God Slaying Spear, Against Bibi Dong!

The masked man in black was Chu Fan after using Myriad Transformations. His body and appearance were completely different from before, and with the mask he wore now, no one could recognize him.

"For Xiao Wu's sake, don't self-destruct," Chu Fan whispered to Dancing Ji.

Hearing Xiao Wu's name, Dancing Ji froze. She did not know who the black-clad man before her was, nor why he knew Xiao Wu. The only thing she could be certain of was that he was not with Bibi Dong.

That was close, too close. I nearly didn't make it in time. If you'd been killed, I'd have suffered a huge loss. Chu Fan secretly breathed a sigh of relief. The moment he appeared, he saw Dancing Ji preparing to self-destruct. Had he arrived a few seconds later, it truly would have been too late.

But now that I'm here, you're safe.

At once, a voice sounded in Dancing Ji's heart.

"Safe? Why can I hear him speaking inside my heart?"

"Could he be the person who warned me that Bibi Dong was coming to hunt me?"

"Could he have been sent by the heavens to save me?" Dancing Ji stared at Chu Fan in shock, then quickly became worried again.

"But with so many powerful enemies here, can he really defeat them?"

As Dancing Ji hesitated, Chu Fan looked at Bibi Dong and the others beside him and shouted, "So many of you bullying one person? That's truly disgraceful."

"Kid, go back wherever you came from!" A Soul Douluo in the crowd cursed. As he spoke, he stepped forward, unleashed his martial soul, and charged at Chu Fan. The Soul Douluo was delighted. This kid did not look particularly powerful. This was the perfect chance to make a name for himself and show Bibi Dong what he could do. A smile appeared on his lips as he secretly reveled in his cleverness.

"Get lost!" Chu Fan gripped the God Slaying Spear and thrust it at the approaching Soul Douluo.

A terrifying blast of air surged forth with the spear. A low dragon's roar echoed from within it, while faint azure light glimmered along its shaft.

Before the Soul Douluo could react, the God Slaying Spear pierced straight through his body. The smile on his face instantly froze. He stood there blankly, completely motionless.

"Break!" Chu Fan shouted, and the Soul Douluo collapsed in response.

Everyone was instantly horrified. They had no idea what had happened.

"What a fast spear strike!" everyone exclaimed in shock.

Even Bibi Dong stared fixedly at Chu Fan, thinking to herself, This man in black must be the powerful expert I sensed in the forest.

"This God Slaying Spear truly is extraordinary." Even Chu Fan could not help clicking his tongue as he watched his single strike kill the enemy. This was his first time using the God Slaying Spear, and he had not expected one thrust to leave so many powerful experts stunned.

For a moment, the entire battlefield fell silent.

Bibi Dong looked at Dancing Ji. She would not allow prey that had already reached her mouth to fly away again. With a command, she said, "Follow me!"

At once, all the soul masters in the area surrounded Chu Fan and Dancing Ji.

Bibi Dong sensed a terrifyingly powerful aura from Chu Fan, the man in black. If she could recruit him as her subordinate, her authority within Spirit Hall would become even greater. She then said,

"I must have this rabbit today. If you want a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, join Spirit Hall, and Spirit Hall can promise to hunt another one for you. Otherwise—"

"Otherwise what? You want to kill me too?"

"I have no objection to you hunting other soul beasts, but I want this rabbit." Chu Fan's response was firm and forceful.

"You're courting death!"

At once, all the soul masters rushed forward.

Chu Fan snorted coldly. "Then I'll start with you."

Chu Fan released his soul ring, and a dazzling crimson soul ring appeared around him.

"First Soul Skill, God Slaying Spear." Chu Fan wielded the divine spear, becoming one with it as he charged toward the Titled Douluo. He moved as fast as a shooting star and thrust his spear forward.

The Titled Douluo sensed danger and instinctively activated his defenses. Yet Chu Fan's strike actually shattered them. The Titled Douluo staggered back dozens of steps before dispersing the remaining force and barely managing to steady himself. His internal organs were jolted with pain, and he spat out a mouthful of blood.

The Soul Douluo attempting to sneak attack from behind was also instantly pierced through half his body by Chu Fan's backhand thrust. Blood sprayed wildly as he collapsed to the ground. Another Soul Douluo had died beneath the spear.

Bibi Dong and the others were instantly stunned, unable to believe what they were seeing: the Titled Douluo had been driven back, while Chu Fan stood suspended in the air.

Dancing Ji was also utterly shocked, completely forgetting the pain of her injuries. "This power... it is as though a heavenly god has descended. A god is protecting me."

Chu Fan returned to Dancing Ji's side and bent down to lift her. One hand supported her legs, while the other wrapped around her waist. Carrying her in a princess hold, he flew with Dancing Ji toward the core region.

Bibi Dong's eyes were filled with unwillingness. Watching Chu Fan's departing back, she thought to herself, One day, I will have you. Not only you—I will make the entire world submit beneath my feet.

Dancing Ji guided Chu Fan to the place where she lived, at the center of the forest.

Chu Fan saw a pure and beautiful lake beside him. Its surface seemed veiled by a thin layer of gauze, filled with mystery and tranquility. Several lotus flowers bloomed along its shore.

"Thank you. I don't know how much longer I can hold on, but thank you for bringing me back. Even if I die now, I will have no regrets."

At that moment, Xiao Wu came running from afar and rushed to Dancing Ji's side. Seeing her mother lying there so weakly, tears instantly welled up in her big eyes as she cried out.

"Mom, don't you want Xiao Wu anymore?"

"Mom, don't leave Xiao Wu behind. I'll be good."

"Big Brother, please save Mom, okay?"

Dancing Ji weakly raised a trembling hand and stroked Xiao Wu's cheek, wiping away the tears on her face. "Be good, Xiao Wu. Mom will always stay with you."

Chu Fan smiled faintly at Xiao Wu. "Don't worry. With me here, everything will be fine."

Chu Fan's first soul skill was healing. Any injury could be healed as long as the person was not dead.

Hearing Chu Fan's words, the dead ashes in Dancing Ji's heart instantly reignited. She said excitedly, "Really? That's wonderful."

Xiao Wu rubbed her eyes, wiped away her tears, and stared at Chu Fan with wide eyes. "Big Brother, really? That's wonderful!"

Chu Fan smiled. "Big Brother never lies. Stop crying now. Stand to the side and watch. I'm going to treat your mother."

Xiao Wu had been an obedient child since she was young. She walked behind Chu Fan and quietly watched from the side.

Ever since his martial soul evolved, Chu Fan had possessed a divine healing skill, but its treatment method left him feeling awkward.

For healing, the Azure Lotus served as the vessel. The Source of Life flowed from the Azure Lotus into the wounded person's body, achieving a restorative effect. Simply put, Chu Fan needed to insert the Chaos Green Lotus martial soul into Dancing Ji's body and infuse her with the Source of Life to produce the miraculous healing effect.

Looking at the treatment method, Chu Fan gritted his teeth and thought helplessly,

I suspect this soul skill was made specifically to mess with me.

She's a soul beast. She probably doesn't know, right?

Chu Fan said to Dancing Ji, "I need to send my martial soul deep into your body and infuse you with the Source of Life. Don't panic."

"Mm, go ahead," Dancing Ji said.

Chu Fan released his martial soul. An Azure Lotus floated in the air, ancient and azure, filled with mystery.

"First Soul Skill, Healing!"

At once, an azure beam extended from the Azure Lotus and pierced into Dancing Ji's body.
