Chapter 700 - Teamwork (1/2)

Su Mu watched as the second blue fireball flew towards him. For fear that Gu Yue might change its course again, he didn't use the repelling ring until it was close enough. The fireball slammed into the ring, bounced back, and shot at Gu Yue.

Gu Yue was calm. With a swipe of her hand, she turned the fireball towards Long Yue's back. Boom! Long Yue reeled at the impact and shot an angry glance at Gu Yue.

She is much more powerful than we expected, thought the Fox King. His fifth soul ring lit up, and a destructive ring raced towards Gu Yue. Hua Lantang and Dai Yueyan were also coming at her again. But she disappeared in a flash of silver light. When she reappeared, she was floating in mid-air, holding a staff crowned with a l.u.s.trous seven-colored gem within which tendrils of light danced. Suddenly Yuanen Yehui and Ye Xinglan were beside her. With a wave of her Elemental Staff, she summoned two spheres of wind element in the palm of her hand. Then she infused them into their bodies, boosting their speed.

Xie Xie leapt at Teng Teng, slas.h.i.+ng at him with Light Dragon Dagger. Teng Teng blocked the cut. Back and forth they went, the clang of metal on metal echoing through the arena.

The formation of Tang Wulin's team was breaking up, but they seemed to be taking control of the match. However, the tables would be turned, if Lin San the Wind King managed to take out Xu Xiaoyan.

Watching the figure moving at high speed towards her, Xu Xiaoyan smiled, Star Staff s.h.i.+ning resplendently.

That was when Gu Yue muttered some spell. She waved her staff, summoning a third blue fireball much bigger than the ones before, and sent it at Lin San. The Wind King must have sensed the heat or danger, for he looked up and saw it. But he paid it no mind; he was convinced his speed could enable him to dodge much faster attacks than that one.

As Xu Xiaoyan pointed Star Staff at Lin San, a golden ring appeared on the ground and sped forward. Lin San didn't know what this soul skill of hers could do, but he jumped aside just the same.

Xu Xiaoyan's second soul ring lit up, starlight exploding from her body. Starlight Reversal! Lin San squinted into the dazzling light and lunged at her with a wind blade, but before he could reach her, the blade stopped abruptly, as if there was an invisible barrier around her. The force of impact knocked him backward. He struggled to regain his balance and attempted to dart away as he felt fire licking against his head, but it was too late. Gu Yue's fireball smashed right into him. Boom! In an instant, he was engulfed by flames.

Xu Xiaoyan glanced at Lin San and rushed forward to help her friends.

Their teamwork is impressive! Fang'er thought, her eyes wide with astonishment.

Long Yue was shocked as well. Their team is more tightly knit than ours. Neither of the girls could hope to land an attack on Lin San on their own, but together they took him out!
