Chapter 48 The Wrathful Crimson King.
The dizziness dissipated, and Zhang Lexuan's first, second, third, and fourth soul rings lit up simultaneously.
In mid-air, the full moon shone brightly, and a beam of moonlight as thick as a bucket shot out, crashing into the massive pillar of fire spewed from the three-headed Crimson Demon Hound, scattering a shower of fire.
"Let me show you the power of my Golden Crow True Fire!" A clear cry suddenly rang out, and Wu Ming's golden-red flame wings unfurled behind her.
"Second Soul Skill, Golden Crow True Fire Ignites!"
Wu Ming raised her right hand, and her second soul ring immediately shone. A cluster of golden-red flames danced in her palm, and in the next instant, intense golden-red firelight blazed around her body.
"Second Soul Skill, Gentle Breeze!"
Wu Xuan stood still, raising one hand high, his purple soul rings shimmering, as if a gentle breeze were swaying around him. Immediately following, Wu Ming, charging towards the three-headed Crimson Demon Hound, also had her third purple soul ring shimmering. The intensely burning Golden Crow True Fire illuminated the surrounding space in a golden-red hue.
"Third Soul Skill, Golden Crow True Fire Explosion!"
With a gentle breeze accompanying him, Wu Ming's speed suddenly increased, propelling him forward like an arrow, arriving beside the three-headed Crimson Demon Mastiff in the blink of an eye.
The three-headed Crimson Demon Mastiff, restrained by Zhang Lexuan's moonlight, was completely oblivious to the others.
Flames exploded, the blazing Golden Crow True Fire tightly coiling around the three-headed Crimson Demon Mastiff's body. These flames seemed to possess a life of their own, leaping across the three-headed Crimson Demon Mastiff's thick, fire-resistant fur.
Chu Qingtian, his body crackling with electricity, appeared silently beside the three-headed Crimson Demon Mastiff as he looked at it. Suddenly, he abruptly raised his head, a glint of light flashing in his eyes.
"Sixth Soul Skill, Lightning Claw!"
Chu Qingtian roared, his lightning claws, the size of a fan, lashing forward with a deafening sonic boom that seemed to tear through the air, ripping open the thick fur of the three Crimson Demon Hounds. Large amounts of blood gushed out like a fountain.
The three Crimson Demon Hounds howled in agony, their bodies suddenly shuddering, unleashing a powerful aura. A torrent of dark red magma flames rose, raining down like a meteor shower, hurtling towards the two.
The magma's extreme temperature and corrosiveness forced Wu Ming and Chu Qingtian to retreat. Clearly, the three Crimson Demon Hounds were fighting desperately.
"Fourth Soul Skill, Soul-Scattered Wind!"
Wu Xuan's fourth black soul ring suddenly lit up, a jet-black hurricane erupting from his palm, the black wind gathering with a faint, sharp whistling sound, creating an eerie atmosphere.
As Wu Xuan suddenly unleashed his attack, the black wind vanished like a ray of light into the three-headed Crimson Demon Hound's body.
The meteor shower dissipated abruptly, and the three-headed Crimson Demon Hound jumped up in terror, its heart filled with dread. It felt its soul power had instantly run out, and the remaining soul power was disappearing at an extremely rapid pace.
The three-headed Crimson Demon Hound's terrified roar echoed through the sky, for this bizarre attack was completely beyond its comprehension.
On the other side, Zhang Lexuan, who had seized this opportunity, naturally wouldn't miss it.
Her sixth soul ring suddenly lit up, and the black soul ring instantly rose into the air, merging into the full moon.
"Sixth Soul Skill, Undying Moonlight!"
The full moon changed; the originally silvery-white round moon suddenly dimmed, then turned completely black, with only a silver halo remaining on the outermost layer.
Immediately, a silver halo descended from the sky. A flash of black light, and it landed on the broad back of the three-headed Crimson Demon Hound.
The next moment, a terrifying explosion ripped through the air, and the three-headed Crimson Demon Mastiff was blasted away, its massive body flying through the air, its aura greatly weakened, revealing large patches of charred fur. A 50,000-year-old three-headed Crimson Demon Mastiff, its strength was absolutely comparable to a peak Soul Douluo level, but in the hands of Zhang Lexuan and the others, it still appeared so fragile.
Strike while the iron was hot; Wu Xuan and the others wouldn't give the three-headed Crimson Demon Mastiff any chance to recover.
"..."
On the other side! A crimson figure was leisurely watching the golden figure chasing the Radiant Unicorn in the distance.
The two were none other than the Crimson King, one of the Ten Great Ferocious Beasts, and the auspicious Three-Eyed Golden Lion.
"Roar~~!" A familiar, mournful roar startled the Crimson King.
"Who among my clan's descendants dares to attack my Crimson Demon Hound clan in the core area? This is utterly audacious! They deserve to die!" The Crimson King's eyes widened in fury, his body surging with fire. He charged straight towards the source of the screams.
The auspicious beast on the ground, seeing this, was filled with confusion. After a moment of stunned silence, the Radiant Unicorn, which had been about to be captured, fled in a flash. The Three-Eyed Golden Lion roared furiously, scratching the ground with its claws. Seeing that the Crimson King ignored it, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion angrily gave chase.
The three-headed Crimson Demon Hound, besieged by the crowd, had dull, lifeless eyes, and large gushes of blood gushed out like a fountain. It was clearly nearing its end.
"Ming'er," Zhang Lexuan called out.
Wu Ming, understanding instantly, flapped her golden-red fiery wings and swooped down. Her first spirit ring shone brightly, and a golden-red pillar of fire erupted from her palm, striking the swaying three-headed Crimson Demon Hound and extinguishing its life force.
Points of black light condensed above the corpse of the three-headed Crimson Demon Hound, finally forming a deep black spirit ring.
An oppressive surge of spirit power emanated from it, bringing waves of ferocious power.
This three-headed Crimson Demon Hound, with a cultivation of fifty thousand years, had perished.
"There's no time to lose, Ming'er. You should absorb the spirit ring now. We'll protect you," Zhang Lexuan said, stepping forward.
"Thank you, Senior Sister!" Wu Ming thanked her and then excitedly began fusing her seventh spirit ring.
Acquiring a Soul Ring and advancing to the next title is a cause for celebration for any Soul Master.
Despite Elder Xuan's secret presence, Zhang Lexuan dared not relax for a moment in the core area of the Star Dou Great Forest.
"A Soul Beast is coming! This one has a very strong aura! No! This aura is terrifyingly strong." Wu Xuan suddenly stood up, looking at the distant horizon.
"Elder Xuan! Come out quickly, stop drinking! This Soul Beast is at least 100,000 years old. If it attacks us, we're doomed." Wu Xuan shouted loudly behind him.
Seeing Wu Xuan's solemn expression, Zhang Lexuan and Chu Qingtian quickly stood up and protected Wu Ming. At this time, Wu Ming had just entered the Soul Ring Absorption stage, and there was still a long time before he could fully absorb it.
"Damn humans, how dare you break into the core area and kill my clan's juniors! Die!" Crimson King looked at the corpses of his juniors below, and a deep roar came from all three of his heads, while intense dark red light erupted from his body.
Its three massive heads seemed to have swelled to an even larger size, exuding an aura of carnage as it charged towards the four.
"Red King! I think you old dog have a death wish, daring to attack my Shrek Academy students!" Reminded by Wu Xuan, Elder Xuan soared into the sky, roaring and revealing his true form as the Gluttonous Divine Bull. The two powerful figures clashed fiercely.
The result was unsurprising: faced with Elder Xuan's overwhelming strength, even as a ferocious beast, the Red King could only barely defend itself, retreating steadily in its defense.
However, aside from Elder Xuan's all-out attack in his rage, both he and the Red King held back. With their combined strength, a full-scale battle would be a disaster for the Star Dou Great Forest. And this was something no one wanted to see, including Elder Xuan.
Kill the Red King's clan, lure out the Red King, then lure out the Three-Eyed Golden Lion—hmm, very reasonable!!
