The face of Sword Douluo, who was fighting the Asura Rhinoceros Beetle, was heavy, and the worry in his heart had ultimately arrived. Although the Blood-Eyed Golden Lion King was not a top-level soul beast, it was still a mid-level one, and it was a hundred thousand years old. Even if he killed the Asura Rhinoceros Beetle, he couldn't possibly hunt the Blood-Eyed Golden Lion King.
"It seems I must finish this quickly, hopefully the Blood-Eyed Golden Lion King will fear Ye Yu's Power of Extreme Evil."
Sword Douluo prepared to use his Ninth Soul Skill, Divine Demon Slash. It was a single sword strike but could instantaneously kill a Titled Douluo of the same rank!
However, Sword Douluo feared time was not on his side; if the Blood-Eyed Golden Lion King wanted to kill Ye Yu, it would take just an instant. Even though Ye Yu's strength was terrifying, the Blood-Eyed Golden Lion King was equivalent to a ninety-five level Titled Douluo.
"Sect Leader Ning, you continue to support Elder Jian."
Ye Yu turned to face forward the moment he finished speaking, staring at the Blood-Eyed Golden Lion King.
Ye Yu immediately entered Complete Voidification, releasing his martial soul, with four soul rings all black, simultaneously enhancing the first three soul techniques. External Soul Bones emerged on his left and right arms, entering a darkening state, with his left arm swelling into a fist, surrounded by dense black aura.
"Hmm?" The Blood-Eyed Golden Lion King exclaimed in shock, greatly disturbed, "What is this aura? It makes me uneasy, even though it's just a Soul Sect."
The Blood-Eyed Golden Lion King's words made Ye Yu's heart sink; the Titan Giant Ape had retreated repeatedly not because it couldn't defeat him, but out of dread for the black aura, specifically recognizing it and knowing who associated with it. Yet now, the Blood-Eyed Golden Lion King seemed unaware.
"Even the Evil Qi from the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger didn't make me this uneasy. What's up with the Power of Extreme Evil on this kid?"
After the shock, the Blood-Eyed Golden Lion King no longer thought much of it, as it was merely a Soul Sect.
"Roar, roar, roar..."
As the Blood-Eyed Golden Lion King appeared, seven identical Blood-Eyed Golden Lions sprang forth around it, smaller in size than the Lion King and with less dazzling gold, and less blood-red eyes.
Clearly, they were of the Blood-Eyed Golden Lion lineage, and possessed a cultivation of fifty-six thousand years.
"This human kid is yours."
Seeing the Blood-Eyed Golden Lion King show no intention of making a move, Ye Yu breathed a sigh of relief, though his expression remained grim. A single fifty-six thousand year Blood-Eyed Golden Lion alone wasn't an opponent, as they were equivalent to a Soul Douluo powerhouse, not to mention seven of them.
Ye Yu directly released his Fourth Soul Skill – Poisonous Milk, then turned to flee at full speed.
As for Ning Fengzhi and Sword Douluo, Ye Yu believed they could retreat, but he would be a burden if he stayed.
Ye Yu thought the Blood-Eyed Golden Lion King would not attack Sword Douluo directly but wait for Sword Douluo to kill the Asura Rhinoceros Beetle first, so that Sword Douluo would be exhausted, and Ning Fengzhi would have no soul power left to support him. This way, its odds of defeating Sword Douluo would be greater.
"Awoo!"
A mournful cry sounded as the body of the Asura Rhinoceros Beetle was directly split in two and separated. Clearly, it had been slain by Sword Douluo's Ninth Soul Skill, Divine Demon Slash.
At the same time, Ning Fengzhi's soul power was nearly depleted, as he had been supporting a level ninety-five Sword Douluo with all his might. Despite having the Seven Treasures True Body, his soul power consumption had significantly slowed.
"Fengzhi, leave now, catch up with Ye Yu and support him. I can handle the Blood-Eyed Golden Lion King." Sword Douluo said solemnly.
Ning Fengzhi knew Ye Yu was terrifying, but facing seven fifty-six thousand year Blood-Eyed Golden Lions was certain death. However, if Ning Fengzhi could support Ye Yu, perhaps there was a slim chance of survival, even a one percent remote chance was better than zero.
"Then take care."
Ning Fengzhi enhanced his speed and quickly chased after, feeling his remaining soul power would be enough to support Ye Yu.
Sword Douluo had killed the Asura Rhinoceros Beetle, though he had expended considerable soul power and sustained injuries, yet he was no ordinary Titled Douluo and not far inferior to someone like Tang Hao.
Thus, even after battling a hundred thousand year soul beast like the Asura Rhinoceros Beetle, he still had enough strength to fight the Blood-Eyed Golden Lion King. Though not enough to kill it, he was confident in his ability to protect himself and escape.
At this time, Ye Yu carried no weight, and though he lacked speed-type support skills, he was still extremely fast, causing the fifty-six thousand year Blood-Eyed Golden Lions unable to catch up for a short while.
But, due to the vast difference in power, the gap was quickly closing, and Ye Yu's brows furrowed as he realized he'd be caught in less than a minute.
"Hmm?" At this point, Ye Yu sensed Ning Fengzhi's aura drawing near, knowing that Sword Douluo was delaying the Blood-Eyed Golden Lion King.
As the six-thousand-year Gold Lion of the highest cultivation among the seven Blood-Eyed Golden Lions closed in within a meter, its claw tore through the air toward Ye Yu's back. Ye Yu abruptly kicked to the side at the critical moment and dodged, then veered toward the direction of Ning Fengzhi at full speed.
For anyone else, even a Soul Saint wouldn't have been able to dodge, but Ye Yu's reflexes and senses were exceedingly keen, allowing him to narrowly avoid the attack.
Even though he dodged, the fierce wind from the claw had impacted him, ripping his clothes behind, and though his body was strong, it wasn't invincible, equivalent to level seventy-nine Soul Saint.
To absorb a Ten Thousand-Year Soul Ring that only Soul Douluo levels could absorb wasn't because Ye Yu's constitution was powerful enough to rival a Soul Douluo in full strength, but because Ye Yu's absorption had no grievances, making it half as difficult.
Other soul masters not only endured powerful impacts but also grievances, which made the impact even more terrifying.
But Ye Yu possessed a formidable constitution of a seventy-nine level Soul Saint at fifty levels as a Support-type Soul Sect, already horrifying. He believed obtaining the Fifth Soul Ring would yield a constitution equivalent to that of an eighty-plus level Soul Douluo.
Although his back had no blood, there were five red claw marks, causing a stinging pain.
The Blood-Eyed Golden Lion King quickly halted its forward rush, skidding ten meters due to inertia, turning around with some anger, having spent so long to handle a mere fifty level Soul Sect.
The Blood-Eyed Golden Lions were furious, becoming more violent, chasing with increasing speed.
The Blood-Eyed Golden Lions were incensed, with their pride on the line; failing to resolve a fifty level Soul Sect in one minute was utterly humiliating for them.
Ye Yu erupted in full speed; since he arrived in this world, this was the greatest crisis he'd faced.
Though he'd encountered the more terrifying Titan Giant Ape, it bore no killing intent towards him.
"Roar!"
Hearing the lion's roar, Ye Yu knew the six-thousand-year Blood-Eyed Golden Lions were close, mere inches away.
At this crucial moment, Ye Yu saw Ning Fengzhi speedily rushing in.
Seeing the Blood-Eyed Golden Lion's proximity, less than a foot away from Ye Yu, Ning Fengzhi instantly applied his soul techniques to enhance Ye Yu.
"Seven Treasures say the first is 'Strength'!"
"Seven Treasures say the second is 'Speed'!"
...
"Seven Treasures say the sixth is 'Enhance'!"
As Ning Fengzhi empowered Ye Yu, Ye Yu instantly turned around, his left arm shrouded in Extreme Evil black aura launching a full-force punch, clashing instantly with the lion's paw; the timing was perfectly calculated.
Boom!!
Upon impact, a terrifying shockwave surged forth, sweeping trees and rocks within a five-hundred-meter radius, creating an expansive clearing.
Ning Fengzhi was also thrust twenty meters away, his body aching, blood surging in his chest, a trace of blood seeping from the corner of his mouth.
Ning Fengzhi looked over worriedly; despite his enhancements and knowing Ye Yu was a demon in his own right, they were confronting a medium-level six-thousand-year soul beast.
