Wrath of Scarlet King

As the dizziness faded, Zhang Lexuan's First, Second, Third, and Fourth Soul Rings lit up around her simultaneously.

In midair, the full moon flashed, and a beam of moonlight as thick as a water barrel shot out. It collided with the massive pillar of fire spewed by the Three-headed Crimson Demon Mastiff, scattering a rain of flames.

"Have a taste of this old lady's Golden Crow True Fire!" A crisp cry suddenly rang out as the golden-red flaming wings behind Wu Ming spread wide.

"Second Soul Skill, Golden Crow True Fire, ignite!"

Wu Ming raised her right hand, and her Second Soul Ring immediately lit up. A cluster of golden-red flames danced in her palm. The next instant, intense golden-red fire was already burning around her body.

"Second Soul Skill, Light Spirit Wind!"

Wu Xuan stood where he was, raising one hand high. The purple Soul Rings around him shone, as though even the breeze had begun to move with their rhythm.

Immediately afterward, the purple Third Soul Ring around Wu Ming, who was charging toward the Three-headed Crimson Demon Mastiff, lit up as well. The fiercely burning Golden Crow True Fire dyed the nearby space golden-red.

"Third Soul Skill, Golden Crow True Fire Explosion!"

With the gentle breeze clinging to her, Wu Ming's speed suddenly soared. She shot forward like an arrow loosed from the bow, reaching the Three-headed Crimson Demon Mastiff's side in the blink of an eye.

Held back by Zhang Lexuan's Moonray, the Three-headed Crimson Demon Mastiff had no time to spare for the others.

The flames erupted, and the scorching Golden Crow True Fire wrapped tightly around the Three-headed Crimson Demon Mastiff's body. The flames seemed alive as they danced over its thick fur, which possessed extremely strong resistance to fire.

Lightning surged around Chu Qingtian. When they looked at him again, he had silently appeared at the Three-headed Crimson Demon Mastiff's side. Suddenly, he raised his head, a sharp glint flashing through his eyes.

"Sixth Soul Skill, Swift Electric Claw!"

Chu Qingtian roared as he swung a lightning claw as large as a fan forward. Accompanied by a piercing sonic boom, it seemed to rip through the air before savagely tearing open the Three-headed Crimson Demon Mastiff's thick hide. Blood gushed out in great torrents like a fountain.

The Three-headed Crimson Demon Mastiff let out a miserable howl. Its body suddenly shuddered, and a powerful aura erupted from within. Vast amounts of dark-red molten flames rose up, falling like a meteor shower of fire as they rushed toward the two of them.

The intense heat and corrosiveness of the magma forced Wu Ming and Chu Qingtian to retreat again and again. Clearly, the Three-headed Crimson Demon Mastiff had begun fighting for its life.

"Fourth Soul Skill, Soul Scattering Wind!"

Wu Xuan's black Fourth Soul Ring suddenly lit up. An inky-black hurricane burst from his palm, the gathered black wind carrying a faint, piercing howl that felt deeply eerie.

With a fierce swing from Wu Xuan, the black wind vanished into the Three-headed Crimson Demon Mastiff's body in an instant like a ray of light.

The meteor shower of fire abruptly dissipated. The Three-headed Crimson Demon Mastiff leaped up in terror, panic flooding its heart. It could feel its Soul Power instantly bottoming out. What little remained was still vanishing at an astonishing speed.

The Three-headed Crimson Demon Mastiff's terrified roar rang through the skies, for this bizarre attack was completely beyond its comprehension.

On the other side, Zhang Lexuan naturally would not miss such an opportunity.

Her Sixth Soul Ring suddenly lit up. The black Soul Ring instantly rose into the sky and merged with the full moon.

"Sixth Soul Skill, Undying!"

The full moon changed. The originally silver-white moon suddenly dimmed, then turned completely black, with only a ring of silver light around its outer edge.

Then, a silver halo descended from the sky. Black light flashed, and it landed upon the Three-headed Crimson Demon Mastiff's broad back.

In the next instant, amid a terrifying explosion, the Three-headed Crimson Demon Mastiff was blasted over. Its massive body flew out, its aura becoming far weaker as large patches of its fur were scorched black.

A Fifty Thousand Year Three-headed Crimson Demon Mastiff possessed strength absolutely comparable to a peak Soul Douluo, yet it still appeared so fragile in the hands of Zhang Lexuan and the others.

Strike while he was sick and take his life. Wu Xuan and the others would not give the Three-headed Crimson Demon Mastiff any chance to catch its breath.

Elsewhere, a scarlet figure hovered in midair, leisurely watching a golden figure in the distance chase after a Bright Unicorn.

They were Scarlet King, one of the Ten Great Fierce Beasts, and the Auspicious Beast, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion.

"Roar—!" An incomparably familiar, sorrowful, and grief-stricken howl made Scarlet King jolt.

"Th-this is a junior of my clan. Who has such audacity as to attack my Crimson Demon Mastiff Clan in the Core Zone? They truly have the gall of a dog. They deserve death." Scarlet King's eyes widened in rage as flames burst from his body. He shot toward the source of the miserable cries.

The Auspicious Beast on the ground stared in confusion. After she froze for a moment, the Bright Unicorn that had nearly been captured darted away. The Three-Eyed Golden Lion roared in frustration, her claws wildly scratching at the ground. Seeing that Scarlet King did not even acknowledge her, she angrily chased after him as well.

At this moment, the Three-headed Crimson Demon Mastiff under everyone's siege had dull eyes. Great gushes of blood sprayed from its body like fountains. It was clearly not far from death.

"Ming'er." Zhang Lexuan called out sharply.

Understanding her meaning, Wu Ming flapped the golden-red flaming wings behind her and dove down.

Her First Soul Ring lit up, and a golden-red pillar of fire erupted from her palm, blasting toward the tottering Three-headed Crimson Demon Mastiff and completely extinguishing its life force.

Specks of black light gathered above the Three-headed Crimson Demon Mastiff's corpse, eventually forming a deep black Soul Ring.

Oppressive Soul Power fluctuations spilled from it, carrying wave after wave of fierce might.

This Fifty Thousand Year Three-headed Crimson Demon Mastiff had fallen.

"There's no time to lose. Ming'er, quickly absorb the Soul Ring now. We'll guard you." Zhang Lexuan stepped forward and said.

"Thank you, Senior Disciple Sister!" After thanking her, Wu Ming excitedly began fusing with the seventh Soul Ring of her life.

Obtaining a Soul Ring and advancing to the next title was something worth celebrating for any soul master.

Even with Xuan Zi secretly accompanying them, Zhang Lexuan did not dare relax for even a moment within the Core Zone of the Star Dou Great Forest.

"A soul beast is coming! This one has a very powerful aura! No, this aura is terrifyingly strong." Wu Xuan suddenly stood up and stared toward the distant horizon.

"Elder Xuan! Come out already, stop drinking! This soul beast is at least a Hundred Thousand Year. If it attacks us, we're done for." Wu Xuan shouted loudly behind him.

Seeing Wu Xuan's grave expression, Zhang Lexuan and Chu Qingtian hurriedly stood up and guarded Wu Ming. Wu Ming had only just entered the Soul Ring absorption stage, and she still had a long way to go before fully absorbing it.

"Damned humans, you dared enter the Core Zone and kill a junior of my clan. Die!" Scarlet King looked at the corpse of his junior below. A deep roar burst from all three of Scarlet King's massive heads at once, while dense dark-red light erupted from his body.

His three heads seemed to have swollen by a full circle, carrying the stench of mountains of corpses and seas of blood as they rushed straight toward the four of them.

"Scarlet King! Looks like this old dog no longer wants to live. You dare attack Shrek students?" Having received Wu Xuan's warning, Xuan Zi shot into the sky and let out an enraged roar. He revealed his Godly Taotie Bull true form as the two great powerhouses collided head-on.

The result was beyond doubt. Before Xuan Zi's overwhelming strength, even Scarlet King, a Fierce Beast, could only barely protect himself as he was forced back step by step.

However, aside from Xuan Zi's full-force strike in his rage, both he and Scarlet King held back. With their strength, fighting with all their might would absolutely be a disaster for the Star Dou Great Forest. This was something neither of them wished to see, including Xuan Zi.

Kill Scarlet King's clansman, lure out Scarlet King, then lure out the Three-Eyed Golden Lion. Mm, perfectly reasonable!!

In this book, Extreme Wind means annihilation—the destructive force that blows away everything in the world.
