Ghost Leopard

When Luo Yan left the Great Soul Fighting Arena, he told You Chunping that he might not come by for the next few days.

Having spent these past few days frantically harvesting resentment points, he could already sense that the audience was developing a slight resistance to his words.

He needed to wait a few days for things to cool down.

Otherwise, if he kept harvesting them continuously, they would likely become completely immune in another two days.

After leaving the Suotuo City Great Soul Fighting Arena, Luo Yan took Xiao Wu for another aimless stroll before finally returning to the hotel with her.

Zhu Zhuqing had already been taken to the Star Dou Great Forest by Da Ming and Er Ming, so only the two of them remained in the hotel now.

Luo Yan took the opportunity to provide some guidance on Xiao Wu's cultivation.

On the other side, Da Ming and his group, who had set out in the morning, returned to the Star Dou Great Forest as the sky gradually darkened.

Upon arriving at the outer perimeter of the Star Dou Great Forest, Da Ming set Er Ming and Zhu Zhuqing down and transformed back into his human form.

"Er Ming, go and capture those two Ghost Leopards."

"One should have just broken through the three-thousand-year limit, and the other just reached ten thousand years three years ago; they are perfect for sister-in-law!"

On the way back, Da Ming had been thinking about which soul beast to hunt for Zhu Zhuqing.

Having lived in the Star Dou Great Forest for so many years, he had a certain understanding of most of the soul beasts within it.

The Ghost Leopards he mentioned were entrenched on a hillside not far from the Life Lake.

He had dealt with them before he became a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast; at that time, the Ghost Leopards would occasionally harass them by utilizing their speed advantage, which led to quite a few conflicts.

Da Ming intended to take the opportunity to finish them off this time.

"Da Ming, the backer of those two Ghost Leopards is Chi Wang. If we capture them, will it..."

Hearing Da Ming's words, Er Ming hesitated slightly.

Er Ming didn't really care about the strength of those two Ghost Leopards.

What he cared about was Chi Wang, who stood behind them.

Back when they became Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts, they had gone to find him to seek revenge.

However, Chi Wang had warned them at that time not to trouble the Ghost Leopards again.

Of course, the Ghost Leopards had also offered quite a few tributes as compensation.

"What are you afraid of? I don't believe Chi Wang would come to the human world to cause trouble for us over a mere two Ghost Leopards!"

"In a while, it will be hard to say whether Chi Wang will even be a match for us!"

Da Ming had originally been somewhat wary of Chi Wang and the other fierce beasts.

But now that they were following Luo Yan, they were no longer soul beasts in the traditional sense. With the Myriad Demon Art, their cultivation was no longer as slow as before, and they were no longer restricted by the rules of the world.

In a while, it wouldn't be certain who would be afraid of whom.

Hearing Da Ming's words, Er Ming remembered that he was no longer a soul beast, so he didn't hesitate any longer: "Alright, I'll listen to you!"

"Sister-in-law, wait here for a moment, I'll be right back!"

After saying this to Zhu Zhuqing, he turned and left.

Zhu Zhuqing stood to the side, quietly listening to the conversation between the two brothers.

Hearing Da Ming and Er Ming address her as sister-in-law, a trace of secret joy inexplicably arose in her heart.

Zhu Zhuqing was very confused about the Ghost Leopards and Chi Wang, but she didn't say anything; she trusted that the people Luo Yan entrusted her to would not make a mistake.

She only wanted to wait for Da Ming and Er Ming to help her hunt a soul beast and then absorb the soul ring.

"Luo Yan, I will absolutely not let you down!"

Regarding Luo Yan's instruction for her to absorb a three-thousand-year third soul ring, Zhu Zhuqing was actually still a bit nervous inside.

Not long after, a roar echoed from the depths of the Star Dou Great Forest.

Hearing this roar, Da Ming frowned.

Because this was the cry for help from a Ghost Leopard; it must have been emitted by the ten-thousand-year leopard after Er Ming made his move.

He and Er Ming, working together, might be able to contend with Chi Wang for a while.

But Chi Wang was not alone; he had many followers by his side.

As such, they could not stay in the Star Dou Great Forest for long, otherwise, they might not be able to protect Zhu Zhuqing once Chi Wang brought his people out from the core area.

Thinking of this, Da Ming transformed back into his original form.

"Sister-in-law, Er Ming should be done over there. Get on, and I'll take you two out of the Star Dou Great Forest first!"

"That guy Chi Wang is a Three-Headed Red Demon Mastiff over three hundred thousand years old. We can't beat him yet, so we can only avoid his edge for now!"

He signaled for Zhu Zhuqing to return to the top of his head, intending to run as soon as Er Ming returned.

As long as they left the Star Dou Great Forest, Chi Wang would definitely not dare to follow them out to cause trouble.

Zhu Zhuqing did not refuse and leaped back onto Da Ming's head.

The two of them waited quietly for Er Ming to return.

Da Ming was not particularly worried about Er Ming's safety.

Unless that group of fierce beasts deep in the forest had set an ambush in advance, there was no soul beast in the entire Star Dou Great Forest capable of threatening Er Ming.

Boom! Boom!

After a while, Da Ming felt the earth shaking continuously, followed by Er Ming's aura drawing ever closer.

There was no sign of any other Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast's aura behind Er Ming.

Seeing this, Da Ming breathed a sigh of relief.

"Da Ming, we need to run! That guy Chi Wang is probably coming out!"

From far away, Er Ming, in his true form as the Titan Giant Ape, shouted immediately upon seeing Da Ming.

In each of his two hands, he clutched a black mass; looking closely, they were two black soul beasts, the very Ghost Leopards Da Ming had just mentioned.

At this moment, the limbs of both Ghost Leopards had been broken, and their jaws had been shattered.

Although they were still in decent condition, they were unable to escape or make a sound.

Upon reaching Da Ming's side, Er Ming struck the two Ghost Leopards with two more punches, knocking them unconscious.

He then transformed into his human form and brought the two Ghost Leopards over to Da Ming.

Before Er Ming could say anything more, Da Ming took flight, dove into the clouds, and sped away.

"Roar!"

Not long after the three of them left, a soul beast over five meters long and extremely robust arrived at their original location.

It resembled a lion but possessed three identical, massive heads, each over a meter in diameter, with terrifying canine teeth radiating a crimson-gold luster.

It was none other than Chi Wang, the Three-Headed Red Demon Mastiff, one of the ten great fierce beasts of the Star Dou Great Forest.

"Damn that Titan Giant Ape!"

From the aura left at the scene, Chi Wang knew that it was Er Ming who had attacked the Ghost Leopards.

Gazing in the direction where Da Ming and Er Ming had vanished, Chi Wang unleashed a tyrannical aura, causing the soul beasts within a five-hundred-meter radius to tremble in fear.

The Ghost Leopards were among his favorite concubines.

To have them taken away by Er Ming like this filled him with immense rage.

However, just as Da Ming had predicted, he did not follow Er Ming's aura out of the Star Dou Great Forest.

"Roar!"

Finally, after Er Ming's aura had completely dissipated, Chi Wang, who had been standing in place, let out a roar before turning back toward the forbidden zone of the Lake of Life.

On the other side.

After Da Ming brought Er Ming and Zhu Zhuqing out of the Star Dou Great Forest, they did not head directly back to Suotuo City.

The two demons and the human arrived at a desolate, uninhabited area.

Sensing that Chi Wang had not followed their trail, Da Ming decided to stop for the time being.

Descending from the high altitude to the ground, he set Zhu Zhuqing and the others down.
