Center Bloom! Evil Flame Gyroscope and Thunderous Wrath

Ma Hongjun, still in midair, finally reached his limit. His stomachache overcame his fear—and ignited the already restless Evil Flame within him!

Boom—!!!

It did not come from his mouth, but from behind him, directly facing Yu Tianheng.

A torrent of purplish-red Phoenix Evil Flame, far more powerful than usual and mixed with an indescribable aura, erupted violently like a breached dam!

It was as if all the pent-up discomfort in his body had found an outlet at this moment!

Yu Tianheng's Thunder Dragon Claw slammed solidly into that abnormally surging Evil Fire Phoenix blaze!

Bang—!!!!

A deafening explosion instantly erupted in midair!

Violent blue lightning and purplish-red Evil Flame tangled, collided, and annihilated one another in a frenzy!

Countless dazzling yet bizarre purplish-red fireballs, mixed with fine sparks of lightning, scattered through the air like the grandest festival fireworks, blooming with an incredibly "brilliant" and utterly dumbfounding spectacle!

The powerful impact blasted Yu Tianheng back to the ground. He staggered several steps before steadying himself. The dragon scales on his arm had darkened slightly, burning and numbness spreading through it, while his face was filled with shock and disbelief.

As for Ma Hongjun, he dropped like a torn sack with a thud, landing right in the center of the Huangdou Battle Team's formation!

That fall was nothing short of earth-shattering, instantly smashing every tactical arrangement of the Huangdou Battle Team to pieces!

Worse still, the "stinky Phoenix Fireline" triggered by his stomachache-induced loss of control, mixed with that indescribable aura, did not stop!

The powerful, continuous recoil from the flames made him spin frantically across the ground like a top with its ass on fire, both painfully and comically!

Purplish-red Evil Flame blazed like an out-of-control flamethrower, wildly sweeping in all directions without any pattern!

"Damn! What the hell is that?!"

"Get out of the way! Move!"

The Huangdou Battle Team instantly fell into chaos!

Yu Feng, who possessed the Windbell Bird martial soul, reacted the fastest. His wings beat sharply behind him as he cried out and shot into the sky at once.

He narrowly dodged the flames that swept past the soles of his feet, hovering high in the air with lingering fear as he looked down at the chaotic scene below, his face pale.

But the members on the ground were not so fortunate!

Although the black panther soul master Ao Sili was fast, the indiscriminate flames covering such a wide area still forced him into a miserable scramble.

He could only dart left and right with his agility, but several parts of his body were singed, giving off a burnt smell.

Dugu Yan, who stood slightly farther back, was hit even more directly!

A thick stream of Evil Flame suddenly lashed across where she stood!

"Ah—!"

Dugu Yan let out an alarmed, furious scream as purplish-red flames instantly wrapped around the sensitive parts of her body. Her clothes caught fire, emitting a scorched stink!

Though her soul power automatically protected her body and quickly extinguished the open flames, many parts of her clothing had been burned away, exposing snow-white skin and breathtaking curves beneath. Some areas were even faintly visible!

This alluring yet disheveled sight made countless spectators in the stands widen their eyes at once. Nosebleeds spurted everywhere, while whistles and cries of surprise rose in a cacophony!

"Yan!"

Yu Tianheng's eyes nearly split open. Seeing his girlfriend humiliated, his rage instantly overwhelmed his reason.

He knew he could not let this damned fat man continue wreaking havoc!

"Third Soul Skill: Thunderous Wrath!!"

Yu Tianheng unleashed a violent dragon roar, and blue-purple lightning power around his body exploded as though boiling over!

His body visibly swelled by a full circle. The lightning on his dragonized right arm surged by one hundred percent, and his aura instantly became incomparably violent and powerful!

This was a life-risking skill, trading massive soul power consumption and physical strain for an explosive increase in strength over a short period!

Only this way could he use absolute power to forcibly resist and suppress the endlessly spewing, wildly scattering Phoenix Evil Flame!

Crackle—!

Violent lightning formed a dazzling wall of electrical netting before him, continuously shattering and annihilating the purplish-red Evil Flame sweeping toward him!

Yet with every second he held on, his face turned a shade paler, and his soul power poured away like floodwaters through an opened sluice gate.

At the same time, the Shi brothers, the two Black Tortoise soul masters who had originally held the front line, were forced to abandon their formation as well.

Roaring, they turned around and aimed their heavy tortoise-shell shields at Ma Hongjun, who was spinning madly and spewing fire within their own camp, attempting to suppress him together.

Heavy earthen-yellow light rose as the brothers, like two moving fortresses, endured the burning Evil Flame and advanced step by step toward Ma Hongjun.

The Phoenix Evil Flame scorched their tortoise shells with sizzling sounds, yet it was unable to breach this top-tier defense.

However, their forced turn and defensive stance unintentionally gave the Shrek Team a tremendous advantage—

Their incomparably broad Black Tortoise shell shields happened to block Ma Hongjun's wildly spraying Evil Flame completely, restricting most of its power to the Huangdou Battle Team's own half of the arena!

In other words, the Huangdou Battle Team used their strongest shield to firmly take the greatest trouble caused by one of their own!

On the Soul Fighting Arena, the Huangdou Battle Team's backyard was on fire. Their captain Yu Tianheng was desperately holding off the chaos with his ultimate move, while their two defensive cores were forced to turn back and handle the "internal strife." Their formation had completely collapsed into a total mess.

Meanwhile, the Shrek Team remained almost completely unharmed where they stood.

Amid this chaos, Ye Lingling, the Nine-Heart Begonia soul master who had remained quietly standing in the rear, dressed in black with a thin veil covering her face, was completely exposed to danger!

The teammates around her had either been driven back by the Evil Flame or were busy saving themselves. No one had any strength to spare for her.

An out-of-control, thick purplish-red pillar of fire twisted toward her pale, panic-stricken face like a vicious fire python ready to devour her!

Ye Lingling's pupils suddenly contracted. She instinctively tried to retreat, only to discover that the scorching wind pressure had already locked onto her!

She could even smell her hair being singed by the searing heat! Despair instantly seized her heart.

At that critical moment!

A cyan figure appeared silently before her like a ghost, blocking all heat and danger!

"Third Soul Skill! Thorn Crown!"

Lin Jiang's cool voice rang out. The purple soul ring beneath his feet—actually a black ten-thousand-year soul ring concealed by disguise—suddenly burst with light!

Hum—!

Layers of interwoven dark thorns formed a thick vine wall shaped like an emperor's crown, erupting from the ground in an instant and precisely standing between Ye Lingling and the Phoenix Fireline!

The Evil Flame crashed fiercely against the vine wall with a deafening blast. Flames scattered everywhere, yet they could not shake it in the slightest!

Light shimmered across the surface of the Thorn Crown, which even absorbed and converted part of the flame energy.

Having narrowly survived, Ye Lingling stared blankly at the figure before her. His back was not especially broad, yet it felt as dependable as a mountain.

The young man's robes fluttered in the hot wind, his demeanor calm and composed.

Not one of her teammates had spared her a thought amid the chaos, yet this opponent had descended like a god, shielding her from everything at her most desperate moment...
