Wang Feng found the battle even more intriguing than he had initially anticipated.
Initially, due to having read the original work, Wang Feng hadn't been too invested in this clash. However, the current scenario sparked a different level of interest.
"Judging by Emperor's team stance and formation, it appears there's a well-thought-out strategy to defeat Shrek Seven Devils." Wang Feng mused, rubbing his chin. "And it's not bad, I wonder who coached them, whom am I kidding obviously Qin Ming."
Every team battle involved genuine tactics. The Emperor team, upon unveiling their tactics, utilized the Blue Jaded Scale Poison and Jade Phosphorous Violet poison from the Dugu Yan to obscure the Shrek Seven Devils' vision, ostensibly establishing control over the field.
In reality, it was a ploy for Yu Tianheng, using soul ability that made detection difficult. After all, Tang San and the others were preoccupied dealing with the Jade Phosphorous Violet poison.
Tang San discerned this strategy only after a brief skirmish.
"Mubai, be cautious, exit the battlefield immediately! Also, initiate the White Tiger Vajra Transformation, without hesitation!"
Tang San shouted, simultaneously urging Blue Silver Grass. He attempted to assist Dai Mubai in engaging the two Shi brothers, who possessed the Black Tortoise martial soul. Additionally, Tang San advanced a bit to counter any attempts to encircle Dai Mubai by the opponents.
At this moment, Dai Mubai was already encircled by the Shi brothers, with each brother positioned on each side.
Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing, along with Yufeng and Black Panther were feigning a skirmish, swiftly disengaged upon witnessing Yu Tianheng's actions. They lunged directly at Dai Mubai!
Responding to Tang San's earlier words, Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing, relying on the team's tacit understanding, promptly rushed to rescue Dai Mubai. Their goal, to prevent Dai Mubai from being ganged upon by the returning Yu Tianheng and the Shi brothers!
However, the speed of the two was somewhat lagging behind Yufeng and Osler, given the significant difference in their soul power. Even though the two were feigning and ready to disengage, they still couldn't match the pace of the other duo!
The soul power discrepancy was too substantial.
Osler and Zhu Zhuqing were eight levels apart!
"White Tiger Vajra Transformation!"
Dai Mubai's physique expanded significantly. Upon hearing Tang San's instructions, he swiftly withdrew without hesitation. The Shi brothers, positioned themselves behind Dai Mubai, their emerald tortoise shells emitting an eerie glow. Fortunately, the timely intervention of the Blue Silver Grass enveloping them provided Dai Mubai with a moment to catch his breath.
Yet, Yufeng and Osler were relentless.
"Wing Blade!"
Yu Feng refrained from approaching Dai Mubai directly. Instead, she abruptly pivoted, releasing a series of feather like blades capable of cutting through rocks toward Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing!
The two were taken aback, but thankfully reacted swiftly, evading the blades adeptly. Nevertheless, it felt a tad sluggish!
Simultaneously, Yufeng seized Osler's shoulders, hoisting him into the air. She spun violently, forcefully hurling Oslo toward Dai Mubai's position. Concurrently, the wings also created a rapid succession of violent air currents.
While the airflow wasn't extensive, it precisely collided with Osler's body!
Descending from midair, aided by the effect of the air current, Osler resembled a hunting black panther. Cold light gleamed in his claws as he dove toward Dai Mubai, reminiscent of a hunter chasing his prey.
Observing this, Dai Mubai understood that he couldn't outpace Osler's attack in terms of speed. Nevertheless, he remained unfazed, after all, he belonged to the power attack system. In his current state, his soul power wasn't inferior, almost allowing him to counter the opponent with a single move.
However, just as Dai Mubai built up momentum, he witnessed Osler's soul ring in the air quickly lighting up, as he suddenly splitting into two identical clones!
This abrupt change caught Dai Mubai off guard. In the crucial moment, discerning the real from the illusion became very challenging.
"Their coordination, coupled with their soul abilities... it's oddly reminiscent of us." Dai Mubai pondered. Despite breaking into a sweat, he remained composed, directing a White Tiger Intense Light Wave at one of the figures. Even with the acceleration from the air current, Osler's black panther form couldn't match the speed of the White Tiger Intense Light Wave, making it impossible for him to dodge while swooping down in the air.
At least, Dai Mubai can manage to eliminate one of the clones in advance.
With this move, Dai Mubai displayed a stroke of luck, successfully striking the real body of the Panther and disrupting the duo's combo.
Osler propelled downward by White Toiger Intense Light Wave, was caught by Yufeng in time. Unaware that the Osler had utilized his soul abilities and sustained only minor scratches, Yufeng saved him.
Although injured, Osler's other clone bore the brunt of Ma Hongjun's Phoenix FireWire from behind. Sparks erupted, aiding Dai Mubai in timely resolution of this assault.
Seeing this, Dai Mubai breathed a sigh of relief. Even if the clone didn't possess significant strength, it had effectively impeded him.However, just as Dai Mubai relaxed...
A surge of extreme danger emanated suddenly from behind him.
Without hesitation, he instinctively thrust his tiger palm backward.
Boom!
A terrifying force erupted between the two claws, as purple-blue thunder and lightning coursed through Dai Mubai's body via Yu Tianheng's dragon claws, sending shivers down his spine, electrifying.
"Thunderbolt!"
"White Tiger Shield Body Barrier!"
Simultaneously, the two roared.
Boom!
Following this, Dai Mubai spewed a mouthful of blood, as he was hurtled through the air!
After all, the opponent was at level 39 and had been empowered with two types of Red Jaded Scaled Poison and Blue Jaded Scale Poison by the Dugu Yan. These poisons augmented attack, speed by 20% and defense by 30%%, combined with the Thunder Fury state.
At this moment, Yu Tianheng had undergone minimal consumption of soul power, and had maintained to remain unscathed, and was fully prepared.
Contrastingly, Dai Mubai had entered the fray. Despite initiating the White Tiger Vajra Transformation, his soul power still lagged slightly behind Yu Tianheng's.
However, Yu Tianheng suddenly snorted. Examining the dragon claw in his hand, he noticed numerous additional spikes that punctured the appendage. A wave of weakening force emanated from these spikes.
"Poisonous!"
Yu Tianheng was taken aback. "Dai Mubai's tiger palm is poisonous?"
This poison technique was precisely what Wang Feng had taught Dai Mubai before. Concealed in his palms were blue silver grass spikes enveloped in soul power. The enemy remained unaware of the poison during the battle until it took effect.
Though deceitful, the poison was effective. However, its effectiveness was limited to one use, and repeating the tactic would prove challenging.
Yu Tianheng's expression darkened. Despite their heightened caution and going all out, they still fell victim to this tactic.
While the toxin wasn't severe for him, prolonged combat would accelerate his soul power consumption.
As Blue Silver Grass entangled him from behind, Yu Tianheng swiftly leaped behind the two Shi brothers, deactivating the Thunder Fury state.
"Lingling!"
Yu Tianheng shouted. "Since you must exercise caution, don't let yourself bleed even a little."
"This is a very toxic poison, it's not easy to detoxify. Lingling's healing won't neutralize the poison but can only alleviate the injury somewhat. Fortunately, the wound isn't extensive." Dugu Yan remarked, inspecting Yu Tianheng's palms filled with scratches. "Didn't you break the Blue Silver Grass? Why are you poisoned?"
"That Dai Mubai's tiger palm is poisonous..." Yu Tianheng shook his head.
"Be careful, their melee combat is too cunning! However, I hit Dai Mubai with all my might, and his injury is more severe than mine! Shi Ma! Hold down Tang San and the two women! Yufeng, the fatty is the Evil Fire Phoenix, and restrains your martial soul are somewhat... Go with Osler and directly attack the two! Repeat the previous strategy!"
"That Oscar's sausage, despite its flying effect, is also only an auxiliary system soul master. They must be vulnerable in the rear!"
Yufeng took control of Osler, swiftly closing in on Oscar and the others behind.
Simultaneously, Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing reached Dai Mubai's side.
The two Shi brothers unleashed their third soul ability simulataneously—Tortoiseshell Burst!
Instantly, the two tortoise shells fragmented into dozens of smaller ones, rotating within a ten-meter radius like blades. Resembling spinning tops, the tortoise blades emitted a rusty yellow glow. This offensive and defensive soul ability proved to be very formidable.
Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing didn't dare to confront it head-on. Xiao Wu employed her charm, slowing down their forward momentum. Subsequently, Zhu Zhuqing swiftly moved to the rear to provide protection.
Tang San arrived, positioning himself in front of Dai Mubai, confronting the duo.
"We are completely suppressed..." Tang San's expression turned chilly.
Throughout the battle, they faced constant suppression.
The root cause was surprisingly simple—the substantial difference in soul power!
The opponent's objective was clear, leveraging the significant gap in soul power between the two teams. As soon as they entered the fray, they unleashed potent soul skills that their adversaries couldn't withstand.
Dugu Yan initiated Jade Phosphorous Violet Poison upon entering the battlefield, and Yu Tianheng also immediately activated the Thunder Fury state. His Blue Silver Grass had no opportunity for even the slightest entanglement to hinder the opponent's team.
They dared to employ soul abilities with massive energy consumption because their soul power surpassed that of their adversaries by a large margin. It was their key advantage, the foundation of all their tactics.
Without this power imbalance, Dai Mubai wouldn't have suffered injuries earlier, and his Blue Silver Grass could have entangled Yu Tianheng easily, even if just for a few seconds. Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing could have also reached in time, avoiding being rushed by Yufeng and Osler."Too cautious! It's purely exploiting the soul power gap for suppression! This is the safest and most effective strategy!"
Tang San felt a chill. "If it weren't for brother Feng's training, we might have faced complete defeat by now."
"This is using sheer brute force," Wang Feng sighed from the side. "The Emperor fighting team is formidable. They can conceive such a direct and blunt method. All their tactics revolve around a core point, my spirit power is superior to yours, more than yours, and more enduring than yours."
Examining the soul power of the seven players on both sides, aside from Dai Mubai, the others exhibited a significant difference in soul power. They dared to unleash their soul abilities without restraint, but Tang San and the team dare not to do the same. Moreover, three of them couldn't even utilize the ultimate of their thousand-year soul abilities.
Dai Mubai had the audacity, but the others did not. Furthermore, none of them could utilize the ultimate thousand-year soul abilities, except for Tang San. Initiating the game directly and attempting the spider web restraint would be a futile endeavor unless Tang San experienced a momentary lapse in judgment. After all, other team have four or five people who could use their thousand-year soul abilities, whereas they were restricted to three—an undeniable gap.
"Dai Mubai is injured. The game-changer would likely be Xiao San's Eight Spider Lances. If he can catch the opponents off guard... However, if the opponents choose to dodge, it would be challenging for the Eight Spider Lances to incapacitate them easily. The Emperor team probably has two members remaining with combat capability until the three recover..."
Wang Feng glanced at the rear.
At this moment, Yufeng, carrying Osler similarly to how she had done with Dai Mubai, airdropped him directly to the location of Ning Rongrong and Oscar.
Osler once again employed his third soul skills—Clone!
The two clones launched a direct assault on Ning Rongrong and Oscar.
