As his words fell, the Soul Power across the entire arena and for dozens of yards around it turned white. Countless soul swords rose from the ground, surrounding all of Shrek.
Tang San's expression changed drastically. "Xiao Ao!"
"Got it, Extreme Speed Flying Mushroom Sausage!"
Dai Mubai shouted, "Zhu Zhuqing, Martial Soul Fusion Skill!"
"All right!"
Xiao Wu had been captured. As her close friend and sister, how could Zhu Zhuqing not worry?
"Hell White Tiger!"
In less than a breath, the six remaining members of Shrek all flew into the sky.
Lin Chen sneered and gently clenched his hand. "Release!"
Hum, hum, hum...
Countless soul swords rose from the ground and shot toward the group in the sky.
"Fourth Soul Skill, Phoenix Roaring Sky Strike!"
"Hell White Tiger Break!"
"Clear Sky Hammer!"
Bang, bang, bang! Thud...
Although Tang San, Ma Hongjun, and the Hell White Tiger could barely withstand Lin Chen's fourth Soul Skill, Oscar and Ning Rongrong had no way to resist it at all.
In less than three breaths, they were shot down. Oscar was severely injured, but Ning Rongrong was unharmed.
"Ah..." Ning Rongrong fell onto the arena, still surrounded by Lin Chen's fourth Soul Skill, Sword Domain. She was extremely puzzled. Lin Chen had clearly been able to severely injure her just now, but he seemed to have shown her a little mercy.
For Lin Chen, victory or defeat in a minor competition was no longer what he sought. His goal was to help Bibi Dong unite the entire Douluo Continent!
If the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect submitted to Spirit Hall, it would be a great help to his Pope wife.
"Xiao Ao!"
Hum, hum, hum...
Ning Rongrong had just tried to get up when the surrounding soul swords closed in on her, trapping her inside a small circle.
If she knew what was good for her, she would be safe; if she didn't, there was no telling what injuries she might suffer.
On the viewing platform
When Sword Douluo saw that his little princess had been restrained, he immediately stood up. "Fengzhi, the outcome of the battle is already clear. We can let Rongrong leave the match first!"
Ning Fengzhi frowned deeply. "Rongrong represents Shrek right now. We don't have the final say in this."
Sword Douluo said urgently, "Then go discuss it with Shrek! It's not as though you don't know the little princess's temper. What if he angers Lin Chen and gets hurt?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Ning Fengzhi quickly rose. "I'll go find Flender!"
At Shrek's camp
Ning Fengzhi said calmly, "Dean Flender, Grandmaster, Rongrong has already been restrained. Let her leave the match first."
Before Flender could speak, Yu Xiaogang said bluntly, "No. Rongrong is Shrek's most important support soul master. If she leaves, Shrek won't have any hope left!"
Ning Fengzhi frowned and fell silent.
The sect master said nothing, but Sword Douluo behind him was not so courteous. "Grandmaster Yu, was it? Never mind that your Shrek has no hope of winning. Even if you did, you'd have no right to gamble with Rongrong's life and safety. Rongrong has already been restrained. If she moves again, she'll be in danger. Do you have any regard for the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's little princess at all?!"
The implication was, did they have any regard for the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect at all?
Seeing that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect was angry, Yu Xiaogang hurriedly said, "How about this? We won't have Rongrong leave the match yet, but we won't let her interfere in it again either. What do you think?"
"Uh..." Flender beamed. "Senior Chen Xin, rest assured, we absolutely won't let Rongrong come to any further harm. As soon as anything goes wrong, we'll concede."
A trace of displeasure flashed in Ning Fengzhi's eyes. "I hope this matter won't affect the relationship between us."
Flender hurriedly said, "Of course! Of course!"
With that, the two turned and left.
Back at their seats, Sword Douluo's expression was cold as he said in a low voice, "This Yu Xiaogang is quite underhanded. They saw that Spirit Hall wants to win us over, so they're using Rongrong to tie up Lin Chen's attention."
Spirit Hall had already tried several times to win over the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan. Everyone knew about it.
Ning Fengzhi said expressionlessly, "After this battle, I'll have Rongrong leave Shrek."
The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect had too many ties to the Heaven Dou Empire and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon, while Shrek was an advanced academy in Heaven Dou City. If they openly fell out with Shrek, it could very well affect their relationships with those two great powers...
