Chapter 431 Joint Hunt
"Squeak..." "Roar!"
Seeing two Soul Masters, only slightly weaker than themselves, attacking, the Bloodthirsty Bat and the Blood Lord's expressions changed instantly, and they let out their respective roars and howls.
Clearly, they intended to deter Flander and Zhao Wuji. After all, with their strength, if it weren't for the Scaled Dragon and Rainbow Dragon binding the Titan Giant Ape's hands and feet, they would likely have been killed long ago. If these two Soul Masters were to attack them now, they would have virtually no chance of leaving alive.
Flander and Zhao Wuji, however, were determined to make them their ninth Soul Rings, so they wouldn't let them go easily.
Just then, Zhao Wuji, transformed into the Mighty Vajra Bear, roared, "My ninth Soul Ring! I'm coming!"
When the Bloodthirsty Bat and the Blood Lord saw that they hadn't intimidated the two Soul Masters, their desire to retreat intensified. Upon hearing Zhao Wuji's words, they immediately set off.
However, they momentarily forgot that the Titan Giant Ape was still guarding them.
"Roar!"
Having been in custody of these two for a year, Erming had anticipated their intentions based on their current actions. Seeing that they were trying to escape, Erming was enraged.
Although he understood the humans' purpose and hadn't intended to fight them three-on-two because of their intervention, now… if they escaped this time, where would he, the King of the Forest, put his dignity in front of these humans and Sister Xiaowu?!
So, Erming roared. He stomped his feet, and a powerful yellow light spread out behind him, seemingly slowing down the area. The intense gravity even turned all the plants within the light to dust.
Erming's sudden action completely disrupted the escape plans and routes of the Bloodthirsty Bats and the Blood Lord.
"Squeak..." "Roar..."
Seeing their retreat blocked, the Bloodthirsty Bats and the Blood Lord decisively let out angry howls and roars, turning to fight Flander and the others.
This wasn't recklessness; they knew that the Titan Giant Ape, as the king of the forest, always maintained its pride. Therefore, it would never join forces with humans against them, even if they were evil soul beasts.
So, if they killed or defeated these two human soul masters, they might be able to escape again without resistance.
But clearly, neither of them expected...
Meanwhile, Xuanmo, watching Flander fighting the Bloodthirsty Bats in the sky and Zhao Wuji engaging in hand-to-hand combat with the Blood Lord, revealed a serious glint in his eyes.
Xuanmo knew that if it were just this, the Dean and Teacher Zhao wouldn't be able to defeat these two soul beasts, as there was still a gap in cultivation and strength between them.
Then, Xuan Mo roared, "Rongrong, buff the Dean and the others!"
Hearing Xuan Mo's words, Ning Rongrong immediately summoned the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda. Instantly, all six soul rings behind her flashed.
"The Nine Treasures are named the Six Apertures of Wish-Fulfilling Heart!"
As her voice fell, six streams of light circled around Ning Rongrong and then descended towards Flander and Zhao Wuji.
"Strength, Speed, Soul, Defense, Attack, Boost."
The moment they received Ning Rongrong's six buffs, Flander and Zhao Wuji received a 70% boost in all aspects. This instantly caused their auras to surge, and they even showed a tendency to overpower the Bloodthirsty Bat and the Blood Lord.
Sensing the changes in Flander and Zhao Wuji and the sense of crisis they brought, the two soul beasts were clearly anxious.
"Squeak..." "Roar..."
Under the threat of their lives, the Bloodthirsty Bat immediately shifted its target to Ning Rongrong, who was not far away. It could sense that the sudden increase in strength of the creature it was fighting was definitely related to the jewel-adorned female Soul Master.
So, with a screech, the Bloodthirsty Bat abandoned Flander, baring its menacing fangs and attacking Ning Rongrong.
Seeing this, Xuan Mo was about to act when someone beat him to it. "You beast, how dare you attack my student in front of me? Die!"
A fiery red figure swept past Xuan Mo, instantly transforming into a crimson dragon. Before anyone could react, its tail lashed out.
"Boom!" Although powerful, the 91,000-year-old Bloodthirsty Bat could easily dodge it.
However, this dodge allowed Flander, who reacted a beat too late, to intercept the Bloodthirsty Bat.
Then, Liu Erlong, who was also waiting for an opportunity, joined forces with Flander. Furthermore, having partnered for many years, the two were intimately familiar with each other's methods, resulting in seamless teamwork.
Therefore, the mutated bloodthirsty bat was quickly caught off guard by Flander's attack. Flander's cat-owl form easily left a wound on the bat's belly with its sharp claws. Instantly, a spray of blood erupted, cascading down from the sky in a spectacular display.
At the same moment, Liu Erlong unleashed a burst of dragon breath upon the bloodthirsty bat's wound, severely injuring it and putting it at a disadvantage against the two.
"That bloodthirsty bat's defeat is inevitable," Xuan Mo remarked, turning his attention to Zhao Wuji.
At this moment, several obvious claw marks appeared on the Blood Lord's body, and deep furrows crisscrossed the ground.
Seeing Zhao Wuji wielding his dark golden bear claws, it was clear he was using the soul bone technique of the Dark Golden Terror Claw Bear Soul Bone.
However, because the Blood Lord could burrow underground, it used the ground as its protective layer, lessening the sharpness of the Dark Gold Terror Claws. Otherwise, it would have been dead long ago.
"Since that's the case… Teacher Zhao, let me help you!"
Xuan Mo, having completed his Martial Soul Possession, immediately lit up his first and third Soul Rings, and with a pinch of his hands, a wave of earthy yellow and purplish-black ripples spread out.
The next second, before the Blood Lord could react, it was ambushed by Xuan Mo.
The surrounding ground surged. First, a gravitational force bound it, rendering it immobile, and then it was bound into a cocoon by the earth and rocks, only its head and tail protruding.
"Teacher Zhao, now's the time!"
