Chapter 174: You Can Say That with a Straight Face ?

...

The Shi brothers were stunned. The speed of this Blue Silver Grass Soul Master was terrifying! In the blink of an eye, he had flickered behind them.

Although their bodies were scratched by the sharp spear-like Blue Silver Grass, it didn't cause much harm or have any significant impact.

The two quickly reacted, their formidable soul power bursting out. They shattered the Blue Silver Grass under their feet, turned around to face Tang San, and condensed their soul power into their hands. Glowing lights flickered as their tortoise shell armors spun and attacked Tang San.

But at this moment, they felt something was wrong.

Their bodies became extremely hot, their breath started to become rapid, their heads felt heavy, and it seemed like the whole world was spinning around them.

Even their movements became slow, as if they were paralyzed, and their nerves started to slow down.

Oh no! They were poisoned!

The Shi brothers instantly realized the seriousness of the situation. Their vice captain was skilled in poison, so they naturally knew how potent it could be.

They glanced at the small wound on their arms, which had turned purple.

Was it because of those strange spider legs? They were poisonous!

The two were shocked! They didn't pay much attention to Tang San's Eight Spider Lances. They thought it was just a peculiar weapon, but they didn't expect that it was poisonous.

Moreover, the poison was incredibly strong! Within a breath's time, it made it difficult for them to even stand.

Their soul power couldn't suppress such a powerful toxin.

It's over!

The same thought popped into their minds.

They both collapsed, which meant that the Emperor Team had already lost.

Keep in mind, the opposing team was unharmed!

Seeing the two tortoise shell armors rapidly spinning and attacking him, a faint smile appeared on Tang San's face as his deep eyes glimmered with a purple light.

Tang San could clearly see that the spinning tortoise shell armors had slowed down.

Did the poison take effect?

The poison attached to the Eight Spider Lances truly didn't disappoint!

Because the Shi brothers exhausted all their soul power to suppress the poison, Tang San easily pushed aside the two tortoise shell armors with his Xuan Jade Hand.

Clang~

The tortoise shell armors fell onto the stone slab, turning into scattered particles. At the same time, the Shi brothers couldn't hold on any longer and fell to the ground.

At that moment, the Black Leopard Soul Master, Osler, who was bound by Tang San's Spider Web Restraint, came into play.

Tang San's third spirit skill, Spider Web Restraint, even if it were used on Dai Mubai, a top-level Spirit Master with the White Tiger Martial Spirit, it would take some effort to remove. As for Osler, who was only a thirty-sixth-level Agility Attack System Spirit Master, his attack power and soul power were lower than Dai Mubai's. Combined with the significant soul power consumption from the previous battle, he couldn't break free in a short period of time.

The Nine Heart Flowering Apple's spirit skill didn't have the ability to restore soul power.

During this period, Osler was kicked off the Spirit Arena by Zhu Zhuqing and was eliminated.

At this moment, there were only three members of the Emperor Team still standing on the Spirit Arena.

On the other hand, all members of the Shrek Team were still in the game.

Even with the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Martial Spirit of Yu Tianheng, they couldn't reverse the situation.

Because Dai Mubai, who was supported by the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Martial Spirit, had battle power equal to Yu Tianheng. It kept him occupied, preventing him from assisting other teammates.

They could clearly see victory or defeat.

"Shi Mo! Shi Mo! What's happening to you?" Yu Feng shouted anxiously while flying in the sky. Then, a surge of scorching energy came. He quickly waved his wings to dodge the fire attack.

He knew that the Shi brothers, who usually went unnoticed, had absolute strength. At level thirty-eight, they possessed the Black Tortoise, a top-tier defense martial spirit. Even their captain, Yu Tianheng, would only have a slight upper hand against them in battle.

However, never did he expect that the two would collapse.

Yu Tianheng was furious, and blue lightning crackled on his body. His soul power burst out, and a roar resounded across the entire arena.

~Ten Thousand Volts of Lightning!~

Blue Lightning transformed into dozens of Lightning arrows, wildly shooting towards the entire Shrek team, covering the sky like the end of the world.

But Dai Mubai wasn't at all weaker. A tiger roar echoed as a dazzling white energy wave spewed forth in the air, rushing towards Yu Tianheng.

~White Tiger Radiant Wave!~

Boom!

The two forces collided, causing a terrifying explosion. The energy storm shook the entire arena, and fierce winds began to howl as shockwaves rippled.

Yu Tianheng's Lightning attack not only targeted Dai Mubai but also the other members of the Shrek team. However, Xiao Wu, Ning Rongrong, Ma Hongjun, and Zhu Zhuqing had quickly eaten Oscar's flying sausage and swiftly flew high above the Spirit Arena. Tang San utilized Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track to dodge the Lightning arrows with ease.

The air flickered with lightning, and there was a burnt smell in the air. The dust was dispersed by the storm, revealing a clear view of the situation on the Spirit Arena.

Yu Tianheng was pushed back by Dai Mubai's attack by more than ten steps, while Dai Mubai only stepped back two steps. The outcome of this clash was obvious.

With Dai Mubai's auxiliary support, his battle power was no less than Yu Tianheng's. Moreover, White Tiger Radiant Wave was a single-target strong attack, while Yu Tianheng's Ten Thousand Volts of Lightning was a group attack. The collision of their powers clearly showed who was stronger.

This made Yu Tianheng's expression even more unpleasant.

The strength of these Shrek Seven Devils far exceeded his expectations. With the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Martial Spirit, which was supposed to be the number one Beast Martial Spirit, he was incredibly confident. However, their team captain, who possessed the battle power completely on par with his own, held him back and prevented him from helping his other teammates.

Helpless, he could only watch as his teammates were eliminated, feeling a sense of powerlessness and frustration for the first time.

"Tianheng! The Shi brothers have been poisoned!" Dugu Yan urgently appeared beside the Shi brothers. As he looked at the brothers with their purple faces, covered in cold sweat, trembling pale lips, and weak breath, as if they were candles flickering in the wind, he knew their lives could be extinguished at any moment.

"Don't waste your effort! The poison on my Eight Spider Lances can't be neutralized by anyone except me." Tang San looked at Dugu Yan taking out various bottles and vials from his body, attempting to detoxify the Shi brothers, and said indifferently.

"Surrender! Otherwise, I can't guarantee that their lives will last until the end of the battle."

"You despicable scoundrel! Using poison is shameless!" Yu Feng angrily cursed, and his soul power surged throughout his body.

These words made Tang San burst into laughter and said, "Your vice captain is someone skilled in poison, and you've won battles before using her poisonous mist skill. If it were any other team saying using poison is shameless, it might hold some weight. But coming from you, is that really appropriate?"

"You..." Tang San's words instantly shut Yu Feng's mouth.

After careful consideration, they really didn't have the qualifications to say that using poison was despicable.

This made him feel somewhat embarrassed.

"Make your decision quickly! Surrender? Or continue the battle regardless of your teammates lives?" Tang San said again.

However, his feet were trembling imperceptibly to ordinary people.

At this moment, he was also on the verge of collapse.

His cultivation had nearly reached its limit, despite the overall battle power of the Shrek Seven Devils being no weaker than the Emperor Team. The difference in soul power became more pronounced over time.

Tang San had used his third spirit skill multiple times consecutively, combined with the Eight Spider Lances. His soul power had already been depleted by half and was on the verge of running out. Now, he was only pretending to be strong and maintaining appearances.

And it wasn't just him; the others had used their soul power extensively, and it was running low for all of them.

Continuing the fight was dangerous.

Although this method forced the opponent to surrender, it was still unacceptable.

After all, this was just a Spirit Battle, and opponents shouldn't be harmed. If it were a true life-or-death battle, Tang San was confident he could kill all of them. However, with only the Blue Silver Grass martial spirit and the Eight Spider Lances, it was challenging to defeat them head-on.

Therefore, Tang San didn't think it was shameful because his strength was superior to theirs.

Yu Tianheng was filled with reluctance, clenching his fists tightly and biting his lips until they bled. His dragon eyes stared fixedly at Tang San, arcs of electricity jumping within them, revealing a sense of struggle.

Meanwhile, Tang San had a calm expression.

"Tianheng!"

Dugu Yan urged, causing Yu Tianheng to release his clenched fists, his expression somewhat dim.

"Emperor Team..."

"Surrenders."
