Chapter 290: Chapter 289: The Second Array Plate

Eight streaks of icy light almost instantly reached their front, and their bodies also experienced a momentary stasis. Time Variation Seal! Time Control."Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang!" Eight thunderous explosions rang out in the air as the already speedy ice needles burst open in the air, second acceleration. The eight beams of blue light reached the eyes of the Elephant Demons in almost an instant. Yes, their eyes! The target was their eyes. Under the instantaneous effect of Time Variation Seal, they couldn't even manage to close their eyes.

In an instant, the four Elephant Demons were struck in the brain by the ice needles, and the next moment after they pierced into their brains, the ice needles exploded suddenly.

No matter how strong the external defense, the interior is always fragile. Especially the most vulnerable brain.

The four Elephant Demons almost instantly lost their balance, and the next moment after the Time Freeze ended, they almost simultaneously were flung away.

Meanwhile, that Ninth Stage Elephant Demon had been thrown into the distance without getting up yet.

Four Elephant Demons, dead!

These were two Eighth Stage and two Seventh Stage Elephant Demons, known for their defensive power!

At this moment, not only was the stand instantly silent as a graveyard, but even Wu Bingji himself was somewhat stunned. He couldn't help but doubt, did he really do this?

Could the highly concentrated and condensed ice needles after second acceleration really have such power?

Almost subconsciously, he turned to look at Tang San.

The strategy was set by Tang San: to neutralize the opponent's first round of attacks while targeting the Elephant Demons' eyes with the ice needles.

To penetrate the physical defense of the Elephant Demon Clan with their current abilities was no easy task. But even the most formidable defenses aren't without their flaws. The eyes are always vulnerable, right?

And the ice needles themselves are designed to penetrate defenses. With the enormous size of the Elephant Demons, trying to dodge Wu Bingji's high-speed ice needles under the Time Control of Time Variation Seal, enhanced by the Luck's blessing of the Heavenly Fox Transformation, was nearly impossible. In Tang San's eyes, their seemingly invincible bodies were essentially useless.

Cheng Zicheng's role in the air was to harass, but the real killer was the cooperation between Wu Bingji and Gu Li.

It was just that the scene was too shocking. The eight ice needles passed, and the four Elephant Demons died instantly, their brains shattered, unable to even let out a scream.

Mastering ice needle manipulation, Wu Bingji had been practicing hard for over a year. Under the guidance of Tang San and with the continuously improving control of his Spiritual Power, he had always been diligently cultivating.

That day was just a small test when he blocked Teacher Guan Longjiang. But today was when his ice needles truly showed their might.

Against Guan Longjiang, he had held back, wary of injuring his teacher, but against these Elephant Demons, there was no need. Ice needles with second acceleration, coupled with the exploding Ice Blast. Instantly killing his opponents. Only now did Wu Bingji truly understand how terrifying the power Tang San had taught him was.

Tang San smiled slightly and said, "A thousand maneuvers are no match for one fresh trick. Elder Brother's ice needles can be considered moderately successful." In his eyes, of course, this could only be deemed moderate success. Naturally, this was the judgment of the Godking.

By this time, that Ninth Stage Elephant Demon had already gotten up. When it saw its four companions all lying on the ground, kicking up dust, it even forgot its own pain, unable to believe its own eyes. It hadn't seen at all how its companions had died.

In this moment, what rose in the heart of the Ninth Stage Elephant Demon was not rage, but a thorough chill.

```

What happened? What exactly happened? How was I thrown out? And how did my companions die? Fear and confusion stopped it from launching another attack.

By this time, a minute had barely passed. Sёarᴄh the NôᴠeFire.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

To win a one-minute gamble in the arena, the fight must be over as soon as both sides clash. Just like many in today's audience thought that the Elephant Demon would simply use War Stomp, and all the humans would be shaken to death.

At this moment, after a brief silence, the stands of the Grand Animal Fighting Arena burst into an uproar.

Voices of disbelief, curses, and excitement rose and fell in waves.

"My God! What, what did I just see? Why have four of our Elephant Demon team fallen? How? How did they fall? How did these humans do it? It's incredible, truly incredible. I must regretfully remind all our distinguished guests who bet on the one-minute gamble that one minute has passed," the host shouted in shock.

The Ninth Stage Elephant Demon gasped for breath, blood dripping from its long trunk. Across from it, all five of its opponents had already turned in its direction.

It knew all too well that the opponents would not let it go, that this was a battlefield, the cruelest team battle arena in the Grand Animal Fighting Arena.

No, this can't be happening. The strongest opponent is only Eighth Stage. Kill them, kill them all!

The eyes of the Ninth Stage Elephant Demon turned blood red as it charged again, throwing its trunk and exuding a formidable aura. A grey light burst forth from within its body, the bloodline talent Skill known as Elephant Armor Technique.

Previously, when charging, they had underestimated Tang San and his team, so they didn't even use Elephant Armor Technique. Of course, even if it had been used, at best, it would have protected its trunk from being severed. That would not affect the subsequent changes.

Even Elephant Armor Technique couldn't block Wu Bingji's second acceleration ice needles. Severe injury was inevitable. An Eighth Stage Elephant Demon defending with Elephant Armor Technique might only have its eyeballs pierced and not its brain, but the end wouldn't be much better. This was the compressed power of the ice needles.

Blocks of solid ice appeared on the inevitable path of the Ninth Stage Elephant Demon, and Cheng Zicheng in the sky executed his Golden Wing Cloak Slash, constantly aiming for the back of the neck, the hardest part for the Ninth Stage Elephant Demon to defend. Each attack was heavier than the last, causing the Elephant Armor Technique's defense to burst forth with grey light.

Seeing the Ninth Stage Elephant Demon stumble towards them like a trapped beast, Wu Bingji's mind inevitably recalled Tang San's words when arranging tactics the day before.

"The strengths and weaknesses of the Elephant Demon Clan are equally clear. They possess immense strength and formidable physical defense, using terrifying power to stir the battlefield. However, their weaknesses are also fatal: they lack effective offensive methods, and their abilities are quite singular. Elephant Demons below God Rank have only War Stomp and Elephant Armor Technique as their abilities. As long as we restrain them from unleashing War Stomp, we've basically won. And what we are best at is control."

Looking at it now, it was just as Tang San said. Wu Bingji hadn't expected his ice needle attacks to be so powerful that they would directly kill four Elephant Demons and thus secure the victory.

Following Tang San's signal, Wu Bingji did not continue using ice needles. He relied on blocks of ice to affect the direction of the Ninth Stage Elephant Demon's advance, and Cheng Zicheng continuously harassed it with attacks from the air. Though it was hard to break through its defense, it made the Ninth Stage Elephant Demon increasingly irritable.

"Roar—" The bellow sounded again, as the Elephant Armor Technique's brilliance on the Ninth Stage Elephant Demon suddenly surged like flames, its massive body leaping toward Tang San's group, who were still several tens of meters away, determined to execute its strongest attack—War Stomp. Even a trapped beast will fight.

It was burning its own bloodline. In this state, all control skills would have their effects greatly reduced on it.

"Brother Du Bai," Tang San called out in a deep voice.

Du Bai flipped his wrist, and another Array Plate appeared in his hand; a golden array emerged at their feet, enveloping the four on the ground, while Cheng Zicheng in the air flapped his wings and rose even higher.

"Boom—" Finally, the Ninth Stage Elephant Demon managed to unleash its strongest attack method as it wished.
