Soft Bones Demon Rabbit’s third spirit ring ability, Teleport, launched.
Yu Tian-Heng only caught a flash in front of him as Xiao Wu’s silhouette had already disappeared, the next moment, that slender lovable body suddenly magnified before him, a long braid directly coiling around his neck, Xiao Wu leapt up, both hands with the help of the braid pulling within the hook of Yu Tian-Heng’s dragon arm, resisting the supplemental thunder strength, both feet simultaneously stepping on Yu Tian-Heng’s lower abdomen.
Soft Bones Demon Rabbit’s first spirit ring ability, Waist Bow, launched. Yu Tian-Heng was unable to resist the enormous force used and was suddenly thrown up, despite his spirit power being eight ranks higher than Xiao Wu, despite Thunder Fury amplifying his spirit power by fifty percent, right now his body’s condition had already dropped to the bottom of the valley, adding Xiao Wu possessing the thirty percent strength boost from Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pavilion, he was left basically without the chance to resist Xiao Wu’s Soft Skill.
As Yu Tian-Heng swept past Dai Mubai, Dai Mubai’s tiger paws simultaneously swatted down at his ribs.
It has to be said, despite Yu Tian-Heng right now already having received enormous injuries, his experience with facing enemies was abundant, managing to use the dragon arm to block his chest, relying on this solid arm to endure Dai Mubai’s attack, with the clear sound of shattering bone. These two paws still had a thirty percent strength boost, an attack with the strength Dai Mubai stored up since coming out of paralysis, even if it was the outstanding defensive power of Yu Tian-Heng’s dragon arm, it still fractured the bone. With the “assistance” of Dai Mubai, his entire body accelerated to even higher speed, flying toward the Emperor Team’s side.
From Yu Tian-Heng crossing over the Black Tortoise Spirit Masters to launch his attack, to being surrounded by the Shrek Seven Devils, to them inflicting serious injuries on Yu Tian-Heng, the complete process had only taken a very short amount of time, that’s all.
Hong——, Yu Tian-Heng’s body heavily struck the two Black Tortoise Spirit Masters’ tortoiseshells and came to a stop, his whole body cut bloody and ragged, from his mouth also madly spurting blood. Under the successive attacks, he already suffered serious injuries, even his Thunder Fury almost broken apart by the Shrek Seven Devils. This wasn’t at all the Shrek Seven Devils wanting to casually kill someone, but the result of showing some leniency. Otherwise, if Tang San also had attacked, it wouldn’t have been as simple as Yu Tian-Heng spitting blood.
“Bastards, I’ll kill you!”
Yu Tian-Heng’s serious injuries undoubtedly infuriated the Emperor Team, especially the vice captain Dugu Yan, as Yu Tuan-Heng’s intimate friend, watching her man suffering serious damage by the opponents from all directions, but herself without the time to assist him, how painful was this kind of feeling.
Part 3 (TL by Bagelson)
At this moment, she had already completely forgotten what Qin Ming said, and with a sharp hiss, her third spirit ring abruptly shone.
The originally dark green eyes completely became violet, even the scales of the snake tail were covered by a faint layer of violet light, opening her mouth wide, a dense violet mist burst out, rapidly spreading in the air, surging in the direction of the Shrek Seven Devils.
“Everyone return!”
Tang San shouted loudly, pulling back Dai Mubai, Zhu Zhuqing and Xiao Wu who wanted to dash forward for a follow up attack behind him, right now, he stood furthest ahead of the Shrek Seven Devils.
But the opponents’ Wind Chime Bird Spirit Master and Black Leopard Spirit Master taking advantage of their speed to launch attacks, seeing the violet mist panicked broke off their approach, from how the two recoiled to the sides it could clearly be seen they were terrified of Dugu Yan’s violet mist.
Tang San with a serious face attentively watched that violet mist floating over, right now, the violet mist already resembled a protective screen separating the two sides, moreover slowly advancing in the Shrek Seven Devils’ direction. Apart from flying up or perhaps stepping down from the spirit ring, they would inevitably be enveloped by the violet mist.
Before the violet mist had arrived, already a fishy smell assailed the nostrils, making people feel nauseous and faint. The Shrek Seven Devils without hesitation swallowed down one of Oscar’s sausages, and Oscar himself swiftly began to make detoxifying small sausages in preparation for future need.
Both hands pressing on Twenty Four Moonlit Bridges at his waist, Tang San pondered for a moment, calmly saying:
“A Jade Phosphor Serpent of the Jade Phosphor Five Poisons, that’s all, I’ll break your snake venom.”
Tang San raised both hands, each with a very large water skin, each water skin large enough to hold ten jin[ 10斤 = 5 kg] of drinking water, generally speaking, for use when travelling long distances.
Tang San exerted himself to whip out both hands, the two leather bags thrown into the air, at the same time shouting loudly,
“Boss, White Tiger Light Wave. Fatty, Phoenix Fire Wire. Launch.”
The Shrek Seven Devils hadn’t been cooperating for just one or two days, Ma Hongjun and Dai Mubai understood intuitively. Dai Mubai right now still in White Tiger Vajra Transformation without hesitating spit out a White Tiger Light Wave, going straight for the water skins Tang San threw out, Fatty’s Phoenix Fire Wire following close behind.
Hong——
The two water skins hit by White Tiger Light Wave were without a doubt instantly smashed to pieces, the “water” within spreading upward in a huge cloud of dispersing water under the intense spirit power attack, and at this moment, Fatty’s Phoenix Fire Wire also arrived, instantly, the former water cloud unexpectedly completely turned into a cloud of fire, bringing a special fragrance to fill the air and pervade everyone present. Furthermore, it completely enveloped the violet mist.
The dense violet mist unexpectedly also ignited under this sudden blaze, making a series of popping noises, disappearing in a moment. In the air, under the shining stage lighting, only those two smashed water skins slowly fell to the ground. The protective screen between the two teams had already completely faded away.
“No, this isn’t possible. How could you break my Jade Phosphor Violet Poison?”
Dugu Yan stupidly stared across at Tang San, her eyes brimming with a disbelieving expression. Not just her, but each member of the Emperor Team stared dumbfounded.
They all clearly understood Dugu Yan’s Jade Phosphor Violet Poison. Even if it was the powerful Yu Tian-Heng, he still wouldn’t dare lightly come into contact with it. This third spirit ring ability was even more Dugu Yan’s most poisonous attack, the poison acting extremely quickly, with just a little bit of contact with the violet mist, in a short time one would issue pus and die.
Distantly at the entrance of the passage, Qin Ming’s heart became greatly anxious as he saw the violet mist, wanting to call out to stop it, but before he could speak up, Dugu Yan’s violet mist had already been dispersed. He as well hadn’t expected it.
Tang San calmly said:
“Jade Phosphor Serpent poison is no more than an insignificant talent, if it was the Jade Phosphor Five Poisons together, perhaps I would have taken some notice of it. Your Jade Phosphor Serpent Poison still has insufficient heat control.”
Poison was what Tang Sect relied on for its fame. What genuinely made people fearful was how Tang San toyed with the poison before him, like he was Lord Guan toying with a broadsword[ A reference to the warrior Guan Yu of Three Kingdoms fame.].
Tang San’s method for unravelling it was actually very simple. In those two water skins wasn’t actually water, but extremely high strength alcohol. Furthermore in this alcohol was also realgar powder. Wine fortified with realgar, generally speaking, was used when entering an area with a lot of snakes, to guard against snake and insect bites.
Tang San threw out the water skins, using Dai Mubai’s White Tiger Light Wave to scatter it as mist in the air, further using Fatty�
�s Phoenix Fire Wire to ignite it, thoroughly cooking the poison. Although Jade Phosphor Serpent Poison was extremely toxic, it was still unable to be preserved when faced with ruthless flame. Earlier when Tang San learned Dugu Yan’s spirit was Jade Phosphor Serpent, he already made preparations to deal with her. Of course, this realgar wine was something he always carried. Twenty Four Moonlit Bridges space was so large, how could it be wasted?
In fact, although Tang San was calm on the surface, in his heart he was secretly shocked, Dugu Yan’s Jade Phosphor Serpent poison was still more potent than he had imagined. And since coming to this world, he still had never had the time to search for poisonous substances and drugs that could be used for Tang Sect poisons and antidotes. Right now he inwardly resolved to learn from his experience this time, and certainly soon mix antidotes and poisons, then, he could truly display the strength of the Tang Sect.
At this moment, a clear calm voice suddenly came through from the rear of the Emperor Team,
“What are you waiting for, is a tiny setback enough to make you fear the opponent?”
Immediately following, accompanying a faint aroma, a white light fell from the sky, that white light appeared extremely peculiar, unexpectedly in the form of petals, gently drifting down, falling directly on Yu Tian-Heng, lightly merging into his body.
Yu Tian-Heng trembled against Dugu Yan’s chest, his open wounds miraculously closed rapidly, his entire body’s complexion seeming to already become much better, unexpectedly getting up on his feet.
In a stern voice he said:
“Lingling’s right, what are we waiting for? Get to it.”
The light of thunder again appearing, though just now still beaten bloody by the Shrek Seven Devils he unexpectedly took the lead to charge ahead, lightning snakes surging around him, even raising that fractured arm again.
That petal-like white light came from Emperor Team’s only auxiliary system Spirit Master Xie Lingling’s hands. Right now, Emperor Team’s formation was no longer as neat as at the start, and the Shrek Seven Devils could finally see Xie Lingling’s spirit, Nine Heart Flowering Apple.
Resting in Xie Lingling’s hands was a pink flowering apple[ Chinese flowering crabapple, Malus spectabilis], formed by white and pink petals, the flowering apple was gorgeous, flowering with beauty and elegance.
The flower leaves and branches welled from either side of Xie Lingling’s hands, softly spreading in the wind, drooping and fluttering, as if beautiful hair covering a virtuous woman’s face, affectionate deep love, charm pitying people.[ Can’t quite find an attribution for this poem. Scanning the flowering apple entry on Baidu suggests it might be Yang Wanli, a 12th century poet, but that seems to reference another line.]
Right now a purple light was fading from her body, clearly those white light petals just now was her thousand year spirit ring ability.
Seeing Yu Tian-Heng completely recovered once again, on the Shrek Seven Devils’ side, everyone’s complexions couldn’t help but change.
One must know, their attack at Yu Tian-Heng just now could be said to have been planned since long ago, it was also their method for pulling close the gap to the opponents. After all, Yu Tian-Heng wasn’t the only formidable person on the other side, if they could first take away Yu Tian-Heng’s fighting strength, then with one person less their side would have a much larger chance.
But right now Yu Tian-Heng charging once again meant that not only did the Emperor Team still possess all its intact strength, it was even more of a blow to the Shrek Seven Devils’ morale that the opponents’ Nine Heart Flowering Apple Spirit Master could heal the wounded at any time, how would they still conduct this battle?
Right now everyone truly understood why Ning Rongrong thought so highly of the Nine Heart Flowering Apple. This peculiar auxiliary system spirit was indeed one of a kind.
With the previous lesson, Emperor Team clearly wouldn’t be as careless as before.
The two Black Tortoise Spirit Masters followed closely behind Yu Tian-Heng, Wind Chime Bird Spirit Master Yu Feng dashing directly at the rearmost Shrek Seven Devil Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Ning Rongrong, and the Black Leopard Spirit Master Osler charged at Zhu Zhuqing from the side.
And Dugu Yan blew out a green mist into the air, from all around enveloping everyone present, right now, the Emperor Team members each put something in their mouths, not suffering the slightest effect within the green mist.
The true battle would begin right now, but the advantageous position carefully set up under Tang San’s control had already been obliterated completely.
He couldn’t be flustered, this was the first problem Tang San realized.
Dai Mubai roared deeply, meeting Yu Tian-Heng from the front, his White Tiger Vajra Transformation had a time restriction, right now he couldn’t delay. But Yu Tian-Heng’s Thunder Fury also hadn’t been revoked. These two Dragon and Tiger great Spirit Masters once again clashed.
Zhu Zhuqing’s figure flickered, fighting the Black Leopard Spirit Master Osler, her attack and spirit power were inferior to the opponent, but her speed was a lot higher, for the moment unlikely to fall into a too great of a disadvantageous position. Of course, this required the assistance of Ning Rongrong’s Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, otherwise, lacking one spirit ring, she wouldn’t be a match for the Black Leopard Spirit Master. Right now, only Xiao Wu remained at Tang San’s side, behind them Fatty using Phoenix Fire Wire to tangle with the Wind Chime Bird Spirit Master, blocking him from attacking Ning Rongrong and Oscar, basically unable to assist.
And right now what Tang San and Xiao Wu confronted wasn’t just the green mist alone, but still the two Black Tortoise Spirit Masters and the constantly using abilities Jade Phosphor Serpent Spirit Master.
Chapter 051: Spirit Fusion Ability Hell White Tiger
Part 1 (TL by Bagelson)
Before this fight, the record Tang San obtained couldn’t only be twenty seven wins, at the same time, he and Xiao Wu’s record in the thirtieth ranked two versus two spirit fights was equally twenty seven total victories. Perhaps they were lucky in some spirit battles, but how could they have been lucky in all twenty seven bouts? In coordination alone, the seven years they already had together undoubtedly made them the most familiar out of the Shrek Seven Devils. Therefore, even though they faced three over thirty fifth ranked peak strength opponents with optimal spirit ring configurations, they still had no fear. Especially the other side’s soul, control system Spirit Master Dugu Yan’s confidence was already cracked by her third spirit ring ability being dissolved.
The Black Tortoise Spirit Master Shi brothers’ heads and legs had already stretched out from their tortoiseshells, the two simultaneously issued deep bellows, their second spirit rings flaring, the edges of their tortoiseshells shining with a not at all intense light.
“Shield Form.[ (化盾) “Transform into shield”]”
The two brothers bellowed with tacit understanding, the tortoiseshells on their chest and back bizarrely separating, each moving into their two hands, becoming two one meter in diameter immense shields. But having lost their tortoiseshells, their bodies were not only much smaller than before they used their spirits, but their sturdy builds had also become thin and weak, apparently as if those tortoiseshells were formed from their bones and essences, truly a bizarre sight.
Until now, the most conspicuous of the Emperor Team was the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Spirit Master, captain Yu Tian-Heng. But in fact, in fighting strength among the Emperor Team, the Shi brothers weren’t in any way inferior to Yu Tian-Heng, regardless of whether it was the Black Tortoise Spirit, Dai Mubai’s White Tiger Spirit or Yu Tian-Heng’s Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Spirit, all were first rate spirits. The low key Shi brothers were even more powerful than everyone imagined, just that in fights there was basically no need for them to display their powerful side. But now, Yu Tian-Heng previously suffering such heavy injuries clearly made these otherwise unflustered Shi brothers truly angry. Right now, two of the
pair’s spirit rings shone. Their gazes burning, staring fixedly at Tang San.
The two Shi brothers glanced at each other, simultaneously shouting loudly and unexpectedly throwing the enormous tortoiseshell shields in their hands, directly at Tang San and Xiao Wu.
The tortoiseshell shields spin whistling through the air, that incomparable energy enough to make people fearful. Most peculiar were the strands of yellow spirit power that connected the back of each tortoiseshell shield with the hands of the Shi brothers. The sharp edges of the tortoiseshell shields cut the air as they passed, creating an extremely disturbing sharp hiss.
The green mist had already inundated everyone, bringing a faintly sweet fishy smell to everyone’s nostrils, despite already having eaten Oscar’s small sausage, apart from Tang San each person of the Shrek Seven Devils felt a burst of dizziness. Fortunately the detoxifying effect of the small sausages was good, and they could persist without signs of defeat.
Right now, a bit relaxedly confronting the other side’s strongest was Dai Mubai.
Once again fighting Yu Tian-Heng, Dai Mubai immediately became aware that the opponent’s condition really hadn’t recovered to its peak. Although those bizarre white light petals helped cure Yu Tian-Heng’s physical injuries, the spirit power he released previously hadn’t recovered. In fact, under the previous siege of the Shrek Seven Devils his spirit power consumption was substantial, an unknown amount more than Dai Mubai.
Bodily injuries recovered quickly, but although Yu Tian-Heng’s fractured Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon arm had barely managed to heal, he still didn’t dare exert himself. Right now he was only relying on his thunder energy to contend with Dai Mubai. With his spirit power already lower than Dai Mubai under the effect of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda boost, Yu Tian-Heng calmly chose a roaming battle, without meeting Dai Mubai straight on.
Dai Mubai was unable to grab the chance for victory he desired, able to become a control system Spirit Master, Jade Phosphor Serpent Dugu Yan’s poison battle control capability was no small matter. Were it not for Tang San exploiting his familiarity with every kind of poison, relying on realgar alcohol to dissolve her strongest third spirit ability Jade Phosphor Violet Poison, perhaps now the Shrek Seven Devils would all have fallen.
