Desperate Situation

"Not good!"

Duke Nether never expected that Xuan Zi's final cry of pain would cause such a powerful force. He had hidden it so well, yet he was still forced to reveal it.

He only wanted to hunt for his Ninth Soul Ring in the Star Dou Great Forest.

He had already made plans for his Ninth Soul Ring. Since he wasn't planning to hunt any overly powerful Soul Beast, one person was enough.

But what he didn't expect was that he would see Shrek's Xuan Zi devouring Mu En on the way.

Seeing this scene nearly scared him out of his wits; his first reaction was to run away.

But then he realized that this was the key to attacking Shrek.

The Vice Head of Sea God Pavilion actually devoured the Sea God Pavilion Master using the methods of Evil Soul Master.

This is a huge blow to both Shrek and the Sea God Pavilion.

So he forcibly suppressed the urge to escape and instead quietly hid in the darkness, recording everything that happened.

Unexpectedly, at the last step, Xuan Zi actually used Soul Power shockwave to shake him out!

At that moment, Duke Nether knew he was doomed.

However, he did not choose to give up the fight. Instead, he quickly landed while Xuan Zi was stunned, pressed his palm on the soft grass, and his figure quickly transformed into a Black Light and rushed towards the Star Luo Empire.

Since the Hell Spirit Cat gave up the Dark Soul Ring, it has almost exclusively chosen Soul Ring that focus on speed.

Therefore, although he was only at the level of a pseudo -Titled Douluo, the speed that Duke Nether unleashed was still not to be underestimated.

But that depends on who you're comparing yourself to!

If he were merely a level 92 or 93 Titled Douluo, he might have been able to escape, but Xuan Zi, at Level 99, had already undergone a qualitative transformation.

In just a few breaths, Xuan Zi caught up with Duke Nether and stopped him.

What did you see?

Xuan Zi stared fiercely at Duke Nether with his dark eyes, his voice hoarse like that of a demon from hell.

"I saw nothing, I saw nothing. Your Majesty is overthinking it."

You Ming quickly lowered his head and said warily.

At the same time, his body trembled uncontrollably. Seeing this, he knew he had no chance of survival, but...

"Hehehe, people from the Star Luo Empire, Xu Jiawei sent them to spy on us, right?"

Xuan Zi could not hide the murderous intent in the eyes of the Duke Nether.

"It's a misunderstanding, Your Majesty. I was merely preparing to go to the Star Dou Great Forest to hunt for Soul Ring, and I had absolutely no ill intentions."

Duke Nether involuntarily took two steps back as he looked into Xuan Zi's dark pupils.

Do you think I'm stupid?

"Are you coming alone to hunt for Soul Ring?"

Xuan Zi looked at the Duke Nether and suddenly felt a surge of appetite.

Duke Nether felt a chill run through his body, and then almost instantly activated his Martial Soul Avatar, transforming into a giant Black Cat and rushing towards the Star Dou Great Forest.

Eight Soul Ring flashed around his body, and his speed increased again and again.

"The Hell Spirit Cat!"

"The Hell Spirit Cat!"

Xuan Zi's eyes flashed with murderous intent as he watched the giant cat disappear at lightning speed.

He will never forget how he got to this point.

It's all that God Position Inheritor's fault. If it weren't for that God Position Inheritor's appearance, he wouldn't have ended up like this.

"Die, all of you!"

Xuan Zi's feet shifted slightly, and the earth instantly shattered.

Xuan Zi, on the other hand, used the powerful recoil to chase after Duke Nether.

He couldn't handle the Star Luo Empire Saintess, but surely he could handle a level 90 Soul Douluo with the Nether Civet Martial Soul?

"Damn it, how can he be so fast? I can't shake him off!"

The Duke Nether's Soul Ring flashed continuously, and the speed increased again and again, but his body could not withstand such intense Soul Power flow and began to gradually crack.

But sensing the approaching presence behind him, Duke Nether knew that there was no way he could escape.

If Xuan Zi were to let me go after seeing what he's done, that would be a miracle.

The only way out now...

Duke Nether's expression was icy; he would rather die than fall into Xuan Zi's hands.

He figured it out: although Xuan Zi recognized his Martial Soul, he probably didn't know about Zhu Lu's relationship with him, or hadn't made the connection yet.

But if given more time, he might make the connection.

If he becomes the one who restricts Zhu Lu...

No, no, he can't become a burden to Zhu Lu no matter what.

If they don't help, fine, but if they become a burden, what kind of person are they?

"Kid, you're quite tenacious. Who is Zhu Lu to you from the Netherworld Zhu Family of the Star Luo Empire?"

"I'll give you a chance. Stop right there and I won't kill you."

Just as his mind was racing, Xuan Zi's voice came through.

His worst fears have come true.

A resolute glint flashed in the eyes of the Duke Nether!

Even if he dies, he cannot become Shrek's means of controlling Zhu Lu.

Without uttering a word, the Duke Nether suddenly erupted in a cloud of blood mist, his speed increasing to a new level once again.

"Damn it, this guy's got a death wish!"

Xuan Zi cursed under his breath upon seeing this scene, but he couldn't care less about anything else. Although it was embarrassing for a Level 99 person like him to have to use his full strength to deal with a level 90 newbie, it would be a real loss if this guy who was suspected to be a relative of the god's successor really died.

With him around, Shrek might be able to find a way to get closer to the successor of the Divine Exam.

"The true form of the Taotie!"

Xuan Zi instantly transformed into a giant Taotie on the spot.

He was fascinated by the terrifying power.

"Is this the power of a divine-level Martial Soul and Level 99!?"

Xuan Zi sighed for a moment, then without any hesitation, he accelerated and grabbed at Duke Nether.

In just a few seconds, Xuan Zi appeared behind Duke Nether, his enormous claws almost grabbing Duke Nether.

But at that very moment, the Duke Nether's hind paw stepped into the area covered by the Star Dou Great Forest.

"Hahaha, kid, go back now!"

At this moment, Xuan Zi was excited. As for his secret?

Why not just turn the Duke Nether into a vegetable?

If we can't win over the successor of the gods, then we'll destroy her.

She used the Duke Nether to destroy her divine trial.

The brighter Xuan Zi's smile, the more Despair the Duke Nether felt.

But the very next moment, Xuan Zi's claws also reached into the Star Dou Great Forest.

The entire space seemed to have been stripped of its color, directly entering a world of black and white.

"My body... I can't move!" ×2

Duke Nether and Xuan Zi were both shocked. Just how strong must one be to do this?

"Humans, it seems I made an agreement with you that humans at the Titled Douluo level are forbidden from setting foot in the Star Dou Great Forest. Do you intend to break this treaty with the Star Dou Great Forest?"

A deep voice echoed throughout the space, and terrifying pressure instantly descended upon Xuan Zi.
