Chapter 59: Suppression

...

Killing the Soul Elder with one sword?

With ease and still having spare energy?

What Zhu Zhuqing said shocked Tang San and the others. With one sword, being able to kill a soul master of the same level, this was no ordinary strength. Able to kill with one sword, that was an absolute display of overpowering strength! Moreover, this is taking a life! Tang San had interacted with Zeng Yi before; he always had a smiling and amiable disposition. To be able to kill decisively like this, is he really that ruthless?

...

Inside the Spirit Arena.

Dai Mubai saw that Zeng Yi did not move and was the first to charge forward. He clenched his fist, creating a strong gust of wind that produced a series of explosions as it hit Zeng Yi.

Wanted to test it out? Since that's the case, I'll accompany you in some fisticuffs.

Zeng Yi didn't draw his sword and instead rushed towards Dai Mubai. He focused his gaze on the incoming fist, which grew larger as it approached. His right hand formed a palm, colliding with Dai Mubai's fist to block the attack.

Bang~

The collision between the punch and the palm produced a loud explosion that generated a strong windstorm around them.

But Zeng Yi wasn't just defending passively. He twisted his palm, redirecting the force of Dai Mubai's attack back at him. At the same time, his left foot swiftly swept towards Dai Mubai's waist.

Using my strength, I can counterattack with such precise control.

Feeling the powerful force transmitted through his arm, Dai Mubai couldn't help but panic. He wanted to counterattack with his own strength, but Zeng Yi didn't give him the opportunity.

So fast!

Unable to react in time, Zeng Yi's leg whip swiftly approached. Dai Mubai hurriedly retreated, dodging the attack, but his body was still injured by the force transmitted through his arm. His chest felt as if it had been struck hard, and he felt a burning pain.

He can multitask?

Dai Mubai widened his eyes in shock as he looked at Zeng Yi. Because the two attacks just now were launched simultaneously, he could only dodge one attack, but dodging one meant being hit by the other.

In their first encounter, Dai Mubai lost.

Not only Dai Mubai, but Tang San, who was watching from the sidelines, was also amazed by Zeng Yi's abilities. With his Purple Demon Eyes, he could clearly see Zeng Yi's method of attack. Using both palm strike and leg whip at the same time, this was clearly a demonstration of multitasking in combat. Being able to perform two different actions at the same time was a remarkably powerful ability—especially in battle. Using two different attack styles simultaneously was like having two people attacking one person, making it impossible to defend against.

This made Tang San's gaze shift to the longsword and long knife that Zeng Yi was wearing at his waist.

The attack of a knife is unparalleled, while the sword is swift and versatile. But Zeng Yi was wearing two weapons of different types.

Knife and sword, knife and sword.

With this thought in mind, Tang San's expression grew serious.

If that's really the case, then Dai Mubai is in real trouble this time.

"If you're not serious, you won't be able to defeat me!" Zeng Yi said lightly as he looked at the retreating Dai Mubai.

"Hahaha~ Indeed not bad. Your strength is truly formidable. From now on, I will show you my true strength!" Dai Mubai laughed loudly, his sinister gaze flickering with fervent battle intent as he looked at his opponent.

"White Tiger, possession!"

Dai Mubai shouted loudly, and as if hearing the roar of a crazed and overbearing tiger, a strong white light suddenly burst out from his body. His body began to undergo changes, his arms extending to the sides, chest protruding, bones cracking, muscles expanding, instantly filling up his shirt with well-defined muscles. The air around his body became restless.

His golden hair instantly turned into black and white streaks of long hair, and four black lines appeared on his forehead—three horizontal and one vertical—just like the forehead of a white tiger, forming the character (king).

The greatest changes occurred in his hands; his palms became large, with white fur covering them, and short claw-like blades protruding from his palms, gleaming with a chilly and eerie light under the lamp.

Dai Mubai's eyes, previously sinister, now turned deep blue, giving off the feeling of a ferocious killing machine, cold and icy. Two yellow and one purple soul rings revolved around his strong body, radiating surging soul power that rushed towards Zeng Yi, imposing great pressure.

"Be careful!"

Dai Mubai warned as his figure rushed towards Zeng Yi like a fierce tiger, the gusts of soul power blowing Zeng Yi's long hair and green robe.

Without hesitation, Zeng Yi swiftly pushed back, acknowledging that Dai Mubai's physical strength was indeed great, but still not comparable to a soul master under the influence of a Martial Spirit. He didn't need to confront him head-on.

Quickly evading Dai Mubai's attacks, Zeng Yi grasped the hilt of Lan Jie at his waist, instantly unsheathing the sword. A faint blue sword energy howled towards Dai Mubai with amazing speed.

Draw Sword Slash!

After dodging Zeng Yi's attack, Dai Mubai instantly responded, unleashing his second soul skill against Zeng Yi.

His reactions were fast, but Zeng Yi's were even faster.

Forward Steps Slash!

At the moment Dai Mubai launched his fierce light wave, Zeng Yi utilized his first soul skill, the Forward Steps Slash, to evade his attack in an instant, leaving Dai Mubai's White Tiger Fierceness light wave in vain.

Such speed!

Just as his White Tiger Fierceness was about to hit Zeng Yi, Dai Mubai saw Zeng Yi suddenly disappear. He couldn't even capture Zeng Yi's movement trajectory. The speed was so fast that it seemed like an instant teleportation, completely silent. Dai Mubai's attack ended up in vain.

When he looked over, he found Zeng Yi standing twenty meters away from him.

This situation caused Dai Mubai's throat to tighten. With his sinister gaze firmly fixed on Zeng Yi, he became vigilant.

He was suppressed.

Yes, Dai Mubai was well aware of his current situation. From their initial collision, he could already see that he was being suppressed by Zeng Yi.

He still couldn't figure out what type of soul master Zeng Yi was. When they clashed head-on, he believed that Zeng Yi, like him, was a strong assault-type soul master. But now, Zeng Yi's speed displayed seemed to belong to an agile assault-type soul master. The speed was faster than any agile assault-type soul master he had ever seen, and his strength was able to contend with a top-ranked spirit master with a formidable beast martial spirit. What kind of monster was this person?

...

The main characters in the audience, including Tang San's group, were also stunned by the battle between their leader and Zeng Yi. The speed at which they fought seemed to be completed in an instant. From Dai Mubai launching his attack at Zeng Yi to their current standoff, it took only a few seconds.

"So strong! They are evenly matched!" Watching the battle, Ma Hongjun couldn't help but exclaim. This was the battle of top Spirit Elders, truly terrifying in their strength. He saw Zeng Yi unleash a massive sword energy in an instant, and then they collided suddenly. After that, Dai Mubai launched a wave attack, and then the two of them quickly separated. The whole process took only a few seconds.

"No! Dai Mubai is being suppressed by Zeng Yi!" Tang San stared closely at the two on the field, his eyes flashing with a mysterious purple light, his expression serious as he spoke in a deep voice.

Others may not know, but with his Purple Demon Eyes, he knew. From their battle up until now, Dai Mubai had already unleashed two of his soul skills. As for Zeng Yi, had he used any soul skills? Tang San was unsure. Was it that massive sword energy? Or was it that moving speed that he could only capture a trace of with his Purple Demon Eyes? Regardless, Zeng Yi was the one on the offensive, so he held the initiative.
