Douluo: One Thought of God and Demon, Inheriting the Dual God Positions of Good and Evil

She had to stall for as long as possible. Once they returned, perhaps there would still be a chance to turn things around.

Qian Renxin saw through her thoughts.

With a soft laugh, he tightened his grip on Xiao Wu's hand.

Xiao Wu's neck was already bruised. Now, she could not even breathe. She struggled desperately with both hands and feet, her fair, pretty face gradually turning purple.

Unfortunately,

with her current strength, she could not break free from Qian Renxin's large hand.

Qian Renxin's physical strength rivaled that of an ordinary Spirit King. There was no way a mere Spirit Master could escape him so easily.

"Xiao Wu!"

Xiao Wu's Mother was heartbroken, but she did not dare act rashly.

Xiao Wu was only an ordinary Spirit Master at the moment. Qian Renxin could kill her with ease; she could not simply rush in and save her.

Qian Renxin loosened his grip slightly and said coldly,

"I'll say it one more time. Don't insult my intelligence. Leave this place with me right now. If you try any more tricks, prepare to lose your daughter forever."

"I understand. Stop tormenting Xiao Wu. I'll go with you."

Xiao Wu's Mother did not dare say anything else.

With worried lips tightly pressed together, she followed Qian Renxin and the others away from the Lake of Life.

Elsewhere,

"Azure Slowing Domain!"

The Sky Azure Bull Python straightened its body as azure Soul Power rippled outward. Everything around them suddenly seemed to have been switched to slow motion.

Even the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger, swift as lightning, slowed down.

"Earth Fist!"

The Titan Giant Ape charged forward in time. Its huge fist, like a small mountain, smashed heavily into the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger and sent it flying.

Fortunately, the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's body was tough enough that the blow only caused minor internal injuries.

"Roar!"

It let out an enraged tiger roar, seemingly pained, and unleashed the power of its domain beneath its feet.

In an instant, heaven and earth changed color. The forest seemed to be shrouded in night.

The Sky Azure Bull Python and Titan Giant Ape's five senses were blocked, and even their spiritual power could not penetrate the black mist.

"Er Ming, be careful. This is its Darkness Domain. Spread your Gravity Domain throughout the area to keep it from attacking. I'll use my Slowing Domain to break its domain."

The Sky Azure Bull Python remained calm as it warned him.

This was not their first battle against the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger. They knew each other's abilities well enough.

"Mm, Gravity Domain!"

Purple ripples spread from the Titan Giant Ape's body, stirring up all the dust on the ground as gravity surged in reverse.

The Dark Demon Evil God Tiger did not dare approach.

It had suffered at the hands of the Gravity Domain before. Once it got close, it would find it difficult to break free.

It condensed a ball of wind and lightning energy in its mouth, preparing to fire it at the Sky Azure Bull Python.

Just then,

with a bang, an explosion sounded in the sky.

The Dark Demon Evil God Tiger noticed the fireworks overhead, swallowed the energy ball back into its stomach, flapped its wings, and hurriedly flew away.

The Sky Azure Bull Python quickly broke through the Darkness Domain as well.

"Trying to run? Da Ming, let's chase it!"

The Titan Giant Ape burned with rage. "It actually dared come to the central region and provoke us! I won't calm down until I tear off its wings!"

"Wait, I think I heard something just now..."

The Sky Azure Bull Python looked toward the sky. Only the white smoke left behind by the fireworks remained. "That was... something humans use?"

Its mind was clearly much sharper than the Titan Giant Ape's. It immediately realized, "This is bad. Sister Xiao Wu and Auntie!"

The two Soul Beasts immediately turned around and rushed back to the Lake of Life without stopping.

Nothing seemed amiss at the Lake of Life, yet Xiao Wu and Xiao Wu's Mother were nowhere to be seen by the shore.

Even after searching everywhere,

they still could not find the slightest trace of Xiao Wu or Xiao Wu's Mother.

"Da Ming, what do we do? Auntie wouldn't leave without saying anything..." The Titan Giant Ape said in a panic, dropping onto the lakeshore.

"There's a human scent. It seems they were taken by human Spirit Masters..."

The Sky Azure Bull Python was furious. Holy light blazed in its azure eyes, and with the frustration in its heart unable to find release, it let out an enraged bovine roar toward the sky.

The Soul Beasts in the central region were not weak; each had at least tens of thousands of years of cultivation.

Yet upon hearing the Sky Azure Bull Python's roar, not a single one dared move recklessly. They obediently lay prone on the ground.

Before the two overlords of Star Dou, even Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts would not dare provoke them casually.

After all, in terms of strength,

the Sky Azure Bull Python and Titan Giant Ape were absolutely among the strongest Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts.

Besides, ordinary Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts did not usually gather together. These two were exceptions. If they disagreed with you, they would gang up on you. Who could endure that?

"Er Ming, Sister Xiao Wu and Auntie's scents only disappeared a short while ago. Let's hurry and catch up!"

After roaring, the Sky Azure Bull Python said once it had calmed down slightly.

Soul Beasts primarily relied on scent to connect with one another.

After spending day and night together, they had long since memorized the two women's scents.

"Mm!"

The Titan Giant Ape agreed and immediately hurried toward the outer forest.

Elsewhere,

Qian Renxin had already brought Xiao Wu to the mixed region, far, far away from the central region. Even so, he could still sense a powerful wave of sound coming from the center.

"It's Da Ming..."

Xiao Wu turned her head.

Sensing that familiar power, she could not help crying out. She nearly burst into tears on the spot.

She had truly been too naïve, actually thinking of taking the initiative to enter human society.

Without the protection of the Titan Giant Ape and Sky Azure Bull Python, she had seen the terror of human Spirit Masters for the first time.

Qian Renxin glanced back, unconcerned.

They had already escaped the central core region.

Those two divine beasts were too large, and they could not fly. Their speed was greatly affected, so they had virtually no chance of catching up with them again.

At that moment,

the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger flew down from the sky.

Its injuries were not light. A trace of blood hung at the corner of its mouth, and its wings were riddled with holes. It looked rather miserable.

The instant it saw Xiao Wu and Xiao Wu's Mother,

the resentment in its heart overflowed. To vent its anger, it opened its bloodthirsty jaws and bit toward Xiao Wu.

Xiao Wu's Mother's heart jolted, and she prepared to step in and block it.

But Qian Renxin was closer. He raised a hand before it to stop it. "Xiao An, stop!"

The Dark Demon Evil God Tiger immediately stopped in place. It forcibly suppressed the anger in its heart and did not attack Xiao Wu again, but it still sulkily turned its head away, refusing to look at Qian Renxin.

It had suffered quite a few injuries this time just to buy Qian Renxin time.

There had clearly been two Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts. By rights, one of them should have been given to it. It had even voluntarily chosen the younger one.

Qian Renxin also knew it had rendered great service. Smiling, he reached out and stroked its forehead.

"Don't rush. I know what you've done."

"The Sky Azure Bull Python and the others are in a furious state right now. Leave Star Dou with me for a while first. I'll pick out a few Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts for you at my family's Soul Hunting Grounds, and see if there are any Immortal Herbs suitable for you."

Leaving Star Dou, Xiao Wu's Mother's Question

Upon hearing Qian Renxin's words,

the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's little temper subsided. It rubbed its large head against Qian Renxin.

Seeing the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger behave so obediently,

Xiao Wu's Mother inexplicably found it a little amusing. A top-tier Soul Beast with tens of thousands of years of cultivation was actually being disciplined so obediently by a human child.

But on second thought, she felt sad for herself.

How much better could her own fate be?

With Xiao Wu as leverage, she was probably not even guaranteed to keep her life.

Qian Renxin climbed onto the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's back and handed the Xiao Wu he had been carrying to Ling Yuan. "Ling Yuan, take hold of her and fly. Don't let her escape."

"Yes, Young Master."

Ling Yuan reached out and grabbed Xiao Wu, sighing inwardly that such a cute and beautiful young girl was actually a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast.

Seeing that they were about to leave Star Dou,

Xiao Wu furiously cursed, struggling without pause.

"Bad people, bastards, you'll definitely die without closing your eyes..."

Ling Yuan curled her lips.

That insult vocabulary was truly unimpressive. It nearly made her laugh.

Qian Renxin gave her an indifferent glance.

Xiao Wu immediately fell silent and did not dare make a fuss.

She knew Qian Renxin would truly act. Her neck still hurt even now.

Qian Renxin could not be bothered to make a move either.

If Xiao Wu kept struggling, he would simply teleport over and teach her a lesson.

He patted the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger. "Xiao An, you can take off now. Fly toward the outskirts."

The Dark Demon Evil God Tiger did not resist. With a light flap of its two pitch-black Evil God Wings, it soared into the air, even moving slightly faster than Ling Yuan.

Ling Yuan followed closely behind, Xiao Wu dangling from her hand.

Behind them came Ju Gui and Xiao Wu's Mother. Ju Gui was responsible for watching Xiao Wu's Mother and preventing her from escaping.

Xiao Wu's Mother looked back at Star Dou and sighed.

She did not know whether, after today,

she would ever be able to return to this forest again.

But there was no choice. Dying was simple; only by living could she seek a chance at survival.

After flying for several days,

the group completely left the Star Dou Great Forest and entered human society.

Qian Renxin casually found an inn and prepared to rest for a while.

During this period, in order to hunt Soul Beasts, he had been living in tents and eating Soul Beast meat.

It was not exactly hardship, but it certainly was not as comfortable as staying at an inn.
