Snake Woman Chao Tianxiang

"Could it be the Snake Woman of the Peerless Dragon Snake, Senior?" Zhao Wuji asked in a deep voice.

Chao Tianxiang said in surprise, "Oh? You know this old woman?"

"Of course. Senior's great reputation is well known."

Oscar looked at Liu Yi beside him. "Teacher Liu Yi, who is the Peerless Dragon Snake? Why is Teacher Zhao being so polite to her?"

Liu Yi smiled. "Dragon Lord Meng Shu and Snake Woman Chao Tianxiang are a famous couple in the soul master world. Rumor has it that the two are inseparable and share the same heart. Their Martial Soul Fusion Skill is immensely powerful, with strength no weaker than a Titled Douluo."

"What? They're that powerful?" Ma Hongjun exclaimed in shock.

"Then doesn't that mean Little Ao's soul ring is going to get away?"

Liu Yi snorted. "A mere Snake Woman is nothing to fear. I'm only worried that Dragon Lord is nearby. If I get the chance, I can kill this old hag instantly."

Zhao Wuji, standing nearby, also saw through Liu Yi's intentions. If they killed Snake Woman, then Dragon Lord would no longer be a threat.

"Liu Yi, do not make a move. If that old hag gets away and Dragon Lord comes after us, the little ones will lose their lives here."

After hearing Zhao Wuji's voice transmission, Liu Yi released his right hand and nodded at him.

"If we can't kill her, then what do we do? We can't let this old hag keep stalling for time," Liu Yi said coldly.

If they delayed any longer, Dragon Lord would arrive. At that point, he would not be a match for the two of them.

Zhao Wuji stepped forward. "I am Zhao Wuji."

"Oh, so you are Zhao Wuji, the Immovable Bright King renowned throughout the soul master world. No wonder. I was wondering how one could casually encounter such a young Soul Saint."

"You flatter me. It is only an ill reputation."

Chao Tianxiang snorted, clearly not taking Zhao Wuji seriously at all.

Liu Yi stepped forward. "Old hag, what exactly are you trying to do?"

"Stall for time?"

Chao Tianxiang fixed Liu Yi with a cold stare. "Who are you?"

"Liu Yi!"

"Hm? Liu Yi? I have never even heard of you. Even Zhao Wuji has to humble himself before me, yet a brat like you dares to be so rude!"

Chao Tianxiang shouted angrily, striking the ground with the Serpent Cane in her hand.

The Shrek Seven Devils behind them were immediately forced back several steps by that aura, while Liu Yi remained completely unmoved.

Chao Tianxiang's brows furrowed slightly. "Hm? You are not a student?"

"When did I ever say that I was?"

Zhao Wuji introduced him. "Senior Snake Woman, this is Liu Yi, the youngest teacher at our Shrek Academy."

Chao Tianxiang snorted. "Whether he is the youngest or not, today, we are determined to obtain this Phoenix-Tailed Crested Serpent."

"Hmph. Then let us see." Liu Yi took several steps forward, and the aura around him suddenly erupted.

An immense killing intent enveloped everything within a hundred meters.

Chao Tianxiang's pupils contracted. "A Soul Emperor! Such a young Soul Emperor!"

Though both were Soul Emperor-level experts, Chao Tianxiang could not sense even the slightest Soul Power Fluctuation from Liu Yi.

That was why she had initially mistaken him for a student.

"So, you do not intend to return this Phoenix-Tailed Crested Serpent to us?"

Zhao Wuji said coldly, "Senior must be joking. The soul beasts of the Star Dou Great Forest belong to no one. Your granddaughter needs it, but so does my student."

Chao Tianxiang frowned. "You mean those children have also reached level thirty?"

Liu Yi was growing impatient. "Old hag, can you stop talking nonsense? If you want to fight, then fight. Do you think I am afraid of you?"

He had always been impatient, and Chao Tianxiang's slow manner of speaking was more than he could bear.

Just as Liu Yi was about to summon the Seven Kill Sword, Chao Tianxiang clenched her fists. With Dragon Lord absent, she did not dare act rashly.

Across from her stood a Soul Saint and a Soul Emperor.

She could leave, but Meng Yiran would die here.

"Fine. I will not fight you for it. Let one of your disciples spar with my granddaughter. The loser will yield the soul ring."

"No!" Zhao Wuji roared.

Oscar was a Food System Soul Master. How could he possibly defeat a Control System Soul Master?

"Zhao Wuji, I have already yielded. What more do you want? Are you taking advantage of my old man's absence to bully me?"

"Of course not. My student is a Food System Soul Master. He is simply no match for your granddaughter."

Liu Yi waved a hand. "Tang San, leave it to you."

Tang San, standing behind them, nodded and stepped forward.

"I am level twenty-nine. Is that acceptable?"

Chao Tianxiang looked at Meng Yiran. After Meng Yiran nodded in agreement, she said nothing more.

"Alright."

Zhao Wuji and the others stepped aside, while Liu Yi sat on the ground and started drinking from a bottle of wine.

There was no popcorn here, so he could not snack while watching. He could only sip his wine and enjoy the match.

Gradually, their exchange of attacks turned into a contest of Soul Power. Everyone present clenched their fists in anxiety, afraid that Tang San would lose.

After an unknown amount of time, Chao Tianxiang looked at the exhausted Meng Yiran and shook her head helplessly.

"Fine, fine. We concede."

Liu Yi drained the last sip of wine in his hand and walked between the two of them. With a wave of his right hand, the Serpent Cane formed from Soul Power snapped in an instant.

Tang San and Meng Yiran were sent flying at that moment, but fortunately, Zhao Wuji caught them from behind.

"Since it is over, then... hehe, Oscar, hurry!"

Oscar hurriedly nodded and ran toward the Phoenix-Tailed Crested Serpent lying on the ground, ending its life with a single strike.

Chao Tianxiang snorted coldly. "Until we meet again, Immovable Bright King—and you too, Liu Yi!"

With that, the two figures vanished from sight.

After an unknown amount of time.

A violent aura suddenly erupted from the distance. Liu Yi, who had been sitting on the ground, rose to his feet at once, his expression changing slightly.

Although Tang San and the others had not noticed it, Liu Yi and Zhao Wuji felt it with absolute clarity.

Zhao Wuji abruptly pulled Tang San behind him and roared, "Everyone, get behind me now! If anything happens, leave the Star Dou Great Forest immediately! Hurry!"

By then, Oscar had finished absorbing the soul ring.

When he heard Zhao Wuji's roar, he was startled as well. Before he could react, Dai Mubai grabbed him and pulled him over.

Dai Mubai's expression was grim. Anything capable of making Teacher Zhao so fearful had to be something serious. Liu Yi also walked to Zhao Wuji's side, his cold gaze sweeping over their surroundings.

"Liu Yi, you felt it too?"

"Yes. This aura... is incredibly powerful."

In the direction Liu Yi was watching, two towering trees suddenly snapped without warning. A massive figure burst out from between them.

At the sight of the enormous creature, Liu Yi could not help drawing in a sharp breath, his body trembling faintly.

This soul beast stood more than twenty meters tall, its body as massive as a hill. A peerlessly terrifying aura faintly emanated from it.
