Sixth Soul Skill — Lunar Eclipse!"
Zhang Lexuan's face grew even paler.
Maintaining her Martial Soul True Body already consumed an enormous amount of soul power.
Releasing such a powerful technique twice in succession had nearly drained her completely.
At this stage, she was still not the Zhang Lexuan who would later suppress the entire Inner Court with a hundred-thousand-year eighth soul ring.
This time, the effect of Lunar Eclipse was clearly weakened.
It restrained the hundred-thousand-year soul beast for only three seconds.
Zhang Yi and the others immediately followed up with their attacks.
After another concentrated wave of assaults, the Corrosive Blood Devil Tiger finally suffered visible injuries.
Most notably, a sword-wielding Inner Court disciple slashed open a deep wound across its abdomen.
Drip...
Fresh blood fell onto the ground.
The Devil Tiger no longer carried its former absolute dominance.....but its oppressive aura remained.
After all, while it was badly wounded, Shrek's side had paid an equally heavy price.
Ruoling, caught off guard earlier, had been struck by a single palm that displaced her internal organs.
Her bones were shattered, and only the team's sole healing-type soul master was barely keeping her alive.
Out of the fifteen-person team
(excluding Ma Xiaotao and Su Wen),
six had already lost all combat capability.
The rest were injured to varying degrees.
And in a battle of this level, everyone's soul power was being rapidly consumed.
Su Wen scanned the battlefield.
The healing soul master—a handsome young man wearing gold-rimmed glasses....was completely overwhelmed, rushing from one injured teammate to another.
If this continued, his soul power would soon be exhausted as well.
The only good news was...
No one had died yet.
But the bad news was....
If Xuan Zi didn't arrive soon, people really would start dying.
"Pff—!"
Zhang Lexuan forcibly endured the dizziness and unleashed her third major attack.
The effect was devastating.
The Corrosive Blood Devil Tiger howled in pain—
Then activated its innate ability: Blood Frenzy.
Its eyes turned completely crimson as it lunged straight toward Zhang Lexuan.
Clearly, it hadn't expected a group of seemingly fragile humans to unleash such terrifying power.
"Human… die!"
The Devil Tiger roared.
All of its attributes surged dramatically.
The price was severe exhaustion afterward.....during that weakened period, even a ten-thousand-year soul beast might be able to kill it.
But the Devil Tiger had calculated everything.
That single minute of Blood Frenzy was more than enough to slaughter these ants.
"..."
Despair flickered through Zhang Lexuan's beautiful eyes.
The taut string she had been forcing herself to hold finally began to snap.
Her legs faltered.
Around her were either wounded teammates or those desperately holding back the Devil Tiger.
No one noticed her stumble.
Just as Zhang Lexuan was about to fall backward—
A pair of arms caught her from behind.
Su Wen stepped in, placing her arm over his shoulder and supporting her weight.
Fortunately, he had already awakened his martial soul and cultivated soul power.
Otherwise, at barely 1.3 meters tall, there was no way he could have supported a 1.78-meter-tall woman.....even if she was much lighter than she looked.
"Haa… thank you."
With support, Zhang Lexuan finally relaxed a little.
Her lips parted slightly as she spoke in a weak voice.
"Every soul beast that reaches the hundred-thousand-year level awakens a unique innate ability… judging by this one, it's most likely a full enhancement type.
Afterward it will weaken—but even tens of seconds like this are terrifying…"
"As long as we can drag it until the frenzy ends?"
Su Wen asked.
As she spoke, her chest rose and fell gently. Warm, fragrant breath brushed against his neck, ticklish and distracting.
But Su Wen had no room for stray thoughts.
A massive creature nearly ten meters long.....its body drenched in blood, riddled with wounds, yet still standing.....was charging toward them at hundreds of kilometers per hour.
"Yes… I should've had Elder Xuan take you back to the academy earlier…"
Regret flashed across Zhang Lexuan's face.
"..."
Su Wen didn't answer.
"Xiaotao....take Su Wen and go!"
Zhang Yi roared.
This beast's target was Zhang Lexuan.
As long as they stayed behind, Su Wen and Ma Xiaotao would still have a chance to survive.
This was the only thing an Inner Court senior could do for the juniors.
