Chapter 231: Huo Wu: Come to cheat! Come to sneak attack!
At this moment, Zhu Zhuqing did not use any Spirit Ability, but through her footwork, she maximized her speed, becoming the first person to engage in close combat with a Shenfeng Team member.
Of course, it wasn't that she didn't want to use Spirit Abilities, but that her spirit power consumption was too great, no less than when she fought against Star Luo.
At that time, it was because Dai Weisi and Zhu Zhuyun's overall spirit power was higher than theirs, and they also had to add the attacks of the entire Star Luo Team, which caused Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong to consume too much.
As for today, it was entirely due to Tang San's operational error and a problem with his thinking, which led them to use their Domain ability twice, resulting in this situation.
However, since Zhu Zhuqing dared to declare that she would take out another opponent, she naturally had a trump card for a decisive blow.
Just as Zhu Zhuqing was about to collide with a Shenfeng member, she instantly raised both hands, and her already sharp claws directly lengthened by nearly double.
At the same time, a faint, ethereal light emanated from her body, making her almost transparent, and the attacks launched by the Shenfeng Team member passed directly through her without any obstruction.
"Spirit Bone Ability, Phantom Shadow!"
That's right, in this match, Zhu Zhuqing used her final trump card, the Phantom Shadow Cat's external Spirit Bone.
This Spirit Bone, after completely fusing with Zhu Zhuqing, also developed an active Spirit Ability, Phantom Shadow! It allows the body to transform into a shadow, granting immunity to all damage for a period of time.
The Shenfeng Team member's expression froze at this moment, their eyes filled with terror, as if they had seen a ghost, their body stiffened, and they immediately tried to retreat.
But at this point, retreating was already too late. Zhu Zhuqing crossed her hands and swung them, and with the Spirit Bone's armor-piercing and tearing abilities, ten long bloody gashes appeared on the Shenfeng Team member's chest.
And the Shenfeng Team member, having suffered such a heavy blow, directly collapsed to the ground, unable to get up again.
Zhu Zhuqing, having successfully landed a blow, did not delay. While the effect of Phantom Shadow was still active, she moved her feet and rushed towards Feng Xiaotian and Huo Wu, whose spirit power was exhausted.
As Zhu Zhuqing moved, the two Shenfeng members who were previously in front of her immediately dodged to the side, unwilling to engage her.
The scene of their teammate being severely wounded by a single blow was still vivid in their minds. Before they understood what was going on, they certainly didn't want to follow in his footsteps!
Zhu Zhuqing did not bother with the two dodging Shenfeng members, directly bypassing them and attacking Feng Xiaotian and Huo Wu.
It wasn't that she didn't want to deal with them, but she was already swaying precariously at this point. If she wasn't holding on with sheer willpower, she might have already collapsed to the ground.
If she delayed any longer, once the Phantom Shadow effect ended, it would be her turn to be unable to get up. Therefore, she had to use this time to scare Feng Xiaotian and Huo Wu into being eliminated with her.
Feng Xiaotian and Huo Wu watched Zhu Zhuqing charging straight at them, their eyelids twitching wildly as they secretly cursed their teammates for their disloyalty!
Immediately, they moved their feet and jumped off the arena. They had already exhausted their spirit power, and staying on stage was just to see if the other side would give them a chance to recover their spirit power.
Now that the other side wasn't giving it, they might as well just jump down themselves.
As for taking Zhu Zhuqing's moves head-on? That was absolutely impossible! What normal person would willingly get severely injured for no reason?
Seeing the two jump down, Zhu Zhuqing's lips curled into a smile, and she followed suit, jumping down as well. After landing, she even rolled twice due to her inability to control her speed.
Seeing this scene, Feng Xiaotian and Huo Wu's expressions darkened. They unconsciously exchanged glances and said in unison:
"Damn it, we've been tricked!"
That's right, they had been tricked. Even though Zhu Zhuqing charged so bravely, with her current strength, it was uncertain if she could even take out one of them, let alone eliminate two together.
Huo Wu gritted her teeth, looked at Zhu Zhuqing lying on the ground, and took a step, walking over.
"Heh, you really dared! If we had counterattacked, once we endured your strange move, you might have been severely injured. Weren't you afraid?"
Zhu Zhuqing looked at Huo Wu, whose face was somewhat flushed, her eyes narrowed, and she said with a smile:
"All's fair in war, right? No matter what, the result is that you two didn't dare to counterattack and jumped off the arena yourselves."
"Of course, if I hadn't tricked you, then I could only consider myself unlucky."
Zhu Zhuqing was in an excellent mood at this moment. Huo Wu had always tried to cause her trouble, giving her a headache.
Now seeing her frustrated was like drinking a glass of ice water in the dog days of summer—utterly refreshing!
Seeing Zhu Zhuqing's smile, Huo Wu's breathing suddenly grew heavier, and even her two imposing peaks seemed to swell further.
And at this moment, Ning Rongrong, who had jumped off the arena earlier, also ran over and helped Zhu Zhuqing, who was lying on the ground, to her feet.
At the same time, she also winked at Huo Wu, her expression quite rich.
Huo Wu stamped her foot. She wished she could let out a long howl to the sky and then rush over to brutally beat up those two little sluts on the other side.
But unfortunately, this was the Soul Master Competition arena, and she couldn't just throw the face of the Blazing Academy onto the ground and act on her impulses.
Huo Wu, with nowhere to vent her anger, turned to watch the match on the arena. She had to shift her attention, otherwise, before Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong did anything, she would explode with anger herself.
However, the situation for the Shenfeng members on the arena was not looking too good at this moment.
Without their two main forces, Feng Xiaotian and Huo Wu, and with one more taken down by Zhu Zhuqing, the Shenfeng Team was somewhat stretched thin against Shrek's offense.
Although Huo Wushuang was holding off Dai Mubai, Xiao Wu was now unrestricted. Her various Spirit Abilities combined with soft skills were used alternately, making her opponents scurry around, unable to resist.
And Tang San's offensive was even more ferocious. Relying on the defense of his Blue Silver Armor, he only attacked and never defended, just wanting to eliminate his opponents as quickly as possible.
Because his thinking had gone awry today, the team had once fallen into a disadvantage, and only by relying on Zhu Zhuqing's trump card was the situation barely salvaged.
So, whether for his pride or to avoid sitting at the dog's table during the celebration banquet later, he had to complete his own "kidney-cutting redemption"!
As Tang San relentlessly attacked, the effect became apparent. He was the first to eliminate an opponent, even faster than Ma Hongjun, who was teaming up with Oscar to fight the Shenfeng support.
And after that, he didn't delay, immediately turning and rushing towards Xiao Wu's opponent.
After Tang San freed up his hands, the already disadvantaged battle for Shenfeng immediately took a sharp turn for the worse. It could be said that the outcome of this match was already decided.
"Alas, we lost. If only we had known, the two of us should have stayed on stage and fought Zhu Zhuqing. Even if one of us remained, there would still have been hope of winning later."
Feng Xiaotian sighed, his expression somewhat regretful. The Shenfeng's disadvantage, in retrospect, was due to the mistaken decisions of him and Huo Wu, the captain and vice-captain.
If he and Huo Wu had managed to keep one person on stage, even with severe spirit power consumption, the fight wouldn't have been so difficult.
