"Hm?"
At that moment, a beautiful figure appeared in his sight.
She wore a snow-white short top and skirt, revealing a pair of long, straight legs and skin as fair as jade.
Her slender waist and firm, peach-like hips formed a perfect curve.
Her long black hair reached her waist and swayed gently in the wind!
It was utterly refreshing to behold!
Though he could only see her from behind, Wang Sheng, who had lived two lives, experienced for the first time what it meant for one's heart to race, what it meant to fall in love at first sight.
In his previous life, he had devoted himself entirely to martial arts and had never experienced such feelings, so he did not understand what was going through his mind now.
But he knew that, at this moment, he swore he would never let her suffer even the slightest harm! He would protect her!
"Rustle, rustle!"
A burst of movement sounded, and a huge ape-type soul beast swiftly appeared in front of the beauty.
"Ah!"
The beauty's face went pale with shock as she staggered back in panic.
"Not good! It's an Earth Soul Ape!"
Wang Sheng's expression changed drastically. At that moment, his heart had already been drawn to the beauty! Without a second thought, he immediately activated his First Soul Skill: "Purple Flame Impact!"
The Blazing Blade appeared in Wang Sheng's hand, while his only soul ring lit up at the same time.
Flames surged wildly from the Blazing Blade, first transforming it into a state of purple fire. Then, they spread across Wang Sheng's entire body, finally forming a humanoid shape of purple flames.
He charged straight at the Earth Soul Ape.
At that moment, the Earth Soul Ape looked at the beauty as though it had found some peerless delicacy.
As if it had been pumped full of stimulants, it let out a furious roar and pounced madly toward her, throwing a fist straight at her.
"Why? Why? Why was Heaven so unfair!"
As the Earth Soul Ape drew closer and closer, there was no fear or despair in the beauty's eyes.
They were filled only with unwillingness!
Bang!
A figure shot past her, carrying blazing flames as it fiercely collided with the Earth Soul Ape's fist.
Boom!
"Roar!"
The Earth Soul Ape let out a low roar and staggered back repeatedly, violently shaking its hand as though trying to fling off the purple flames clinging to it!
Yet, to its surprise, the purple flames were not shaken off. Instead, they spread across the Earth Soul Ape's entire body.
Wang Sheng froze. He had never expected the purple flames to be so powerful!
One had to know that this Earth Soul Ape was a thousand-year soul beast!
"Roar!"
The Earth Soul Ape roared furiously, and an eerie power immediately appeared around its body. The ground changed along with it as gray, pointed energy emerged and fused with the strange power surrounding it!
"Go!"
With such a huge change, even an idiot would know that the Earth Soul Ape was about to unleash a soul skill, and its power would definitely be no small matter.
Wang Sheng immediately scooped up the still-dazed beauty and fled rapidly into the distance!
"It seemed Heaven hadn't completely abandoned me after all, sending someone like him to appear just in time!"
Only then did the beauty come back to her senses, and she could not help letting out a sigh of relief. When the Earth Soul Ape had swung its fist at her, she had thought she was about to die!
"Hm!"
At that moment, a warm current came from her waist, making her entire body go weak. She leaned into Wang Sheng and pressed tightly against his sturdy shoulder.
She subconsciously glanced at the man who had saved her and discovered that although he was still very young, he was full of masculine vigor!
His arms were strong and powerful, giving her a deep sense of reliability and security.
It was a feeling she had never experienced before, and her face instinctively turned red.
But Wang Sheng had no time or inclination to admire the beauty in his arms! After all, there was still a deadly Earth Soul Ape behind them!
He subconsciously looked back!
Boom!
The Earth Soul Ape had already been covered in purple flames! However, its soul skill had also activated. A wave of gray power directly shook the purple flames off its body.
And it was not over yet. The gray power continued spreading outward, shattering the ground and snapping trees wherever it passed.
"Damn! That was way too powerful! Could I have misjudged it? Was it not a thousand-year soul beast, but a ten-thousand-year one?"
Seeing this, Wang Sheng could not help swearing. At the same time, he felt extremely fortunate that choosing to run had been so wise. Otherwise, he would probably have ended up like those broken trees!
Still, for some reason, that gray power felt strangely familiar.
Boom!
The Earth Soul Ape clearly had no intention of letting them off so easily. Its legs suddenly exerted force, and it shot directly toward Wang Sheng and the beauty! Its speed left Wang Sheng utterly shocked!
Wang Sheng did not dare think any further. He used the Shaolin Movement Technique and fled at full speed.
Yet no matter how Wang Sheng accelerated or changed direction, the Earth Soul Ape continued to follow close behind them.
"Put me down and run! I can tell that you have very little Soul Power left! If this continued, not only would you fail to save me, you would die here as well." The beauty in Wang Sheng's arms finally spoke.
Only then did Wang Sheng lower his head to look at the beauty he was carrying. The moment he did, he froze, and his body faltered, because he saw a face beautiful beyond compare.
Her brows were like willow leaves, her eyes like stars, and her lips like cherries, making one want to take a bite! She also possessed a natural Charm that made it impossible to look away from her.
At the same time, he felt astonishing softness and elasticity through his palms and arms.
Wang Sheng was carrying her in a princess hold, with one hand around her waist and the other beneath her thigh! He could even feel the softness pressed against his chest! They were truly not small!
Judging by her height, she was probably about the same age as him. She was a little girl, yet somehow gave off the impression of being fully mature.
"Gulp."
Wang Sheng could not help swallowing.
Fortunately, he reacted quickly and desperately suppressed the turmoil in his heart, steadying himself without affecting his escape. Otherwise, the Earth Soul Ape behind them might have seized the chance to catch up.
Seeing the burning look in Wang Sheng's eyes, the beauty's body went even softer. She also realized that although Wang Sheng had not answered her—
The determination between his brows already made it clear that he had no intention of putting her down and fleeing alone!
She could not help asking, "Why are you saving me?"
"For no reason! I just didn't want to see you suffer even the slightest harm!"
The beauty stared at Wang Sheng, her eyes becoming somewhat dazed as she murmured, "You didn't want me to be hurt?"
After that, her gaze became strange once more.
"The one behind us is no ordinary Earth Soul Ape, but the Earth Soul Ape King! A true royal among soul beasts. Though it is only a thousand years old, even ordinary ten-thousand-year soul beasts are no match for it! Fortunately, its greatest strength is power rather than speed. Otherwise, we would already have died beneath its fists."
