"It's really too tragic,"
Qin Xiao was in an excellent position, just able to see both sides of the ice wall clearly, including both competing teams.
Compared to Ma Xiaotao fighting against three alone, Beibei, Xu Sanshi, Jiang Nannan, and the other six were struggling against just two opponents and were being brutally overpowered.
They saw the direct-attack class Soul King from the Sky Soul Team sprouting long black hair all over his body, his arms hanging down to his knees, standing over two meters tall.
He was essentially a humanoid explosive ape.
His fists, bigger than a clay pot, were pummeling Xu Sanshi until he was coughing up blood.
"We can't hold on, we just can't hold on."
As Xu Sanshi spat out blood, he muttered, "Can any of you think of something? You're not really planning to just watch me get beaten to death, are you?"
"Xu Sanshi, stop your damn whining. Do you think our situation is any better than yours?"
Jiang Nannan snapped back angrily.
Indeed, their situation was not good.
The agile-attack class Soul King, who could merge with shadows, was not easy to deal with.
He alone had Beibei, Jiang Nannan, Wang Dong, Xiao Xiao, and Dai Huabin under control.
If anyone tried to leave and help Xu Sanshi, they would face a ferocious barrage of attacks from the Soul King.
If they moved as a group, he would choose to attack the weaker ones like Xiao Xiao and Wang Dong.
Only by sticking together could they ensure safety.
There was no other way.
Xu Sanshi would just have to suffer a bit longer.
"If it really comes to it, let's just give up."
Xu Sanshi was never the most reliable person, "The fact proves that we still have deficiencies, when the next Soul Master competition comes, we'll aim to shine."
"No! We can't give up!"
Suddenly, Ma Xiaotao's resolute voice came from the other side of the ice wall.
Upon hearing this, Xu Sanshi immediately shut his mouth, but his face looked as though he was wearing a mask of agony.
...
"Ma Xiaotao, I really don't understand what you're still holding on for?"
"At this point in the match, your Shrek squad has no strength left. Can't you see that?"
The Sky Soul Team Captain said helplessly while unleashing a palm strike.
"I, Ma Xiaotao, need not explain myself to anyone,"
Ma Xiaotao retorted, and with the same effort, she threw out a punch, clashing fiercely with the Sky Soul Team Captain.
She stood her ground unmoved, while the Sky Soul Team Captain staggered three steps backward.
This revealed a huge gap between their abilities.
Unfortunately, before Ma Xiaotao could press her advantage, the claws of the Green-Scaled Eagle Soul Master were already lunging towards her head.
Having no choice, Ma Xiaotao had to give up her assault on the Sky Soul Team Captain and focused fully on dealing with the Green-Scaled Eagle Soul Master.
"Ma Xiaotao, I know you are strong. But this is not a one-person kingdom, it's the glory of a group. Unless you are a Soul Sage or a Soul Douluo, there is no way you can defeat us,"
The Sky Soul Team Captain sneered coldly, "Your teammates are just too weak."
What he said was the truth.
Aside from Beibei and Xu Sanshi drawing a bit of fire, they were almost useless.
Otherwise.
They wouldn't be having such an easy time.
As if to confirm what he had just said, the moment his voice fell, Xu Sanshi's shout came from the other side of the ice wall.
Followed by the sound of something heavy hitting the ground.
Then, Ma Xiaotao could no longer hear Xu Sanshi's voice.
"Xiao Tao Sister, Sanshi has been defeated, and now we don't know if he's alive or dead,"
Beibei immediately responded. But, in the next moment, his voice too was accompanied by a scream, coming through.
Then, Wang Dong, Jiang Nannan, Xiao Xiao, Dai Huabin, and the others made their voices heard in turn.
But they weren't talking to Ma Xiaotao; they were discussing tactical arrangements.
"Beibei, Xu Sanshi is down, you've got to hang in there."
"Xiao Xiao, control them."
"Wang Dong, what are you standing there for? Are you watching the show?"
"..."
Hearing their words, Ma Xiaotao was frantic.
"All of you get out of the way!"
She roared in anger, her phoenix flame burning fiercely, concentrating a powerful strike and suddenly smashing the ice wall that divided the battlefield.
Her angry blow was so much more powerful than before, it was like the difference between heaven and earth.
Upon sensing the terror of the hit, the Sky Soul Team Captain promptly retreated.
"You were all so arrogant before, weren't you? Pressing down on me, where's your spirit now? Come on!"
Ma Xiaotao, undeterred, acted insanely ferocious.
The Sky Soul Team Captain cursed under his breath, insane woman.
"Let me at her!"
Suddenly, the Silver-Backed Rhino Soul Master's robust voice echoed in both Ma Xiaotao's and the Sky Soul Team Captain's ears.
Following that, his massive form inserted itself between Ma Xiaotao and the Sky Soul Team Captain, crossing his arms over his chest in a defensive stance.
Boom!
Ma Xiaotao's attack landed heavily on the Silver-Backed Rhino Soul Master.
Sparks flew.
Everyone saw a massive figure thrown backward like a punching bag.
Undoubtedly, it was the Silver-Backed Rhino Soul Master.
"How are you?"
The Sky Soul Team Captain hurriedly helped his lifesaving teammate up.
The Silver-Backed Rhino Soul Master grinned, "You know, Ma Xiaotao's attack is still pretty strong, despite my thick defenses, it really hurt."
"Did you get injured anywhere else?" the Sky Soul Team Captain asked with concern.
"Nothing but a bit of pain,"
The Sky Soul Team Captain snorted without amusement, "I think you're actually giving yourself a backhanded compliment about having high defenses, aren't you?"
"Not at all, not at all. I, old bull, am all about being realistic," the Silver-Backed Rhino Soul Master said with an awkward smile.
But, at the very next moment, he suddenly noticed a change in the Captain's expression.
Following the Captain's gaze, he turned to look.
He saw Ma Xiaotao gathering a great deal of Soul Power, and with a single punch, she shattered the ice wall that separated the battlefield.
