Chapter 139 Fearful Demon Dragon.
The Flame Lion King froze for a full two and a half seconds, then roared to the sky. The flames rising from its body suddenly condensed, transforming into a beam of fire identical to its own, which lunged at Wu Xuan and the others.
This was the Flame Lion King's innate skill, Flame Clone Strike.
"Brainless beast, I don't think you want to live anymore." Wu Xuan slightly raised one hand, and the fifth ring around his body shone brightly.
"Fifth Soul Skill, Sky-Splitting Wind!"
A hurricane vortex instantly condensed and expanded. With a light wave of Wu Xuan's hand, the vortex, like a ferocious beast opening its blood-red maw, completely swallowed the Flame Lion King and its flame clone.
After a soul beast cultivates to the ten-thousand-year level, it possesses considerable intelligence. The Flame Lion King panicked and scattered, trying to find an opening to escape.
But there was no time for that; the thirty-thousand-year-old Flame Lion King met its tragic end in the next moment. Under the raging hurricane, the fiery clone disintegrated instantly. The main body of the Flame Lion King was like fragile paper, instantly torn apart by the hurricane, its body covered in blood, bones broken, and tendons snapped. In the blink of an eye, it was easily ripped into countless fragments, dissipating into the void.
The hurricane vortex did not stop there; it continued to ravage its surroundings with overwhelming force, mercilessly destroying everything in its path. Bushes and rocks alike were reduced to fragments under the hurricane's onslaught. When the hurricane vortex dissipated, it left behind a barren, lifeless ground. Huo Yuhao and the other two were so shocked that their jaws nearly dropped to the ground.
"What about the Flame Lion King?!" Huo Yuhao asked, his voice trembling.
"It should have been shredded into a bloody mist, annihilated into nothingness!" Wu Xuan said indifferently.
"Damn! It kills without leaving a trace!" Wang Dong exclaimed.
"Good to know. If you dare to question or provoke me again, be careful, I might give you a taste of my own medicine." Wu Xuan smiled maliciously.
"You dare! If you bully me, I'll call my uncles to deal with you!" Wang Dong said angrily.
"Hehe! Wang Dong, are you crying and calling your parents?" Xiao Xiao laughed as she looked at Wang Dong.
"You're the one crying! I'm just confused by Wu Xuan." Wang Dong retorted.
While they were talking, Huo Yuhao quietly slipped over and picked up the soul tool that the Soul King had dropped earlier.
Although Wu Xuan saw Huo Yuhao's actions, he was too lazy to say anything. It was just a Soul King's storage soul tool, not of much value.
"Alright, now it's just Yuhao's soul ring left. We'll rest for a while and then hurry up." Wu Xuan gave the order with a serious expression.
The three nodded in unison. This time, the rest time was exceptionally long, a full hour. After everyone was in peak condition, they set off again.
"Why is Wu Xuan so irritable since entering the Star Dou Great Forest?" Watching the four set off again, Elder Xuan silently put down his wine jug. "Sigh! The first thing a strong person must learn is to maintain rationality and control themselves!"
A person who is swayed by emotions can never become a true strong person.
Continuing their exploration, this time in less than two hours, a strange soul beast covered in gray-silver scales came into view.
"This...this is a Fear Demon Dragon that's nearly three thousand years old, a spirit-attribute soul beast!" Xiao Xiao exclaimed.
"Fear Dragon?" Upon hearing this name, detailed information about this soul beast flashed through Wu Xuan's mind.
The Fear Dragon was a sub-dragon of the Earth Dragon type. Its physical combat strength was not strong, but it was an extremely rare mental attribute dragon. It possessed a powerful innate soul skill—Fear—which could cause opponents to become mentally disoriented, thus losing their fighting ability.
"Yuhao! A sub-dragon type mental attribute soul beast, it's perfect for you!" Wang Dong said with delight.
"Brother Wu Xuan! I choose it." Huo Yuhao said excitedly.
"Alright! I'll capture it for you right away." Wu Xuan patted Huo Yuhao's shoulder.
The group's discussion naturally alerted the dozing Fear Dragon in the distance.
The Fear Dragon sprang to its feet and turned to run away.
"Where do you think you're going? Stay here." Wu Xuan sneered, and a short, emerald-green spear flew out of his hand.
"Awooo~!" A shrill scream rang out. When Huo Yuhao and the others looked at the Fear Dragon's figure, its body had already been accurately pierced by a short spear and pinned to the ground.
Huo Yuhao rushed forward to examine it. Compared to the other soul beasts they had encountered along the way, this Fear Dragon was quite small, less than 1.5 meters long. However, its head was unusually large, almost a third of its entire body.
The head was triangular, with exceptionally large eyes and sharp bones below. Its pair of yellow vertical pupils seemed to burn with flames.
However, its aura was extremely weak, and even the light in its vertical pupils had dimmed.
At such a distance, with such a small target, Wu Xuan had still managed to hit it with a spear and pin it to the ground, demonstrating the power of a Soul King.
Unconsciously, he had become nearly twenty levels above Wu Xuan.
"Yuhao, hurry! This Fear Dragon is almost dead!" Wang Dong hurriedly shouted.
Huo Yuhao nodded quickly, stepped forward, and killed the three-thousand-year-old Fear Dragon with a single strike. He began absorbing the third soul ring from its spirit eye.
The process went very smoothly, and by the time Huo Yuhao finished absorbing the soul ring, it was already late at night.
As expected, the third soul skill was none other than the Fear Demon Dragon's innate soul skill, Fear.
After some conversation, the group, no longer sleepy, unanimously decided to have Elder Xuan lead them away from the mixed zone.
After all, the mixed zone of the Star Dou Great Forest was no place for humans; having completed this soul hunt, the sooner they left, the better.
