Damn it!

"Sooner or later, I'll make your Golden Earth Dragon Clan perish completely!"

Having suffered such a devastating blow, the Golden Hawksbill Turtle was furious beyond measure.

Its crimson eyes were filled with hatred.

It had already made its plans. Once its strength recovered to the hundred-thousand-year level, it would kill the Golden Earth Dragon King and reclaim the Gold of Life that belonged to it.

It had been too rash before and was nearly killed by the Gold of Life. Over the years beside the Golden Earth Dragon King, it had learned many ways to use the Gold of Life. The Golden Hawksbill Turtle was confident that once it reclaimed the Gold of Life, it could quickly become a two-hundred-thousand-year Fierce Beast.

It had never expected its plan to die before it could even be carried out.

"Great Strength Douluo, what happened up ahead?"

Protected by two Title Douluo, the Star Luo Princess, Xu Jiujiu, who had come to hunt Soul Beasts, heard the disturbance in the distance and instinctively asked.

"Two Soul Beasts were fighting. One of them was severely injured..."

Great Strength Douluo Cheng Gang spread his spiritual power and quickly understood the situation, but his words abruptly stopped the next moment.

That heavily injured Soul Beast was actually a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast.

That meant he could obtain a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone.

Great Strength Douluo Cheng Gang's heart immediately burned with excitement, and he turned to look at Great Hammer Douluo, whose strength was slightly greater than his.

He had noticed it, and so had the other man.

Could he still keep it all for himself?

"Capture it alive. That'll maximize the profits!"

With only a moment of exchanged glances, the two made their decision.

Neither of them had the strength to keep a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast for themselves. It would be better to capture it alive and bring it back. If they offered up a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring and Soul Bone, perhaps each of them could receive a Fifty Thousand Year Soul Bone as a reward. That was the wisest choice.

"You men, protect Her Highness!"

Cheng Gang ordered the guards, then the two rushed toward the Golden Hawksbill Turtle.

"You despicable, shameless, filthy Golden Earth Dragon King!"

Sensing the aura of Title Douluo, the Golden Hawksbill Turtle instantly understood Jiang Heng's intentions and desperately tried to flee.

But its injuries were simply too severe.

At that moment, the Golden Hawksbill Turtle wanted to detonate its Soul Core directly. Even if it died, it would not benefit the humans or Jiang Heng.

But it was simply too afraid of death. Even with danger upon it and nowhere to escape, it still hoped for a miracle.

It was an Auspicious Beast.

How could no one come to save it when it was in danger?

"Still trying to run!"

Looking at the severely injured Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, Cheng Gang immediately used a soul skill to suppress it, his eyes filled with greed.

He craved progress too much. He wanted a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone.

"You restrain it first. I'll activate the Soul Tool and seal it away."

Seeing how easily they had controlled a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, Great Hammer Douluo's eyes were also filled with wild delight.

He had thought there would be a fierce battle, but it had turned out to be so easy.

He then began arranging the Soul Tool he had bought from the black market...

"How can a Fifty Thousand Year Soul Bone compare to a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone?"

Just as Great Hammer Douluo was setting up the Soul Tool, Great Strength Douluo Cheng Gang suddenly launched a sneak attack.

"You..."

Caught completely off guard by the attack, Great Hammer Douluo had no time to react before his heart was pierced through.

"I'll report to the empire that you fought a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast and died a hero's death."

Looking at Great Hammer Douluo's resentful eyes, Cheng Gang smiled and crushed the last of his life force.

At first, he had intended to split the gains with the other man. But the moment he thought of a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone, the greed in his heart became impossible to suppress.

Besides, Great Hammer Douluo also had a Ten Thousand Year Soul Bone of considerable age. Naturally, Cheng Gang chose to take everything.

"Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone, here I come."

After taking Great Hammer Douluo's Soul Bone, Cheng Gang turned his gaze toward the Golden Hawksbill Turtle.

Fearing unforeseen complications if he delayed, he did not hesitate in the slightest. He directly used his ninth soul skill and killed the Golden Hawksbill Turtle.

After all, he still had to arrange a scene where a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast had killed Great Hammer Douluo. Naturally, the faster, the better.

"Not bad. I almost thought I'd messed this up."

Just after Cheng Gang killed the Golden Hawksbill Turtle, Jiang Heng, that scheming bastard, emerged from underground once more and delivered a fatal blow when Cheng Gang was at his most excited and relaxed.

"How... how could this be..."

The Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone had been right before his eyes. He had been about to step onto the path of greatness, only to die like this the next moment.

He was so unwilling!

Jiang Heng stepped forward and took everything valuable from Cheng Gang and the other Title Douluo, then swallowed the Golden Hawksbill Turtle in one bite.

When he had overheard the two Title Douluo planning to capture the Golden Hawksbill Turtle alive, he had nearly been unable to restrain himself from coming out to act personally.

Fortunately, their greed had ultimately driven them apart, allowing him to get what he wanted.

After cleaning everything up, Jiang Heng looked into the distance.

There stood Xu Jiujiu, princess of the Star Luo Empire, along with her guards.

From the moment these people appeared, Jiang Heng had learned their identities through the way they addressed one another. He then thought of another piece of Gold of Life.

It was better to keep such a good thing in his own hands.

His form flashed as Jiang Heng headed toward Xu Jiujiu, carrying his massive body and overwhelming power with him.

"A Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast!"

"Not good! Protect Her Highness, quickly!"

The guards were the first to notice something was wrong, and their expressions changed drastically.

How could it be such a coincidence? The moment their two Title Douluo had left, a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast appeared.

This was only the Mixed Zone.

"Don't wait. The two Title Douluo protecting you are already dead."

Jiang Heng looked at Xu Jiujiu and spoke in a deep voice.

As for the guards attacking him, he swatted them with one palm, instantly killing more than half of them.

"Honorable Golden Earth Dragon King, is there anything Jiujiu can do for you?"

Xu Jiujiu forcibly suppressed the fear in her heart, stepped forward, and spoke.

Judging by his behavior, he did not seem to intend to kill them. Xu Jiujiu could only think this way. To survive, she could only take a gamble.

"You're fairly smart."

"Swear an oath upon your martial soul. Once I let you leave, deliver the Spirit-Devouring Fierce Blade here within one month."

"Of course, you can try playing some tricks. As long as you can bear the consequences."

Jiang Heng spoke in a deep voice, his tone filled with unquestionable dominance.

"I, Xu Jiujiu, swear upon my martial soul that as long as His Excellency the Golden Earth Dragon King is willing to let me leave, I will deliver the Spirit-Devouring Fierce Blade within one month. I will take no other actions. If I violate this oath, may my martial soul shatter and may I die on the spot."

Without any hesitation, Xu Jiujiu hurriedly made the oath.

Although she did not know what this Soul Beast wanted with that carving knife, that was no longer something she could consider.

Seeing that Xu Jiujiu was so sensible, Jiang Heng said nothing more. He then killed every guard and let only her leave.

After doing all this, he returned to his residence and activated Taotie's Devouring Divine Ability, rapidly refining the Golden Hawksbill Turtle's power.
