One-Sided Annihilation, Bi Ji Appears

"Bang!"

Yu Hengqing, his body wreathed in golden lightning, lowered his raised left arm. The sharp claws he expected had not landed on him, for a figure had blocked the path before him.

"Xiao Qing, are you alright!"

Yu Hezai, in a half-dragon state and clad in ink-blue armor, had intercepted the shadow's attack for Yu Hengqing.

"Tsk, to think I was actually blocked! Kid, you should be thankful I didn't have any killing intent; otherwise, a mere Spirit Douluo wouldn't be able to stop me!"

Because Yu Hezai was blocking his view, Yu Hengqing could not see what the speaker looked like, but judging by the tone, the person's strength was definitely no lower than a Titled Douluo.

"Senior, my boy and I have surely not offended you, have we? I beg you, Senior, please show mercy and let us both go!"

Knowing his chances of victory were slim, Yu Hezai immediately cupped his hands and bowed, his tone respectful in hopes of convincing the stranger to spare them.

Seeing the human acting so deferential, Xiong Jun let out a scoff of laughter.

"Hahaha, 'Senior'? I am no senior to you hairless monkeys. I only want to ask: what is the name of the boy behind you?"

Hearing Xiong Jun's tone, Yu Hengqing realized instantly that this was no Spirit Master, but a hundred-thousand-year spirit beast in human form.

But in this era, shouldn't Star Dou Forest only have Daming and Erming as hundred-thousand-year spirit beasts?!

Unless the fierce beasts that were supposed to be slumbering in Life Lake had awakened due to some accident.

At this thought, Yu Hengqing's heart sank, and he gripped the pendant at his waist.

If the person before him was truly a fierce beast, then he and Yu Hezai were in grave danger; after all, the strength of a fierce beast was at least equivalent to a level 95 Super Douluo!

"The boy's name is Yu Hengqing. May I ask what business you have with us, My Lord?"

To avoid provoking the stranger, Yu Hengqing stepped slightly to the side of Yu Hezai and looked at Xiong Jun.

Seeing the Thunder God's successor being so polite, Xiong Jun felt a surge of smug satisfaction.

Naturally, Xiong Jun had not forgotten what Di Tian had said. He crooked a finger at Yu Hengqing and commanded, "Since you are reasonably polite, come with me now, and I will spare this Spirit Douluo and let him return safely."

Hearing that Xiong Jun intended to take Yu Hengqing away, Yu Hezai did not hesitate for a second, reaching out to shield Yu Hengqing behind him once more.

"My Lord, I am terribly sorry! My boy is frail and sickly; I must take him back for treatment. If he were to go with you, he would only be a burden."

While Yu Hezai and Xiong Jun were talking, Yu Hengqing immediately consulted Leiyi in his mental space.

"Leiyi, do you have any way to save both of us?"

Leiyi did not answer immediately, for the person before them possessed strength far exceeding Yu Yuanzhen, and the malice radiating from him was not concealed in the slightest.

Using his own power to form the lightning armor just now had already reached his limit; to do so again would surely cause irreversible damage to Yu Hengqing's body.

"I do, but if you use it, your meridians will suffer severe damage. Without sufficient fortune, your cultivation speed will never return to normal!"

Upon hearing this, Yu Hengqing did not hesitate. At a time like this, how could he care about such things?

"Then tell me! As for side effects, one can only see them if one survives!"

In any case, as long as he had the right fortune, he could recover. With so many immortal herbs in the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, there would surely be one suitable for him!

"Very well. In a moment, I will forcibly convert my power into your spirit power. You must transfer this energy to your second cousin."

"With this power, your second cousin can temporarily withstand the attacks of this person. Then, use the protective spirit tool your father gave you to buy time for your escape."

After hearing Leiyi's plan, Yu Hengqing didn't know the odds of success, but having a plan was better than having none!

As soon as Leiyi finished speaking, a vast amount of spirit power appeared within Yu Hengqing's body, flooding his meridians and dantian.

"After I count to three, transfer the spirit power in your body to your second cousin."

Yu Hengqing gritted his teeth against the swelling pain in his meridians and placed his hand on Yu Hezai's back.

Yu Hezai and Xiong Jun, who were in a standoff, simultaneously sensed a powerful surge of spirit power abruptly appear in Yu Hengqing.

'Interesting. Did he obtain this power from the divine trials? Not bad, though it's a pity he can't unleash much of it with his current strength.'

Considering Yu Hengqing was a god-tier successor, Xiong Jun naturally assumed this power came from divine trials.

And because Yu Hezai did not know of Yu Hengqing's status as a successor, he assumed this power was a trump card left behind by Yu Yuanzhen.

"One! Two! Three!"

As Leiyi reached three, Yu Hengqing, pushed to his limit, poured all the spirit power in his body into Yu Hezai in one go.

Xiong Jun had been standing there watching the show, never expecting the power within Yu Hengqing to suddenly transfer to Yu Hezai.

Before Xiong Jun could react, Yu Hezai's dragon-clawed right fist had already landed on his face.

"Fifth Spirit Skill, Thunderstorm!"

"Boom!"

The struck Xiong Jun was sent flying backward, carving a four-to-five-meter trench into the ground and shattering rocks and trees along the way.

"Thunder Ring! Heavenly Thunder Attraction!"

The moment he received the power, Yu Hezai had no other thoughts; his only goal was to temporarily incapacitate the stranger.

Ink-blue lightning continuously bombarded Xiong Jun's position, kicking up clouds of dust.

"Swift Thunder Step! Wild Thunder Armor!"

Yu Hezai had no mood to consider whether his soul skill had caused any damage to Xiong Jun; he activated a speed-boosting soul skill, turned, scooped up Yu Hengqing, and bolted into the distance.

As the lightning and dust dissipated, Xiong Jun stood up from the massive crater, spat out a mouthful of blood, and could no longer conceal the excitement in his eyes.

"Interesting, truly interesting! As expected of the Thunder God's successor, to think you could transfer your own power to another. But how far can this power sustain your escape?"

With his battle intent ignited, Xiong Jun revealed his true form. The fifteen-meter-tall Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear shot forward like a cannonball, charging straight toward Yu Hezai and his companion.

Sensing Xiong Jun's aura, Yu Hezai immediately began weaving a zigzagging path.

"Do you think you're the only ones who can change direction?"

Logically, a physique as massive as a small mountain should have been quite cumbersome, which was exactly why Yu Hezai kept changing his trajectory.

Unexpectedly, Xiong Jun was able to pivot suddenly while moving at high speed, displaying a level of agility that didn't seem like a Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear at all.

The distance was being closed bit by bit. Seeing that Xiong Jun was about to catch up, Yu Hezai crushed a protective soul tool, manifesting a tan-colored shield around Yu Hengqing.

"Heavenly Thunder Attraction!"

Taking advantage of the gap while Xiong Jun resisted the lightning, Yu Hezai tossed Yu Hengqing into a nearby patch of grass.

"Thunder Ring!"

Just as Yu Hengqing stood up after being thrown into the grass, he saw the enraged Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear chasing after Yu Hezai as they disappeared from sight.

"A Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear! The fierce beasts have truly awakened, but what could have caused them to wake up so much earlier than expected?"

At this moment, the soul power within Yu Hengqing's body had run dry, and the throbbing pain in his meridians constantly stimulated his entire nervous system.

"Xiao Qing, there is someone behind you, be careful!"

Hearing Leiyi's warning, Yu Hengqing, who had been about to take some medicine to restore his strength, turned around instantly. He tore the pendant from his neck, gripped it tightly in his hand, and stared fixedly at the thicket before him.

A graceful figure stepped out from the bushes, asking in an extremely gentle voice, "How did you get so badly hurt? Was it Xiong Jun's doing?"

Looking at the woman with green hair and emerald eyes dressed in emerald-green robes, Yu Hengqing's heart sank.

If Bi Ji is here, that proves Di Tian has awakened as well. If I can survive this, I will do my best to never come to the Star Dou Forest to hunt soul beasts again!
