"You won't escape."
A cold, low voice echoed.
Another flash of blood-red light streaked across the sky, chasing after the flames.
Yan Shaozhe's expression shifted slightly. He felt like he'd heard that voice before.
As everyone tensed up, Huo Yuhao perceived something. He immediately shouted, "Teacher, save that flame!"
Old Xuan and Zhang Lexuan looked puzzled. Yan Shaozhe, however, glanced at the serious Huo Yuhao. At that moment, as a teacher, Yan Shaozhe chose to trust Huo Yuhao. His body flashed, and a pair of brilliant golden wings unfurled behind him, bathing the sky in a dense golden light.
The next moment, endless golden light flew into the air, enveloping the flames.
Simultaneously, a beam of Holy Phoenix light shot out to meet the blood-red light head-on. The two forces exploded in the sky, almost painting the world. Half the sky was crimson, the other half glorious. The intense fluctuations of soul power suppressed all the soul beasts within several dozen miles, causing them to cower in fear.
"Something's not right. This is the aura of an Evil Soul Master." Yan Shaozhe's expression immediately changed the moment his soul power touched the surface of the blood-red light.
At that moment, the flames dispersed, revealing two figures.
Yan Shaozhe's gaze met theirs, and both sides looked equally surprised.
"Humans?"
"Red King?"
While Yan Shaozhe was surprised, he noticed several powerful auras rapidly approaching from a distance.
"Are humans hunting you?" Yan Shaozhe's gaze became serious. In the past, they had signed an agreement with the Star Dou Great Forest, prohibiting any humans from entering to hunt soul beasts over a hundred thousand years old. If the Red King was being hunted today, it would inevitably affect Shrek City.
"No, they're after the Auspicious Beast." The Red King's expression was fierce.
They had rushed here, only to be attacked suddenly. If he hadn't reacted so quickly, that single strike might have killed the Auspicious Beast.
After the encounter with the Dragon God Douluo previously, the Red King had specifically trained a skill to escape with the Auspicious Beast. He hadn't expected to actually use it after only a month of practice.
He hadn't even considered that the people from Shrek had scared him the last time, and now, the people from Shrek were also helping him.
Come to think of it, they were quite fated.
"Hunting the Auspicious Beast?" Yan Shaozhe's breath hitched. He then noticed the lion-like soul beast protected by a ball of soul power. It was indeed the Auspicious Beast.
Damn it, if the Auspicious Beast died, Di Tian would definitely cause trouble for Shrek City. Who the hell had the guts to harm her? If I don't cause you trouble today, I'll write my name backward.
A surge of anger rose within Yan Shaozhe.
"Bright Phoenix Douluo?" Suddenly, a voice, tinged with surprise, rang out. "I didn't expect you to be helping Soul Beasts."
The next moment, six figures appeared in the sky, but they didn't hover together. Instead, they spread out, surrounding the area.
The person in the lead stared at Yan Shaozhe, the Red King, and the Auspicious Beast with a strange look in his eyes.
Yan Shaozhe and the Red King became wary; this person's cultivation was definitely far beyond theirs.
In contrast, the Auspicious Beast was completely calm. A jet-black dragon scale on her claw had already shattered; she had crushed it herself.
The Red King's actions had been too quick, leaving her no time to summon Di Tian. Now that she had a moment, she naturally immediately called for backup.
Old Xuan, below, also noticed something was amiss. He was just about to act, intending to send the students away before returning to help, when a voice entered his ears. He couldn't help but stop his movements abruptly, and his heart relaxed a little.
"Don't worry, unless Di Tian himself descends today, everything will be fine," Old Xuan explained, seeing Zhang Lexuan's confusion.
Zhang Lexuan and the students were stunned, only Huo Yuhao vaguely guessed something.
The sky.
"Evil Soul Master?" Yan Shaozhe stared coldly at the person covered in a black robe, his soul power surging, ready to erupt at any moment.
Zhongli Wu spoke in a detached tone, "Our target today is the Imperial Auspicious Beast. It has nothing to do with you. If you are sensible, leave now, or with your cultivation, you won't be able to leave later."
Yan Shaozhe vaguely guessed this person's identity and sneered, "Can't leave? On this vast Douluo Continent, only a Limit Douluo could stop me. You shouldn't be a Limit Douluo, right? I'd like to see how strong you are."
"Besides, aren't you afraid of being hunted down by the Beast God Di Tian after the Auspicious Beast dies?"
Blazing golden flames burned from Yan Shaozhe's body, even though it was already night, this light was like the sun, illuminating everything around.
At the same time, nine soul rings rose, two yellow, two purple, and five black, a terrifying aura swept outwards.
The Auspicious Beast absolutely could not have an accident; Yan Shaozhe knew very well what the Auspicious Beast meant to the Star Dou Great Forest.
Even the Auspicious Beast benefits humans. After all, with the Auspicious Beast, many soul beasts can smoothly and quickly increase their cultivation, allowing humans to seize the opportunity to hunt them for soul rings.
Although it sounds a bit… odd, it's the truth.
Upon hearing Yan Shaozhe's words, the Red King's gaze immediately changed. He never imagined he would one day fight alongside humans.
Zhongli Wu's eyes flickered; he hadn't expected Shrek Academy's people, and a Super Douluo at that, to appear halfway.
But since they had already started, and Di Tian hadn't arrived yet, then…
"I'll deal with those two. The Auspicious Beast is yours," Zhongli Wu said, glancing disdainfully at Yan Shaozhe and the Red King. A dark blood-red light ignited behind him, and a faint, illusory human figure could be seen. Then, a scene that shocked Yan Shaozhe and the Red King unfolded.
Beneath Zhongli Wu, nine soul rings rose as well.
But compared to Yan Shaozhe's configuration, Zhongli Wu's soul rings began as ten-thousand-year rings from the very first.
Black, black, black, black, black, black, black, black, red.
He actually possessed a terrifying soul ring configuration of eight blacks and one red.
As the soul rings appeared, a pressure of extreme terror instantly swept outwards, as if everything around them had come to a standstill, and the various elements pulsating in the air solidified.
"Hmph." With a light snort, Zhongli Wu's imposing aura was like a heavy hammer, fiercely pressing towards Yan Shaozhe and the Red King.
"Whoosh."
Yan Shaozhe and the Red King's expressions changed drastically, but both were experienced veterans. They immediately activated their soul power and joined forces to resist, forcibly blocking the aura released by Zhongli Wu.
It was at this very moment that Zhongli Wu moved. A wisp of thick black qi permeated from his body, and a bizarrely shaped scepter fell into his hand. In the air, the lament of the dead souls resounded, causing physical discomfort.
The other black-robed figures suspended in mid-air also prepared to attack, their target being the Auspicious Beast, who was protected in the middle by Yan Shaozhe and the Red King.
"Fourth Soul Skill, Abyss of the Undead."
Zhongli Wu held the Blood Puppet Scepter and gently tapped the void. As his fourth soul ring lit up, a dark red magic array abruptly condensed, rising into the air and eventually transforming into a massive array with a diameter of a hundred meters.
The array itself was dark red, devoid of any runes. Its center was like a black hole.
"Go," Zhongli Wu commanded, his mind focused on the scepter.
In an instant, the array spun, and countless black mists erupted from the abyss-like black hole. When Yan Shaozhe looked closely, his expression shifted slightly. This wasn't just black mist; it was a multitude of souls. Some were human, some were soul beasts, but these weren't vengeful spirits that had been refined. Instead, they were constructed from soul power.
The souls flew out, hurtling towards them.
Each soul emitted a terrifying shriek, yet their faces were filled with a look of desire.
They craved the flesh and blood of Yan Shaozhe and the Red King, a great nourishment for these souls.
Zhongli Wu's early soul ring configuration isn't clear, so I'll set it as eight black and one red. Later, he evolved to six black and three red.
