"Your opponent is me."
Against the Sheep Soul Master,
Unlike Dai Mubai's ease,
First Soul Ring skill—Nether Stab, activated. Empowered by her Soul Skill, Zhu Zhuqing's speed increased further. Her fingertips extended sharp claws, aimed directly at the opponent Soul Master's neck. As long as she successfully controlled the opponent and eliminated his support ability, her objective would be achieved.
Blue Silver Grass surged wildly, wrapping toward the bewitching girl.
Facing Tang San's attack, the bewitching girl didn't dare let her guard down in the slightest. As the pivotal figures on both sides, they had finally clashed. The girl's second Soul Ring lit up, and both heads rose simultaneously. This time, rather than spitting spider silk from both hands, silk erupted from her entire body. Though the silk was thinner than the Blue Silver Grass, it made up for it in sheer quantity, forming a barrier in front of her that forcefully blocked the Blue Silver Grass's skill.
The spider silk and Blue Silver Grass made contact, producing continuous popping sounds—the clash of poisons. With a Spider Martial Soul, how could the bewitching girl's Soul Skills not contain lethal venom?
The bewitching girl's spider silk seemed to follow the same developmental path as Tang San's Blue Silver Grass. The silk was tough and resilient, while the Blue Silver Grass was inherently flexible. The two sides were locked in a stalemate in midair, with neither able to overpower the other. They could only rely on their poisons to attack each other. In this regard, the Blue Silver Grass, which had acquired the Human-Face Demon Spider's lethal toxin, held a clear advantage—the accompanying corrosive venom continuously ate away at the spider silk before her.
Though the bewitching girl was inwardly startled, her objective had already been achieved. As long as she could use this opportunity to help free the Frenzy Rhino, then the momentum of this battle would still be on their side.
Just then, with a whoosh, a stream of flame as thick as an arm shot through the gaps in the Blue Silver Grass and struck the spider web the bewitching girl had woven. The purple-red flames not only tore a hole in the web but also clung to it, rapidly spreading sideways.
Tang San gave a silent nod of approval. With a flick of his wrist, another ball of green light was launched, slipping perfectly through the hole in the spider web and heading straight for the bewitching girl. If he could just pin down this Control Type Soul Master once more, this Soul Duel would lose all suspense.
The bewitching girl barely dodged in time to avoid Ma Hongjun's Phoenix Fire Line. With the Fire Phoenix Immersion already activated, the Phoenix Fire Line's offensive power was formidable, and its temperature was incomprehensibly high. Most terrifyingly, his Phoenix Fire Line wasn't merely a straight-line attack. Under Ma Hongjun's control, it was like a blazing whip—a few sweeps was enough to tear through her spider web.
Watching Tang San's attack bearing down on her, the bewitching girl could no longer spare any attention to rescue the Frenzy Rhino on the ground. Her body flipped backward, evading the Web Binding Tang San had launched.
The Web Binding spread open in midair—its five-meter diameter coverage was not so easily dodged. At that very moment, the bewitching girl's third Soul Ring finally lit up.
On either side of her head, eight strands of hair that had been lying flat instantly spread outward. Bathed in a pink glow, they transformed into eight whips each two meters long. Swinging them in unison, they actually managed to stall Tang San's Web Binding for a moment. Most remarkably, the pink whips she swung out were completely unaffected by the web's adhesive. With a roll of her body, she escaped the Web Binding's coverage entirely.
Bang—The Wishful Plate Soul Master stood absolutely no chance against the agility-focused Zhu Zhuqing. Just as Control Type countered Agility Attack Type, so too did Agility Attack Type specialize in countering Support Type. Zhu Zhuqing's palm chopped down on the opponent's neck, and the Wishful Plate Soul Master didn't even manage a grunt before collapsing unconscious.
However, in the final moment before Zhu Zhuqing reached him, the Wishful Plate Soul Master had known he couldn't escape, and he unleashed his third Soul Skill. That Wishful Silver Plate released a layer of strange silver ripples. The instant Zhu Zhuqing's strike connected with his body, the silver light successfully split into six streams, simultaneously pouring into the other six members of the Frenzy Team.
And that very instant was precisely when the bewitching girl broke free from Tang San's Web Binding.
The silver light entered their bodies. All six members of the Frenzy Team trembled at once. In the next instant, their eyes simultaneously turned red, and their bodies swelled by a full size. Even the Frenzy Rhino on the ground used his core strength to leap up from within the Web Binding.
Dai Mubai had already gained a decisive advantage, but after the silver light infused his opponent, the Sheep Soul Master suddenly became frenzied. Not only did his Soul Power surge dramatically, but his eyes turned blood-red as well, forcing Dai Mubai back with raw power before charging at him madly.
Xiao Wu's situation was even worse than Dai Mubai's. The silver light infusion not only caused the Sheep Soul Master's Soul Power to skyrocket and sent him into a frenzy, but the Trample skill's range also expanded significantly. Accompanied by intense tremors, Xiao Wu's body went rigid, and she could do nothing but watch as the opponent's charge bore down on her.
In that critical moment, teamwork proved its worth. A strand of Blue Silver Grass silently wrapped around Xiao Wu's waist and yanked her body forcibly backward, narrowly avoiding the incoming attack.
The two Monkey Soul Masters' speed surged dramatically, actually matching Zhu Zhuqing's pace as they closed in on her. Meanwhile, the eight pink strands of hair swinging atop the bewitching girl's head instantly lengthened. Four of them reached out and hooked onto the spider web still clinging to the Frenzy Rhino, who had gotten back to his feet, pulling desperately. Combined with the Frenzy Rhino's own full-force efforts, the Web Binding wrapped around him was gradually being peeled away. Though it left large web-shaped wounds across his body, if he could escape the web's range and join their side, the situation would shift immediately.
The other four pink strands extended rapidly, whipping toward Tang San himself.
At this moment, Tang San's body felt a wave of emptiness. Having released Web Binding twice in succession had consumed two-thirds of his Soul Power. Against the opponent's frenzied onslaught, the Blue Silver Grass alone was no longer enough to hold them back. Left with no choice, he activated the Ghost Shadow Phantom Trail and retreated at top speed. Fortunately, the fatty's Phoenix Fire Line provided cover, driving the opponent's attack back.
Among the seven members of the Frenzy Team, most had already entered a peculiar state—only the Spider Soul Master girl seemed to remain clear-headed. Although the Phoenix Wicked Fire was her natural bane, she used the Frenzy Rhino's body in front of her as a shield. When Ma Hongjun's Phoenix Fire Line struck, it caused the Frenzy Rhino to roar in fury but wasn't enough to truly harm him. Likewise, Tang San's Web Binding was countered by the Wicked Fire, and under the frenzied pulling of both the Frenzy Rhino and the Spider Soul Master girl, the Web Binding was finally torn apart.
The originally dominant situation had been completely overturned by a single Soul Skill from the Wishful Plate Soul Master. A Thousand-Year Soul Ring skill truly was extraordinary. What the Shrek Seven Devils didn't know was that the reason their opponents were called the Frenzy Team had everything to do with their current state. The Wishful Plate Soul Master's third Soul Ring skill had been obtained from a Fanatic Demon Lizard. Once activated, this Thousand-Year Soul Ring skill could maintain the user's entire team in a Fanatic state for three minutes.
Under the Fanatic state's effect, the afflicted would lose all sense of pain, and if their mental strength wasn't powerful enough, they would also lose their minds. In exchange, all of their attributes would instantly increase by fifteen percent—an absurdly powerful ability. Additionally, any Support Type Soul Skills that had already been cast on them would be frozen for one minute. In other words, even though the Wishful Plate Soul Master had already passed out, the support effects he had previously applied to the Frenzy Team members would continue to persist for one more minute, stacking on top of the Fanatic state's own amplification.
It was precisely because of this that they had been able to turn the tide in an instant.
Of course, the Fanatic skill's tyranny came with its own drawback—a very direct one. The Fanatic state only lasted three minutes. After those three minutes, anyone who had been affected would be unable to use or gather Soul Power for an entire hour. In other words, if they failed to defeat their opponents during the Fanatic state, they would be the ones who fell. It was a desperate Soul Skill, but its effect was nothing short of spectacular. At critical moments, it could turn the tide of battle completely.
