Master of Nine Stars
Chapter 252 - 179: You’ve Found the Right People
After pulling Gao Lingwei to her feet, Rong Taotao immediately dropped his saber and thrust the Heaven-piercing Halberd forward!
CLANG!
A crisp sound rang out!
The Ironspear Point met the sharp Frost-Snow Blade on the enemy’s left arm.
The Frost-Snow Blades that lit up on the brothers’ arms could be used for ranged attacks, close-quarters combat, and even defense, making the highly versatile Soul Skill a favorite among the current Snow Realm Students.
In fact, this was one of the Soul Skills that Songjiang Soul Martial University had provided to its Junior Class students.
The older brother crossed his arms in front of him, using the glowing Snow Blades on them to block Rong Taotao’s forward-thrusting Snow Halberd. The next moment, he violently shoved his crossed arms upward.
The immense force sent Rong Taotao’s Long Halberd flying upward.
At that very same moment, as if without any communication, the younger brother seamlessly followed up. Facing the wide-open Rong Taotao, the younger brother swung his arms in a series of mid-air elbow strikes, sending another three or four spinning Frost-Snow Blades shooting toward him!
"Dodge right!" A cold voice suddenly emerged in Rong Taotao’s mind.
Since Gao Lingwei also had a Soul Pearl on her forehead and possessed the Pine Snow’s Silence Soul Skill, she could naturally communicate with Rong Taotao mentally. This way, she could coordinate with the meat shield in front of her while preventing their enemies from seeing their next move.
However, it was rare for Rong Taotao to hear such a cold tone from her.
Faced with the Frost-Snow Blades shooting almost directly at his face, Rong Taotao subconsciously followed Gao Lingwei’s command and hastily dodged to the right.
And the instant Rong Taotao’s figure moved aside, Gao Lingwei’s face appeared in the brothers’ line of sight.
Her right eye, in particular, which was flashing with a dark red light, made the brothers’ hearts skip a beat, and they subconsciously took half a step back!
However, unlike the couple from before, both brothers had Soul Pearls on their foreheads. Even without a proper Spiritual Defense Soul Skill, their performance wasn’t as pathetic, thanks to the buff from their Spiritual Soul Pearl Soul Skills.
Their movements were even surprisingly synchronized. As they took that step back, they both raised their arms, and four rapidly spinning Snow Burst Balls immediately detonated!
BANG!
The sound of all four Snow Burst Balls exploding overlapped perfectly, without the slightest difference in timing. Though they were two separate bodies, it was as if a single person was controlling them.
Gao Lingwei’s heart tightened. She hurriedly braked, instantly raising an Ice Glass shield in her hand.
CRACK... SHATTER~
Although the Snow Burst Balls hadn’t directly hit the Ice Glass, the proximity of the blast was enough to send cracks spiderwebbing across the fragile shield, which then failed to hold and shattered completely.
Forced back by a wave of air, Gao Lingwei’s figure slid backward. The Ice Glass in her right hand had shattered, but she violently swung her left hand forward!
"Yah~!" With a sharp cry, Gao Lingwei flung out a pair of rapidly spinning Butterfly Dual Sabers from her left hand!
The hilts of the Dual Sabers were connected, forming a rapidly spinning, dark gold disc that plunged headfirst into the frosty mist from the exploded Snow Burst Balls!
THUD!
It wasn’t the sound of a blade slicing into flesh, but a heavy, muffled impact!
"Acting like I’m not even here?" an angry roar came from the front right.
Accompanying the muffled impact was a pained cry from the older twin: "Aargh..."
The corners of Gao Lingwei’s mouth turned up slightly. She really loved having a teammate whose mind was so in sync with hers!
What was Rong Taotao’s combat style? Using defense to set up an offense!
But if you needed him to keep up with Gao Lingwei’s pace, advancing and retreating with her, Rong Taotao could do that too.
The moment Gao Lingwei was blasted backward while holding her defensive Ice Glass, Rong Taotao, who had dodged to the right, had already thrown the concussive hammer in his hand...
Indeed, the two brothers, intimidated by Gao Lingwei’s gaze, hadn’t been completely helpless. Although they had subconsciously taken a step back, they had immediately mounted a defense, blasting away the enemy charging at them.
But... on this ever-changing battlefield, the brothers’ reflexive defensive actions were all aimed at Gao Lingwei!
"Stop staring at my Da Wei all the time." Rong Taotao’s movements were fluid, and his motormouth was just as relentless. "O! PEN! YOUR! EYES! AND! LOOK! AT! ME!"
After throwing a Snow Fury, the heavy hammer viciously struck the older twin’s temple. However, the brothers had been standing shoulder-to-shoulder to defend and launch their Snow Burst Balls, so...
The Snow Fury smashed into the older brother’s temple, and his head, in turn, slammed into his younger brother’s.
"Hiss..."
"Hey? Is he bowling?"
"So this kid is the legendary little Taotao, the night watchman of the Martial Arts Hall? Tsk tsk... He’s so fierce, huh?"
Amidst the gasps of astonishment, Rong Taotao followed the heavy hammer he had thrown, pushing off the ground and darting forward. Two Snow Burst Balls in his hands instantly detonated!
BANG!
The stumbling brothers, now tangled together, were instantly blasted out of bounds by Rong Taotao!
"Team 15, eliminated!" The teacher’s voice rang out as he hurried past the boundary line.
Gao Lingwei was also startled and instantly severed the Soul Power Threads connected to her Butterfly Dual Sabers.
Their minds were just too in sync, which led to the Butterfly Dual Sabers she had thrown ending up in the same spot as Rong Taotao’s Dual-Handed Snow Burst!
"Poof..." The Butterfly Dual Sabers instantly shattered into a puff of Soul Power that blew against Rong Taotao’s wrists. The Dual Sabers, which had formed a golden disc, had nearly sliced off both his hands.
