Xiao Wu Appeared
Upon hearing Tang San's words, Yue Guan, who was already consumed by rage, could no longer suppress his desire for revenge. His Soul Power surged wildly, and he charged forward, catching the three who had agreed on their plan off guard.
"Tang San!!! You actually dare to mention Old Ghost in front of me? In that case, you can prepare to go down below and join him!"
Seeing that Yue Guan was already furious and charging towards Tang San, Hu Liena and Ling Yuan could only exchange a helpless glance and fly out according to their previously agreed plan.
"Get out of my way! Without Martial Soul Fusion Skill, who gave you the audacity to come looking for me?"
Just as Ma Hongjun was about to rush towards Ling Yuan, he discovered that Hu Liena had approached him first. This made him feel slighted. He considered himself to be at the level of Titled Douluo, while Hu Liena, a mere Soul Douluo, dared to provoke him. This made him feel humiliated.
"Bang!"
But Hu Liena immediately dashed his naive hopes. With extreme speed, Hu Liena transformed into a pink Phantom and arrived beside Ma Hongjun in the blink of an eye. With a flick of her fox tail, the enormous impact sent Ma Hongjun flying and crashing to the ground.
"Fatty!"
Dai Mubai was also somewhat surprised. Originally, he thought the same as Ma Hongjun, completely disregarding Hu Liena, whom he considered a mere pretty face. In his memory, apart from her Martial Soul Fusion Skill with Xie Yue, this woman's own combat strength should have been very weak. However, the fact that she had knocked Ma Hongjun away with this attack caught him off guard. Although Hu Liena had the advantage of her Martial Soul Avatar and attacked first, this result was indeed quite unexpected.
Just as he was about to fly over to help, a wave of heat immediately enveloped him. "White Tiger Vajra Transformation!" Fortunately, his reaction was indeed quick. He immediately used his defensive Soul Skill to withstand the attack and looked at the Ling Yuan Douluo was already pouncing towards him.
Eighth Soul Skill: Heavenly Fox Bright Mirror!
Hu Liena waved her hand, and the pink mirror that had just appeared to block Tang San's giant axe attack reappeared out of thin air. A ripple spread across the mirror's surface, and a giant Soul Skill appeared, exactly the same as the Tang San had released, except that it was now pink. It swiftly slashed towards the spot where Ma Hongjun had fallen.
Eighth Soul Skill: Boiling Blood!
Taking advantage of Dai Mubai's defensive gap, Ling Yuan Douluo directly unleashed her Eighth Soul Skill. Originally, the three of them planned for Ling Yuan Douluo to hold off Tang San, the strongest fighter, while Yue Guan and Hu Liena would quickly kill Dai Mubai and the others. However, Hu Liena overlooked the death of Ghost Douluo. Tang San's Yue Guan alone ignited Yue Guan's anger, leaving her to face Ma Hongjun, whose flame quality completely countered Ling Yuan's, while Ling Yuan faced Dai Mubai.
"Divine Slaughter's Domain activated!"
Hu Liena could also sense Ma Hongjun's Soul Power fluctuations. She knew that the attack hadn't killed him in one strike. Although her plan was completely disrupted, it was still alright. With that thought, she activated her Divine Slaughter's Domain and charged towards Ma Hongjun in the smoke.
"Boom!"
The towering flames blocked Hu Liena's downward charge. Fortunately, she activated the Divine Slaughter's Domain, which mitigated some of the flames' power. To be honest, in terms of the power of the Light Wheel Flame, this lewd fat man's flames are definitely the strongest in quality besides Huo Wu's. This is why he didn't let the Titled Douluo Ling Yuan Douluo fight against him.
"Rage!"
The enormous Fire Phoenix soaring into the sky caused the surrounding temperature to surge dramatically, especially within ten meters of Ma Hongjun, where the air itself distorted. This caused Hu Liena to frown; she hadn't seized the opportunity to kill him before he unleashed his Martial Soul Avatar, and now the situation was dire...
"Phoenix Meteor Shower!"
After unleashing his Phoenix True Body, Ma Hongjun waved his hand at Hu Liena, and countless flames attacked her. Hu Liena didn't dodge at all; she waved her hand again, and a pink mirror appeared, swallowing all the fireballs into it.
Then the mirror rotated, and an identical fireball reappeared in the mirror, flying towards Ma Hongjun.
The battle became deadlocked for a while. Most of Ma Hongjun's attacks failed to hit the agile Hu Liena, and his wide-range attacks were always blocked by that hateful pink mirror. Dai Mubai was only able to barely withstand Ling Yuan Douluo's attacks by relying on the advantage of his Martial Soul quality and his own strong defense.
"Bang! Boom!"
Just as the battle reached a stalemate, a figure shimmering with golden light suddenly streaked backward like a shooting star, crashing heavily into the city wall. Hu Liena and the other woman looked closely and saw that it was Yue Guan. At this moment, most of Yue Guan's metal armor was damaged. He struggled to emerge from the wall embedded in his body, wiping away the blood that had spilled from the corner of his mouth. His somewhat bewitching eyes were fixed on Tang San in the air.
He hadn't expected that Tang San's strength would have increased so much in such a short time. If he was able to kill Old Ghost in the Star Dou Great Forest last time, it was because the attribute of his divine weapon just happened to be a counter to it. But now, after only a short fight, Tang San had defeated him head-on. This was something that Yue Guan, who was determined to take revenge, found hard to accept.
"Elder Ju, Yue Guan!"
Distracted, Hu Liena and her companion looked at the pitiful Yue Guan, a sight they found hard to accept. They hadn't expected Tang San to be so strong; their strongest member Yue Guan, couldn't hold him off for long. Taking advantage of Hu Liena's distraction, a pink figure suddenly appeared. "Waist Bow!" Xiao Wu, who had been hiding in the shadows, finally found her chance. Using her Nothingness Soul Skill, she silently approached the distracted Hu Liena and sent her flying, embedding herself in the city wall.
"Cough cough..."
She was careless; she hadn't even noticed the agility-type Soul Master in Tang San's group. The already precarious situation had worsened when she was ambushed...
Sixth Soul Skill: Kite Sparrow Scorching Shadow!
Seeing this, Ling Yuan Douluo had no choice but to unleash a burst of flames to force Dai Mubai away, then transformed into a sky full of Fire Sparrow, hovering in front of Hu Liena and the other two to prevent them from attacking again.
"Ahem... Holy Maiden Majesty..."
He clutched his chest again and coughed up another mouthful of blood uncontrollably. Yue Guan had finally grasped the current situation. Even if he went all out, he couldn't kill Tang San. Now, if he wanted to avenge Old Ghost and hold off the army of the Spirit Hall Empire, there was only one way.
"I'll do everything in my power to stop Tang San and the others. While we're at it, let Ling Yuan take you away. We... can't hold them off any longer."
"Boom!"
After saying this, Yue Guan waved his hand to stop Hu Liena from saying anything more, and then suddenly his whole body erupted with a burst of red Soul Power that shot straight into the sky.
"What's going on with this effeminate guy? How did his Soul Power suddenly increase so much..."
Faced with Yue Guan's sudden outburst, Ma Hongjun and the others were somewhat surprised. "He used some special secret technique that burned his life force, which allowed his strength to temporarily achieve a qualitative leap."
Thump!
With speed almost like Teleportation, Yue Guan flew out and threw a punch at Tang San. Tang San's reaction was also very fast, and his own punch collided with Yue Guan's. The power of their punches, even just the aftershocks, caused Ma Hongjun and the other two to stagger back several steps.
