In Douluo Continent, the Pope used me as a substitute for my first love.

Chapter 402 A Setback for the Seven Devils of Lake: The Royal Battle (Part 5)

"Eight Extremes Collapse!!!"

Before they even arrive, they make a striking first impression.

Just as Xiao Huohuo was about to reach Ning Qingyun, he seemed to have victory in his grasp, and he made a punch and roared.

A strong gust of wind nearby blew Ning Qingyun's hair, and she moved at the same time.

Ning Qingyun subtly shifted her body, her Xuan Tie sword suddenly swirling in her hand, and the strange phenomenon of water and cloud patterns spreading out around her.

Seeing this, Xiao Huohuo initially thought Ning Qingyun was going to confront him head-on, but then he noticed Ning Qingyun's change in footsteps. His gaze hardened, and a hint of mockery crept into the depths of his eyes.

Are you trying to dodge my Eight Extremes Collapse?

Do you think the Eight Extremes Collapse is so easy to dodge? Especially at such close range.

The thought flashed through Xiao Huohuo's mind. Without hesitation, he unleashed the Eight Extremes Collapse in an instant.

You hit it?!

Do not……

It hit it, but not completely.

Ning Qingyun looked at the aggressive Xiao Huohuo with a hint of surprise in her eyes.

The Flowing Water and Clouds Sword Technique, while not the most powerful of the seven sword techniques, is the most agile.

With the combined power of the Flowing Clouds Sword Technique and the Carefree Step, her original plan was to completely avoid Xiao Huohuo's Eight Extremes Collapse move, causing Xiao Huohuo's attack to miss, and then seize the opportunity to use the Flowing Clouds Sword Technique to counter-injure Xiao Huohuo.

Unexpectedly, we underestimated Xiao Huohuo's reaction speed...

boom!

The blade of the Xuan Tie sword should have grazed Xiao Huohuo's side, but instead it collided with Xiao Huohuo's fists.

Xiao Huohuo's pupils contracted.

Ning Qingyun was surprised, but he was completely horrified. He hadn't even seen how Ning Qingyun's figure changed, and she had disappeared right in front of his fists at the last moment. Fortunately, he reacted quickly and changed direction in time, which allowed him to use the Eight Extremes Collapse to intercept Ning Qingyun, who had somehow appeared beside him like a ghost.

He managed to intercept the sword, but at the cost of having his fists cut by the blade. In contrast, Ning Qingyun escaped unscathed.

Xiao Huohuo's Bajiquan Qi seemed to be neutralized by some invisible force brought about by Ning Qingyun's Flowing Cloud Sword Technique. Now, not only was Ning Qingyun not blasted away, but after reacting, she instantly changed her sword stance and launched a fierce attack on Xiao Huohuo.

"snort……"

After sustaining several cuts, Xiao Huohuo grunted, then, not to be outdone, a strange fire surged from his body. He dodged Ning Qingyun's fierce sword attacks while simultaneously retaliating with both hands and feet. A short while later, a giant fire wolf leaped out from behind Xiao Huohuo, howling as it charged towards Ning Qingyun.

Ning Qingyun frowned slightly, not expecting Xiao Huohuo to have such a "battle beast"-like method. She had no choice but to change her sword stance and deal with the reckless Xiao Huohuo and the giant fire wolf at the same time.

The current Xiao Huohuo reminded Ning Qingyun somewhat of the time when Ning Rongrong was in control of the body and fighting Ma Hongjun. However, Xiao Huohuo was clearly a super-powerful, enhanced version of "Ma Hongjun," with the strange fire burning on his body no less intense than Ma Hongjun's evil fire.

What allowed Ning Qingyun to breathe a slight sigh of relief was that Xiao Huohuo's flames were simply powerful, unlike Ma Hongjun's evil fire which was as persistent and difficult to deal with as maggots clinging to bones.

"Holy crap, that girl is amazing! Is she a Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Soul Master?"

"And he's a Soul Master, yet he possesses such exquisite swordsmanship at such a young age, and he can even fight a Soul Master of a higher level like this."

"I've been following that guy, 'Colorful Wolffire,' for a long time. He's a strong figure even among the Soul Masters!"

"Just you wait and see, the dazzling wolf fire's abilities are not limited to this."

"Hiss~ Is this still a support-type Soul Master? Holding off the strongest opponent all by himself?!"

"Defeating the enemies is the best way to support the team! (laughs)"

"6. Bro, top-tier Sister Li!"

"No wonder he's the captain..."

"..."

No matter what the audience was saying, the battle on the fighting stage never stopped.

After Ma Hongjun was eliminated first, Dai Mubai, who had been fighting alongside Yu Tianheng, became the target of the Royal Fighting Team's attack.

"Blanching..."

Unlike in the original story, Dai Mubai did not have Ning Rongrong's Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda to enhance his abilities. Even though Dai Mubai and Yu Tianheng were of similar talent, and there was only a one-level difference between them, he could only be defeated by Yu Tianheng's fierce attacks.

While hastily dealing with Yu Tianheng's thunderous rage using the White Tiger Vajra Transformation, Dai Mubai kept turning his head back. It wasn't that he wanted to be distracted in this battle where he was already at a disadvantage, but rather that he was wary of sneak attacks from other members of the Royal Fighting Team.

No sooner said than done.

Having firmly gained the upper hand, Yu Tianheng unleashed a Thunder Dragon Claw attack during the battle, catching Dai Mubai off guard.

At the same time, behind Dai Mubai, the Ghost Leopard Soul Master Osro quietly appeared.

"Mu Bai, watch out!"

"Tang San, send some hidden weapons to support Mu Bai!"

Not far away, Huo Yuhao, who was the core of the Shilaike Seven Devils in this team battle and needed to control the battle at all times, turned his attention away from Xiao Huohuo and Ning Rongrong, who were temporarily entangled together, and noticed Dai Mubai's crisis. He quickly reminded him through "mental sharing".

Upon hearing this, Tang San paused in his action of swinging hidden weapons. In this life, he hadn't been able to serve as the main Soul Master among the Seven Devils of Shilake, so he simply gave up and didn't prioritize the overall situation in team battles like he had in his previous life. His attention was now mainly on Xiao Wu, who had just eaten a Rapid Flight Mushroom Sausage from Oscar and then flew out to charge into battle again, facing off against Yu Feng from the Royal Fighting Team.

Tang San, of course, was constantly throwing hidden weapons to help Xiao Wu deal with Yu Feng from a distance.

At this moment, Shi Mo, one of the Shi brothers, held his shield to protect Ye Lingling as she moved forward. Ye Lingling, as the flag of the Royal Fighting Team, symbolized the entire Royal Fighting Team's approach towards the Shrek Seven Devils with every move she made. Shi Mo ran to Yu Feng's side to help him block Tang San's hidden weapons.

Tang San stopped moving and turned around. Shi Mo, who had been facing Tang San from a distance, sensed something was wrong. Following Tang San's gaze, he quickly noticed the battlefield on Dai Mubai's side.

"Hmph, you want to go and provide support over there?"

Shi Mo glanced back at Yu Feng and Xiao Wu, who were currently locked in a fierce battle above the Soul Arena, then strode forward, shield in hand, towards the nearby battlefield. Clearly, he intended to intercept Tang San's hidden weapons, creating an opportunity for his teammates to eliminate Dai Mubai, a formidable enemy.
