Chapter 87: You Think You're Something?
Ding ding ding ding—
Those dense, crisp sounds were the attacks launched by Zhuqing.
Unfortunately, given Zhuqing's current strength, her attacks had almost no effect when facing Zhao Wuji's body after he had completed his Martial Soul Avatar.
Zhao Wuji's body was as if cast from steel; even with her cat claws striking with full force, she could only pierce the clothes on Zhao Wuji's body.
Seeing Zhao Wuji's bear paw descending, Zhuqing could only fret, unable to do anything.
Looking at Shi Quan, who was dazed on the spot, Zhao Wuji smiled disdainfully and thought to himself, "I thought he had some trump card, but it turns out he was scared silly the moment he arrived?"
Dai Mubai, standing to the side, saw this and also wore a sneer; he felt as if he had already seen the scene of Shi Quan getting slapped in the face.
Zhao Wuji's palm came crashing down, and his sturdy figure could not help but pause.
A pair of bear eyes were wide open.
His palm had actually passed directly through Shi Quan's figure, without touching anything at all.
His hand was currently inside Shi Quan's chest, which looked extremely eerie.
"What's going on?" The next second, Shi Quan's figure dissipated into points of light.
"Fake? An illusion? When did he release it?"
Zhao Wuji was startled and hurriedly scanned his surroundings, only to discover that the original team of five now only had four people left. Had Shi Quan's figure just disappeared like that?
"Where is he?" Zhao Wuji was a bit confused; it wasn't just Zhao Wuji—everyone present was a bit confused.
The next second, Shi Quan's figure appeared again, appearing in an open space ten meters away.
Everyone present could be certain that there had been no one there just a moment ago; Shi Quan had appeared just like that, as if out of thin air.
"This kid is a bit strange."
Thinking this, Zhao Wuji crouched halfway, slammed both fists into the ground simultaneously, and with a muffled "Boom—", the Earth trembled violently, and a circle of earthy-yellow waves, following the rhythm of the ground, suddenly radiated outward in all directions with Zhao Wuji at the center.
"Xiao Wu, go." Tang San used Blue Silver Grass to lift Ning Rongrong, then gave a low shout, pushing his hands forward in front of his chest.
Xiao Wu, who had jumped up, landed the tips of her feet on Tang San's palms, and with the help of Tang San's pushing force, she shot toward Zhao Wuji below like an arrow.
Regardless of what was going on with Shi Quan's situation, Tang San still felt that offense was the best defense; by taking the initiative to attack while Zhao Wuji's attention was on Shi Quan, they could delay for more time.
On the other side, Shi Quan's figure also leaped up when the wave arrived, dodging the blow.
"This one should be real." Seeing Shi Quan react, Zhao Wuji thought to himself.
While locking his aura onto Shi Quan, he faced Xiao Wu's attack without dodging or dispersing, standing like a wooden stake, just waiting for Xiao Wu to strike.
His goal was to test the strength of the five, not just Shi Quan alone; seeing Xiao Wu take the initiative to attack, he naturally played along with her.
Bang bang!
Two low sounds rang out; Xiao Wu's fierce strike, with power in her feet almost capable of snapping a common small tree, landed on Zhao Wuji's shoulder, yet it was completely unable to cause Zhao Wuji the slightest bit of damage!
It didn't even make him budge in the slightest.
"Your coordination is not bad, it's just that you don't seem to have much strength."
Just then, vines grew from under Zhao Wuji's feet, pulling him into the air.
The toxins in the vines instantly made Zhao Wuji's feet feel numb!
Immediately after, the vines vanished instantly; without the support of the vines, Zhao Wuji was now in the air, and even with Thousand Catty Fall, he had no place to use it!
However, Xiao Wu's feet were still clamped onto Zhao Wuji's shoulder.
"Waist Bow!"
Just then, the first Soul Ring under Xiao Wu lit up, her hands spread slightly, and two vines appeared instantly, grabbing her hands and bending Xiao Wu's body into an extreme arc.
Under the extreme coordination of Tang San and Xiao Wu, taking advantage of the time Zhao Wuji was in the air, they used the power of their feet, combined with the assistance of the vines, to fling Zhao Wuji down.
"Compared to the original work, the coordination between Tang San and Xiao Wu is even more tacit, and the combination of their martial soul and soul skills appears even more natural."
Twenty meters high above the open space, Shi Quan sat cross-legged in mid-air.
When Ning Rongrong released her soul skill, he had simultaneously released the ability of Dream Illusion; after leaving an illusion of himself on the spot, he had already silently arrived at a height of twenty meters, quietly watching the scenes on the field.
As for the figure of Shi Quan on the open ground, it was naturally the same as before—an illusion created by Shi Quan.
Returning his gaze to the battlefield.
Just as he was about to land, Zhao Wuji tried to prop himself up with his hands; if he were to crash directly into the ground, he feared it wouldn't be comfortable for him either.
But just as Zhao Wuji prepared to reach out, Zhuqing's ghost-like figure appeared again, and the first Soul Ring under her lit up.
Ding ding ding—
Another series of attacks, with the target being the soft area under Zhao Wuji's armpits; even Zhao Wuji had to retract his hands at this moment to protect his weak point.
With his hands unable to support him on the ground, even as Zhao Wuji unleashed his soul power, he could only crash onto the ground, emitting a "Boom" explosion sound.
Looking at Zhuqing, a ghostly light flashed, and after one strike, she retreated rapidly.
A huge sound suddenly arose!
Who knows how heavy Zhao Wuji's body was; being slammed into the ground caused a violent tremor and dust filled the sky.
Compared to Shi Quan's eeriness, the coordination of the three had more visual impact; even Dai Mubai on the side couldn't help but widen his eyes.
"I wasn't fully awake just now; I have to thank you all for helping me shake off some of my sleepiness." Zhao Wuji stood up with a straight face, finding an excuse for himself.
Dai Mubai, on the side, couldn't help but snicker.
"Xiaobai, you're laughing quite happily; tomorrow I'll give you a practical lesson too."
"Uh..." Dai Mubai's smile instantly froze on his face.
"Since I'm no longer sleepy, I'll play with you all properly." Zhao Wuji looked at the incense that had already burned a third of the way, then took long strides and chased toward Tang San.
Compared to Shi Quan's eeriness, the coordination of Tang San and the other two was even more troublesome.
Zhao Wuji was now prepared to deal with Tang San and the other two first before going to deal with the most eerie Shi Quan.
"Xiao Wu!"
Seeing Zhao Wuji walking over, Tang San gave a low shout and lowered his shoulders.
Xiao Wu gave a light leap, stepped on Tang San's shoulders, and jumped directly high into the air.
"Again?" Zhao Wuji sneered, "The same move is ineffective against me!"
As he spoke, Zhao Wuji also leaped high, intending to capture this hopping little rabbit directly in mid-air.
But just at this moment, several vines wrapped directly around Xiao Wu, and almost the instant Zhao Wuji threw a punch at her, the vines immediately changed her direction! At the same time, the vines assisted Xiao Wu as she kicked sideways toward Zhao Wuji.
Viewed from afar, it looked as if a hammer were tied to the tip of a vine, eerily changing its arc to smash sideways toward Zhao Wuji.
Meteor Human Hammer.
"Hidden Weapon technique, combined with Crane Controlling Dragon Capturing?"
Shi Quan saw at a glance that the Meteor Human Hammer was different from the original work; Xiao Wu's figure was more agile, and even Zhao Wuji could not easily grab her in mid-air.
But a problem they had to face was that their attack power was too weak; their attacks had almost no effect on Zhao Wuji, who possessed astonishing defensive power.
At the same time, another cold, ghostly figure also attacked Zhao Wuji. Two soul rings lit up on this figure; Zhu Zhuqing, who was attacking from the flank, was fast to the extreme!
As she neared Zhao Wuji, her body spun into trails of afterimages, and within those afterimages, countless chilling glints flashed!
Those chilling glints were naturally her second soul skill, Nether Hundred Claws!
Watching Zhu Zhuqing's attack, Shi Quan could not help but think of a Martial Arts technique, a Martial Arts technique even more superior to the Nine Yin Bone Claw, the Cui Jian Divine Claw.
If Zhu Zhuqing had learned this, combined with her martial soul and the Nether Hundred Claws' ability to launch hundreds of attacks against an enemy in a very short time, how terrifying would this attack power be?
At the very least, it would increase Zhu Zhuqing's attack power by more than several times.
Seeing Zhu Zhuqing and Xiao Wu attacking together again, Shi Quan's figure also moved. Based on the original work and his own observations, he feared Zhao Wuji would have to use a soul skill to establish his authority.
Shi Quan naturally would not give Dai Mubai the chance to catch Zhu Zhuqing, so he used the path of the illusion to quietly arrive not far behind Zhu Zhuqing.
Sure enough.
The next moment!
The first yellow soul ring on Zhao Wuji's body rose suddenly.
A roar came from Zhao Wuji's mouth!!
Golden light flared!
Zhu Zhuqing let out a scream in mid-air and was sent flying by this roar; she even spat out a mouthful of blood, and her consciousness became blurred.
Likewise, her foot had just kicked Zhao Wuji's body! The force of the rebound instantly caused her to spit out a mouthful of blood!
The vines tied to her body also shattered instantly, and she fell from mid-air!
Even Tang San in the distance felt his blood surging and was extremely uncomfortable because the vines were instantly shattered. But he hurriedly used Blue Silver Grass again to catch Xiao Wu and pull her into his arms.
Seeing this, Dai Mubai ran out quickly, feeling a bit heartbroken as he watched Zhu Zhuqing falling toward him.
However, the beautiful figure he imagined did not fall into his arms; instead, she was intercepted in mid-air.
"Zhuang Zhou!" Seeing Zhu Zhuqing suddenly appear in Shi Quan's hands, Dai Mubai's expression turned gloomy.
"Something the matter?" Shi Quan said indifferently. After resetting Zhu Zhuqing's dislocated arms, he poured Internal Energy into her body, and in just a few breaths, Zhu Zhuqing woke up.
Seeing herself lying in Shi Quan's arms, her face flushed slightly, "Zhuang Zhou, put me down."
"Go to the side and rest. With me here, you can rest easy." Shi Quan set Zhu Zhuqing down, patted her shoulder lightly, and then the light around Shi Quan distorted again, and his figure vanished once more.
Dai Mubai: "..."
Watching the two of them talking, Dai Mubai's face turned shades of green and purple.
It was one thing that I didn't get to catch her, but the two of you are here "you-ing" and "me-ing" right in front of me; do you really think I don't exist?
If asked, Shi Quan would definitely say, you're nothing...
