Chapter 626: Shui Bing'er's Surprise Attack on Tang San; Bai Chenxiang's Determination to Die

"How is it possible? Who exactly is that guy? Xiao San's military talent is the greatest I have ever seen in my life, yet he is completely no match for that person." Dai Mubai watched the battlefield from afar, his heart filled with horror.

How does Nan Feihuang have so many extraordinary people under him? There is Dian Wei, who fights six at once and has driven the Sky-Reaching Douluo to the brink of a mental breakdown; and there is the one who devises strategies within a command tent, simultaneously ordering his soldiers to surround and slaughter all the Star Luo Spirit Douluos while controlling hundreds of thousands of troops, with a speed and precision in changing formations that can be called peerless in the world.

With these two—one a scholar and one a warrior—Star Luo is no match for the Gulei Empire, whether in dueling generals or commanding armies.

Taking advantage of the moment Tang San and Xun Yu were engaged in a battle of formations, Shui Bing'er finally approached Tang San rapidly.

"Hongjun, deal with her!" Tang San immediately ordered.

Ma Hongjun had been following him during this period; after all, he was a Control System user, while Ma Hongjun was a Qiangong Xi user who relied on explosive power. In a sense, the two were the best partners, even better than the coordination with Dai Mubai.

Dai Mubai, that Qiangong Xi user, actually also served in the defensive position responsible for blocking back in Shrek.

Within Shrek, the only true high-attack explosive type was Ma Hongjun.

"Uh... this?" Ma Hongjun hesitated. Was this Third Brother trying to get him killed? He only had six Spirit Rings, but the beauty opposite him had a full eight Spirit Rings.

With martial soul quality on par, and a suppression of two Spirit Rings, he would have to use his head to take on this beauty.

He joined Star Luo to enjoy life, not to come here and die.

Unfortunately, he had no choice now. During this time, he realized that his Third Brother had completely changed; he was no longer as gentle and refined as he was back then, but extremely cruel and ruthless. Although he "punished the wicked and eliminated evil" every day, his temperament had become increasingly twisted after absorbing the soul power of countless Evil Spirit Masters.

Ma Hongjun worried that if he disobeyed his orders on the battlefield, he would be executed for violating military law the very next moment.

Helpless, he had no choice but to fly up, spread his flaming wings, and charge toward Shui Bing'er.

The Ice and Fire Phoenixes collided head-on in the air.

Although the quality of their martial souls was on par, their paths of cultivation were completely different. Ma Hongjun allowed evil fire to burn his body; his flames had long since deviated from the Holy Fire that a true phoenix should possess.

As for Shui Bing'er, after training in the Extreme North and absorbing the Ten-thousand-year Snow Lotus Spirit Ring and soul bone, the ice attribute within her body had been purified once again. She could now control it freely, as easily as moving her own arm, and no longer had to use only seventy percent of her power as she did back then for fear of hurting others.

"Hmph, filthy fat man, get lost!" Perhaps because they both possessed phoenix martial souls, Shui Bing'er could clearly sense how dirty the other's phoenix was.

It lacked even a shred of the holiness a phoenix should have. Clearly a Fire Phoenix, yet it was so heavy with yin energy that it felt like many dark-type martial souls. Moreover, this man was covered in various filthy diseases, a clear sign of what happens after dallying with too many unclean women.

Shui Bing'er didn't even have the desire to fight him; she felt it would dirty her hands.

With a wave of her Ice Phoenix wings, a gust of intense cold wind instantly extinguished the flames all over Ma Hongjun's body, while also blowing him to the ground, where he fainted directly.

Ma Hongjun had no intention of resisting at all; perhaps fainting like this offered a glimmer of survival. After all, what was the difference between a Spirit Master and a Spirit Douluo fighting and just throwing one's life away? "Trash!" Seeing Ma Hongjun wiped out in one move, Tang San finally couldn't help but curse out loud.

He had to retreat immediately. He wasn't afraid of Shui Bing'er in a one-on-one duel, but once he was entangled by her...

Once that Dian Wei broke out of the formation of one hundred thousand troops, or Xun Yu completely annihilated the Star Luo army, he would either be killed by Dian Wei or surrounded and slaughtered by the army.

Seeing Tang San's movements and realizing he wanted to escape, Shui Bing'er immediately fired a beam of ice light at him.

However, at this moment, several swift figures rushed into the formation, grabbed Tang San, and ran. One purple figure even used their body as a shield, blocking the trajectory of the ice light. Shui Bing'er recognized the person and instinctively deflected the ice light, which struck the ground and only froze over a hundred ordinary Star Luo Empire soldiers.

"It's you!" Shui Bing'er looked at the purple-clad girl before her and said, "Long time no see, Bai Chenxiang. You are a disciple of the Min Clan with no attack power; why are you on the battlefield? Move aside for me."

The girl was indeed Bai Chenxiang. The few who had just rushed over were disciples of the Min Clan; their speed was the fastest, and they were first-class in the world whether for gathering intelligence or fleeing.

However, they also understood that if no one came to block Shui Bing'er, it wouldn't be easy to escape from her hands, so Bai Chenxiang became that cannon fodder.

Originally, as the eldest lady of the Min Clan, she naturally wouldn't have fallen to this point, but this time, she had made this choice voluntarily.

For one, as the eldest lady of the Min Clan, she would not let her clansmen become cannon fodder. Her grandfather was currently trapped by Xun Yu's formation, so she had to do it herself. For another, she had actually long since wanted to quit.

In Star Luo, she was just a tool. Tang San didn't value her at all, and even after that Ma Hongjun arrived, because Ma Hongjun had fallen in love with her at first sight, he even wanted to give her to him.

It was said that Ma Hongjun had even prepared the betrothal gifts. She would rather die than marry such a person.

Therefore, today, she was only fulfilling the last mission within her position.

Hearing Shui Bing'er's well-intentioned advice, Bai Chenxiang shook her head. "Sister Shui Bing'er, the life-saving grace you and Big Brother Feihuang showed me in the past, Bai Chenxiang will never forget. But I have a position I cannot betray. As I am now, I am the eldest lady of the Tang Sect's Min Hall, and I have a responsibility to protect my Sect Master."

"Today, I, Bai Chenxiang, am repaying kindness with enmity toward you; I deserve to die. So, Sister Bing'er, there is no need to hold back. Please, make your move."

After speaking, Bai Chenxiang charged directly toward Shui Bing'er.

She had no offensive spirit skills and could only use her body as a weapon to launch such a desperate attack.

Bai Chenxiang grabbed Shui Bing'er, dragging out her advance.

Shui Bing'er saw the determination to die in Bai Chenxiang's eyes. In fact, she didn't blame Bai Chenxiang. This was the battlefield; since she was a member of the Tang Sect, it was only right that she was her enemy. One couldn't force someone to be a traitor just because of a life-saving favor.

It was just that Shui Bing'er herself had an overly kind, saintly personality. Even on the battlefield, she didn't kill casually. The Star Luo soldiers she hit were all just frozen; as long as they were thawed in time, they could still be saved.

The only person she truly wanted to kill was Tang San.

At this moment, facing Bai Chenxiang, with whom she had some history, how could she bring herself to strike?

Sighing, Shui Bing'er struck Bai Chenxiang's neck with a hand blade, instantly knocking her unconscious.

She then tossed her to the side of Ning Rongrong in the rear. "Ning Rongrong, help me take good care of this little sister."

"Rest assured. But to think you'd still show mercy to the enemy on the battlefield—Nan Feihuang's assessment of you really wasn't wrong: an overly kind little phoenix," Ning Rongrong teased. "You can't be like this from now on. If you continue to be so kind, you might lose your life!"

"I know!" Shui Bing'er nodded with a solemn expression. In front of her, a true opponent had appeared.

Sky-Reaching Douluo Tang Ling, in order to help Tang San escape, had overcome his fear of Dian Wei and returned to the battlefield.

Moreover, his opponent now was not Dian Wei. He indeed could no longer muster a shred of courage against Dian Wei, but he wasn't afraid of a little girl like Shui Bing'er! (End of chapter)
