Orcs Will Never Be Slaves

A jade-green streak of light rose from beside Bear Monarch in the distance.

As if it had crossed space itself, the jade-green figure arrived before Chen Ping'an in the blink of an eye.

She was a stunning beauty, with long jade-green hair cascading down her back and jade-green eyes to match.

Her tall, slender figure was perfectly outlined by a flowing aqua-green dress, while her arms, white and tender as lotus roots, were left bare.

Most unusual of all was the pair of wings on her back, as if carved from gemstones.

Every feather on those jade-green wings was dazzling and brilliant, their vivid green overflowing with the aura of life.

"Who exactly are you?"

Bi Ji hovered in midair as well, meeting Chen Ping'an's gaze.

She did not dare act rashly.

Chen Ping'an sized up Bi Ji. Even the fourth-ranked Bi Ji was this formidable.

Then wouldn't the third-ranked Snow Empress be...

"Stop talking nonsense with him. He came to our territory, so we'll make sure he never leaves."

Bear Monarch transformed into human form and came to Bi Ji's side.

"Oh? Looks like that little bear of yours didn't learn its lesson just now."

The Immortal Slaying Sword condensed in Chen Ping'an's hand.

The moment the Immortal Slaying Sword appeared, an invisible pressure instantly spread through the air.

"It's even stronger than before."

Bear Monarch and Bi Ji both swallowed hard as that heart-pounding sensation returned.

As for the Sky Azure Bull Python and the Titan Giant Ape, they had long since fled to the other side of the lake.

"I'll give you two choices. One, obey me. Two, be sent on your way right here."

"You only get one chance. If you choose wrong, there will be no room for regret."

As Chen Ping'an spoke, he condensed the Immortal Execution Sword as well.

The moment the Immortal Execution Sword appeared, the already-present pressure became even more terrifying. The two auras intertwined, and even Bi Ji could not withstand such horrifying pressure.

"Orcs will never be slaves!"

As Bear Monarch shouted those words, his body rapidly expanded. He had clearly entered a berserk state.

At the same time.

Eighteen blood-red soul rings slowly rose beneath the two swords.

Under the radiance of those eighteen blood-red soul rings, even the sky turned crimson.

Endless pressure radiated outward from their center.

The pressure brought by Chen Ping'an's Twin Martial Souls had already shocked Bi Ji.

But the appearance of eighteen soul rings utterly shattered her composure.

Even Bear Monarch was dumbfounded.

"Three golden patterns. Nine 300,000 Year Soul Rings, nine 100,000 Year Soul Rings..."

In their understanding, Chen Ping'an could only possess such a configuration after hunting nine Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts and nine 300,000-year soul beasts.

They had lived for so many years, yet they had never heard of anyone like him. If someone had truly hunted that many soul beasts, it would have caused an uproar long ago.

Then this man must have lived in an even more ancient era, before they were even born.

"Seventh Soul Skill—"

"I choose the first option!"

Before Chen Ping'an could finish, Bear Monarch spoke up.

No matter how strong his will was, he softened beneath those eighteen blood-red soul rings.

He had fought Chen Ping'an head-on before.

Even without using soul skills, Chen Ping'an had been able to handle him with ease.

If he used soul skills, wouldn't that mean complete domination?

"Mm."

Chen Ping'an nodded in satisfaction, then looked toward Bi Ji.

Bi Ji hesitated for a moment.

Then her expression changed, and she declared resolutely, "Orcs will never be slaves!"

"Ninth Soul Skill - Immortal Slaying!"

"Ninth Soul Skill - Immortal Execution!"

Chen Ping'an did not hesitate and directly unleashed his Ninth Soul Skills.

In an instant, the winds and clouds shifted dramatically.

Without a second thought, Bi Ji turned and fled.

But beneath that terrifying pressure, her speed became incredibly sluggish.

Moreover, she had been locked onto by two great soul skills.

No matter where she ran, it would ultimately be futile.

Two enormous swords appeared in the sky, their blades shining with blinding brilliance. They seemed capable of tearing apart the heavens, emanating boundless might.

Even Bear Monarch felt suffocated within the range of that attack.

"My lord, please show mercy! You absolutely cannot kill her!"

Bear Monarch directly stepped in front of Chen Ping'an. Bi Ji was the only soul beast in their core area with healing abilities.

If she were killed, it would be a tremendous loss for them.

Moreover, Bi Ji had shown him kindness before.

"Those who submit to me prosper. Those who defy me will be sent on their way immediately."

Bear Monarch was blasted flying with a single strike.

The two enormous swords tore through the air from the sky.

The instant they were grasped by the Martial Soul Avatars, the world turned blood-red.

Bi Ji was completely locked onto as the two giant swords came crashing down.

"I regret this so much."

In that instant, the sensation of death made Bi Ji regret everything.

"No!!!" Bear Monarch's eyes widened, his face filled with despair.

However, just as the giant swords were about to strike Bi Ji.

A beam of white light shot out from the center of the lake, forming a shield that covered the entire Lake of Life and blocked the swords' attack.

Yet after that single blow, the barrier shattered completely.

"Even the barrier left behind by Lord Dragon God was destroyed."

Although Bi Ji had narrowly survived.

It had triggered a defense left behind long ago to protect the Lake of Life.

This defense would only appear when the Lake of Life faced a devastating attack.

That meant Chen Ping'an's strike had been enough to destroy the entire Lake of Life.

Having experienced the ordeal between life and death, Bi Ji finally set aside her pride of 'orcs will never be slaves.'

"I choose the first option!"

Only after hearing Bi Ji's answer did Chen Ping'an put away the Immortal Slaying Sword and the Immortal Execution Sword.

"Mm, not bad. Knowing how to correct your mistakes is a great virtue. You're a good child."

Only then did Bear Monarch let out a sigh of relief.

The other fierce beasts had yet to emerge.

If Bi Ji had refused, Chen Ping'an would sooner or later slaughter his way through the entire Star Dou Great Forest.

Too terrifying.

It was simply too terrifying.

Perhaps only Di Tian can fight him. But he's only level ninety. If he reaches level ninety-nine, who could possibly stop him?

Bear Monarch thought to himself.

Bi Ji also obediently came to Chen Ping'an's side.

"Since you've chosen to follow me, leave the Star Dou Great Forest. I'll conceal the aura of your soul beasts for you."

Chen Ping'an patted Bi Ji on the shoulder and concealed her soul beast aura in passing.

She was now no different from an ordinary soul master.

After her aura was concealed, Bi Ji appeared to possess the strength of a level ninety-eight Super Douluo.

Bear Monarch appeared to be a level ninety-seven Super Douluo. Although he was only level ninety-seven, his terrifying strength was enough to rival a Peerless Douluo.

"Alright. From now on, you two will stay by my side and learn to behave properly."

Only then did Chen Ping'an nod in satisfaction.

With these two Super Douluo around, he would not need to personally deal with every troublesome matter he encountered.

Most importantly, Bi Ji was an Emerald Swan.

She still had plenty of charm.

After Chen Ping'an left with them, only the Sky Azure Bull Python and the Titan Giant Ape remained, left standing in the wind in utter confusion.

Chen Ping'an had never even given them a proper glance, because their levels were not high enough to deserve it.
