Chapter 90: Chapter 89: Zhu Zhuqing's Comeback
Tie Long and Tie Hu's first spirit rings glowed simultaneously. As soon as Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong entered the range of their hammers, trying to get close enough to use their spirit skills, they were immediately repelled. Beyond the sheer force of the hammers, a special shockwave knocked Zhu Zhuqing back.
This shockwave was the Tie brothers' first spirit ring skill.
However, Zhu Zhuqing was no fool; she was clever and adept at leveraging her strengths to create an optimal battle environment for herself.
At the same time, Ning Rongrong didn't stay idle. She quickly moved to the back, releasing her martial spirit and spirit skill.
The instant her spirit manifested, the crowd erupted in cheers.
Upon hearing the cheers, the Tie brothers instinctively looked toward Ning Rongrong.
The sight of the small tower emerging around Ning Rongrong made them momentarily stunned.
Anyone with basic martial spirit knowledge knew the significance of Ning Rongrong's Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda.
Their shock, however, was brief, and the determination in their eyes only grew stronger. They had never faced a spirit master with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda before!
With this thought, they advanced from both sides, brandishing their hammers and approaching Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong rapidly.
Yet Zhu Zhuqing remained calm, receiving a dual boost from Ning Rongrong.
She instantly felt her body lighten, her whole form becoming more agile and powerful.
Her deep eyes shifted to cat-like vertical pupils under Ning Rongrong's boost, and in the Tie brothers' gaze, she became a blur, reappearing at their flanks in the next instant.
Instead of clashing with the hammers head-on, she lightly pressed on the side of one hammer, loosening the brothers' defense slightly. Taking advantage of this brief opening, Zhu Zhuqing gracefully slipped through.
The hammers whistled through the air, ruffling her clothes, but they couldn't land a hit on her.
With extreme speed and precision, she kept the Tie brothers on edge.
Seeing an opening in their dense defense, Zhu Zhuqing seized the chance and activated her spirit skill to break through.
"Nether Thrust, Nether Hundred Claws!"
However, the Tie brothers' combat experience was undeniable. They swiftly turned around, knocking her claws aside once more.
Tool spirits excel in their innate abilities rather than enhancing their users' physical prowess. The shockwave effect of the hammers' first spirit ring didn't even require direct contact; as long as Zhu Zhuqing approached within a foot of the hammers, she'd be repelled, making it impossible to complete her attack.
But Zhu Zhuqing wasn't ready to give up and continued focusing on the Tie brothers' moves.
The hammers sliced through the air with a piercing sound, distorting the air and swelling to twice their size under a gray light, signaling a terrifying increase in power.
The Tie brothers had activated their second spirit ring skill, All-or-Nothing.
Zhu Zhuqing furrowed her brows, dodging to the side.
Facing the full-force attack of a Tool Spirit's second spirit ring skill, Zhu Zhuqing, though confident her spirit power was stronger, didn't dare intercept such a powerful blow.
Yet, to her shock, the two hammers suddenly separated mid-air—one aimed at Ning Rongrong while the other swung toward her.
The Tie brothers' second spirit ring skill had a homing effect.
Realizing this, Zhu Zhuqing knew they could no longer afford to wait.
As a competitive spirit, she was unwilling to let defeat happen.
Taking a deep breath, Zhu Zhuqing's gaze turned steely.
Watching the incoming hammers, Zhu Zhuqing's powerful legs launched her forward, her body crouching as she shouted to Ning Rongrong:
"Rongrong, get down!"
Sensing the hammers' power, Ning Rongrong didn't hesitate; she leaped off the arena.
With her out of the way, Tie Hu redirected his focus solely on Zhu Zhuqing.
The hammer hurtled through the air, whistling ominously with each swing.
Yet Zhu Zhuqing remained composed, continuously using her martial spirit's traits and the speed boost from Ning Rongrong's skills to keep the hammers at a controlled distance.
The audience watched intently; even non-spirit masters could tell Zhu Zhuqing was struggling in such an intense situation.
The attack's homing effect seemed absurdly powerful, making this spirit skill seem almost unfair.
Just when everyone thought Zhu Zhuqing was cornered, she smirked slightly and, to everyone's surprise, changed direction and charged straight at the Tie brothers.
The Tie brothers were briefly startled, but quickly realized her intent!
It was too late to evade!
As an Agile Attack-Type Spirit Master, speed was her greatest asset, and with Ning Rongrong's boost, the arena was too small for them to keep up.
In mere seconds, Zhu Zhuqing closed in on them.
With a clear, determined cry,
"Nether Thrust!"
Zhu Zhuqing appeared behind the Tie brothers.
With a loud crash, the hammers fell to the ground as the Tie brothers were sent flying, blood spilling from their mouths even before they hit the ground.
Seeing them mid-air, Zhu Zhuqing didn't hesitate; she unleashed her second spirit skill again.
"Nether Hundred Claws!"
Countless claw strikes rained down from Zhu Zhuqing's hands.
Slash—slash—
The Tie brothers' backs were covered in fine, crisscrossing cuts, and by the time they landed, they had fallen unconscious.
The audience, witnessing this fierce comeback from such a poised and formidable young woman, erupted in applause and cheers, showering her with praise for her thrilling victory.
