Xu Zhengyang and Ma Xiaotao quickly became embroiled in a chaotic battle. Xu Zhengyang, wielding his spear, displayed overwhelming momentum and showed no fear of death. Ma Xiaotao, as a top-tier Soul Emperor, also displayed terrifying combat power.
In just a few minutes, the two exchanged blows countless times. Ma Xiaotao had a slight advantage over Xu Zhengyang, but she was unable to inflict any real damage on Xu Zhengyang. The intensity of the battle far exceeded everyone's expectations.
Even the audience was stunned. It was unbelievable that a Soul Ancestor could fight Soul Emperor to this extent with his strength.
It's important to understand that before reaching the Soul Sage, under normal circumstances, among Battle Soul Master of the same level, Beast Martial Soul Master are stronger than Tool Martial Soul Master. This is because after a Beast Martial Soul Possession to a body, it can significantly enhance the body's strength, and the body will also possess certain characteristics of the Beast Martial Soul.
Take Ma Xiaotao for example. After being possessed by the Fire Phoenix Martial Soul, she not only had black flames on her body, but her physical attributes also improved significantly, and even her recovery speed from injuries increased dramatically. The Fire Phoenix is the most powerful Beast Martial Soul in history, even stronger than the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon.
But Xu Zhengyang at this moment seemed completely different from before. The blood in his entire body began to boil, as if every drop of blood was burning. Not only was his momentum overwhelming, but his physical recovery also improved significantly. He was in a state where he became stronger when faced with a stronger opponent. This was the true embodiment of ultimate strength, ultimate yang, and ultimate ferocity.
At this moment, Ma Xiaotao became a little anxious. She originally wanted to easily defeat Xu Zhengyang and conserve her Soul Power to continue fighting the others. In her eyes, Soul King- level Soul Engineer had no power to restrain her at all. Moreover, she had been fighting Ma Rulong for so long and had exhausted herself. If she continued to exhaust herself, the Shrek Team would have no chance of winning in a one-on-one match.
Ma Xiaotao's First Soul Ring flashed, and a terrifying black flame spewed from her mouth. This was her First Soul Skill, Phoenix Fire Line. In addition to its extremely strong attack power, Ma Xiaotao's Phoenix Fire Line also had an extremely high temperature and even terrifying dark energy. The entire space seemed to be scorched in an instant, and Xu Zhengyang even felt that his Soul Power was being subtly affected.
But Xu Zhengyang was not afraid at all. His eyes were filled with determination. He put all his strength into the Tiger-Head Zhan Gold Spear. The entire Tiger-Head Zhan Gold Spear instantly became like a huge tiger. At the same time, a powerful Spear Intent burst out. Even the scorching air was torn apart in that instant. It was his Self-Created Soul Skill: Tiger Roars in the Mountains and Forests. Especially under this desperate situation, the power of Tiger Roars in the Mountains and Forests seemed to become even stronger.
With both sides unleashing their full power, the black Phoenix Fire Line collided with the tip of the Tiger-Head Zhan Gold Spear. The entire Phoenix Fire Line was as if it had been struck by a heavy blow, and a path was forcibly pierced open, allowing the huge tiger to charge straight at Ma Xiaotao.
Even though Ma Xiaotao was incredibly strong, she was still very surprised. She hadn't expected that the Phoenix Fire Line would be directly pierced by the opponent. But at that moment, Ma Xiaotao let out a strange laugh, and her face even twisted unnaturally.
"Little brat, you actually dare to face my Phoenix Fire Line? Then I'll show you my true strength."
Ma Xiaotao's Soul Power flickered, and the Black Phoenix emitted endless flames, as if the entire arena was instantly ignited. The Phoenix Fire Line instantly became more intense, and even Xu Zhengyang was surrounded by flames.
But Xu Zhengyang was not afraid at all. With all his might, he thrust his spear straight at Ma Xiaotao's face, the spear filled with boundless power.
However, Ma Xiaotao was no pushover. Her hands instantly transformed, becoming like the sharp claws of Fire Phoenix, forcefully grabbing at Xu Zhengyang's Tiger-Head Zhan Gold Spear, and even reaching for Xu Zhengyang himself.
With both sides unleashing their full power, Xu Zhengyang was once again sent flying five meters, but Ma Xiaotao fared no better, retreating three meters this time. This was the first time Ma Xiaotao Xu Zhengyang been forced back by Ma Xiaotao Xu Zhengyang in all the time they had been fighting.
At this moment, Ma Xiaotao seemed even more determined to fight, and she even couldn't help but purse her lips.
"Interesting. The Sun Moon Team actually produced someone like you. It's a pity you've run into me. I'll show you what the Flame Maniac Ma Xiaotao is all about, and let you witness my true power."
At this moment, Ma Xiaotao had completely stopped thinking about the future competition. She seemed to have become even more frenzied, the black flames were even hotter, and even the black aura was becoming more and more intense.
Everyone in the entire Soul Fighting Arena was cheering, seemingly witnessing the brutal, hand-to-hand combat between the Soul Ancestor and the Soul Emperor, witnessing this clash after another.
In contrast, Zhou Yi and Wang Yan, the leaders of the Shrek Team, became increasingly serious. At this moment, Ma Xiaotao was no longer engaged in ordinary combat; she seemed to be in a completely reckless state, especially as the black flames intensified, and the madness in her eyes grew stronger.
Ma Xiaotao's second and Third Soul Ring flashed simultaneously, and her entire body seemed to be engulfed in black flames. Ma Xiaotao's Black Phoenix Fire attribute was greatly enhanced once again, and a pair of black wings appeared on her back, even greatly increasing her attack range.
These are Ma Xiaotao's Second Soul Skill, Phoenix Baptism, and her Third Soul Skill, Phoenix Wings Soaring. After using both Soul Skill at the same time, Ma Xiaotao is like a god high above, looking down at Xu Zhengyang from the sky, her eyes appearing extremely cold.
" Xu Zhengyang, although your strength is not bad, you are nothing but an ant in my eyes. No matter how tenacious you are, you are still just a Soul Ancestor. I am the strongest Soul Emperor in Shrek in a thousand years."
Ma Xiaotao transformed into a giant Black Phoenix and descended from the sky. Like the end of the world, the entire arena was crushed, the ground began to crack inch by inch, and terrifying heat emanated from it, making even those outside the arena feel extremely uncomfortable.
Xu Zhengyang only felt a flash of black fire in the sky, and Ma Xiaotao fell to the ground like a meteor, as if the surrounding air had been evaporated.
Even the members of the Sun Moon Team looked worried. Ma Xiaotao was too strong, even stronger than Ma Rulong. The reason Ma Rulong was able to fight Ma Xiaotao for so long was because Ma Xiaotao had been holding back from beginning to end, wanting to conserve her strength for the next match.
At this moment, Xu Zhengyang felt a fatal threat, as if he were in a desperate situation, as if he were facing certain death.
Even so, Xu Zhengyang had no intention of surrendering. On the contrary, his fighting spirit became even stronger. Neither the spear in his hand nor the struggles of his life allowed him to retreat or admit defeat. Only a true strongman can fight against the enemy time and time again and surpass his own limits.
Xu Zhengyang seemed to have entered a special state, with all his Soul Power and killing intent concentrated on the Tiger-Head Zhan Gold Spear, like an indomitable warrior, like a lone hero.
Xu Zhengyang roared and thrust his Tiger-Head Zhan Gold Spear forward with a fierce thrust. This strike was earth-shattering and full of fearlessness, like a tiger unleashed from its cage or a dragon emerging from the sea. His body, soul, and even mental strength had reached their peak at this moment. It seemed that all his thoughts were poured into this one strike.
"Destroy Cities and Shake Mountains "—this is the spear technique that Xu Zhengyang comprehended during his enlightenment. It represents the ultimate killing intent, the ultimate iron will, and an unwavering determination to move forward without ever retreating.
Under this Destroy Cities and Shake Mountains, the Tiger-Head Zhan Gold Spear revealed its most essential power and its most unadorned side, showcasing the true nature of the spear and its ultimate killing intent.
In that instant, the surrounding black flames shattered, and even Ma Xiaotao's Soul Emperor's suppressive power vanished without a trace.
Xu Zhengyang's " Destroy Cities and Shake Mountains" move directly broke through the sea of fire, broke through everything, and even broke through Ma Xiaotao's powerful Fire Phoenix defense. It was like a black light colliding with a fiery red light. This was no longer a battle at the Soul Emperor level.
With a loud bang, the two figures quickly separated. Xu Zhengyang knelt on one knee, blood gushing from his mouth, his body covered in charred soot. Even so, Xu Zhengyang smiled, a smile that was unusually resolute and unrestrained.
" Soul Emperor is nothing special."
In contrast, Ma Xiaotao also coughed up a mouthful of blood, and a hideous wound appeared on her shoulder, as well as a wound on the back of her right hand.
Judging from their condition, Ma Xiaotao was more seriously injured, and even her originally powerful aura had diminished.
Everyone then noticed that although a large part of Xu Zhengyang's armor was charred, it still displayed extremely terrifying defensive power, even deflecting some of the force of Ma Xiaotao's attack.
Wang Yan was shocked. " Level 7 Soul Tool Armor, and it's even self-triggered! No wonder Xiaotao's attack couldn't harm him just now."
Wang Yan seemed to realize something and quickly looked at the members of the Sun Moon Team, including Ma Rulong, who had just been defeated. Ma Rulong had recovered somewhat and was standing quietly by the arena watching the battle, seemingly without any worries.
Wang Yan quickly noticed the details. After the decisive battle began, the attire of everyone in the Sun Moon Team underwent subtle changes. Their armor changed; it was now Soul Tool Armor, and all of them were Level 7 Soul Tool Armor.
"How is this possible? The entire Sun Moon Team is equipped with Level 7 Soul Tool Armor, and it can even be activated autonomously. They've really gone all out for this victory."
The Shrek Team members were equally shocked upon hearing this. Level 7 Soul Tool Armor is extremely expensive, especially this kind that triggers automatically. It's even comparable to Dai Yueheng's Level 8 Soul Tool, the Tyrant Tiger Soul Refining Blade. You should know that this kind of automatically triggered Soul Tool Armor is basically the most expensive among Soul Tool of the same level. It can save your life in critical moments, especially in dealing with unexpected situations. Currently, only the Sun Moon Empire can produce this kind of Soul Tool.
Huo Yuhao, standing to the side, looked puzzled. "Teacher Wang, is this Level 7 Soul Tool Armor really that powerful? Why didn't they use it during the team battle earlier?"
Wang Yan remained silent, clearly not knowing much about the Level 7 Soul Tool Armor. It was He Caitou, who was standing to the side, who spoke up.
"They weren't refusing to use their Level 7 Soul Tool Armor just now; we simply didn't force them to. This Level 7 Soul Tool Armor is autonomously triggered. It only unleashes its power and operates on its own when the pressure reaches a certain level. This kind of autonomous triggering device that can control force is something that Shrek simply cannot research; only Illustrious Virtue Hall possesses it."
"According to my estimation, only an impact force at the Soul Emperor or even Soul Sage level can trigger the effect of the Soul Tool Armor. Furthermore, if I'm not mistaken, this Level 7 Soul Tool Armor can even adjust the triggering effect, allowing the user to control the triggering force."
The Shrek team members were speechless. The team battle just now posed no pressure to the Sun Moon Team at all. The only one who was in some danger was Xiao Hongchen. However, whether in the team battle or in his battle against Dai Yueheng, Xiao Hongchen persisted until the very end. He was defeated in his battle against Dai Yueheng only after exhausting his Soul Power. Both sides were seriously injured.
