The Battle on the Fifteenth Level
However, his act of concealing his appearance had already caused him to lose everyone's trust.
Moreover, this white-haired youth looked to be no more than twenty years old. The way people looked at him gradually took on a different meaning.
"Alright, alright, I'll go to the other side then." The white-haired youth sighed and tried to move to Wang Xingyu and Xiao Wu's side, making it a three-against-twelve situation.
However, Wang Xingyu and Xiao Wu were even more wary.
"Hey, really? I'm not going to be fighting fourteen people at once, am I?" the white-haired youth said bitterly.
"No, we'll cooperate for now," Wang Xingyu said.
After all, every opponent counts; at worst, we can launch a surprise attack later.
I reckon the white-haired young man probably thought the same thing.
"Now that we've reached an agreement," said the burly man who had previously been extremely eager to fight, "Let's begin! Everyone, activate your Martial Soul!"
Holding two enormous round hammers in his hands, five Soul Ring lit up instantly—yellow, yellow, purple, purple, and black—a perfect combination.
And it's not just one person; more than half of them have this configuration.
The white-haired youth's Soul Ring lit up at his feet, displaying yellow, purple, purple, purple, and black colors. A white lion phantom appeared behind him, and this setup immediately attracted a lot of attention.
"Hey, aren't you two going to show off?" The white-haired youth proudly raised his chin at the two of them, guessing that once they saw his setup, they would immediately see him as the leader.
The two exchanged a glance.
The next moment, Soul Ring rose up beneath his feet.
Wang Xingyu, with five Soul Ring— purple, purple, purple, black, and white—saw a small tree sprout from his hand out of thin air.
Xiao Wu, on the other hand, was dressed in purple, purple, purple, and black, with a pair of rabbit ears swaying on her head.
"Oh my!" The white-haired youth's eyes widened.
The twelve people on the other side were even more surprised. They didn't expect that the aura of the twelve people activating their Martial Soul would be steadily suppressed by the three people.
But that's not all.
A blue-green ripple spread out from beneath Wang Xingyu's feet, covering half of the arena.
The fifteen people were not far apart, and they were all enveloped in it.
Instantly, the expressions of the twelve opponents changed, as they felt their Soul Power begin to leak out for no reason, while the white-haired youth felt Soul Power continuously flowing into his body.
"Holy crap, buddy, is this real Blue Silver Grass Blue Silver Grass? It looks like a tree and has this kind of ability? This setup? You guys aren't Evil Soul Master, are you?"
"You're making a fuss over nothing. If the grass gets thick, it'll become a tree," Wang Xingyu said.
"Exactly, you should be grateful you got the Soul Power. Let's beat the other side first," Xiao Wu chimed in.
The domain didn't completely cover the arena, but to fight, one had to get close to Wang Xingyu and enter the domain.
The burly man, brimming with fighting spirit, laughed, "Hahaha, you've got something! No wonder we had to focus on dealing with you two first. With such strength, I won't hold back any longer! Everyone, charge! Whoever doesn't go first, we'll attack them!" This burly man even knew tactics; with just one sentence, he forced everyone to move forward.
Without further hesitation, the surrounding crowd unleashed their various skills.
It flew in the sky, ran on the ground, and even had a Martial Soul of Lone Bamboo, which directly summoned Lone Bamboo and did a pole vault.
Wang Xingyu showed no mercy. The Blue Silver Tree rose from the center of the domain, and countless Blue Silver Grass covered the entire domain, continuing to spread outwards. In the blink of an eye, the Soul Master on the ground lost sight of their target.
But there were still people in the sky. A Soul Master with the Martial Soul of a War Battle Eagle shouted, "They're here!"
Then he rushed towards the three of them, followed by a Soul Master whose Martial Soul was the Purple-Feathered Crane.
"Leave it to me," said the white-haired youth.
A roar like a lion echoed as the Thousand-Year Soul Ring lit up. A mental-type Soul Skill instantly stopped the two Soul Master who were charging towards the three, causing them to plummet to the ground.
"It's not over yet!"
Another loud shout came from the ground.
Two enormous, round hammers shot out from the Blue Silver Grass and smashed towards Xiao Wu.
Even with the Blue Silver Grass constantly slowing it down, the force of this hammer blow was still considerable.
Xiao Wu didn't linger in the fight; she used her Invincible Golden Body to fly backward using the force of the hammer.
Meanwhile, Wang Xingyu had already taken cover under the Blue Silver and hid on the edge.
"Hey, you two hid so fast?"
The white-haired youth retreated while muttering complaints, and then followed suit.
Wang Xingyu quickly realized that a direct confrontation would be too risky, so he could only fight while on the run, seizing opportunities and avoiding being surrounded.
Furthermore, the Blue Silver Domain continuously depletes the opponent's Soul Power; the longer the fight drags on, the greater the chance of victory.
He used the Blue Silver Grass to sense things while simultaneously creating distance.
The Soul Battlefield is best used when there are only four players left. With proper coordination, the chances of success are quite high.
"Where do you think you're going! Flying Locust Charge!"
A Martial Soul whose Martial Soul was the Lightning Flying Locust crashed into Wang Xingyu Soul Master mid-air.
A flash of red light, and Xiao Wu had already attacked from the side.
Self-Created Soul Skill: Eight-Stage Throw.
Although she can't use her sixth Soul Skill, the Explosive Killing Eight-Stage Throw, Xiao Wu still has her Self-Created Soul Skill.
The first shot hits precisely!
If all goes well, the Soul Master with the Martial Soul Lightning Flying Locust will be eliminated. But many other Soul Master are on their way.
"Cover me!" Xiao Wu shouted.
Wang Xingyu is a support-type Soul Master, so this sentence was naturally said to the white-haired youth.
"Alright," the white-haired youth replied.
He looked at the people chasing behind him. Despite the Blue Silver Grass constantly slowing them down, some of them were still not slowed down much.
As for others, they exclaimed, "Damn it, how come this Blue Silver Grass is immune to both ice and fire?!"
Someone roared, it seemed they had already tried to eliminate these Blue Silver Grass.
Unfortunately, Wang Xingyu's Blue Silver Grass is immune to both ice and fire. Even if it is violently destroyed, it will quickly regenerate. Furthermore, both the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass and the Infernal Delicate Apricot are highly poisonous, and the Blue Silver Grass is completely immune to ordinary poisons.
It's not that they don't want to eradicate it, but that they lack the ability or it's not cost-effective.
Several phantom white wolf figures attacked the pursuers, slowing their progress.
Xiao Wu finished the fight with her Eight-Stage Throw, cleanly and decisively eliminating the Lightning Flying Locust Soul Master.
There are eleven left. This is the only wave, and the remaining people will only become more vigilant.
Another figure darted out from the side; it was the Soul Master with the Martial Soul of Lone Bamboo, Fourth Soul Skill: Billowing Waves!
One bamboo shadow after another crashed down on the three of them.
The three quickly dispersed, continuing to fight and run.
The battle then devolved into a stalemate.
You attack, I defend; you advance, I retreat.
Before long, the two opposing flying-type Soul Master each carried one person, suspending themselves above the three, facing the four directly, with seven more people behind them.
Xiao Wu has a very keen sense of combat, and she struck first before her opponents could surround her.
I used Teleportation and Moonfall, choosing the option with the lowest defense.
A single, decisive blow, and the man's figure vanished.
Using Moon Shadow's two clones, he led Wang Xingyu out of the encirclement, at the cost of suffering numerous Soul Skill on his back.
The Willow Shade Blessing a swift recovery.
Ten people remain.
With their Soul Power continuously being absorbed and two of their members lost, the opposing side realized this wouldn't work and immediately adjusted their tactics, steadily encircling and constantly compressing the three members' positions.
They gradually forced the three of them to the edge of the stone steps.
"Fifth Soul Skill, Sea Stabilization!" The Soul Master with the Martial Soul Lone Bamboo unleashed his Fifth Soul Skill, a control-type skill.
The space around the three of them suddenly sank, and their figures were immediately frozen in place.
Although I could feel that I would break free soon, there was also a little over a second of immobilization time.
No, is this Lone Bamboo? Sure enough, none of them who managed to get through the fourteenth step were easy opponents.
In that brief second, several beams of purple and red light blasted towards them, a giant hammer on the left, a spear on the right, and a punch and a kick on top of it.
There is nowhere to escape.
Boom! The sound of the impact rang out.
Xiao Wu and her two companions flew off the arena. Wang Xingyu and the white-haired youth disappeared.
The feeling of the Blue Silver Tree and the Soul Power being devoured disappeared simultaneously, but the surrounding Blue Silver Grass did not disappear; instead, it collapsed to the ground.
Some observers discovered that these were genuine Blue Silver Grass, not products of Soul Power.
The three might be hiding under the Blue Silver Grass.
They destroyed several haystacks, but still found nothing.
The domain is indeed different from Martial Soul; it can summon real Blue Silver Grass.
At this moment, on the back of the arena.
Wang Xingyu and Xiao Wu were being dragged along by the dense Blue Silver Grass, hiding in the middle of the back of the arena.
Unfortunately, Soul Master who can pass the fourteenth level is indeed quite powerful, and there is only such a small area, so it is impossible to really pull them apart.
The chances of winning a head-on confrontation are less than 10%.
If Xiao Wu were to go all out, she might be able to defeat three or four people, but her opponents are not just three or four.
Wang Xingyu could continue to provide support, but if he fought for a while longer, he would have to be distracted by protecting others.
They had no choice but to take cover for the time being.
Flying Soul Master can also reach the area below.
However, at that point, it's no wonder Wang Xingyu used the Soul Battlefield.
Once used, the opponent will lose consciousness and fall to the ground, which counts as a failure.
If he fails and the opponent's soul is also sent out of the Moon-Reflecting City, then Wang Xingyu can simply kill them one by one.
