Roar!

The Titan Giant Ape, sensing the power erupting from the Ruyi Jingu Bang and wanting to protect Xiao Wu, let out a deafening roar. A deep black light burst from its body as it swung its massive fist head-on.

In terms of strength, aside from a certain someone, it had never feared anyone.

Boom!

The staff and fist collided, unleashing a wild, swirling black shockwave that tore everything within a hundred meters into pieces.

The power unleashed by Sun Sheng's strike was equivalent to a full-force attack from a Soul Sage-level expert.

However, it still couldn't contend with the Titan Giant Ape's fist.

He only managed to hold on for a moment before being blasted away by the black shockwave, crashing through several giant trees before finally stopping.

His blood surged, and he spat out a mouthful of blood before feeling somewhat better.

Fortunately, his Vajra body was indestructible and possessed extreme defensive power.

Otherwise, all the bones in his body would have been broken, leaving him critically injured.

"Damn it, Elder Ghost, if you don't come out, this young master is done for!"

Sun Sheng, terrified by the Titan Giant Ape's overwhelming strength, circulated his soul power and quickly cried out for help.

He knew that Pope Bibi Dong must have sent someone to protect him in the shadows.

After all, his talent was astonishing, and Bibi Dong valued him greatly, so she wouldn't let anything happen to him.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have dared to challenge Zhao Wuji.

The reason he was so certain was based on the original story, where Bibi Dong had sent Yue Guan to protect Hu Liena, which he extrapolated from.

As for why he was so sure that the person protecting him in the shadows was Ghost Douluo, it was because of a mysterious connection between them.

It was this connection that led Ghost Douluo to become his introducer to Spirit Hall.

Sure enough, just as Sun Sheng had expected.

As soon as he shouted, a black shadow flitted past, standing alone in front of Sun Sheng.

That's right, this person was Ghost Douluo, Guimei.

Nine soul rings, yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, black, black, black, black, slowly floated down, complementing each other perfectly.

"Titled Douluo?"

"Erming, let's go!"

Upon seeing Ghost Douluo's nine soul rings, Xiao Wu immediately told the Titan Giant Ape to retreat.

In truth, she didn't want to hurt Sun Sheng; she only wanted Erming to teach him a lesson.

Since a Titled Douluo had appeared, there was no need to stay any longer.

Besides, Sun Sheng was already in a sorry state, so the goal had been achieved.

Roar!

The Titan Giant Ape let out a low roar, glanced at Ghost Douluo and Sun Sheng, and then left with Xiao Wu.

Although it didn't fear Ghost Douluo, it was afraid of accidentally injuring Xiao Wu in a fight.

After all, Titled Douluos weren't so easy to deal with.

Ghost Douluo secretly breathed a sigh of relief after seeing the Titan Giant Ape leave.

Fighting a hundred-thousand-year Titan Giant Ape was just asking for a beating.

Fortunately, the Titan Giant Ape left.

Otherwise, he would have had to run away with Sun Sheng.

"Sun Sheng, what happened? How did you provoke the Titan Giant Ape, and you even dared to fight it? Aren't you courting death?"

"Who was that little girl? Why did the Titan Giant Ape listen to her?"

"Also, where did you get this hundred-thousand-year soul ring?"

Ghost Douluo turned to look at Sun Sheng, who was slowly getting up, and immediately asked several questions.

"Cough, cough, Elder Ghost, what are you talking about? I don't have a hundred-thousand-year soul ring."

"Also, aren't you mistaken? That little girl was clearly kidnapped by the Titan Giant Ape, okay?"

Sun Sheng coughed lightly twice, rolled his eyes, and retorted.

First, he didn't want to reveal his hundred-thousand-year soul ring.

Second, he didn't want Ghost Douluo to discover Xiao Wu's identity.

Otherwise, he would definitely inform Bibi Dong and come to hunt Xiao Wu to obtain the hundred-thousand-year soul ring.

"You little brat, don't try to pull that on me; it won't work. Tell me the truth, or I'll take you back to Spirit Hall and let His Holiness the Pope interrogate you."

"You'll be in for a world of pain then."

Ghost Douluo was an old monster who had lived for nearly a hundred years, so how could he not see through the little devil Sun Sheng's thoughts? He directly flicked him on the forehead.

"It hurts, it hurts, it hurts! Isn't it enough that I'm telling the truth?"

Sun Sheng rubbed his slightly aching head, a hint of complaint in his voice.

"Speak quickly, or you'll be sorry."

Ghost Douluo gestured with his hand, seemingly indicating that if Sun Sheng didn't tell the truth, he would take action.

"Actually, this Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Ring was a gift from my old grandpa, who raised me from a young age, before he sacrificed himself to me before he died."

"It was then that I learned my old grandpa was a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, and before he adopted me, he had already suffered severe injuries..."

Sun Sheng's mind raced, and he immediately came up with a suitable reason, claiming it was from his old grandpa, who had adopted him and died a long time ago, who had sacrificed himself.

This was the most reasonable and persuasive reason he could think of at the moment.

After all, it was impossible for him to hunt a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, let alone absorb a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Ring, unless it was a sacrifice from a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast.

In order to make it seem more realistic, Sun Sheng secretly dabbed some saliva on his face, pretending to be in extreme grief.

Sure enough, Ghost Douluo chose to believe him after hearing his explanation.

Because he also felt that this was the most reasonable explanation.

"Then how did you offend the Titan Giant Ape? And who is that little girl?"

Ghost Douluo continued to ask, obviously not wanting to let it go.

"Sigh, don't even mention it, it's all tears when I talk about it..."

Next, Sun Sheng began to fabricate stories again.

He claimed that the Titan Giant Ape had a special fondness for beautiful human girls. When it was out for a stroll, it happened to encounter students from Shrek Academy, so it took action to snatch them away, wanting to take them back as its bride.

This was completely adapted from the plot of King Kong, and he told it in a very vivid and touching way.

After listening, Ghost Douluo almost believed it.

However, he didn't continue to ask.

Through Sun Sheng's lies just now, he could roughly guess.

Sun Sheng probably didn't know what was going on either.

The reason for making up such an absurd reason was probably because he had taken a liking to the little girl and wanted to protect her.

On this point, he was still somewhat reliable.

After all, he knew Sun Sheng's lustful nature relatively well.

"Ahem, Ghost Douluo, I've also told you the truth, so why don't we just let this matter pass? Just pretend nothing happened, how about it?"

Seeing that he finally stopped asking, Sun Sheng thought he believed him.

He coughed lightly awkwardly and tentatively asked.

"If you want to shut my mouth, you can, but you should pay something, right?" Ghost Douluo said meaningfully.

"Elder Ghost, I understand, I understand, don't worry, as long as you don't tell anyone, I'll give you whatever you want, as long as I can do it."

After hearing his words, Sun Sheng instantly understood what he meant.

"Ahem, you said that."

"Actually, I don't want much, just five Soul Orbs will do."

Ghost Douluo stretched out five fingers, revealing a triumphant smile.

"Five Soul Orbs? Are you robbing me? No way, that's too much, three at most, I don't have more."

As soon as Sun Sheng heard this, he instantly exploded, immediately complaining.

"Okay, three it is, it's a deal."

Ghost Douluo was indeed an old driver, able to predict that Sun Sheng would bargain, deliberately raising the conditions to trick him.

Sure enough, after hearing Ghost Douluo's words, Sun Sheng really wanted to slap himself.

Damn it!

I've been tricked!

This old guy is scamming me.

The old ginger is still spicier.

Although he was unwilling to accept it, he had to suffer a little loss in order to shut Ghost Douluo's mouth.
