The light flashed again, and Leng Yue headed straight for the Gray-faced Vulture. The Fallen Lightning was already mostly activated, and as she gradually lost her reason, all she could see was that Gray-faced Vulture.

"Cold Moon, step back! Its attribute battle can be used again!" Little Fatty was anxious and quickly reminded him.

However, Leng Yue wasn't afraid at all. The Gray-Faced Vulture was dual-elemental, but wasn't she?

Upon seeing Leng Yue, he still charged forward, with Xiao Pang fighting alongside her, wielding the Meteorite Plate.

"A mere ant of just over a hundred dares to provoke me!" The gray-faced vulture had already spotted Leng Yue hiding in the shadows. Its eyes locked onto Leng Yue, and it immediately used an attribute-based duel.

"Wait for death!"

With Leng Yue's power reduced to freezing point, Gray-faced Vulture became extremely impatient with her powerlessness. Instead of attacking her first, he leaped into the air and pulled up a wooden vine again, flinging away the power binding him. Gray-faced Vulture then cleaved it in two with a wind blade.

"Dong Quan!" someone in the Fan Hai squad shouted. This was the second person to die in their Fan Hai squad, with no more than ten minutes between them.

Cold Moon's Dark Thrust landed on the Gray-Faced Vulture's abdomen, but without the power boost, the effectiveness of her assassin-type skill was greatly reduced. She had no choice but to abandon the Dark Thrust and instead use Soul Energy.

"Soul Energy Shock!"

The Grey-faced Vulture's soul energy was extremely weak; otherwise, it wouldn't have been momentarily stunned by the Crimson Lotus Squad's soul energy attack and been entangled by their wooden vines.

The soul energy pierced the Gray-faced Vulture's mind. The Gray-faced Vulture, which had been relatively rational, completely unleashed its bestial nature under this attack. Although it was easier to kill when it lost its mind, it was also more dangerous.

"Attack quickly!" Yao Deyao shouted frantically from behind the group.

As expected, after being injured by the soul energy, the Grey-faced Vulture did not bother to avoid the attacks of the two squads. Instead, it wanted to break free of the wooden vines as soon as possible and then wipe out the ants in front of it.

However, precisely because of this, the injuries on the Gray-faced Vulture's body increased at a visible rate. Although the members of the two teams were generally only around the sixth rank, even the ninth-rank Gray-faced Vulture could not withstand the all-out attack.

The Grey-faced Vulture's struggles were not in vain. After inflicting dozens of wounds on its body, it broke free from all the wooden vines that bound it. Zhou Yishui, who had the greatest impact on the Grey-faced Vulture through petrification, was even carried into the sky.

"Zhou Yishui!" Yao Deyao's face showed despair. After fighting for so long, his team only had two people left. Zhang Fa was thrown off the building and died, and Huang Rongxuan was killed by the Gray-faced Vulture when he was in a weakened state due to the broken wooden vine. Now even Zhou Yishui, a powerful shield warrior, was taken into the sky by the Gray-faced Vulture. Although he is not dead yet, his fate is predictable.

As expected, Gray-faced Vulture unleashed a wind blade at Zhou Yishui. Even with his petrification constitution, he was powerless against such an attack. His chest was instantly torn open, and he became a bloody mess within three seconds.

Immediately afterwards, the grey-faced vulture threw the man down, its intention clear: to kill him by throwing him to his death!

"Let's retreat, we have no strength left to fight!" one of the members of the Crimson Lotus Squad said, trembling.

"Go, go quickly!" Yao Deyao didn't hesitate at all. He led Chang Shu down the stairs quickly, as escaping was the best option.

"Can you escape?" The gray-faced vulture swooped down, now free from its restraints, its killing intent surging.

The Vanhai Squad made the same choice. Their captain was dead, and two of the remaining six members of the squad had also been killed. With only four members left, the Vanhai Squad had no will to fight and chose to retreat.

"Cold Moon, we need to retreat too, or we'll just be throwing our lives away!" Little Fatty said in a deep voice.

The situation is dire. The ninth-tier Grey-faced Vulture completely overwhelms them. Even with the combined strength of thirteen people, they are unable to harm it and instead suffer heavy casualties.

Only then could they understand Jiang Yuan's abnormality, killing a ninth-tier demon single-handedly. It should be noted that demons in legends are far more powerful than spirit beasts.

Leng Yue did not respond, nor did she intend to retreat. Her eyes were fixed on the Gray-faced Vulture. This was the best opportunity to kill this ninth-tier Gray-faced Vulture. Hong Lian and Fan Hai had already seriously injured the Gray-faced Vulture. If they fled now, all their previous efforts would be in vain, and the sacrifices made by the two teams would be useless.

With Yao Deyao's departure, the battle of the Gray-Faced Eagle's spiritual energy attributes was resolved. However, neither Little Fatty nor Cold Moon had spiritual energy attributes, so it could only choose one of them to have a battle of physical energy attributes.

Clearly, the Gray-Faced Vulture chose Cold Moon. All of Cold Moon's power vanished into nothingness, leaving her with only 112 points of soul energy.

"You actually dare to stay!" The gray-faced vulture's eyes flashed with ferocity as it threatened, "I will peck off every last bit of your flesh while you're still alive, so you can truly taste the agony of being worse than dead!"

"Fifth-tier True Soul!" Leng Yue has progressed from the first tier to the fifth tier. She has not yet obtained a sixth-tier True Soul, so she can only use the fifth-tier one for now.

True Soul is similar to Berserk, except that the two amplify different abilities. Berserk amplifies physical strength, while True Soul amplifies soul energy.

"I can easily kill you!" The gray-faced eagle spread its wings in the air, its eagle eyes landing on Leng Yue. The next second, the attack was launched silently, a huge energy wave shaped like an eagle's eye.

"Giant's Armor, Condense!"

Little Fatty's heart trembled when he saw the eagle eye, but he still stood in front of Leng Yue without hesitation. Protecting teammates was the duty of a shield warrior, especially since this person was someone he wanted to pursue.

Blood-tinged armor appeared on Little Fatty's body. When Eagle Eye's attack landed, the Meteorite Plate trembled violently. Little Fatty felt a force pass through the Meteorite Plate and strike his entire body. This was different from the physical attack of the Gray-Faced Vulture before; it was undoubtedly much stronger now.

"puff!"

Little Fatty couldn't hold back and spat out a mouthful of blood, staining the meteorite plate red, but Leng Yue seemed completely unconcerned about it; at this moment, only lightning was in her eyes.

"Lightning Recording!"

Silver lightning flashed in Leng Yue's dark pupils. She suddenly realized, "All along I've only been using physical energy, neglecting the role of soul energy! And this Lightning Record is clearly more inclined towards soul energy. Have I been using it wrong?"

The Grey-faced Vulture attacked again. This time, Little Fatty's hand bones broke, his powerful defense was reduced to seven or eight tenths, and his internal organs were also greatly damaged. If he took a few more hits from the Grey-faced Vulture, he would surely die.

"Leng Yue, you go first!" Little Fatty's left hand, gripping the meteorite plate, trembled. He had already realized his limit; if he continued fighting, there would be no chance of survival.

"I understand!"

The light in Leng Yue's eyes disappeared, but although her eyes were now dim, they still revealed an extraordinary aura.

It's as if my soul is imbued with some unique aura, something I can't quite explain.

"Let's go find Brother Yuan, he'll avenge me!" Little Fatty tried his best to protect Leng Yue behind him, wanting her to leave first.

"Wind and Thunder Light Record! Light Soul!"
