Tang San turned his head towards Gu Li and said, "Senior Brother Gu Li, later you just focus on that Money Leopard, slow down its flow of time, don't give it a chance to charge. Brother Du Bai, at the start of the match, blink backwards immediately, prioritize the teleporting disk. First brother, as planned, store energy.""Okay!" Everyone responded in unison.

Wu Bingji's eyes flickered with white light, as the rich ice element waves began to rapidly store energy, while behind him, Tang San was already surrounded by a swirling blue glow.
"Let the battle begin!" Accompanied by the host's high-pitched shout, the battle started!
The Bloodlight Squad formed by the five-headed Leopard Demons launched an assault almost instantaneously. The Money Leopard vanished in a blink, and when it appeared the next instant, its huge form was already directly in front of Wu Bingji, its sharp claws aimed straight at Wu Bingji's head. The terrifying bloodline power condensed into a golden claw shadow, as if it wanted to tear the entire world apart.
It was too fast! In just an instant, it was in front of its opponent. The capabilities of the golden bloodline were not at all like those of the ordinary Flash Leopards, whose blinking still had a short-distance limitation. Its cold eyes narrowed into slits, and its entire body seemed to emit a bloody scent. Its striking claw even tore the air apart, the attack was too fast. Gu Li's Time Variation Seal couldn't lock onto it in time.
But it was at this moment that Wu Bingji's figure vanished within the shadow of the claw, disappearing into thin air in less than a blink of an eye.
Wu Bingji could even feel the chilling coldness of that claw shadow, that horrifying and sharp power, as if it was about to shred his body to pieces. But in that critical moment, he still managed to dodge it.
Naturally, the one that helped him dodge was the teleporting Array Plate! This was more than just the ability to teleport, there was even an element of luck bestowed by the Heavenly Fox Transformation, otherwise a moment slower and he might have been vulnerable to the opponent's attack.
In a corner of the stands, the Bloodthirsty Devil Ape grinned, the Array Plate's teleporting was good, but could it compare to the Leopard Demons' direct bloodline talent for teleportation? Especially the Leopard Demons with the golden bloodline. Could their Array Plate's activation be faster than the Leopard Demons' direct use of their bloodline talent?
These Leopard Demons' speed was indeed incredibly fast. The moment the Money Leopard missed its swipe, the remaining Flash Leopards had almost instantly arrived in front of it.
But at that moment, just as the Money Leopard was about to blink again, chasing after the already teleported Shrek squad, its movements suddenly paused for an instant. The effect of the Time Variation Seal finally came into play.
At the same time, on the Shrek squad's side, a burst of ice fog suddenly erupted from Wu Bingji. The ice fog burst out in front of him like a jet, instantly enveloping an area with a diameter of over ten meters, making it impossible for the five Leopard Demons to pinpoint their exact location.
However, the Money Leopard did not pause at all, and after being briefly disrupted by the Time Variation Seal, it vanished again in the next instant.
When it reappeared, it was three meters above the diagonally upward direction of the ice fog. A pair of claw swipes sent golden claw shadows swiftly crashing down, the terrifying golden light slicing through the fog like a meat grinder, slashing frantically into the mist. The other four Flash Leopards quickly dispersed, pouncing in different directions across the Grand Animal Fighting Arena, ready to strike as soon as the Array Plate teleported them close again.
The ice fog churned under the assault of the golden claw marks without feeling of hitting a solid body, and the Money Leopard's form then paused again, naturally falling towards the ice fog below during this short stagnation.
The Ninth Stage Money Leopard naturally would not allow itself to fall into danger, it blinked and suddenly appeared ten meters away, observing the ice fog before it. At this moment, the five members of Tang San's team did not teleport to another corner.
However, in that brief period, the ice fog had expanded its reach, and the surrounding air grew increasingly cold. The ten-meter diameter ice fog, seemingly stimulated by the Money Leopard's assault, quickly expanded to a diameter of thirty meters and beyond.
The dense ice fog erupted in the air and quickly stirred, spreading swiftly with a chilling coldness. Within the ice fog, faint bluish glows flickered, clearly influenced by the wind element, which is why the fog expanded so rapidly.
This spreading ice fog even swept towards the Money Leopard as if intending to envelop its body.
The Money Leopard did not plunge into the ice fog, obviously aware that once it was trapped inside, there was potential danger. It had heard rumors about the Shrek Sniper Team, and it was very wary of Wu Bingji's ice needles. It did not believe its skull was harder than the opponents that the Shrek squad had faced before. It was just confident in its teleporting ability.
In this brief period, the ice fog continued to expand, and from the perspective of the stands, it could be seen that as the fog expanded, it began to spin rapidly.
At this very moment, however, the spectators in the stands were hissing with disapproval. There were even many angry curses being voiced.
The reason for their anger was simple. Both the Shrek Sniper Team and the previous Bloodlight Squad were famous for their quick victories in battle!
The rapidity of the Bloodlight Squad and the swift headshots of the Shrek squad had resolved all previous matches in at most five minutes. Therefore, when placing their bets today, naturally, they all opted for the fight to end in a short time.
But who could have expected the battle to turn out like this, with the ice fog continuously spreading, spinning, and expanding without any sign of attack?
With this delay, how long would the battle last? Many spectators who had guessed the match time to be around three minutes were already losing.
Even the host didn't know what to say at times like this.
The Five-headed Leopard Demon did not continue to scatter but slowly closed in, constantly trying to use remote attacks to penetrate the ice fog in an attempt to probe the location of their opponent.
However, the ice fog was spinning, and there even seemed to be snowflakes flying within. Their attacks vanished without a trace as soon as they entered the ice fog, as if they were throwing stones into the sea—how could they possibly detect the location of their opponent?
Doubt flashed in the eyes of the Money Leopard. In just these few minutes of standoff, the rapidly spinning vortex had already covered nearly one-third of the arena, with the enemy completely inside and them on the outside, their space being compressed. What if the opponent truly had the power to expand this ice and wind vortex to cover the entire Grand Animal Fighting Arena?
The originally confident Ninth Stage Money Leopard's gaze began to grow serious, knowing it could not wait any longer. Otherwise, it and its companions might be faced with the outcome of defeat and destruction.
With this thought, it let out a fierce roar to the sky, and in an instant, the bodies of the other four Eighth Stage Flash Leopards tensed up.
The next moment, the Ninth Stage Money Leopard was the first to charge towards the ice and wind vortex. In an instant, it disappeared with a flash, diving right into the midst of the swirling ice fog. The other four Eighth Stage Flash Leopards followed swiftly, using Leopard Flash to burrow in, not giving their opponents a chance to lock onto their specific positions for attack.
And in fact, did Tang San need to lock onto their exact positions? The answer is, of course… no!
Before today's battle began, Tang San had already surmised that this third fight might be targeted specifically against him. And the most crucial target was the teleporting Array Plate. With the flexibility provided by the Array Plate, they were practically invincible when facing an ordinary opponent. So, how to defeat them? It was necessary to counter their Array Plate. To counter teleporting, speed was essential. Otherwise, they would be dominated by the teleporting Array Plate combined with long-range ice needle attacks.
