"Everyone, pay attention, prepare to retreat. Try not to cause any disturbances." Teacher Zhao's expression was grave; the roar from just a moment ago had caused even his own soul power to fluctuate.

"Teacher Zhao, a big guy is getting closer and closer to us." Tang San activated his Purple Demon Eye and saw the Titan Giant Ape, which looked like a small mountain, approaching them.

"It's the Titan Giant Ape." Tang San spat out the name of this soul beast with great difficulty. The Titan Giant Ape was inherently a top-tier soul beast, a relic from ancient times. Legend had it that it possessed the bloodline of the ancient god Titan. Among soul beasts of the same age, it was considered invincible. And Tang San had never heard of a second Titan Giant Ape in the Star Dou Great Forest. That meant it must be the King of the Forest.

"Teacher Zhao, let's retreat quickly. We can't wait any longer." Tang San shouted anxiously.

"Jiang Siming, take everyone and retreat. I will cover the rear." Teacher Zhao released his martial soul, his face showing a look of struggle, yet his eyes were filled with determination.

"Teacher Zhao!" everyone shouted in unison. Their eye sockets were already slightly red, and tears couldn't stop welling up in their eyes.

"I'm not dead yet! Jiang Siming! Go!" Teacher Zhao roared again.

"Everyone, hurry up and leave. If you stay here, you'll only be wasting Teacher Zhao's good intentions," Jiang Siming said calmly.

"Jiang Siming, do you know what you're saying!" Dai Mubai flared up at Jiang Siming for the first time.

"I'll say it again! You all leave quickly!" Jiang Siming said just as loudly.

"It's too late!" Tang San said in a low voice.

The massive body of the Titan Giant Ape was already within reach.

Teacher Zhao's seventh soul ring lit up directly, and he turned his head to roar again, "Go!"

Immediately, he transformed into the Vajra Bear and roared angrily at the Titan Giant Ape.

Tang San and the others looked at the towering figure of the Titan Giant Ape, and a sense of powerlessness suddenly rose in their hearts.

"Let's go! Don't let Teacher Zhao sacrifice himself in vain." Dai Mubai also compromised. In such a situation, it was either one person dies, or a group of people die.

Everyone retreated one after another, and Jiang Siming followed them, his eyes occasionally sweeping toward Xiao Wu, who wore a worried expression.

Teacher Zhao's Avatar of the Martial Soul was several zhang high, but compared to the Titan Giant Ape, it was truly like a dwarf standing before a giant.

Seeing this, Teacher Zhao struck out with a palm, and his soul power transformed into a giant handprint that rushed straight toward the Titan Giant Ape.

The Titan Giant Ape felt the provocation of a similar aura and roared in anger as well, swatting out with a paw. Teacher Zhao's soul power handprint was directly blasted away.

With a "boom," Teacher Zhao was slammed directly into the ground, and the surrounding trees were scraped down by the powerful shockwave, some even being uprooted. Teacher Zhao's life or death was unknown.

The Titan Giant Ape ignored Teacher Zhao and moved quickly toward the Shrek Seven Devils.

Seeing that they were about to be caught, Jiang Siming finally released his martial soul. Three peerless fierce swords were unsheathed, flashing with cold light. He used his soul power to control the swords.

"Evil Aura" and "God of Slaughter Possession" were both activated. His third soul ring also lit up. "Prison" was launched.

Everyone felt their strength decline, falling below seventy percent of their peak. The 50% reduction in all attributes from "Prison" greatly restricted their combat power. Although it also affected their escape speed, Jiang Siming had no time to hesitate now. Jiang Siming wanted to see if he had any leverage to complete this check-in.

"One Sword Separates the World," Jiang Siming's only offensive soul skill. Three massive sword auras headed straight for the Titan Giant Ape.

The Titan Giant Ape was also confused at this moment. It had just suddenly felt its strength decline, and now three powerful sword auras had suddenly rushed out, making even it feel threatened, though not fatally so.

The Titan Giant Ape placed its thick right arm in front of its chest, and a layer of rock-like substance formed on its massive arm. It intended to block the three sword auras; as a top-tier hundred-thousand-year soul beast, its defensive power was terrifying.

Of the three sword auras, the one from the Juexian Sword was the sharpest, leaving the deepest wound. But the key lay in the other two immortal swords.

The Titan Giant Ape let out a roar. Although it had only suffered some superficial wounds, a dignified hundred-thousand-year soul beast had actually been injured by a tiny human soul master; it was too shameful for a beast.

What was even more infuriating was that the power of slaughter attached to Jiang Siming's Luxian Sword made it feel very uncomfortable. The Xianxian Sword made the memories in the Titan Giant Ape's mind regarding the death of Xiao Wu's mother and Xiao Wu's departure become increasingly vivid.

The Titan Giant Ape no longer cared what was in front of it. It arrived in front of the Shrek Seven Devils at top speed and snatched Xiao Wu away.

Then came Tang San's heart-wrenching roar.

Jiang Siming looked at the current situation helplessly. Although he had long known that the result would inevitably be like this, he still couldn't bear to see Tang San in such pain.

"You stay here, I'll go after her." Jiang Siming blurted out before turning to chase after them.

Zhu Zhuqing saw this and, worried for Jiang Siming's safety, wanted to follow as well, but was stopped by Tang San.

"Zhuqing, this matter has nothing to do with you. I can go alone," Tang San said resolutely.

"Tang San, we are a whole. If you say something like that again! I will! I will!" Dai Mubai said angrily, grabbing Tang San by the collar.

At this moment, on Jiang Siming's side.

Jiang Siming finally decided to give it a try. After all, he was Xiao Wu's friend, and there was a thirty percent chance that Daming and Erming wouldn't kill him. Of course, there was another seventy percent chance that they would kill Jiang Siming to hide Xiao Wu's identity. Naturally, this was an idealized probability; if one factored in the relationship between Jiang Siming and Tang San, the probability of Jiang Siming not dying could be increased by another fifty percent. Of course, if one added the risk of bringing up the Lake of Life, that would be a different matter. In the event that all these things succeeded, the attitude of the Beast God Di Tian would be the final hurdle.

Of course, if one of Jiang Siming's guesses was correct, perhaps the probability would be greatly increased. There was no such thing as a risk-free endeavor. Wealth is sought in danger.

Chapter 24: The Hope of a Successful Check-in

Erming's massive body carved a huge path through the forest, and the fierce aura of Erming, the King of the Forest, kept other soul beasts from approaching. This also provided great convenience for Jiang Siming.

Jiang Siming followed the trail and chased after them. The Star Dou Great Forest was simply too large, and Jiang Siming chased with all his might, constantly going all out and using his second soul skill to increase his speed. Otherwise, if Xiao Wu condensed her soul ring and returned, he would have no chance.

Two hours later, Jiang Siming was exhausted to the point of death, but he finally arrived at the nameless lake where Daming and Erming lived.

Just as Jiang Siming stopped, a massive figure broke through the calm surface of the lake.

It had the head of a bull and the body of a python; the scales on its body emitted a golden fluorescence, and the patterns on its bull horns radiated a mysterious color. Two copper-bell-like eyes stared straight at Jiang Siming.

"Human, this is not a place you should come to. Leave quickly, and I will spare your life," a majestic and cold voice issued from the mouth of the Tianqing Python.

Jiang Siming took a deep breath, feeling the powerful pressure, and a sense of powerlessness couldn't help but rise deep within his heart.

But he was only stunned for a moment before he regained his spirit. As a man with a system, Jiang Siming would sooner or later become the top powerhouse on the continent.
