Chapter 260: Fierce Battle
“Good!”
Taking the Peacock Plume from Tang San’s hand, Liu Erlong and Qin Ming stood at the very front.
Their gazes directly locked onto the several Soul Douluo on the hill; this would be a difficult battle.
“Maintain formation, don’t get disordered!”
With Ling Mo absent, Tang San took on the tactical command of the Shrek Seven Devils. The eleven surrounded in a group, protecting Oscar and Ning Rongrong inside.
Liu Erlong and Qin Ming stood at the very front.
“Ants Shaking a Tree, courting death, charge…”
From the hill, that black-clothed man gave the order, and hundreds of black-clothed people rushed down.
Among them, many had soul power that merely reached Level Thirty, a small portion reached Level 40, and there were a few over Level Fifty.
Apart from the remaining three Soul Douluo, there were no other experts present.
“Qin Ming, protect the children well!”
Liu Erlong shouted loudly, directly activating Martial Soul True Body, charging straight at that one Soul Douluo.
The Peacock Plume activated instantly, but since it was her first time using it, she didn’t hit, though it forced one back.
The other two directly flanked over, preparing to give her a pincer attack.
“Don’t get entangled in battle, deal with those kids first…”
The one who was forced back shouted loudly. The three stood in a row, with only one charging straight at Tang San and the others.
“Come well! Let you taste the power of Tang Sect Hidden Weapons, activate…”
The black-clothed people coming from all directions pounced like ferocious tigers.
Tang San sneered continuously, instantly triggering the Peacock Plume. With a whoosh, eleven Peacock Plumes activated simultaneously.
The sound of steel needles piercing the air was extremely piercing. With a bang of explosion, the dozens at the front were directly blasted to ash.
“What terrifying power. Xiao Mo has this treasure and didn’t bring it out earlier…”
Everyone was overjoyed. The strike effect from this one launch was even more terrifying than the Martial Soul Fusion Skill they had secretly cultivated.
“Naturally, this is the Peacock Plume…”
Tang San sneered. No one believed more in the power of Tang Sect Hidden Weapons than him; this was a kind of pride.
“Charge! Let them witness our prowess…”
The Peacock Plume frequently activated, targeting a direction to directly shoot to kill a swath.
However, after two waves of shooting to kill, those people had developed fear in their hearts and were prepared, so they didn’t dare approach.
“Everyone be careful, the thing in their hands is very strange! Don’t attack rashly…”
With one wave of attack failing, the leading Soul Douluo directly stepped forward.
“I want to see just what abilities you have!”
No sooner had the words fallen than he directly activated Martial Soul True Body, and a Great Golden-Winged Bird appeared accordingly.
“Bad! Everyone, don’t scatter…”
This was a Soul Douluo. Although they had the Peacock Plume, it was still hard to injure him.
If Liu Erlong of that level used the Peacock Plume, the power could indeed directly and decisively deal with the opponent, provided it hit.
But their highest soul power was only Level 44. Relying on a Soul Sect’s soul power to use it made it hard to deal a fatal blow to him.
“Since you’re determined to court death, I’ll fulfill you…”
That Soul Douluo roared in anger, and a beam of light smashed directly over.
At this moment, Qin Ming suddenly appeared at the front of the team. In his Martial Soul state, he flickered with faint firelight.
He fully urged the Peacock Plume, instantly launching one that directly erupted with terrifying deterrent force.
The steel needles pierced through, viciously stabbing into that Soul Douluo’s chest.
“Senior Brother Qin Ming!”
Only then did the crowd react—they still had a Soul Emperor level expert, which was Qin Ming.
Although his soul power was inferior to the opponent, with the Peacock Plume, he could block the opponent’s attack.
In that instant just now, Qin Ming suddenly struck, catching the opponent off guard. The steel needles directly embedded into the body.
What awaited him was only death!
That Peacock Plume’s deadly poison was incomparable; no one could withstand the Peacock Plume’s deadly poison—not even Dugu Bo might be able to.
The only one who could truly withstand it was Ling Mo, because of the immortal grass he had eaten earlier, which gave him deadly poison antibodies.
“Damn you! You’re courting death…”
After taking one needle, that Soul Douluo was furiously enraged and was about to circulate his energy.
“I think the one courting death is you!”
Tang San sneered. He didn’t make a move but coldly looked at that Soul Douluo.
“You think a tiny needle can take my life? Overestimating yourself…”
Before the words finished, he suddenly felt a stab of pain in his body. “What…”
Amid the miserable scream, his face turned ashen, his whole body blackening.
“Too naive! This steel needle contains over a hundred kinds of deadly poison, each instantly lethal.
I don’t know who gave you the confidence not to circulate energy to suppress it and even try to mobilize soul power…”
Tang San sneered. He knew all too well the power of the Peacock Plume’s deadly poison—it was a level higher than the King of Hell’s Invitation.
Even just the King of Hell’s Invitation could take Shi Nian’s life; this Peacock Plume could also take this Soul Douluo’s life.
With a miserable scream, that Soul Douluo’s face blackened, and he collapsed to the ground.
“Lord…”
A group of black-clothed people surrounded over, their hearts filled with extreme panic.
Even a Soul Douluo fell to them—what exactly was that small box in their hands to be so terrifying.
Bang…
Suddenly, a loud bang came from the nearby hilltop. Flander was struck from the air and smashed heavily onto the ground.
“Dean!”
The crowd was greatly shocked, their earlier joy turning directly to worry.
“Don’t come over!”
Flander shouted loudly, activating Martial Soul True Body once again and continuing the fierce battle high in the air.
Boom…
At this time, the canyon passage nearby was opened, and three familiar figures walked out from inside.
“Dragon Duke Snake Dowager?”
Tang San, who was watching, discovered them and recognized them.
Exotic Beast Academy had been ahead of Shrek Academy. When the passage was blocked, Tang San had seen them.
He hadn’t expected them to finish the battle so quickly and even come to provide support.
“Bullying children, what kind of skill is that? Come play with this old man.” An aged voice rang out, a gentle aura enveloping the Shrek Seven Devils.
The pressure from the Martial Soul True Body instantly lightened. Several people looked toward the direction of the voice with relief.
In the air, of the two entangled Soul Douluo, one came down, charging straight at Tang San and the others, but was blocked by Meng Shu.
“Meng Shu! You’d best not interfere in this matter.”
Dragon Duke smiled faintly. “You’re the ones causing trouble, not me! My granddaughter is also among the competing students this time.
Do you think I would disregard her safety? I didn’t expect you to become bandits too—truly gratifying!” His words were full of sarcastic meaning.
They know each other?
The Shrek crowd exchanged glances. It seemed Meng Shu knew these people’s origin and was acquainted with several of the Soul Douluo among them.
“Hmph, you dare wade into this muddy water?”
That Soul Douluo roared in anger.
“Why not? This time, you’re targeting the entire Heaven Dou Empire, Upper Four Sects! The consequences are what you should consider, not me…”
Meng Shu said sarcastically, his eyes full of disdain. To deal with this Soul Douluo, he didn’t even need to team up with Snake Dowager.
