Chapter 113: Birds of a Feather

Shi Quan was no fool to just stand there blankly; the moment his martial soul was released, the Blue Silver King had already begun to spread continuously toward the two of them.

Just as Ma Hongjun's Phoenix Fire Line erupted, the Blue Silver King had already reached the front of the two.

Watching the surging fire line, the first Soul Ring beneath Shi Quan lit up, and the Blue Silver King on the ground instantly grew at high speed, transforming into a Blue Silver Vine Wall to block the front.

The scene of the plants melting and burning as imagined did not appear; the thick Blue Silver Vine Wall only buckled backward slightly, and the Phoenix flame, amplified by Ma Hongjun's Bathing Fire Phoenix, did not burn directly through Shi Quan's vine wall.

Not to mention that Shi Quan's own Divine Art Internal Energy gave the Blue Silver King a certain resistance to various elemental attacks, he had also consumed the Ten Complete Great Replenishment Pill, which contained the medicinal power of two Immortal Herbs: the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass and the Fiery Apricot Delicate.

The flames not only failed to suppress the Blue Silver King, but the Blue Silver King also possessed great resistance to fire itself; although Ma Hongjun's Evil Fire was special, due to the gap in soul power levels between the two, the Blue Silver King directly ignored the burning of Ma Hongjun's flames, though the Blue Silver King could not ignore the energy impact brought by the Phoenix Fire Line.

That was why the phenomenon of the Blue Silver Vine Wall, derived from Blue Silver Growth, buckling occurred.

"Boss Dai, his plant martial soul possesses very strong fire resistance." Ma Hongjun hurriedly voiced his discovery.

"Don't worry, leave it to me." Dai Mu Bai's eyes showed no fear; if a plant martial soul had high fire resistance, the added Soul Ring must be related to resistance, and in that case, the toughness of this plant martial soul would certainly be relatively low.

A normal person would certainly choose to leap over or go around, but Dai Mu Bai did not think so; he wanted to catch Shi Quan off guard, so he prepared to charge directly through the vine wall before him and launch an attack on Shi Quan from an unexpected direction!

Thinking this, the first Soul Ring beneath Dai Mu Bai lit up, and white light condensed around his body, forming a circle of white light barrier that enveloped Dai Mu Bai.

Before Dai Mu Bai could think more, he discovered that the plants binding his body were glowing with a familiar ink-colored light; the next second, he found that the originally soft plants had suddenly become incomparably hard, and at the same time, the thick vine wall before him receded, revealing Shi Quan's figure.

The white light shattered; Dai Mu Bai only saw an ink-colored flash on the Blue Silver Vine Wall, and his first sensation was pain—intense, heart-piercing pain. The violent impact not only failed to shake the Blue Silver Vine Wall in the slightest, but under this collision, Dai Mu Bai's first soul skill, White Tiger Body Protection Barrier, was directly shattered by his own momentum. Furthermore, under the violent collision, Dai Mu Bai could not react at all; the tiger claws he had prepared to push aside the Blue Silver Vines now smashed fiercely into his own face, and bright red blood flowed from his nose, turning him into a mess and leaving him feeling dizzy and disoriented.

Seeing this, Ma Hongjun spat out the Phoenix Fire Line again, wanting to help Dai Mu Bai break free.

Looking at the second Soul Ring flashing with light beneath Shi Quan.

"Pangzi!" Hearing Dai Mu Bai's voice, Ma Hongjun immediately retracted the Phoenix Fire Line.

Despite the isolation of the vine wall, Shi Quan still detected Dai Mu Bai's intention; seeing this scene, a playful smile appeared at the corners of his mouth, and the second Soul Ring beneath him lit up silently.

Just as he was briefly dazed, the first Soul Ring beneath Shi Quan lit up again, and a large amount of Blue Silver King grew out from the vine wall; before Dai Mu Bai could react, he felt his body tighten, and his entire person was wrapped up by these peculiar plants.

Replacing him was Dai Mu Bai's figure, his whole person appearing before the vine wall like a train, claws crossed before his mouth; he prepared to use his sharp claws to push the vines aside just as he was about to break through, and then directly release his second soul skill, White Tiger Intense Light Wave.

Ma Hongjun had not expected at all that Shi Quan could still spare the effort to deal with him while controlling Dai Mu Bai, and the growth speed of these plants was simply too fast; he failed to react in time and immediately suffered the same fate as Dai Mu Bai. Struggling to break free, he found that these plants were exceptionally tough; although the binding force was not strong, he simply could not break free.

"Boss Dai, what do I do? I can't break free." Ma Hongjun struggled frantically, only to find that he could not shake the surrounding plants in the slightest.

Dai Mu Bai then took a large step out, charging toward the position where Ma Hongjun's fire line had struck.

Hardening, activate!

Thud!

A dull, booming sound spread through the street, and the onlookers in the vicinity retreated even further away.

Third soul skill, White Tiger Vajra Transformation released; following his Martial Soul Avatar, Dai Mu Bai transformed again. His body instantly expanded, muscles bulged, black stripes appeared on his skin, and his pair of tiger claws grew a size larger, the barbs popping out from them flashing with a bright silver luster.

Dai Mu Bai's expression was gloomy; what could he do? He couldn't break free either, as the plants beneath him were too hard. If he used his second soul skill and the opponent dodged, he would have absolutely no power to resist; if he blasted the plants binding him, even if he broke through, he himself would have to pay a significant price.

Facing the layers of stacked Blue Silver King vines, Dai Mu Bai's expression also turned gloomy. Without any hesitation, the pupils in Dai Mu Bai's evil eyes merged instantly, the third Soul Ring on his body lit up in an instant, and it erupted with a crystalline purple light.

The speed at which Blue Silver Growth produced Blue Silver Vines was twice that of normal soul power cultivation; Shi Quan had used soul power cultivation at the beginning, which gave the two of them a misconception that the growth speed of the plants was only that fast, and they also mistook the first soul skill Shi Quan released as simply causing Blue Silver Grass to rapidly grow into a grass wall for defense.

The two of them never expected that his soul skill was simply Blue Silver Growth.

After releasing White Tiger Vajra Transformation, Dai Mu Bai finally felt the toughness of the Blue Silver King clearly; under the amplification of a thousand-year soul skill, his tiger claws could not directly break free from the Blue Silver King around his body. He had to tear at it three times in succession to barely manage to sever one Blue Silver King, and as for the layers of Blue Silver King stacked around his body, he didn't know how long he would have to wait to tear them all apart.

Just as he was spitting out flames, the Blue Silver King had already rapidly grown to his feet.

But to let him give up like this? How could that be possible? He saw that Shi Quan had deliberately not bound their heads, perhaps just to toy with them. Daring to toy with him, the Evil-Eyed White Tiger, meant he would definitely make the other pay a price.

Thinking this, Dai Mu Bai had already secretly circulated the soul power in his body, beginning to make preparations.

"Just as expected, like in the Spirit Arena, if one person can't win, a group has to come up. It's just a pity that even together, you two are no match for me." Shi Quan said indifferently, walking slowly toward Dai Mu Bai.

Dai Mu Bai looked at the approaching Shi Quan, putting on an angry and unwilling expression, and said: "If you have the ability, let me go, and let's have another three hundred rounds?"

"Birds of a feather flock together; sure enough, the people who hang out with idiots don't have much intelligence either."

"Who are you calling... an idiot!" As the words fell, the second Soul Ring beneath Dai Mu Bai suddenly lit up, and a massive amount of white light condensed instantly.

Dai Mu Bai looked at Shi Quan, who was within arm's reach, a smile of certain victory appearing in the depths of his eyes. At such close range, Shi Quan would have no time to release his martial soul to block or dodge. Even if Shi Quan were stronger, he would be severely injured if he took this White Tiger Intense Light Wave of his.

"I'm calling you!" Shi Quan's eyes were full of disdain and mockery. After absorbing the Sacred Dragon Eight Spears, he was exceptionally sensitive to fluctuations in soul power; even without using his Spirit Sense, Shi Quan had already discovered Dai Mu Bai's secret little movements long ago.

Dodge?

Why would he dodge?

Watching that nearly condensed white ball of light, Shi Quan flashed directly in front of Dai Mu Bai, raised his palm, and—*slap! *

A crisp sound rang out, and the powerful force directly slapped Dai Mu Bai's head to the other side, also slapping Dai Mu Bai into a daze.

The next second, a milky-white ball of light was spat out from his mouth; the White Tiger Intense Light Wave changed direction directly because of Shi Quan's slap, and this direction was aimed precisely at Ma Hongjun, who was beside Dai Mu Bai!

"Pangzi!" Dai Mu Bai cried out in alarm.

Ma Hongjun had originally thought that Dai Mu Bai would be able to make a desperate counterattack and lead him to victory, but he never expected that this desperate counterattack would fly toward him. He could only circulate his soul power to release the Phoenix Fire Line again, charging toward Dai Mu Bai's White Tiger Intense Light Wave.

One was a level 38 Soul Elder, the other a level 28 Great Soul Master.

One was a second soul skill, the other a first soul skill.

The disparity was clear at a glance, and the result could be imagined.

Ma Hongjun's Phoenix Fire Line had just erupted from his mouth when the White Tiger Intense Light Wave directly suppressed the erupting flames back.

With a boom.

White light scattered, and flames exploded.

How could Ma Hongjun's hasty strike block Dai Mu Bai's all-out White Tiger Intense Light Wave?

Almost instantly, he was severely injured and fell unconscious on the spot, but because of the binding of the Blue Silver King, his whole person stood straight on the spot, motionless.

"Pangzi!"

Oscar, who was watching from the side, also let out a cry of surprise; he had not expected that things would develop to this point, and his expression changed abruptly.

*Slap! *

Another crisp slapping sound came.

Dai Mu Bai's eyes were blood-red, and he only felt his cheek burning with pain. "You actually dare to humiliate me like this; I'm going to kill you!"

"Your strength is lacking, but your mouth is quite sharp," Shi Quan said indifferently, then swung another slap, "Say that again..."

"You..." Dai Mu Bai was furious, but since the situation was currently unfavorable, he had no choice but to bow his head.

"You what you? You what you?"

However, he was met with two more slaps, "Even if you aren't convinced, you'll endure it for me."

As he spoke, Shi Quan punched him in the eye socket again, "If I hadn't won against you, then the one being hammered would be me, and this matter was started by you yourselves, so..."

With another punch, both of Dai Mu Bai's eye sockets turned into panda eyes, "... if you get beaten, just honestly take it!"
