Steal and Run, Di Tian Appears in Fury
"It will be soon. You can leave as soon as it's ready, sir."
Above the Star Dou Great Forest, several figures ignored the numerous Soul Beast below. They had already crossed the Soul Beast mixing zone and were flying towards the core at an extremely fast speed.
Han Li was flying at the very front among them, and at that moment, he was turning back to give Dugu Bo instructions.
"Um."
Dugu Bo nodded solemnly, without saying anything more.
Behind them, the speed of several streaks of light also increased slightly again.
At the central lake.
A gentle breeze rippled the surface of the green lake.
By the lake, a huge, jet-black Soul Beast that looked like a hybrid of an ape and a chimpanzee rolled over, seemingly bored.
Its eyes, as big as lanterns, opened, gleaming with a yellowish-orange luster. It moved its head and looked towards the center of the lake.
"Da Ming, how is Sister Xiao Wu doing now? She hasn't come back for a long time."
"Er Ming, do you want to go out and fight again?"
After a few seconds of silence, the lake suddenly churned, and a giant bull's head, more than four meters in diameter, rose from the surface, its eyes, gleaming with an eerie green light, looking toward the Titan Giant Ape on the shore.
The sound of rushing water arose, and its lower body was revealed, revealing itself to be a giant python with a dark blue-black body.
"Hey, this is really boring. The three Qian Jun Ant brothers haven't come to provoke us in a long time. But, I really miss Sister Xiao Wu."
The Titan Giant Ape, known as Er Ming, sat up and looked at the Sky Azure Bull Python Da Ming in the lake with a somewhat ingratiating expression.
"Don't deliberately cause trouble. As for Sister Xiao Wu, it should be soon. Judging from the time, it shouldn't be long since the meeting she arranged last time."
The massive bull's head swayed slightly with its body, giving the Titan Giant Ape a half-warning look; it wasn't as aggressive as its opponent.
"When the time comes, you'd better keep a low profile. Last time, because of you, I didn't even get to see Sister Xiao Wu."
"Knew."
The jet-black Titan Giant Ape scratched its head, about to get up and say something, when it saw the Sky Azure Bull Python's body suddenly stiffen—a reaction only seen when encountering a powerful enemy.
"Moo, Er Ming, upstairs, prepare to engage the enemy."
Upon hearing its words, the Titan Giant Ape immediately braced its arms on the ground, intending to leap up, but then heard a human voice in its ear.
"Oh, lucky me, it just happened to float on the surface, which saved me some trouble."
"Also, I will take you two to see your Sister Xiao Wu shortly."
Above the lake, the Sky Azure Bull Python's mouth was slightly open. Just as its Soul Power was about to gather, a layer of frost appeared on its head, making its thinking extremely slow and interrupting its attack.
On the shore, the Titan Giant Ape was in the same state. Its arms sank down, but before they even touched the ground, its body stiffened in place, so that when the sound came, it was still half-sitting.
The one who attacked them was naturally Han Li. The group concealed their presence as they flew through the sky, but since they had already reached their destination, there was no need for such tactics.
Da Ming's lantern-like eyes were not wasted; he spotted Han Li the moment he revealed himself.
But in the end, it was too late.
Unlike in Spirit City, where Han Li fought against the Tang brothers Tang Xiao and Tang Hao primarily for demonstration and intimidation—to put it bluntly, it was more of an exhibition match for him.
But Da Ming and Er Ming are different. They are Soul Beast. Although their level is only equivalent to that of the Tang Family brothers, Soul Beast are much more durable than human Soul Master.
Most importantly, Han Li wanted to resolve the issue with the two brothers as quickly as possible, so he naturally wouldn't be so particular.
If it weren't a matter of capturing them alive, but rather killing them, Han Li wouldn't mind letting Old Qian take matters into his own hands, or even just remotely blasting them apart. These two have a tendency to self-destruct, so it's better to go all the way from the start.
At this moment, Han Li showed the other party enough respect and directly used the three Soul Bone located in the head.
Two dragon horns, now much smaller after evolution, have emerged from the top of its head.
A pale red light flickered in his right eye, and misty wisps, like tassels, drifted from the corner of his eye toward the back of his head.
The entire head also emitted a faint white glow.
Eagle Eye, Vulnerability, directly marked the two beasts to prepare for the next attack to be maximized, while Tian Meng's Head Soul Bone, combined with the dragon horn, forcibly increased the Spiritual Power amplification attached to the dragon horn to nearly five times.
His Spiritual Power was already formidable, and with the added effect of the Soul Bone, the mental attack imbued with ice element rendered both of them mentally sluggish with almost no power to resist.
Incidentally, the Vulnerability effect added by Eagle Eye caused the ice element to spread directly through their bodies, freezing both their minds and bodies at that moment.
Even Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast with an extremely powerful body is no match for it, because its ice is also at its peak, not to mention that it has also mastered a certain amount of the origin.
Han Li's attacks did not stop there; he always liked to be well-prepared.
The instant he used the Soul Bone to attack, the Ice Fire Divine Dragon Bow appeared in his hand. Four pure white arrows shot out, with the phantom of the Ice Dragon King flashing above them. They shot directly into the slightly open mouths of the two.
Compared to their enormous size, the arrows were not too small, and the Eagle Eye that shimmered with a pale red light and the powerful Spiritual Power were also playing their due role at this moment.
Under Han Li's guidance, the arrows that had pierced their bodies moved upwards and downwards respectively.
The brain and the heart—that's Han Li's goal.
"Seal up"
A deep voice came from his mouth, and the cold ice crystals on the heads and hearts of Da Ming and Er Ming lit up, but they remained in their original positions, unchanged.
No, that's not quite right. The Sky Azure Bull Python's body had already slid towards the lake.
As everyone knows, in the Douluo Continent, apart from spirit-type Soul Beast and Soul Master, as well as the main characters, other Soul Beast and Soul Master are practically useless in this regard, relying purely on natural growth, not to mention those who rely on their physical bodies for survival.
Han Li's Spiritual Power had already undergone a transformation under the catalysis of the Faith Power, and now he was unleashing a full amplification, a Spiritual Power attack five times stronger. If he hadn't restrained himself a bit, both of their heads might have exploded.
Two more beams of pale red light shot out from in front of Han Li, striking the two creatures respectively. Then, the two enormous Soul Beast bounced towards his location.
Fifth Soul Skill: Ricochet Levitation Arrow.
Just as the two beasts were about to land, the Ice Fire Divine Dragon Bow in Han Li's hand disappeared. He stretched out his hands and a gentle Soul Power caught them, slowly lowering them to the ground. The Dragon Catching Crane Control was quite effective.
The ground trembled slightly as Han Li's hands landed on the two objects, enveloping them with his Soul Power. Two enormous blocks of ice replaced their original shapes.
Behind Han Li, the Evil God Hook had already reached out, forcibly compressing the space where the two were, and then forcibly throwing them into a bag.
This is one of the spoils of war, taken from Tang Xiao. It can hold living creatures, but it's obvious it can't fit these two big guys. It can only be compressed and used for now, as long as they don't die. It's also convenient for Dugu Bo to use for transportation.
Behind Han Li, everyone in the Worship Hall stared at his practiced movements, momentarily speechless, wondering if this was not the first time he had done this.
Judging from his actions, he seems like a repeat offender.
Of course, they were also somewhat astonished. Han Li's combat strength was terrifyingly strong, constantly refreshing their understanding.
These were two Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, and the kind with considerable combat power at that. And what happened? They were dealt with in the blink of an eye. If they were the targets, the outcome would probably be the same, or even simpler? The next second, they heard Han Li's voice rang out again.
"Old man, let's go."
Han Li tossed the bag in his hand to Dugu Bo and gave him a wink.
Dugu Bo took the bag from his hand without hesitation, flapped his wings, and sped off back the way he came.
"Humans, you're asking for death!"
"Grand Uncle-Master."
Two voices rang out almost simultaneously.
However, it was clear that the first voice contained boundless anger.
Along with the sound came a figure dressed in a black robe.
The commotion he made revealed his fury; he had practically torn a Space Rift open from the lake, ignoring the backflow of water, and simply emerged.
Not only that, but his appearance was accompanied by a chilling black energy that attacked Dugu Bo in mid-air.
Then, as expected, he was stopped by a figure radiating golden light. Dugu Bo didn't even dare to turn his head. After sensing the energy fluctuations behind him, he increased his flying speed slightly again.
At the forefront, the Evil God Hook behind Han Li glowed faintly, sealing off the surrounding space.
Behind him, several elders of the Spirit Hall were tense, as if they would launch an attack at any moment.
Behind Di Tian, as his attack was blocked, five figures rose from the lake, staring solemnly at the impressive human lineup before them.
"Spirit Hall, are you courting death?"
Di Tian paid no attention to Han Li standing at the front below, but stared at Qian Daoliu in mid-air, who had already unleashed his Martial Soul and intercepted his attack. He spoke slowly and deliberately, his cold killing intent filling the entire area.
In mid-air, Qian Daoliu frowned slightly, but did not answer. Instead, he turned his gaze to Han Li on the ground.
"Beast God Di Tian, I think perhaps you should have a talk with me."
In the tense atmosphere, a calm voice rang out from the front, causing Di Tian to shift his gaze from mid-air to the black-clad youth closest to him.
Only then did he notice that in front of the Martial Soul in the boy's hand, which had concealed its light, hung eight unusual Soul Ring.
