Ambush

Dai Yueheng underwent a double transformation, and his entire left arm, covered with dark gold patterns, was completely severed from the shoulder.

The severed area was instantly frozen by Ultimate Ice, suppressing the gushing blood and leaving only a pale, frost-covered wound.

The heavy, severed arm, strewn with bits of ice, crashed onto the ice of the arena.

A sharp pain coursed through his meridians, causing Dai Yueheng to tremble violently. His vision blurred, and he staggered, barely able to stand.

"Not good!"

In the Shrek's preparation area, a phantom image of Light Phoenix appeared behind Yan Shaozhe, and in a flash, he rushed onto the arena.

He forcefully dispersed the snow mist covering the arena with the terrifying Soul Power of Super Douluo.

He used his right palm to directly block the Snow Empress's remaining sword force, knocking her back.

At the same time, Referee Huang Jinxu frowned slightly, about to speak up to stop him, but then remembered that Dai Yueheng was the eldest son of Duke Dai Hao of the White Tiger Duke, so he held back.

"Song Que, why be so ruthless?"

Yan Shaozhe looked at Dai Yueheng, who had lost an arm and was seriously injured, his face ashen, and coldly shouted.

Song Que suddenly burst out laughing, his tone laced with sarcasm. "Dean Yan, this is the second time."

"You've interfered with the game for the second time, breaking the rules!"

"Does Shrek Academy think it can disregard the rules of the Continental Soul Master Tournament and do whatever it wants?"

"If that's the case, is there any point in having this competition? Why not just declare Shrek Academy the winner?"

Yan Shaozhe's face darkened, and he retorted, "Nonsense, utter nonsense!"

"On the field, limbs are broken at the drop of a hat. Such a ruthless nature at such a young age. If I hadn't intervened, the consequences would have been unimaginable."

Song Que snorted coldly and retorted directly, "You're talking nonsense!"

"How many contestants has Shrek's Ma Xiaotao injured, crippled, or even killed along the way?"

"Our senior, Blood Wolf, from the Just Sky Academy, is still recovering from injuries to his hands and feet, and is currently bedridden."

"Your Shrek Academy has injured countless people, and you turn around and accuse me of being too heavy-handed?"

"You're allowed to hurt people, but others aren't allowed to do the same?"

"Referee Honor, we urge you to provide an explanation for this match!"

Song Que had witnessed the Referee's inaction. He looked directly at the Referee and questioned him in a deep voice.

Huang Jinxu's face turned pale, and he subconsciously looked at Xu Jiawei and Dai Hao on the high platform, speechless for a moment.

After a brief standoff, he finally mustered the courage to speak.

"Dean Yan's unauthorized interference with the competition is indeed a violation."

"Just Sky Academy wins this match."

"If Shrek Academy commits any further violations, Shrek Academy results for today will be immediately cancelled!"

Song Que snorted coldly and said no more.

Yan Shaozhe also looked grim and remained silent.

The Referee looked at Dai Yueheng on the ring. "Can you still stand up?"

Dai Yueheng struggled to his feet, looking at his empty left shoulder, a bitter feeling welling up inside him.

The severed arm wound was sealed by Ultimate Ice, preventing blood from flowing and leaving the skin numb, which in turn greatly reduced the pain.

"Walk."

Yan Shaozhe gave a cold shout and turned to lead him away.

Dai Yueheng's gaze unconsciously swept over the Shrek's preparation area, and when he looked at Dai Huabin in the arena, a bleak smile appeared on his face.

He knew in his heart that with his arm broken, he would never be able to compete with Dai Huabin in the family again.

He has completely lost his chance in this lifetime.

He gritted his teeth, his gaze falling back on Song Que, his eyes filled with intense hatred.

But in the center of the arena, Song Que and Snow Empress didn't take him seriously at all.

Snow Empress turned to look at Song Que and began to offer guidance.

"Battle is inherently a mixture of illusion and reality."

"The correct way to fight is to make good use of your own abilities, seize the opponent's weakness, and then strike a fatal blow."

"Your previous fighting style was just recklessly expending your power and wasting your Soul Power."

"Also, your control over the power of ice and snow is too rough, consuming too much Soul Power. You must correct this."

Song Que listened to Snow Empress's words and nodded slowly, seemingly lost in thought.

The two ignored their own state throughout, completely igniting the anger in Dai Yueheng's heart.

A surge of anger welled up inside him, and a terrifying thought crossed his mind.

Now that I am severely injured and disabled, with my future ruined, what else do I have to worry about?

Thinking of his mother's increasingly haggard appearance, a look of madness surged in Dai Yueheng's eyes.

"Dai Huabin, since that's how it is, I'll grant your wish!"

Taking advantage of the fact that everyone's attention was focused on the Referee and Yan Shaozhe.

He secretly reached into his Storage Soul Tool with his fingertips and pulled out a long, black cannon.

Without the slightest hesitation, Dai Yueheng raised his hand and aimed it at Song Que, activating the skill immediately.

"Oh no! It's Fixed-Installation Soul Guidance Cannon!"

The Referee immediately noticed something was wrong and warned them, but it was too late to stop it.

A deafening roar erupted!

A blinding flash of fire tore through the air, hurtling towards Song Que at breakneck speed!

Upon hearing the sound, Snow Empress turned her head, her expression changing drastically. She wanted to intercept, but she was a little too close.

The flash of light instantly struck the target.

Song Que's chest was pierced through, leaving a gruesome, gaping hole.

His pupils dilated, and he froze on the spot, completely unprepared for the other party's blatant violation of the rules and a sneak attack.

In the VIP section, Jing Hongchen's lips curled slightly as she spoke softly.

"Virtue Hall's specially made, Level-8 Fixed-Installation Soul Guidance Puncture Cannon."

"Its destructive power is significantly lower than that of a regular level 8 Soul Cannon, but it excels in penetration and has extremely high single-target damage."

"Even Titled Douluo would suffer a fatal injury if hit at close range."

Upon hearing this, Du Busi flew into a rage, instantly rushing to his position and shouting angrily.

Shrek Academy!

"Such behavior is despicable and shameless!"

On the high platform, Xu Jiawei and Dai Hao both looked grim, never expecting Dai Yueheng to do such a thing.

This situation is likely to be difficult to resolve.

The audience erupted in uproar, with shouts of anger and protests filling the air.

The students from the Just Sky Academy rushed out together, ready to charge onto the arena.

"Etc!"

Snow Empress suddenly spoke up to stop everyone.

"I did not sense his death."

Everyone was stunned, and instantly held their breath as they looked at Song Que.

The next second, on the arena, the Hōgyoku in Song Que's Zanpakutō suddenly lit up with a faint light.

His fifth black Soul Ring was instantly and completely stained with crimson light.

"Buzz!"

A deep, trembling sound exploded from within him.

The Zanpakutō in his hand instantly transformed, its shape lengthening and thinning, the hilt taking on a swastika shape, and the blade becoming jet black.

Dark spiritual energy enveloped his entire body, and the gruesome piercing wound on his chest began to heal at a visible speed, with the flesh writhing and healing rapidly.

"High-Speed Regeneration!"

In a short moment, the severe chest injury healed rapidly, leaving only faint traces of blood.

At the same time, strange black and white Visored patterns began to appear on his face.

The lines spread and intertwined rapidly, barely covering half of his cheek, carrying a wild, domineering, and terrifyingly oppressive feeling of Destruction everything.

His aura surged several times over in an instant.

Song Que slowly raised his eyes, his gaze filled with nothing but icy killing intent.

With a single step, he instantly appeared in front of Dai Yueheng.

He slashed horizontally with the long, black blade in his hand.

Black and red light blades swept across the arena!

"Pfft!"

Three crisp snapping sounds rang out in succession.

Dai Yueheng's two legs, along with his third leg, were severed by Song Que's black longsword in one stroke.

Blood gushed out instantly, the scene was extremely gruesome.

With only half his body remaining, Dai Yueheng collapsed to the ground, his fate unknown.
