The rampaging full moon still approached Tang San with terrifying speed and power, yet it did not diminish his opponent's forward momentum at all!
Just as Tang San was about to be struck by the full moon, he suddenly plunged into the pitch-black shadow beneath his feet, as if entering water, vanishing from the trajectory of the demon's attack!
"What?!"
With their primary target of rotation gone, the other members of the Shrek Five, moving nimbly in the air, had long ago evaded the demon's attack path.
The demon, having missed, visibly stiffened for a moment. Having temporarily lost its target, to pursue the other Shrek Five now... Dai Mubai and the others had cunningly flown above Yan and the others. If he were to sweep over, their own teammates would also be caught in the terrifying full moon.
Tang San!
Hu Liena and Xie Yue gritted their teeth, calling out that name in their hearts.
As for Tang Sui, they temporarily ignored her, as Tang San currently drew more of their ire.
The demon, holding its breath in an awkward position, prepared to halt the full moon attack.
But in the next second, the demon's target suddenly appeared in front of Yan and the others, still a short distance from the demon, but not impossible to reach.
Since the full moon had already been unleashed, and their spirit power would be depleted anyway, they might as well go all out. Perhaps they could take down both Tang San and Tang Sui!
The moment the decision was made, the demon continued its high-speed rotation, hurtling fiercely towards Tang San.
Clad in black, Tang San stood there, his dark eyes reflecting the ever-growing storm. Pitch-black Blue Silver Grass vines erupted from the ground, not only snaking towards the demon like a moth to a flame but also towards Yan and the others behind him.
The Blue Silver Grass vines, upon contact with the outer storm of the full moon, shattered as usual. As for the vines extending towards Yan and the others.
Yan, attempting to directly burn through the Blue Silver Grass, misjudged its fire resistance. By the time he reacted and applied his explosive attribute, it was already too late. He could only awkwardly dodge and move, avoiding the space that was tightly occupied by the Blue Silver Grass vines like a spiderweb.
The Shrek Five, following Yan and the others, naturally moved as well, displaying a rather tenacious stance.
In a nutshell: wherever you go, we go. Their MVP status as persistent nuisciples was undeniable!
Meanwhile, the full moon, which had charged at Tang San, struck again. As the violent airflow was about to engulf Tang San, he once again plunged into the shadow beneath his feet, causing the full moon to miss.
But the demon was forced to control the powerful full moon to halt its advance, for if they went any further, their teammates would also be swept in. Oscar, flying in the air, expressed his relief. Fortunately, he had received his second spirit ability before Tang Sui charged into the red mist. He still had about fifty percent spirit power, and only needed to consume two "Naughty Mushroom Sausages" each time. It was a battle of attrition!
"No, brother, every time the full moon is about to engulf Tang San, he mysteriously merges into the shadows. Our full moon cannot reach that special shadow space. If this continues, we'll be toyed with by Tang San!"
In the connected mental space, Hu Liena said to her brother Xie Yue with a pale face.
Xie Yue's expression contorted slightly, his eyes filled with unwillingness. Suppressing his frustration, he canceled the powerful full moon, and together with Hu Liena, whose spirit power was almost depleted, they reverted from their Martial Soul Fusion Form, standing on the competition stage with pale faces.
This was the moment Tang San and Tang Sui had been waiting for!
Tang San's left hand, with five fingers spread slightly, clasped the pitch-black Clear Sky Hammer with his jade-like hand. With a step, he lunged towards the spirit-power-depleted Hu Liena and Xie Yue.
Yan, who had been wary of the Shrek team, his eyes blazing with scorching flames, also powerfully stomped on the ground the moment Tang San moved. He shot towards Tang San like a cannonball, intending to intercept his attack.
Flander, watching from the sidelines, curled his lips into a disdainful smile. He thought that Tang San in his first Martial Soul Fusion Form had moved to another position before he and Zhao Wuji could even react. Could a mere Spirit King like you capture Tang San?
Everyone else's gaze was fixed on this scene, their breaths held unconsciously, afraid of missing any spectacular moment.
Under everyone's watchful eyes, Tang San's charging speed inexplicably slowed for a moment.
In that instant, the smile on Flander's lips froze. Yan sprang forward into Tang San's path and, without a word, unleashed his fifth spirit ability, Flying Sand Crazy Flame.
The high heat of the flames distorted the air. Tang San's figure turned into streaks of afterimages beneath the soaring fiery curtain. To Yan's rapidly constricting pupils, Tang San unbelievably broke through Yan's fire wall defense and his inherent scorching rock attack, heading straight for the huddled Xie Yue and Hu Liena.
"What?!"
Yan turned around in disbelief, revealing his defenseless back.
Tang San's gaze, which had been fixed on Xie Yue, curled his lips slightly. His leaping figure, in the next second, seemed to rebound as if touching a spring, closing the distance with Yan face-to-face.
It was a feint?!
Yan's shock had not yet subsided when another colossal dark shadow descended upon him with crushing force!
"Yan!"
Xie Yue and Hu Liena cried out in alarm, their eyes fiercely fixed on Tang San's exposed back. One swung his moon blade towards his straight spine, while the other gathered his remaining shred of spirit power in his hand and struck at Tang San's neck with a palm.
Tang San, without looking back, his deep ink-colored pupils flashed with purple light. To Bibi Dong's utter shock, the Eight Spider Lances, covered in black velvet feathers, suddenly shot out from Tang San's back.
"Nana!"
"Captain!"
The other three members of the Spirit Hall team could only extend their hands and cry out, but the sharp, barbed Eight Spider Lances fiercely pierced the shoulder blades of the two, grazed their waists, and in an extremely tragic manner, pinned them in mid-air by the Eight Spider Lances.
"No—!"
Yan roared, his eyes about to burst.

There's a dinner party tonight, and my old father is drunk. Mo Li still has to take care of this childish drunkard, and she's exhausted. I'll only post one chapter today and make up for it with three chapters tomorrow. I'm tired.
