Soul Land 5: The Rebirth of Tang San - Chapter 312: Bloodline Burning

Chapter 312: Bloodline Burning

Du Bai’s premonition was not wrong; if Tang San went all out, he could naturally win this battle all by himself. However, faced with such a situation, Tang San did not rush to unleash his power. Instead, he hoped his companions would truly forge themselves under this pressure. In the Great Beast Fighting Arena, they faced real life-or-death threats.

In the face of death, one can either cower in fear or burst forth with all one’s might!

Bang!

Gu Li finally met head-on with the Earth Demon Ox. Despite the hindrance of the ice shield and the effect of Time Freeze, the Totem Pole finally arrived. And the moment Gu Li’s tail hammer collided with the opponent’s weapon, he was unsurprisingly blasted into the air.

The scales on the surface of the tail hammer cracked, clearly dented, and Gu Li was thrown onto the ground. Although his defense was commendable, the impact was simply too severe. Blood spurted from his mouth, a sign of internal injuries.

Seeing Gu Li being blasted away, Wu Bingji felt a rush of blood to his head and roared in anger. The aura of the ice element around him surged. His figure flickered, and like lightning, he charged toward the Earth Demon Ox, aiming his ice spear directly at the opponent’s waist.

The corner of the Earth Demon Ox’s mouth revealed a cold smirk. It had been waiting for this, as it most enjoyed close combat.

The Totem Pole in its hand smashed toward the ground like lightning, and with a dull thud, the ground cracked open. The terrifying shockwave flung Wu Bingji into the air, and what was more horrifying was the dispersing effect it had, which significantly weakened the ice fog around Wu Bingji’s body.

The Earth Demon Ox used the recoil force to bring his Totem Pole up and swing horizontally, aiming directly for Wu Bingji’s midsection. Given Wu Bingji’s lack of defensive capabilities, a hit would almost certainly be fatal.

But just then, a streak of golden light swiftly dove down and scooped up the soaring Wu Bingji—it was Cheng Zicheng.

Seeing her companions in danger, she immediately abandoned her own opponent to come to their aid.

However, the other Earth Demon Ox had no intention of pursuing her; instead, it charged directly toward Gu Li, who was lying on the ground in the distance.

With the Blue Foxes’s empowerment, the Earth Demon Oxen handled the battle with extreme precision. Any reduction in their opponents’ numbers virtually guaranteed their defeat in such group fights. Gu Li, who possessed the Chrono Croc Transformation, was particularly troublesome; thus, they decided to eliminate him first.

Held aloft by Cheng Zicheng, Wu Bingji quickly regained his composure. His eyes sparkled with a cold light; he knew that their team might collapse without a breakthrough, and he would have to watch as each of his companions fell in battle.

A purple-golden light flickered in his eyes, elevating his spiritual power to its peak.

“Chengzi, let go of me. Move away.”

Hearing this, Cheng Zicheng released her hold. She could feel that Wu Bingji had changed somehow in that instant.

A sudden burst of icy blue light exploded from Wu Bingji. The dazzling icy blue halo instantly blossomed, seeming to drop the temperature of the entire Great Beast Fighting Arena at that moment.

As the team captain and the eldest brother to all, Wu Bingji had only one mission: to ensure that his junior brothers and sisters would survive and return.

His spiritual power burned, and his bloodline power boiled. The ice elemental energy surrounding him churned wildly, and Wu Bingji suddenly floated in mid-air, supported by this energy.

He swung his right hand, and a beam of icy blue light descended from the sky and struck not the opponent but Gu Li.

Instantly, solid ice enveloped the area, forming what looked like an ice coffin around Gu Li. The next moment, Wu Bingji was sent flying by the Earth Demon Oxen. The ice coffin cracked but remarkably did not shatter, a testament to the ice’s resilience.

A blue flame also rose from Wu Bingji in that instant—his bloodline power was ignited! He was fighting desperately now. The burning of his bloodline power would significantly increase his strength temporarily. On the other hand, he would suffer severe aftereffects, and if the burning lasted too long, his bloodline power might even dry up and cause him to die.

But at that moment, he could no longer concern himself with the consequences. All he thought about was defeating his opponents.

Burning one’s bloodline power was not something just anyone could achieve; only those with powerful bloodlines had the foundation, and they also needed sufficiently strong spiritual power to stimulate the bloodline power to that extent.

Faced with a life-or-death crisis, as he saw his companions about to be slain by the enemy, Wu Bingji finally resorted to this ability. An ice spear suddenly formed in his hand, as clear and bright as a piece of blue crystal. His burning bloodline power crazily surged into the spear.

When the ice spear appeared, the two Earth Demon Oxen on the ground looked up at him almost simultaneously. Even the Red-Crowned Crane, who was busy dealing with Tang San, momentarily paused its attacks as it felt a strong sense of danger emanating from above.

The burning icy blue flames looked ever so magnificent in the air.

It was a display of determination and, even more so, of true do-or-die resolution.

Wu Bingji was powering the ice spear in his hand with his own life.

“Eldest brother!!!”

Cheng Zicheng, who was closest to him, could feel the life force rapidly draining from Wu Bingji.

Ever since she first met Wu Bingji, she had been deeply attracted to him. He always smiled gently and cared for every one of his junior brothers and sisters. He helped them with their problems and guided them in cultivation. He was in every way a true big brother to all the students and was admired by everyone for his strength and willingness to help; everyone liked him.

The naive girl didn’t know the exact moment that her heart had silently pledged itself to him, but as she grew older, her affection deepened.

She once heard Teacher Mu Yunyu say that fondness was like a gentle love, and love was like a deep fondness. She wasn’t sure if her fondness was deep enough, but she always knew that being with him made her especially happy.

Now, as she felt Wu Bingji’s life force draining away and sensed the impending aura of death in the Great Beast Fighting Arena, the love in her heart seemed to explode, igniting her soul.

On the ground, blue light flickered in the eyes of two Earth Demon Oxen—clearly a sign of the Blue Foxes enhancing their intelligence. They instantly sensed the immense threat that Wu Bingji posed right now. They suddenly ran toward each other, one Earth Demon Ox hoisting its Totem Pole horizontally while the other leaped and landed on it.

With all its might, the Earth Demon Ox on the ground flung the immense body of the other upward, hurling it straight at Wu Bingji, who was about ten meters above the ground. At the same time, the one being flung used a stomping ability to launch itself upward at top speed. The Totem Pole in its hand blazed with light, ready to unleash its power. Its aim was simple: interrupting Wu Bingji’s attack and knocking him down from the sky.

“AAAHHH!!!”

Just then, a scream erupted, and immediately after, the entire Great Beast Fighting Arena lit up as if a small sun had suddenly appeared in the sky. The blinding golden light forced all the spectators to focus on it.

The golden stream of light, spinning like a tornado of falling meteors, collided instantly with the soaring Earth Demon Ox.

Amid a fierce roar, the Totem Pole in the Earth Demon Ox’s hand was brutally slashed in half, and its sturdy chest burst with blood as its massive body plummeted to the ground.

The golden figure was also flung away, crashing into the distance.

Just then, a bright azure light descended from the sky, chasing after the falling Earth Demon Ox and vanishing in a flash, as if piercing through heaven and earth.N/nêw n0vel chap/ers are published o/n n0v/e/(lb)i(n.)co/m
