Time rewound slightly—
Liu Erlong, who had brushed past Flender, even used her second soul skill, Explosive Flame, detonating it behind herself to keep Flender from catching up and interfering.
In an instant, the soul skill originally meant for attack became a speed boost, pushing Liu Erlong's speed to its limit.
Yu Xiaogang suddenly felt his soul leave his body.
Guys, who could understand this!?
The terror of a weak Grand Soul Master getting rushed head-on by a Soul Ancestor!
And just as Yu Xiaogang's mind went blank—
As a rare detached beast Martial Soul with an exceptionally high degree of self-awareness, Luo Sanpao displayed its finest qualities. It leaped straight up from where it stood and rammed into Liu Erlong, who was charging directly at Yu Xiaogang.
Faced with this sudden turn of events, even Liu Erlong, experienced as she was in battle, froze for an instant.
Even the power of her thrown punch diminished considerably due to that brief moment of shock, though it still landed solidly on Luo Sanpao.
"Luo!"
With a miserable cry, Luo Sanpao flew backward into Yu Xiaogang, sending both of them flying.
Looking at Yu Xiaogang lying on the ground and groaning, Liu Erlong hesitated briefly. In the end, she decided to go over and finish him off by knocking him unconscious, lest he cause any more trouble later.
It was also at that moment that the intense pain finally jolted Yu Xiaogang's crashed brain back to reason.
Looking at the murderous Liu Erlong approaching, then at Flender fighting Qian Mo, Yu Xiaogang's emotions surged in an instant.
At that moment, Yu Xiaogang finally understood why Flender had changed the original soul battle into a two-on-two.
Because that guy on the other side was hiding something!
And in Yu Xiaogang's heart, Flender's strength was beyond doubt. Dealing with Qian Mo, a mere Grand Soul Master without a third Soul Ring, would be easy as pie.
As long as I endure this brief gap, Flender can come back and support me!
Then this soul battle will definitely be ours. I have to hold on!
At the thought of that possibility, Yu Xiaogang felt strength course through his entire body. He even felt that the tougher and more manly he acted now, the more likely he would be to win Liu Erlong's favor.
So Yu Xiaogang gritted his teeth, endured the agonizing pain, and rose from the ground, roaring wildly in his heart.
Woman! Don't underestimate the bond between us brothers!
At that moment, Luo Sanpao and Yu Xiaogang were of one mind.
With a thought from Yu Xiaogang, a Century Soul Ring immediately encircled Luo Sanpao.
Luo Sanpao's body, originally around one meter in size, rapidly swelled until it reached a full five meters, finally stopping after turning into a gigantic sphere.
Yu Xiaogang immediately shouted!
"A fart like thunder! Luo Sanpao: Heaven-Shattering Earth-Splitting Barrage!"
All these changes happened within just a few seconds, catching the stunned Liu Erlong completely off guard.
It was already too late to knock out Yu Xiaogang, who was perfectly shielded by Luo Sanpao. Liu Erlong could only raise both arms, intending to endure Luo Sanpao's attack first.
But Liu Erlong soon regretted underestimating Yu Xiaogang, a mere Grand Soul Master.
She had been careless. She had not dodged.
As Luo Sanpao made a bizarrely nimble turn, Liu Erlong's face changed when she saw the chrysanthemum already beginning to bloom!
"Boom!"
In an instant, a short, violent sound truly exploded like thunder.
Along with it came a powerful shockwave carrying a foul stench, which instantly slammed into Liu Erlong.
But Liu Erlong had no time to feel disgusted.
Because the instant that stinking fart attack struck her, the scattered sparks around her body ignited it at once, causing a violent secondary explosion that blasted her entire body away.
"Boom!"
Qian Mo's gaze was immediately drawn to the violent blaze. The corner of his mouth twitched, but he still forcibly held back the urge to burst into laughter.
Yet inwardly, Qian Mo was laughing his head off.
Hahaha, this is exactly what I wanted to see! This is way too good!
Meanwhile, because she had been caught in the explosion at close range, Liu Erlong was blasted more than twenty meters away. Even after landing on the ground, her head was still buzzing.
But Liu Erlong did not care about that minor abnormal condition at all. She had suffered far worse injuries while hunting soul beasts and fighting soul battles before.
At that moment, Liu Erlong had only one thought in her mind.
I got blasted by a fart!
Blasted by a fart!
Fart-blasted!
Blasted!
...ed!
As that desperate echo reverberated through her mind, Liu Erlong's recovering senses caught the lingering foul stench at the tip of her nose.
In an instant, Liu Erlong's eyes turned bloodshot, and she began panting like a bull!
"Damn bastard! You actually made me embarrass myself in front of Qian Mo and so many companions!
"Ahhh! I'm going to kill him!"
With a scream, Liu Erlong slapped the ground and sprang up, flames surging wildly around her.
Although Yu Xiaogang had likewise been blown more than twenty meters away by the close-range explosion and had long since passed out on the ground—
Liu Erlong did not care about any of that.
As the culprit behind her disgrace, Yu Xiaogang was now the target of Liu Erlong's overwhelming killing intent!
"Die, you bastard!"
With Liu Erlong's roar, she instantly transformed into a fiery streak and swung her fist toward Yu Xiaogang, who lay on the ground, intending to kill him in one blow.
But because Qian Mo had briefly stopped attacking, Flender finally got a chance to catch his breath.
The instant he realized Liu Erlong's target, he flapped his wings and directly blocked her path.
Seeing someone obstruct her, Liu Erlong, whose killing intent had reached its peak, threw a punch without a second thought.
At the same time, she activated her strongest fourth soul skill.
Frenzied Flame Fury!
Effect: Fire-attribute damage increased by 70%; strength temporarily increased by 100%!
Flender instinctively raised an arm to block.
But the instant they collided, Flender felt an irresistible and overwhelming force transmit through him. He immediately turned into a dark silhouette and was sent flying.
But just as Liu Erlong was about to press her advantage and kill Yu Xiaogang—
Qian Mo's clear voice suddenly rang throughout the arena.
"Lulu!"
The understanding they had built over many days of training instantly let Ye Lulu grasp Qian Mo's meaning. The four wings on her back spread open, and she transformed into a streak of golden light, blocking Yu Xiaogang and intercepting Liu Erlong's fatal blow.
Although she saw clearly that the person blocking her was Ye Lulu—
Liu Erlong, consumed by killing intent, did not care. Her remaining two Soul Rings lit up one after another as flames blazed violently around her body, and she roared.
"Move aside, Ye Lulu! I'm going to kill this bastard!"
"That won't do."
As Ye Lulu answered, she rapidly blocked Liu Erlong's relentless flurry of attacks, as overwhelming as crashing waves.
Unlike Flender, who had been defeated in a single strike, Ye Lulu appeared entirely at ease, relying on her top-tier Martial Soul and cultivation far surpassing Liu Erlong's.
But as she watched Liu Erlong, who was utterly unable to calm down—
Just as Ye Lulu wondered whether she should knock her unconscious, Qian Mo's voice rang out again.
