Qian Xunji, I'll Lead You to Victory!

Qian Xunji, I'll Lead You to Victory!

Boom!

Another deafening blast erupted as terrifying Soul Power exploded outward. The Titan Giant Ape staggered back several steps before steadying itself. Every spot its feet landed sank into small pits, and the shockwaves from its heavy stomps sent large sections of the Lake of Life's shore collapsing into the water, splashing up huge waves.

In terms of strength, the Titan Giant Ape was only equivalent to a level 95 Titled Douluo. With its Gravity Domain activated, it could contend with a level 96 Titled Douluo and even fight a level 97 Beast Spirit Titled Douluo. However, its Gravity Domain had been neutralized by Qian Xunji's Angel Domain, leaving it unable to stand against the Mighty Lion Douluo.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The frozen surface of the Lake of Life suddenly shattered. Something resembling a fish fin burst through the ice, rapidly extending from beneath the water. Only then did its full form become visible—it was a snake's tail. The tail whipped toward Qian Xunji at incredible speed, producing sonic booms wherever it passed.

The Soul Beast that had attacked was naturally the Sky Azure Bull Python. Although the ice beneath it had been frozen by Light Feather Douluo, its Spiritual Power was unaffected. It had long noticed that Qian Xunji was the leader among the three Titled Douluo. Since that was the case, it would capture the leader first.

"So you've finally stopped hiding, Sky Azure Bull Python? You beast are quite intelligent."

"Sixth Soul Skill, Ice Crystal Shield."

Light Feather Douluo's gaze grew more serious. The sixth soul ring beneath his feet lit up, and a pair of wings formed from ice crystals appeared behind him. He raised his bow, and icy-blue Soul Power transformed into a shield.

Suddenly, a surge of Soul Power stirred within the forest behind them. Amid flashes of pink light, it rapidly closed in on Qian Xunji and Light Feather Douluo as though teleporting, moving even faster than the Sky Azure Bull Python!

With their Spiritual Power, Qian Xunji and Light Feather Douluo could clearly see through the repeated Teleportations. It was a plump, snow-white rabbit—the Hundred-Thousand-Year Soft Bone Rabbit, Xiao Wu.

Xiao Wu used her Teleportation soul skill to close the distance at breakneck speed. Just as she neared Qian Xunji, she flipped her body and kicked both hind legs toward his kidneys.

Those four legs, honed over a hundred thousand years in the Star Dou Great Forest as she survived beneath the gaping maws of predators, were extraordinarily powerful. If the kick landed, it would definitely break bones.

"Not good!"

Qian Xunji had noticed Xiao Wu the moment she made her first Teleportation. With a flap of his three pairs of wings, he shoved aside Light Feather Douluo, who was defending him against the Sky Azure Bull Python's attack. His second soul ring lit up, and his body turned transparent.

Second Soul Skill, Angel Wings—immune to all physical attacks and reducing energy attacks by fifty percent.

The Sky Azure Bull Python's tail passed through Qian Xunji's body and whipped toward Xiao Wu's rear just as she turned around to launch another attack.

"Sister Xiao Wu, dodge!"

"Invincible Golden Body!"

A golden radiance flared around Xiao Wu's body, forming a fortress-like barrier. The Sky Azure Bull Python's tail struck it with a metallic clang. Not only did the golden light block the attack, it absorbed the Sky Azure Bull Python's entire impact, leaving Xiao Wu unharmed instead of sending her flying like a ball.

"Three Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts!"

The carefree smile at the corner of Light Feather Douluo's lips vanished, replaced by solemnity. The Mighty Lion Douluo was the same. Together, the three Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts were stronger than the two of them plus Qian Xunji.

To prevent another ambush, they swept the forest below with their Spiritual Power and confirmed that no Soul Beasts were hiding there. The Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts around the Lake of Life had long been driven away by the Sky Azure Bull Python and Titan Giant Ape, all to protect Ah Rou.

Even if there had been other Soul Beasts, the battle between six Titled Douluo-level powerhouses would have terrified them into fleeing.

Qian Xunji, Light Feather Douluo, and the Mighty Lion Douluo once again hovered in the air, their faces grave. The Titan Giant Ape, Sky Azure Bull Python, and Xiao Wu stood below as terrifying earthen-yellow, azure, and pink Soul Power surged around them. Battle could erupt again at any moment.

"Sister Xiao Wu, Second Brother, we must kill them. Otherwise, they'll definitely bring more Titled Douluo to kill us!"

The Sky Azure Bull Python transmitted its voice. As the shared brain of the Titan Giant Ape and Xiao Wu, it naturally possessed some experience. When a faction deployed forces to hunt Soul Beasts, at most it would send half of its strength. Qian Xunji's group was likely only half the strength of the faction behind them. They had to be killed, or when they returned, all of them—including Sister Xiao Wu and Aunt Rou—might be finished.

Gravity Domain! Slow Domain! The two domains erupted, and Qian Xunji, Light Feather Douluo, and the Mighty Lion Douluo immediately felt themselves being affected.

No matter how powerful Qian Xunji's Angel Domain was, it was still only one domain. It could not resist the domains of two top-tier Soul Beasts at once.

Sensing the killing intent of the three Soul Beasts, the Mighty Lion Douluo and Light Feather Douluo's eyes filled with even fiercer killing intent.

"Fourth Elder, Fifth Elder, if you trust me, Qian Xunji, please tell me your soul skills."

Qian Xunji transmitted his voice to the impulsive Light Feather Douluo and Mighty Lion Douluo. Xiao Wu's arrival had tipped the balance of battle toward the Sky Azure Bull Python's side. Soul Beasts naturally possessed more abundant Soul Power than humans. If they kept fighting or tried to outlast them, they would only lose. Only by formulating a strategy could they have a chance at victory.

The Mighty Lion Douluo and Light Feather Douluo came back to their senses. They did not understand why Qian Xunji was asking this, but after hesitating for a moment, they told him their soul skills.

After a brief storm of thought in his mind, Qian Xunji curled his lips into a smile. "I'll lead you to victory! Follow my orders!"

As soon as he spoke, Qian Xunji's seventh soul ring lit up. A Six-Winged Angel dozens of meters tall appeared behind him, and his sixth soul ring lit up as well.

"Sixth Soul Skill, Angel's Roar!"

Qian Xunji opened his mouth and roared. Golden Soul Power surged from the corners of his eyes as the mental impact of the sound waves targeted every person and Soul Beast present.

The Mighty Lion Douluo, Light Feather Douluo, Titan Giant Ape, and Sky Azure Bull Python possessed enough Spiritual Power to resist it. Their heads spun, but they endured. However, one beast could not withstand Qian Xunji's mental sound waves. Naturally, it was Xiao Wu.

At that moment, the weakness of the Soft Bone Rabbit bloodline revealed itself. Her Spiritual Power was not strong. Faced with Qian Xunji's mental sound waves, she curled up on the ground in agony, her head throbbing unbearably as she let out painful moans. Blood flowed from her eyes and nose.

Fourth Elder, Ninth Soul Skill. Feint an attack on the Hundred-Thousand-Year Soft Bone Rabbit! Trust me!

When the Mighty Lion Douluo heard that Qian Xunji wanted him to attack the Hundred-Thousand-Year Soft Bone Rabbit with his ninth soul skill, he hesitated. Normally, in this situation, a fierce attack should have targeted the stronger Titan Giant Ape and Sky Azure Bull Python.

But upon hearing the words "trust me," the Mighty Lion Douluo's ninth soul ring lit up. Soaring flames erupted from his martial soul, and an incomparably loud, majestic lion's roar burst from his mouth. Chain after chain condensed from Soul Power gathered in his palm, seemingly solid.

"Ninth Soul Skill, Soul Shattering Sky Slaughtering Roar!"

A flaming lion the size of a small mountain descended like a meteor of fire toward the agonized, immobile Xiao Wu.

"How dare you!" X2

The Sky Azure Bull Python and Titan Giant Ape both roared furiously. Xiao Wu could not defend herself under the mental sound-wave attack. If she was struck by the Ninth Soul Skill, she would certainly die. The Mighty Lion Douluo wanted to kill their beloved Sister Xiao Wu—he was courting death.

The Titan Giant Ape's mountain-sized body sprang up with the agility of a monkey, throwing a punch at the Mighty Lion Douluo. The Sky Azure Bull Python also swung its tail toward him.

Worried about hurting Sister Xiao Wu, neither beast used its ultimate attack—the Titan Sky Dome Cannon or Sky Blue Extinction Lightning.

"Fifth Elder, now! Aim for the Sky Azure Bull Python's heart—Eighth Soul Skill!"

"I understand!" The carefree smile returned to Light Feather Douluo's face. He had not expected that Soft Bone Rabbit to be so important to the Titan Giant Ape and Sky Azure Bull Python.
