Shrek's members were a little hesitant, but sensing Bai's domain suppression, they looked between each other and nodded, quickly preparing to battle. Phantasmal spirits appeared at their back, all of them surrounded by their respective spirit rings, all of them being spirit emperors with the exception of Honjung who was a spirit king and Chenxian who attained the spirit sage realm.
Even if he was strong, it wasn't at the level of facing a titled douluo, in an 8vs1 they have almost the certainty to be able to win against him who was only one realm higher than them.
"Come" Bai signaled, Shrek's member reacting. Oscar quickly chanted something and threw a sausage to the others. They ate the sausage, wings sprouting from their backs, increasing their speed and being able to fly. They orbited around Bai while he stood still sensing them with his Mind Eye.
Mubai punched the air towards Bai, a purple ring shining, innumerable light bullets were shot towards Bai. At the same time, the black ring of Hongjun shined, a meteor shower was formed targetting a wide area around Bai.
Bai looked at both attacks calmly, he held both of his swords and a black ring shined "<5th skill: Sword Rain>". 10 swords appeared around Bai, a gray glow appeared in them changing their form becoming shields. Mubai and Hongjun's attack crashed to the shield "Booom!" both attacks exploded at the shield. Even though they were capable of destroying them, Bai was unscratched, showing that Bai's great control, only using the minimum energy to stop the attack.
Shrek didn't stay without doing anything, Zhuqing and Xiao Wu were already near Bai, each one attacking from opposite sides. Zhuqing's rings shined, her speed was doubled and she thrust her hand that became a blade. Xiao Wu's leg glowed with a pink aura and she kicked Bai. At the same time, a nine-colored light fell over them, increasing their attack power, strength and spirit power. Of course, this light was the supporting skills of Rongrong.
Bai sensing both attacks targetting his side, he extended his arms, both swords took a gray glow as they blocked the girls' attack.
"You will need something stronger to break my defense" Bai quickly sensed an attack from his back. At his back, Mubai roared, a golden ray light shot from his mouth towards Bai. Bai clenched his hand and spun 180º, throwing off Xiao Wu and Zhuqing at the same time. Bai's sword glowed with a transparent light as he slashed the air. Following his slash, a crack was formed in the sky.
Mubai's attack crashed with the crack and disappeared being absorbed by it. Bai didn't waste time, lightning formed around his sword as he charged towards Mubai. Mubai jumped backward followed by Bai whose around his sword flames exploded as he slashed him.
Just as the swords were about to hit him, a Blue-Silver Grass vine bound around his hip and was pushed back by Tang San.
Failing his attack, Bai looked at his feet, a fire formation stood under him. The formation shined brightly and a powerful pillar of fire shot from it, engulfing Bai. This was all prepared, they calculated Bai's movements causing him to fall for their trap, making him stepping on their strongest attack. Even when Hongjun had the weakest cultivation, it was a fact that he had the strongest attack power of them, his strongest technique being necessary to lock the enemy as it could be easily evaded. With their teamwork, they forced Bai to receive Hongjun's strongest technique fully supported by Rongrong skills and Oscar's sausages.
From the fire pillar, two swords showed their tips, one of them glowed with a gray light while on the other red flames roared. Both swords were swung making a cross, completely cutting and extinguishing the fire pillar. Bai stood there, his clothes a little charred.
"We're not finished!" 6 Chenxiangs stood over Bai, all of them with their rings shining pointing their fingers like a gun at Bai "Photon Ray!" The 6 Chenxiangs shot concentrated light rays.
A black ring shined, 6 transparent swords with a hight reflective grade appeared. They had an angle that when the light rays impacted them, the rays were all reflected over Bai were 4 swords stood rotating. The rays were reflected again by the swords, causing them to disperse as a rain of light bullets that fell around Bai, targetting the Shrek's members.
Tang San quickly reacted dragging the already bounded companions outside the attack range. He didn't stop at that, 8 spider legs surged from his back and he charged forward, impulsing with the spider legs and with bizarre footsteps, he crossed the light rain arriving at Bai. At Tang San's hands a Blue-Silver Spear was formed and he thrust it towards Bai.
"It would have been better to use your hammer" Bai said as he swung his right sword, that with a gray glow it had increased its size, blocking all Tang San's legs. Flames surged from Bai's left sword and pierced towards Tang San when suddenly Xiao Wu teleported between the sword's trajectory. All her body glowed with pink light and the sword was rebound from her. At the same, Xiao Wu's braided hair was released and extended trying to cover Bai. This was Xiao Wu's 5th skill and had the power to block the rival until she ran out of spirit energy and would leave Bai completely open to any attack.
As Lightning formed at Bai's swords, Bai trying to quickly evade Xiao Wu, he realized that Silver-Blue vines were bound around his legs, locking him there, it won't be difficult to break with little time, unfortunately, he didn't have this little time.
"Fuck!" Bai spatted. His eyes opened widely as he focused his aura. Just before Xiao Wu was about to lock him, a white aura surged from Bai's swords. "Badum" Like the heart beating, waves of white aura shot from the swords, pushing Xiao Wu and Tang San over. They quickly retreated, grouping with the others of Shreks.
"<Sword Heart: Protection Beat>" Bai had a calm face that quickly distorted "TCh!" Bai had a pissed look. He scratched his head "I wanted this to be a training for my new styles, but it seems that I underestimated all of you. You didn't even use most of your skills. As my plan failed, let me vent my frustration". 7 black rings appeared surrounding Bai as he revolved his spirit power, from his right sword a white calm aura shot while his left sword was covered by a black ominous aura "You forced me" he said looking down at Shrek's members, suppressing them with his presence.
