Chapter 26: Xiao Wu Delivers Herself To Defeat
“Music!”
Meng Huaifeng snapped his fingers, and an exciting war song rang out. The two’s strength greatly increased, with a comprehensive enhancement of thirty-nine percent.
Then Meng Huaifeng held the Ji Yun Spear that March 7th had made for him out of ice during the preparation time, the same model as Dan Heng’s, and charged toward the similarly charging Xiao Wu.
“Meng Huaifeng’s Martial Spirit has started playing music. If there’s no accident, this should be a team-wide amplification Soul Skill, so the mobile phone is a support system Martial Spirit. Wait, Meng Huaifeng is charging forward! Isn’t he a support system Spirit Master? As everyone knows, support system Spirit Masters are no match at all for attack system Spirit Masters who are ten or twenty levels lower than them. It’s over. Next, Miss March 7th is likely to face a one-versus-two…” The host began his passionate commentary.
Behind Xiao Wu, Tang San’s Blue Silver Vines followed closely, winding forward like countless venomous snakes.
“Ice Seal Ten Thousand Miles.”
March 7th somewhat stiffly unleashed her second Soul Skill. Piercing ice rapidly overtook Meng Huaifeng.
March 7th’s Six Phases Ice had a magical property: arrows condensed from Six Phases Ice attacking a shield formed from Six Phases Ice would result in nothing happening.
This characteristic still existed now. As long as teammates had the shield from March 7th’s first Soul Skill, her other Soul Skills would not affect her teammates.
In other words, March 7th could use large-area attack Soul Skills without restraint, without worrying about accidentally injuring teammates.
In the instant that the ice was about to freeze Xiao Wu, Xiao Wu’s third Soul Ring flashed, and her entire body instantly vanished, appearing out of thin air behind Meng Huaifeng.
Although Meng Huaifeng’s energy was restricted to Soul Venerable level thirty-nine, his enhanced body could not be restricted. His sharp perception allowed him to thrust a back-swing spear strike toward his rear.
Xiao Wu’s body was truly very soft. She easily twisted into a posture that Meng Huaifeng could never achieve, dodging this killing move.
Xiao Wu pressed down on the spear shaft and used the force to leap up, kicking a foot toward Meng Huaifeng’s chin.
Meng Huaifeng had March 7th’s shield on him, so even taking Xiao Wu’s attack head-on would be fine, but he hadn’t forgotten Dan Heng’s advice. He was here to improve his combat experience, not just to win.
So Meng Huaifeng lifted the spear tail and used the spear shaft and his arm to entangle Xiao Wu’s small foot, then viciously flung her out.
Xiao Wu’s body spun several times in the air before rolling onto the ice surface.
Xiao Wu quickly stood up and glanced at her right hand. The palm that had pressed on Meng Huaifeng’s spear shaft was already somewhat frostbitten, slightly bluish-purple.
Waves of cold air came from underfoot, making people’s senses numb and reactions sluggish. If it lasted long enough, they would probably completely lose sensation.
More importantly, the smooth ice surface severely restricted Xiao Wu’s movement and exertion of force, but had no effect at all on Meng Huaifeng who had a shield!
Yunqi Spear Technique was unleashed one by one. Xiao Wu instantly fell into a disadvantage, only able to barely dodge.
On the other side, Tang San had not yet consumed the immortal herb at this time, so Blue Silver Grass had not yet gained ice-fire immunity.
So his Blue Silver Grass was immediately frozen by March 7th’s Soul Skill, stopping its rolling. The plants’ toughness vanished completely, and they would shatter into pieces upon any external force.
“Damn it!”
Tang San cursed inwardly. He was increasingly feeling the limitations of the Blue Silver Grass Martial Spirit. To become stronger, he couldn’t rely on Blue Silver Grass at all; he still had to count on his own Tang Sect secret arts.
Tang San leaped high to avoid the strongest first wave of Ice Seal Ten Thousand Miles, then used Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track to charge toward Meng Huaifeng.
Even though Tang San’s movement technique was very advanced, the smooth ground still had a great impact on him. Fighting in this terrain was extremely disadvantageous for them!
“Xiao Wu, he’s mine. You go deal with the control system Spirit Master!” Tang San immediately made the decision.
With that, Tang San unleashed his third Soul Skill, Spider Web Binding. A spider web formed from Blue Silver Grass came down over Meng Huaifeng’s head.
“Got it, Third Brother. You be careful.” Xiao Wu targeted March 7th.
March 7th raised her small hand, and an ice spike flew toward Xiao Wu. This was the means of a magic master!
Meng Huaifeng thrust his spear at the spider web. The web had just entangled the ice spear when it rapidly began to freeze. With a shake of Meng Huaifeng’s long spear, the web turned into countless ice crystals and scattered.
In front of March 7th’s Six Phases Ice, Tang San’s Blue Silver Grass was simply as fragile as a toy!
“Mysterious Jade Hand!”
Tang San’s hands turned jade-colored, grabbing toward Meng Huaifeng’s long spear.
Meng Huaifeng, who had preliminarily learned Yunqi Spear Technique through clones, was no longer comparable to yesterday’s wild sword swinging.
With superhuman five senses and reaction speed, plus March 7th’s terrain advantage, even though Meng Huaifeng had restricted his strength, he actually successfully suppressed Tang San!
Of course, Tang San was no pushover. Unlike Xiao Wu who was powerless to counter, Tang San would occasionally throw out a hidden weapon, catching Meng Huaifeng off guard, then counterattacking with a few moves.
Fighting Tang San, Meng Huaifeng had to be on high alert with twelve times the spirit, always vigilant, or he could easily capsize and let Tang San turn the tables.
One part effort, one part gain. Meng Huaifeng’s combat experience was also rapidly progressing in the battle with Tang San.
March 7th had far more combat experience than Meng Huaifeng; she was just getting familiar with the new combat style.
If Xiao Wu couldn’t even beat Meng Huaifeng, how could she defeat March 7th?
March 7th was originally a bow and arrow user, now switched to magic master. Apart from the difference in attack method, it didn’t affect her kiting at all.
Under March 7th’s kiting tactics, Xiao Wu couldn’t touch her at all and could only be March 7th’s live target.
Speaking of which, the magic master’s normal attacks didn’t seem much different from a bow and arrow user’s. March 7th quickly adapted, and the ice spikes she released became more accurate each time.
If not for March 7th’s habitual mercy—not aiming at Xiao Wu’s vital points, only at her limbs—Xiao Wu would have been seriously injured long ago.
Even so, Xiao Wu was still cut by several ice spikes, her blood seeming to congeal, and her reactions growing slower.
“Can’t drag this out anymore; I have to go all out!”
Xiao Wu steeled her resolve and took an ice spike from March 7th head-on, finally closing to within ten meters of her.
“Teleportation!”
The distance closed another five meters.
March 7th was startled and couldn’t help widening her eyes, meeting Xiao Wu’s eyes exactly.
“Charm!”
Xiao Wu’s second Soul Ring suddenly lit up. Her eyes abruptly turned blood-red, staring straight at March 7th.
March 7th only felt her head slightly dizzy before recovering. Instead, it was Xiao Wu who softly collapsed onto the ice surface without even a hum, blood overflowing from her mouth and nose at the same time.
“Huh?” March 7th was puzzled and scratched her head. What just happened?
“Xiao Wu!”
Tang San’s roar rang out like his father had died.
“You dare hurt Xiao Wu? I’ll make you pay!”
Tang San seemed to still have some rationality; he didn’t say to make them die, only to make them pay.
