Chapter 139: Trying to Charm Me? Courting Death
🕑 Added 2025-09-25 04:12:41 +0000 UTC“Shi mo, Shi mo, hold the line and protect Lingling. The rest of you, take out their support first—especially that sausage Spirit Master with the yellow goggles.”
Ignaz gripped his Blood-Thunder War Spear and quickly shattered all the Blue Silver Grass that Tang San sent his way. Then, without hesitation, he activated both his first and second spirit abilities at once.
“I, Ignaz, will entertain you properly. But I won’t even bother using my last three spirit abilities.”
The crowd gasped, as did the Shrek squad now staring down his assault.
“He… he can cast his first and second abilities instantly?”
Before Tang San could even react, Ignaz’s first strike ended, and another thunderous detonation followed. His speed and power surged again.
Tai Long, realizing the danger Tang San was in, stepped forward.
“Demonic Ape Body!”
A yellow phantom of a mighty ape wrapped around him, coating his skin in a faint armor of energy. He crossed his fists in front of his chest and braced for Ignaz’s second strike.
But in the very next instant, Ignaz unleashed a third explosive attack. With his first ability’s Dragon-Change buff stacked on top, his second ability’s third strike landed with nearly triple the force.
Boom!
The Demonic Ape Body shattered like glass. The impact knocked Tai Long back as the Blood-Thunder Spear thrust toward his throat. At the very last second, Ignaz adjusted—letting the spearhead graze past his neck, then twisting the shaft so that the blunt back end smashed into him instead.
Crack!
The sickening snap of bone echoed through the arena. Tai Long was flung across the stage, tumbling until he hit the edge. His neck broken, he lost all ability to fight.
Tang San instantly seized the opening. Pouring most of his spirit power into his fourth ability, he shouted:
“Blue Silver Prison!”
Dark-silver vines erupted from the ground, caging Ignaz completely just as he prepared another strike.
The five remaining Shrek members cheered.
“Zhu Zhuqing, today I’ll make you kneel at my feet, repenting for everything you’ve done!”
“Third Spirit Ability—White Tiger Vajra Transformation!”
A white tiger phantom flared to life around Dai Mubai, doubling his strength and defense. With suicidal resolve, he hurled a punch at Zhu Zhuqing.
“Third Spirit Ability—Netherworld Annihilation!”
Zhu Zhuqing vanished into a shroud of darkness. As Dai Mubai struck empty air, she appeared behind him, her clawed hands slashing into his back. Even with his buff, he could only mitigate part of the damage.
“Aaah!”
Blood sprayed as he spun to counter, but Zhu Zhuqing unleashed again:
“Fourth Spirit Ability—Netherworld Doppelganger!”
Several clones split off, each carrying 80% of her real attack power and boosted speed. Together, they overwhelmed Dai Mubai with relentless strikes. His wounds piled up rapidly.
Roaring in fury, Dai Mubai unleashed a torrent of spirit power.
“Fourth Spirit Ability—White Tiger Meteor Shower!”
Blinding meteors rained down, threatening to hit even himself. Zhu Zhuqing quickly retreated.
“I’ve got you now, Zhuqing! Die!”
“Second Spirit Ability—White Tiger Light Wave!”
A searing white beam lanced toward her, but at that exact moment, the arena floor collapsed into a swampy mire. His Light Wave veered off target.
Then a white dragon tail slammed down toward him—Dugu Yan’s third ability. Exhausted, Dai Mubai had no strength left to block.
“Boss Dai!”
The other Shrek members cried out. Jiangzhu hurriedly used her third spirit ability, bolstering Dai Mubai’s defenses and power just enough to keep him alive. But as he staggered upright, Zhu Zhuqing spun and lashed out with a brutal whip-kick.
Thud!
Her strike sent him crashing into the stage wall, coughing blood.
In less than half a minute, Shrek had lost two of their main attackers. Tang San’s team was now cornered.
Oscar quickly tossed sausages forward.
“Third Brother, everyone, catch!”
They swallowed them in unison. Dark-blue wings sprouted from their backs, lifting them out of the swamp and into the sky.
Boom!
Ignaz tore through the Blue Silver Prison in less than a second. As he prepared his second ability again, Tang San used the moment of collapse to cast his second spirit ability, Parasitism.
Blue Silver Grass sprouted over Ignaz’s body, draining his spirit power.
“You think pathetic Blue Silver Grass can drain me?”
Ignaz shuddered once, and the parasitic vines withered instantly. Using a stone pillar Dugu Yan had raised as a springboard, he launched himself forward, spear thrusting at Tang San.
But airborne, Tang San narrowly dodged.
Too late. Ignaz was already behind him.
“Pointless. You can’t escape.”
His spear darted forward, only to be intercepted by the Clear Sky Hammer in Tang San’s left hand. The blow disrupted Ignaz’s second strike, but his third came immediately after.
Bang!
Though Tang San blocked, his arm trembled violently from the impact.
“Second Spirit Ability—Thunder-Slaying Triple Kill!”
“Again?!”
Tang San nearly broke down as Ignaz’s relentless spearplay closed in from all directions. Just as the weapon was about to pierce him, Xiao Wu acted.
“Charm!”
Her second ability froze Ignaz mid-thrust. For one heartbeat, it worked.
But not even a second later, his killing intent shattered the charm like glass.
The backlash slammed into Xiao Wu instead. Her face twisted in agony.
“Aaaah!”
Clutching her head, she plummeted toward the ground in unbearable pain.
