The Invincible Toad Cannon, covering all Shrek members, became the key point that changed the course of the battle.
The old Xiao Hongchen didn't have such strong targeting ability, but now, with the enhancement of his Battle Armor helmet, his spiritual power had risen a level. Additionally, the core formation within his helmet corresponded to an auxiliary effect for locking onto enemies. He instantly activated and fired the Invincible Toad Cannon with zero frame start-up and completed the lock-on.
These were all cannonballs condensed from gathered Heaven and Earth Vital Energy.
However, due to the dual influence of his Spirit Skill and Battle Armor, they were temporarily converted into metal elements, then into a metallic form.
But because he was fighting the whole time, he didn't have the mental capacity to complete this conversion step thoroughly.
Simultaneously with the cannonballs hitting, the purely internal Heaven and Earth Vital Energy instantly blasted the outer metal casing to pieces, creating countless metal fragments that caused secondary damage.
At this moment, all members of the Sun Moon Imperial Team took a step back simultaneously.
Huo Yuhao inwardly thought, This is bad.
A Spirit Sage ambushing Spirit Emperors would inevitably cause serious injuries.
He didn't expect the injuries to be even more terrifying than anticipated.
Apart from Wang Dong'er, who narrowly escaped by flying, none of the other five were spared.
"Winter, Martial Soul Fusion Skill!" he shouted.
In the instant Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen's attention was diverted, Wang Dong'er transformed into a white lightning bolt.
Her Martial Soul had switched.
The abilities of her original Butterfly of the Light Goddess didn't seem to have dissipated either, preserved thanks to those wings. Simultaneously, a pitch-black hammer appeared in her hand.
Like a kite with its string cut, it spun rapidly on its own in mid-air.
But upon closer observation, one would find her target was very clear—it had always been Meng Hongchen.
With each rotation of her body, her speed increased, and the power of the Clear Sky Hammer in her hand grew by another layer.
Was this Chaotic Whirlwind?
No, technique-wise, it should be similar to Feng Xiaotian's Gale Demon Wolf Thirty-Six Continuous Slashes.
Watching Wang Dong'er's method, Su Ming felt somewhat speechless.
This was probably something Tang San managed to teach her, right?
Having stacked the force five times in mid-air, Wang Dong'er fiercely charged towards Meng Hongchen.
With her force stacking like this, five times was at least a fifty percent increase. Add to that her wings continuously stimulating the power of the Butterfly of the Light Goddess, with light fire swirling around the Clear Sky Hammer, the power was even greater.
Facing Wang Dong'er's sudden attack, Meng Hongchen remained very calm.
If she had charged straight on, it might have been different, but Wang Dong'er insisted on stacking these five layers of force. While the threat was certainly greater, it also gave Meng Hongchen time to react.
Her sixth spirit ring flickered.
"Sixth Spirit Skill, Corrosive Ice!"
A large area of liquid toxin sprayed out from her, blocking Wang Dong'er's inevitable path.
At the same time, a pair of thrusters appeared on the leg parts of her Battle Armor. They instantly ignited, propelling her rapidly backward.
"Winter, dodge!" Huo Yuhao quickly called out in the Spiritual Sharing.
He sensed the terror of this toxin; it was already approaching extreme attributes. Its strong corrosive nature even created a small vacuum zone in his Spiritual Detection.
Hearing this, Wang Dong'er had no choice but to give up, executing a spiral in mid-air and stacking another hammer blow.
The force of six stacked hammer blows wasn't wasted. She turned and redirected her target towards another member of the Sun Moon Imperial Team.
Seeing this, Meng Hongchen's method of dealing with it was also very direct. Circling around the poison mist of Corrosive Ice, she broke away from the injured Bei Bei and charged straight at Huo Yuhao.
Wang Dong'er's expression drastically changed.
She didn't dare to continue her charge. Another spiral, and this time her target was directly Xiao Hongchen.
Xiao Hongchen didn't dodge this time, directly taking the hammer blow head-on.
Golden Attachment — his entire body turned into liquid metal, able to reduce physical damage by eighty percent.
As for the light fire damage, he also perfectly withstood it.
If it were other elemental damage, he might not have been able to take it, but it just happened to be fire. In his liquid metal form, he really wasn't afraid of fire. Unless you could vaporize the metal, you couldn't hurt him at all.
Xiao Hongchen laughed loudly a few times.
Wang Dong'er wanted to take off again, but he didn't give her the chance. The liquid metal that had splattered everywhere earlier formed into a foot shape, viciously stomping Wang Dong'er down.
"Invincible Toad Cannon!"
With Wang Dong'er underfoot, he opened his mouth and fired a cannonball point-blank at her face.
Huo Yuhao's expression changed slightly. With no time to think of anything else, he directly used Phantom Demonic Trace, slipping through at a tricky angle under Xiao Hongchen's crotch and embracing Wang Dong'er.
Because Wang Dong'er held the Clear Sky Hammer, the Martial Soul Fusion Skill they instantly activated this time had only two possibilities.
Either Huo Yuhao's Spirit Eyes plus Wang Dong'er's Clear Sky Hammer, or the Ice Jade Scorpion Emperor and the Clear Sky Hammer.
Facing Xiao Hongchen's cannonball, Huo Yuhao chose to meet it head-on.
"Fierceness within Extreme Freezing, Emperor's Hammer!"
A strong light enveloped them. A Clear Sky Hammer, emanating biting cold air and wreathed in lightning, clashed head-on with the spirit cannonball.
In the next instant, the Clear Sky Hammer shattered space, arrived high above, then smashed down fiercely towards Xiao Hongchen below.
"Afraid of you?" Xiao Hongchen beckoned, and together with Meng Hongchen, they activated their Martial Soul Fusion Skill.
"Hongchen's Attachment!"
A giant toad, its entire body emitting crimson-gold light, appeared. Its eyes were completely black, but as the Spirit Skill was released, its eyes would turn golden.
It opened its mouth, crimson-gold energy gathering.
The clash of Martial Soul Fusion Skills became the focus on the arena at this moment.
All tactics ultimately returned to a contest of brute force.
It still came down to strength!
The Clear Sky Hammer was blasted high into the air, almost colliding with the spirit power barrier above.
Once it hit the spirit power barrier, it would trigger the out-of-bounds condition and be eliminated.
In mid-air, after gathering momentum, the Clear Sky Hammer transformed into an eye, spreading out resplendent light wings.
Around this eye, there was also a golden headband. The wings revealed a metallic texture.
Clearly, this Martial Soul Fusion Skill was also enhanced by their Spirit Artifacts.
"Decay Amidst Splendor, Golden Road!"
The crimson-gold giant toad didn't confront the Golden Road at all.
This was an ability that stripped away Martial Souls. Taking it head-on would cause his Martial Soul Fusion Skill to dissipate directly, leaving him at the mercy of others.
His body emanated biting cold air, turning the surrounding arena into an ice surface. Through the refraction of the ice, he achieved an effect similar to teleportation, dodging the Golden Road. Simultaneously, he transferred to mid-air, opened his mouth, and fired another crimson-gold energy cannon.
After firing the energy cannon, he rapidly descended to the ground, mouth facing down, and fired another crimson-gold energy cannon at Bei Bei.
Xu Sanshi?
A defensive-type Spirit Master, definitely not a target to attack.
Who would pour damage into a defensive-type Spirit Master?
Especially when the other side could swap with your teammate.
Bei Bei felt bitter inside.
He gritted his teeth and urged his spirit power.
"Can't lose!"
He raised his head, a gigantic golden dragon head appearing behind him.
"Sixth Spirit Skill, Dragon Emperor's Domain-Shaking Realm!"
"Fifth Spirit Skill, Dragon Emperor's Evil-Cleaving Sunder!"
Below the arena, watching this scene, Su Ming's eyes narrowed slightly.
Here, one could see that Mu En had indeed delved very deep. He had engraved his ultimate skills into his bloodline. Even though he died a few years early and didn't have time to teach Bei Bei these ultimate skills, Bei Bei could still possess these two major Spirit Skills through his spirit ring configuration.
