Chapter 704 - Is That the Best You Can Do?

Gu Yue landed gracefully on her feet. She was huffing and puffing though; that soul skill had used too much of her energy.

Long Yue circulated his soul power throughout his body, trying to summon a mountain to attack Tang Wulin and Gu Yue, but found to his shock he couldn’t. What did she do? She unleashed a ring of brown light, and then… The brown ring! Yes, that must be it! But I can’t get out of the ring, not when it’s as large as the stage! Such an incredible technique. I’ve never fought anyone so terrifying. Just who the hell is she?

Tang Wulin was taken aback when the mountains crumbled. He didn’t know what Gu Yue had done, but he knew she had done something. He had many questions for her, but this was hardly the time or place to give voice to them. He looked at Long Yue and saw a furrowed brow, which told him that Gu Yue’s soul skill had done a number on him. So without a moment’s hesitation, he charged at the Dragon King again.

Meanwhile, Dai Yueyan and Yuanen Yehui were exchanging blows in fierce hand-to-hand combat. The fourth prince, having lost two matches in this tournament, was giving this fight his all to try not to let his father down again, so despite his wounds, he was putting up a good fight.

Ye Zhi stood there like a helpless lamb waiting to be slaughtered after Su Mu was eliminated. Ye Xinglan didn’t let her suffer long from the torture of fear; Stargod Sword broke through her defenses in a matter of seconds.

With Su Mu, Hua Lantang, Ye Zhi, and Xie Xie eliminated, now it was down to six on four.

Lin San flew at Xu Xiaoyan, but he was intercepted halfway by Ye Xinglan. Between the burns from Gu Yue’s fireball and the wounds from Tang Wulin’s Golden Dragon Spear, the Wind King could barely withstand Ye Xinglan’s sword intent.

Teng Teng raced towards Xu Xiaoyan, but suddenly Yue Zhengyu was beside her.

Long Yue watched as Tang Wulin sped at him. “I don’t need soul skills to defeat you!” he shouted.

A deafening Golden Dragon Roar, and Tang Wulin was up in the air, his spear descending in a golden arc.

Long Yue brought his owe spear up above his head and blocked the powerful blow. The impact sank him several inches into the ground. “Is that the best you can do?” he sneered, and pushed Golden Dragon Spear aside with a shove, his body shining a dark golden, his eyes turning bloodred again.

The faces of Dai Yueyan, Lin San, and Teng Teng brightened up at once, as if they had already won the match.

Pieces of dark golden armor emerged from the Dragon King’s skin. His one-word battle armor is made of spirit alloy too? Tang Wulin wondered, surprised. Then he saw the wings and realized how wrong he had been. One-word battle armor has no wings, so he must be a two-word battle armor master like Teacher Wu!

The moment Long Yue donned his armor, everyone on the stage felt an enormous, terrifying pressure weighing down on them. His power now could even match that of an eight-ringed Soul Douluo!

Tang Wulin’s voice boomed out. “Take out the others first!” He slashed at Long Yue with his right golden claw, sending five dark golden beams of light shooting forward. Golden Dragon Dreadclaw!

Long Yue didn’t even bother to dodge his attack. The five light beams caught him square in the chest but left not so much as a scratch on his armor. Suddenly he moved, so fast that all Tang Wulin could see was a blur. He slammed into his adversary with his shoulder, knocking him onto the barrier with a sickening thud.

“Get out of here!” Crazy Long shouted to his teammates. Them being on the stage would only distract him or get in the way.

Dai Yueyan, Lin San, and Teng Teng conceded the match without hesitation and jumped off the stage quickly.

Long Yue looked around to make sure all of his teammates were gone and suddenly saw a golden ring speeding towards him from the corner of his eye. Her control abilities are so annoying! He evaded it with ease, and with a swing of his spear, he sent out a dazzling beam of light that flew at high speed towards Xu Xiaoyan.

Xu Xiaoyan was too petrified with fear to move. Yue Zhengyu pushed her out of the way, but by then it was too late for him to dodge that attack. The light beam exploded on impact, sending him flying back. Blood sprayed from his mouth.

“Zhengyu!” Xu Xiaoyan screamed, as angry as she was worried. Her third soul ring lit up, and numerous beams of starlight burst out of her staff and rained down on Long Yue.

Fast as he might be, the Dragon King failed to evade them all. He couldn’t move.

Xu Xiaoyan pointed at Tang Wulin with Star Staff as her fourth soul ring started shining. Star Link! Then she pointed at her other teammates and linked them all together with starlight. Now they were shining like six stars.
