Ten Thousand Year Unicorn Herd, Unicorn King (Seeking Recommendation Tickets, Seeking Follow-up Reads)

In no time at all, Ye Wuqing and the others arrived at the location of Guangyu Douluo.

This was a pitch-black dense forest, and faint sounds could be heard at the edges of their hearing, interfering with their mental magnetic fields.

Seeing this, Ye Que drew his Angel God Sword half an inch from its scabbard, and the soul beasts lurking in the shadows immediately behaved themselves.

This extreme holy attribute was too terrifying; they dared not look directly at it.

At this moment, Guangyu Douluo was holding a Sonic Bat in his hand, saying, "The attribute is decent, though the age is a bit lacking."

Shangguan Can walked out carrying the Soul-Absorbing Bell and said with a chuckle, "It's fine, it's fine. My soul ring doesn't need to be of a very high age, as long as the attribute suits me. I just need a mental-attribute soul beast to enhance my practical combat ability."

Guangyu Douluo nodded, agreeing that this was a good choice.

He then tossed the Sonic Bat to Shangguan Can, letting him finish off the soul beast himself to obtain his fourth soul ring.

Without a second word, Shangguan Can drew a short-blade soul tool to end the soul beast's life, then sat cross-legged to begin absorbing his fourth soul ring.

Guangyu Douluo turned his head to Ye Que and said, "Young Master, let's set off once he finishes absorbing the ring. However, the soul beast you require is extremely rare; we may encounter some danger if we continue to venture deeper."

Ye Que waved his hand and said, "It is of no concern. I am accustomed to this wandering life."

Guangyu Douluo chuckled and did not press the point about the dangers of this soul hunt.

An hour later, Shangguan Can finished absorbing his fourth soul ring, gaining the fourth soul skill, Mental Control.

This was a very powerful mental control skill; with the assistance of the Soul-Absorbing Bell, if a high-level soul master had weak mental strength, they could be turned into an idiot on the spot.

Shangguan Can was so happy he nearly jumped for joy.

Ye Que patted Shangguan Can on the shoulder and chuckled, "Want to test if my sword is sharp?"

Shangguan Can was eager to try, but sensing a powerful mental force and a threatening aura, he said, "Next time for sure, next time..."

Although the other party was a three-ring soul master, his soul power had already reached level 40.

Even if he himself advanced to four rings, he could not possibly be a match for the god-level martial soul, the Six-Winged Angel.

Did you think "Invincible in the sky, shattering all evil" was just a joke?

"Tell me, Shangguan, why don't you dare to have a go with Ye Que? You're a level 42 control-system battle soul master, after all."

Ye Wuqing leaned in and patted Shangguan Can.

Shangguan Can shot Ye Wuqing a sidelong glance, I advise you to watch yourself, kid. If the Angel Holy Sword pierces your big mouth and gets stuck in your head later, don't come crying to me.

What did he mean by he didn't dare fight the Six-Winged Angel? As if you, kid, would dare?

Why don't you go have a go with the Six-Winged Angel yourself?

"Enough!"

Guangyu Douluo interrupted their banter and continued, "We must set off. Time is tight and the task is heavy; after all, ten-thousand-year soul beasts are extremely difficult to find, and this old man does not wish to spend another night in the Star Dou Forest."

The soul-hunting squad once again headed toward more dangerous territory.

In the blink of an eye, several hours passed. Guangyu Douluo led the squad into a valley within the Star Dou Forest, and after walking for a while, they finally caught the scent of lingering light energy in the air.

Guangyu Douluo said, "It should be a soul beast tribe. Let's go in and take a look."

The group continued forward.

Suddenly, they saw a large group of horse-like soul beasts with single horns on their heads and wings on their backs soaring in the air within the valley ahead.

An aura of holy, light attributes rushed toward them.

Sensing the covetous gazes of Guangyu Douluo and his party, these soul beasts immediately launched an attack, spewing terrifying light-fire from their mouths.

"A Holy Unicorn herd! These are the soul beasts with bloodlines closest to the mounts of angels. With such a large tribe, there must be a Holy Unicorn King."

Guangyu Douluo exclaimed, the Blazing Feather Divine Bow appearing in his hand.

With a sudden burst of strength, he drew a dozen flame arrows and fired them toward the Holy Unicorns.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh—!

The flame-enveloped arrows swallowed the light-fire of the unicorn herd, scattering the un-matured horses.

Immediately following, a dangerous low roar erupted from the depths of the valley, and a massive Holy Unicorn King flew out.

"A twelve-thousand-year Unicorn King!"

Guangyu Douluo was even more pleasantly surprised, drawing his bow again to prepare to shoot the beast king.

At the critical moment, Ye Que grabbed his hand and said, "Senior Guangyu, I wish to challenge this ten-thousand-year soul beast. If I am not its match, you may intervene then."

Guangyu Douluo hesitated.

This was indeed a rare opportunity, but a ten-thousand-year Unicorn King was too dangerous. Even if it wasn't as strong as a ten-thousand-year Dark Gold Dreadclaw Bear, it was equivalent to a thirty-thousand-year soul beast. Could the Young Master withstand it?

After careful consideration, Guangyu Douluo said, "Young Master, be careful. This beast is equivalent to a thirty-thousand-year soul beast. This old servant is ready to act at any moment."

The implication was that Ye Que should go ahead and fight, and if he couldn't win, he had the old man to back him up.

Ye Que gave a grunt of acknowledgment, drew the Angel God Sword, and with the Six-Winged Angel instantly manifesting, he soared into the air.

In an instant, a gale rose and golden light shone.

Wielding the divine sword, Ye Que immediately engaged the Holy Unicorn King in a fierce battle, unleashing soul skills and sword qi in near-instant succession.

"I shall assist you!"

Yu Mengdi gripped her twin holy swords, her angel wings manifesting as she vanished from her spot in the blink of an eye to aid the young master in her heart.

Guangyu Douluo watched this scene with great satisfaction.

The tacit understanding among the descendants of the Angel Clan remained as steadfast as ever; with Xiaomeng being so sensible, her future achievements would surely be significant.

He then turned around, swept a glance at Ye Wuqing and the others, and his expression immediately darkened.

Ye Wuqing and his companions were left completely bewildered.

Had they done something wrong? Why was Teacher Guangyu looking at them like that?

Guangyu Douluo barked, "Are you all just standing there with your mouths open waiting to be fed? Why aren't you going up to help? Do you believe I won't slap you until you're drooling?"

Ye Wuqing understood in an instant; five soul rings emerged from beneath his feet as he was the first to charge out.

Shangguan Can, Tang Xiaolei, Yan'er, and the others followed suit in unison.

In the sky, the battle shifted from a duel between two to a chaotic melee, with several people surrounding and attacking the Holy Unicorn King.

Ye Wuqing and Ye Que were responsible for the main assault, Shangguan Can controlled the field, Yu Mengdi provided auxiliary attacks, and the others stood ready to support.

In an instant, brilliant soul skills lit up one after another, and wave after wave of attacks slammed into the Unicorn King.

The Holy Unicorn King was thoroughly enraged.

A dignified Holy Unicorn, now being pressed until it couldn't catch its breath by a few human brats, all while being suppressed by the bloodline of the Angel martial soul—anyone would find this intolerable.

Suddenly, the beast king let out a roar and abruptly vanished from before them.

The next moment, a vast number of hexagram arrays suddenly appeared in the sky, and light energy—intangible yet brimming with a dangerous aura—erupted.

This light energy transformed into fine, dense blades, each containing the ultimate power of two attributes.

The expressions of Ye Wuqing and the others changed drastically.

Yu Mengdi shouted, "Retreat quickly, this is the Holy Unicorn's area-of-effect attack skill!"
