"First Soul Skill, Death Entanglement!"

Chen Feng ignored Yu Tianheng outright. With a wave of his hand, dark purple branches tore through the air toward all seven members of the Imperial Fighting Team.

Yu Tianheng halted and slammed his dragon claw into the branches hurtling toward him.

Lightning exploded, but the branches only shifted slightly before coiling toward his arm again.

The six behind him came under attack as well.

The Shi Brothers raised their tortoise shells, blocking the incoming branches one after another.

Yu Feng flapped his wings and rose into the air. He had barely dodged one branch when another lashed at him from the side.

Osler hastily darted in front of Ye Lingling, blocking the attack for her.

Dugu Yan released her soul power, shaking off the branches closing in on her, but her expression grew increasingly grave.

The aura of death on these branches made her reluctant to touch them.

"Now that's more like it. It's only interesting if you all come at me together."

Chen Feng laughed, suddenly pushed off the ground, and charged straight at Yu Tianheng.

Yu Tianheng had just shaken off the branches when a figure appeared before him.

Before he could get a clear look, a fist was already at his chest.

He swiftly raised his dragon arm across his body to block the blow, but the impact sent him staggering back several steps.

The pain in his arm made Yu Tianheng's expression change.

How could this Soul Grandmaster be so strong?

Chen Feng gave him no time to think, following up with another punch.

Yu Tianheng barely twisted aside. He had just avoided the fist when a kick struck his abdomen.

He slid backward, his feet leaving two trails across the Soul Fighting platform.

Neither of them had used a soul skill, yet he could not mount even a single effective counterattack.

Yu Tianheng gritted his teeth and viciously clawed at Chen Feng's shoulder.

Chen Feng sidestepped, caught his wrist, and drove his other fist straight into his face.

The dull thud made Yu Feng's eyelids twitch.

Their captain was actually being overwhelmed by a Soul Grandmaster in close combat.

The strength advantage granted by the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Martial Soul had not shown itself in the slightest.

Yu Tianheng staggered backward, searing pain shooting through the bridge of his nose and the taste of blood filling his mouth.

Before he could steady himself, another punch struck his chest.

This time, he flew backward and landed heavily in front of the Shi Brothers.

"Tian Heng, come back!"

Dugu Yan hurried forward and reached out to steady his shoulder.

Yu Tianheng wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and swiftly retreated to the team, his face already swollen.

Continuing to fight alone would only mean taking more punches.

His opponent's speed and strength both far exceeded his estimates.

Ye Lingling held up her Nine Heart Begonia. Gentle light fell over Yu Tianheng, beginning to heal his injuries.

"Third Soul Skill, Jade Phosphor Purple Poison!"

Dugu Yan's gaze turned cold, and her third soul ring suddenly lit up.

A vast cloud of purple poisonous mist surged from her Jade Phosphorous Serpent Martial Soul, rapidly spreading toward the front of the Soul Fighting platform.

Chen Feng stood where he was, watching the poisonous mist drift toward him without even moving his feet.

Dugu Yan snorted inwardly, then activated her other two soul rings.

"First Soul Skill, Jade Phosphorous Red Poison!"

Dugu Yan released red poisonous mist, enveloping her teammates and increasing everyone's attack power and speed.

"Second Soul Skill, Jade Phosphorous Blue Poison!"

Dugu Yan immediately released blue poisonous mist, further strengthening her teammates' defenses.

Yu Tianheng and the others took out Antidote Pills with practiced ease and popped them straight into their mouths.

The purple poisonous mist had already covered most of the Soul Fighting platform.

No matter how fast someone was, an attack covering such a wide area would be difficult to evade.

Once they inhaled the poisonous mist, their body would gradually weaken, affecting their attacks, speed, and reactions.

Their opponent would be poisoned, while they could maintain their fighting strength with the pills.

The Imperial Fighting Team had used this tactic many times.

Aside from their last match in Suotuo City, when Tang San had countered it with Realgar Wine in coordination with his teammates, it rarely failed.

"Attack. Don't give him a chance to catch his breath!"

Lowering his voice, Yu Tianheng took the lead in charging into the purple poisonous mist.

The Shi Brothers followed close behind, while Yu Feng and Osler circled around from either side.

Ye Lingling followed at the rear, ready to heal her teammates at any moment.

But the moment he entered the poisonous mist, Yu Tianheng realized something was wrong.

Chen Feng had already vanished from his original position.

A dull thud came from the side. Osler clutched his abdomen and collapsed to the ground.

Yu Feng was just about to take flight when someone caught his ankle and slammed him back onto the Soul Fighting platform.

Shi Mo raised his tortoise shell, ready to block the approaching figure, but the attack suddenly struck his side.

The other Shi Mo reached out to help, only to be driven back by a punch as well.

Within the purple poisonous mist, afterimages flashed past one after another.

Chen Feng's speed had not been affected in the slightest.

"How is that possible? You still haven't been poisoned?"

Yu Tianheng's eyes widened as he hastily swung his dragon claw.

Chen Feng seized the opening and drove a punch into his abdomen, knocking down the newly recovered Yu Tianheng once again.

Before Ye Lingling could activate her soul skill, a branch wound around her wrist.

Immediately afterward, a shove against her shoulder sent her falling into a sitting position on the ground.

In mere moments, all six apart from Dugu Yan had fallen.

Dugu Yan stood in the center of the poisonous mist, her clenched fingers trembling slightly.

Her jade-green eyes were filled with disbelief.

"Second Soul Skill, Lie Yan Cage!"

Chen Feng raised his right hand, and his second red soul ring suddenly lit up.

Six scarlet branches rapidly rose from the Soul Fighting platform.

The branches crisscrossed, weaving into six cages in the blink of an eye and trapping each of the six fallen opponents inside.

Scorching flames ignited along the branches, forcing even the surrounding purple poisonous mist to disperse.

Yu Tianheng propped himself up. His expression changed again as he looked at the flames right before him.

A tree-type martial soul could actually unleash fire-type soul skills?

"First Soul Skill, Thunder Dragon Claw!"

Yu Tianheng roared, his dragon claw wreathed in lightning as he slammed it into the cage.

The scarlet branches trembled slightly, without so much as a crack appearing.

The Shi Brothers attacked repeatedly, and Yu Feng and Osler did not stop either, but all six cages remained firmly in place.

The flames swayed with the attacks, their scorching heat forcing everyone to retreat.

Looking at her trapped teammates, Dugu Yan finally could not help voicing her doubt.

"Why aren't you affected by the poisonous mist?"

Dugu Yan stared at Chen Feng, her voice already somewhat strained.

"Your poison is too weak."

Chen Feng smiled faintly, dark purple soul power slowly swirling around his fingertips.

His soul power was inherently a gray soul power without any attributes.

This peculiar soul power could accommodate different attributes and also transform into soul power of the corresponding attribute.

After it turned dark purple, the power circulating within his body contained Rakshasa Toxin.

Once the poisonous mist Dugu Yan released entered his body, it could not stir even the slightest ripple.

Those toxins were quickly devoured by the Rakshasa Toxin, instead becoming nourishment that replenished his power.

Of course, Chen Feng had no interest in explaining any of this to her.

Dugu Yan's face was pale, her chest rising and falling faster and faster.

Jade Phosphorous Serpent Poison had always been the ability she took the greatest pride in.

Even when she had lost to Tang San last time, he had relied on Realgar Wine, as well as Dai Mubai's and Ma Hongjun's attacks.

Yet the person before her stood right in the poisonous mist, letting the toxins invade his body.

The third soul skill she had unleashed at full strength could not even slow his movements.

Her teammates were trapped in cages, and she, the only one still free to move, already had no way to win.

Dugu Yan bit her lip, unconsciously taking half a step back.

Chen Feng waved his hand, and a dark purple branch suddenly emerged from the poisonous mist.

By the time Dugu Yan noticed it, the branch had already wound around her waist and rapidly tightened.

Her body abruptly left the ground, and that handsome figure drew closer and closer before her eyes.

Dugu Yan frantically activated her soul power, but she could not break free and was finally pulled in front of Chen Feng.
