The Blazing Fire Tiger Soul Master, who was protected behind, took the opportunity to steady himself, staggering slightly upon landing.
"Raging Bear! Are you alright?"
He looked at the Tyrannical Bear Soul Master blocking in front of him, noticing the other's shoulder twitch slightly and hearing a suppressed grunt, and quickly inquired.
The Tyrannical Bear Soul Master shook his somewhat numb arm, the thick muscles on his brawny limb bulging, and replied in a muffled voice:
"I'm fine! Continue the attack!"
"Alright!"
A fierce glint flashed in the Blazing Fire Tiger Soul Master's eyes as his second Soul Ring suddenly lit up, the yellow halo pulsating rhythmically around his waist.
He abruptly raised his claws, their tips glowing with a blazing red light, then slammed them fiercely into the ground!
"Second Soul Skill: Flame Vortex!"
The moment his words fell, the ground beneath Dai Mubai's feet suddenly cracked open, and scorching hot air currents erupted.
Immediately after, a five-meter-wide flame vortex materialized with a roar, the raging flames swirling and howling like living creatures, the searing heat waves nearly igniting the air!
"Not good! First Soul Skill: White Tiger Protective Barrier!"
Sensing the intense heat rising from beneath his feet, Dai Mubai instantly activated his first Soul Skill!
"Not good!"
Dai Mubai felt a bone-scorching heat wave surge from below his feet. Reacting swiftly, his first Soul Ring instantly lit up:
"First Soul Skill: White Tiger Protective Barrier!"
A white-gold halo instantly enveloped his entire body, like a layer of hard armor.
The opposing Flame Vortex was no pushover either—in the blink of an eye, the golden light on Dai Mubai's surface began to ripple faintly, as if it might be melted through by the high temperature at any moment.
It wasn't that Dai Mubai didn't want to jump out; the airflow at the vortex's center was chaotic, and his feet felt as if they were being sucked down by an invisible force.
He simply couldn't find any leverage to break free—trying to leap out was as difficult as scaling the heavens.
Seeing him firmly trapped by his own Spirit Ability, the Blazing Fire Tiger Soul Master curled his lips into a smug, sinister smile, a ruthless glint flashing in his eyes:
"Kid, prepare to die! Third Soul Skill: Scarlet Flame Tiger!"
With a low shout, the purple halo beneath him—symbolizing a thousand-year Soul Ring—suddenly lit up, its radiance dazzling.
The phantom of the Scarlet Flame Tiger behind him abruptly raised its head and let out an ear-splitting roar, as if it were about to shatter the surrounding air.
Immediately after, orange-red flames erupted from his body, instantly engulfing him entirely, even making his fur appear as if it had turned into burning tinder.
From a distance, he looked like a fierce tiger born from the flames, his entire body wreathed in roiling fire, radiating an aura capable of incinerating everything.
"Roar!"
The Blazing Fire Tiger Soul Master let out a low growl, his figure suddenly leaping up, wreathed in blazing flames as he raised his claws burning with scarlet fire.
Like a red lightning bolt, he pounced fiercely toward Dai Mubai, who was deeply trapped in the Flame Vortex!
His stance clearly indicated his intention to finish off Dai Mubai in the vortex with a single strike.
At this critical moment, a sharp cry pierced through the air as a massive Thunder Fury Golden Eagle phantom suddenly appeared before the Blazing Fire Tiger Soul Master.
The Thunder Fury Golden Eagle spread its wings, its body wreathed in crackling blue electric arcs—this was precisely Xue Na's third Soul Skill: Extreme Lightning Chidori!
The Blazing Fire Tiger Soul Master clearly hadn't anticipated this turn of events; his mid-pounce figure abruptly halted, panic flashing in his eyes.
In that urgent moment, he had no time to retract his move and could only cross his flame-wreathed arms in front of him, attempting to block this sudden attack.
The next second, the Thunder Fury Golden Eagle phantom carrying countless electric arcs violently collided with the crimson flames before the Blazing Fire Tiger Soul Master!
"Boom—!"
Thunder and fire clashed fiercely, instantly erupting into a deafening roar.
Before the violent energy shockwaves had fully dissipated, blue electric arcs and orange-red flames continued to flicker and annihilate each other in the air as the stirred black mist gradually cleared.
The Blazing Fire Tiger Soul Master staggered out from the mist, his right arm mangled and bloody.
The charred wound still bore traces of electric arc burns, clearly rendering him combat ineffective. He could only cover his injured arm with his left hand, his eyes filled with shock, anger, and unwillingness.
On the other side, Tang San's gaze sharpened as he flicked his wrist, sending a strand of Blue Silver Grass toward Dai Mubai. The grass directly wrapped around Dai Mubai's wrist.
With a sudden exertion of his arm strength, he forcefully pulled Dai Mubai, who was still trapped in the flame vortex, out to safety.
"Thanks, Tang San!"
Dai Mubai steadied himself, shaking his legs briefly as the glow of his White Tiger Protective Barrier slowly faded.
"Mm, it's time to get serious now."
Tang San nodded, the Blue Silver Grass swaying in his hand while his Purple Demon Eyes faintly gleamed within his pupils.
The two quickly adjusted their stances, positioning themselves one in front of the other in combat postures, the Soul Power fluctuations around them growing increasingly dense.
The female captain of the Hundred Beasts Team stood in place, her previous composure completely gone, replaced by a trace of solemnity.
She clearly hadn't expected these seemingly young members of Shrek's Seven Devils to be so troublesome.
Especially that sudden thunderbolt attack, which had completely disrupted their rhythm.
"Lone Wolf! Blood Wolf! Fall back!"
She called out sharply, her voice cold yet carrying an undeniable command.
The two Gale Wolf Soul Masters who had been locked in combat with Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing exchanged glances upon hearing this!
Pushing off forcefully with their feet, they flashed away from the entangled fight and quickly retreated to their captain's side.
Both were slightly breathless, their gazes toward Shrek's Seven Devils now tinged with increased wariness.
"Raging Bear! Use the stones!"
The female captain's cold, stern voice rang out, her eyes precisely locking onto Ning Rongrong at the edge of the battlefield.
"Yes, Captain!"
The Tyrannical Bear Soul Master responded in a deep voice, his muscles bulging as the second Soul Ring representing his hundred-year Spirit Ability suddenly lit up at his feet, earthy yellow light swirling around him.
"Second Soul Skill: Bear Paw Throw!"
With his low shout, the Tyrannical Bear phantom behind him raised its massive paw and slammed it violently into the ground.
Instantly, a giant stone sphere nearly three meters in diameter erupted from the ground, steadied by his thick arms.
The stone ball's surface was wreathed in earthy yellow Soul Power glow, emanating a heavy, oppressive aura.
Then, the Tyrannical Bear Soul Master suddenly exerted his arm strength, hurling the stone sphere straight toward Ning Rongrong's position!
Seeing the stone ball roaring toward her, Ning Rongrong stumbled sideways in panic, her skirt fluttering in the wind, face full of fright.
Zhu Zhuqing, who was closest to her, narrowed her eyes and dashed toward Ning Rongrong. Just as Ning Rongrong was about to be engulfed by the stone ball's shadow, she swept her up by the waist.
Immediately, yellow-purple Soul Rings lit up around Zhu Zhuqing as she activated her first Spirit Ability, "Netherworld Impale."
Their figures transformed into a blurry black shadow, darting several meters sideways to evade the stone ball's impact zone.
Before Zhu Zhuqing could even fully set Ning Rongrong down, a sharp glint flashed in the woman's eyes as she raised her voice to issue commands:
"Foolish Monkey! Obsessed Ape! Stay close to me—we break through head-on!"
The two named figures sprang forward at her call. One had a burly bear-like build, his fists cracking audibly as he clenched them; the other moved with swift agility, his gaze radiating fierce determination. They flanked the woman protectively, forming a charging formation.
