Killing and threats

Before Ah Rou could even cry out, Lu Xuan pushed her into the pitch-black hole.

"Aunt Rou!"

Upon seeing this Sky Azure Bull Python and the Titan Giant Ape roared in unison, their hearts filled with turbulent emotions.

They never expected that Lu Xuan would act so decisively and ruthlessly, directly pushing Ah Rou into the realm of the [Life and Death Arena].

Seeing the two Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast rushing towards him with anger, Lu Xuan remained calm. With a thought, he released Dugu Bo, Dugu Xin, and Ye Renxin from his Spiritual Space.

Without Lu Xuan giving any orders, Dugu Bo charged straight at the Sky Azure Bull Python. At the same time, Dugu Xin and Zhao Yan launched their attack together, the two figures carrying fierce offensives as they relentlessly attacked the Titan Giant Ape.

Lu Xuan's eyes were cold and clear. He immediately cut off all the auxiliary amplifications that were on the two Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, and instead poured all the enhancements into his own group.

With this shift in power, the delicate balance of power between the two sides was instantly shattered, the gap in strength was widened dramatically, and the advantage in the battle completely shifted to their side.

Ye Renxin, who was standing to the side, had already noticed the injuries Zhao Yan had sustained when he blocked the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger earlier. Without delay, she immediately activated the Nine Heart Begonia Martial Soul, and the gentle, pure milky white Soul Power flowed out slowly, precisely enveloping Zhao Yan and healing his minor injuries.

While keeping an eye on the three people locked in combat ahead, Ye Renxin also caught a glimpse of the floating black hole not far away. A chilling and dangerous aura emanated from it, and he frowned slightly, asking, "Is this the domain created by the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger?"

"That's right." Lu Xuan nodded slightly and explained in a deep voice, "[The Life and Death Arena] is the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's strongest killing move, and also its trump card for survival. However, this move comes at a great cost; once used, it consumes a huge amount of its Soul Power."

"If no one enters the domain, the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger can easily retract this move and flee without suffering too much Soul Power loss." Lu Xuan sneered, "But just now, I already threw that transformed Soft Bone Rabbit in."

"Once the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger emerges from the [Life and Death Arena], its Soul Power will be exhausted, turning it into a much weaker, sickly tiger than it is now," Lu Xuan said confidently. "At that time, it will be the best opportunity for me to kill it and obtain its Soul Ring."

"Just like that, we threw a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast into the domain?" Although Ye Renxin understood that the current situation could only be like this, he couldn't help but feel regretful and sighed inwardly at the Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring and Soul Bone that could have been obtained.

"So what if it's lost?" Lu Xuan said calmly, as if the matter was insignificant. "Consider it the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's last hearty meal before its death."

If a Ferocious Beast is 50,000 years old devours the original power of Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, even if it cannot completely digest and absorb it, its own foundation will be enhanced in a short period of time, and its strength will be even stronger than before.

On the distant battlefield, Dugu Bo and his two companions had firmly suppressed two Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast.

The Titan Giant Ape was already severely injured, and under the combined onslaught of Dugu Xin and Zhao Yan, its condition became increasingly unbearable.

On the other side, the Sky Azure Bull Python also suffered severe losses in combat power, and was tormented by Dugu Bo's poisonous skills, leaving it covered in wounds.

Just as the Sky Azure Bull Python was on the verge of death, he hurriedly called out, "Xin'er!"

"They're here!"

Dugu Xin responded and unleashed his full power to activate his Soul Bone Skill, [Purple-Gold Firmament Cannon]!

This was his most powerful, trump card attack; a dazzling beam of purple-gold light erupted and struck the Sky Azure Bull Python's heart directly.

"Boom~"

A deafening explosion rang out.

The Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, which had been so ferocious and arrogant just moments before, was directly killed by this fatal blow.

"Big brother!"

Seeing the Sky Azure Bull Python perish, the Titan Giant Ape let out a heart-wrenching roar.

Its heart was filled with extreme grief and indignation. Knowing that it had reached a dead end, a resolute and fierce light ignited in its eyes. It secretly mobilized all its Soul Power, intending to self-destruct.

They would rather their physical body Soul Core turn to ashes than leave their Soul Ring and Soul Bone to these humans before them.

Just as it was about to detonate itself, Lu Xuan's icy voice slowly rang out, carrying an undisguised threat. "If you dare to self-destruct, I will go to the Lake of Life and kill that rabbit."

"Roar!"

The Titan Giant Ape let out a roar that shook the mountains and forests.

In its heart, Xiao Wu's life was far more important than its own, and it absolutely could not allow the threat posed by the person in front of it to come true.

The Soul Power surging to the critical point suddenly contracted, and it forcefully suppressed the thought of self-destruction. However, it still did not give up and wait for death. Its muscles were tense, ready to fight back at any moment.

Seeing that the threat had worked, Lu Xuan breathed a slight sigh of relief.

If these words had been spoken before the Sky Azure Bull Python was killed, these two Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast would have fought desperately to the death.

But now that the Sky Azure Bull Python has perished, Ah Rou is trapped in the Life and Death Arena, the Titan Giant Ape is worried about Xiao Wu's safety and, fearing the consequences, no longer dares to choose to perish together with her.

These humans are far too powerful. If I die, Xiao Wu will inevitably fall into their hands.

"Humans!"

The Titan Giant Ape roared and launched a fierce attack, but before it could even begin, Dugu Bo's deadly poison silently seeped into its body.

The poison rapidly spread throughout his body, Titan Giant Ape collapsed heavily to the ground, its eyes bloodshot, gritting its teeth and roaring, "If you dare to harm Xiao Wu... I will never let you go!"

"You think you can?" Lu Xuan sneered, slowly saying, "After I absorb the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's Soul Ring, you will be the one to sacrifice yourself. As long as you cooperate obediently and preserve your best Soul Skill, I can guarantee that I won't actively hunt down this Xiao Wu you mentioned."

"You should understand." Lu Xuan pointed to the group around him, his tone calm yet carrying an undeniable air of authority. "We have five people here with the combat power of Titled Douluo. If I weren't reluctant to waste your Soul Ring and Soul Bone, I wouldn't be saying another word to you here."

"Their Soul Ring are already complete; there's no need for them to try and steal the rabbit's Soul Ring."

"I demand that you swear an oath!" Having recognized the vast difference in strength between the two sides, the Titan Giant Ape spoke in a deep voice, "All of you must swear on your own Martial Soul that you will never harm Xiao Wu in the slightest."

On the Douluo Continent, the Martial Soul Oath carries immense binding force and is not a casual remark. If they are willing to make this oath, what harm is there in sacrificing their lives, Soul Ring, and Soul Bone!

"Very well." Lu Xuan raised his hand and took out the [Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud], speaking loudly, "I swear in the name of the Sea God..."

"Wait!" the Titan Giant Ape suddenly shouted, his voice icy cold. "You don't even believe in the Sea God, so this oath is invalid! I want you to swear an oath with your own Martial Soul!"
