Emerald Swan Bi Ji

"Slow Domain!"

Just as the Immortal Slaying Sword and Immortal Execution Sword were about to fall, the Sky Azure Bull Python finally arrived.

Yet the Slow Domain it unleashed lasted only 0.01 seconds.

But for the Sky Azure Bull Python, 0.01 seconds was enough.

The instant it entered the Immortal Slaying Domain, the Sky Azure Bull Python felt as though it had entered hell.

The overwhelming killing intent and sword qi instantly inflicted considerable superficial wounds upon it.

But there was no time to waste. The Sky Azure Bull Python's tail lashed out, sending the Titan Giant Ape flying.

The Immortal Slaying Sword and Immortal Execution Sword then struck the Sky Azure Bull Python's tail, cleaving it directly into two pieces.

The instant the Immortal Slaying Sword and Immortal Execution Sword descended, terrifying Soul Power erupted.

A bluish-white radiance burst forth from the swords, expanding at a speed visible to the naked eye.

It enveloped the Sky Azure Bull Python and Titan Giant Ape, and the terrifying energy within severely wounded them both.

Then came a massive explosion that flattened everything within a hundred li. Not a single soul beast within that range survived; all of them died!

Blood gushed from the Sky Azure Bull Python's severed tail, staining the surrounding earth red.

Still, the two of them had managed to keep their lives.

Chen Ping'an looked coldly at the barely living Sky Azure Bull Python. "What a Sky Azure Bull Python. What a fine way to survive by sacrificing your tail."

"My brother and I bear no grudge against you. Why have you gone on such a killing spree?!"

The Sky Azure Bull Python circulated its Soul Power to forcibly stop the bleeding, propping up its already feeble body as it met Chen Ping'an's gaze.

Although the Titan Giant Ape had not been struck directly, the remaining shockwaves and omnipresent sword qi still wounded it badly.

If even an ordinary Titled Douluo happened upon it now, they would be enough to take its life.

"No grudge? How ridiculous. It is only natural for soul masters to hunt soul beasts. My soul rings are already full, otherwise I would have killed you myself. As for the two of you, I'll leave you for my student. For now, I'll spare your lives."

The Sky Azure Bull Python and Titan Giant Ape were, after all, hundred-thousand-year soul beasts.

Once Zhu Zhuqing reached the level of Titled Douluo, he could bring her to the Star Dou Great Forest to hunt these two soul beasts.

Besides, at their level, there was nowhere they could truly escape to.

The only concern was Bibi Dong.

However, according to the original plot's development, Bibi Dong would still need a long time before coming to hunt soul beasts. He could only hope no accident occurred.

"Damn human! Once we recover from our injuries, we will slaughter every last one of you!"

After leaving behind that threat, the Titan Giant Ape grabbed the Sky Azure Bull Python and sped away.

Though the two brothers had both suffered grave injuries, as long as they returned to the core of the Star Dou Great Forest and their lake, they would soon heal themselves.

Chen Ping'an watched the Sky Azure Bull Python and Titan Giant Ape rapidly depart.

"I wonder whether Di Tian exists. If he does, things will get interesting. And that little bug..."

Looking at the devastation all around him, Chen Ping'an put away the Immortal Slaying Sword and Immortal Execution Sword.

He left the area and headed a hundred li away to find Zhu Zhuqing.

On the way, he casually captured a soul beast around seven thousand years old, as well as one that was twelve thousand years old.

Both soul beasts had been prepared for Zhu Zhuqing.

They were both close to the limit of what Zhu Zhuqing could endure.

Of course, if Zhu Zhuqing could not withstand them, Chen Ping'an would step in and help her perfectly fuse with the two soul rings.

After Chen Ping'an left the battlefield.

The Sky Azure Bull Python and Titan Giant Ape also returned to the core of the Star Dou Great Forest. By the time they got back, they had only their last breaths left, and they lay quietly in the lake.

It was then.

A jade-green radiance rose into the sky.

"You two were actually injured this severely."

"Emerald Light Wave!"

A soft voice sounded. Green light shone upon the Sky Azure Bull Python and Titan Giant Ape, restoring more than half of their injuries.

The Sky Azure Bull Python's wound closed, and it even showed signs of beginning to regrow.

"Thank you, Senior."

Only after finally recovering somewhat did the Sky Azure Bull Python slowly speak its thanks.

Although the Sky Azure Bull Python and Titan Giant Ape guarded the core of the Star Dou Great Forest, they were merely gatekeepers. The true powerhouses were other soul beasts.

Those soul beasts were all in slumber.

The one who had treated them was none other than Emerald Swan Bi Ji, ranked fourth among the Ten Ferocious Beasts.

Bi Ji asked, "It is nothing. Who injured you so badly, yet still let you leave?"

The Sky Azure Bull Python answered, "It was a human with Twin Martial Souls. His first Martial Soul had nine three-hundred-thousand-year soul rings, while his Second Martial Soul had nine hundred-thousand-year soul rings."

"What?"

Bi Ji fell into deep thought. How could there possibly be so many high-cultivation soul beasts for someone to hunt?

Even if there were, a first soul ring could not possibly be three hundred thousand years old.

"Senior, that man's strength is far too terrifying. Please inform that one."

Whenever the Sky Azure Bull Python recalled Chen Ping'an's sword strike, cold sweat broke out all over its body.

"I understand. You two should recover properly for now."

Bi Ji nodded, then vanished once more.

It was clear that she had gone to find the person the Sky Azure Bull Python had mentioned.

That person was Beast God Di Tian.

Di Tian was currently in secluded cultivation and knew absolutely nothing about what was happening outside.

The other Ten Ferocious Beasts were also in secluded cultivation, and nothing had happened to them.

Had the auras of these two gatekeepers not been so weak, Emerald Swan Bi Ji would not have appeared to treat them.

"What should we do now? Sister Xiao Wu is still in their hands."

After recovering more than half of his injuries, the Titan Giant Ape looked into the distance with a face full of sorrow.

Even Da Ming was no match for that man. The only one capable of contending with him was Beast God Di Tian.

"From what he said, Sister Xiao Wu will not be harmed for the time being. Once that lord emerges from seclusion, we will launch a beast tide and bring Sister Xiao Wu back."

The Sky Azure Bull Python was equally helpless. Its strength was only comparable to that of a level 97 Titled Douluo, perhaps even slightly inferior.

Its opponent, however, could unleash attacks comparable to those of a god. Only Beast God Di Tian could contend with him.

"Sigh..."

The Titan Giant Ape sighed and submerged itself back into the lake.

At the same time.

The battle in the Star Dou Great Forest had also reached Spirit Hall and the two great empires.

They all knew that mysterious powerhouse had made a move.

This time, Qian Daoliu even personally came to the battlefield.

"What a terrifying aura. This man is no weaker than I am!"

After leaving behind those words, he returned to the Worship Hall.

The appearance of such a powerhouse shook his Dao heart.

As a god's spokesman, he could tell from the scene that Chen Ping'an's strike had already reached the level of a divine skill.

Had he been there, he likely would not have been able to withstand it.

After Qian Daoliu left, Bibi Dong also arrived at the scene. She gave the same assessment before departing.

As for the insignificant figures from the two great empires, all they could say was that it was fucking awesome.
