Every time Xiao Wu stepped into the soft soil, it stirred up fine bits of grass.

Her breathing sounded particularly rapid in the quiet, deep forest.

The iconic towering trees on the outskirts of the Star Dou Great Forest are already faintly visible.

Just walk through that patch of low shrubs covered with dense vines,

She will then be able to return to the natural sanctuary of the Soul Beast.

Two ear-piercing screeching sounds tore through the air without warning.

However,

Several Soul Master dressed in the official robes of the Spirit Hall hung upside down from the treetops above.

The chilling fluctuations of Soul Power sealed off all escape routes in an extremely short time.

Xiao Wu's pupils contracted sharply.

The situation she least wanted to see still happened.

"Laugh!"

A sharp blade of air narrowly missed her left arm.

The thin sleeves were neatly cut open.

Warm drops of blood splattered onto the emerald green grass.

"Hmm!"

Xiao Wu staggered half a step to the side due to the excruciating pain.

She gritted her teeth and forced herself to maintain her balance.

His gaze swept coldly over the Spirit Hall identity token gleaming at the other person's waist.

The golden, crossed sword pattern stung my eyes.

The leading Soul Master let out a sinister grin.

He rubbed his dusty hands as he walked forward.

"Run? Go ahead and keep jumping around."

"They were stopped by us brothers."

"You'd better come back to the Spirit Hall with us and await your fate, or you'll suffer even more pain and torment."

Xiao Wu pressed her right hand tightly against the bleeding wound on her left arm, with blood constantly gushing out between her fingers.

Her heart plummeted into an abyss.

She knew her current situation better than anyone else.

Once you cross that narrow stream, barely a few feet wide, you'll reach the true territory of the Star Dou Great Forest.

That is the true territory of the Star Dou Great Forest.

Once you step into that place, you'll have a chance to escape.

She didn't waste a single word on these greedy fellows.

He pushed off the ground hard with his toes.

Her petite body transformed into a streak of red light and shot off diagonally.

The shadows deep in the forest quickly swallowed her figure.

The sound of pursuing footsteps followed closely behind.

The withered branches and rotten leaves were crushed to pieces by the heavy military boots.

Xiao Wu used her familiarity with the terrain to maneuver among the ancient trees.

The burning pain in her left arm constantly disrupted her balance.

The Soul Power within his body was being consumed extremely rapidly.

The three Spirit Hall Soul Master formed a triangular flanking formation.

They worked together seamlessly.

Several sharp Soul Skill bombarded the tree trunk beside her one after another.

Countless wood chips and broken branches flew everywhere.

Their escape route was completely blocked by layers upon layers of Soul Power light netting.

Xiao Wu was forced into a dead end surrounded by stones on three sides.

A powerful surge of Soul Power slammed into her back from the side and behind.

A dull thud echoed across the open space.

A strong, metallic taste suddenly welled up in Xiao Wu's throat, and she stumbled forward several steps before managing to kneel on one knee.

She braced herself against the cold rock with her mud-covered hands, her delicate body arching slightly from the intense pain.

The leading Soul Master approached slowly with a mocking expression, like a cat toying with a mouse.

The sound of boot soles scraping the ground was particularly jarring.

"Why did you stop running?"

"Aren't you supposed to be a fast runner?"

"Bring this Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast back to the Papal Hall. We'll definitely receive a share of the Pope's rewards."

"At that time, you will enjoy endless wealth and glory."

Xiao Wu's gaze slowly moved upwards.

He stared intently at the constantly flashing Soul Ring on the three people's bodies.

The brain was operating frantically on the edge of extreme danger.

They were searching for even the slightest chance of escape.

The Soul Power within his body was almost completely depleted.

With his current strength, he simply cannot contend with three Soul King- level opponents at the same time.

A chilling sense of despair slowly eroded his reason.

The leading Soul Master grinned and raised his right hand.

The third Soul Ring shone with a dazzling, eerie blue light.

A vine formed from condensed Soul Power rushed towards her feet Entanglement them, its icy touch already touching her ankles.

Just then...

"Boom!!!"

The entire earth suddenly began to shake violently.

A deep, rumbling sound, like muffled thunder, rolled out from the depths of the ground.

Gravel and fallen leaves on the ground bounced high into the air.

The birds in the forest were startled and scattered in all directions.

A massive, suffocatingly dark shadow blocked out the last remaining sunlight overhead.

The Titan Giant Ape leaped down from the treetops like a moving mountain.

The heavy thud of the landing caused the entire mountain to shake.

It stood firmly in front of Xiao Wu.

"Roar!!!"

Its enormous body kept all the pursuers at bay.

The terrifying pressure of the Soul Beast poured out like a tidal wave.

The Martial Soul released by the three Soul Master were directly overshadowed by the absolute power.

The circulation of their Soul Power came to a standstill in a very short time.

Even his legs began to tremble violently and uncontrollably.

"Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast!"

"It's Titan Giant Ape!"

The leading Soul Master's face was ashen.

The voice was completely distorted due to extreme fear.

"Why is the Forest appearing in the outer area?!"

Xiao Wu stared blankly at the incredibly familiar, broad back in front of her.

The heart that had been hanging in my throat finally settled back into my stomach.

The pent-up grievances and fears of the past few days finally burst forth at this moment, and warm tears streamed down her face.

Her voice was hoarse and heartbreaking. "Er Ming!"

The Titan Giant Ape heard the call that resonated deep within its heart.

A scarlet light shone in its lantern-sized eyes.

The savage killing intent transformed into a tangible storm that swept across the entire area.

These despicable humans actually dared to make Sister Xiao Wu bleed.

Unforgivable!

"Roar!!!"

Er Ming let out a roar that shook the mountains and forests.

The arm, as thick as a giant pillar, swung out with destructive force.

The Soul Master at the very front had no time to make any defensive moves.

He was struck head-on by the violent palm wind and sent flying dozens of feet away like a rag doll.

After crashing through several ancient trees that were as thick as a person's embrace, it fell completely silent.

The other two Soul Master were terrified.

Run!

They scrambled and crawled, trying to turn around and escape this hell on earth.

Er Ming's enormous hand reached out and grasped at the air.

The large, thick fingers applied slight pressure.

"Crack!"

The sound of bones cracking could be clearly heard in the empty forest.

Two cold corpses were carelessly tossed into the bushes.

The surrounding air fell silent once more.

Er Ming body slowly crouched down.

The movements were as gentle as if they were handling an extremely fragile, priceless treasure.

It carefully cradled Xiao Wu's injured body with its calloused fingertips.

They were afraid that even the slightest movement would hurt the other person.

It turned around and strode forward with steady steps.

They quickly headed towards the heart of the Forest with Xiao Wu in their arms.

The towering ancient trees on both sides rushed past.

Crossing the last natural water curtain barrier.

A clear lake, resembling a giant emerald, appeared at the edge of the horizon.

The emerald green lake exudes an intensely rich life force.

"Splash!"

The enormous head of the Sky Azure Bull Python slowly rose from beneath the water.

His huge eyes were filled with doubt.

"Sister Xiao Wu?"

Da Ming's voice betrayed his barely concealed anxiety and anger.

"Er Ming, how did Sister Xiao Wu end up here, and how did she get so badly injured?"

Er Ming gently placed Xiao Wu on the soft grass by the lake and replied in a muffled voice, "They're a group of reckless human Soul Master."

"I sensed Sister Xiao Wu's presence at the edge of the Forest and rushed over, only to find them besieging me."

Xiao Wu sat quietly on the lush green grass.

Xiao Wu experienced a thrilling chase and escape.

This moment.

Her restless and tormented heart finally found its way back to the safest harbor.
