Merging with Demon Spirits

Diamond Petrification, this is a soul skill many people dream of.

"Very lucky, an Eighth Tier Demon Spirit can absorb Diamond Petrification!"

A lot of people expressed envy.

At this moment, Zhao Zhou, who had been nonchalant, also became serious. He was a bit surprised that Yun Tianqi had "Diamond Petrification," but that was all.

"Such luck! Is this the reason you dare to be arrogant in front of me!"

Zhao Zhou squinted his eyes, staring at Yun Tianqi, a mocking smile playing at the corners of his lips, as he too entered the Demon Transformation state.

"Ah!"

At this moment, Zhao Zhou hunched slightly, roaring as if suppressing pain. As his body swelled and grew, black spikes pierced through his back, chest, and joint areas, covered in black armor, and behind him, three long, metallic-glowing scorpion tails with sinister barbs gently swayed.

Looking at the Demon Transformed Zhao Zhou, Yun Tianqi’s expression remained unchanged.

Zhao Zhou had refined the Three-tailed Scorpion, ranked 64th on the Earth Chart. Poison Series Demon Spirits generally have low levels, and those on the Earth Chart are even rarer, which is the source of Zhao Zhou’s pride.

Bang!

With the sound of metal collision, Yun Tianqi swung his arms, using scythe-like forelimbs to fiercely knock away one scorpion tail, but in the next instant, the other two scorpion tails lashed out toward him like whips and spears.

The long scorpion tails moved with extreme speed and flexibility, capable of attacking simultaneously from various angles and directions, and the scorpion tail attacks did not hinder Zhao Zhou’s actions. From time to time, Zhao Zhou would shoot a dart or needle with a mocking demeanor, as if intentionally toying with Yun Tianqi.

Facing such multi-directional attacks, most people couldn’t withstand them.

A single slip, and the sharp scorpion tail would pierce their bodies, releasing a terrifying toxin instantly, ending the battle.

Sparks flew as Yun Tianqi swiftly swung his arms, continuously knocking away the scorpion tails, but they didn’t break, sliding like an inescapable curse.

Both he and Zhao Zhou were speed-type competitors, and perhaps because their fighting styles were so similar, Zhao Zhou felt threatened back then, harboring a grudge and suppressing Yun Tianqi for years.

In the Ju Xing Tower, both remained rational, refraining from using large-area attack-type soul skills, but even so, the battle was highly exciting.

As former rivals, Zhang Junhao and others naturally understood Zhao Zhou’s prowess, keeping contact over the years. What truly surprised them was Yun Tianqi.

In Demon Transformation, facing each other head-on, Yun Tianqi was not inferior.

"What? Worried about Yun Tianqi?"

Seeing Ye Xing frowning slightly, Zhang Junhao asked.

"Not really."

Ye Xing watched the battle, shaking his head.

Zhang Junhao smiled and said, "Worrying is natural. To become one of this generation’s ten All-Star players, Yun Tianqi is indeed strong, somewhat beyond my expectations, but he can’t possibly be a match for Zhao Zhou, as Zhao Zhou hasn’t even unleashed his soul skill, otherwise Yun Tianqi wouldn’t hold out for long."

Ye Xing didn’t refute; it was indeed the truth. Although they seemed evenly matched, one was at ease, while the other was giving his all.

Ye Xing wasn’t surprised by this.

Yun Tianqi was only 28 this year, while Zhao Zhou was already 35, with a seven-year age gap, a disparity in strength was normal.

Yun Tianqi’s Lifebound Demon Spirit was only Eighth Tier, yet able to contend to this extent was already impressive.

Ye Xing believed that once the Ghost Shadow Mantis evolved to the Ninth Tier, Yun Tianqi’s strength would climb another level, and with Lin Feng and He Jun’s help in the Avengers Alliance, surpassing Zhao Zhou would only be a matter of time and not long either.

Moreover, with Yun Tianqi’s speed, even if he couldn’t win, he could still retreat safely, leaving Zhao Zhou helpless.

Zhao Zhou clearly knew this too, thus constantly seeking to close in and end the battle with the scorpion tail, but Yun Tianqi didn’t give him the chance, maneuvering around him with speed, awaiting his opportunity.

"Fight directly, isn’t hiding tiresome?"

Just as the battle reached a stalemate, suddenly a young man in a red tracksuit shouted, and as soon as his words fell, a gravitational force emerged from nowhere, making Yun Tianqi’s body suddenly sink.

The next moment, three scorpion tails appeared simultaneously in front of Yun Tianqi, howling through the air, stabbing toward his head, chest, and leg.

"Despicable!"

Yun Tianqi’s face changed, quickly flashing and disappearing from his original spot, and in the next second, the sharp scorpion tails pierced the ground where he had been standing. Using the tail as a pivot, Zhao Zhou leaped like a spider towards Yun Tianqi, with the long scorpion tails ready to strike like venomous snakes.

Yun Tianqi flapped his wings to evade, but due to the gravitational disturbance, his speed slowed, and the three scorpion tails attacked from different aerial angles, momentarily placing him in peril, causing his arm to be cut by the scorpion tail’s barbs, dripping with blood.

"Not good!"

Just as Yun Tianqi sensed danger and prepared to trade injuries, a roar echoed, the ground shook violently, and a figure leaped up.

"Ye Xing!"

As exclamations burst forth, Ye Xing’s entire body emitted red air currents radiating intense heat, appearing like a giant beast above Zhao Zhou’s head, stomping down.

This stomp fractured the air, resulting in a thunderous boom.

"Damn it!"

Faced with Ye Xing’s assault, Zhao Zhou’s expression changed for the first time, cursing and giving up the attack, driving his scorpion tails into the ground, swinging his body away to appear ten meters away.

No matter how powerful he was, he dared not face Ye Xing head-on, as it wasn’t courage, but seeking death.

The distinction of Demon Spirits represented differences in attack approaches. Even if Ye Xing was weaker, his strength gave him an advantage.

"Two against one, is it?"

Upon landing, Zhao Zhou looked at Ye Xing and asked.

Unlike his disdain for Yun Tianqi, he showed more caution toward Ye Xing.

After all, Ye Xing had refined the Frenzied Giant Beast, ranked 46th on the Earth Chart, and was recognized as the top Warrior in the Alliance, posing far more threats in combat strength and potential than Yun Tianqi.

"You broke the rules first!"

Ye Xing glanced at the young man in a red tracksuit and said slowly.

The youth, Xu Mingwei, was a former All-Star from two generations earlier, specializing in Gravity Control, much older than them.

"Zhao Zhou was also affected by gravity, where’s the rule breaking?"

Xu Mingwei chuckled, slowly walking toward Ye Xing, smiling as he asked, "Alliance’s top Frenzy Warrior? Do you really think you can be arrogant in front of me?"

Zhao Zhou also stepped forward, joining Xu Mingwei without speaking, but his gaze was unfriendly.

In his view, for a junior like Ye Xing to take action against them was highly disrespectful.

"Want to test whether I have capability?"

Facing Xu Mingwei’s questioning, Ye Xing’s expression remained calm, but his tone was confidently assertive.

"Alright, truly the top Frenzy Warrior!"

Xu Mingwei wasn’t angry, laughed instead, though his laughter was icy.

In the tense atmosphere, when the battle was on the verge of breaking out, this generation’s ten All-Star players felt either worry or schadenfreude.

No matter how strong or talented Ye Xing was, at this stage, he couldn’t possibly contend with these seniors.

Though they disliked these so-called seniors, just older by a few years and stronger, yet placing themselves high above.

But lacking the strength to compete, they could only grumble and endure.

Xie Yixiao’s expression turned serious, his eyes showing worry, wanting to help. Though Ye Xing had retired, he had been kind to him before, yet ultimately, he stayed in place, saying nothing.

These already-retired seniors appearing here was evidently related to the Alliance’s reform; perhaps the meeting now was discussing their development.

Such significant actions suggested frequent future collaborations, so he didn’t want to offend them, as it wouldn’t benefit him.

The grievance between Yun Tianqi and Zhao Zhou concerned nobody else, even with Ye Xing’s involvement, it was of little consequence.

Yet in many eyes, Ye Xing and Yun Tianqi, as juniors, seemed indeed arrogant!

"Pity Lin Feng isn’t here!"

For some unknown reason, Yun Tianqi suddenly thought of Lin Feng.

If Lin Feng were here, the situation would certainly be different.
