Dragon Snake Combination Skill Battles the Titan Giant Ape

"How is this possible? Why would a Soul Beast like the Titan Giant Ape appear on the outskirts of the Star Dou Great Forest?"

Snake Dowager was overwhelmed by shock. By all reason, a Soul Beast like the Titan Giant Ape should have been in the core region of the Star Dou Great Forest—that was where it belonged.

Yet it had appeared in an area where even Thousand-Year Soul Beasts were exceedingly rare. This unexpected turn of events had truly caught them off guard.

At that moment, the breathing of all three people present nearly stopped. They were terrified that even the slightest movement would draw the Titan Giant Ape's attention.

Fortunately, the King of the Forest paid no heed to the thoughts of little bugs like Qing Mu and the others. It merely passed by them and charged swiftly toward the depths of the Star Dou Great Forest.

Yet Qing Mu vaguely noticed that there seemed to be an extremely tiny figure sitting atop the Titan Giant Ape's shoulder.

However, just as Snake Dowager and Meng Yiran breathed a sigh of relief, thinking the danger was about to pass, the Titan Giant Ape seemed to notice something and abruptly stopped.

The next moment, the Titan Giant Ape covered several hundred meters in a few swift strides and smashed a fist heavily into the ground.

"BOOM—"

The immense force instantly cracked the earth apart. A white-haired elderly figure flew out of the forest, his face filled with terror.

"Damn it! I didn't provoke this Titan Giant Ape. Why is it attacking me for no reason?"

Dragon Duke was also puzzled. Soul Beasts like the Titan Giant Ape possessed intelligence no weaker than that of humans, so why had it suddenly attacked him? Could it be simply because he was a human Soul Douluo?

"This is bad—it's the old man!"

The moment Snake Dowager saw this, she immediately realized something was wrong. Her Soul Rings lit up around her as she hurried toward Dragon Duke.

This Titan Giant Ape was at least sixty thousand years old. Dragon Duke alone would not be able to hold on for long; only by joining forces would the two of them have a sliver of hope for survival!

The instant Snake Dowager appeared, Dragon Duke sensed her nearby. Joy surged through him, and he immediately rushed to meet up with her.

"ROAR!!!"

Seeing this, the Titan Giant Ape let out an earth-shaking roar. It uprooted a towering tree beside it with one hand, stripped it down with a casual swipe, and a crude massive club appeared in its grasp.

Then the Titan Giant Ape leaped into the air and swung its massive club down at Dragon Duke and Snake Dowager.

The Titan Giant Ape was not slow, but its use of a weapon was rather clumsy. Dragon Duke and Snake Dowager easily dodged the blow.

Yet the moment she dodged, Snake Dowager realized something was wrong, because the Titan Giant Ape's attack had been aimed at where they had gathered earlier.

BOOM—

Meng Yiran, who had been by the river, watched the enormous tree descend from the sky, her face turning pale. She wanted to move and flee, but her body had become incomparably stiff, and she had no strength left at all.

Under the Titan Giant Ape's immense pressure, she was actually unable to move.

Whoosh~

At that moment, a green Vine extended from afar and, by the narrowest of margins, pulled her out of the range of the Titan Giant Ape's strike.

That was right—the one who acted was Qing Mu's Bulbasaur. The instant Snake Dowager rushed out, Qing Mu knew things were about to go wrong. He and Bulbasaur immediately ran toward the outskirts of the Star Dou Great Forest, and he had also used Vine Whip to tug Meng Yiran, who had yet to react, intending to warn her.

But even Qing Mu had not expected the Titan Giant Ape's attack to land right where Meng Yiran stood. His casual action had ended up saving her life.

Very quickly, Vine Whip pulled her to Qing Mu and Bulbasaur's side.

Then, while fleeing at top speed, Qing Mu shouted at Meng Yiran behind him, who was still standing there in a daze, "What are you spacing out for? Run already! Do you want to become a burden to your grandfather and grandmother?"

Qing Mu's words immediately snapped Meng Yiran out of it. Three Soul Rings—yellow, yellow, and purple—rose from her body.

As her newest third Soul Ring lit up, two pink wings formed from condensed energy appeared at both ends of the Serpent Cane in Meng Yiran's hand.

This was her Third Spirit Skill, Snake Wing!

Its effect allowed her to use the Serpent Cane as a base and fly at ninety percent of a Phoenix-tail Crested Serpent's speed for three minutes.

Within a few breaths, Meng Yiran rode her Serpent Cane and caught up to the fleeing Qing Mu. She brushed back the hair at her forehead, extended a hand to him, and said, "Little brother, thank you for before. Come up. My Serpent Cane is much faster than you running like this."

While running, Qing Mu glanced at Meng Yiran and found that her Serpent Cane really was much faster than he was at present. He nodded, grabbed Meng Yiran's hand, and climbed onto her Serpent Cane.

As for Bulbasaur, the moment Qing Mu withdrew his Martial Soul, it returned to his body, so there was no need to worry about it being left behind.

Although Bulbasaur was a Detached Beast Martial Soul, a Detached Beast Martial Soul was still just a Martial Soul. Qing Mu was the true body.

Their attempt to flee naturally caught the Titan Giant Ape's attention. It casually hurled an enormous boulder at them.

Under the Titan Giant Ape's tremendous strength, the mountain-sized boulder shot toward Qing Mu and Meng Yiran like a cannonball.

"This is bad!"

At the sight, both Dragon Duke and Snake Dowager's eyes nearly split with rage. After all, the one the Titan Giant Ape was attacking was their most beloved granddaughter!

Without any hesitation, they crossed the Dragon Head Cane and Serpent Head Cane in their hands and unleashed their Martial Soul Fusion Skill, Dragon Snake Combination Skill!

As a dragon's roar and a serpent's hiss intertwined in the air, a golden dragon cry and an azure serpent dance twisted together, transforming into a spiral beam of gold and green light that instantly pierced through the mountain-sized boulder hurtling toward Meng Yiran and Qing Mu.

Even after shattering the boulder, the Dragon Snake Combination Skill did not end. The spiral beam formed by the golden dragon and azure serpent then curved through the air and blasted rapidly toward the Titan Giant Ape.

"BOOM—"

In an instant, the golden dragon phantom and azure serpent mist intertwined as they slammed heavily into the Titan Giant Ape's mountain-like body. Powerful energy shockwaves erupted, driving it back dozens of meters.

Seeing the Dragon Snake Combination Skill hit the Titan Giant Ape, Dragon Duke and Snake Dowager could not help but feel a flicker of joy. Even if it was a Titan Giant Ape, being struck by their Dragon Snake Combination Skill could not have felt good, could it?

However, when the energy shockwaves dispersed, the scene before them shattered their hopes completely.

The Titan Giant Ape simply patted the spot on its chest where it had been struck by the Dragon Snake Combination Skill, as though brushing away dust. Its eyes held a trace of disdain as it looked at Dragon Duke and Snake Dowager, as if saying, You think an attack like that can hurt me?

Looking at the Titan Giant Ape, still full of vigor and not even bearing a single wound, Dragon Duke and Snake Dowager were filled with despair.

This was simply not an opponent they could defeat.

Run! Only by running did they have a sliver of hope of survival!
