---------------------------------------------------------------------
Yan Jingxue's expression shifted slightly. As an auxiliary-type soul master, how could she not be aware of the situation?
She had already noticed the predatory gleam in Xie Xie's eyes.
Being targeted by an assassin-type agility attacker would spell disaster for an auxiliary-type soul master like her.
Especially when the enemy also had a teammate capable of spatial teleportation to assist.
"Zhantian!"
Yan Jingxue spoke up, her tone tinged with urgency.
Kuang Zhantian turned his head, and with a glance, he understood the current predicament.
They needed to apply pressure from the frontlines; otherwise, Yan Jingxue wouldn't be able to hold her ground if this continued.
However, even if she joined Jian Mochen's battle now, all they would achieve was a stalemate with Xu Yucheng.
Xu Yucheng possessed strong offensive capabilities. The wounds left by his Death Scythe gradually eroded the target's stamina and soul power, sapping them continuously. Moreover, it even transferred some of their vitality back to him.
This made Xu Yucheng nearly invincible in battle.
As long as he didn't suffer a fatal blow, he wouldn't fall.
The Undying Xu Yucheng.
Though seemingly fragile, he possessed an absurd level of durability.
He alone could withstand the coordinated attacks of Jian Mochen and Kuang Zhantian and still hold his ground.
As for the other two fronts, Long Chen was being completely suppressed by Xu Yuan, while You Dingqi had been relentlessly pressured by Yang Nianxia since his initial misstep.
"Sky Tiger!"
Kuang Zhantian bellowed deeply.
This seemed to be a signal.
Jian Mochen's eyes flashed with light as he locked gazes with Kuang Zhantian.
Both stared at each other intently.
In their hands, the Sky Tiger Shield and Sky Tiger Axe collided, releasing a brilliant burst of light. A massive Sky Tiger manifested in its place.
Sky Tiger Summon.
This was their Spirit Fusion Technique.
A Spirit Fusion Technique!
Xu Yucheng immediately retreated.
Although Wu Siduo's Spirit Fusion Technique compensated for the drawback of being performed solo—thanks to her possessing two martial souls with high fusion—it still fell slightly short.
It could be said that in terms of raw power, there was no difference. However, Wu Siduo was only a Soul Ancestor.
She couldn't unleash the full might of the Netherworld White Tiger.
While her maximum output could rival the current Sky Tiger, she couldn't sustain it for long. In this aspect, she inevitably fell behind Jian Mochen and Kuang Zhantian, who shared the energy consumption between them.
The Sky Tiger roared, and a massive tiger claw descended, swiping toward Xu Yuan.
Xu Yucheng's retreat earned no reproach from Xu Yuan.
Xu Yuan's blood essence surged, unleashing the Seven Forbidden Techniques. His essence, energy, and spirit merged into the surrounding environment.
The Sky Tiger revealed a human-like expression of shock, feeling its soul power suppressed and sensing its explosive power reduced by a full thirty percent.
And that wasn't all—Xu Yuan suddenly grew much stronger, his aura approaching the level of a Soul King-level instructor within the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineer Academy.
The formal instructors of the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineer Academy were among the elite of Soul Kings.
The first three soul rings flashed.
Five Elements Spear Technique!
Spear Demon Body!
Piercing Spear!
Xu Yuan thrust his spear forward, colliding with the tiger claw.
"Roar!"
The Sky Tiger let out a furious roar, feeling excruciating pain from its claw.
That spear carried piercing properties, shattering the protective energy around the claw and penetrating it.
Such explosive power.
Zhou, the observing teacher from the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineer Academy, was utterly shocked.
Is this the strength of this year's Shrek Outer Court students?
This Xu Yuan can unleash an attack comparable to the Sky Tiger on his own?
As for the Sky Tiger's injury, it was simply because Xu Yuan's spear martial soul specialized in explosive power, and the penetration of the tiger claw was actually a result of both sides being evenly matched.
Xu Yuan retracted his spear, holding it horizontally in front of him.
Long Chen seized the opportunity to lash out with his dragon claw, aiming to strike.
The Tianyuan Five Elements Spear blocked the dragon claw. Xu Yuan's gaze was cold.
With a push of both hands, he deflected the dragon claw, quickly retreating to break free from the deadlock. Then, with a powerful stomp, he surged forward again, channeling his blood essence into the spear tip.
Piercing Spear.
Long Chen's pupils contracted.
He had just witnessed this spear pierce through the Sky Tiger's claw.
Knowing he lacked the Sky Tiger's defensive capabilities, he could only evade.
The spear moved like a shadow, transforming into a venomous snake under Xu Yuan's control. Fierce and ruthless, the crimson spear tip flickered, threatening to pierce any part of the area in front of him.
Bang!
The spear shot forward, blood essence erupting into a spear-shaped aura that exploded outward.
Long Chen gritted his teeth, activating his Holy Dragon Body to withstand the spear's aura.
Xu Yuan redirected the spear toward You Dingqi nearby.
If you're looking for a breakthrough, then so are we.
Seeing this, Xu Yucheng had already resumed his position, blocking the Sky Tiger from launching another attack on Xu Yuan.
However, the Sky Tiger's overwhelming force shattered all resistance. Its mighty power slammed into the Death Scythe, forcing Xu Yucheng to stagger backward. He struggled just to block it, let alone stop the opponent.
Xu Yuan's gaze remained cold. As the Sky Tiger charged toward him and swung its claw, he spun around and delivered a swift counter-spear strike.
This spear strike was incredibly fierce, with blood essence surging no less than the previous two strikes.
You Dingqi, already forced into a defensive stance by Xu Yuan, was now being relentlessly pressured by Yang Nianxia's bear paw strikes, forcing him to retreat continuously.
Xu Lizhi muttered an incantation, and various types of buns rapidly appeared in his hands.
"Luo Guixing."
He whispered softly.
Luo Guixing understood his intent and immediately used spatial teleportation to transfer the freshly steamed buns directly into the others' hands.
This move ensured that Little Fatso's support was delivered more efficiently.
No need to worry about catching tossed buns or having them intercepted.
Directly teleported into teammates' hands.
For a teammate like Luo Guixing, he gave a big thumbs-up.
Xu Yuan popped one bun after another into his mouth, consuming four in just three seconds—two Recovery Meat Buns, one Agility Bun, and one Bloodlust Red Bean Bun.
Yes, Bloodlust Red Bean Bun.
Xu Yuan's blood essence boiled, truly igniting in this moment. Crimson flames of blood essence surged around him, exuding an astonishing oppressive aura.
At this moment, the Seven Forbidden Techniques were also terrifying, exerting tangible suppression over the seven opponents.
All seven felt their spiritual power and soul power becoming difficult to mobilize, and even their bodies seemed restrained, making movement arduous.
They were horrified.
What kind of technique was this?
Could spear techniques reach such heights?
Xu Yuan swept his spear horizontally.
The crescent-shaped spear aura pushed Long Chen back, then with a sudden kick to the spearhead, he altered its trajectory. The spear tip shot out, aimed directly at the Sky Tiger.
Silver light flashed as Xu Yucheng stepped in front of Long Chen.
The opponents switched targets.
Though the Sky Tiger's claw was composed of energy, the pain it felt was real. At this moment, it harbored a slight sense of fear.
Xu Yuan's spear bursts were too intense; his full defense had been pierced through the tiger claw.
Roar!
With a tiger's roar, the Sky Tiger, enraged by its own fear, let out a skyward roar. The majestic aura of the king of beasts returned, and faint outlines of soul rings appeared behind it, all glowing brightly.
