Just when Tang San prepared to expand the scope of the battle, the black clothed bandits had apparently already become aware that something was amiss here. The higher level Spirit Masters of each academy were also entangled with the higher level black clothed bandits, and even though the students had also begun to bring out their killing power, Tang San was alone in having destroyed a hundred people in just a short time.
Altogether three shadows simultaneously pounced in Tang San’s direction. On the appearance of these three, Tang San immediately felt his ease like moving clouds and flowing water disappear. Even though none of these three people pouncing at them didn’t release their spirit, they still gave Tang San quite a lot of pressure.
Confronting a crisis, Tang San’s sixth sense was especially sharp. Without stinting, six Cluster Soul Chasing Life Taking Balls flew out of his hands.
Bright crystal iron balls flew through the air in six beautiful intersecting arcs, separating Tang San from the three suddenly appearing opponents.
Tang San himself used the fastest possible speed to swiftly retreat, dashing back among his companions.
A bright ray of light promptly fell on Tang San, precisely Ning Rongrong’s support, speed boost, forty percent. Tang San’s retreating speed instantly increased.
The six Cluster Soul Chasing Life Taking Balls quietly collided in midair. Instantly, a large cloud of poison gas pervaded the air, and hidden inside the gas were countless hair fine needles, the refined iron hair needles creating a frightening toxic screen, enveloping the path in front of the three black clothed people.
When Tang San threw the six Cluster Soul Chasing Life Taking Balls, he basically did it without looking, but right now the front of his clothes were already soaked through with sweat. Because he clearly felt that the pressure exuded by the three was almost enough to make him collapse. In other words, the strength of these three together would in no way lose to an eightieth rank Spirit Douluo.
That wasn’t something fiftieth ranked Spirit Kings could attain.
Why would there be such powerful Spirit Masters among the enemies?
The three black clothed people used the number of their spirit rings to ascertain Tang San’s conjecture. Eight, seven, seven. One Spirit Douluo, two Spirit Sages released their spirits.
Incomparably tyrannical spirit power fluctuations erupted, engulfing the great cloud of poison needles. Tang San’s spirit power was still too weak. If the six Cluster Soul Chasing Life Taking Balls were launched by Dugu Bo, then even if the three people didn’t die, they’d at least have lost a layer of skin.
But Tang San’s spirit power was a lot lower.
However, even like this, it still held back the opponents a moment, giving him the chance to retreat to his cormades.
Suddenly seeing three powers appear, Flender and Liu Erlong’s hearts chilled. Their two fifty something ranked Spirit Master opponents had proved to be extremely slippery in their fight, both agility attack system, and until now they hadn’t been able to destroy them. Now seeing the three powers appear, the two Spirit Kings turned and ran.
The silhouettes swiftly approached, and the Shrek Academy group’s expressions quickly turned serious. One Spirit Douluo, two Spirit Sages, two Spirit Kings. They were only too clear on how much strength they had assembled.
If Grandmaster was here to reveal the Golden Iron Triangle triple spirit fusion ability with Flender and Liu Erlong, perhaps there would still have been a chance. But the contrast in strength right now was clearly something that couldn’t be resisted.
But who would shrink back at this moment? Hoping others would come to help them was impossible. The other Spirit Master academies were all trapped. The imperial household knights were also blocked by a group of black clothed bandits. At least they wouldn’t be able to come help them for a while.
What’s more, the academies next to them were rivals. Even if they could get their hands free, they still might not help.
That black masked Spirit Douluo snorted coldly, raising a hand and waving it. Five people simultaneously forged ahead, the two Spirit Saints directly leaping at Flender and Liu Erlong, and the two Spirit Kings under their lead turned to the eleven people of the Shrek Seven Devils.
Tang San and Dai Mubai looked face to face. From each others’ eyes, they could see a resolute light. Eightieth ranked Spirit Douluo. That was already close to the peak of the Spirit Master world. Were opponents like these really something they were capable of resisting? So what if they couldn’t resist? They still wouldn’t give up.
The battle on Flender and Liu Erlong’s side had already begun. Even though Flender was also a Spirit Saint, his spirit power already approached the seventy ninth rank, absolutely a powerful existence among Spirit Sages. His opponent was a Winged Tiger Spirit Sage, and the battle between the two directly unfolded in midair.
Liu Erlong’s opponent was an Armor Plated Tortoise Spirit Master.
One attack and one defense, their battle wouldn’t conclude soon. Liu Erlong’s attacks were admittedly tyrannical, but her opponent’s defense was also impenetrable.
Part 2 (TL by Bagelson)
Both fights sunk into a stalemate. These two masked Spirit Sages were apparently aiming at Liu Erlong and Flender. Even if their spirits didn’t counter the two great powers of Shrek Academy, delaying them wasn’t a problem.
In a battle on the level of Spirit Saints, both sides could use a large quantity of spirit abilities. Defeating an opponent at a similar level wasn’t so easy.
The masked Spirit Douluo’s gaze fell directly on Tang San, the gaze in his eyes like a vulture. His mouth issued a long cry, soaring into the air, he directly pounced at the altogether eleven Shrek Academy people.
The two Spirit Kings basically didn’t move, leaving the attacking entirely to him.
Golden light erupted from the black clothed masked Spirit Douluo, his arms shaking in the air, transforming into golden wings. Even more tremendous golden light formed light and shadows behind him, his black clothes being replaced by golden feathers, the true face of his spirit was revealed.
It was unexpectedly a golden giant eagle.
At the same time as the wings formed, both his arms separated from the wings, becoming two sharp eagle talons. At the same time his body began to contract and change, becoming closer and closer to the golden eagle illusion behind him.
The Shrek Seven Devils’ faces changed. Even though the formidable pressure in the air wasn’t enough to make them collapse, this Spirit Douluo was using his seventh spirit ability, Spirit Avatar, from the start. He was clearly aiming to finish it quickly.
Run? Confronting a flying Spirit Master, running was easier said than done. It would be impossible even with Oscar’s flying mushroom sausage.
Eight spirit rings shone brilliantly, three yellow, two purple, and three black. A fairly good spirit ring configuration.
Even though it wasn’t ideal, it was still enough to amaze.
The black light of the seventh spirit ring curled over the golden body, appearing frightful, powerful. At this moment, the Shrek Seven Devils lost all hope in luck. What they thought to do, could do, was only fight with their full strength.
Nobody could save them, except for they themselves.
The light of spirit rings flared from the Shrek Seven Devils simultaneously.
Tang San waved his hand at Tai Long’s quartet, hinting they should leave at once. These people were after all not part of the Shrek Seven Devils. Confronting a Spirit Douluo, their presence wasn’t significant. Rather than losing their lives here in vain, it would be better to escape.
Strangely, those two Spirit Kings didn’t block the four from retreating. However the four didn’t go far, all condensing their spirit power.
“What skill is there in bullying children? Long time no see, brother eagle.”
An aged voice echoed, a gentle aura covering the Shrek Seven Devils. The pressure from the Spirit Avatar immediately vanished. The seven people looked in
the direction of the voice with relief.
A slim old man had at some point already appeared, standing some distance away, a more than four meter long stick held casually in his hands. Right now raising his head to look at the Spirit Avatar Golden Eagle in midair, his face was serious.
Eight spirit rings glittered equally around him.
The Shrek Seven Devils unexpectedly all knew this elder. It was precisely the one they encountered while hunting for third spirit rings, Dragon Duke Meng Shu.
At that time, Dragon Duke and Serpent Grandmother had given them considerable inconvenience. If they hadn’t responded appropriately, the trouble would have been greater. Tang San used his own strength to vanquish the opponent. But they hadn’t expected to actually encounter him here.
Now Tang San recalled that Meng Yiran was also competing in the tournament, with the Cryptid Academy team. At the time of Shrek Academy’s fight with Cryptid Academy, Tang San hadn’t participated because of his injuries, and had already forgotten about the matter with Meng Yiran. But now he met Dragon Duke again.
The pupils of the golden eagle in the air contracted,
“Meng Shu. You’d best not get involved in this matter.”
Dragon Duke smiled calmly,
“You’re the one looking for trouble, not me. My granddaughter is also a competing student, do you think I wouldn’t look after her safety? I didn’t expect that brother eagle would actually also become a bandit. Truly worthy of congratulations!”
His words brimmed with satire.
By now everyone could see that these black clothed people absolutely weren’t bandits. If bandits could have Spirit Douluo overseers, then wouldn’t the world be in upheaval?
The golden eagle snorted coldly,
“Meng Shu, you really want to go against us? Consider the consequences. This isn’t something you can get involved with.”
A severe light flashed in Dragon Duke’s eyes,
“You think to scare me? Roldiarra[1], others fear you, but I don’t. If you have the skill then deal with this old man first. Otherwise, don’t think about leaving here today.”
The golden eagle’s gaze roamed, its eagle’s vision undoubtedly extremely sharp. He immediately found another person wielding a staff on the battlefield. Serpent Grandmother Chao Tianxiang.
Having already reached the Spirit Sage realm, Serpent Grandmother was right now holding off the attacks of two fiftieth ranked Spirit Kings by her own strength. Sensing the gaze in midair, she also coldly returned it.
Roldiarra inwardly thought that if it was only one of Dragon Duke or Serpent Grandmother, he could absolutely fight as their attributes restrained each other. His spirit had a restraining effect on both these elders.
However, when Dragon Duke and Serpent Grandmother were together, they weren’t something he could confront. Their spirit fusion ability, Serpent Dragon Joint Assault, had long since reached perfection, able to contend even against Title Douluo, let alone him.
Roldiarra issued a sharp bird call, the ear piercing sound breaking the air.
Dragon Duke Meng Shu’s complexion changed slightly,
“You still had companions?”
Roldiarra laughed coldly,
“Meng Shu, I advise you to quickly bring Serpent Grandmother away. We won’t harm your granddaughter. If you don’t leave, once you want to, you won’t be able. I’m just the messenger.”
Dragon Duke’s complexion recovered to normal, but his heart was filled with raging waves. Of course he knew where this Roldiarra came from, but he had never mentioned his counterpart’s identity precisely to leave a life line. Otherwise if he made it clear, he would inevitably not be allowed to die even if he wanted.
Looking at Roldiarra’s unruffled appearance, the thought of retreat was already growing in his heart.
The only reason he had appeared was that he couldn’t bear watching a Spirit Douluo bully a group of Spirit Ancestor children. But there wasn’t any relationship between him and Shrek Academy, and naturally there was no reason for him to risk his life.
“Roldiarra, the longer you live the more you regress. Can you really not settle such a simple task?”
A feminine voice came from the distance. When he spoke Roldiarra’s name he was still in the distance, but when he spoke the final word, his silhouette had already quietly appeared in front of everyone.
It was still a masked man, his age couldn’t be seen, nor heard from his voice. However his clothes weren’t black, but rather all white.
Tang San and the others didn’t feel anything at the appearance of this person, but Meng Shu on the contrary gave a muffled groan, quickly retreating a step, his facial expression changing enormously.
“Old man.”
Serpent Grandmother Chao Tianxing swiftly caught up, one hand still dragging her granddaughter. The imposing manner of husband and wife fused together, then able to ward off that incorporeal pressure.
The white clothed person gave a monstrous laugh,
“So it’s old friends, no wonder Roldiarra couldn’t handle it. Long time no see, Unrivalled Dragon Serpent couple. You have some guts to force this one[2] to make an appearance.”
Dragon Duke’s face grew extremely heavy,
“You actually came as well.”
The white clothed man spoke with that feminine voice:
“Seeing as I’ve also appeared, why don’t you quickly get lost. You should understand the importance we attach to this matter.”
“Fine.”
Dragon Duke agreed with extraordinarily quickly, turning and leaving with Serpent Grandmother, unexpectedly without even pausing.
Meng Yiran looked at her grandfather with astonishment, and was just about to say something when she was stopped by a strict look from Meng Shu. When she looked at Tang San again, her eyes were brimming with regret. The Unrivalled Dragon Serpent brought Meng Yiran along, and in a few leaps they were already out of sight.
The white clothed man’s gaze turned to the Golden Eagle in the air, somewhat impatiently saying:
“Deal with them immediately, or could it be you want me to do it?”
“Yes, lord.”
The enormous pressure once again pervaded the Shrek Seven Devils.
Making the Shrek Seven Devils shocked and heartbroken was an aura with a special fragrance filling the air from that white clothed man. The instant it spread over them, the seven were unexpectedly unable to move, and even unable to use their spirit power.
Scaring off the Unrivalled Dragon Serpent, what did that prove? Shouting at a Spirit Douluo, what did that mean? All kinds of signs explained the strength of this white clothed person.
Just when that golden eagle was about to pounce, reaping the lives of the Shrek Seven Devils, a golden red ray of light suddenly shot out from Xiao Wu. The seven people were once again relieved, recovering the ability to move.
Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun roared practically simultaneously, third spirit abilities launching simultaneously. White Tiger Vajra Transformation, Phoenix Ascension.
Tang San’s Spider Web Restraint flew out, going straight for the golden eagle, Oscar swiftly manufactured his sausages, the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda in Ning Rongrong’s hand simultaneously emitted rays of light, Three Aperture Managing Heart unleashing, separately boosting Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun’s attack, and Tang San’s spirit power.
The tacit understanding and teamwork of the Shrek Seven Devils made even the white clothed man stare blankly a moment.
“Hold on.”
The white clothed man lightly waved his right hand, a surge of violent energy fluctuations making the air distort, nine spirit rings glinting dully over him. Under the effect of that enormous spirit power, the swooping golden eagle was unexpectedly blasted flying.
Part 3 (TL by Bagelson)
The white clothed man’s gaze focused on Xiao Wu,
“You could actually break my Aura Binding Realm.”
His nose twitched. His face couldn’t be seen, but th
e expression in his eyes was somewhat stunned,
“Yearning Heartbroken Red. It’s actually the smell of Yearning Heartbroken Red. You obtained the acknowledgement of the Yearning Heartbroken Red?”
The white clothed man clearly became extremely excited, appearing in front of Xiao Wu in practically just a flash, raising a hand to directly grab Xiao Wu’s chest.
Sonorous metallic cracks exploded like rain hitting palm leaves from the Shrek Seven Devils, countless old lights interweaving and simultaneously covering that white silhouette.
The hidden weapons they used when two Spirit Sages and a Spirit Douluo appeared were already ready. Seeing the opponent about to harm Xiao Wu, they immediately used them.
The white clothed man sneered, half turning in midair, a faint yellow light forming into a disc. Each hidden weapon that entered the range of that yellow light turned into pieces and disappeared. The next instant, his hand already stopped one cun in front of Xiao Wu’s neck, but he didn’t grab.
Xiao Wu was the closest to him, and could clearly feel the white clothed man tremble. That should be the mood of extreme agitation.
Title Douluo. This white clothed man appearing in front of them was undoubtedly one of the peak existences of the Spirit Master world, a Title Douluo.
But right now he was unexpectedly this excited.
The Shrek Seven Devils didn’t move. They all knew that Xiao Wu’s life was already completely in the hands of this white clothed man. As long as this white clothed man twitched a finger, Xiao Wu, completely locked down by him, would immediately die like a fading fragrance.
Tang San’s clothes were practically instantly soaked with sweat. It was difficult to express the panic spreading in his heart. He would prefer the threat of death be aimed at him before any harm came to Xiao Wu.
Eight Spider Lances broke through his back under the effect of his panic, a Yama’s Invitation already snugly fitted into Tang San’s palm.
Tang San knew that he would only have one chance to act. Moreover, the opponent was still a Title Douluo. With his present spirit power, there was practically no chance of success for Yama’s Invitation against a Title Douluo. But, how could he just blankly watch Xiao Wu’s death at the hands of the enemy?
