It's Not That I Won't Help You, Brother—It's That I'm Afraid of Dying Too!

King Gigi was somewhat surprised to see Er Ming get back up again, but that was all. He was merely a soul beast that had not even reached a hundred thousand years; King Gigi could kill him with a flick of his hand.

"Fool!"

King Gigi shouted coldly, then lightly waved the cane in his hand forward.

In an instant, Er Ming seemed to freeze in place. King Gigi then stepped forward and lightly tapped Er Ming with his scepter.

"Boom!"

With a loud crash, Er Ming fell straight to the ground.

"You still want to fight me?"

King Gigi clapped his hands, his face full of disdain.

"Er Ming!"

The Azure Sky Bull Python roared furiously, then fixed its gaze tightly on Qin Feng.

"Did he die?"

Qin Feng also looked at King Gigi in confusion. Didn't I tell you to leave him alive? How did you kill him?

"He's not dead. He still has one breath left."

King Gigi waved his hand. Isn't he still breathing? What are you panicking for?

"Humans! You deserve to die!" the Azure Sky Bull Python roared furiously.

"Oh?"

Just after the Azure Sky Bull Python spoke, Qin Feng sensed the birds flying around them slow down.

"Slowing Domain."

Qin Feng was not surprised in the slightest, since this was the Azure Sky Bull Python's innate domain.

"What innate domain? Didn't I still one-shot him?"

King Gigi cut in at that moment. Even though Maomao was not here, dealing with two hundred-thousand-year soul beasts was no problem.

"Die!"

The Azure Sky Bull Python's tail suddenly lashed out from the water, sweeping toward Qin Feng and the others.

"Meow! Perfect, grilled python meat for dinner today."

Fat Wave had clearly set its sights on this premium ingredient as well. It leaped down from Bald Strong's body, looked at the incoming tail, licked its paw, then slapped it against the Azure Sky Bull Python's tail.

"Pssh!"

Fat Wave's claws effortlessly tore through the Azure Sky Bull Python's scales.

"Moo!"

The Azure Sky Bull Python howled in pain, then stared at Fat Wave in shock and disbelief. Why? Why does heaven want me dead? Two hundred-thousand-year soul beasts!

"Roar!"

Just as everyone thought this hunt would end perfectly, a roar suddenly came from deeper within the forest, carrying immense soul power.

"Damn! A soul beast over five hundred thousand years old?"

King Gigi smacked his lips. He had not expected such hidden powerhouses here. He had thought there were only two pieces of trash, but there was someone even stronger.

"Humans! Considering that your cultivation has not come easily, leave at once."

The newcomer transformed from a flood dragon into human form and stared coldly at Qin Feng and the others.

"Di Tian?"

Qin Feng called out directly. Who are you trying to intimidate? Do you really think everyone is afraid of you?

Hearing that someone knew him, Di Tian turned his eyes toward Qin Feng. How does he know my name?

"Keep talking nonsense, and you'll be staying here too."

"Clap! Clap!"

Qin Feng clapped twice, and the five brothers hidden in the shadows instantly appeared.

"Greetings, Master."

Led by Yuan Yi, the five called out respectfully.

Di Tian was bewildered by the sight. These five haven't even reached level ninety-nine. Do they really think they can deal with me with just these people?

"Are you sure you won't leave?"

Qin Feng asked again, while the Azure Sky Bull Python beside him looked full of hope. Please don't leave! If you leave, us brothers are finished!

"Hmph! I'd like to see what you can do!"

Di Tian snorted and stood in front of Da Ming. He truly did not believe this rabble could defeat him.

Meanwhile, Er Ming, who still had one breath left, silently shed tears. Why aren't you standing in front of me? I'm the one who needs protecting, aren't I?

"You won't give up until you see the coffin."

Qin Feng snorted coldly and waved his hand. The five brothers beside him clearly understood.

"How many trump cards does he have?"

Chrysanthemum Pass had long since been won over by Qin Feng's methods. Every time he thought Qin Feng had revealed all his trump cards, Qin Feng would summon someone even stronger whenever he encountered an opponent he could not defeat.

Bibi Dong beside him frowned, then let out a heavy sigh.

"If it's only these five, don't make a fool of yourselves." Di Tian could not help but mock them.

"Wipe your dog eyes clean and watch closely."

Yuan Yi immediately fired back at Di Tian's mockery. Anyone could mock others; strength was what truly mattered.

Di Tian's face turned green upon hearing that. No one had dared speak to him like that for countless years. The grass atop the graves of those who had said such things to him had grown over two meters tall.

Yuan Yi and the others stood in a pentagonal formation. A glowing array then appeared beneath their feet, enveloping all five of them.

"A five-person martial soul fusion skill!"

Bibi Dong's face was filled with shock. Yu Xiaogang's three-person martial soul fusion skill, formed with a level twenty-nine soul master, could contend against a level eighty Soul Douluo. Then...

The thought alone sent a shiver through Bibi Dong. A five-person martial soul fusion skill made entirely of Titled Douluo above level ninety could make even a level ninety-nine expert seem helpless before them.

"What!"

The elders of the Hall of Elders shouted in shock. They had never even seen a five-in-one martial soul fusion skill before. Fortunately, they had not become his enemies.

"Martial Soul Fusion Skill! Lithe Phoenix!"

The five spoke at once. A white phoenix instantly appeared in the sky, its tail adorned with several azure feathers.

"Screech!"

The Lithe Phoenix soared through the sky as if breaking free from a cage, then lowered its head to look at Di Tian. Its sharp eyes were filled with disdain.

"Damn, why do I feel like I can't beat it?"

Di Tian looked up at the Lithe Phoenix and muttered to himself. Especially after sensing the pressure emanating from it, he became even less confident.

"How about now?" Qin Feng asked with a smile.

"Now? You're barely qualified."

Di Tian still stubbornly refused to back down. If I admit I can't beat them, won't I lose all my face? Who would recognize me as their boss afterward?

"Heh, is that so?"

Qin Feng chuckled. His mouth was the only thing on him that was tough, but Qin Feng liked people with stubborn mouths.

"Sigh! I gave you a chance, but you didn't cherish it!"

Qin Feng sighed, then looked toward Di Tian with lightning-like eyes.

"Screech!"

As if receiving an order, the Lithe Phoenix dove down at top speed, and the sound of air tearing filled the surroundings.

"Gasp!"

Di Tian sucked in a cold breath. If that thing bites me once, wouldn't that be the end of me?

"Python brother, ape brother, it's not that I won't help you, brothers. It's just that you can see the situation too, I... sigh!"

Di Tian hurriedly cupped his hands toward the two of them, then transformed into a black dragon and flew into the distance without the slightest hesitation, as though he would be dead if he delayed even one more second.

"?"

Da Ming stood there blankly. Didn't you say you came to help me? Why did you leave?

"Wuwuwu... I didn't expect to be meeting my great-grandmother so soon!"

Er Ming lay weakly on the ground and cried softly. I'm still young! I don't want to meet my great-grandmother so early! I still have so many good years of beast life ahead of me!

"Damn... fine!"

Qin Feng was somewhat speechless as he watched Di Tian fly away. His mouth really was tough, but he really did abandon his teammates fast.
