Chapter 60: This Strike Calls for Staying Humble and Prudent!

Is it difficult to defeat two low-tier Great Soul Masters and one Soul Master? At least in Wu Feng’s eyes, it was not even enough to fit between her teeth.

With Ning Tian’s support, she had once achieved the feat of defeating a consecutive line of three Great Soul Masters whose levels were above 25!

Therefore, deep down, she looked down upon Huo Yuhao and the other two, believing that as long as she unleashed her full power, they would inevitably fall before her claws, letting Ning Wuque witness her true strength!

"Winged Scythe."

High in the air, seeing Wu Feng lunging at extreme speed toward his wings, Wang Dong reacted. As his first soul ring lit up, he utilized his body's exceptional flexibility to execute an ultra-high-difficulty maneuver.

Aided doubly by the God's-eye view provided by Huo Yuhao and the spatial field environment created by Xiao Xiao, he could see clearly and react in time to all of Wu Feng's movements!

Whoosh—

Dragon claws tore through the air with a sharp shriek. The attack that Wu Feng had expected and instinctively felt would hit struck empty air.

The moment she swung her right claw to grab Wang Dong, the latter—as if anticipating all her moves—dipped his body with a forward-bending leg, then leaned his upper torso backward to complete a high-difficulty dodging maneuver.

The next instant, Wang Dong flapped his wings. Gleaming with a metallic luster like sharp blades, his butterfly wings stabbed toward Wu Feng like a pair of guillotines.

Splotch~

Wu Feng wanted to dodge, but her previously infallible instincts lost their effect. Wang Dong, acting as though he possessed a cheat for precognition, clearly foresaw all her movements, and his wings steadily carved two bloody slash marks into her arms.

Fresh blood sprayed into the air.

However, such minor injuries were of no consequence to Wu Feng. Undeterred, she pressed her attack against Wang Dong once again!

Whoosh—whoosh—whoosh—

Missing with claw after claw left Wu Feng extremely agitated. Her eyes gradually turned red, and burning away her sanity like a frantic, blood-raged hound, the hidden effect of her second soul ring began to trigger.

When Wu Feng overheats, there is a probability that her Tyrannosaurus hunting stance will transform into a berserk stance, trading her sanity for even more formidable combat instincts and a more comprehensive physical enhancement!

In the eyes of onlookers, after a mere two minutes of close combat, Wu Feng seemed to have completely exhausted her sanity. Toyed with by those weaker than her, she recklessly unleashed her instincts, launching desperate attacks against Wang Dong.

She wished she could devour his flesh and drink his blood!

In this state, she lacked reason, but possessed far greater power!

Gradually, even with Huo Yuhao’s support and Xiao Xiao’s crowd control, Wang Dong began to find it difficult to parry. His school uniform also accumulated several slash marks as he protected his wings from being grabbed.

"Wang Dong, right now!"

Finally.

At an extremely opportune moment, taking advantage of the brief window when Wu Feng intended to pause for a short breath and maneuver due to the drastic consumption of her physical stamina, Huo Yuhao made his move.

Shouting loudly, he launched a mental shockwave at Wu Feng, sending invisible psychic energy piercing fiercely toward her like a sharp arrow.

Without a shred of doubt and placing one hundred percent trust in Huo Yuhao, Wang Dong activated his thousand-year soul skill.

His second soul ring flashed.

"Butterfly God's Light!"

Opposite them, Wu Feng's instincts reacted the instant Wang Dong activated his second soul skill. A left-step sidestep would have easily evaded this "non-directional" soul skill—something that would have been utterly simple for her at ordinary times!

Yet...

"Ugh, ah!!"

A cry of pain rang out along with the impact of the Butterfly God's Light. Although Huo Yuhao's mental shock lacked the enhancement of the Purple Demon Eyes, it still carried a tremendous effect.

Coupled with the fact that Wu Feng had completely cast aside her reason, the second soul ring bestowed by Ning Tian ceased to function entirely. Struck by this unknown psychic attack, her body turned sluggish.

It was precisely this momentary sluggishness that prevented her from dodging Wang Dong's Butterfly God's Light. The soul skill brought by the thousand-year soul ring landed solidly on her undefended chest.

Immediately afterward, pressing his advantage relentlessly, Wang Dong surged forward. His first soul ring lit up, and his wings, stained with a metallic sheen, slashed toward Wu Feng's arms.

"Cauldron Shock!"

Xiao Xiao did not let this opportunity slip either. Under Huo Yuhao's shared spiritual detection, she threw out her Three-Life Soul Caldron instantly, sending one caldron straight at Wu Feng's face!

Whoosh—

The sound of piercing wind rang out, followed closely by several thunderous "boom" echoes resounding near her ears.

Within Huo Yuhao's spiritual detection, Ning Wuque stepped forward with incredible speed, leaving behind only a few soul-guidance training devices suspended in mid-air as they fell downward.

Puff~

Clang~

Landing steadily in front of Wu Feng, Ning Wuque threw a punch that batted the Three-Life Soul Caldron away, and then took the full force of Wang Dong's Winged Scythe bare, spraying a burst of blood.

"I..."

Stimulated back to clarity by the pain, Wu Feng passively broke the effect of her second soul ring. She collapsed to the ground, not daring to look at Ning Wuque's back.

She... was defeated? How could that be!

"Leave her to me."

Ning Wuque merely replied calmly, then turned his gaze to the three figures not far away treating him like a formidable enemy.

Wang Dong had already retreated backward. He dared not go toe-to-toe with a monster like Ning Wuque—that was simply courting defeat!

Looking at the three of them—or rather, looking at Huo Yuhao—Ning Wuque felt a trace of emotion in his heart.

Spiritual detection was still far too overpowered in the early stages. Lacking absolute, crushing speed and power, relying on this soul skill and clever techniques to fight opponents of higher ranks was entirely feasible.

Especially Xiao Xiao; the special field generated by her Three-Life Soul slowed down Wu Feng's movements, allowing the already agile Wang Dong to constantly dodge and toy with her.

Any of these three individuals taken alone would only be fodder for Wu Feng to abuse, but combined, they possessed the capital to defeat Wu Feng!

Not to mention that Wang Dong and Huo Yuhao also possessed a martial soul fusion skill. Although it was uncertain whether they could use it right now—which was definitely impossible according to the original work—what if they had a burst of potential and managed to use it?

Nothing should be taken as absolute.

"I know."

Wu Feng's voice carried a hint of grievance and a tearful tone, as if it were not merely her arrogance that had been defeated.

Quietly getting to her feet, she retreated in a disheveled state back to Ning Tian's side. Refusing to look at Ning Wuque, she kept her head lowered, waiting for the match to end.

Beside her, Ning Tian wanted to offer a few words of comfort to Wu Feng, but now was not the time. She could only quietly gaze at Ning Wuque's back standing firm at the front, as reassuring as an iron tower.

Ahead, Ning Wuque watched the three of them, slowly extending a hand toward them. Clenching his fist and twisting his wrist in mid-air, he said:

"One assault-type with less than half their soul power left, one control-type with considerable mental exhaustion, plus you, Yuhao. Admit defeat now, and no one will get hurt."

"Wuque, Big Brother, I will not admit defeat. Not today, and not ever in the future!"

Showing no weakness, Huo Yuhao replied firmly, then cast his gaze toward Wang Dong, a questioning gleam flashing in the depths of his eyes.

Their martial soul fusion skill was still in the "cooldown" state, but... how would they know if they didn't try?

"Very well, give it your all. I hope you can manage to injure me."

As the words fell, the bleeding wounds on Ning Wuque's body healed themselves, making him look completely unscathed once again.
