At this moment, Huo Yuhao was actually very confused. He came here to hunt for his third spirit ring, and the Heavenly Dream Iceworm guided him here, saying there was a suitable Spirit Beast of the mental type nearby. Unexpectedly, he saw the Emperor Rui Beast.
The Three-Eyed Golden Lioness now had no good feelings for Huo Yuhao, seeing many Spirit Beasts fallen around him.
She immediately launched an angry attack.
She thought he was one of those who indiscriminately killed Spirit Beasts for Spirit Bones.
The conflict between Spirit Masters and humans was still irreconcilable. For human Spirit Masters to advance, they must hunt Spirit Beasts; this was the law of heaven and earth in this world.
As a Spirit Beast who controlled the power of destiny, she knew very well that this was the current fate of Spirit Beasts. If a Spirit Master only hunted one Spirit Beast for advancement, she could accept it.
Even the Spirit Beast Kings of the Fierce Beast level would turn a blind eye.
However, if it was for Spirit Bones, and led to indiscriminate slaughter, the nature of the act would be completely different.
"Calm down, I didn't hurt these Spirit Beasts. They were brought down by a Cyclops that just appeared," Huo Yuhao hurriedly explained.
He dared not fight the Three-Eyed Golden Lioness. Putting aside whether he could win, according to the Heavenly Dream Iceworm, if he really moved the Emperor Rui Beast, he wouldn't be able to leave the Star Dou Great Forest alive.
Furthermore, without the Eye of Life, Electrolux did not help Huo Yuhao connect with the Three-Eyed Golden Lioness's power of destiny.
He had no confidence in forcibly channeling the power of destiny without the Gold of Life, and without causing any harm to the Three-Eyed Golden Lioness.
But while Electrolux had this concern, another fellow did not.
A powerful and overbearing pressure descended from the sky. Xuan Zi finally appeared.
For him, the second-in-command of Shrek Academy, to personally protect Huo Yuhao on a Spirit Beast hunt showed the importance Shrek placed on Huo Yuhao.
As a Super Douluo of rank 98, Xuan Zi, even if he was just a rank 98 gatekeeper, was still one of the top masters of the current era.
No matter how strong the Three-Eyed Golden Lioness was, claiming to be close to a hundred-thousand-year Spirit Beast, it couldn't be his opponent. Even a true hundred-thousand-year Spirit Beast probably wouldn't last a few moves against this Gluttonous Douluo.
Fortunately, at the most dangerous moment, a fiery red dog suddenly appeared.
"Crimson King?" Seeing this angry large dog, Xuan Zi's expression became incredibly grave, and he stopped his attack.
"Are you Shrek Academy's Gluttonous Douluo?" Crimson King spoke.
Xuan Zi angrily said, "Crimson King, I'm surprised you know me. Considering the agreement between our academy and you Fierce Beasts back then, you make way for this old man and hand over that golden-furred lion behind you."
He was truly enraged. The previous two times he led a team, he encountered major problems.
This time, Elder Mu entrusted Huo Yuhao to him for protection. If anything went wrong again, he would truly have no face to return to the academy.
"Don't even think about it! Whoever dares to touch the Emperor Rui Beast, all Spirit Beasts of our Star Dou Great Forest will fight them to the death!" Crimson King let out a roar and charged fiercely at Xuan Zi.
Xuan Zi, with his Gluttonous Divine Ox martial spirit possessed, his whole body filled with explosive power, charged fearlessly towards Crimson King.
In terms of raw strength, Xuan Zi had never feared anyone.
The outcome was, of course, without doubt. Xuan Zi's strength was not comparable to Crimson King, who was ranked eighth among the Fierce Beasts. Crimson King could only protect itself and was repeatedly pushed back by the bull horns.
Fortunately, Xuan Zi still showed some restraint. Injuring Crimson King was fine, but if he truly killed it and drew out that monster, things would get troublesome. Moreover, his goal was not to kill Crimson King, but merely to trap it.
"Earth Cage!" Xuan Zi repelled Crimson King, accompanied by a roar. A cage formed of dense earthy-yellow light rose, instantly trapping Crimson King within.
Crimson King's three large heads roared frantically, and the dark hellfire erupted like a volcano, attempting to break through the cage.
Xuan Zi, seizing this opportunity, grabbed the Three-Eyed Golden Lioness.
"Scoundrel! Release the Rui Beast, or else this king guarantees you won't leave this Star Dou Great Forest!" Crimson King roared furiously.
"Don't worry, I didn't intend to kill it. It just attacked my student without reason, so it should at least give some compensation," Xuan Zi chuckled.
He had heard the legend of the Emperor Rui Beast, the Three-Eyed Golden Lioness.
Ancient texts recorded:
Where the Rui Beast resides, all beasts are protected. Its lineage is supreme, and humans can channel its power. Auspicious blessings, boundless future.
This meant that humans could channel the power of the Rui Beast to gain powerful destiny. Although the Three-Eyed Golden Lioness simultaneously possessed ultimate fire and ultimate light, its mental power was its strongest aspect.
If Huo Yuhao channeled the Rui Beast's power, it would greatly benefit his Spirit Eyes martial spirit.
"Yuhao, bring your Spirit Eyes close to the Three-Eyed Golden Lioness's third vertical pupil."
"Human, you dare!" The Three-Eyed Golden Lioness immediately knew what this old man intended to do: to make this human channel her power of destiny.
Did Yuwen Tuo mean this when he told her to protect herself?
The Three-Eyed Golden Lioness immediately struggled violently. If she could commit suicide, she would do so without hesitation right now.
Just as Huo Yuhao and the Three-Eyed Golden Lioness were about to touch, a golden sword energy suddenly struck from afar.
"Second Spirit Skill, Break Formation!"
One of Yuwen Tuo's Xuanyuan Sword's second spirit skills, specializing in breaking formations. This sword strike landed directly on the cage.
Although due to the difference in cultivation, Yuwen Tuo could not break it in one strike, he did weaken the power of this Earth Cage. Crimson King, as a fierce beast, certainly had excellent combat instincts.
It immediately charged with all its might, breaking through the weakened cage.
"Yuwen Tuo, well done! Cooperate with me to save the Rui Beast. Hellfire!!!" Crimson King fully unleashed its hellfire.
After four months of cultivation, its hellfire had greatly increased in power, now comparable to ultimate fire. This attack was something even Xuan Zi dared not underestimate.
The Gluttonous Divine Ox opened its mouth, and a golden beam of light shot out, clashing with the black hellfire in mid-air.
Yuwen Tuo seized this opportunity, stepping with his Fire Walk, and in an instant, appeared before Huo Yuhao, his sword striking down from above.
Terrified, Huo Yuhao quickly dodged. He was fortunate to have a million-year spirit ring and his spiritual detection to sense Yuwen Tuo's sword energy in advance; otherwise, he wouldn't even have had time to dodge.
But with this dodge, he no longer had the chance to continue channeling the Three-Eyed Golden Lioness's power of destiny.
"Tuo!" The Three-Eyed Golden Lioness cried out excitedly.
"Get on!" Yuwen Tuo half-crouched. Seeing this, the Three-Eyed Golden Lioness took a small leap and landed on Yuwen Tuo's shoulder.
Upon receiving the Three-Eyed Golden Lioness, Yuwen Tuo immediately retreated, returning to Crimson King's side.
Crimson King's hellfire and the Gluttonous Divine Ox's golden light burst open, and the immense power even pushed aside the clouds in the sky.
Neither side gained the upper hand.
Xuan Zi looked in shock at the man with the Rui Beast on his shoulder. "You are... Yuwen Tuo!!!"
Yuwen Tuo smiled faintly, "Xuan Zi, I've been waiting for you for a long time. I guarantee that this day next year will be your death anniversary!"
