That one word — "Trash" — instantly shattered Tang San's mental state, and his emotions completely exploded.
"Ah!!! You forced me! Dragon Beard Needle!!!"
Tang San pulled out a concealed weapon — the Dragon Beard Needle — from his belt.
He used the Tang Sect's hidden weapon technique: Batwing Reincarnation!
This technique allowed the Dragon Beard Needle to strike from various directions and angles toward Jiang Xiaofeng.
Jiang Xiaofeng murmured in surprise,
"You can even use hidden weapons? And judging by your technique, you're quite skilled at it. But maybe you don't know — cultivators like me aren't something your petty little gadgets can hurt!"
"Break!!!"
A shockwave burst from Jiang Xiaofeng's body. No matter from which direction the needles came, not a single one could touch him.
Even the few that made contact left nothing but the faintest scratches — they didn't even pierce the skin, only produced a clinking metallic sound.
Jiang Xiaofeng patted the Dragon Beard Needle remnants off his shoulder. Seeing the tiny needles, he shuddered slightly — not because they could harm him (they couldn't even break his defense), but if Hu Liena or others had been hit, the results could've been nasty.
Casually, Jiang Xiaofeng flicked a needle straight into Tang San's shoulder.
"Ah!!!"
Tang San clutched his arm in pain.
He quickly pulled the needle out using a practiced motion.
Looking at the pained Tang San, Jiang Xiaofeng said helplessly,
"Is this all you've got? You're not even qualified to be my opponent."
"Heh, don't be so sure!"
Before the words had even finished—
Tang San, relying on the external soul bone — the Eight Spider Lances, and his own spirit power, rushed at lightning speed toward Hu Liena and the others.
"One Step to the Horizon!"
This move, which Jiang Xiaofeng had mastered to perfection, was faster than Tang San.
However, Tang San's Eight Spider Lances still managed to touch Hu Liena's arm first.
A scream echoed as Hu Liena fell to the ground.
The arm struck by the Eight Spider Lances had already turned black — clearly a sign of poisoning.
Jiang Xiaofeng grabbed one of the spider lances and slashed it off using his Zhuxian Sword.
"Ah!!!"
Tang San screamed in agony.
"Give me the antidote!"
Tang San grimaced in pain but laughed.
"What now? You still lost, didn't you? The poison from my external soul bone can only be cured by me. Beg me!"
Without another word, Jiang Xiaofeng tossed the severed lance to the ground and stepped in front of the girl named Xiao Wu, lifting her up by the neck.
"If you don't cure the poison, I'll kill her right now!"
Xiao Wu, awakened from her faint, began to struggle desperately.
Seeing Tang San on his knees, a spider lance broken, blood at the corner of his mouth—
"Brother! Are you okay? Let me go!"
Jiang Xiaofeng barked,
"Tell your brother to detox my teammate, or none of you are leaving here alive today!"
As he spoke, the force of his grip increased. Xiao Wu struggled desperately, unable to even speak.
Tang San shouted,
"Let her go! I'll detox her right now!"
Jiang Xiaofeng threw Xiao Wu to the ground.
"Hurry up! Her whole arm's turning black!"
Looking at the agonized Xiao Wu, Tang San clenched his teeth and furiously extracted the poison from Hu Liena's arm.
Once her arm returned to normal, Tang San immediately raised his hand in surrender — he had no desire to continue. There was no point anymore.
Only then did the referee stroll out leisurely.
"I declare the winner of this match: Team Fengshen!"
Tang San glared at Jiang Xiaofeng in rage, completely powerless. At that moment, Yu Xiaogang and Flender stormed down from the stands.
Yu Xiaogang pointed at Jiang Xiaofeng and yelled,
"Such cruelty at your age! Is this what your teacher taught you? As expected — like teacher, like student!"
Jiang Xiaofeng's face darkened, his eyes filled with murderous intent.
"Yu Xiaogang, I dare you to say that again!"
But Yu Xiaogang just sneered, completely dismissing Jiang Xiaofeng.
"Am I wrong? That ruthless woman became your teacher, and you've inherited her cruelty. External soul bones are like a part of one's body. You cutting off a spider lance is like severing his limb. That's poison! Did I lie?"
"One Step to the Horizon!"
"Tiger Fist, Second Move: Explosion!"
In the blink of an eye, Jiang Xiaofeng, who had been so far away, appeared right in front of Yu Xiaogang, a blazing fist aimed straight at his face.
"Screee!!!"
A hawk-like cry rang out as Flender, beside Yu Xiaogang, blocked the punch.
"You little punk! Don't be so arrogant. It's not your place to teach your elders a lesson!"
Jiang Xiaofeng frowned as he looked at his captured fist.
So this was a Soul Sage? The speed and strength were on a completely different level. Even with his full power behind that punch, it didn't move Flender at all.
"A mere Soul Sage dares act tough? Get lost!!!"
A Soul Douluo descended from the sky, also with a bird spirit.
Flender had no choice but to release Jiang Xiaofeng and face the new challenger.
At this point, Hu Liena and the others rushed down in anger.
"Brother Feng, are you alright?"
Jiang Xiaofeng said coldly,
"I'm fine. It's just that this foul-mouthed man is making it real hard not to punch him!"
"Brother Feng, how about we just wipe them out now?"
Yan, burning with fury, was already surrounded by blazing flames — ready to erupt at any moment.
Conflict had erupted in the 7v7 Soul Arena. The arena staff quickly rushed in.
Fights between Soul Saints and Soul Douluos were beyond ordinary spectators.
Even high-level soul masters were rare in these arenas, let alone Soul Saints.
Flender was powerful — as a Soul Sage, he could go toe-to-toe with a Soul Douluo.
Though on the defensive, he wasn't defeated immediately.
"Everyone, stop!!!"
A booming voice echoed out.
An old man stepped into the air.
Nine soul rings lit up around him — a Title Douluo.
"No private fighting in the Soul Arena. If you two keep this up, don't blame me for being rude!"
The moment a Title Douluo appeared, all combat ceased.
That's a Title Douluo, after all. No one below that level could possibly compete.
Yu Xiaogang was the first to complain.
"Title Douluo sir, this participant deliberately injured my disciple! He's severely violated Soul Arena rules — I request immediate disciplinary action!"
