But, a scene nobody could have imagine occurred. What Tang San did proved that to Spirit Masters on the battlefield, victory didn't necessarily require relying on strength, but could be accomplished with wisdom and planning.
In an instant a figure appeared before Tang San like a moth drawn to a flame, directly hiding Tang San's shape, practically protecting all of Tang San behind him, if the tortoiseshell shields were to hit Tang San, then they first had to pass through this person.
The one suddenly appearing in front of Tang San wasn't a stranger, but Emperor Team's captain, Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Spirit Master Yu Tian-Heng.
How was it possible? This was the first thought that appeared in the minds of all members of the Emperor Team, immediately afterward, they clearly saw Yu Tian-Heng's current circumstances.
Yu Tian-Heng naturally wouldn't help Tang San block his teammates' attack, and even if he would, with his current condition, it wouldn't be possible for him to reach Tang San's side. But all this had already been planned in advance by Tang San, the foreshadowing was buried in the first opening moments of the spirit fight.
Yu Tian-Heng was completely entangled in Blue Silver Grass, forcefully pulled in front of Tang San to act as his meat shield.
Earlier when the two sides first clashed, Yu Tian-Heng had fallen into Tang San's schemes, when he suffered injuries under the Shrek Seven Devils' siege, at the start of that siege, when Tang San used Blue Silver Grass to bind him. Blue Silver Grass currently had three spirit rings, it also had three spirit abilities. Binding was no doubt the most practical, Spider Web Restraint naturally was the most potent. But, that unassuming second spirit ring ability shouldn't be neglected. The current scene was a direct result of Tang San's second spirit ring ability: Parasite.
Although Yu Tian-Heng had recovered his fighting strength under the assistance of Nine Heart Flowering Apple Xie Lingling's assistance, Blue Silver Grass' seeds had quietly been lodged on his body under the use of Binding, when the second spirit ability was launched, the parasitic seeds would follow Tang San's control.
When Tang San turned to launch his Spider Web Restraint at the Wind Chime Bird Spirit Master, he simultaneously secretly activated the Parasites on Yu Tian-Heng's body, using his Blue Silver Grass to forcefully pull him over in front of him.
Currently Yu Tian-Heng was really too weak, if he was in peak condition, he could struggle free of the Blue Silver Grass restraints without the need for Thunder Fury, but right now it was basically impossible for him to accomplish this.
Tang San grasped not only the situation on the battlefield, but at the same time the hearts of the opponents. With two lifetimes, he possessed not just the wisdom of thirteen years, rather the experience of almost forty. Even though Xiao Wu's injuries made him furious, with the disaster he encountered in Star Dou Great Forest he understood that anger basically couldn't settle the issue, only by maintaining a cool head for the moment would he be able to clearly see every change the narrow target of the battle.
If the two Black Tortoise Spirit Masters' tortoiseshell shields could only be thrown and not withdrawn, Tang San wouldn't have done something like this, when weakened Yu Tian-Heng only had the body of a normal person, basically insufficient to stop the Black Tortoise Spirit Masters' tortoiseshell shield attack, it would only be adding a life. But in the previous fight Tang San already clearly saw that their tortoiseshell shields could be withdrawn, and thus this scene appeared.
When the two brothers Shi Mò and Shi Mó were about to defeat Tang San, Yu Tian-Heng suddenly appeared, immediately turning the two pale with fright. Confronted by the body of their captain, they didn't even think about it. Exerting all their spirit power the forcefully pull the tortoiseshell shields to change direction.
But, in order to defeat Tang San they had attacked with full strength, the tortoiseshell shields were not only extremely heavy but even more infused with their enormous spirit power, how could they be withdrawn? The Black Tortoise Spirit Masters were admittedly powerful, but this pair of brothers were still far from the level where they could easily withdraw.
In the end the pair succeeded in breaking off the tortoiseshell shield attack, the four tortoiseshell shields brushing by a hair's breadth from Yu Tian-Heng, flying to either side. But using such strength made these two brothers' stomachs cramp, simultaneously spitting blood. And at this moment, a silhouette shot out from behind Yu Tian-Heng like a shooting star, in practically only a moment it was already in front of them. That was precisely the bloody-eyed Tang San.
Tang San's movements were extremely fluent, throwing Spider Web Restraint, dragging Yu Tian-Heng, immediately afterward, the Eight Spider Lances on his back simultaneously pierced the ground, supporting his body, the middle joints of the Eight Spider Lances bending simultaneously, again stretching out with full strength, their formidable flexibility sending out Tang San like a bolt of lightning.
Standing on the Shrek Seven Devils' side a satisfied expression flashed through Grandmaster's eyes, muttering to himself:
"Control the battlefield, control the team, control the enemy, control the heart. Little San, you have finally grasped the full meaning of the control system Spirit Master."
The instant Tang San used Eight Spider Lances to leap, he knew that this spirit battle was already finished. Losing the crucial protection of the tortoiseshells, even though the Black Tortoise Spirit Masters were two, how could they block Tang San's Eight Spider Lances?
The lustrous purple Eight Spider Lances extended in midair, sharp points like eight cold stars simultaneously thrusting at the Black Tortoise Spirit Masters.
Out of the tortoiseshells, their own spirit power lashing back, speed not being their expertise. The Black Tortoise Spirit Masters only had one method left to them, blocking.
The two roared loudly, fists swinging at Tang San in the air, spirit power bursting out, earthen yellow light soaring up.
The Black Tortoise Spirit Masters' spirit power was as heavy as their tortoiseshells, unfortunately, they didn't have the strength to truly concentrate their spirit power. Using spirit abilities, how could they still be in peak condition after consuming their spirit power.
Eight Spider Lances as an external spirit bone, once used, in itself had a fifty percent amplification effect on Tang San's attack power, it was also sharp like a spear. If they still had the tortoiseshells the two Black Tortoise Spirit Masters might still have been able to block it, but right now there basically wasn't enough time to recover their tortoiseshells.
Bright purple light pierced into the yellow concentrated spirit power and erupting in a chain of explosive sounds, the lustrous purple spider lance points basically didn't give the opponents a chance. Eight Spider Lances under Tang San's control, separately passed through the opponents' spirit power, piercing the Two Black Tortoise Spirit Masters' shoulders and arms. In the flickering purple light, Tang San didn't pause, his body flipping in the air, once again using Eight Spider Lances to shoot up, directly pouncing at the Jade phosphor Serpent Spirit Master Dugu Yan.
With a humming sound, the tortoiseshells each returned to the Black Tortoise Spirit Masters, in a flash becoming yellow light and merging into their bodies, but the two Black Tortoise Spirit Masters were no longer able to stand, purple qi welling out of their arms, the two simultaneously toppled, bodies spasming violently.
Eight Spider Lances possessed the extreme toxicity of the Man Faced Demon Spider that couldn't be compared to the supplemental poison on the Blue Silver Grass. Under the toxin of the Eight Spider Lances, even if the two Black Tortoise Spirit Masters' had even more powerful spirit power it would still be impossible for them to resist it.
Although they weren't stabbed in the vitals, right now their injuries were the most critical of the Emperor Team.
Watching the lustrous purple Eight Spider Lances descend from the air, Dugu Yan's eyes were filled with a fearful light, before the start of this spirit fight she had never thought her side could lose, but at this moment, facing Tang San, she already didn't have any desire for fighting.
Her most powerful third spirit ability had easily been broken by this man before her, she with poison for fighting strength, still had what qualifications to go on fighting Tang San? What she was capable of right now was only spitting out another cloud of poison mist, that's all.
The strange purple lustre on the Eight Spider Lances glittered, like all rivers running into the sea the violet poison mist Dugu Yan was doing her utmost to once again spit out unexpectedly frantically rushed towards the Eight Spider Lances, and in an eyeblink it was already swallowed up.
Four of Tang San's eight Eight Spider Lances stretched down to the ground, propping up his body, two of the other four easily piercing Dugu Yan's serpent tail, with an effort unexpectedly raising her into the air.
By now, all the Emperor Team members that could fight had already lost the capability to continue the battle.
Nine Heart Flowering Apple Spirit Master Xie Lingling's eyes equally revealed a panicked expression, although her Nine Heart Flowering Apple once again used its power, healing the injured Spirit Masters on their side, it was unable to recover the Battle Spirit Masters' expended spirit power, and even more unable to remove the terrifying toxin of the Eight Spider Lances.
"Put her down, we concede."
Yu Tian-Heng watched Dugu Yan raised up by Tang San's Eight Spider Lances, his heart abruptly contracting.
He clearly saw that not far from him lay the two Black Tortoise Spirit Masters whose arms had been hit, their arms having swollen up to twice their normal size, their faces covered with purple qi, seemingly on the point of dying.
The Spider Lances swung easily, throwing Dugu yan to the side. Tang San didn't pay any attention to Yu Tian-Heng, the four upper Spider Lances pointing in front of him, sharp points closing in on Nine Heart Flowering Apple Spirit Master Xie Lingling,
"Treat our people."
"Little San, first detoxify them."
Just at this time, Grandmaster's timely voice reached the baleful Tang San's ears, making him slightly distracted.
Eight Spider Lances would give Tang San strong evil tendencies, making his attacks become even more severe, unable to control his awareness. Hearing Grandmaster's words, the raging fury in Tang San's heart gradually calmed. Blue Silver Grass dispersed in all directions, simultaneously pulling the two Black Tortoise Spirit Masters and Dugu Yan towards him.
The reason Grandmaster reminded him this time was that he well knew the severity of Tang San's Eight Spider Lances' toxin, and that in such a tense battle Tang San clearly wasn't able to hold back.
If it had been just a little later, perhaps those three would have directly withered away from the poison, just like that tree the time they tested Eight Spider Lances in the grove.
