Every beam of emerald green light carried a breath of destruction.
Compared to the banquet of death unleashed by Poison Not Dead, the attacks from Yan Shaozhe, Elder Lin, Elder Song, Qian Duoduo, and Xian Lin'er were hardly worth mentioning.
Their defenses crumbled upon mere contact.
"My God, President Yan, transformed into the Phoenix, was actually repelled by one strike."
"The assaults from President Qian Duoduo and Vice President Xian Lin'er seemed just as futile."
"Look, isn't that cyan-colored divine eagle in the sky one of the Elders of the Sea God's Pavilion from Shrek Academy?"
In the academy, students closely watching the battle all wore expressions of shock.
The course of the battle was nothing like they had imagined.
The vision of many powerful figures from the academy joining hands to vanquish a mighty foe never materialized.
Instead, it was Shrek's many strong defenders who were collapsing in defeat.
Moo!
Just then, Xuan Zi transformed into the Gluttonous Sacred Bull and unleashed his strongest soul skill. Standing several dozen meters tall, like a wall, he positioned himself in front of everyone.
He valiantly withstood the assault from Poison Not Dead.
However,
due to several days of being hunted, he was far from his peak condition. After withstanding two blows, his body was already on the verge of collapse.
Boom!
Another attack fell, and Xuan Zi's Martial Soul True Body shattered on cue.
He plummeted from the sky like a sandbag.
"It's over!"
"Even the Elder of the Sea God's Pavilion, a peerless powerhouse rare on the continent today, is no match for him?"
Inside Shrek Academy, people truly felt what was called despair.
Boom, boom, boom.
At that moment, the remaining dozen or so unintercepted emerald beams fell like meteors, striking Shrek Academy's city walls and blasting huge gashes in the sturdy fortifications.
Moreover, Poison Not Dead's attacks contained toxins.
With a strong corrosive ability, they continuously enlarged the breaches in the walls.
"Hahaha, thrilling!"
"Without the old geezer Mu En, Shrek Academy is just a bunch of trash, so easily defeated!"
Seeing that he had almost single-handedly brought all the members of Shrek to the brink of annihilation, Poison Not Dead felt even more exhilarated.
"Poison Not Dead, don't get too... *cough cough*."
In front of Shrek City, Yan Shaozhe was supporting himself against a wall. However, before he could finish speaking, a surge of blood forced its way up, and amidst violent coughs, he spat out a large mouthful of fresh blood.
Compared to him, the others were not faring any better.
Qian Duoduo and Xian Lin'er had long since fainted on the city walls, their bodies radiating a green glow that was disturbing to behold.
It was clear that they were in a poor state and their lives could very well be in danger.
Elder Song was not far from Yan Shaozhe but, compared to Yan, his condition was even more dire. Lying on the ground, he bit his teeth and struggled repeatedly to stand up, but failed every time due to his severe injuries.
Elder Zhuang ceaselessly used his Martial Soul to treat Elder Lin.
As for Xuan Zi...
He had been given special attention by Poison Not Dead. While others bore only one attack, he had withstood several, and had been smashed from the ground into the earth below.
No one could see him anymore.
But, in the next moment, a deep voice suddenly resonated in the sky outside Shrek City.
"Poison Not Dead, do you think you are worthy of bullying the people of my Shrek Academy?"
The voice thundered, as loud as pealing thunder, full of immense authority.
Upon hearing it, Poison Not Dead's expression changed dramatically.
The smile on his face disappeared instantly, and his demeanor grew serious, as he was all too familiar with that voice.
Dragon God Douluo Mu En, he would never forget that name in his life.
"Mu En... I didn't expect you to still be alive?"
As he spoke, he released his spiritual power, spreading it out in all directions like a tidal wave.
To his surprise, however, he could not detect any trace of Mu En nearby. It was as if Mu En didn't exist at all, as though the voice had appeared out of thin air.
This time, Mu En did not offer any response.
"Old man, if you're not dead, then show yourself instead of playing god and ghost. What is this?"
However, in the face of Poison Not Dead's ridicule, Mu En remained unseen.
"Since you won't come out, don't blame me for this..."
Poison Not Dead's gaze turned cold, and he leapt up, smashing toward Yan Shaozhe below like a cannonball.
From his posture, he was determined to claim Yan Shaozhe's life!
"How presumptuous!"
Finally, Mu En's voice reverberated once more, with another thunderous shout.
He attempted to save Yan Shaozhe in this manner.
Unfortunately, the one wanting to kill Yan Shaozhe was the Sect Master of the Body Sect, one of the few great powerhouses on Soul Land, not someone who could be easily intimidated.
In fact, Mu En's words served only to further ignite Poison Not Dead's murderous intent!
"I said, stop!"
Suddenly, a figure burst forth from the earth and instantly appeared in front of Yan Shaozhe.
Upon recognizing the person before him, Yan Shaozhe was astonished and exclaimed, "Elder Xuan, you... you should get out of the way."
He hadn't expected Xuan Zi to selflessly throw himself in front of him.
But he was more aware that Xuan Zi was not a match for Poison Not Dead, and Xuan Zi's attempt to help could very likely cost him his own life.
Unfazed, Xuan Zi's pupils were filled with golden divine light. He clenched his right fist and threw out a punch, meeting Poison Not Dead, who was descending from the sky, in a head-on collision.
Under normal circumstances, Xuan Zi would never have been able to withstand this attack.
To everyone's surprise, Xuan Zi still stood firm in his spot, completely unharmed.
