The Sand Soldiers' presence surged in an instant, their heavy armor and sharp spears displaying their might! Azir, the Emperor of the Sands who had summoned them, also completed his ascension, the sun's power flowing through his body. Standing in the Soul Fighting Arena were now four Desert Soldiers with level-38 cultivation and an Emperor of the Sands whose overall combat strength had reached that of a high-level Soul Ancestor!
The four Desert Soldiers stood guard behind the Blue Silver Grass, their powerful presence shocking the Imperial Fighting Team. None of the Imperial Fighting Team's members were fools. They all understood that their immediate priority was to break through the defensive line of Blue Silver Grass and soldiers to support Yu Tianheng. But understanding it did not mean they could do it. The strength of those four Desert Soldiers alone could not be underestimated.
"No time to worry about all that! Go!"
Burning with anxiety, Dugu Yan lost some of her reason, and the Imperial Fighting Team attacked almost simultaneously with the Shrek Seven Devils! Their targets, however, were different. The Imperial Fighting Team first had to deal with the Desert Soldiers blocking their path, while the Shrek Seven Devils...
"Kid, you're pretty full of yourself!"
Holding a large shovel, Shangguan Hong hid behind Tang San with an arrogant look on his face. In truth, he rather admired Yu Tianheng's composure. Clearly surrounded, he could still smile. What, did he think that being a level-39 Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Soul Elder meant he could ignore the combined assault of a seven-man Soul Master squad?
"Attack! Eliminate him!"
At Tang San's command, he took the lead in lashing out with Blue Silver Grass! Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing followed right behind with a pincer attack, and Dai Mubai, who had recovered somewhat, quickly joined the battle. Yet none of them amounted to much in Yu Tianheng's eyes. What truly made the young master of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan wary was Azir, who approached him step by step, moving slowly but exerting immense pressure!
"You're courting death! Second Soul Skill, Thunderous Might! Third Soul Skill, Thunderclap Fury!"
Facing an assault from several people, Yu Tianheng dared not let his guard down in the slightest. His second and third Soul Rings lit up together beneath his feet, and two powerful enhancement Soul Skills took effect on his body. In the blink of an eye, the presence emanating from this level-39 power attack system Beast Soul Elder soared, perhaps enough to rival an ordinary level-45 Soul Ancestor! Amid that raging lightning, Yu Tianheng's First Soul Skill also became incredibly powerful. Lingering arcs charred the Blue Silver Grass, and his fearsome dragon claw mercilessly raked down at Xiao Wu as she teleported into reach!
The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon's might truly was extraordinary. Xiao Wu's pupils contracted, the power contained in that lightning dragon claw making her extremely wary. The good news, however, was that Xiao Wu's Third Soul Skill was called Teleportation. She had absolutely no reason to clash head-on with Yu Tianheng.
The Soft Bone Rabbit moved with fluid grace, appearing behind Yu Tianheng in the blink of an eye! Then her right leg lashed out like the taut limb of a bow, carrying strength that could not be underestimated. Yu Tianheng had charged a little too fiercely. The kick struck him and sent him stumbling, but before he could react, Zhu Zhuqing's Netherworld White Claw and Dai Mubai's heavy fist were already upon him!
"Weren't you so arrogant? Keep it up!"
Dai Mubai seemed intent on venting all the fury in his heart. With White Tiger Vajra Transformation active, his strength was immense. Although it fell short of Yu Tianheng's, that sudden heavy punch still made the young master of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan suffer.
A heavy punch landed in Yu Tianheng's abdomen, instantly bending him into the shape of a shrimp. His eyes bulged slightly, and he cut a truly sorry figure.
"Damn it!"
Yu Tianheng let out a furious roar, but what greeted him was the descending scepter of Azir, the Emperor of the Sands! This attack was even somewhat stronger than Dai Mubai's had been! Yu Tianheng's pupils abruptly contracted. In his panic, he could only raise his arm across himself to block, but the force of the blow exceeded his imagination. It actually drove the proudly standing Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon straight down onto one knee. Yu Tianheng's knee shattered the floor of the Soul Fighting Arena. No one had expected the Imperial Fighting Team's captain to be reduced to such a sorry state in just a few exchanges.
"Tian Heng!"
Held outside the encirclement, Dugu Yan and the others watched anxiously. They wanted to support Yu Tianheng, but they could not break through the Desert Soldiers' defensive line at all. Those four soldiers posed a considerable threat to them, with astonishing attack and defense alike. Moreover, the soldiers seemed to have become more agile, possessing strength that matched their Soul Power fluctuations. These were four level-38 Soul Elders, and they fought without fear of death.
"This is bad! Tian Heng was still too impulsive!"
Inside the private room, Qin Ming's expression shifted slightly. Their Imperial Fighting Team had devised many tactics, most of them aimed at Shangguan Hong. Yet the fact before them was that, despite having already taken Shangguan Hong seriously enough, they had still underestimated his strength! Holding off an entire Soul Elder-level team single-handedly-just what kind of monster was he?
Is this the kind of student my teachers have trained? Truly astonishing!
Qin Ming marveled. In his mind, only those teachers of his could train such an outstanding student. As expected of someone from Shrek, he could not be measured by common sense.
"Still, as the current young master of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, how could Tian Heng be defeated so easily? My dear juniors, you've underestimated the world's number-one Beast Martial Soul far too much!"
Qin Ming spoke inscrutably, and at that moment, the battle in the Soul Fighting Arena underwent another earth-shaking change!
"To think you bastards forced me into such a sorry state... bastards, bastards!"
The proud Yu Tianheng would never allow anyone to insult the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan! And at that very moment, in his eyes, being driven to such a state by these people from Shrek Academy with their mediocre Martial Souls was a shame and humiliation beyond measure!
Thus, Yu Tianheng used Dragon Transformation without regard for the consequences! The move was alarming, and Qin Ming in the private room suddenly realized something was wrong. Yu Tianheng had taken this Dragon Transformation a little too far. With his current cultivation, transforming a single hand was already his limit, yet this fellow had actually transformed an entire arm. He was disregarding his own life, intent on fighting the Shrek Seven Devils to the death!
"Dragon Transformation? An ability Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Soul Masters can only barely master at level 40, and this kid actually grasped it as a Soul Elder?"
Flender's brows knitted tightly. Dragon Transformation was one of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon's trump-card secret arts, and also the reason it could firmly occupy the throne of the world's number-one Beast Martial Soul! In his transformed state, Yu Tianheng's strength would increase tremendously. Although the consumption was staggering, with Shrek's members surrounding and attacking him now, Dragon Transformation was the best solution!
Sure enough, after Yu Tianheng unleashed Dragon Transformation, the situation changed for Shrek's members. Raging lightning forcibly drove both Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing back. Even Tang San's Blue Silver Grass could no longer threaten Yu Tianheng. Only Shangguan Hong's Azir could still exchange a few blows with him.
And just then, the Imperial Fighting Team's members took down one Desert Soldier. With the Shi Brothers holding the remaining three soldiers in check, the others broke through the obstruction of Blue Silver Grass and forced their way over!
