If Yu Tianba isn't caught, he will fly out of the arena and lose his chance to compete.
Catching Yu Tianba, who is as powerful as a cannonball, requires a certain level of skill and strength. If Yu Feng and Osler dared to make a move, they would probably fly out of the arena along with Yu Tianba.
In the critical moment, the Shi Brothers of the Imperial Fighting Team stepped forward. As Defense System Soul Master, they were the only ones who could possibly withstand Yu Tianba's attack.
Even if they could catch it, neither of them dared to use the tortoise shell to catch it directly, otherwise Yu Tianba would probably be smashed into mincemeat.
Therefore, the two adopted the most stable method, directly inserting their tortoise shells into the ground for support, in order to ensure that they could withstand Yu Tianba's impact.
Then the two used their Soul Power to protect their entire bodies, joined forces to unleash their Soul Skill, and were fully prepared to meet Yu Tianba's attack.
The moment the Shi Brothers received Yu Tianba, their expressions changed drastically. They hadn't expected Yu Tianba to possess such immense power, which even they, as two Defense System Soul Master, couldn't withstand.
The tortoise shell they were using as support immediately flew off, and the two of them, along with Yu Tianba, slid backwards for quite a distance, almost falling off the edge, before Yu Tianba's impact finally stopped.
Having successfully caught Yu Tianba, the Shi Brothers exchanged a worried glance. With such a powerful impact, wouldn't Yu Tianba be killed instantly?
Fortunately, their worries were unnecessary. Yu Tianba was physically robust and managed to cough up a mouthful of blood, indicating that he was still alive.
" Tianba is still alive! Quick, Lingling, heal him! Shi Brothers, Yu Feng, Osler, you guys hold him off!" Seeing that Yu Tianba was still alive, Dugu Yan immediately directed the others to set up a defense, buying Yu Tianba time to be healed.
As the successor of the Nine Heart Begonia, as long as Yu Tianba has a breath left, Ye Lingling can heal him and bring him back into the battle. This is the power of their Martial Soul.
Upon hearing this, the other four immediately formed a defensive formation. The Shi Brothers retrieved their tortoise shells, placed them in front of them, and hid themselves behind the shells – this was their strongest defensive posture.
Meanwhile, Yu Feng used his flying advantage to hover in the air and constantly harass Qi Ling, occasionally swooping down from the sky. If he could successfully attack her, all the better; even if he couldn't, he could still create disruption.
As for Ghost Leopard Osler, although he is also Agility Attack System Soul Master, he dares not harass Qi Ling head-on. Yu Tianba's fate is still fresh in his mind, and he does not want to follow in Yu Tianba's footsteps.
Facing the four's defenses, Qi Ling smiled disdainfully. He casually pulled out a rope and said, "You birdman, you think you're so great just because you can fly?"
As she spoke, Qi Ling threw the rope in her hand towards Yu Feng. After the rope left Qi Ling's hand, it seemed to come alive and automatically wrapped around Yu Feng, binding him tightly.
"What... what is this?" Yu Feng, whose wings were also tied up, fell directly from the sky, looking at the ropes binding him with a horrified expression and asking.
"Never seen one before, have you? Take a look, this is called the Immortal-Binding Rope." Qi Ling walked up to Yu Feng and said, "It's a pity to use it to bind a bird like you."
With that, Qi Ling kicked Yu Feng, knocking him unconscious. Given Qi Ling's strength and control, he wouldn't be able to wake up until the battle was over.
Having dealt with the Yu Feng, Qi Ling then looked at Osler. Osler immediately felt a chill run down his spine and sped up, shouting, "Damn it! Don't think I'll be so careless as to let you catch me!"
Osler is indeed very fast, and his Martial Soul is one of the top-tier Agility Attack System Martial Soul. But unfortunately, Qi Ling is even faster!
" Three Thousand Lightning Movement: Lightning Instant!"
Qi Ling's body seemed to transform into a bolt of lightning, vanishing from its original spot and reappearing in front of Osler.
When Osler suddenly saw Qi Ling appear, his mind went blank with surprise. He couldn't understand why Qi Ling possessed such terrifying power and speed at the same time.
Is this reasonable? No, it's not!
But no matter what Osler thought, he couldn't change the fact that Qi Ling had caught up with him. Then Qi Ling reached out, pressed down on his head, and slammed it directly to the ground.
With a loud "bang!", Osler's body came to a stop. His head smashed through the hard floor and was buried in the soil. His life or death was unknown, and he remained motionless.
"After dealing with them, it's your turn." Qi Ling didn't linger and walked directly towards the Shi Brothers, saying this.
Although the Shi Brothers were also anxious about their teammate being eliminated, speed was unfortunately their weakness.
All they could do was raise their tortoise shells, firmly protecting Yu Tianba behind them, and wait for Qi Ling to attack.
Qi Ling looked at the two who were defending with all their might, but she didn't intend to use her speed to get past them. Since they were so confident in their defense, she would naturally defeat them in their most confident area to make it satisfying.
" Defense System Soul Master? The top-tier Defense System Martial Soul? Very good, this is exactly the kind of Soul Master I like best." Qi Ling approached the Shi Brothers and laughed, but to everyone in the Imperial Fighting Team, Qi Ling's smile was more terrifying than anything else.
While Defense System Soul Master possess formidable defensive capabilities, for Qi Ling, there was no better opponent.
" Tyrant Dragon Fist: Twin Dragons Meet!"
Two equally terrifying Soul Power attached themselves to Qi Ling's hands, and then he threw two punches, each aimed at the Shi Brothers ' tortoise shells.
With a crisp sound, the Shi Brothers ' tortoise shells cracked, and both of them coughed up blood and fell backward.
"I can smash even the Soul King's tortoise shell, let alone yours." Qi Ling said, walking past the two with her hands behind her back, but did not attack them again.
Dugu Yan watched as Qi Ling casually defeated the members of the Imperial Fighting Team one by one. Meanwhile, Ye Lingling was still treating Yu Tianba.
"Stop! You're not allowed to come any closer!" Dugu Yan stepped forward helplessly. It wasn't that Yu Tianba was so important to her, but rather that Yu Tianba was their only hope for victory.
"Get out of my way, or die," Qi Ling said Lingling.
"Hmph, do you think I'll obediently step aside like this? You underestimate me!" Dugu Yan said, preparing to spew out the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Poison from her jade-like mouth once more.
Previously, only her own Jade Phosphorous Serpent Poison posed a threat to Qi Ling, so Dugu Yan was confident that she could hold off Qi Ling for a while until Yu Tianba recovered.
Unfortunately, while the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Poison is indeed one of the most potent poisons, even Qi Ling had to temporarily avoid its power, but even the most potent toxin must be released to be effective.
