Phoenix-tail Crested Serpent

Ning Rongrong flashed a cunning smile, then pushed the door open.

Xiao Wu was the happiest upon entering the Star Dou Great Forest.

After walking for some distance, Zhao Wuji spoke up and told everyone to stop.

Oscar said as he directly produced a sausage, "My sausages have a certain detoxifying effect. If anything dangerous happens, have them eat one."

Several people nodded. Then, with Dai Mubai and Bai Ying leading the way, they arrived at a relatively open area.

"Teacher Zhao, I actually have a way to find a suitable Soul Beast."

Bai Ying spoke up.

Zhao Wuji turned to look at Bai Ying and said, "What's your method?"

"Then hurry up and tell us."

Bai Ying nodded and finally took an Aromatic Silk Beauty from his storage space.

The moment the Aromatic Silk Beauty appeared, everyone felt a refreshing fragrance.

"This is an Aromatic Silk Beauty? How did you obtain it?"

Tang San's face was filled with shock. As a disciple of the Tang Sect, he naturally knew the Aromatic Silk Beauty better than anyone.

Although the Aromatic Silk Beauty did not have a detoxifying effect, any poison within its range would lose its effects.

It was one of the most practical immortal herbs recorded in the Tang Sect's Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record.

"You recognize this thing?"

Zhao Wuji turned to look at Tang San.

Tang San nodded and looked at Bai Ying. "You want to use the medicinal effects of the Aromatic Silk Beauty to attract Soul Beasts."

"Exactly. Very good?"

"I feel this method is somewhat inappropriate. Although the Aromatic Silk Beauty can attract Soul Beasts, there's no guarantee of the strength of the Soul Beasts it attracts. If a powerful Soul Beast comes, we'll die without a burial place."

"I've already considered that. Don't worry!"

Bai Ying took out the Qiankun Cover. In an instant, faint Soul Power radiance spread out, forming a barrier within it.

"What is this?"

Ning Rongrong asked.

"A Soul Tool? No, it should be a ninth-level Soul Tool."

"Are you confident?"

"Teacher Zhao, please rest assured. I'm absolutely confident."

Zhao Wuji thought for a moment and ultimately agreed to the method. After all, searching again and again in the vast, boundless Star Dou Great Forest would take far more time.

A faint fragrance wafted from the Aromatic Silk Beauty, making everyone feel that their Soul Power was unusually abundant.

Tang San stared at the Aromatic Silk Beauty, his eyes practically saying that he wanted to make it his own.

Just then, a strange sound came from a patch of grass very nearby.

The group swiftly prepared for battle, killing intent showing in their eyes.

"This aura is from a Phoenix-tail Crested Serpent?" Bai Ying blurted out.

Zhao Wuji asked, "How do you know?"

"Would you believe me if I said I've killed too many of them and developed muscle memory?"

Zhao Wuji was utterly speechless.

Zhu Zhuqing immediately jumped onto a tree to take a look and described all the characteristics of the Soul Beast.

It was indeed a Phoenix-tail Crested Serpent. Zhu Zhuqing charged ahead, unleashing her first Soul Skill, Hell Stab, and diving straight down.

As if sensing the threat of death, the Phoenix-tail Crested Serpent opened its mouth and spat out a cloud of colorful mist.

A black shadow suddenly pounced forward, and three Soul Rings swiftly appeared beneath its feet.

Shadow Dragon Claw tore a huge gash in the serpent's body, and blood flowed down its body.

The Phoenix-tail Crested Serpent cried out in pain, its body straining even harder.

"It's already injured. This really is a case of finding it without any effort."

In the next moment, something nobody expected happened. Bai Ying relied on his brute strength to forcibly pull the Phoenix-tail Crested Serpent down.

The Phoenix-tail Crested Serpent still wanted to struggle.

However, the Martial Soul aura emanating from Bai Ying made it unable to move, and its body trembled involuntarily.

With a bang, the Phoenix-tail Crested Serpent cried out in pain. Bai Ying had actually torn off one of its wings with his bare hands.

Such a bloody scene made everyone feel physically uncomfortable.

"Bai Ying, isn't that a little too bloody?" Oscar could not help saying softly.

"In this world, the strong survive and the weak are eliminated. That is simply the law of nature. Soul Masters killing Soul Beasts has been justified from ancient times to the present. It has nothing to do with right or wrong, only strength."

"Oscar, stop being so wishy-washy and hurry up with the absorption. I have a bad feeling."

Oscar quickly came to the front of the Phoenix-tail Crested Serpent and brought his knife down. A purple thousand-year Soul Ring slowly floated out of the Phoenix-tail Crested Serpent's corpse.

Oscar quickly sat cross-legged and began absorbing the Soul Ring.

"I didn't expect it to be this easy!"

Zhao Wuji sat on the ground and watched Oscar absorb the Soul Ring. He had not expected things to go so smoothly.

Just as everyone relaxed, a voice suddenly came from the distance. "Stop!"

Zhao Wuji swiftly stood up and released his Martial Soul.

Two people approached from the distance. One was a spirited old woman. Although her hair was completely white, her skin was still as smooth as a young girl's.

Behind her, a young woman was tightly wrapped in a black outfit. She looked beautiful and alluring.

When Snake Granny Chao Tianxiang saw the seven Soul Rings around Zhao Wuji, her tone changed. She then cautiously said, "Esteemed Soul Saint, could you give this Phoenix-tail Crested Serpent to my granddaughter?"

Zhao Wuji said, "Too late. My student has already begun absorbing it."

Chao Tianxiang's tone shifted as she glanced at Oscar, who was absorbing the Soul Ring, and then said, "He has already broken through level 30?"

Chao Tianxiang looked at Oscar's age and thought that he was not much older than her granddaughter.

"May I ask your esteemed name?"

"Immovable Ming King Zhao Wuji."

The more Chao Tianxiang thought about it, the more unwilling she became. She and her granddaughter had gone through great hardship to hunt this Soul Beast, only for someone else to benefit in the end.

"Brother Zhao, I ask that you give me an explanation for this matter."

"An explanation? What explanation? You can only blame yourselves for arriving too late."

Meng Yiran spoke up. "You're bullying people! We obtained this Soul Beast through countless hardships. You merely took advantage of us."

"It's only a Soul Beast. I'll compensate you."

"Compensate us? Are you joking? Finding a suitable Soul Beast is extremely difficult."

"Whether I'm joking or not, wait here for a while and you'll know."

Bai Ying's tone was extremely certain. Chao Tianxiang asked, "And this person is?"

"I'm merely a student at an academy."

"If you want a suitable Soul Beast, just wait here for a while. One will appear soon. By the way, let me remind you that if you're thinking of attacking, I advise you not to bother. Even a powerhouse at the Titled Douluo level would need to spend some time attacking this barrier, let alone mere Spirit Emperors like you."

"What a joke! My grandmother is a Spirit Emperor, and do you know how long we searched for this Soul Beast?"

"Who cares how long you searched? Whoever obtains it gets it."
