Behind the many Tang Sect disciples, Zhu Zhuqing, Ning Rongrong, Bai Chenxiang, and Oscar—the four remaining members of the Shrek Eight Monsters who had yet to make a move—watched the battle in the square intently.

The tension of the battle seemed to freeze the surrounding air. Only the shouts of distant soldiers and the sounds of clashing broke the brief silence.

Zhu Zhuqing's gaze was as sharp as that of a spirit cat. With her exceptionally keen eyesight, she had spotted Flender, the old bachelor, and Liu Erlong lying prone on the ground in the distance before anyone else noticed them.

Their faces were pale, and blood trickled from the corners of their mouths. Clearly, the previous battle had exhausted all their Soul Power.

Without any hesitation, Zhu Zhuqing stamped her foot, and her figure instantly vanished from where she stood. Like a black shadow, she charged into the battlefield at incredible speed.

Her objective was clear: rescue Flender and Liu Erlong as quickly as possible.

Wherever she passed, soldiers were sent flying by a powerful force. It was Zhu Zhuqing's Netherworld Hundred Claws; with every strike, several soldiers were knocked to the ground.

Her figure darted through the soldiers like an impenetrable wall of darkness.

At last, she reached Liu Erlong and Flender.

Seeing how weak they were, a trace of worry flashed through Zhu Zhuqing's eyes. But she had no time for sentiment, because she knew Ning Rongrong, Bai Chenxiang, and Oscar would arrive soon as well.

"That's the headmaster and Aunt Erlong! Hurry, let's help them..."

"All right, Rongrong, support me..."

Ning Rongrong, Bai Chenxiang, and Oscar exchanged glances, then swiftly rushed into the battlefield as well.

Holding the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, Ning Rongrong let out a delicate cry. "Seven Treasures turn, revealing glazed light: first, strength; second, speed; third, soul..." As her voice fell, several rays of colored light emerged from the pagoda and entered Oscar and Bai Chenxiang's bodies.

Oscar took out a sausage and muttered, "Copycat Image Sausage..." Soon, the phantom of an Evil-Eyed White Tiger appeared behind him. He had clearly copied Dai Mubai's soul skill long ago.

Bai Chenxiang's figure drifted unpredictably through the air. Like a nimble swift, she soared freely across the battlefield.

Under the four of their combined assault, the group of soldiers blocking the way before Flender and Liu Erlong was quickly defeated.

Zhu Zhuqing and Oscar helped Liu Erlong and Flender, the old bachelor, to their feet. At this moment, both wore deeply worried expressions.

Soldiers lay scattered across the square, while cries of battle filled the air, yet none of it could conceal the anxiety in Liu Erlong's voice.

"Quick, hurry and save Xiaogang..."

Liu Erlong tightly gripped Zhu Zhuqing's hand, her eyes filled with expectation and anxiety.

Zhu Zhuqing could feel Liu Erlong's emotions. She gently patted the back of Liu Erlong's hand in comfort.

Oscar looked at Liu Erlong and Flender with confidence. "Don't worry. Fatty will definitely save Grandmaster." His tone was filled with trust and pride in Ma Hongjun.

At that moment, Fairy Yuechan above the main hall lightly stepped forward. Dressed in a white gauze skirt, she looked like a pure and otherworldly fairy. The emerald-green longsword hanging at her waist added a touch of heroic spirit.

Her face was breathtakingly beautiful, her skin as fair as jade, her figure graceful, and her bearing elegant.

Fairy Yuechan looked toward Shi Hao, her eyes carrying an unfathomable gleam.

"Shi Hao, do you need me to deal with them?"

Her voice was clear and pleasant, like heavenly music.

Shi Hao smiled and shook his head. "No need, Yuechan. Just deal with Chen Xin and Gu Rong, those two Super Douluos, later. Leave these small fry to me."

At that moment, Ma Hongjun happened to fly beneath the main hall on flaming wings. He saw the useless Yu Xiaogang lying on the ground, his hands bound by iron chains.

He immediately rushed over, intending to help the useless Yu Xiaogang up.

However, at that moment, the Stone Emperor in dragon robes above the hall lightly extended his hand. A crystalline emerald-green willow branch appeared in it.

"Fatty, looks like you haven't been beaten enough."

Shi Hao called out with a smile, his voice carrying mockery and menace.

Ma Hongjun raised his head to look at Shi Hao, his eyes full of rage and unwillingness. When he saw that the Stone Emperor in dragon robes was actually the youth he had encountered in Tiangeng City, his face became utterly horrified.

"How could it be you..."

Ma Hongjun's voice was full of disbelief and shock. He had never imagined that the seemingly ordinary youth from back then had become the Stone Emperor who controlled the entire Tiandou Empire.

"No matter what, I must save Grandmaster today."

Ma Hongjun glanced at Yu Xiaogang, who had fainted on the ground with a pale face and trembling legs, and anxiety surged within him.

He knew that every second was crucial now.

Without the slightest hesitation, Ma Hongjun crouched down and tightly grabbed Yu Xiaogang's body with both hands. His flaming wings beat fiercely, whipping up a wave of heat. The surrounding air seemed to ignite, carrying scorching heat.

Yu Xiaogang was jolted somewhat awake by Ma Hongjun's violent movement. He felt as though a powerful force were dragging him along, his body swaying unsteadily in the air.

"Ow, ow, ow! Lighter, lighter! It hurts, it hurts... You pulled it, you pulled it..."

The sensation of weightlessness made Yu Xiaogang howl uncontrollably. His hands instinctively pressed against his legs, as though that could slightly ease the pain of becoming a eunuch.

Ma Hongjun stared resolutely ahead, beating his flaming wings with all his might. Every flap seemed capable of setting the air ablaze. He was incredibly fast, and in the blink of an eye, he had already flown over ten meters away.

Yet at that moment, Ma Hongjun suddenly felt an invisible force strike his back. It was like an unseen mountain, lashing heavily against him.

He could not help letting out a muffled groan. His body staggered in midair, nearly losing balance.

Immediately afterward, another cry of pain rang out.

Yu Xiaogang was also shaken into agony by that invisible force. His bloated body swayed through the air as though he might fall from Ma Hongjun's arms at any moment.

Finally, the two could no longer maintain their flight and fell from the sky like kites with severed strings.

Bang...

They crashed heavily onto the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust.

Ma Hongjun felt as if his internal organs had all been displaced by the impact. A burst of agonizing pain left him nearly unable to breathe.

But he knew he could not collapse now. He had to take Yu Xiaogang and escape as quickly as possible. Enduring the pain, he struggled to his feet and grabbed Yu Xiaogang's arm again, preparing to flee.

However, at that moment, a huge iron net descended from above and tightly trapped them both. Several soldiers rushed out from the shadows, shouting, "By the Stone Emperor's command, capture the rebels..."

Ma Hongjun struggled furiously, trying to break free from the iron net's restraints, but his flame power seemed utterly useless against it. The net tightened more and more, leaving them barely able to breathe.

"You idiots, let go of your grandpa..."

Ma Hongjun roared and struggled with all his strength, but after being severely wounded, he no longer had much Soul Power left.

Yu Xiaogang's face was also flushed red from the iron net constricting him. He groaned in agony, pressed his hands to his legs again, curled up on the ground, and cried, "Save me... Hurry and save me..."

The surrounding soldiers watched the two with mocking smiles. They knew this capture operation had succeeded. They began tightening the iron net, preparing to completely subdue them.

Shi Hao stood above the main hall in dragon robes, the golden dragon design on his back especially eye-catching beneath the sunlight. Seeing Ma Hongjun and the useless Yu Xiaogang firmly captured by the soldiers, the corners of his lips rose into a satisfied smile.

He swept out his hand, and it seemed as if the air throughout the square moved with it. His voice was deep and powerful. "Very good. Soldiers, I will personally take action next and fight alongside you to suppress the rebel Tang Sect and Shrek Academy..."

His words were filled with dominance and confidence, as though he were declaring victory in advance.

Upon hearing him, the surrounding soldiers all revealed excited, exhilarated expressions. They gripped their weapons tightly and shouted in unison, "Long live the Stone Emperor! Long live the Stone Emperor..."

Their voices shook the heavens and earth, displaying their soaring morale.

Following Shi Hao's command, the atmosphere throughout the square instantly grew tense. Tens of thousands of soldiers began forming ranks in perfect order, preparing for the coming battle.

Meanwhile, the Tang Sect disciples and Shrek Academy members in the distance also sensed the approaching danger.

Shi Hao's gaze gradually turned cold. He swept it toward the distant Tang Sect disciples and Shrek Academy members, shouting dominantly, "All who offend my Stone Kingdom shall be suppressed..."

After saying that, Shi Hao's body began to tremble slightly, and the surrounding air seemed to grow restless. Then he clenched both fists as a powerful force surged within him.

"Azure Sky Roc Divine Technique..."

With Shi Hao's low shout, his figure suddenly blurred. A deafening cry echoed across the sky as a gigantic golden Heavenly Roc condensed in midair.

That was right. The Kunpeng Divine Technique that the Willow Deity had passed on to Shi Hao was not merely its core portion; it also contained many scattered ultimate techniques. The Azure Sky Roc Divine Technique was one such technique that had spread through the lower realm.

This Heavenly Roc was enormous, radiating golden light all over its body. Its pair of golden wings spread open to a full twenty meters wide, like two golden clouds that blotted out the sky and sun. Its figure occupied the entire heavens.

The Heavenly Roc flapped its golden wings, stirring up a fierce gale as it flew toward the many Tang Sect disciples and Shrek Academy members.

That fierce gale was like a mountain-shaking tsunami, carrying the power to destroy everything.

Faced with this sudden attack, the Tang Sect disciples and Shrek Academy members all revealed terrified expressions.

"Old Rhino, quickly defend with me..."

Tai Tan hurriedly stepped forward and unleashed his Martial Soul Avatar. His Mighty Gorilla Avatar stood seven or eight meters tall, yet before the enormous golden Heavenly Roc, it still appeared exceedingly small.
