The Gale Team's long-term coordination had forged formidable cohesion. Faced with the simultaneous attack of three people, Tang Hao's heart sank, yet a thrill rose from deep within him.

Come on!

Let me show you what I'm capable of!

His Third Soul Ring lit up, and dark golden light flickered across the Haotian Hammer in his hand. He wanted those before him to taste its might and let the world know what the number one Tool Martial Soul under heaven was.

But just as he was about to attack, the Control Type Soul Master who had been hiding among the Gale Team gently waved the wooden staff in his hand. Tang Hao then discovered in horror that he had lost control of his body.

This wasn't one against three. This was one against four!

This was a team game!

Unfortunately, Tang Hao realized it too late.

Emerald light rose around Tang Hao and Tang Xiao. This was Ah Yin's First Soul Skill, Guardian, which could place a shield around its target.

Unfortunately, against one Soul King and two Soul Ancestors, with Tang Hao having lost control of his body, this shield was nothing more than a drop in the bucket. It simply could not withstand the combined assault of the three.

Tang Hao was the first to leave the battle. He paid the price for his recklessness.

Tang Xiao was the other person who had to pay for Tang Hao's recklessness. However, as the Gale Team sent Tang Hao out and prepared to surround Tang Xiao, Bai Yu used his Soul Skill to catch one of their Agile Attack Type Soul Masters, while Yang Dong appeared at his side.

An exchange!

This was the decision Yang Dong and Bai Yu had made. Since their side had already lost someone first, they had to make the other side lose someone as well. Otherwise, six against seven would put them at a severe disadvantage.

"Seven Treasures have names: first, Strength."

"Seven Treasures have names: second, Speed."

This time, Ning Fengzhi had made up his mind. He cast both Soul Skills on all five others besides himself.

Ah Yin held the Blue Silver Emperor in both hands, and her First Soul Ring lit up again. Guardian was activated once more, this time on Tang Xiao.

At the same time, Ah Yin's Third Soul Ring suddenly lit up, and emerald seeds flew onto Yang Dong and the others.

Third Soul Skill: Seed of Blessing.

It could restore thirty percent of an ally's Soul Power and stamina. More remarkably, this Soul Skill could be activated by the person carrying the seed.

The emerald shield gave Tang Xiao a brief moment to catch his breath. He now understood Yang Dong and Bai Yu's plan. Ignoring the attacks from those around him, he directly coordinated with Yang Dong and Bai Yu to eliminate one Agile Attack Type Soul Master!

"A Qian, attack their backline!"

The other Agile Attack Type Soul Master, who had originally intended to join this encirclement, immediately changed targets and headed toward Ah Yin and Ning Fengzhi.

"A Tai, protect Ah Yin and Ning Fengzhi."

At this point, neither Yang Dong nor Bai Yu could spare themselves. They could only place their hopes on Tyson, whose role had always been to protect the two in the rear.

"If you want to touch them, you'll have to get past me first!"

A sharp rhino horn protruded from Tyson's face. He looked at the Agile Attack Type Soul Master cutting in and spoke in a muffled voice as he activated his Second Soul Skill, Heavy Pressure!

Heavy Pressure temporarily increased the gravity in the surrounding area after activation.

With his Soul Skill, Tyson successfully delayed the Agile Attack Type Soul Master's advance.

On the other side, Yang Dong had already released Blade Soul. With Blade Soul's enhancement, the three of them received boosts to both strength and agility. However, Yang Dong realized in astonishment that it wasn't enough. There wasn't enough time.

At the instant they eliminated that Agile Attack Type Soul Master, Tang Xiao might also be eliminated. Worse still, the enemy backline was safe and could continue buffing those at the front. Moreover, that Control Type Soul Master was chanting, clearly preparing some ultimate move.

"You attack their backline. I'll hold them off as long as I can!"

Dense tentacles surrounded Bai Yu's body. Since he could only use two Soul Skills, his abilities were severely restricted.

A Control Type Soul Master without control skills—wasn't that a joke?

"Give me one minute."

Yang Dong left those words behind and charged toward the Gale Team's backline like a bolt of lightning.

"You want to attack the backline? Don't even think about it!"

Kuang Tie let out a savage grin. His Fifth Soul Ring flashed—Thousand Armies Easily Cleaved!

This was his most powerful attack skill. The reason he had held it back was precisely to prevent anyone from launching an assault on the backline!

Block!

Yang Dong used the Block skill with the Immaculate Sword in his hand. At the same time, an emerald shield appeared around him, but Kuang Tie's blow still numbed half his body and sent him flying sideways.

Silver Light Falling Blade!

While in midair, Yang Dong used this attack only with great difficulty. He appeared at the edge of the boundary line, just barely avoiding elimination.

Five-Stage Slash!

Po Jun Sheng Long Strike!

The moment Yang Dong landed, he charged at the Gale Team's backline again.

"Stop him!"

Kuang Tie's heart sank as he spoke to the Defense Type Soul Master behind him.

But could he stop him?

With Yang Dong going all out, he easily appeared beside the Support Type Soul Master.

"Mask Team Attack Type Soul Master eliminated."

"Gale Team Agile Attack Type Soul Master Zuo Yi eliminated."

One for one. In the end, Tang Xiao could only trade himself for the Agile Attack Type Soul Master Bai Yu had tied down. This was not good news for Yang Dong's side.

It meant that Kuang Tie, the Attack Type Soul King, had been freed up.

"Forget the guy in the back. Let's clear out their entire backline first."

Kuang Tie had a very clear understanding of the situation. He had no intention of sending anyone back to reinforce them. The two Attack Type Soul Masters aggressively began pursuing Bai Yu.

"Gale Team Support Type Soul Master Hu Zi eliminated!"

"Mask Team Control Type Soul Master eliminated!"

At the same time Yang Dong eliminated one opponent, Bai Yu was eliminated by Kuang Tie and the other man.

The Gale Team still had five people remaining, while Yang Dong's side had four.

One Support Type Soul Master, one Healing Type Soul Master, and one Defense Type Soul Master—how could those three possibly withstand the attacks of the Gale Team's two Attack Type Soul Masters and one Agile Attack Type Soul Master?

"Gale Team Control Type Soul Master Mu En eliminated."

Upon hearing this, Kuang Tie raised an eyebrow. "Speed it up!"

He suddenly felt that something was wrong!

"Mask Team Support Type Soul Master eliminated!"

Finally, with the support of the two Attack Type Soul Masters, the Gale Team's Agile Attack Type Soul Master found an opportunity and eliminated Ning Fengzhi.
