These words were spoken.
The temperature between heaven and earth suddenly dropped.
A chilling killing intent instantly locked onto Ma Hongjun.
Ye Lingling slowly turned around.
Her once serene and beautiful face was now devoid of any semblance of calm, replaced by an aura of icy coldness.
Insulting her is acceptable.
But, he insulted her master.
He deserves to die!
"court death."
His voice was cold and devoid of any emotion.
Ye Lingling slowly raised her right hand, and in her palm, a strange soul bone, entirely emerald green and seemingly condensed from the purest life energy, quietly emerged.
The Demon King, right arm soul bone!
As soul power was injected, the ninth blood-red soul ring on the soul bone suddenly lit up!
Buzz—!
A dense, almost impenetrable green halo instantly spread out from Ye Lingling's center.
The halo was soft and full of a powerful sense of life.
Shrek and his companions were taken aback when they were enveloped by the green halo.
"Healing Soul Skill?"
Ma Hongjun said this subconsciously, with a disdainful smile on his face.
He was about to make a few more sarcastic remarks.
But the next second, his smile froze on his face.
The green light that entered the body was not healing energy at all.
Instead, it was a terrifying poison they had never experienced before, one that they could neither resist nor dispel!
"ah!"
Ma Hongjun let out a shrill scream.
The phoenix flames on his body extinguished instantly, and he collapsed heavily to his knees. His skin turned black at a visible speed, and his life force was rapidly fading away.
It wasn't just him.
Dai Mubai, Oscar, Ning Rongrong, and even Zhu Zhuqing in the distance.
All the Shrek members who were swept by the green light were instantly poisoned by this incurable poison.
The green color, which originally symbolized life and healing, has now become a death warrant.
"Ugh... Ahhh!"
A piercing scream shattered the deathly silence before Jialing Pass, heart-wrenching and inhuman.
All eyes turned to Ma Hongjun.
He knelt on the ground, convulsing, his skin completely black.
It even began to show cracks, with wisps of black gas seeping out from the cracks, carrying a nauseating stench.
His prized phoenix flames were now completely extinguished, not even a spark could be seen.
That seemingly vibrant green light was actually the most domineering life poison, frantically devouring his internal organs, disintegrating his soul power, and eroding his very essence.
"Fatty!"
Oscar gasped and instinctively tried to step forward.
Don't touch him!
Ning Rongrong grabbed him, her voice trembling.
"This poison...is contagious!"
Her own complexion was also not good, and a cold toxin was coursing through her body. If it weren't for the purifying divine light of the Nine Treasures Glazed Pagoda struggling to support her, her fate would probably not be much better than Ma Hongjun's.
Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing are in slightly better condition, but not much better.
The soul power of Evil Eye and Netherworld Cat was suppressed so tightly that they were unable to dispel the venom that clung to their bones.
"hateful!"
Dai Mubai's eyes were bloodshot as he looked at his brother, who was in unbearable pain.
Looking again at the silver-haired woman standing with a sword in hand and an indifferent expression, an unprecedented sense of humiliation and rage surged into his heart.
He, the dignified leader of Shrek Academy and the future Star Luo Emperor, had never suffered such humiliation!
"Zhu Qing!"
He roared.
Zhu Zhuqing understood immediately. With a leap, she transformed into a black phantom and instantly merged into Dai Mubai's body.
"Soul Fusion Technique!"
"Netherworld White Tiger!"
hold head high--!
A deafening tiger roar echoed through the sky.
In a flash of light, a giant tiger, over thirty meters long, pure white with black demonic markings and wings growing from its ribs, appeared out of thin air.
A terrifying pressure far exceeding that of ordinary Title Douluo swept towards Ye Lingling like a landslide and a tsunami.
This is their strongest trump card, enough to withstand a Super Douluo of level 97 or higher.
Faced with this devastating attack, a look of seriousness finally appeared on Ye Lingling's face.
She is, after all, a support-type Soul Master.
Just now, thanks to the special nature of the ninth spirit ring, he unexpectedly and severely injured everyone.
However, she ultimately lacked the sustainability of a direct offensive.
The Netherworld White Tiger's massive body carried unparalleled killing intent, its sharp claws tearing through the air and emitting ear-piercing sonic booms as it pounced straight at Ye Lingling.
Ye Lingling retreated rapidly, her Soul Bone Sword swirling in a series of sword flowers, creating layers of emerald green light as she attempted to defend herself.
However, the power of the Netherworld White Tiger was too violent.
boom!
With just one claw, all the light curtains shattered.
Ye Lingling let out a muffled groan, thrown backward by the immense force, a trickle of blood spilling from the corner of her mouth.
Just as the Netherworld White Tiger's second strike was about to land, its claw, powerful enough to tear mountains apart, was already within reach.
Just then.
Buzz—!
Golden light shone brightly once again between heaven and earth.
The Heavenly Ranking, which had disappeared, reappeared in the heavens once more, its light more dazzling than ever before.
The golden scroll slowly unfurled, revealing rows of brand-new characters, which were then completely fixed in place.
[Nineteenth on the Douluo Continent Overall Strength Ranking: Ye Lingling!]
[Identity: Disciple of the Mortal Sword Immortal]
[Level: 96 Title Douluo]
[Rewards: Top-tier artifact - Nine-Colored Immortal Robe! Soul Power increased by one level! One chance for ultimate evolution of Martial Soul!]
Golden light shone everywhere.
Three streams of light descended from the sky, ignoring the Netherworld White Tiger's violent aura, and went straight into Ye Lingling's body.
An aura even more vast and powerful than that of the Netherworld White Tiger erupted from Ye Lingling!
Level 96... Level 97!
In just a moment, her soul power broke through the bottleneck and reached the level of a Super Douluo!
A radiant, iridescent robe, seemingly woven from the sunset and stars, automatically draped over her body, making her appear like a celestial maiden, sacred and inviolable.
The most astonishing change came from her martial spirit.
The Nine-Heart Begonia behind her, bathed in golden light, began to grow wildly, unfurling nine leaves of different colors, each leaf imbued with a completely different aura of law.
Heal, Poison, Resilience, Speed, Soul Break, Illusion, Purify, Weaken, Amplify!
Nine is the ultimate number!
What was once a single healing martial soul has now transformed into a god-level martial soul encompassing nine top-tier support effects!
The attack of the Netherworld White Tiger was halted in mid-air.
Both Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing felt the soul-chilling pressure from their fused state.
Ye Lingling slowly raised her eyes, wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth, and looked calmly at the giant tiger in front of her.
"Have you finished your attack?"
"So..."
"It's my turn."
The moment she finished speaking, the evolved Nine-Heart Begonia behind her trembled slightly.
The ninth leaf, surrounded by a purple halo, suddenly lit up.
