Five Weapons: Profound Calamity!

Yu Chenxiao lunged at him again, leaving him no chance to catch his breath.

Now, every punch and kick he threw carried the savage thunder empowered by a Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring.

The air warped beneath the lightning!

Lu Guan unleashed all six arms, whirling his five weapons into a blur of light as he weathered Yu Tianheng's relentless bombardment.

Clang, clang, clang, clang, clang!

The rapid collisions were deafening.

Yu Chenxiao was now utterly deranged. He made no attempt to dodge Lu Guan's weapons, letting the bronze Shu smash into his shoulder in exchange for a claw strike at Lu Guan's heart.

Trading wound for wound!

Lightning ravenously ate away at Lu Guan's Battle Mist.

Ye Xinglan moved too.

Seizing the moment when Yu Chenxiao had Lu Guan pinned down, she turned her Stargod Sword into a concealed streak of light and thrust straight at Lu Guan's lower body.

An attack from above and below.

The battle turned on its head in an instant!

On the other side of the Battle Mist.

The Tianhai Five were still locked in fierce combat with the Shrek Three. Hearing the commotion, they all craned their heads out.

"Captain, should we go help?" Li Qiang swallowed, watching the rampaging Yu Tianheng with his heart crawling with dread.

Liu Feng slapped him on the back of the head.

"Help, my ass! You want to serve yourself up on a platter? Lu Guan told us to stick to clearing out the small fry."

"But can he hold them off alone?"

Liu Feng gritted his teeth. "Just watch."

At the edge of the Battle Mist.

A petite figure crouched on the ground, both hands clamped around a Star Staff half a head taller than she was.

Xu Xiaoyan.

Her palms were slick with sweat, her breathing quick and shallow.

The fight in the center was terrifying.

That fellow wreathed in black lightning looked as though he wanted to smash everyone to pieces.

She had been timid since childhood. Faced with a scene like this, her instinct was to hide.

But...

Xu Xiaoyan took a deep breath, poked half her head out, and looked toward the arena.

Lu Guan's Battle Mist shared its perception with her.

She could see everything clearly.

Yu Chenxiao had now plunged completely into madness.

The Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring's enhancement had given him the power to tear everything apart.

He had abandoned defense entirely, letting Lu Guan's Long Spear slash bloody gashes across his shoulders just to leave wounds on Lu Guan in return!

Yu Chenxiao did not care about this exchange of injuries, and with his Demon Body, neither did Lu Guan.

But Xu Xiaoyan could not ignore those wounds.

Xu Xiaoyan looked at the figure ahead. Honestly, Lu Guan's Martial Soul had always possessed something demonic about it, and those bloody marks made him look truly frightening.

When she had first moved into the Body Sect, her first glimpse of Lu Guan's Demon Body had given her nightmares that very night.

For a time, she had even trembled in fear around him.

But after spending these past few months together, Xu Xiaoyan knew what kind of person Brother Lu Guan was.

That terrifying body no longer frightened her. Instead, it gave her a sense of safety!

After all, if she found it scary, wouldn't the bad guys find it scary too?

And now, he was hurt.

Xu Xiaoyan remembered the look Lu Guan had given her before the match.

Encouragement, hope, trust.

She suddenly felt strength flooding her body!

Could this be the power of comrades?

Don't underestimate the bonds of the Body Sect, hey!

The three star wheels atop her Star Staff began spinning wildly.

She poured her Soul Power into them without holding anything back.

"First Soul Skill!"

Xu Xiaoyan closed her eyes and shouted with all her strength to bolster her courage.

"Star Wheel Chain!"

Black lightning crawled up along the Long Spear's blade, giving off a piercing hiss.

The muscles in Lu Guan's left arm suddenly bulged. His dark-red demonic markings erupted with dazzling crimson light, forcibly shattering the black lightning.

Yu Chenxiao was now nothing but a madman.

His Fourth Soul Skill, Body-Burning Tyrant Thunder, had stripped him of all sensation of pain.

Or rather, no other pain could compare to the agony of tyrant thunder burning his body.

Clang!

The bronze Shu slammed into Yu Chenxiao's left shoulder. The sound of shattering bone rang out with startling clarity amid the thunder.

Yu Chenxiao did not even furrow his brow. Using the force of the blow, he twisted his body at an unnatural angle, his right claw surging with savage black lightning as it shot straight for Lu Guan's throat.

The black lightning tore at the air, twisting and warping it.

All four of Lu Guan's eyes locked onto that dragon claw.

His empty sixth hand, which had been holding a fist seal for some time, crashed forward.

The dark-red fist projection collided with the black dragon claw.

The entire platform shuddered violently, and the savage blast of air tore a massive gap through the surrounding Battle Mist.

At the very instant that gap opened in the Battle Mist.

A gleam of gold lit up diagonally behind him.

Without warning, a dark-golden ray pierced the dense Battle Mist.

Its speed was blistering.

It wrapped directly around Yu Chenxiao's ankle, which was covered in thick scales.

Yu Chenxiao initially paid it no mind.

With the Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring's body-burning tyrant thunder state active, ordinary Soul Skills would be shredded instantly by the rampaging lightning.

Except his opponent was Xu Xiaoyan.

Control that took hold without fail!

Yu Chenxiao was pinned in place!

"Brother Lu Guan! I caught him!"

Xu Xiaoyan shouted at the top of her lungs.

Beautifully done.

Four of Lu Guan's arms exerted their strength at once, sending the Ge, Shu, Ji, and Yi-four long weapons-hurtling into the attack!

Strike while you're weak, take your life!

At that hair's-breadth moment.

"Captain, watch out!"

A furious shout exploded from the side.

Lin Kong braced his enormous Jade Shield and threw himself in front of Yu Chenxiao.

All three Soul Rings on his body burst with dazzling light as he pushed his defense to its limit.

Bang-crack!

Lu Guan's four weapons smashed into the Jade Shield without restraint.

Caught in the panic, Lin Kong had no time to unleash the Jade Shield's full power. He could not stop them!

An instant later, the Jade Shield shattered with a crash!

The tremendous impact poured into Lin Kong without obstruction.

Lin Kong spewed a great mouthful of blood and flew backward like a kite with its string severed, slamming hard into the protective barrier.

He slid to the ground and lost consciousness on the spot.

Lin Kong was eliminated!

At the same time.

Ye Xinglan.

She was like a venomous snake that had lain in wait for ages. This was the moment she had been waiting for-when Lu Guan's old strength was spent and fresh strength had yet to rise!

The Stargod Sword shrieked through the air, thrusting straight at Lu Guan's back, toward his heart.

Sword and wielder as one!

Before the sword energy arrived, its keen edge had already sliced open the clothing on Lu Guan's back.

Although Yu Chenxiao had been driven back, he immediately steadied himself. Letting out an inhuman roar, he transformed into black lightning and charged again.

An attack from front and rear, a killing trap!

In the stands, Shen Yi abruptly rose to his feet, gripping the railing so tightly that his knuckles turned white.

We've won!

As long as this attack lands, that brat will be eliminated on the spot, even with six arms!

This is Shrek-the Shrek that always wins!

But was that truly how things would unfold?

Lu Guan stood where he was, without the slightest panic in any of his four eyes.

The next second.

The dark-red Battle Mist shrouding the entire platform suddenly froze.

Then the mist that had blotted out the sky collapsed inward at a terrifying speed!

In the Stadium packed with a hundred thousand people, everyone watched the churning mist vanish without a trace in an instant.

Where had the mist gone?

The entire audience craned their necks.

At the center of the platform, the demonic markings on Lu Guan's six arms glowed so red they bordered on purple.

All that sky-filling Battle Mist had gathered within the Five Weapons!

Ge, Shu, Ji, Qiu, Yi.

After devouring the Battle Mist, the five ancient-looking weapons erupted with blood-red radiance that made everyone's scalp prickle.

Weapon-killing aura surged into the heavens!

The sixth form of the War Lord Heart Method-

[Five Weapons: Profound Calamity!]

Five Weapons swept the wilds as Profound Calamity rose; one roar of weapon-killing aura shook the firmament!

Boom!

A dark-red energy storm with the power to destroy heaven and earth exploded outward in every direction, with Lu Guan at its center.

Without Lin Kong to defend them, the rest of Shrek were nothing but little glass cannons to Lu Guan beneath Profound Calamity!

Ye Xinglan was the first to bear its brunt.

The unity of sword and wielder that Ye Xinglan took such pride in crumbled like earth and shattered like tiles the instant it made contact!

The Stargod Sword Martial Soul in her hand let out a mournful cry, and a crack visible to the naked eye split across its blade!

Her Martial Soul was damaged!

She spat out a mouthful of blood. The Stargod Sword fell from her hand, and her body slid limply to the ground as she passed out.

Yu Chenxiao, who faced it head-on, suffered an even worse fate.

His thunder dharma king body was torn to shreds in an instant before [Five Weapons: Profound Calamity].

Crack!

The sound of breaking bones was clearly audible.

One strike broke the deadlock!

Ning Susu and Xu Lizhi stopped what they were doing and stared blankly at the deep crater.

...Taken down instantly?

Their captain had been taken down instantly?

Shrek had lost?

With that single strike complete.

Lu Guan turned his head toward Xu Xiaoyan, who was hiding behind him.

Frightened by the tremendous commotion, Xu Xiaoyan had hastily ducked her head back. Two seconds later, she timidly peeked out again and flashed Lu Guan a V sign.

Yay!

Lu Guan smiled.

Victory was already assured!
