The Woman Who Wants to Kill My Girl Is Courting Death!

Sun Sheng, who was returning the way he had come in search of Tuo Bayue, received another notification from the system.

Sure enough, his efforts had not gone to waste.

Dragon Lord had probably put in quite a bit of work for him.

An hour later, Sun Sheng finally found Tuo Bayue.

"Little Sheng, you're finally back. I was so scared. I thought I'd never see you again."

The anxious Tuo Bayue, who had been waiting where she was, threw herself at Sun Sheng the instant she saw him return.

She buried her head in his arms and lightly pounded his chest with her tiny fists, her voice brimming with worry and grievance.

Streams of scalding tears slowly rolled down her fair, delicate cheeks.

"All right, all right. Didn't I come back?"

Sun Sheng gently stroked her hair and comforted her softly.

"Little Sheng, promise me you'll never leave me again, okay?"

Tuo Bayue slowly raised her head and looked at Sun Sheng with pitiful eyes, her face full of pleading.

"Silly girl, even if you tried to drive me away, I wouldn't leave you."

"I'm stuck with you for life."

Sun Sheng gently wiped the tears from her face and smiled affectionately.

"Mm!"

Tuo Bayue nodded, rose onto her tiptoes, and kissed him deeply.

"Come on, Little Yueyue, hop on. Let's go find Sister Nana and the others!"

Still savoring their tenderness from moments ago, Sun Sheng slowly crouched down and signaled for her to climb onto his back.

"Hehe, giddyup, giddyup, giddyup!"

Tuo Bayue giggled as she jumped onto his back, waving her little hands.

"Let's go!"

Sun Sheng found a suitable position with both hands to support her, then followed the markers Hu Liena had left behind.

"Wang Wu, fall back. You don't need to help us."

"Just keep watch around the perimeter."

Yan stood alone in front of Wang Wu and drove back a giant mantis with a single punch. Its entire body was dark green, it stood ten meters tall, and it wielded a pair of massive scythes over five meters long.

This mantis was the famed Death Mantis of the Soul Beast world. It was agile, possessed immense offensive power, and had terrifying lethality.

It was one of the most dangerous Soul Beasts.

Though this Death Mantis had only just reached ten thousand years, it was enough to Crush ordinary Soul Beasts that were twenty or thirty thousand years old and could even kill them.

"Yes!"

After hearing him, Wang Wu withdrew from the battle with a somewhat dejected expression.

He knew that Yan, Xie Yue, and Hu Liena were very dissatisfied with his combat ability.

Ever since they had discovered the Death Mantis and fought it,

he had not played much of a role. Yan, Xie Yue, and Hu Liena had even needed to intervene constantly to help him block the Death Mantis's deadly attacks.

Even if the three of them did not say it outright, he knew he was nothing but dead weight.

Not only could he not help, but he was even getting in their way.

The gap in their strength filled him with a deep sense of inferiority.

He was, at the very least, a Level 51 Spirit King. On Douluo Continent, he could be considered a minor powerhouse.

Yet before Yan, Xie Yue, and Hu Liena, he was just a weakling.

There was no need to mention Yan. He was also a Level 51 Spirit King, and Wang Wu being weaker than him was still something he could accept.

After all, combat strength depended on many factors, such as Martial Souls, Soul Rings, Soul Skills, and so on.

But Xie Yue and Hu Liena had not even advanced to Spirit King yet, nor did they possess Ten Thousand Year Soul Rings or Soul Skills.

Yet the combat strength they unleashed was still beyond anything he could compare to.

That made it hard for him to accept.

Was the gap between him and Spirit Hall's geniuses really that enormous?

Without a doubt, Wang Wu had suffered a severe blow and completely lost confidence in himself.

"Little sister, you're in charge of distracting it."

"Yan, you'll be the main attacker. Keep the Death Mantis under frontal pressure."

Once Wang Wu had left the battlefield, Xie Yue immediately made arrangements.

Although Yan was the strongest among the three,

Xie Yue had a quick mind and was resourceful and decisive. He could always spot problems at crucial moments and make accurate judgments.

Whenever the three fought together, he was the true core.

"Fox Charm!"

After hearing Xie Yue's orders, Hu Liena did not hesitate to unleash her first Soul Skill. A pink light shot from her seductive eyes.

Although her first Soul Skill was merely a hundred-year Soul Skill and had very little effect on a ten-thousand-year Death Mantis,

it could still leave the Death Mantis dazed for a brief moment.

That was enough for Yan and Xie Yue to seize the opportunity and launch a surprise attack.

Sure enough, the instant the pink light entered the Death Mantis's eyes, Yan and Xie Yue struck at once.

"Flying Sand Raging Flames!"

Yan decisively unleashed his Ten Thousand Year Soul Skill. His black Soul Ring lit up instantly, releasing a deep black radiance.

Then, flying sand and raging flames intertwined, surging toward the Death Mantis head-on.

The terrifying might made Wang Wu, who was watching from the side, tremble in fear.

So strong!

Both were Ten Thousand Year Soul Skills, yet the power Yan unleashed was far beyond his own.

That enormous gap dealt him another crushing blow.

"Break!"

At the same time, Xie Yue's four Soul Skills lit up at once. The moon blade in his hand transformed into a streak of bright moonlight and spun through the air at extreme speed.

The Death Mantis was no pushover. It instantly broke free from Hu Liena's first Soul Skill.

Its pair of massive scythes, each over five meters long, shimmered with dark green light as they slashed separately toward Yan's and Xie Yue's attacks.

Boom!

Sparks flew, sand whipped through the air, moonlight gleamed, and dark green radiance blazed!

"Little sister!"

Xie Yue suddenly shouted and rushed toward Hu Liena at top speed.

He knew that, with their current abilities, killing the Death Mantis would still be difficult.

To end the battle as quickly as possible, Xie Yue intended to use their final trump card with Hu Liena.

Upon hearing Xie Yue's shout, Hu Liena rushed toward him with perfect coordination.

The moment the two touched, a dazzling red flash burst forth and rapidly spread outward, forming a red curtain of light like a sphere.

After the red light faded, the two had become a bewitching figure with flowing long red hair, one whose gender could not be distinguished.

This was Xie Yue and Hu Liena's Martial Soul Fusion Skill, Demon Charm!

They had finally used it!

Seeing their transformation, Yan breathed a sigh of relief and revealed a confident smile.

Several months ago, the two had used their Martial Soul Fusion Skill to help him hunt a ten-thousand-year Soul Beast.

Wang Wu, meanwhile, was left dumbstruck, his eyes wide with shock.

He had never expected the two of them to possess such a powerful method as a Martial Soul Fusion Skill.

"It's over!"

In the Demon Charm state, Xie Yue looked at the uninjured Death Mantis and threw out both red moon blades simultaneously. They became a crimson Full Moon that tore through the air.

In an instant, a faint red gleam flashed. Xie Yue and Hu Liena separated, collapsing onto the ground with pale faces.

That move had been Xie Yue's self-created Soul Skill, called Full Moon.

Whether he used it alone or in the Demon Charm state,

the instant the attack was unleashed, it would consume all the Soul Power in his body, leaving him unable to fight again for a short time.

Clang!

Perhaps sensing the threat, the Death Mantis released dazzling dark green light from its entire body, while terrifying killing intent erupted from within it.

Enhanced by the dark green light and killing intent, the Death Mantis transformed, taking the shape of a massive double-edged blade as it charged toward the red Full Moon.

Clang!

The Death Mantis collided with the red Full Moon, erupting with dazzling red and green light that enveloped everything within a hundred meters.

Just when everyone believed the Death Mantis had died, it suddenly shot out from the brilliant red and green light at high speed, one of its scythes broken.

"Not good!"

Yan and Wang Wu's expressions changed drastically. They wanted to rush over and help, but it was already too late.

Hu Liena and Xie Yue could only stare in terror at the Death Mantis charging toward them.

The two knew their time had come.

But at that moment, a domineering, powerful voice rang out.

"Anyone who wants to kill my woman is courting death!"
