Douluo Continent, I, Huo Yuhao, defy fate with my spiritual eyes.

Ma Xiaotao narrowed her eyes dangerously, her mockery unabashed.

"Little Ling, even though your martial soul has now transformed into Ultimate Ice, you're still too green to give me a good spanking!"

The two women stared at each other, their gazes almost sparking a flame.

Chen Zifeng and the others wisely kept quiet and didn't dare to interrupt.

Before this, the two women had been at odds because their martial souls were incompatible. However, one had an ultimate martial soul that completely suppressed Ling Luochen, and the other had a cold and indifferent personality, so nothing serious happened.

However, Huo Yuhao's Ice Emperor Cold Shadow was too powerful, exceeding the level of ultimate ice.

With the blessing of the power, although Ling Luochen's level is not as high as Ma Xiaotao's, the quality of his martial soul is comparable to Ma Xiaotao's Evil Fire Phoenix.

Now that the two camps are locked in a fierce confrontation, Ling Luochen has also gained the courage to stand up to Ma Xiaotao.

"Then let's give it a try!"

Ling Luochen swiftly swung his ice staff downwards, and the chilling icy mist enveloped Ma Xiaotao once again. This time, Ma Xiaotao's Phoenix Fire could not quickly melt the icy mist.

The air condensed into icy mist, spreading all around and obscuring the view. The extreme cold of the icy mist also froze the menacing evil fire phoenix, and the crimson flames shrank in size.

Seeing that the attack was effective, Ling Luochen's pursed lips curled into a smile, and he pressed his advantage.

"Third Soul Skill, Ice Prison!"

With another flick of the ice staff, the icy blue cage, taking advantage of the frozen landscape, rapidly expanded, firmly sealing the confined Ma Xiaotao within.

Inside the ice prison, Ma Xiaotao gently stroked the ice prison, feeling the temperature inside. The evil fire that had grown inside her body during the intense battle was actually dissipating.

The ultimate spirit, the ultimate ice, even the Ling Luo Chen you've blessed can dispel my evil fire.

Yuhao, oh Yuhao, ever since you appeared, it seems my lustful desires have no problem!

Ma Xiaotao's eyes were complicated, and she didn't move for a moment.

In the eyes of the group, this was almost a sign that Ma Xiaotao was beyond saving.

Ling Luochen held up his ice staff and laughed triumphantly.

"How are you, Sister Tao? Are you desperate?"

Ma Xiaotao raised her eyes, her pink eyes brimming with fighting spirit, and her red lips parted slightly.

"Is that all?"

The next moment, the Fiery Phoenix shone brightly, as if it were reborn from the ashes in the snow.

"Fifth Soul Skill, Ring of Ice!"

A shimmering ring of light condensed from all directions, centering on Ma Xiaotao, freezing and immobilizing her movements.

"Fifth Soul Skill, Phoenix Piercing Clouds Strike!"

With a flap of its powerful, fiery phoenix wings, the meter-long wings shot straight into the sky, breaking through all the ice and standing tall in the air.

"That's it, you can't win. You've already gotten pretty strong by now! But I'm Ma Xiaotao, a nearly level 70 Evil Fire Phoenix!"

She shouted, and the Phoenix Fire Lines plummeted downwards like they were free, creating an effect similar to a Phoenix Meteor Shower.

Chen Zifeng wielded the Soul-Chasing Sword in one hand, sweeping across the fire lines, and occasionally taking the time to support Huo Yuhao and the others.

Although everyone else was trying to help Huo Yuhao resist the Phoenix Fire Line, Huo Yuhao was ultimately only at the third ring cultivation level.

Moreover, Ma Xiaotao was focusing her attention on Huo Yuhao, and the number of firefights he faced was the same as the combined firefights faced by the other three.

Feeling that his soul power was almost depleted, and seeing Ma Xiaotao's heroic act of suppressing four people in the sky all by herself, Huo Yuhao was about to shake his head and admit defeat.

Looks like I can't beat Sister Tao. The peak Soul Emperor is indeed incredibly strong. I'm going to be tormented by Sister Tao for a long time tonight!

and many more……

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration struck Huo Yuhao. His Breaking Illusion Soul Skill seemed to sense something and subconsciously activated Natural Deduction.

Ma Xiaotao's cultivation level...

Approximate number of Phoenix Fireline units...

Natural healing and support for Soul Masters...

The use and continuous activation of other soul skills...

The time I usually spend training and sparring with Sister Xiaotao...

Based on all the information, a bold idea popped into Huo Yuhao's mind.

Damn, Sister Tao seems to be exhausted too!

The omniscient perspective is shifted, focusing on Ma Xiaotao, especially some details.

Sure enough, Ma Xiaotao's hands trembled slightly, a subtle, uncontrollable tremor, a physical reaction caused by the depletion of her soul power, as well as muscle tension due to her mental strain.

Huo Yuhao laughed, a smug laugh.

She's gambling, gambling that we'll lose hope under her continued suppression and give up on our own!

That's a really bold idea, and it also shows great acting skills and mental fortitude.

If I hadn't had a close relationship with Ma Xiaotao, I would have almost been fooled!

Too bad, Sister Tao, I've seen through your trick!

Huo Yuhao felt smug, and a smile curled up at the corner of his mouth.

"Damn it, this is impossible to fight! Dean Cai, Sister Xiao Tao alone can take on all of us, there's no fairness at all!"

Xu Sanshi grinned, as he was the second weakest person present, and his martial spirit was perfectly countered by Ma Xiaotao, making the fight extremely difficult.

Seeing that they were showing signs of surrendering, Ma Xiaotao, despite her depleted soul power and nearly exhausted mental energy, forced out her soul skill and tried to persuade them to surrender.

"Still not giving up?! Then don't blame me for disregarding team spirit and going all out!!"

Thanks to Huo Yuhao's repeated displays of divine power, Ma Xiaotao seemed to have built up some resistance; otherwise, she wouldn't have been able to endure this feeling of weakness.

As fire rained down, it was incredibly difficult for everyone to resist, so they instinctively huddled together for warmth.

At this point, the drawback of Chen Zifeng's weapon spirit became apparent, as its short attack range made it difficult to deal with ranged attacks.

Fortunately, Ling Luochen's strength had improved considerably, and the rings of ice and the ice mist gave the group a chance to catch their breath.

Xu Sanshi, holding up his large shield, watched as the powerful barrage of fire pressed down, then turned away with a pained expression, wanting to discuss surrendering with the others.

"Brothers and sisters, you've all seen it. Sister Tao's offensive is relentless. She could probably kill us all and still have energy left. Maybe we should just surrender? A sneak attack means we've already lost half the battle!"

He rattled off a bunch of things, and what he said made sense, while the others looked thoughtful.

Huo Yuhao tugged at his sleeve, signaling Xu Sanshi to come closer. Although he didn't know what to do, Xu Sanshi still moved closer.

While gathering the people around him, he also resisted Ma Xiaotao's attacks, which were now mixed with Phoenix Roaring Strike, making it increasingly difficult to defend.

Huo Yuhao whispered his findings and speculations to the others.

They all looked thoughtful.

Damn it, why haven't they surrendered yet??

Ma Xiaotao cursed inwardly, but dared not stop her hands for a moment.

What did Huo Yuhao say this time? Just surrender already, I really can't hold on much longer!

Seeing that everyone looked thoughtful, Ma Xiaotao was pleased, thinking that they were considering surrendering.

"Aren't you going to surrender?"

Under repeated questioning, Ma Xiaotao became even more ruthless.

However, it was this action of hers that led to the complete discovery of her weakened state.
