Today, None of You Can Leave

"Never die, never rest?"

Di Tian repeated the four words, a terrifying ferocious light surging in his golden vertical pupils. Mu En's resolve was like a match, completely igniting his long-suppressed rage. As the ruler of the Star Dou Great Forest, he had endured the nibbling of human soul masters for long enough. Now, they dared to come to his doorstep and utter such wild words. Did they really think he, the Golden-Eyed Black Dragon King, was made of clay?

Bi Ji also fell silent. She looked at Mu En's face, etched with tragedy, and then at Di Tian's taut dragon body. The unease in her heart grew stronger. She knew Mu En's words were not empty talk. Shrek Academy's foundation was unfathomably deep. If they truly tore their faces, even if the Star Dou Great Forest won, they would suffer heavy losses. But at this point, backing down was clearly impossible—Di Tian's pride, and the dignity of the soul beast clan, did not allow them to bow their heads under human threats.

The rain continued to rage, and the atmosphere in the forest was so solemn it felt like it could drip water.

Just then, several powerful auras suddenly rushed from the direction of the Lake of Life, stirring up waves that swept away the accumulated rainwater on the ground.

"Roar!"

A roar filled with violent aura resounded through the forest. A huge Dark Gold Dreadclaw Bear charged out first, none other than Xiong Jun, ranked sixth among the Ten Great Ferocious Beasts.

His body was covered in dark gold fur, each strand standing up like a steel needle. His lantern-sized eyes were crimson like blood, and his sharp bear claws gleamed with a chilling sheen. Just standing there seemed to tear the air apart.

Following closely behind was a man in a purple robe with a feminine face, enveloped in a dense plant aura. He was the Myriad Monster King. Behind him were several figures with equally powerful auras, including Zi Ji, who had transformed into human form, and high-level ferocious beasts retaining some beast features. The soul power fluctuations emanating from each of them were enough to inspire awe in ordinary Title Douluo.

They quickly stood in front of Bi Ji, forming an indestructible barrier. Among the Ten Great Ferocious Beasts, excluding those not in the Star Dou Great Forest, almost all their top combat power was present.

"Level 97... no, it's Level 99!" Yan Shaozhe's face greatly changed, and cold sweat instantly beaded on his forehead.

He could clearly feel that the auras of Xiong Jun and the Myriad Monster King were no weaker than Mu En's, and they even carried a more primal, more rampant sense of oppression. The auras of the other ferocious beasts had also reached Level 97 or above. With such a lineup, let alone them, the elders, even if the entire Shrek Academy went all out, they would likely have to pay a heavy price.

Only then did he understand that the foundation of the Star Dou Great Forest was far more terrifying than they had imagined. Bi Ji's appearance alone earlier was not due to a lack of strength, but because she was not good at fighting—with these ferocious beasts around, even if Di Tian wasn't here, no one could harm her in the slightest.

"Heh heh..." Xiong Jun stretched his thick neck, his knuckles cracking with a "crackling" sound. His crimson eyes were fixed on Mu En and his group, his voice filled with bloodthirsty desire. "I was just thinking of finding an excuse to go stroll around Shrek City, but I didn't expect you guys to deliver yourselves to my doorstep. Do you really think our Star Dou Great Forest is a soft persimmon for you to knead?"

He couldn't stand the arrogant look of humans, especially these so-called prestigious sects. They spoke high-sounding words, but in reality, they were more ruthless than anyone when hunting soul beasts behind closed doors. Today, they had come to their door on their own, which suited him perfectly. It would also let these humans know that soul beasts were not to be trifled with!

The Myriad Monster King gently stroked the vines wrapped around his cuffs, a cold smile on his face. "Mu En, you should know that the Star Dou Great Forest is not a place for you to run wild. Take your people and scram, and we can pretend nothing happened."

Zi Ji crossed her arms, her purple eyes filled with sarcasm. "With just a few of you, you want to fight us to the death? How naive."

Mu En's heart sank to the bottom. He had thought that with Shrek Academy's prestige, they could at least get the other party to sit down and talk, even if it was just pretending to agree, they could buy some time to investigate Beibei's whereabouts.

But looking at the current situation, Di Tian and the others had no intention of giving him this opportunity.

Just as he was pondering a countermeasure, Di Tian suddenly moved.

"There's no point in talking!"

As the icy voice fell, a ball of pitch-black flame condensed in Di Tian's huge dragon maw. The flame seemed to devour all light, emitting a heart-palpitating destructive aura. Before Mu En and the others could react, the Black Dragon Flame, like a black lightning bolt, smashed down towards their location with a sound of breaking air!

"Not good!" Mu En's face greatly changed. Without thinking, he activated the power of the Holy Dragon of Light to the extreme, forming a huge light shield with brilliant golden light in front of him.

"Boom--!"

The moment the Black Dragon Flame collided with the light shield, a deafening roar erupted. The black flames, like maggots on bone, madly gnawed at the golden light shield, emitting a "sizzling" sound. The golden light on the shield dimmed at a visible speed. Mu En felt an immense force surge through him, and he was actually shaken back repeatedly, a trace of blood overflowing from the corner of his mouth.

"Attack!"

Di Tian's dragon roar sounded again, like the horn signaling the general attack.

"Good timing!" Xiong Jun roared, his massive body shooting out like a cannonball. His sharp Dark Gold Dreadclaws whistled as they tore through the air, heading straight for Xuan Zi. He had long found this group of humans unpleasant to the eye, and now that he finally had a chance to act, he naturally wouldn't hold back.

The Myriad Monster King also moved. The vines around his body instantly swelled, transforming into countless green whips that, carrying sharp gusts of wind, entangled several slightly weaker elders. Zi Ji flickered, turning into a purple lightning bolt, her target directly aimed at Yan Shaozhe.

The other ferocious beasts also attacked one after another, various soul skills pouring down like a rainstorm, completely surrounding the elders of Shrek Academy.

"Up!" Mu En roared, forcefully suppressing the churning blood and qi within his body. With nowhere to retreat, they could only fight to the death!

Xuan Zi and the others also reacted, quickly taking their positions according to Shrek Academy's combined attack method. Each released their strongest soul skill, barely resisting the fierce attacks of the ferocious beasts.

For a time, light and darkness intertwined, soul power and beast power collided, and the entire core area of the Star Dou Great Forest was enveloped by rampant energy. The destructive aura of the Black Dragon Flame, the sacred radiance of the Holy Dragon of Light, the tearing power of the Dark Gold Dreadclaws, the entangling technique of plant vines... various powers exploded in the rainy night, tearing huge gullies in the ground. Towering ancient trees were broken in half, letting out pained groans.

Mu En was locked in a fierce struggle with Di Tian. Every collision made his blood and qi churn. He could clearly feel that Di Tian's power was like an endless abyss. No matter how he attacked, he couldn't shake the opponent in the slightest. Instead, his own injuries were worsening.

"Mu En, give up."

Di Tian's voice sounded in his ear, "Today, none of you will be able to leave!"

Mu En coughed out a mouthful of blood, but he still gritted his teeth tightly, his eyes flashing with an unyielding light. He knew he might have been truly wrong. Perhaps Beibei's disappearance was not the work of the Star Dou Great Forest, and perhaps this battle was a misunderstanding from the very beginning.

But now, it was too late to say anything.

Rainwater mixed with blood, dyeing the ground red. Although the elders of Shrek Academy fought back with all their might, they were gradually falling into a disadvantage in the face of the absolute gap in strength. Xuan Zi was forced to retreat repeatedly by the Myriad Monster King, already sustaining several wounds deep enough to see bone.

Yan Shaozhe was suppressed by Zi Ji's speed, only able to barely ensure his self-preservation. Several elderly elders were in even more perilous situations, liable to fall at any moment.

Mu En watched all this, a sense of despair surging in his heart. Could it be that today, he and these pillars of Shrek would truly be buried here?
