Chapter 246: Take Him Down! Take Him Down!

"Don't get distracted by him!"

Noticing that his teammates' gazes had all been drawn away by Qin Jian's martial soul, Huyan Li felt a jolt in his heart and hurriedly shouted, "He definitely has a trick up his sleeve, don't look at his sword!"

"Swish!"

But the moment their gazes retracted, they discovered that Qin Jian, who had been opposite them, had already vanished, and a martial soul sword had appeared in his original position.

"You've lined up so perfectly, it's practically tailor-made for me..."

Qin Jian stood level with the seven members of Elephant Armor Academy, his martial soul having shot back to land in his hand, which he held high.

"Third Soul Skill, Ice Heart Snow Sword!"

With mental locking, streaks of ice peaks cracked into existence, instantly freezing all seven members of the Elephant Armored Sect!

"Caw, caw..."

It was as if a crow had flown over the silent Soul Fighting Arena; the scene was slightly comical.

On the VIP platform, Ning Fengzhi and Jian Douluo wore smiles, but Elephant Armored Sect Master Huyan Zhen's expression changed drastically: "A group-control soul skill, how is that possible?!"

"It's not; in fact, it only froze the enemies in a single line. The Third Soul Skill isn't that strong."

Bishop Salas's eyes were gloomy: "It's a pity that the seven of you from Elephant Armor Academy lined up in a row, giving him a perfect opportunity."

"As expected of the team favored by Ning Sect Master, they are truly extraordinary," he said, turning his head with a sarcastic tone.

Ning Fengzhi remained gentle: "You flatter us, Bishop Salas."

And within the short time of their conversation, the Shrek Team went all out.

"Bang, bang, bang..."

Of the four Soul Elders from the Xiangjia Team, one was blasted off the Douhun Tai by Qin Jian's Sword Qi, one was taken out by Xiao Wu with a set of four armor-breaking aerial strikes, one was sent off the stage by Zhuqing's Nether Thrust, and one was knocked unconscious by the combined efforts of Huang Yuan and Jing Ling.

On the Douhun Tai, only three Soul Ancestors from Elephant Armor Academy remained in an instant.

"Bang!"

Tailong had already exchanged a round with Huyan Li, who was the first to break free from the ice, blocking the opponent's attempt to rescue his teammates.

The entire arena remained silent, as if a breeze were blowing through fallen leaves—quiet, soundless.

"This is impossible!"

Finally, someone exclaimed, and then, like toppling dominoes, the commotion spread, and the entire Soul Fighting Arena became noisy and boisterous.

"This guy's soul skill is truly... heaven-defying..."

At the Shenfeng Academy waiting area, Feng Xiaotian, who had never seen Qin Jian's Third Soul Skill before, had his expression turn grave: "This seems to be a control soul skill with mental locking. If it were me... I wouldn't be able to dodge it either!"

"Elephant Armor Academy is done for; with only three people left, there's no way they can turn the tables."

On the Blazing Academy side, Huo Wushuang said with some annoyance: "I thought we could counter Qin Jian, but it turns out we're the ones being countered. A bunch of blockheads!"

Huo Wu rolled her eyes and said as a matter of course: "He is all-powerful; no one can counter him."

The other six members of the Blazing Fire Team looked at her in unison: "Huo Wu, he is our opponent on the competition stage, don't favor him over your friends!"

Huo Wu put her hands on her hips and tilted her head: "I'm telling the truth, how can you call that favoring him over friends!"

The six members of the Blazing Fire Team: "..."

On the Douhun Tai.

"Bang, bang! Bang!"

Huyan Li slapped his chest, furious and howling: "Set up the artillery platform we prepared for Shenfeng Academy! Get him! Get him!"

"Swish, swish, swish..."

The remaining two Soul Ancestors responded by gathering together, spinning like a washing machine to launch Huyan Li.

"Awoo, awoo, awoo!"

Huyan Li transformed into a flying wheel and shot toward Qin Jian: "I'm going to tear you to pieces—"

"Are you playing with a frisbee, for heaven's sake?!"

Qin Jian's Sword was suddenly in his hand, the sharp Sword Qi humming continuously.

"Self-created Soul Skill, Sword Qi Transformation!"

Shoo, shoo, shoo...

Several Light Swords shot out from the Sword, their tips pointed directly at the giant flying wheel.

"Hmph, the Mammoth Flying Wheel isn't that easy to catch; even a self-created soul skill is useless!" Huyan Zhen snorted coldly.

Jian Douluo glanced at him indifferently, with the look one gives a bumpkin.

"Crack, crack, crack..."

Streaks of Sword Light shattered, and Qin Jian retreated continuously, but a steady stream of Sword Light kept erupting from his martial soul, continuing to collide with the Mammoth Flying Wheel.

"The attack power is truly very strong, and it's also very hard to resist, but... Qin Jian is very smart... he didn't fight recklessly at all, but chose to exhaust him."

Grandmaster on the sidelines smiled slightly, looking calm.

"Bang!"

Sure enough, before long, the momentum of the Mammoth Flying Wheel was completely exhausted by Qin Jian; Huyan Li was struck squarely by a streak of Sword Light, and his whole body flew backward.

"Quick! Set up the artillery platform, give me another one!" he roared in mid-air.

But no one paid him any mind. He looked back and realized that his two Soul Ancestor teammates had already been beaten so badly by Tailong and the others that they couldn't even lift their heads; the situation was precarious.

"Swish!"

At this moment, Xiao Wu, who had been participating in the siege, used Teleportation to arrive beneath Huyan Li, landing an armor-breaking kick with her high heel that made everyone's eyelids twitch.

"Bang, bang, bang..."

Then, a set of Rabbit kicks sent Huyan Li high into the air, where Qin Jian was waiting with his sword raised in both hands, descending with a boom in perfect coordination.

"Bang!"

Huyan Li only had time to cross his arms in front of him before he was cleaved down by Qin Jian's charged, angry strike, smashing into the Douhun Tai with a force that looked painful to the bone.

Huyan Li fell completely unconscious.

But at this moment, Qin Jian suddenly looked toward the podium with vigilance, and sure enough, he saw Huyan Zhen stand up, a faint sound wave transmitting into Huyan Li's ears.

Qin Jian raised an eyebrow: "Is this old man connecting to Wi-Fi?"

"Urghhh!"

At this moment, Huyan Li roared in response, standing up to everyone's surprise, a massive helmet on his head, inlaid with diamonds and ivory that looked very valuable.

"A soul bone!"

There was a slight commotion on the podium, but most of the audience did not quite understand what this was.

"Heh, Sect Master Huyan is generous, actually finding such a precious Head Spirit Bone for your grandson."

Salas smiled somewhat strangely: "The opponent is sure to lose now."

Huyan Zhen glanced at him vigilantly and said: "Great hopes have been placed on A-Li; if anyone dares to covet him, my Elephant Armored Sect will certainly fight to the death."

Salas glanced at him and said: "Sect Master Huyan is overthinking it; no one would dare to make a move."

Huyan Zhen snorted coldly and looked back at the arena, but his pupils suddenly constricted, and he then abruptly turned his head to look at Jian Douluo: "So he is actually your disciple, old man Jian?"

Jian Douluo smiled without warmth: "That's right, he is my personal disciple; I trust he hasn't disappointed you?"

Huyan Zhen's face twitched, and he silently clenched his fists.

"Sshh!"

On the Douhun Tai, a Light Sword over ten meters long had gathered at some unknown time; just as Huyan Li fully activated his soul bone and was preparing to unleash his might, it slashed down with the force of Qianjun.

Those streaks of sharp Sword Radiance were as if substantial, making the audience on the sidelines feel a sense of being pricked.

"Boom!"

Qin Jian had no intention of giving Huyan Li any chance at all; he knew that the activation of a soul bone required time, and its use required charging, so when Huyan Zhen shamelessly intervened, he gathered Sword Qi and slashed down with Man-Sword Unity.

"Thud!"

A loud noise rang out, like two great hammers colliding in mid-air, the explosive sound accompanied by a ripple of soul power spreading outward, gusts of wind blowing toward the surroundings, causing the ordinary audience to sway and stumble until the protective barrier rose to help them withstand it.
