Teach Dugu Yan a Lesson! Yu Tianheng Breaks Down!

BOOM!!!

A muffled blast rang out, accompanied by an indescribable stench.

It was as though an explosion had occurred at Ma Hongjun's rear, the powerful impact mixed with lingering evil fire and certain foul substances.

His entire body was violently blasted into the air like a rag doll!

Trailing black smoke and a strange odor, he arced through the air before landing face-first at the edge of the arena with a wet splat.

His limbs twitched a few times before going completely still, leaving only his charred backside faintly smoking.

The evil-fire crisis within the Huangdou Battle Team had finally been forcibly eliminated by Yu Tianheng through ruthless means... in this tragic fashion.

But Yu Tianheng himself had turned pale as paper after unleashing two soul skills in succession, especially from continuously maintaining Thunderous Wrath.

His chest heaved violently as he panted heavily, clearly having expended an enormous amount of soul power.

The situation on the arena instantly became clear, yet even more tense.

On the Huangdou Battle Team's side, Ao Sili, the Ghost Leopard, and Dugu Yan, the Jade Phosphor Serpent, had consumed tremendous amounts of soul power. Their clothes were disheveled, their breathing chaotic, and they were already at the end of their strength.

Even Yu Tianheng, their strongest member, was deathly pale and breathing heavily. The immense expenditure of maintaining Thunderous Wrath had clearly pushed him to the brink of exhaustion.

Only the two Black Tortoise Turtle soul masters remained. Their defense was astonishing, but they lacked any effective offensive methods and could not turn the tide.

Meanwhile, Lin Jiang, Xiao Wu, and Zhu Zhuqing of Shrek were all in perfect condition, while the radiance of Ning Rongrong's Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda continued to flow steadily.

The outcome seemed beyond doubt.

Yet the Huangdou Battle Team's eyes still burned with unwillingness, especially Dugu Yan's. The humiliation and fury in her gaze were nearly tangible.

And that was exactly what Lin Jiang wanted—he needed a complete and utter crushing victory, especially one that would leave this proud Jade Phosphor Serpent with an unforgettable "deep" impression for the rest of her life.

"First Soul Skill, Azure Entanglement!"

The "white" soul ring beneath Lin Jiang's feet—actually a terrifying existence beyond six thousand years—flashed faintly.

Several lush green vines, plain and unremarkable in appearance, slithered silently toward Dugu Yan like venomous snakes leaving their nests.

"Heh!" Extreme contempt flashed through Dugu Yan's eyes.

"A useless soul skill from a white soul ring! You actually dare bring it out and embarrass yourself?"

She could not even be bothered to struggle with all her strength, believing she could easily shatter these "low-level" vines.

At the exact moment Lin Jiang made his move, fierce light flashed in Ao Sili's eyes. He poured his last remaining soul power into his legs.

His body turned into a ghostly black shadow as he used his speed advantage to pounce straight at Ning Rongrong in the rear. "Take out your support first!"

Meanwhile, the two Black Tortoise Turtle soul masters, Shi Mo and Shi Mo, roared as they charged toward Ning Rongrong like two moving mountains, heavy yet resolute!

They knew full well that as long as the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda remained, the other side would be nearly invincible!

"Your opponent is me!"

Zhu Zhuqing's cool voice rang out. Though she moved later, her figure arrived first, seeming to merge with the shadows as her claws flashed coldly and intercepted Ao Sili with perfect precision!

Although her soul power was one ring lower, Ning Rongrong's thirty-percent boost to speed and strength made her astonishingly fast.

She actually became locked in combat with Ao Sili. Her claw shadows blocked every strike from the black panther. Though she was at a disadvantage, she would not be defeated anytime soon.

On the other side, pink light flickered in Xiao Wu's eyes.

"Second Soul Skill, Bewitching Touch!"

"Third Soul Skill, Teleportation!"

Her figure flickered like a phantom between the two massive Black Tortoise Turtle soul masters.

Her pink fists and kicks could hardly break through their heavy turtle-shell defenses, but her sudden teleportations and bewitching interference successfully kept the two hulking men pinned in place, unable to get even close to Ning Rongrong.

Meanwhile, the battle on Lin Jiang's side had already "ended."

"What?! That's impossible!"

The contempt on Dugu Yan's face instantly turned into horror!

She struggled desperately, soul power surging wildly through her body, but those seemingly ordinary green vines were tougher than she could have imagined. Like the strongest alloy chains, they not only refused to break, but tightened further and further.

They squeezed her until her bones creaked and she could barely breathe, outlining the curves of her shapely body even more starkly!

A white soul ring? How could it possibly have this kind of power?!

"Yan Yan!"

Yu Tianheng was frantic. Forcing out the last remnants of his soul power, he lunged at Lin Jiang with his dragonized right claw flickering with weak lightning, trying to rescue his beloved.

But his soul power had already run dry. He could not even unleash a complete soul skill!

Lin Jiang did not even turn around. With a casual wave of his hand, several more Azure Vines shot out like agile tentacles.

They effortlessly wrapped around the weakened Yu Tianheng as well, binding him into a dumpling so tightly that he could not move.

"Bastard! Let her go! Don't touch Yan Yan!"

Yu Tianheng struggled frantically, his eyes bloodshot, but he could only watch helplessly as Lin Jiang walked step by step toward Dugu Yan, who was tightly restrained and filled with shock and rage.

Lin Jiang slowly approached Dugu Yan and looked down at her.

Ignoring the flames of fury blazing in her eyes, he extended a finger and lightly lifted her smooth but tense chin, his tone carrying a teasing scrutiny.

"Huangdou Battle Team, are you still refusing to surrender?"

"Pah! In your dreams!"

Dugu Yan had a fierce temperament. Even restrained by another, she refused to bow her head and tried to spit at him.

Lin Jiang tilted his head slightly and avoided it, his eyes instantly turning cold.

"Fine, fine, fine. You've got spirit. You brought this on yourself."

With a thought, the Azure Vines wrapped around Dugu Yan seemed to receive an order and began undergoing subtle changes.

Several of the vines, like living tentacles, precisely moved toward the most sensitive, ticklish, and embarrassing areas of her body.

Then—they applied light pressure, or slowly rubbed and scratched.

"Ah—!"

Dugu Yan's body suddenly stiffened before beginning to tremble violently beyond her control!

An overwhelmingly intense sensation, mixed with immense shame and strange stimulation, crashed over her nerves like a tidal wave!

She desperately tried to clench her teeth, yet broken sobs and cries laced with tears still escaped her throat.

All the strength seemed to drain from her body in an instant. Her legs went weak, and had the vines not held her up, she would already have collapsed to the ground.

At the same time, Lin Jiang's Bewitching Touch quietly activated through the finger supporting her chin.

An indescribable tremor and warmth that reached into the depths of her soul flowed into her body like a drug, further breaking down her will and resistance.

"No! Stop! Bastard! Beast! Let her go! I'll kill you!!!"

Seeing Dugu Yan trembling all over, her gaze unfocused and her face flushed with painful shame, Yu Tianheng completely lost his mind!

Like a trapped beast driven into a corner, he struggled with all his might, veins bulging on his forehead as he let out a heart-rending roar.

That face, usually cold and rigid, like a copy of his uncle Yu Xiaogang's, showed utter collapse and panic for the first time!

Lin Jiang bent down and leaned close to Dugu Yan's ear, speaking in a voice only the two of them could hear, like a demon whispering.

"Watching your boyfriend go mad over you... doesn't it make it... even more exciting?"

"Ah—!"

Dugu Yan's reason finally shattered completely. She let out a piercing cry, whether from extreme humiliation and fury or from being consumed by some unfamiliar sensation, her eyes going utterly unfocused...
