Myriad Demon King

That bellow...

Another Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast?

Very soon, the owner of that bellow revealed its true form.

What appeared before Golden Crocodile Douluo was an enormous python so terrifying it defied description. Its body was blackish-blue, immensely massive, yet it possessed a huge bull's head. The head alone was over four meters in diameter, and its eyes shone like a pair of lanterns.

"Aunt Silver, thankfully we knew you were coming to see us today and stayed nearby. Otherwise, the consequences would have been unimaginable!"

This was... the Sky Azure Bull Python?

This Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast Transformation had actually summoned two Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts from the Star Dou Great Forest?

Golden Crocodile Douluo frowned slightly, but there was not the slightest hint of retreat in his heart.

Before consuming the Immortal Herb, when he had only been a level ninety-eight Peak Douluo, he might have needed to weigh his options against two Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts working together. But now, he had broken through to level ninety-nine and become a Peerless Douluo!

He was determined to capture this Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast Transformation today!

The first, second, and fifth Soul Rings beneath Golden Crocodile Douluo's feet lit up almost simultaneously.

In an instant, a layer of dazzling golden armor appeared around Golden Crocodile Douluo's body.

First Soul Skill, Golden Crocodile's Strength—increased his attack power and strength by one hundred percent! Second Soul Skill, Golden Evasion Armor—increased all his attributes by one hundred and twenty percent, as well as his defense by one hundred and fifty percent!

With the effects of the two Soul Skills stacked together, Golden Crocodile Douluo's aura surged dramatically.

Then, the massive Golden Crocodile King raised its foot and smashed it viciously toward the Titan Giant Ape!

The Titan Giant Ape showed no intention of backing down. It pounded its sturdy chest twice with its powerful arms, then charged straight at Golden Crocodile Douluo.

Fearing that the Titan Giant Ape would suffer a disadvantage, the Sky Azure Bull Python joined it and took the initiative to collide with Golden Crocodile Douluo.

Boom!!!

Amid a deafening blast, Golden Crocodile Douluo did not move an inch. Yet the massive bodies of the Titan Giant Ape and the Sky Azure Bull Python were sent staggering backward, crashing into the ground and kicking up clouds of dust.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Golden Crocodile Douluo reached out and seized the defenseless Ah Yin in his hand.

"Damn human! Let Aunt Silver go!"

"Why hasn't Aunt Rou made a move yet!?"

Aunt Rou?

Golden Crocodile Douluo froze slightly, and a chill abruptly rose in his heart.

That transformed Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast had just cried out, "Ah Rou, save me."

In other words, there was another Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast lurking in the shadows?

If that Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast named Ah Rou had been hiding nearby, waiting for an opening to attack him, that would have been manageable. But if her target was Bibi Dong and Little Jing...

Golden Crocodile Douluo's expression changed slightly. Before he could act, a crisp voice suddenly rang out behind him. "Human, I advise you not to make any rash moves. Otherwise, I do not mind letting this boy die before your eyes."

As the voice fell, a snow-white rabbit emerged from the forest while holding Ling Jing hostage. The cultivation it displayed was unmistakably that of a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast!

Moreover, beside the large white rabbit was a slightly smaller rabbit. Judging from its aura and Soul Power fluctuations...

Though this little rabbit had yet to reach a Hundred-Thousand-Year cultivation, it was not far from it.

Three Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts, one Soul Beast infinitely close to a Hundred-Thousand-Year cultivation, and one Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast Transformation!?

Since when did Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts start appearing in groups!?

Golden Crocodile Douluo was both shocked and furious. When he discovered that this Hundred-Thousand-Year Soft-Boned Charming Rabbit was holding only Ling Jing hostage, he was even more alarmed.

Bibi Dong... what had happened to Bibi Dong, who had been protecting Little Jing!?

Just as that thought arose, Bibi Dong's figure suddenly rushed out.

However, Bibi Dong was no longer the graceful Holy Maiden she had been. There was a conspicuous streak of blood at the corner of her lips, her aura was somewhat weak, and she limped as she walked, looking utterly disheveled.

Although Bibi Dong's Soul Power Level had already reached seventy-nine, she had yet to break through to become a Titled Douluo, nor had she added Soul Rings to her second martial soul. Faced with the joint assault of the Hundred-Thousand-Year Soft-Boned Charming Rabbit and Xiao Wu, whose cultivation was close to a Hundred Thousand Years, Bibi Dong had found it difficult to withstand them, much less protect Ling Jing behind her.

Noticing Golden Crocodile Douluo, who was nearly surrounded by the Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts, then looking at Ling Jing being held hostage by that Hundred-Thousand-Year Soft-Boned Charming Rabbit, Bibi Dong instinctively clenched her fists.

Damn it!

Bibi Dong could not help cursing inwardly as a wave of helplessness rose within her.

In the current situation... the advantage was no longer on their side.

Golden Crocodile Douluo alone simply could not protect them and get them all out safely. Even though that transformed Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast was in their hands, Little Jing was now in the hands of that Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast!

If... if she had been stronger, would Little Jing have avoided this disaster? She was the Holy Maiden of Spirit Hall, and at only twenty years old, her Soul Power Level had already reached seventy-nine... What use was any of that!? She still could not protect Little Jing. She could only watch helplessly as he was taken away by a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast!

All this time, Bibi Dong had actually been proud of her cultivation and talent.

But at this moment, that pride was utterly shattered.

Against a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, she had no way to protect Little Jing at all.

A flash of purple light flickered through Bibi Dong's eyes.

Golden Crocodile Douluo also felt some regret at this moment—he had never expected these Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts to arrive with reinforcements so quickly, much less that one of them would understand military tactics and capture Little Jing first.

As for Bibi Dong... failing to protect Little Jing was not her fault.

If only he had brought two more Titled Douluo... If he had not become arrogant after breaking through to level ninety-nine, he would not have fallen into this situation.

Golden Crocodile Douluo took a deep breath, his voice icy. "If you dare lay a hand on Little Jing, I can guarantee... the Star Dou Great Forest will never know peace again! My Spirit Hall will surely raze the entire Star Dou Great Forest to the ground!"

The Hundred-Thousand-Year Soft-Boned Charming Rabbit, Ah Rou, Xiao Wu's mother, did not yield in the slightest under the pressure.

After hearing Golden Crocodile Douluo's words, she even sneered. "Then it seems this boy I captured truly carries enough weight. Human, understand your situation. He is in my hands, yet you dare threaten me instead?"

As she spoke, Ah Rou tightened her grip slightly. Ling Jing immediately felt a faint sense of suffocation.

However, Ling Jing was not particularly panicked.

Though being captured and held hostage by a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast was indeed a novel experience in life.
