Before long, Ye Wuqing and the others arrived where Guangyu Douluo was.
The dense forest was pitch-black. Faint sounds drifted into their ears, disrupting their mental fields.
Seeing this, Ye Que drew his Angel God Sword halfway from its sheath. The Soul Beasts lurking in the shadows immediately settled down.
The sword's extreme holy attribute was terrifying. They didn't dare look at it directly.
At that moment, Guangyu Douluo held a Sonic Bat in one hand and said, "Its attributes are pretty good, but its age is a little low."
Shangguan Can came out holding the Soul-Absorbing Bell and said with a cheerful smile, "It's fine, it's fine. This Soul Ring doesn't need to be all that old. As long as its attributes suit me, that's enough. I just need a Soul Beast with a Mental Attribute to improve my combat ability."
Guangyu Douluo nodded, agreeing that it was a good choice.
He then tossed the Sonic Bat to Shangguan Can, leaving him to deal with the Soul Beast and obtain his fourth Soul Ring.
Without another word, Shangguan Can drew a short-blade Soul Tool and ended the Soul Beast's life. Then he sat cross-legged and began absorbing his fourth Soul Ring.
Guangyu Douluo turned to Ye Que and said, "Young Master, we'll set out once he's finished absorbing his Soul Ring. But the Soul Beast you need is extremely rare. If we go deeper, we may run into some danger."
Ye Que waved a hand. "It's nothing. I'm used to a life of wandering from place to place."
Guangyu Douluo chuckled and said no more about the dangers of this Soul Hunt.
Another hour passed before Shangguan Can finished absorbing his fourth Soul Ring. He gained the fourth Soul Skill, Mental Control.
It was an exceptionally powerful mental control skill. With the Soul-Absorbing Bell's help, even a high-ranking Soul Master with weak mental power 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 how sharp my blade is?"
Shangguan Can was eager to give it a try, but he sensed a powerful mental force and a threatening aura. "Next time for sure. Next time..."
Although Ye Que was only a three-ring Soul Master, his Soul Power had already reached level 40.
Even after advancing to four rings, Shangguan Can still wouldn't stand a chance against a Six-Winged Angel, a god-level Martial Soul.
Did he think "invincible in the sky, shattering evil" was a joke?
"Hey, Shangguan, how come you don't dare fight Ye Que? You're a level 42 Control-Type Battle Spirit Master, after all."
Ye Wuqing came over and patted Shangguan Can.
Shangguan Can shot Ye Wuqing a sidelong glance. I'm warning you, kid, you'd better watch your tail. The Angel Holy Sword might run you through the back and stick out of your head. Don't come bawling about it.
What did he mean, Shangguan didn't dare fight a Six-Winged Angel? Was Ye Wuqing saying he'd dare?
Why didn't he go fight one himself?
"All right!"
Guangyu Douluo cut off their banter and continued, "We should get moving. We have little time and much to do. Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts are incredibly hard to find, and this old man doesn't want to spend another night in Star Dou Forest."
The Soul Hunting team once again headed toward more dangerous territory.
Several hours passed in the blink of an eye. Guangyu Douluo led the team into a valley in Star Dou Forest. After walking for a while, they finally caught the lingering scent of light in the air.
Guangyu Douluo said, "It should be a Soul Beast herd. Let's go in and take a look."
The group continued onward.
In an instant, they saw a vast herd of horse-like Soul Beasts flying through the air ahead in the valley. Each had a horn on its head and a pair of wings on its back.
A holy, radiant aura swept over them.
The Soul Beasts sensed the covetous looks from Guangyu Douluo and his party and immediately attacked, spewing terrifying flames of light from their mouths.
"A herd of Holy Unicorns! These Soul Beasts have bloodlines closest to the Angel Clan's mounts. With a herd this large, there must be a Unicorn King among them."
Guangyu Douluo cried out in surprise, and the Blazing Feather Divine Bow appeared in his hand.
He drew the bow with a sudden pull, sending more than a dozen flaming arrows at the Holy Unicorns.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
The flame-wreathed arrows swallowed the herd's flames of light and scattered the young horses, none of which had reached adulthood.
Just then, a dangerous growl came from the depths of the valley. A mighty Holy Unicorn King flew out.
"A twelve-thousand-year-old Unicorn King!"
Guangyu Douluo was even more delighted. He drew his bow again, ready to shoot the Beast King.
At the crucial moment, Ye Que grabbed his hand and said, "Senior Guangyu, I want to challenge this Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beast. Wait until I'm outmatched before you step in."
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 the Ten-Thousand-Year Dark Gold Dreadclaw Bear, it was still equivalent to a Soul Beast of around thirty thousand years. Could the young master withstand it?
After weighing it carefully, Guangyu Douluo said, "Be careful, Young Master. This beast is equivalent to a thirty-thousand-year Soul Beast. I'll be ready to step in at any moment."
What he meant was that Ye Que could fight to his heart's content. If he was outmatched, the old man would have his back.
Ye Que gave a quiet "Mm," drew the Angel God Sword, and instantly manifested his Angel Six Wings. He shot into the sky.
In an instant, fierce winds rose and golden light blazed.
With the Divine Sword in hand, Ye Que immediately engaged the Holy Unicorn King in a fierce battle, unleashing Soul Skills and sword energy almost instantaneously.
"I'll help you!"
Yumengdi gripped the Holy Dual Swords and manifested her Angel wings. In the blink of an eye, she vanished from where she stood, rushing to aid the young master she held dear.
Guangyu Douluo watched the scene with satisfaction.
The descendants of the Angel Clan still had the same understanding as ever. Xiao Meng was quick to catch on; she'd go far.
He turned around and glanced at Ye Wuqing and the others. His expression immediately darkened.
Ye Wuqing and the others looked utterly bewildered.
Had they done something wrong? Why was Teacher Guangyu looking at them like that?
Guangyu Douluo barked, "Are you all waiting with your mouths open for someone to feed you? Get up there and help! Or should I slap you so hard you start drooling?"
Ye Wuqing understood at once. Five Soul Rings appeared beneath his feet, and he charged in first.
Shangguan Can, Tang Xiaolei, Yan'er, and the others followed close behind.
In the sky, the battle that had begun with two people became a chaotic melee, with several of them joining forces against the Holy Unicorn King.
Ye Wuqing and Ye Que led the attack, Shangguan Can controlled the battlefield, Yu Mengdi provided support, and the others stood ready to assist.
In an instant, dazzling Soul Skills lit up one after another. Wave upon wave of attacks slammed into the Unicorn King.
The Holy Unicorn King was thoroughly enraged.
It was a mighty Holy Unicorn, yet a handful of human brats had it gasping for breath—and to make matters worse, the Angel Martial Soul bloodline suppressed it. Who could stand for that?
Suddenly, the Beast King roared and vanished from sight.
The next moment, a vast number of hexagram arrays appeared in the sky. An intangible, invisible force of light erupted, brimming with danger.
That force of light became a dense flurry of leaves, each containing the extreme power of two attributes.
Ye Wuqing and the others' expressions changed dramatically.
Yu Mengdi shouted, "Fall back! This is the Holy Unicorn's area-of-effect attack!"
