One Strike

Zhu Zhuqing looked at Dan Heng. His eyes seemed to faintly emit a pale azure glow.

Although Dan Heng was not giving off any particularly powerful aura right now, Zhu Zhuqing could not even comprehend his strength.

Yet, in Zhu Zhuqing's eyes, Dan Heng's image suddenly became imposing and towering.

"Teacher, are you finally going to make a move?"

Zhu Zhuqing did not blink.

Afraid of missing even a single moment.

She eagerly anticipated Dan Heng showing what he could do. It was a desire ingrained in the bloodline of the Zhu Family women!

Dan Heng frowned slightly. His gaze passed through the city walls, across the plains, and through the forest. While searching, he had yet to spot Gu Yuena, but he discovered the Titan Giant Ape first!

The mountain-sized Titan Giant Ape was the ruler of the Star Dou Great Forest, a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast that should have remained in the core region.

Yet it was now suddenly charging madly in a certain direction.

The trees in its path were knocked crooked and torn out by the roots.

Following the direction in which the Titan Giant Ape was running, Dan Heng quickly saw Gu Yuena.

"!!!"

At that moment, Dan Heng could not help but wonder whether Gu Yuena had deliberately caused trouble for him.

How long had she been in the Star Dou Great Forest? And she had already drawn out the forest's ruler?

The odds were probably about the same as getting struck by lightning while walking down the road, weren't they?

But since he had seen it, he could not simply stand by.

After all, a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast could still pose a threat to his nominal wife.

With a sigh, Dan Heng slowly raised his right hand, dazzling golden light emanating from his palm.

At the same time, several streams of water suddenly condensed in the air, circling around Dan Heng before winding around his raised arm.

As the water appeared, Dan Heng's bearing changed. Although he had not used Dragon Sovereign Form, this power was still beyond the limits of the current Douluo Continent!

Dan Heng stood proudly. Behind his tall, straight figure, a faint phantom seemed to appear.

At some unknown point, the clouds overhead seemed to have been pierced through, revealing the sky beyond them.

The water streams around him released countless tiny droplets. The dense moisture dampened Zhu Zhuqing's hair, causing it to cling to her cheeks.

Zhu Zhuqing swallowed and stared blankly at Dan Heng.

At that moment, she seemed to see a pair of dragon horns above Dan Heng's head.

Even though she could not sense Dan Heng's power, her heart still began pounding uncontrollably, as if a World Destroying beast stood beside her and was doing something to heaven and earth.

But.

Zhu Zhuqing felt not the slightest fear. Her gaze toward Dan Heng held only fervor!

This was the strength she sought!

"Go." Dan Heng parted his thin lips slightly.

The streams of water around him all gathered together, transforming into an Azure Dragon over three meters long that shot forward explosively.

"Boom...!!!"

A sonic boom rang out like thunder.

After flying more than ten meters, the Water Azure Dragon vanished from Zhu Zhuqing's sight.

"Rumble...!"

The departure of the Water Azure Dragon seemed to be an omen as lightning flashed and thunder rumbled overhead.

The next second, "Crash...!!!"

Torrential rain suddenly poured down from the sky. Everything happened so abruptly that the rain struck the ground at once.

Zhu Zhuqing did not dodge. She blankly stared in the direction the Water Azure Dragon had gone.

Though she did not know where the Water Azure Dragon was headed or what power it could unleash.

Zhu Zhuqing firmly believed that this World Destroying strike would surely terrify whatever enemy faced it and leave an indelible mark upon that stretch of space!

Star Dou Great Forest.

After the Shrek group finished hunting a soul ring for Oscar, a minor conflict arose.

Over the ownership of a soul beast, they had frightened off Snake Woman Chao Tianxiang and her granddaughter.

They should have returned, but Tang San unexpectedly broke through to rank thirty at the last moment, so they still had to acquire a soul ring for Tang San.

Gu Yuena and Zi Ji followed behind them. Zhao Wuji wore a flattering smile as he stepped forward and bowed, asking, "Madam, should we stop and rest for a while?"

Zhao Wuji rubbed his hands together. His face was clearly covered in flesh, yet it now looked incomparably obsequious.

Seeing this, the Shrek group each had their own guesses.

Most of them believed Gu Yuena had a powerful background and was likely backed by a formidable soul master.

Otherwise, Zhao Wuji, that brute, would not give anyone special treatment just for their beauty.

"Look at Teacher Zhao. Could it be that Elder Sister Na's family has a Titled Douluo?" Ning Rongrong curled her lips and whispered to those beside her.

Dai Mubai's eyes lit up. If she really had such a background, and things worked out between him and Zi Ji...

Then, with a Titled Douluo's influence, would he not be able to escape his fate of being crippled?

Oscar chuckled. "I think that's probably it too. Teacher Zhao never indulges nobles; he only respects the strong! It's very possible that there's a Titled Douluo!"

Xiao Wu remained silent, but sneered inwardly. The Lord needs no background. She herself is the greatest background!

Just then, Gu Yuena ignored Zhao Wuji and suddenly said, "It's here."

"What's here?" Zhao Wuji froze.

He followed Gu Yuena's gaze and looked toward the inner region of the Star Dou Great Forest.

Two towering trees slowly parted to either side, and an enormous figure silently emerged from between them.

At the sight of this giant, everyone seemed to stop breathing.

It was a creature like a mountain. Its entire body was covered in jet-black fur that shimmered faintly beneath the dim starlight and moonlight.

Though it moved on all fours, its shoulders stood well over seven meters high.

If it stood upright, it would likely exceed fifteen meters in height.

Its lantern-sized eyes glowed with a golden radiance as they stared at the people below.

The appearance of such a colossal monster before them brought an unparalleled pressure upon everyone.

"It's actually the King of the Forest, the Titan Giant Ape!" Tang San's voice turned somewhat hoarse.

Everyone hurriedly gathered around Zhao Wuji. Xiao Wu lagged slightly behind, her reaction a beat too slow.

Zhao Wuji's face turned pale, but the next second, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Gu Yuena.

Good thing this great lady had come with him. Otherwise, they would all have died here.

Gu Yuena raised an eyebrow slightly and gave Xiao Wu a thoughtful look.

She was clearly a Soft Bone Rabbit, yet she shared such a deep friendship with the Titan Giant Ape?

Zi Ji sent her a voice transmission. "My Lord, shall I teach this little fellow a lesson?"

To Zi Ji, the Titan Giant Ape truly deserved only that form of address.

She could not help but think: If the Titan Giant Ape went to that Small Town and frightened that Old Pervert Dan Heng, perhaps they could probe his true condition. Maybe he did not have much strength left after all?

"You..." Zhao Wuji looked at Gu Yuena expectantly, thinking, Please make a move already!

Or reveal the strength of a Titled Douluo and make this forest ruler retreat in the face of difficulty!

Gu Yuena narrowed her eyes slightly, just about to part her red lips.

Suddenly, her lovely face changed sharply, and she turned to look in the direction of Small Town.
