Chapter 324.3 - Team FightThe Tang Sect Versus The Snowdemon Sect (1/2)

Bei Bei and Xiao Xiao charged forward at the same time and went up against Gu Tong and Wang Yanfeng. Two versus two, and neither party had the upper hand.

Wang Yanfeng was a little drained from his battle with Huo Yuhao, and it was clear that he hadn’t completely recovered, while Gu Tong’s long-range attacks were exceptionally powerful. Gu Tong’s martial soul was his eyes, but the path that he had decided to take was drastically different from Huo Yuhao’s. His eyes were his strongest weapons, and every single beam that was fired from his eyes was accompanied by alternately sparkling soul rings. Wang Dong’er retreated as she continued fighting, her movements were a little lackadaisical and slow because she was still affected by Gu Tong’s previous attack. Otherwise, how could she be forced back again and again by Chen Yu?

The Eye of Terror was finally in place in the sky, and intense light began to condense towards it. The Body Sect’s entire team instantly felt the immense pressure coming from above them.

However, the Tang Sect seemed to have been suppressed in every individual or group combat that was taking place in several different places at once. They seemed like they were in a dire situation, and even Zheng Zhan was unsure which side had the upper hand at this moment.

There was a boom of impact, and a fountain of blood spurted from Xu Sanshi’s mouth as he was sent hurtling through the air. There was still quite a gap between him and Long Aotian’s strength, and he also had to maintain his Xuanwu Domain to control their opponents. Even though Sanshi had Huo Yuhao’s Spiritual Detection to warn him, Long Aotian finally found and wounded him with pure brute force.

Long Aotian wasn’t in good shape, either. His face looked a little pale, and his breathing was conspicuously heavier and thicker than before. The injury that he had sustained from the Yama’s Invitation was continuously affecting him, while his soul power was being consumed continuously. His current strength was far from his peak condition.

Long Aotian spun around once he knocked Xu Sanshi away. Hurting Xu Sanshi like that was enough for him, and Long Aotian didn’t have to pursue his opponent and break him down completely. Xu Sanshi’s Xuanwu Shield had brought a lot of trouble, and if he really wanted to defeat Xu Sanshi for good inside his Xuanwu Domain, he would have to commit some time and energy even if he were in his peak condition. Long Aotian knew that he would have to pick apart the Tang Sect’s team members one by one if the Snowdemon Sect was to win this match.

Long Aotian chose He Caitou as his target, because he was the only pure soul engineer in this fight, and also because Long Aotian wasn’t far from his position. He pounced towards He Caitou in a flash.

He Caitou grinned as he watched Long Aotian dash towards him.

He Caitou was the most unassuming one amongst the Shrek’s Seven Monsters. He hadn’t fought much in the tournament’s previous rounds, and the only thing he had done that caught the audience’s attention was his Eye of Terror. Otherwise, he wasn’t much to them, and not many people had noticed that he actually had six soul rings!

Long Aotain chose him as his best chance at breaking through the Tang Sect because he figured He Caitou was probably the easiest to knock out, and also because his Eye of Terror in the sky was about to erupt. Wei Na signaled that to Long Aotian, and Long Aotian didn’t want to give him that opportunity.

Long Aotian’s entire body sparkled with bright light as he raised his enormous dark golden axes high into the sky as he charged forward, unleashing his Berserk Godslash!

Long Aotian didn’t use his other soul skills to boost his strength, conserving energy, but he entered his Unity of Heaven and Man realm once more.

Long Aotian had always looked down on soul engineers. From his perspective, soul engineers relied on many different tricks and shortcuts to raise their cultivation, so how could they compare to his soul power that he had obtained from pure hard work?

He Caitou actually laughed as he watched Long Aotian pounce towards him. He raised his hand, and a pale golden cigar appeared in his mouth as his fifth soul ring lit up. He Caitou casually looked down and lit his cigar with a soul ray that was fired from his shoulder and took a deep puff.

Long Aotian’s ferocious Berserk Godslash arrived.

A white light layer glowed on He Caitou’s body – it was his Class 6 protective soul barrier, and intense red light lit up on his chest at the same time. A cannon barrel with a mouth half a foot in diameter opened up on the armor at this chest area.

Boom!

Long Aotian’s strike was fearsome and powerful, and He Caitou’s Class 6 protective soul barrier was blown to smithereens. He Caitou only managed to slow Long Aotian’s large axes for a single beat.

He Caitou sucked on his pale golden cigar ferociously in the next moment. A golden barrier bloomed from his body and forcefully repelled Long Aotian’s Berserk Godslash. Everyone could see the golden cigar in his mouth burn rapidly away as his golden light barrier was struck, half of it was gone after he took the Berserk Godslash.

This… was that a soul skill?

Yes, that was He Caitou’s fifth soul skill, Invincible Barrier Golden Cigar. His cigar was his auxiliary martial soul, and even his companions weren’t that willing to use it. But everything changed when his fifth soul skill appeared.

This Invincible Barrier Golden Cigar’s existence was far too invaluable for a food-type soul master. The Tang Sect had kept this a secret in the tournament, all the way until now.

With this soul skill around, the Tang Sect didn’t have to create any more Invincible Barriers. He Caitou’s current cultivation meant he could maintain his Invincible Barrier for seven seconds when he was using his fifth soul skill to defend himself. Furthermore, the soul power that was consumed during these seven seconds was from the soul skill, and he didn’t have to expend any more of his own soul power to maintain it. This effect was a lot better than the Invincible Barriers created by soul tools, but the regrettable thing was that this Invincible Barrier Golden Cigar would only exist for two hours after it was crafted. A lot of soul power was required to craft one, and this was the reason why He Caitou was the only one who would use it in combat, even at a time like this.

But it was enough!
