, and she hurriedly spoke.

"No! You're not allowed to go out. Boss told us to hold the line. Until he says we can move, no one moves!"

Shi Mo directly stopped Dugu Yan when she tried to leave the range of his defense. His combat experience and battle sense might not have been particularly high.

But after what had happened in the Star Dou Great Forest, he trusted Qin Qi's battle sense without reservation.

"Can't you see Qin Qi is surrounded right now? We have to go help him!"

Dugu Yan frowned.

"No means no! If Boss doesn't say anything, we hold the line. It doesn't matter what you say!"

Shi Mo was stubborn, just like his martial soul. Once he made up his mind about something, he would not change it.

"Tch!"

At that moment, Blazing Fire Academy's agility-attack Soul Master, who had been hiding nearby, stopped concealing himself and launched an attack.

He tried to force Qin Qi to turn back and provide support this way, but Qin Qi did not even look back. He merely said to Shi Mo and the others over his shoulder.

"If you can't hold them off, I'll give each of you a punch!"

As Qin Qi spoke, he had already reached Huo Wu, with only five steps between them.

"Damn! Is this guy really a support-type Soul Master?!"

"Isn't he way too fast?!"

The Soul Masters around Huo Wu released their soul skills, pouring out a massive wave of flames.

But it was useless. Qin Qi charged straight through the fire, his body slightly blackened but not truly injured!

Meanwhile, on the Shi brothers' side—

"Are you scratching an itch for us?"

"With that little attack power, you should go home and train some more!"

The Shi brothers might not have had much experience in large-scale team battles, but the raw strength of their top-tier martial souls was right there.

The two of them standing together formed an unbreakable absolute defense!

Not to mention there was only one agility-attack Soul Master right now—even if all seven members of Blazing Fire Academy focused their fire on them, they might not be able to break through their defense in one go!

"So Qin Qi had already anticipated this."

Dugu Yan looked at Qin Qi, who was fighting alone outside, surprise and worry showing in her eyes.

Qin Qi's precise judgment, even in such a critical moment while surrounded by enemies, astonished her.

Worried whether Qin Qi could withstand the enemy's attacks alone, she wanted to go out and help, but she had no idea what she should do.

Acting recklessly now might only make things worse!

Meanwhile, Huo Wushuang finally rushed over to Qin Qi's side, positioning himself between Qin Qi and Huo Wu.

Huo Wushuang gave everyone a look, signaling for them to focus their fire and take Qin Qi down instantly.

It did not matter even if he got caught up in it, as long as they could defeat Qin Qi in one fell swoop!

Once they regained control of the situation and stabilized their formation, the final victory would surely still be theirs!

"Ahhh! Tyrant Dragon..."

Huo Wushuang gathered his strength, preparing to clash head-on with Qin Qi.

"Hehe."

In that instant, Qin Qi turned around and ran. Fight you head-on? Did you really think I was an idiot?

He charged straight toward where Yu Tianheng had fallen.

"Not good! We fell for it!"

"This guy's target from the very beginning was that Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon guy, but he wanted to keep us from seeing through his intentions!"

"That's why he kept attacking, forcing us to defend!"

Huo Wu realized it at once. They had been fooled. She immediately ordered the two agility-attack soul masters who were attacking the Shi Mo brothers to stop Qin Qi.

"Armor Shatter, attack!"

Qin Qi shouted, soul power gathering around both fists as he ran and punched toward the sky.

One, two, three, ten, twenty—hundreds of soul power fist blasts shot forth!

After rubbing against the air at high speed, those fist blasts ignited into flames. At that moment, Qin Qi looked like a peacock spreading its tail feathers!

After being tempered by the second soul ring of the Strength-Eating Immortal Gu, his soul power had become more condensed and explosively powerful.

Now, one point of his soul power was equivalent to 1.1 points of someone else's. It might not seem like much, but once the quantity increased, so did the power!

"Armor Shatter!"

The Shi family brothers responded to Qin Qi's command at once, throwing out four turtle shells.

They then broke apart in midair into countless tiny fragments, which blanketed the surrounding area over a wide range!

"This..."

Facing the large-scale attacks closing in from both front and back, Blazing Fire Academy's two agility-attack soul masters looked around and found no path of escape.

They had no choice but to take the attacks head-on. Unfortunately, agility-attack soul masters were fragile as hell, and they were defeated the instant they made contact!

"Fire Rain, Fire Cloud, damn it!"

Watching Fire Rain and Fire Cloud get defeated, Huo Wu could not help gritting her teeth. She knew she had been fooled again.

In her haste to call Fire Cloud and Fire Rain back, she had instead given their opponents a chance to attack. The two brothers had been defeated because of her command error!

"Lingling, heal this idiot. Once he wakes up, give him a slap for me first and knock some sense into him!"

"Yanyan, cover the area with poison mist to stop them from coming over. Shi Mo, summon your turtle shells back and switch to a defensive stance!"

Qin Qi had exhausted all his soul power after unleashing Morning Peacock, but it did not matter. Keeping it would have been useless anyway.

As he passed Yu Tianheng, he grabbed him by the collar and threw him back.

Then he rushed back into the defensive formation at top speed.

"Jade Phosphor Serpent Venom!"

The moment Dugu Yan saw Qin Qi return, she released a massive amount of venom at the enemies charging toward them.

"Flame Burst!"

Huo Wu reacted immediately, directly burning away Dugu Yan's serpent venom to prevent it from touching them.

However, that action also made them hesitate for a moment, allowing the Shi family brothers to seize the chance to retrieve their shields.

Blazing Fire Academy still had five people left, and Heaven Dou Royal Academy also had five. But they still had Ye Lingling.

As long as no one was dead, they could be healed back up. Yu Tianheng's injuries were recovering at a visible rate.

"The situation has changed now. Once Old Yu, that idiot, recovers, you'll definitely lose!"

"Mm, perhaps you can try breaking through my two brothers' defense."

Qin Qi smiled as he patted the Shi family brothers' shields.

The other side still had two support-type soul masters, Huo Wu as their control-type soul master, Huo Wushuang as a power-attack soul master, and Huo Lie as another power-attack soul master.

With their current combat strength, there was absolutely no way they could easily break through the Shi family brothers' defense.

Their only chance was Huo Wu's ring fusion, but ring fusion required time. Qin Qi was now waiting for the opportunity while they charged it up!
