Standing next to Ye Lingling, Lan Si watched the battle between the Emperor Fighting Team and Shrek unfold. With a sigh, he said to Ye Lingling, "Lingling, Tianheng has already fallen into their trap. Prepare to heal him."
Hearing this, Ye Lingling was taken aback and glanced at Lan Si. In her opinion, while Shrek's strength was somewhat surprising, it shouldn't be enough to harm Yu Tianheng. Moreover, Dugu Yan hadn't even used her Jade Phosphor Violet Poison yet.
However, trusting Lan Si completely, she summoned her martial soul and prepared to provide healing when necessary.
The next moment, the battle between the Emperor Fighting Team and Shrek left her stunned.
First, Oslo was defeated by Shrek's agility-attack soul master, the Ghost Civet. Then, the special abilities of Dugu Yan and the Shi brothers forced Xiao Wu and Dai Mubai to stay back. Although they were not injured, they also couldn't harm the other side.
As for Yu Tianheng, after he charged into Shrek's ranks alone, Tang San pulled Dai Mubai, Xiao Wu, and Zhu Zhuqing back into their formation, and the four of them began to gang up on Yu Tianheng.
The Shi brothers and Dugu Yan tried to come to Yu Tianheng's rescue, but Ma Hongjun's Phoenix Fire created a firewall that blocked them off.
In the end, Yu Tianheng was heavily injured and sent flying back. Enraged, Dugu Yan unleashed her third soul skill, activating the Jade Phosphor Violet Poison in its purple venom state.
Yet, Shrek's team neutralized it in a strange way.
At that moment, the Emperor Fighting Team's morale hit rock bottom.
In the Shrek resting area, Yu Xiaogang watched as Yu Tianheng was seriously injured and Dugu Yan's snake venom was neutralized. With the scales of victory tilting toward Shrek, he couldn't help but stand up in excitement. His teacup rattled and fell to the floor, spilling tea everywhere, but he didn't even notice.
They had won. His disciple, Tang San, in whom he had placed great hopes, who he had personally trained, and who possessed twin martial souls, external spirit bones, and had absorbed a third spirit ring beyond its age limit, had defeated Yu Tianheng—the most outstanding disciple of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, the very clan that had expelled him.
At this moment, Yu Xiaogang couldn't help but feel tears of emotion welling up. How many years had it been since he had been mocked as a waste and expelled from the clan due to his mutated martial soul? It had been twenty years, long enough for him to nearly forget.
Now, his disciple Tang San had finally washed away his disgrace.
From now on, Yu Xiaogang could stand tall with pride.
Just as Yu Xiaogang was filled with emotion, a sigh came from Flender beside him. Puzzled, Yu Xiaogang asked, "What's wrong, Flender? The little monsters have defeated Yu Tianheng, the Emperor Fighting Team's captain. We should be happy."
Zhao Wuji, who was sitting next to Flender, couldn't hold back his laughter. "He's happy? It'd be a miracle if he were. Flender bet 100,000 gold soul coins on the Emperor Fighting Team to win."
"100,000?" Yu Xiaogang was startled and couldn't help but ask, "Where did you get that kind of money?"
"That little girl Zhuqing—" Zhao Wuji instinctively began to say it was from Lan Si, but Flender shot him a glare to shut him up. As they turned their attention back to the arena, they saw a sudden change in the situation.
For a moment, Flender felt both relief and worry—relief that his gold soul coins might not be lost after all, and worry that the little monsters seemed to be in big trouble.
Just when the Emperor Fighting Team's morale was at its lowest, Lan Si's voice echoed across the field, "A little setback and you're all downhearted? Is this all you've got?"
As soon as these words fell, the pupils of the Shrek Seven Devils constricted. In the next second, six flying knives sliced through the Blue Silver Grass binding everyone except Tang San, severing the grass wrapped around their waists.
The knives returned to Lan Si, and eight sharp blades began rotating around him.
Lan Si stepped past Yu Tianheng, the Shi brothers, and Dugu Yan, walking slowly toward Shrek. Two yellow and one purple soul rings rose from his feet with each step, circling him and shining brilliantly.
Tang San was alarmed. He had neglected the powerful enemy "I Love Eating Rabbit Meat" in his focus on severely injuring Yu Tianheng. Had the knives just now been aimed at their waists instead of the Blue Silver Grass...
A cold sweat dripped from Tang San's forehead. He didn't dare imagine what could have happened.
Taking a deep breath to calm his nerves, Tang San's brain began to work quickly, formulating a strategy.
There was no time to rewrap the Blue Silver Grass around his teammates' waists, but he wasn't afraid. "I Love Eating Rabbit Meat" may have defeated Xiao Wu before, but no matter how strong he was, he was at best at Yu Tianheng's level.
Since they had already beaten Yu Tianheng into the ground, how could this person dare to charge in alone? He was clearly overestimating himself.
"Attack!" Tang San shouted as he made the first move. Countless Blue Silver Grass shot out from the ground, wrapping toward Lan Si.
A faint smile tugged at Lan Si's lips. His figure flickered as he activated the fourth layer of the Sacred Universe Skill, using his teleportation technique to instantly disappear from his original spot. When he reappeared, he was already behind Tang San, standing in front of Ning Rongrong and Oscar.
The Shrek Seven Devils, including Zhu Zhuqing, were all stunned by Lan Si's speed. Ning Rongrong and Oscar, who had no combat abilities, were paralyzed with fear.
"Let's take out two of them first," Lan Si murmured to himself. He struck Ning Rongrong with a palm, sending her gently flying out of the arena. Since he didn't know about Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing's falling out, he didn't harm her.
Oscar, however, wasn't as lucky. A heavy punch landed on his abdomen, causing him to vomit a large mouthful of bile. He was sent flying like a cannonball and landed heavily outside the arena, unconscious.
"Little Ao!" Ma Hongjun, who had the closest relationship with Oscar, was furious when he saw his friend so gravely injured. His eyes filled with rage as purple-red flames surged around him. His first and second soul rings lit up simultaneously. "Third Brother, move! I'm going to kill him!"
"Second soul skill: Bathing Phoenix Fire!"
"First soul skill: Phoenix Fire Wire!"
Under the enhancement of his second soul skill, Ma Hongjun's flame power increased by 30%, and a thick Phoenix Fire Line shot toward Lan Si, expanding as it neared him, intending to engulf and destroy him.
Lan Si remained calm, unafraid. The eight blades surrounding him gathered in his hand, forming a spinning eight-leaf fan. As the Phoenix Fire Line approached, the fan deflected the flames, sending them back toward Ma Hongjun.
In an instant, Ma Hongjun was engulfed by his own fire, leaving him singed, with only a loincloth covering his vital parts. This was only because Lan Si had spared him out of consideration for Ye Lingling and Zhu Zhuqing; otherwise, he wouldn't have left a single thread on him.
