Chapter 178: Exciting of Blood Vessels

Translator: xiiannie Editor: adeadaxe

Sounds of water gushing could be heard as the five dragons emerged.

The Heavenly Sea Pavilion disciples cheered loudly for Kou Wei.

In no time, the five dragons had surrounded the rooftop.

The first harpy threw a glance at the other two. Both of them immediately went to his side and prepared for a joint attack.

The crowd turned green.

These barbarians are that fast?

Kou Wei would've definitely won if it was a one-on-one, but now there was three.... Their strength would surely overpower Kou Wei.

Kou Wei smiled thinly. His mystic light danced in the breeze, and the five water dragons intertwined to block the harpies' way.

Lu Mingshu and Wei Chunqiu spread out immediately as if they were electrocuted.

The crowd watched as the five water dragons stalled the harpies, and then Lu Mingshu and Wei Chunqiu attacked them with their sword-light.

"Wow!"

"This is a brilliant idea!" Tan Yubing clasped her hands together in delight. "Kou Wei uses an eye-catching and grand style, suitable for a straightforward attack, then Junior Niece Lu and Wei Chunqiu attack with their own strong points - their swords."

Shao Zhengyang nodded.

He was still worried at first that they wouldn't be able to cooperate with each other since they didn't know each other that well. However, it seemed like he was just worrying too much. They had all had fought each other and knew each other's abilities well, so it wasn't that hard.

Actually, why should I have been worried in the first place? They're all real elites, they should know better about what to do compared to me.

"It seems that we will be able to win," Tan Yubing said with confidence.

However, Shao Zhengyang chose to play it safe. "Barbarians have their own methods too. I don't think it will be that easy."

"Sure, the barbarians are good in their own ways too, but in terms of mind games, we're obviously better. Look at them now - where's the coordination? It seemed like they wanted to attack together, but their plans were instantly ruined by Kou Wei's skill," Tan Yubing retorted.

True, Shao Zhengyang thought, but he decided to play it safe and not say too much in case it backfired.

The water dragons rampaged around the stage, and sword-light fell from the sky. These stunts made the match more interesting.

Because it was a three-person group fight, the whole match was very open. Kou Wei was situated in the center while Lu Mingshu and Wei Chunqiu were at the sides assisting Kou Wei. In this match, there was so much going on at the same time. The younger disciples couldn't stand it since there was no focal point for them to put all of their attention.

As for the Harmonization Realm disciples, they could feel it even more. An individual fight was more focused on someone's pure power, while a group fight was more about insight, judgement, and timing.

After a while, somebody spoke up hesitantly. "Lu Mingshu is obviously lousier than the other two, so why can't we see her either?"

Indeed. When it came to individual fights, even though it was interesting to watch her, it was obvious that Lu Mingshu was the weaker party. Especially when Kou Wei fought Wei Chunqiu, the difference between her and them became even more obvious.

But during this group fight, she was able to move swiftly, appearing and disappearing unpredictably. She even had good teamwork with Wei Chunqiu. Who said she was the short plank in the bucket? How is that short?

"Maybe group fights are her speciality?" No matter how much they disliked her, that's all they could say.

The three harpies were going insane. When they wanted to attack Kou Wei, Lu Mingshu and Wei Chunqiu would appear and shower them with attacks, forcing them to retreat. When they wanted to attack Lu Mingshu and Wei Chunqiu, Kou Wei would distract them and stall them with his technique.

Seeing that mankind was getting the upper hand and that the harpies had their hands tied, a harpy stood up from their tent and started shouting to them in their language.

The three harpies seemed to be stunned. They stopped going after Lu Mingshu and Wei Chunqiu, and they ignored Kou Wei's distraction. The three of them crowded together back to back and shouted in a thunderous voice.

When the shouting stopped, the harpies were emitting a red light. The red light became more and more magnificent and eventually fused together.

"What is that?"

"That... that is the exciting of blood vessels!" a knowledgeable guy shouted.

The extraordinary strength of the harpies was due to their inheritance. Exciting their blood vessels could activate their potential and increase their ability by a huge amount in the short term. There was a limitation to it, which was that it took quite some time to do it. Back during the war between mankind and barbarians, humans frequently had to hide whenever a harpy excited their blood since they were just like a beast that had gone crazy.

However, they were in the middle of a match right now, and the rooftop was only so big. There was nowhere to run.

The harpies on stage immediately huddled together, with Kou Wei's dragon surrounding them.

"Are they trying to make things worse for themselves?" Wei Chunqiu raised his brows. "Win or lose, it'll be decided now."

"I like their style," Kou Wei answered softly. "But I don't think it's that simple."

Why would they need anyone to help them to excite their blood vessels when it was their natural instinct?

"Yeah, they may have thought of something to deal with us."

As soon as Lu Mingshu finished her words, the harpies dashed over to her.

The first harpy was in the middle while the other two were on the sides, and they launched an attack together!

"Dodge!" Kou Wei commanded.

The three of them went in different directions.

Boom!

The mountain peak under the rooftop started to shake slightly.

The trio became pale after feeling that. Suddenly, the harpies were going after Kou Wei.

Wei Chunqiu saw what was happening and wanted to help Kou Wei, but as soon as he stepped out, the harpy nearest to him chopped his hatchet down under a ray of red light.

Of course, Wei Chunqiu wouldn't dare to fight a harpy that had excited his blood vessel head-on. He dodged the attack and retreated rapidly.

The harpy then went after Kou Wei again.

Only

Seeing this, Lu Mingshu emitted a sword-light.

However, as expected, the harpy nearest to her blocked the sword-light.

She and Wei Chunqiu looked at each other. Now we know what they want.

Since they were weak when it came to fighting in groups, they came up with the stupidest way - forcing it into a three-on-one.

Exciting their blood vessels not only gave them a great increase to their strength, it also connected them to each other to a certain degree, and they were much more sensitive to people of the same race. They moved together in such a way that the first harpy was the main fighter and the other two were his hands. The three attacked together, and whenever somebody tried to disrupt them, they sent one out to fight back.

In this case, their energy had been nicely fused together. Either they would crush Kou Wei in a three-on-one, or they would crush Lu Mingshu and Wei Chunqiu in a one-on-one whenever they came to help. Either way, they wouldn't lose.

However, seeing that Kou Wei was in a difficult situation, Lu Mingshu and Wei Chunqiu had no choice but to help him out. Their room for manoeuvring and coordinating was shrinking.
