(nobody's POV)
So, yeah, he was not planning on being gentle with her. He was planning to be a damn sadist who will break her.
And that's why, he had told Zhuqing to not just make this a short battle. As for the reason why, because he was planning to have Huo Wu give it her all before he absolutely obliterate their team!
One of the keen attack soul masters went after Xiao Wu, while the other keen soul master and a guy who was able to shoot fireballs targeted Zhuqing.
But it's meaningless to mention that dodging their attacks or blocking them was easier than a walk in the park for her.
The only reason why she hadn't already gone all out and taken them out was because Ali asked her to do so.
Huo Wushuang and Dai Mubai also attacked each other, but their strength was nearly the same as they fought.
While Zhuqing was passive in her fight with the two soul masters, one of the auxiliary soul masters activated his soul skill :"third soul skill: Raining Sparks!"
A ball of fire exploded before sparks landed on the soul master attacking Zhuqing, amplifying his attack.
This time, Ali had actually tried to act according to a plan, unlike the previous battles where he would just body the opponents.
So Zhuqing wanted to let her lover have fun. That's why, she acted as if she was struggling a little with the battle.
And seeing this, the soul master with a fire leopard for a martial soul grew cocky as he attacked her again.
Back with Dai Mubai and Huo Wushuang, Dai Mubai was actually a little weaker than him. But this time, it wasn't just about power.
Dai Mubai was actually slowly moving back and leading Huo Wushuang back with him, leading him into a trap.
Finally, when Ali deemed it the right moment, he smirked as he grabbed Zhuqing and Dai Mubai's waist with his Majestic Purple Black Peony and pulled them back.
But unfortunately for Huo Wushuang, he had already been trapped and circled by Ali and his teammates :"yo, it seems like you're in trouble, brother Wushuang."
When the soul master with a leopard martial soul noticed, he immediately rushed towards them to help his captain, but Xiao Wu stopped him with a kick to the side which sent him flying :"I've been waiting for you!"
Ning Fengzhi in the audience raised an eyebrow :"oh? Xiao Ali actually used the same strategy as Xiao San?"
Yuehua who was sitting in another chair mused with a smile :"maybe he just wants to have fun. He has made it obvious in the previous matches that he wants to toy with his opponents."
Don't know what was going on in Ning Fengzhi's head, but he smiled at her :"oh? Seems like Ms Tang has paid attention to Xiao Ali."
Yuehua of course knew what kind of ambitious and smart ass this guy was, so she just shook her head with a gentle and polite smile :"him and his lover are the only soul kings between the teams, of course he would gather more attention.
But this strategy that was used by Tang San was able to win so many victories for Shrek school, I wonder what will happen when someone of Tang Ali's level uses it."
Dai Mubai, who had surrounded Huo Wushuang along with Ali, Huang Yuan and Tai Long, smirked as he activated his soul skill :"third soul skill: White Tiger Vajra Transformation!"
And immediately attacked Huo Wushuang along with Huang Yuan and Tai Long! Victory seemed to be at grasp, but a sentence suddenly escaped Huo Wu's beautiful mouth :"third soul skill: Repelling Fire Ring!"
A shocking scene suddenly happened, a fire tornado appeared around Huo Wushuang! Even though this fire tornado didn't bring them, it still threw all of them away!
Even though none of them were harmed, they were still thrown away, causing the formation and strategy to break.
Ali raised his eye brows with an impressed look as he whistled :"god dayum, this is one hell of a soul skill."
'if I remember correctly, this soul skill doesn't care about the level of the opponents, just repelles all of them. That's one hell of a defensive and controlling soul skill.'
The situation did a full 180, shocking everyone in the audience as this time, Ali was surrounded by Huo Wushuang and the three attacking soul masters.
Huo Wushuang folded his arms in front of his chest with a smirk :"seems like you're the one in trouble now, brother Ali."
Huo Wu also smirked smugly from where she stood :"Ali, you're the only one left now. You've fallen right into our trap."
But to their surprise, Ali actually smirked as he started clapping gently :"I gotta admit, I'm impressed.
Brother Wushuang pretended to be tricked so that he could lure Mubai and the others to attack him, just for you to use your Repelling Fire Ring to completely turn the situation around.
And now, all you have to do is attack me with all your strength. After all, if I'm taken out, the difficulty will go down like a bitch in heat. Good play."
Even though his sentence was quite vulgar, causing Huo Wu to blush slightly, she still ignored it as she snorted :"good job analysing it, but just knowing it doesn't mean anything now that you've been trapped. Go!"
The two auxiliary soul masters beside her jumped into the sky as they both used their third soul skills :"third soul skill: Raining Sparks!"
As the sparks landed on their four teammates, Huo Wushuang smirked :"it's overz brother Ali <I have the high ground XD!>! Third soul skill: Dragon's Rage!"
A phantom like Chinese dragons rose from behind him as he got on its head and flew towards Ali!
The other two keen attack soul masters also took action :"third soul skill: Flamingo Clone!" And two phantom like flamingos made out of fire floew towards him!
The leopard soul master also moved :"second soul skill: Seven Star Flame!" And multiple fire balls were shot at Ali!
But facing this many attacks, Ali didn't show any signs of fear at all. In fact, his signature smile formed on his face as he cracked his neck :"you think quantity is gonna overcome quality up in here?! Not when it comes to me, bitches!"
One of his red soul rings glowed as Ali snapped his fingers :"third soul skill: Majestic Purple Black Peony's Garden!"
And the moment it flashed, the entire battle field turned into a garden full of Majestic Purple Black Peonies!
But the weird thing is that, nothing else happened. Just a garden appeared, and nothing else.
No decrease in the opponents' attributes, nor was there a raise in Ali's own attributes. So the opponents took the risk and still continued their attacks.
The members of the Shrek school watched with nervousness, unlike Ali's lovers. They of course knew Ali's strength and trusted him, so they weren't like those idiots who jumped into actions and shit.
They trusted Ali and his strength, and they knew that Ali won't do something unless he is confident in winning and coming on top.
And they were correct, because once all those attacks landed on Ali, an explosion happened! But once it went away, Ali stood there without even a single scratch, as if nothing had happened.
They all watched in shock as Huo Wu stuttered out :"w-what?! How come you're unharmed?! Even if you're a soul king, you would still be injured from that many attacks!"
Ali chuckle deeply as he ran his fingers through his hair :"did you honestly think that my third soul skill just changes the view?
Well, let me explain. Majestic Purple Black Peony's Garden is my third soul skill which grows a garden as big as I want.
But what makes this soul skill very strong is that it's a defensive soul skill. When this soul skill is active, I can direct any attack into this garden, be it physical or elemental attacks! And obviously, I, and neither my teammates will be harmed at all."
Everybody but Ali's lovers looked at him with shock and surprise once he finished talking. After all, this is an AOE defensive skill!
Not only defending him, but also his teammates! This is an extremely powerful soul skill for a control branch soul master.
It's just like Huo Wu's Repelling Fire Ring, which allows her to repel all attacks no matter the level.
Huo Wu gritted her silver teeth as she clenched her fists :"t-this can't be..." Causing a chuckle to escape Ali's lips :"oh it can. And since you've had your turn, it's my turn to be on the offensive! Fourth soul skill: Majestic Purple Black Peony's Rage!"
The moment the words were out of his mouth, his fourth soul ring flew into the sky before countless petals began to fly down.
They didn't seem all that threatening, but all of the members of the Chi Huo school had a sense of crisis when they looked at the petals that looked just like Majestic Purple Black Peony's petals.
"By the way, I wouldn't recommend getting hit by any of these." Ali smirked at them as he snapped his fingers :"now, make it rain, baby."
The petals that were slowly falling, creating a beautiful scenery, suddenly rushed towards the four members that had surrounded Ali!
They tried to dodge and jump around so they won't be hit, after all, this is a soul skill of a century millennium soul ring.
But alas, how could they dodge when hundreds of petals that were like dust in the sky just kept attacking them?
When a petal finally contacted one of the soul masters, it immediately exploded! Causing the soul master to be shot away with obvious injuries!
But it didn't end there, the petals that were after him still followed him as they hit him one after the other and exploded upon contact.
The other three weren't much better either. all of them were struck by the petals and we're injured by the explosions.
And it seems like Ali had controlled it so they would be thrown to right where Huo Wu and the auxiliary soul masters were.
Huo Wu caught supported her brother as the auxiliary soul masters helped the others. Even though they were injured, Ali controlled it so they weren't too serious.
So they just got up with a little difficulty. But Huo Wu still glared at Ali :"you...! Hmph, you really are strong..."
Ali spread his arms with a smile as they hundreds of petals flew beside him like the Gate Of Babylon :"happy to hear that you've finally understood it. I was worried you wouldn't realize it."
"You...!!" Huo Wu glared at him while pointing at him angrily, causing Ali to chuckle :"why don't you use whatever move you have left now?
I was here originally to have fun anyway, so I might as well see what you have in store for me. Don't worry, I won't attack, so take as long as you want."
Huo Wu's beautiful face twitched as she glared at Ali :"you actually want to give us the time to prepare our attacks? Aren't you too cocky?" But Ali just laughed :"of please, don't call me cocky. I prefer your majesty."
Huo Wu snorted with an angry face as she glared at him :"fine then, I will make you regret your decision. Fourth soul skill: Fire Dance Dazzling Sun!"
A light blue and pink fire ball which was a bit bigger than a basketball appeared in front of before the auxiliary soul masters also activated their soul skills :"third soul skill: Raining Sparks!"
Gaining the support of two auxiliary soul masters, grew to a massive size of 10 to 20 meters as Huo Wu raised it so it would be on top of them!
With such a power, it's not an understatement to say that this soul skill could match up to a normal soul king's fifth soul skill. But unfortunately for her, she was facing Ali.
