Strength Path Declines, Only All-Out Effort Will Do!

"Damn it, how dare you act so arrogantly? How dare you toy with me like I'm an idiot!"

"I'll never forgive you! Never!"

Watching Qin Qi stand there under the protection of the Shi brothers, looking so smug and pleased with himself, Huo Wu's fury blazed hotter and hotter.

She began fusing her rings. By merging her first and second Soul Rings, she could unleash power far beyond her own level!

"Idiot, did it ever occur to you that I was deliberately tricking you into revealing your trump cards?"

"Yan Yan, buff me!"

Qin Qi charged straight out. His Soul Power had been depleted, but his physical strength was still abundant.

Though the Strength Path had declined, its stamina and endurance were truly beyond reproach!

"Jade Phosphor Serpent First Soul Skill—Stimulant Poison! Attack power and speed increased by twenty percent!"

"Jade Phosphor Serpent Second Soul Skill—Jade Phosphor Blue Poison! Paralyzing Nerves, eliminating pain, defense increased by thirty percent!"

The moment Dugu Yan heard Qin Qi, she unleashed her Soul Skills. Qin Qi's physical abilities soared once again!

"Little sister, I'll stop him. Keep gathering power!"

Huo Wushuang charged directly at Qin Qi. This time, he unleashed all his strength for the sake of protecting his sister!

"Brother Wushuang, I'm with you too! First Soul Skill—Fire Howl!"

Huo Lie rushed forward alongside Huo Wushuang.

"And us! First Soul Skill—Sparks Like Rain!"

The two support-type Soul Masters were brothers as well, and they unleashed the same Soul Skill.

Red Soul Power shot into the sky, burst apart like rain, and then flowed into Huo Wushuang and Huo Lie's bodies!

In an instant, Huo Wushuang and Huo Lie's combat strength rose once more!

"The Strength Path declines... only all-out effort will do!"

"Killer Move—Eula Punch!"

Qin Qi had no other moves left. He simply endured the flames with his body and threw punches with both fists using every ounce of his strength!

His clothes burned full of holes, and his flesh began to char black, yet he did not retreat a single step!

With the enhancement of the Jade Phosphor Blue Poison, the nerves throughout his body were paralyzed. He could not feel pain at all, allowing him to unleash his combat strength to the fullest!

In the blink of an eye, Huo Wushuang and Huo Lie, who had been exchanging blows with him, were beaten beyond recognition. Who knew how many bones had been broken throughout their bodies.

Huo Lie was the first to collapse. Huo Wushuang had also exhausted his Soul Power and was covered in injuries.

"I can't fall! I absolutely can't fall!"

"Behind me is my beloved little sister! If I fall, Huo Chui and Huo Jun definitely won't be able to hold on alone!"

"I have to fight, I have to..."

Huo Wushuang began to roar and bellow. He wanted to unleash his potential. He wanted to protect his sister!

"Big brother!"

Huo Wu, who was still gathering power, was caught in a dilemma. If she attacked now, her power had not fully gathered.

She might not be able to break through the Shi brothers' shield.

But if she did not attack, her brother would definitely be no match for that monstrous boy.

"Damn it!"

Huo Wu made her decision. She still chose her brother.

"Xiao Wu, don't give up! I can still hold on! If you give up now, all our efforts will have been for nothing!"

As Huo Wushuang spoke, he took another punch from Qin Qi. Yet this stubborn hardhead actually endured it.

"Who are you putting on an act for?"

Qin Qi followed up with another punch. This time, Huo Wushuang collapsed completely. Before absolute strength, willpower was still too fragile.

After defeating Huo Wushuang, Qin Qi charged toward Huo Wu.

"Sister Xiao Wu, go!"

"Sister Xiao Wu, it all depends on you!"

The two support-type Soul Masters buffed themselves before rushing in front of Qin Qi, swinging their fists to stop him from advancing.

"Good. Support type versus support type—support type wins!"

Qin Qi's fists struck after theirs, yet arrived first. One punch each was enough to take down the two support-type Soul Masters.

By then, Huo Wu had nearly finished gathering power. She glared at Qin Qi with a face full of rage.

This time, she absolutely would not let everyone down. She would defeat the enemy before her!

"Bye-bye."

Seeing that Huo Wu had finished gathering power, Qin Qi turned and ran. In the blink of an eye, he was back behind the Shi brothers.

"Coward! Why are you running?"

Huo Wu watched Qin Qi turn and flee without the slightest hesitation, then shouted furiously.

"If I didn't run, I'd be an idiot. Why would a support-type Soul Master like me take your ultimate move head-on?"

Qin Qi sat down beside Yu Tianheng and received Ye Lingling's treatment. Petals fell onto his body, and his wounds quickly began to heal.

At the same time, the backlash from Dugu Yan's Soul Skill was dispelled.

"You think you'll be fine hiding behind that turtle shell? Watch me smash both the shell and you to pieces!"

"Flame Burst!"

Huo Wu poured all the Soul Power she had gathered for so long into this single Soul Skill, unleashing unprecedented might!

"Second Soul Skill—Jade Phosphor Blue Poison! Pain eliminated, defense increased by thirty percent!"

Dugu Yan immediately strengthened the Shi brothers' defenses.

"First Soul Skill—Black Tortoise Body Protection! Defense increased by thirty percent!"

"Second Soul Skill—Shield Transformation! Defense increased by twenty percent!"

"Turtle Shell Shatter, combined defense state!"

Shi Mo and Shi Mo's tortoise shells shattered, after which four fragments combined into an enormous new tortoise shell.

Their defense doubled once more. This was the brothers' special combination technique!

Bang!

Huo Wu's attack struck the massive tortoise shell, and the exploding flames scattered in every direction.

Part of the Shi brothers' tortoise shell was broken, and they suffered minor injuries, but that was all.

A top-tier defense-type Martial Soul was no joke. They could still withstand this much!

"Lingling, heal them."

Qin Qi rose from the ground and kicked Yu Tianheng. "Stop sleeping. The battle's over. Get up and clean up the street."

Yu Tianheng's injuries had mostly recovered by now. Qin Qi's kick jolted him awake through the pain.

"These guys have no martial virtue! They actually ganged up on me!"

Yu Tianheng spoke indignantly.

Smack!

Qin Qi leaped up and sent Yu Tianheng flying with a vicious kick. "You idiot, this was a team battle!"

"If they didn't gang up on you, were they supposed to fight you one-on-one?"

Qin Qi truly could not take it anymore. Had this guy played too many bot matches? Did he think everyone was a bot?

Ye Lingling silently began treating the Shi brothers. Petals drifted down, and their minor injuries recovered in moments.

She turned to look at Yu Tianheng, who had been kicked away. After hesitating for a moment, she ultimately decided not to heal that idiot again.

"Hey, Sister Xiao Wu, do you have any other tricks? If not, then we won this time."

Qin Qi picked up a stone and tossed it at Yu Tianheng again to vent his frustration. Then he turned toward Huo Wu and spoke with a smile.

"Phew!"

Huo Wu sat limply on the ground, powerless all over. She was unwilling to accept it, but there was nothing she could do.

She had lost. In terms of controlling the battle, she had lost to Qin Qi. From the moment Qin Qi made his move, the battle had fallen under his control.

A control-type Soul Master like her had lost to a support-type Soul Master in controlling the battle!

Her team had lost as well. Two attack-type Soul Masters had lost to a single support-type Soul Master in terms of strength.

Their support-type Soul Masters were weaker than the other side's support-type Soul Masters. After one battle, aside from that idiot Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon—

No one else had really been injured. Overall, they had been thoroughly defeated.

"If you don't say anything, I'll take it as you admitting defeat. According to the wager before the battle, what should you do now?"

As Qin Qi spoke, he walked to Huo Wu's side, lifted her chin, and grinned.

"What should you do? You aren't thinking of going back on your word, are you? That would be terribly embarrassing."

Dugu Yan also walked over, her face full of smug pride. Looking at Huo Wu's bedraggled state, she finally got to vent her anger this time.

The onlookers watched Qin Qi and Dugu Yan, and for some reason, felt that neither of them looked like good people.
