This Grudge Cannot Be Borne!

"Furthermore, that Xiao Wu of yours in the human world will also become my spirit ring."

Hearing the mention of Xiao Wu, the Azure Bull Python flew into a complete rage, struggling with every ounce of its strength.

But with just one kick, Ye Qiong stomped it back down:

"Think clearly. If you offer a sacrifice, you might still retain a sliver of your soul."

"But if I kill you, then there will truly be nothing left."

The Azure Bull Python fell silent.

It stared into Ye Qiong's eyes, hoping to find a trace of hesitation.

But there was none.

In this human's eyes, there was only calm.

He was serious.

In the end, the Azure Bull Python closed its eyes in agony:

"I... am willing to offer my sacrifice."

Ye Qiong smiled:

"That's more like it."

On the outskirts of the Star Dou Great Forest.

The Titan Giant Ape, Er Ming, was wandering through the woods.

Suddenly, it stopped in its tracks and looked up toward the direction of the core area.

A familiar aura was fading away.

It was Da Ming's aura.

Er Ming's eyes instantly turned blood-red.

It let out a roar of grief and fury:

"Da Ming!"

Da Ming was dead!

The Titan Giant Ape fell into an instant frenzy.

It ran through the forest, venting its rage and wreaking destruction.

It had to find the human who killed Da Ming.

It had to tear him to pieces.

Back at the Star Lake, Ye Qiong was still unaware that the crazed Titan Giant Ape was rushing toward him.

He sat cross-legged on the ground, frantically absorbing the energy from the Azure Bull Python's sacrifice.

This energy was incredibly vast, flowing continuously into his body and giving Ye Qiong a sensation of extreme comfort.

A moment later, he slowly opened his eyes.

Rings of spirit rings rose from beneath his feet.

Yellow, purple, purple, black, black, black, red.

Seven spirit rings circled his body.

The color of the sixth spirit ring was somewhat peculiar; although it was black, it shimmered with a deep, blood-red hue.

That was the spirit ring he had obtained five months ago.

Do not be fooled by the fact that it was only a ten-thousand-year spirit ring; its power far exceeded that of an ordinary hundred-thousand-year spirit ring.

This was simply because it was the spirit ring of a unique spirit beast like the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger!

"Level 74." Ye Qiong took a deep breath.

He had finally broken through.

On the other side, the group from Shrek Academy had the misfortune of running into the maddened Er Ming.

Zhao Wuji stopped in his tracks, looking at the mountain-like Titan Giant Ape before him, his face instantly turning deathly pale:

"No! It's the hundred-thousand-year spirit beast, the Titan Giant Ape! Run!"

But it was already too late.

Er Ming charged straight out of the woods.

Its eyes were blood-red, and it wanted to kill anyone in its path.

Sensing the monstrous killing intent, Zhao Wuji immediately released his martial soul and stood in front to block it:

"Hurry and go! I'll hold it off!"

Tang San grabbed Xiao Wu, who was frozen in place, and ran, with the others following closely behind.

However, the moment Er Ming saw Xiao Wu among the crowd, its target shifted instantly.

It took a single stride, bypassed Zhao Wuji, reached out a massive palm, and snatched Xiao Wu up.

Seeing this, Tang San's eyes turned blood-red in an instant:

"Xiao Wu!"

He turned and charged toward Er Ming, but Er Ming merely flicked its hand, swatting him away.

Clutching Xiao Wu, Er Ming turned and bolted, disappearing into the depths of the forest in the blink of an eye.

Tang San climbed up from the ground, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth, and gritted his teeth as he pursued them regardless of the cost.

"Xiao Wu!"

Zhao Wuji shouted from behind:

"Tang San! Come back!"

But Tang San could not hear a thing.

At this moment, there was only one thought in his mind.

Save Xiao Wu.

Core Area.

Ye Qiong had just finished absorbing his spirit ring and was planning to open the system to check his mission progress.

Suddenly, he sensed the earth shaking and the mountains quivering.

The corners of Ye Qiong's mouth curled up.

"Heh, so you've arrived?"

Sure enough, the next second, the forest was smashed open as if it were made of paper.

Er Ming charged out, with a person sitting on its shoulder.

It was none other than Xiao Wu.

The moment it reached the Star Lake, Er Ming's eyes locked onto the red spirit ring on Ye Qiong's body.

"Da Ming... You human! What have you done to Da Ming?"

Xiao Wu looked at that spirit ring, her entire body trembling:

"You, you killed Da Ming!"

Facing Xiao Wu and Er Ming, Ye Qiong merely smiled indifferently.

But to the two of them, this smile was nothing but contemptuous mockery.

It was as if killing their kin was no different than crushing an ant.

Such an attitude instantly made both Xiao Wu and Er Ming's eyes turn blood-red.

"Human! How dare you kill my kin! I will tear you into ten thousand pieces!"

Er Ming pounded its chest in a rage, letting out a heaven-shaking roar.

Xiao Wu, disregarding the disparity in their strength, charged forward directly.

Seeing this, Ye Qiong frowned:

"How annoying."

Tang San's opportunity was about to appear, and he had no time to waste here.

He wanted to leave.

Thus, the next second, he moved.

Xiao Wu had only taken a single step when she was struck hard on the back of her neck.

Before she could even summon her martial spirit, her vision went black, and she collapsed to the ground.

"Xiao Wu!"

Er Ming was furious and swiped a palm toward Ye Qiong.

However, Ye Qiong leaped lightly and landed on top of Er Ming's head.

"I'm in a hurry, I won't play with you anymore."

As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Qiong lifted the baseball bat in his hand, and his seventh spirit ring lit up.

The next second, A massive baseball bat that reached from the heavens to the earth appeared above the Titan Giant Ape's head.

Looking at this sky-piercing club, Er Ming's fur stood on end, and fear made it want to flee.

But its legs no longer obeyed its commands.

Ye Qiong gripped the baseball bat and swung it down with all his might, devoid of any emotion.

The massive baseball bat came crashing down with a boom.

Er Ming crossed his arms to shield his head.

BOOM!

The ground was blasted open, leaving a massive crater.

The dust and smoke dissipated.

Er Ming lay at the bottom of the pit, his eyes rolled back as he fell completely unconscious.

Seeing this, Ye Qiong retracted his martial soul and jumped down to the edge of the pit.

In the end, he didn't even spare them a glance before turning and walking away.

It was unknown how much time had passed when Xiao Wu was the first to wake up, her head splitting with pain.

She saw the unconscious Er Ming beside her and, remembering everything that had just happened, tears welled up in her eyes uncontrollably.

Er Ming opened his eyes, and seeing the tearful Xiao Wu, he pounded his chest in fury:

"Aaaah! Damn human! I will have my revenge! I will have my revenge!"

"Er Ming... don't be reckless."

Watching the enraged Er Ming, Xiao Wu clenched her fists and bit her lip.

"Da Ming is gone, Er Ming. You are the only family I have left; I don't want to lose you too."

Er Ming was stunned:

"But, Sister Xiao Wu..."

"I will seek revenge on him myself."

Xiao Wu stood up, wiped away her tears, and her gaze turned icy cold:

"That man killed Da Ming and humiliated us. I will settle this debt myself."

Er Ming looked at Xiao Wu's back, feeling for the first time that this Sister Xiao Wu had grown up.

"Er Ming, leave this place and find somewhere to hide."

Er Ming remained silent for a long time before finally saying in a low voice:

"Sister Xiao Wu, I will wait for you here. If you need me, come back anytime. I will help you."

Xiao Wu nodded and turned to look in the direction of Soto City.

Da Ming was her kin, and he was her younger brother.

The hatred for killing a brother was irreconcilable!

No matter who that person was, she would kill him with her own hands!

On the other side, Tang San acted like a madman, darting aimlessly through the dense forest while growling:

"Xiao Wu, Xiao Wu!"

But he did not know that a Human-Faced Demon Spider was quietly closing in behind him.
