The Ferocious Beasts' Fury-Di Tian: Two Fools, How Dare They Unleash Their Killing Intent?!
After Di Tian and the others rose to their feet, his golden dragon eyes finally noticed Xiao Wu lying unconscious on the grass nearby, limp as a rag doll.
Di Tian furrowed his brow, puzzled.
So this was the rabbit called Xiao Wu?
Why was she unconscious?
And judging by the looks of it, she hadn't simply fallen asleep.
It even seemed she'd been knocked out by the Lord's hand.
"Lord," Di Tian asked respectfully, "this Soft Bone Rabbit is...?"
Gu Yuena glanced coldly at Xiao Wu on the ground and gave a brief, icy account of what had happened.
She explained how the Sky Screen had exposed Tang Hao and his son's true intentions toward Xiao Wu; how Xiao Wu had known the truth yet still chosen to stand with Tang San, even placing herself in their way; and how she'd even mentioned her "improper delusions" about Gu Yuan.
As Gu Yuena spoke, the expressions of every Ferocious Beast present changed.
"Preposterous!"
Xiong Jun, the most hot-tempered among them, was the first to roar. Terrifying baleful energy spilled uncontrollably from him.
"She's a traitor to her own kind!
Humans covet her Soul Ring and Soul Bone, yet instead of seeking revenge, she wants to make an enemy of the Lord for that human?!"
"Utterly foolish!"
Zi Ji's beautiful eyes were filled with scorn and fury.
"Blinded by human emotions, she's even forgotten her own kind and where her loyalties lie! A traitor like that deserves to die!"
Even Bi Ji, who was usually gentle, had her delicate brows knitted together. She sighed softly.
"She has betrayed ten thousand years of cultivation, and the very identity of a Soul Beast."
Di Tian's expression was the darkest of all. After hearing the story, the air around him turned terrifyingly oppressive.
As the highest commander of the Soul Beast Clan aside from Gu Yuena and Gu Yuan, he hated betrayal above all else.
In his eyes, Xiao Wu's actions amounted to the most complete betrayal of the entire Soul Beast Clan!
Not only was she offering herself up to the enemy as a "walking Soul Bone," she was even willing to take up arms against her own ruler for their sake!
"Hmph!"
Di Tian let out a cold snort, killing intent flashing in his golden dragon eyes.
"Lord, there is no use keeping a traitor like her alive.
Since her heart is set on humanity, let her make one final contribution to the Soul Beast Clan."
Di Tian turned to Gu Yuan and respectfully made his suggestion.
"Why not kill her here and take her Soul Ring and Soul Bone to give the young lord greater strength?
The Soul Bone of a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soft Bone Rabbit would be a decent boost to the young lord at his current level."
At his words, Xiong Jun and the other Ferocious Beasts voiced their agreement. They looked at Xiao Wu as if she were nothing more than an object.
Gu Yuena furrowed her brow.
This little rabbit's Soul Bone?
She didn't think much of it, and she didn't want Gu Yuan to absorb it.
The truth was, there were so few Soul Bones in Douluo Continent, and even fewer Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bones.
It seemed illogical.
After all, Soul Beasts didn't absorb the Soul Bones left behind when other Soul Beasts killed one another.
After countless years of accumulation, there should have been many Soul Bones in Douluo Continent.
And yet, even a Thousand-Year Soul Bone was worth a fortune.
For the vast majority of Soul Masters, a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone was something that existed only in legend.
Nearly all the Soul Bones from Douluo Continent and the surrounding seas had been gathered in the Star Dou Great Forest and stockpiled in a hidden space beneath Life Lake.
In the plan Gu Yuena had made for Gu Yuan, he was eventually meant to cultivate his human body to the level of a god.
A God King, ideally.
But at the very least, the "hard parts" of his body—
Aside from his Soul Rings, his Soul Bones had to be the finest available!
In Gu Yuena's eyes, having Gu Yuan absorb any other Soul Bones would be a waste of his talent.
He had to go to the Dragon Valley micro-world and absorb the Soul Bones of the Dragon Clan gods who had fallen there.
Of course, even without going to Dragon Valley, there was another good place to find Soul Bones from Dragon Clan gods.
The Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
The Soul Bones of the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings beneath the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well were also treasures.
A single God King-level Soul Bone could send Gu Yuan straight to Titled Douluo after he absorbed it, thanks to the huge surge in Soul Power.
Just as the murderous atmosphere reached its peak—
"Boom—!
Boom—!
Boom—!"
Heavy footsteps, like pounding war drums, drew closer. The earth shook violently as two enormous figures smashed through countless towering ancient trees, charging toward them with overwhelming fury.
"Roar—!!"
Amid deafening roars, a Titan Giant Ape as vast as a mountain and a blue python with an enormous bull's head appeared on the scene.
They were the late arrivals, Daming the Sky Azure Bull Python and Erming the Titan Giant Ape!
They lacked Di Tian's ability to tear through space.
More accurately, Di Tian hadn't wanted to bring them along.
They had to travel on foot, and were a little slower.
But the moment they arrived, their eyes locked on Xiao Wu, still unconscious on the grass.
"Xiao Wu!"
Daming's booming voice was filled with shock and urgency.
"Who hurt Xiao Wu?!"
Erming was even more direct. He pounded his sturdy chest, his lantern-sized eyes turning bloodshot in an instant, and his frenzied fury fixed on the most powerful presences there: Di Tian and the others.
Seeing their little sister, whom they had protected since childhood, lying unconscious on the ground, surrounded by a group of top-tier Ferocious Beasts radiating bone-chilling killing intent—
Daming and Erming were stunned. A moment later, they were consumed by boundless fury and confusion.
They couldn't understand why their own kind in the Star Dou Great Forest would direct such terrifying killing intent at Xiao Wu.
Di Tian snorted. His dignified golden dragon eyes showed no emotion, only bone-deep coldness and disdain.
"You dare unleash your killing intent in the presence of the Lord and the young lord?"
Di Tian's voice wasn't loud, yet it instantly drowned out Daming and Erming's furious roars.
Before he had even finished speaking, Di Tian didn't move from where he stood. He merely raised his right hand, as casually as if swatting at a fly.
In an instant, an enormous dragon claw covered in pitch-black scales appeared above Daming and Erming. It blotted out the sky and slammed down with irresistible force!
"Boom! Boom!"
Two earth-shaking crashes rang out. The ground caved in violently, and the two mountain-sized figures were slammed into the earth by the dragon claw before they could put up even the slightest resistance!
Two enormous craters appeared in the hard-packed ground. The bodies of the Titan Giant Ape and the Sky Azure Bull Python were buried in them, dust billowing as the dull crunch of breaking bones rang clear. Blood spilled from their mouths, and their auras weakened to the brink of collapse.
With a single strike, the two kings of the Star Dou Great Forest had been utterly subdued!
"Hmph. Fools who don't know when to quit."
Xiong Jun let out a scornful chuckle.
The beautiful Zi Ji covered her mouth as she laughed, her eyes full of contempt.
"As expected, birds of a feather flock together. The fools who associate with that traitorous rabbit are just as ignorant of the heights of heaven."
