Faced with the terrifying gravity crushing in from all sides, Huang Yan merely let out a disdainful sneer.

"Crush me?

Sorry, I have no intention of wasting any more time with a stupid bear like you."

The instant the words left his mouth, a horrifying killing intent flashed through Huang Yan's eyes.

His First and Second Spirit Rings lit up at the same time.

The golden flames that had filled the sky abruptly contracted.

He frantically compressed the true Ultimate Fire.

At last, it gathered at his fingertips into a tiny golden point, no bigger than a soybean, yet bright enough to sting the eyes.

"Die."

Huang Yan flicked his finger.

The golden point tore through the gravity field in an instant.

It transformed into a death ray almost impossible to see with the naked eye, shooting straight toward Zhao Wuji's forehead!

"Not good!"

Every hair on Zhao Wuji's body stood on end. An unprecedented sense of mortal danger clamped around his heart.

But he had just thrown everything into activating his Fifth Soul Skill. His strength had been spent, and his new power had yet to rise.

There was no time to dodge!

At that critical moment,

Tang San, who had been watching from below, saw purple light blaze in his eyes.

With the minute perception of his Purple Demon Eye, he instantly saw the terrifying trajectory of the attack and raised his arm without hesitation.

"Whoosh—!"

A Silent Sleeve Arrow shot through the air. Its target, however, wasn't Huang Yan above. It sped straight toward Zhao Wuji's waist!

"Thwack!"

The arrow struck the soft flesh of Zhao Wuji's waist with pinpoint accuracy.

"Gah!"

The pain made Zhao Wuji's burly body jerk instinctively to the side.

That nearly imperceptible shift let him narrowly escape having his head blown apart on the spot.

Even so, the tightly concentrated golden ray still grazed his right arm!

"Boom—!"

Although it had only scraped his skin, the peerless Ultimate Fire erupted at once, setting Zhao Wuji's entire right arm ablaze!

"Ahhh—!!!"

Zhao Wuji let out a piercing scream and crashed heavily to the ground.

Only then did he realize that Tang San's arrow had saved him.

But the terrifying heat pouring from his right arm left him in unbearable agony.

"Go out!!"

Eyes bloodshot, Zhao Wuji frantically drew on the immense Soul Power of a Seven-Ring Soul Sage.

He poured everything into his right arm, trying to smother the golden flames.

To his despair, he found that his Soul Power acted like fuel before the golden fire, only making it burn hotter and hotter!

The terrifying flames were about to spread from his arm to his torso.

"Damn it!!!"

Zhao Wuji was a ruthless man. A look of grim determination flashed across his eyes.

With a beastlike roar, his left hand became a sharp bear claw.

Without the slightest hesitation, he chopped hard at his own right shoulder!

"Thwack—!"

Blood sprayed everywhere. His thick right arm was severed at the root and hit the ground with a heavy thud.

Almost as soon as it landed, the Ultimate Fire devoured the severed arm completely, burning it to a pile of ash in the blink of an eye!

Above, Huang Yan looked at the ashes on the ground and Zhao Wuji, who had sacrificed his arm to survive, and couldn't help but laugh scornfully.

"Ignorance really is frightening."

Looking down at Zhao Wuji's deathly pale face, Huang Yan spoke with undisguised mockery.

In this era, the Soul Master World had no concept of "Ultimate Attributes."

Zhao Wuji knew nothing about what Huang Yan was capable of.

He had actually tried to extinguish Ultimate Fire with ordinary Soul Power. It was like adding fuel to the flames; suffering such a heavy loss was only to be expected.

Then the smile slowly faded from Huang Yan's face.

He turned his gaze. His icy stare, as tangible as a blade, locked onto Tang San, who stood below with a Hidden Weapon in hand.

"But you reacted pretty quickly. You actually saw through the trajectory of my attack."

Huang Yan stared at Tang San, killing intent surging in the depths of his eyes as he silently considered his next move.

Based on his earlier probing and perception,

and the events in the original story,

Tang Hao, that old bastard, definitely wasn't nearby!

This was a once-in-a-lifetime chance to kill Tang San!

If he killed Tang San now, he could take Xiao Wu away without a hitch.

She was a living, breathing Hundred-Thousand-Year Transformed Soul Beast!

Even if his current Soul Power Level wasn't high enough to absorb a hundred-thousand-year Spirit Ring,

killing her would at least guarantee him a priceless Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone!

At the thought, the curve of Huang Yan's lips grew more cruel. The golden flame wings on his back beat fiercely.

"Kid, since you're so fond of playing the hero and sticking your nose into other people's business..."

Huang Yan pointed down at Tang San. A dazzling golden light gathered at his fingertips again, and his voice rang out like a sentence passed by the Grim Reaper.

"Then you can leave your life here today in that stupid bear's place!"

Just as the deadly golden point was about to shoot out,

"Brother!"

Xiao Wu's face went deathly pale. Without the slightest hesitation, she rushed forward and spread her arms, standing firmly in front of Tang San.

Xiao Wu lifted her head and stared at Huang Yan above. Her voice trembled, but it carried a fierce, unwavering resolve.

"Stop!

If you don't get out of here right now, I promise you won't leave this place alive!"

Hearing this, Tang San panicked and grabbed Xiao Wu by the arm.

"Xiao Wu, what are you talking about?!

Get behind me!"

Dai Mubai, Oscar, and the others were just as anxious.

They assumed Xiao Wu was bluffing to save Tang San.

Even Zhao Wuji, a Seven-Ring Soul Sage, had lost an arm. What threat could she, a Soul Grandmaster, possibly pose?

But Huang Yan didn't laugh. Instead, his expression abruptly darkened.

The others couldn't sense it.

But he clearly felt the extremely subtle, yet utterly pure, aura of a Spirit Beast pouring from Xiao Wu without restraint!

"Damn it..."

Huang Yan cursed inwardly, his expression instantly turning grave.

He remembered the original story all too well!

They weren't far from the Star Dou Great Forest.

If Xiao Wu deliberately revealed her Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast aura, it would instantly alert the Titan Giant Ape and the Sky Azure Bull Python!

If he attacked Xiao Wu now,

whether or not he managed to get the Soul Bone, the enraged Titan Giant Ape would pursue him to the ends of the earth at any cost!

There wasn't much time.

"Lucky you."

Huang Yan's expression turned cold. He decided at once to flee.

But a vicious glint flashed in his eyes as he looked down and sneered.

"Still, since I came all this way, I might as well leave you a little gift before I go!"

Before the words had even faded, the gorgeous golden flame wings on Huang Yan's back beat hard, and he shot skyward in a streak of light.

At the same time, he flung both hands outward.

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh—!"

Several streaks of golden light shot down at Tang San, Xiao Wu, Oscar, and Dai Mubai,

as well as Zhao Wuji, who lay gravely wounded on the ground!

"Enjoy yourselves, you Shrek trash!"

Huang Yan's arrogant, mocking laughter echoed through the sky, but his figure had already vanished into the night.

(It's all burned out!)
