Three Together Still Couldn't Beat Him

"Big Sis Little Wu."

Elsewhere, the Titan Giant Ape that had crushed Tang San and the others with a single blow was now like an obedient child, lowering its head before the girl who was not even as big as its head as it spoke in a muffled voice.

"Er Ming, honestly, you scared them all."

With her hands on her hips, Little Wu lightly poked the Titan Giant Ape's head twice, pretending to be angry.

"Also, why did you try to kill Zhuqing just now?"

When the Titan Giant Ape did not answer, Little Wu continued questioning it, though her voice had turned somewhat cold this time.

That blow from the Titan Giant Ape had absolutely been intended to kill!

"That girl... has a Soul Bone on her."

"A Soul Bone?"

The Titan Giant Ape's words stunned Little Wu. Zhu Zhuqing had a Soul Bone?

"And it's seventy thousand years old."

"Seventy thousand years?!"

Little Wu immediately cried out in shock. Zhu Zhuqing had a seventy-thousand-year Soul Bone?

"That can't be right... Zhuqing is only over level thirty. There's no way she could kill a seventy-thousand-year Soul Beast, right?"

"That person called Danheng!"

After a moment, Little Wu thought of Danheng.

That guy had sent Er Ming flying with a single strike. His strength probably far surpassed that of an ordinary Titled Douluo, so killing a seventy-thousand-year Soul Beast would naturally be no problem.

Moreover, when Danheng sent Er Ming flying, he had not even summoned his martial soul. Wait...

A Titled Douluo?

Little Wu's expression instantly became extremely grim. Danheng possessed power far beyond that of an ordinary Titled Douluo. Didn't that mean he had known she was a Soul Beast from the moment he first saw her?

But why had he not killed her?

With Danheng's strength, killing her for her Soul Ring and Soul Bone would have been effortless.

Could it be that his Soul Rings and Soul Bones are already full? But he could still kill me for his descendants to use, couldn't he?

Or does he not have any descendants yet?

Countless thoughts flashed through Little Wu's mind, but she still could not understand why Danheng had spared her.

"Big Sis Little Wu, that human is very strong."

At that moment, the Titan Giant Ape spoke, and its voice was filled with wariness and gravity.

"Very strong? So strong that even Da Ming wouldn't be his match?"

It was the first time Little Wu had seen Er Ming display such helplessness, and she could not help asking.

The Titan Giant Ape shook its enormous head and spoke faintly.

"Even if the three of us were tied together, we still couldn't beat him."

Little Wu fell silent. After sighing, the Titan Giant Ape raised the arm that Danheng had struck toward her.

The arm was covered in wounds sliced open by wind blades, but the injuries had only remained on the surface. Even the worst of them had not damaged anything vital.

"That was probably just a casual strike, and he didn't use much strength. Otherwise, this arm of mine would be gone."

The Titan Giant Ape had chosen to leave because, first, it knew it was no match for Danheng, and second, it had sensed that Danheng did not seem to intend to kill it, which puzzled it.

"...Big Sis Little Wu, you should have reached the level of a level-thirty Soul Elder in the human world, right? How about taking this chance to condense a Soul Ring?"

Seeing that Little Wu remained silent, the Titan Giant Ape cautiously asked.

"Oh? Right, I'll condense my third Soul Ring here."

"Er Ming, once I've condensed my third Soul Ring, I have to go back. Third Brother will be very worried."

Setting aside her other thoughts, Little Wu sat down cross-legged and began condensing her third Soul Ring. Meanwhile, the Titan Giant Ape recalled the Third Brother Little Wu had mentioned.

When it took Little Wu away, that guy had seemed to use something to try to attack its eyeball.

But it had been far too weak. It merely closed its eye, and the object he threw had bounced away.

"Human... why did you spare us?"

Only after Little Wu entered her meditative state did the Titan Giant Ape turn around and ask Danheng, who stood atop a tree.

It also could not understand why Danheng had not killed it and Little Wu.

Didn't human Soul Masters all covet their Soul Rings and Soul Bones?

"There's no particular reason. If I have to give one, it's that I'm a little curious about your story."

Danheng spread his hands. If those Soul Beasts left after taking a beating from him, then no Soul Beasts would die by his hand.

Why would he kill Soul Beasts?

Soul Rings? He did not rely on those things to cultivate. What use did he have for Soul Rings?

Soul Bones? Why would he want something he could crush directly with a little force? At most, they could be given away as favors!

If he really had to collect them, keeping one to bring back to the train as a specimen would be enough.

Sell them for money?

Well, that...

He did indeed need money.

But making money solely by killing Soul Beasts somehow did not seem very right.

He also did not know why those Soul Beasts insisted on being so stubborn, especially that Moonshadow Direwolf.

He had stabbed it three times, yet it still dared to come back. If it did not die, who would?

Or perhaps, in the minds of those Soul Beasts, humans were simply mortal enemies, and it was either kill or be killed.

"You do seem different."

The Titan Giant Ape's brain froze for quite some time before it finally managed to utter those words.

Interested in the story between it and Big Sis Little Wu? This human was really strange.

Besides, it and Little Wu were both Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts. Wasn't it normal for them to stick together?

If they did not band together for warmth, those humans would find it even easier to hunt them.

"But is it really alright for this little girl to walk around in the outside world like this? Aren't you afraid humans will discover her?"

"..."

The Titan Giant Ape fell silent. It was considering whether to answer Danheng truthfully.

A powerhouse at the level of a Titled Douluo actually did not know something like this?

Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts taking human form had happened before, and it would surely have been recorded by humans. Yet this terrifyingly powerful man did not even know that?

"...Only people with sufficiently powerful strength can see through the human forms of us Soul Beasts."

In the end, the Titan Giant Ape decided to tell him the truth. After all, it was facing a human who could kill it at any time.

"That makes sense."

Danheng nodded, then moved closer to inspect Little Wu, who was condensing her Soul Ring. It looked somewhat different from when humans absorbed Soul Rings.

"I'm leaving."

"Hm?"

Seeing Danheng toss out those words and prepare to leave, the Titan Giant Ape froze for a moment.

"What, do you want to exchange a few moves with me? I don't mind."

Danheng cracked his knuckles. He had fought Titled Douluos before, but he had not yet tried fighting a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast!

Earlier, he had seen that the other party seemed afraid of him and felt that a real fight would not be very interesting, so he had decided to leave.

"No, no need. Big Sis Little Wu is still here. It wouldn't be appropriate."

The Titan Giant Ape shook its head repeatedly, its gaze toward Little Wu full of reluctance.

Their reunion had still been too short.

"The Soul Bone on that girl was given to her by me. If you want revenge, come find me."

Before leaving, Danheng suddenly remembered this matter. Without looking back, he said it and headed into the distance.

"...What's the difference between coming to find you and seeking death?"

The Titan Giant Ape had never imagined that, as the mighty overlord of the Star Dou Great Forest, it would one day be threatened by someone.

"I should go take a look at Heaven Dou City."

Since he had already encountered Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts, Danheng had no plans to remain in the Star Dou Great Forest any longer.
