Douluo Dalu 5: Rebirth Of Tang San

"Let the battle… begin!"

At last, with the announcer's loud call, the fourth team battle of the Shrek Squad officially commenced.

Both sides' auras surged instantaneously. Leading the charge, the two Earth Demon Oxen raised their Totem Poles high and charged toward the Shrek Squad.

Following them closely were the two Blue Fox Demons, their steps light and tails swishing quickly as they advanced. It was evident from the blue gleam in their eyes that they were activating their bloodline abilities.

The Red-Crowned Crane, however, remained unmoved. Suddenly, a pair of pristine wings unfurled behind it.

Obviously, the Red-Crowned Crane could fly! The unassuming longsword in its hands completely lost its sheen, turning dark. The demon fixed its chilling gaze on Wu Bingji, giving him the unnerving sensation of a thorn in his back.

On the Shrek Squad's side, Cheng Zicheng spread her wings and soared into the sky at the same time. The others also unleashed their own Demonic God Transformations.

Wu Bingji raised a hand, and two icicles shot toward the two Earth Demon Oxen.

Not caught off guard, the Earth Demon Oxen smashed their Totem Poles against the ground as they charged.

Accompanied by two booming sounds, the runes on the Totem Poles burst into dazzling light, sending a shockwave over a vast area. The two icicles exploded abruptly, ejecting forwards a second time, almost instantly burrowing into the midst of the shockwave. However, at that moment, the Totem Poles suddenly enlarged, blocking the path of the icicles. The icicles lost their luster, a sign that the ice elemental energy supporting them was weakening, and they were shattered in the next instant.

Just as Tang San had anticipated, these Totem Poles indeed possessed the ability to disperse energy. This was not limited to scattering the elemental energy in the air; it also scattered various negative effects and energy-based attacks as well. It wasn't as thorough as elemental stripping, but it was quite remarkable in its ability to block attacks instantly within a certain range.

Then, two beams of light lit up from the hands of the Blue Foxes behind the Earth Demon Oxen, and two streaks of blue light landed on the oxen. Suddenly, the bodies of the Earth Demon Oxen expanded, and they let out a deep bellow, their eyes instantly turning blood red.

Bloodthirst!

The three-meter-tall Earth Demon Oxen grew further to over four meters. The Totem Poles in their hands were raised high, then crashed down a second time. With an ear-splitting roar, the resulting shockwave surged toward the Shrek Squad like an avalanche.

A halo appeared beneath the feet of the Shrek Squad; in an instant, they had vanished into thin air, leaving only the shockwave sweeping past where they had once stood.

Almost immediately, Wu Bingji fired two icicles from his hands again, this time at the Blue Foxes.

But just then, a figure swooped down almost instantaneously, unleashing a sharp blade of sword energy that it burst forth like a cold star, heading straight for Wu Bingji.

Before the sword even reached him, Wu Bingji felt as though he had already been pierced, his whole body shivering with a sudden chill.

Time Freeze!

The diving figure paused mid-air, and just then, another figure silently positioned itself in front of Wu Bingji. It was Tang San!

Before anyone noticed, Tang San had already summoned a warhammer in his hand, the Sky Shatterer!

He spun around, swinging the hammer directly at his opponent.

There was a crisp sound, and Tang San's body shook violently. His Disorder Wind Splitting Hammer was interrupted, but the diving figure was also sent flying backward, flipping in the air and stabilizing himself with wings unfurled.

The two icicles were flying toward the Blue Foxes when suddenly, a bizarre scene unfolded. The figures of the two Blue Foxes turned ethereal and, with a fierce leap forward, they merged into two Earth Demon Oxen, causing two blue lights to shine above their heads.

The Totem Poles shook the ground, and under the burst of power, the icicles shattered.

Fusion?

Under the fusion with the Blue Foxes, the bloodthirsty crimson in the eyes of the Earth Demon Oxen was instantly replaced by blue. The madness had faded away, yet their formidable strength remained intact.

Witnessing this, the members of the Shrek Squad realized that today's battle would be troublesome. The Great Beast Fighting Arena had not just chosen a powerful squad to face them, but also learned from the previous errors and picked a more appropriate opponent for the Shrek Squad’s abilities.

The "Sword" in the Sword Demon Squad’s name referred to the Red-Crowned Crane, while the "Demon" wasn’t just the Earth Demon Oxen, but their fusion with the Blue Foxes.

After the Earth Demon Oxen swung down their Totem Poles with ground-shaking might, their bodies surged with blue light, and their speed increased dramatically as they charged at the Shrek Squad with the power of a landslide. With each step forward, their aura grew stronger, and the pressure intensified. In their fused state, the two Earth Demon Oxen clearly possessed strength nearing the ninth order, with no weakness in either physical or spiritual power.

Tang San's brow furrowed. The sword energy of the Red-Crowned Crane was not easily blocked. Having parried one strike, he could distinctly feel the intense penetrative nature of the opponent's sword energy as its sharp aura threatened to wreak havoc inside him. He knew that in order to win today, he would need to bring his true skills to the forefront.

With an indifferent expression, the Red-Crowned Crane flashed forward again, not trying to circumvent Tang San. In its hands, the dark longsword conjured a myriad of sword lights, heading straight for Tang San. Meanwhile, Wu Bingji, along with Gu Li and Cheng Zicheng, faced the two Earth Demon Oxen.

The true test of the team battle seemed to have finally arrived with this fight.

Wu Bingji's expression was solemn. Ice formed under his feet, creating a frost path that spread out horizontally. He had used this ability during his first sparring session with Tang San; his control over the ice element was greater while on the frost path, and he could move swiftly.

As he practiced condensing ice needles, it wasn’t just his ability to create icicles that had improved—his mastery over the ice element had also grown exponentially, enabling him to perform once unimaginable feats.

Gu Li did not use his tail hammer to strike the opponents. After all, he was only at the sixth order; no matter how refined his Disorder Wind Splitting Hammer was, it couldn’t allow his sixth-order physique to clash with someone close to the ninth order. Instead, his eyes shimmered, and a pale yellow halo rose, suddenly accelerating Wu Bingji's movement.

Du Bai quickly ran to the side. The array disc required a cooldown period after each use before it could teleport again; it couldn’t be used continuously. He naturally needed to keep his distance as he did not have direct combat abilities.

In the sky, Cheng Zicheng's delicate body spun rapidly, like a golden wheel whirling at high speed, as her Golden Wing Wind Splitting Slash gathered momentum for a powerful attack.

The two Earth Demon Oxen and Wu Bingji were charging straight at each other.Suddenly, the Earth Demon Oxen’s steps paused, and this pause caused the shockwave in front of them to disperse somewhat.

It was the Chrono Croc Transformation ability, Time Freeze!

At the same time, Wu Bingji quickly sidestepped, a spear of ice already formed in his hand.

The ice spear shot out like lightning, tracing a beautiful arc through the air.

The Earth Demon Oxen almost immediately regained their ability to move. Bolstered by the Blue Foxs, their mental defenses were very strong, and Time Freeze could only stop them for a very brief moment.

The Earth Demon Ox on the left swung its Totem Pole at the ice spear.

But it was too late; the ice spear had already detonated in mid-air, the explosion propelling it forward with even greater speed.

Second Acceleration!
