Tang San's Blue Silver Grass coiled around the waists of the other six Shrek Seven Devils, granting them remarkable agility in movement.
For a moment, Tang San became the focal point that drew everyone's attention, leaving the spectators astonished.
The power of the Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul was unexpectedly formidable, its toughness far surpassing everyone's imagination.
To the onlookers, the Shrek Seven Devils' unique control-type Soul Master seemed to have increased their chances of victory slightly.
Yu Tianheng naturally recognized Tang San's importance—he was the more pivotal figure in the Shrek Academy Team compared to Dai Mubai.
During the brief clash earlier, Yu Tianheng had nearly managed to strike Dai Mubai.
In a direct confrontation, Dai Mubai would undoubtedly have been injured.
But at the critical moment, Dai Mubai suddenly vanished, pulled back into formation by the Blue Silver Grass.
Yu Tianheng decided to target Tang San directly with his overwhelming lightning power to disrupt the Shrek Academy Team's formation.
Swinging his Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Arm, Yu Tianheng abruptly accelerated.
He appeared to charge toward Dai Mubai but suddenly veered mid-air, lunging straight at Tang San.
Beyond the strength of his Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul, Tang San was even more proficient in the Tang Sect's Ghost Shadow Perplexing Steps.
With peculiar footwork, he dodged Yu Tianheng's Thunder Dragon Claw.
Simultaneously, the Blue Silver Grass wrapped around the other six Shrek Devils suddenly tightened.
Xiao Wu, Ma Hongjun, Zhu Zhuqing, and Dai Mubai were all pulled by the Blue Silver Grass to attack Yu Tianheng from all sides.
This was precisely the deadly decapitation trap Tang San and his team had set.
Faced with this situation, Yu Tianheng was somewhat surprised.
The coordination of the opposing team and the control-type Soul Master's manipulation exceeded his expectations.
But it was merely unexpected—nothing more.
The Imperial Team wasn't just him alone.
He swiftly unleashed a Thunder Dragon Claw, shattering Ma Hongjun's incoming Phoenix Fire Line.
His lightning power erupted, reducing Tang San's Blue Silver Grass restraints to charred fragments, scattering in all directions.
Yet, despite this, Ma Hongjun's continuous Phoenix flames still pressed forward, and Xiao Wu, Zhu Zhuqing, and Dai Mubai closed in right before him.
In the past, he would have relied on his sheer strength to withstand the attacks of all four.
But ever since Dugu Yan's strength gradually caught up to his, and she began contesting his authority as the vice-captain within the team...
Though Yu Tianheng resented it, he had to admit that Dugu Yan's progress was rapid, and her role in the team was growing increasingly significant.
Electric light flickered in his eyes.
His gaze locked onto Dai Mubai.
The opposing control-type Soul Master had already retreated to the rear, and his footwork was bizarre, no less agile than an assault-type Soul Master's.
Attacking Tang San would likely fail again.
Then it's you, Dai Mubai!
The enemy wanted a decapitation strike.
Why couldn't he do the same?
At this moment, Yu Tianheng roared fiercely, his second and third Spirit Rings blazing with light.
Under the amplification of his Third Soul Skill, Thunder Fury, his lightning power surged by 100%, and his Soul Power increased by 50%.
He erupted with full force.
His Second Soul Skill, Thousand Jun of Thunder, unleashed countless Lightning Arrows.
He lunged diagonally toward Dai Mubai.
This was his all-out strike.
And it targeted Dai Mubai alone.
He ignored Ma Hongjun's Phoenix Fire Line.
Nor did he pay attention to the attacks from Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing right in front of him.
His eyes were fixed solely on the White Tiger.
Dai Mubai had already activated his White Tiger Vajra Transformation, doubling his attack and defense power while also increasing his resistance to abnormal states by twofold.
His Evil Eye Double Pupils merged as he roared, unleashing his Second Soul Skill, White Tiger Light Wave—a blinding sphere of white radiance.
It collided head-on with Yu Tianheng's Second Soul Skill, Thousand Jun of Thunder.
At that precise moment, three streams of white light surged as Ning Rongrong's enhancement buffs landed on Dai Mubai.
This further amplified Dai Mubai's fighting spirit.
First came the clash between thunderous power and the White Tiger Light Wave.
Then Yu Tianheng's dragon claws met Dai Mubai's tiger claws in direct confrontation.
The terrifying explosive force made the entire Soul Duel Stage tremble violently.
The sky filled with crackling lightning and blinding white light.
Tang San's meticulously arranged four-against-one siege formation had, in reality, devolved into a brutal clash between Yu Tianheng and Dai Mubai.
Because before Zhu Zhuqing, Ma Hongjun, and Xiao Wu, streaks of Azure Phosphorous Finger Force suddenly appeared.
Forcing all three to sidestep several meters to avoid the deadly poison, while simultaneously expending Soul Power to neutralize the attacks.
Yu Tianheng seemed utterly confident in his teammates.
He paid no attention to his back or flanks.
After colliding with Dai Mubai, the moment he landed, he immediately pounced again with Thunder Dragon Claws.
Dai Mubai had been forced back several steps from the initial impact.
In a direct confrontation between dragon and tiger, the dragon ultimately proved more domineering.
The fundamental nature of the Blue Sky Tyrant Dragon Martial Soul surpassed that of the Evil Eye White Tiger.
Had it not been for Ning Rongrong's enhancements, Dai Mubai would have sustained serious injuries from that exchange.
Yu Tianheng pressed his attack relentlessly.
Simultaneously, healing white light enveloped him—though the collision had only caused superficial wounds, Ye Lingling still treated him immediately.
Ensuring he could continue attacking Dai Mubai at peak condition.
At the rear of their formation, Tang San's expression changed drastically.
He hadn't anticipated their opponent's control-type Soul Master Dugu Yan would react so swiftly.
Destroying his carefully arranged four-against-one advantage.
Now with Yu Tianheng facing Dai Mubai alone, if Dai Mubai took two more direct hits, he'd likely be coughing up blood.
"Parasite!"
Tang San activated his parasitic skill—seeds he'd planted on Yu Tianheng during the initial Martial Soul Avatar activation at battle's start.
As the Soul Skill triggered, Blue Silver Grass vines tightly constricted Yu Tianheng's body.
While this couldn't truly restrain Yu Tianheng, it did slow his movements.
Buying Dai Mubai precious recovery time.
Dai Mubai immediately consumed a Recovery Sausage, regaining some of his fighting spirit.
Yet now the greatest threat on the battlefield wasn't Yu Tianheng, but rather Dugu Yan's poison.
While forcing Zhu Zhuqing's trio to retreat, Dugu Yan had seized the opportunity to unleash concentrated Azure Phosphorus Violet Venom.
With poison in play, Shrek's side couldn't fight at full strength.
True to form, Tang San deployed his trump card—using fire and strong liquor to neutralize the poison.
Dugu Feng observed thoughtfully.
It all came down to Ma Hongjun's flames after all!
The alcohol amplified Ma Hongjun's fire, pushing his Phoenix Flames' burning power to its limits.
Thereby countering Dugu Yan's Third Soul Skill, Azure Phosphorus Violet Venom.
Though admittedly, Dugu Yan's poison technique wasn't yet perfected.
The violet mist remained too dense, too concentrated.
Unable to spread silently and imperceptibly.
Even as the Azure Phosphorus Violet Venom was neutralized, the Shi Mo brothers charged forward.
The battle essentially reset to its opening state.
Both sides reclaiming their original positions.
The brief skirmish had just ended, with minimal losses on both sides, yet it highlighted the excellent teamwork of the two squads.
The battle was so thrilling that the spectators watched with great interest, as suspense hung thick in the air.
When the two sides clashed again, it turned into a fierce and brutal battle.
Everyone was eagerly anticipating it.
