"Hook Spear Sinks the Soil!"
The upper-left arm gripping the Long Spear swung out violently.
Dark yellow light tore through the air with an overwhelmingly heavy force, cleaving straight toward the oncoming pillar of lightning.
Boom!
The Long Spear collided with the thunder.
The blinding light even pierced the Battle Mist, making the spectators instinctively cover their eyes.
The pillar of lightning was cleaved apart by brute force.
Yu Chenxiao emerged, his dragon claws clamped tightly around the Long Spear's blade as lightning raced along its shaft toward Lu Guan's arm.
Demonic markings flashed across the Demon Body, devouring it.
"I've got this!"
Lin Kong roared. The second soul ring beneath him flashed as he charged in with his shield!
Rather than retreat, Lu Guan advanced.
Bronze Staff Shakes the Thousand Jun!
His upper-right arm swung Shu, smashing it into the Jade Shield with the crushing force of Mount Tai bearing down from above.
Bang!
Lin Kong grunted, his body pitching backward uncontrollably.
The Battle Mist behind Lu Guan suddenly parted without a sound.
A brilliant flash of sword light shot straight toward the back of Lu Guan's neck, carrying a lethal edge.
A glint of cold steel arrived first!
Ye Xinglan!
She had waited a long time for this opening. Yu Chenxiao's frenzied assault was merely a feint. Her sword, concealed in the shadows, was the true killing blow!
The Stargod Sword's edge sliced through the air with a sharp hiss.
Its tip was about to pierce Lu Guan's skin.
Ye Xinglan's heart suddenly lurched. It was a warning from her sword intent!
The next instant, Lu Guan's two middle arms snapped backward.
"Halberd Splits the Layered Clouds!"
The long halberd became a streak of silver light, intercepting the Stargod Sword's blade with uncanny precision at an utterly inconceivable angle.
Clang!
Sparks flew everywhere.
Ye Xinglan felt an irresistible force surge through her sword. The web of her hand split open instantly, staining the hilt with blood.
The impact sent her sliding more than ten meters backward before she barely managed to steady herself.
"A sneak attack?" Lu Guan turned his head, his four eyes fixed on Yu Chenxiao and Ye Xinglan respectively. "Heh. Young people."
No martial honor!
In the stands.
Although the thick mist obscured most of the view, the occasional clashes of energy captured on the big screen, along with the screams piercing the fog, were enough to send the entire crowd into a frenzy.
That was Shrek!
And they were actually losing!
Could Tianhai Academy really be about to rise to greatness?!
In the second-floor viewing area.
The smile on Shen Yi's face had long since vanished without a trace. As a Soul Emperor, he could naturally see the battle clearly through the mist.
He gripped the railing tightly with both hands, his knuckles white.
"This is impossible..."
Shen Yi muttered to himself.
"Chenxiao is a direct descendant of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, a Four-Ring Soul Ancestor, and he has support from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda. How could he be getting beaten this badly..."
Wu Changkong stood beside him, watching the churning Battle Mist below.
"This is what it means to be someone full of surprises." Wu Changkong turned to look at Shen Yi.
On the arena platform.
The battle continued.
Yu Chenxiao swallowed a steamed bun. The injury to his right arm recovered somewhat, and he charged in again amid a sky full of thunder.
Lin Kong supported him on either side.
Ye Xinglan continued circling Lu Guan, relying on the Stargod Sword's sharpness and her talent for Man and Sword as One to search for an opening.
Ning Susu and Xu Lizhi stayed at the very back, desperately providing support.
The five worked together seamlessly.
But it meant nothing.
Lu Guan stood his ground, never retreating even half a step.
His six arms whirled in an airtight defense. Ge, Shu, Ji, Qiu, Yi. Driven by the War Lord Heart Method and paired with Shadow Trace's repositioning, the five weapons became one death-dealing talisman after another.
"Qiu Forms the Net!"
The Qiu Spear became a sky full of shimmering images, shredding every bolt of Yu Chenxiao's lightning.
"Yi Charges Through and Shatters!"
The Yi Spear shrieked as it tore through the air, forcing Ye Xinglan back again and again, leaving her no chance to get close.
One man was beating back five!
Yu Chenxiao's expression had turned ugly.
A monster.
What kind of monster was this guy?!
With his mighty Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon and the full amplification of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, he was still being crushed in a head-on clash! Even Ye Xinglan's lethal sword strike had been easily neutralized.
How was he supposed to fight this?!
Could he only wait for their three remaining teammates to break the deadlock?
No. He would never pin his hopes on anyone else!
Yu Chenxiao's face twitched. Beneath his feet, the black soul ring that had remained hidden at the very rear suddenly lit up!
Black light shot into the sky!
A Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring!
The spectators had been watching as though lost in clouds and fog, but the instant that black light appeared, the stands erupted!
"Holy shit! A black soul ring!"
"It finally lit up!"
"Is this Shrek's true depth? That's terrifying!"
The cries rose in wave after wave.
In the second-floor viewing area.
Hearing the cries from the crowd, Shen Yi's gloom vanished, and a proud smile returned to his face.
He turned toward Wu Changkong beside him.
"Senior brother, do you see? This is Chenxiao's real trump card."
"His fourth soul skill, Body-Burning Tyrant Thunder."
Shen Yi folded his arms. "Once he activates this soul skill, he even loses his sense of pain. His strength and speed soar to a terrifying level. That brat won't be able to stop him."
Wu Changkong rested both hands on the railing. He ignored him, his eyes fixed on the arena.
Rebuffed, Shen Yi snorted and looked back down.
On the arena platform.
The instant the black soul ring lit up, the raging blue lightning around Yu Chenxiao stopped spreading outward. Instead, it surged back wildly and plunged straight into his body!
Lightning took up residence within him!
The blue scales covering Yu Chenxiao rapidly turned black. Veins bulged beneath his skin, and what flowed through them seemed no longer to be blood, but pure lightning.
The intense heat instantly evaporated the sweat on his skin.
Tiny beads of blood seeped from his pores, only to be burned into vapor by electrical arcs before they could reach the ground.
He was burning his own blood!
"Roar!"
Yu Chenxiao threw back his head and let out an inhuman roar.
His eyes turned a blinding white. At that moment, thunder dwelled within every part of his body.
He was the king who ruled over lightning!
Bang!
A huge crater exploded in the ground, and Yu Tianheng vanished from where he stood.
He was already in front of Lu Guan.
Too fast!
So fast that even the dark red Battle Mist had no time to churn.
Lu Guan's four eyes abruptly narrowed. He barely had time to cross his two left arms in front of his chest.
Boom!
A fist slammed down.
Lu Guan slid more than ten meters backward, his feet plowing two deep furrows into the hard arena platform.
The Long Spear in his left hand trembled violently, letting out a mournful cry.
"Quite the Lightning Dharma King." Lu Guan shook out his numb arms, shaking off the black electrical arcs coiling around them.
As he looked at Yu Chenxiao before him, a strange feeling stirred within Lu Guan.
He had activated Nightmare Lure long ago. However, the seven Shrek members' fear was currently too weak, and the Nightmare Wraiths were not strong enough to make much difference by joining the fight directly.
So he had kept controlling the Nightmare Wraiths, searching for an opportunity.
But just now, the Nightmare Wraith belonging to Yu Chenxiao had vanished.
He feared nothing.
