Tang San is Poisoned

Tang San reattached the Blue Silver Grass to Ning Rongrong, pulling her back behind him.

On the Emperor Team's side, the Shi brothers acted first, removing their shirts and revealing their granite-like, solid muscles. As they released their martial spirits, their shoulders slowly leaned forward, and their backs arched. All the earth-yellow light of their soul power condensed behind them, forming a massive dark yellow tortoise shell.

The patterns on the shell were light yellow, and it seemed that even their skeletal structure changed as the shell appeared.

Not only did the tortoise shell appear on their backs, but it also covered their fronts. Their limbs shortened slightly, and there was a large symbol in the middle of the abdominal shield.

This was their martial spirit, the Black Turtle.

Faint blue light shimmered around them. Two yellow and one purple soul ring spiraled around their bodies. Since their bodies had enlarged with the appearance of the tortoise shell, the rings appeared somewhat deformed.

Closest to the Shi brothers was Dai Mubai.

The intense pressure Dai Mubai emitted was blocked entirely by the Shi brothers' martial spirit. It couldn't reach the other members of the Emperor Battle Team behind them.

Through the gap between the Shi brothers, one could see Yu Tianheng. As one of the top beast martial spirits, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon had already ignited the emotions of the VIP audience.

"Roar!"

With a fierce tiger roar, Dai Mubai charged toward the opponent first. His entire body was enveloped in golden light thanks to his White Tiger Body Barrier. His aura was intimidating, although his attire was somewhat off-putting.

The Shi brothers remained calm. Their first soul rings lit up simultaneously, and they rushed toward Dai Mubai side by side.

Dai Mubai stomped the ground, leaping up in the air. With Ning Rongrong's "First Soul Skill" and "Second Soul Skill" boosting him, his tiger claws extended, ready to strike.

"Die!" Dai Mubai shouted fiercely, aiming his claws at the Shi brothers' heads.

But the Shi brothers were prepared. Without hesitation, they withdrew their heads into their tortoise shells.

Dai Mubai's claws landed on the tortoise shell, creating sparks as they scraped across.

"Boom!" A loud sound echoed, and Dai Mubai was sent flying backward.

At this moment, Yu Tianheng had already activated his Lightning Dragon Claw, charging toward Dai Mubai.

Just as Yu Tianheng's dragon claw was about to strike Dai Mubai, none of the Shrek team seemed worried.

Tang San, standing beside Ning Rongrong, smirked inwardly. This was exactly the moment he had been waiting for. Since Zhu Zhuqing had occupied Zu Zong, he could execute the plan to trap Yu Tianheng. Once Yu Tianheng was dealt with, the rest would be easier, and they could gang up on Zu Zong.

However, reality was harsher than expected. Just as Tang San was about to use "Controlling Crane Catching Dragon" to pull Dai Mubai back, he realized the Blue Silver Grass tied around Dai Mubai's waist had suddenly lost control. He couldn't manipulate it at all.

"Damn, a mistake," Tang San thought. He didn't consider anything else since no one else had acted. The Blue Silver Grass was his martial spirit, and no one else could control it invisibly.

The consequences of Tang San's "mistake" were severe.

Yu Tianheng's powerful Lightning Dragon Claw struck Dai Mubai squarely.

"Boom!" Another loud sound followed.

The next moment, Dai Mubai's body flew like a kite with a broken string, slamming heavily into the arena floor. The impact created spider-web-like cracks in the ground around him.

"Ugh." Lying on the ground, Dai Mubai coughed up a mouthful of blood. If he hadn't used his "Third Soul Skill—White Tiger Vajra Transformation" at the last second, he would have been gravely injured or unconscious, rather than just suffering from a few broken ribs.

"Boss Dai!" Ma Hongjun and Oscar shouted in shock as they saw Dai Mubai coughing blood.

Barely standing, Dai Mubai waved his hand weakly and took out a recovery sausage Oscar had prepared beforehand, eating it to recover.

Thanks to Zu Zong's instructions, Yu Tianheng didn't push his advantage, retreating behind the Shi brothers after his strike.

The Shrek Seven Monsters' first strategy to lure Yu Tianheng into a trap had utterly failed.

Zhu Zhuqing, noticing that Tang San's Blue Silver Grass hadn't worked and that Dai Mubai was injured, asked, "Was that your doing?"

Zu Zong nodded. If anyone else had asked, he might have denied it, but there was no reason to lie to Zhu Zhuqing. He had secretly activated his Blue Silver Domain before the match began. 

As the owner of the Blue Silver Emperor martial spirit, Zu Zong could easily control a strand of Tang San's Blue Silver Grass without much effort.

With Zu Zong admitting to it, Zhu Zhuqing didn't say more. She was only following the Shrek team's plan to hold him off. She didn't intend to mix personal feelings into this battle.

"First Soul Skill—Hell Rush Stab!"

"Second Soul Skill—Hell Hundred Claws!"

While Zhu Zhuqing fought fiercely, things were going poorly for Tang San and Dai Mubai.

With Dai Mubai injured, Shrek had lost their strongest offense, putting them at a significant disadvantage.

Yu Tianheng, backed by the two top-tier defense soul masters, the Shi brothers, was nearly impervious to attacks from Dai Mubai, Meng Yiran, and others. And Tang San didn't dare use his third soul skill lightly due to its high soul power consumption.

As Zu Zong dodged Zhu Zhuqing's attacks, he saw that things were progressing as planned and prepared to subdue her.

He released his Blue Silver Emperor vines, which shot out from all directions to entangle Zhu Zhuqing.

Ma Hongjun wanted to release his Phoenix Fire Line to rescue her, but Tang San stopped him. Dugu Yan had launched a new wave of attacks, and the area of effect was massive.

Yu Tianheng and the Shi brothers had already retreated to their side, following Dugu Yan's signal.

"Third Soul Skill—Jade Phosphor Violet Poison!"

At that moment, although Qin Ming had instructed them not to use lethal force, since Zu Zong said the enemy could counter the snake venom, Dugu Yan didn't hold back. With a piercing screech, her third soul ring lit up.

Her originally green eyes turned completely violet, and even the green scales on her snake tail glowed with a faint purple light. She opened her mouth, spewing thick purple mist, which spread rapidly toward the Shrek team.

At the same time, she threw the purple iron ball.

Tang San smiled as he saw Dugu Yan's snake venom approaching. He had been waiting for this moment for so long. Although their first strategy had failed, once they neutralized the poison, they could go all out.

As in the original plan, Tang San tossed two large skins of realgar wine. Dai Mubai used "White Tiger Light Wave" to burst them into mist, and Ma Hongjun followed up with Phoenix Fire Line, igniting the realgar wine. Everything proceeded smoothly, and the Jade Phosphor Violet Poison was neutralized.

"Your snake venom is nothing. If it were the Jade Phosphor Five Pois—"

Before he could finish his boasting, Tang San suddenly felt dizzy, and his vision began to blur...
