Soul Land V: Rebirth of Tang San

But just then, the Ninth Stage Tiger Demon at the core of the Domain maneuver suddenly felt an all-encompassing coldness; despite having already dispersed most of the chill, a piercing pain shot through its shoulders. With this pain, another wave of coldness surged into its heart, causing it a moment of palpitations.

Just as it was about to solidify into the Dark tiger, the most crucial support of its power abruptly weakened, and its massive body swayed. The other four Eighth Stage Dark tigers felt as if they had applied their strength in the wrong way. The Dark tiger they had cooperated with for many years without failure just exploded with a loud bang, bursting into large swathes of black mist that lingered in the air. The backlash caused the five Tiger Demons to let out a muffled groan simultaneously. The Ninth Stage Tiger Demon even spat out a mouthful of blood, its face filled with disbelief.

The formidable Dark tiger that had instantly tightened the hearts of the human audience just vanished into thin air. It was like a black... paper tiger!

The second ice spear from Wu Bingji also shot out like lightning in that instant, carrying an unstoppable momentum and an extreme cold.

The Ninth Stage Dark tiger dared not neglect it, its black radiance suddenly flaring up even more fiercely, desperately dissolving the remaining ice element inside its body. Its paws, burning with life force, erupted to the extreme with the Demon Tiger Bloodline.

Having faced it before, it understood how terrifying that ice spear was. This forced it to fight desperately. Owning Ninth Stage cultivation base and sufficiently strong bloodline, it also possessed the ability to burn its bloodline, just like Wu Bingji that day.

"Boom—" The ice spear exploded. But it did not explode upon collision with the Ninth Stage Tiger Demon. Instead, it burst open fifteen meters away from it.

Within the exploding ice spear, four streaks of cold light shot out, almost disappearing instantly.

The four Eighth Stage Tiger Demons didn\'t even have time to react before the four ice needles, accelerated a second time, had already penetrated their pupils and pierced through their brains.

Yes, the second ice spear\'s target was not the Ninth Stage Tiger Demon. It flew towards it merely as a distraction.

Ninth Stage peak Spiritual Power control, Ninth Stage peak bloodline concentration, how could Wu Bingji\'s Ice element control be compared to its original capacity?

"Bang bang bang bang!" Headshots blossomed like fireworks, the four Eighth Stage Tiger Demons simultaneously fell dead under the horrific piercing and explosion of the ice needles. The Shrek squad\'s reputation for headshots added four more from the Demon Race.

And the Ninth Stage Tiger Demon, which had burned its life force in an all-out attack, found its attack hitting nothing. It even saw the mocking expression of its opponent. In a moment of rage, blood rushed to its head. It let out a furious roar and, regardless of the dissipating Dark Domain, recklessly charged at Wu Bingji.

But what awaited it were ice walls rising from the ground, each several meters thick.

When the seventh ice wall shattered, the burning power of the Ninth Stage Tiger Demon\'s bloodline finally came to an end, its aura rapidly dwindling. The ice spear came down from the sky, following a graceful parabola, pinning it harshly to the ground.

The host opened their mouth! Having watched the entire process from the stands, they wanted to say they had guessed correctly. It really was a battle resolved within six minutes. However, the winner was the complete opposite of what they had predicted.

Who would have thought that the Shrek squad, which had struggled in the previous battle, would completely crush their opponents in about five minutes in the fifth match where the adversaries were evidently stronger? Throughout the fight, Wu Bingji was the only one to take action. Though he only had an Eighth Stage cultivation base, he erupted with the powerful strength of the Ninth Stage peak. The control of ice spears and ice needles reached a maddening precision.

The Headshot Madman once again completed headshots, and the heads exploded were those of the Tiger Demons.

The discerning observers\' attention was all focused on the golden array patterns on the ground, centering on Du Bai, who held the Array Plate.

The five team battles appeared to show that the guy with the least combat ability was actually the real reason for this victory.

They were not wrong about this, it\'s just that what the audience did not know was that, in addition to the Melting Spirit Formation, Misfortune Descending was also the most crucial point in determining the outcome of the battle.

Misfortune descended upon the Demon Tiger Monster as it took shape, causing the Ninth Stage Demon Tiger Monster to misuse its strength. This led to the instantaneous collapse of the Dark Tiger, preventing their most powerful methods from being deployed and resulting in their rapid defeat.

The Three Tailed Sky Fox, having achieved the Sixth Stage state, was no longer the weak link on the battlefield but had transformed into the most critical factor.

This victory was so effortless that even the Shrek squad couldn\'t quite believe it themselves.

Wu Bingji\'s first reaction after slaying the Ninth Stage Demon Tiger Monster was to look back at Tang San. He himself could scarcely believe that they had won so easily.

Tang San nodded slightly at him.

In terms of element control, Wu Bingji had already mastered combining it with the Tang Sect\'s Concealed weapon technique.

However, powerful as the Melting Spirit Formation seemed, it mainly worked so well because the opponents weren\'t strong enough. The formation, no matter how strong, could not boost their powers to the level of God Rank. Therefore, although the effect seemed very good now, as their Cultivation base increased, the effectiveness of the Melting Spirit Formation would actually diminish. If there were a Ninth Stage peak expert among today\'s opponents, it would have been a different story. Besides, it was Du Bai\'s Misfortune Descending that prevented the enemy from using their most powerful move; otherwise, it would definitely have been a tough battle. This seemingly easy win was actually the result of multiple factors.

Of course, a win is a win at this point. This was the fifth victory for the Shrek squad.

Cheers erupted from the Human spectator area, as Humans had once again triumphed over a stronger opponent and had demonstrated even greater strength. How could they not be ecstatic? They really saw the hope for Humanity!

Emerging from the battlefield, the Bloodthirsty Devil Ape was already waiting there, its gaze more solemn and serious than ever. It nodded at the five from Shrek and said, "Please follow me." It gestured for them to proceed and led the way inside.

Tang San and his team followed behind, but rather than heading back to the rest area they were supposed to, they headed deeper into the Grand Animal Fighting Arena.

"Where are you taking us?" Wu Bingji couldn\'t help asking.

The Bloodthirsty Devil Ape stopped, its tone grave as it said, "Our arena master wants to see you."

Just as Wu Bingji was about to say something, Tang San stopped him and said, "Alright."

Only then did the Bloodthirsty Devil Ape continue onward, with Tang San and the others following behind. Wu Bingji gave Tang San an inquiring glance, clearly worried; Tang San, however, shook his head slightly at him, signaling him to keep calm.

After a long walk through a spacious corridor, they suddenly entered a lavish hall. Passing through a corridor hung with many clearly valuable paintings, they finally stopped in front of a set of dome-shaped double doors.

The Bloodthirsty Devil Ape indicated that they should wait a moment and then pushed the door open to enter first.

A short while later, it came back out and gestured for Tang San and his team to follow.

Under the guidance of the Bloodthirsty Devil Ape, the five entered, one after another, into an ornately decorated room.
