Three-Eyed Golden Lion, the Emperor Auspicious Beast!

But Wang Dong's attacks were too fierce, and he also had Instantaneous Shift and Intangibility. His figure flickered in and out of sight, leaving Zhongli Di utterly unable to pin down his position.

Every time Zhongli Di thought Wang Dong was about to strike him, Wang Dong suddenly appeared in another direction, the Clear Sky Hammer whistling through the air as it smashed viciously toward his vital points.

Zhongli Tian watched from the side, his expression growing uglier by the moment. He had never expected this brat to be so difficult to deal with.

A Two-Ring Soul Grandmaster was actually holding his own against two Soul Saints with nothing but the Clear Sky Hammer and those bizarre skills. Just where had this brat come from?

He gritted his teeth, a vicious gleam flashing through his eyes. They could not drag this out any longer. If they did, the brat might actually escape.

He let out a low shout, and the Netherworld Snake lunged at Wang Dong, its tail becoming a black afterimage as it tried to coil around him.

"Second Soul Skill, Snake Shadow!"

Sensing the danger behind him, Wang Dong flickered and activated Intangibility. His entire body turned insubstantial, and the snake's tail passed straight through him without catching anything.

Zhongli Tian's expression changed. This brat actually had a skill like that!

Wang Dong evaded the attack with Intangibility, then solidified again and slammed the Clear Sky Hammer toward Zhongli Di. Caught off guard, Zhongli Di took the blow to his shoulder and was sent flying backward, spitting out a mouthful of blood.

Damn it!

But Zhongli Di soon got back to his feet. He was a Soul Saint, after all, and recovered quickly.

If that brat had not kept dodging with those two absurd skills, Instantaneous Shift and Intangibility, he would have died long ago.

"Damn it, this brat is still just a Two-Ring Soul Grandmaster... His soul power reserves can't possibly compare to ours."

Zhongli Tian spoke through gritted teeth.

In the end, Wang Dong was still no match for them. The gap in soul power was simply too great. As a Level 30 Soul Elder facing two Soul Saint-level experts, it was already a miracle that he had lasted this long.

If he could obtain his third soul ring and fourth soul ring, he might have a chance to escape. But now, more than half his soul power had been depleted, and he could barely even hold the Clear Sky Hammer steady.

He dropped to one knee, gasping for breath. Cold sweat covered his forehead, and even his vision had begun to blur.

Watching Wang Dong pant for breath, Zhongli Tian curled his lips into a cruel smile.

"Can't hold on anymore, brat? Don't worry. I won't let you die that easily. That bloodline of yours is good stuff. I noticed earlier that your blood contains an incredibly domineering power. If we refine you into a human puppet, you'll definitely be more valuable than an ordinary ten-thousand-year soul beast."

Zhongli Di also chuckled, greed gleaming in his eyes.

"The boss is right. Even though our third brother is crippled, it's no big problem. Once we absorb this brat and refine him into a high-quality human puppet, we might still have a chance to restore our third brother after becoming Titled Douluos. We won't lose out on this deal. We might even use it to break through to Soul Douluo, or reach for an even higher level."

Wang Dong gritted his teeth, a fierce unwillingness surging through his heart. He refused to accept falling here like this.

He could not die here. He tried to summon the remaining soul power within him for one final desperate attempt, but his body felt as though it had been hollowed out. He did not even have the strength to stand.

At that moment, when his life hung by a thread, an astonishing beast's roar suddenly rang out.

The sound was deep and majestic, carrying an indescribable pressure, as though it came from a savage beast of the primordial wilderness. It shook the leaves throughout the dense forest into trembling rustles.

Zhongli Tian and Zhongli Di's expressions changed, and both turned toward the source of the sound.

A golden figure slowly emerged from the dense forest not far away.

She was an extraordinary beast, enormous in size and several meters tall. Golden fur covered her entire body, glittering brilliantly in the sunlight, as though every strand contained tremendous energy.

Her body resembled a lion's, but her limbs bore razor-sharp dragon claws. With every step she took, the ground trembled slightly, leaving deep claw prints behind.

Her gaze was aloof and sacred, like a sovereign perched high above, looking down upon all things in the world with an inviolable majesty.

Most striking of all were the three eyes on her forehead. The two on either side were golden, gleaming with wisdom.

The middle eye remained shut, yet faintly radiated a terrifying aura, as though it contained the power to destroy heaven and earth, making others afraid to look directly at it.

Wang Dong's pupils contracted sharply. He recognized her at a glance. The Three-Eyed Golden Lion! The Emperor Auspicious Beast!

The embodiment of the Star Dou Great Forest's fortune! In the original story, she was a top-tier soul beast who could battle a hundred-thousand-year soul beast with only ten thousand years of cultivation. She was the most exalted existence in the Star Dou Great Forest.

Why was she here? Had she sensed the commotion and come over specifically to investigate?

Zhongli Tian and Zhongli Di also saw the extraordinary beast. A flicker of shock crossed their eyes before being replaced by greed.

Although they did not recognize the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, as Evil Soul Masters, they were extremely sensitive to the auras of soul beasts.

The aura radiating from this extraordinary beast was stronger than that of any soul beast they had ever seen, even more terrifying than the ten-thousand-year soul beast they had hunted before.

If they could turn her into a beast puppet, they might have a chance to reach Super Douluo, or even Limit Douluo!

"Boss, this soul beast is something else!" Zhongli Di swallowed, his eyes brimming with greed. "Her aura alone is stronger than any soul beast we've ever seen. If we catch her, we'll strike it rich!"

Zhongli Tian nodded as well, a crazed gleam flashing in his eyes. "Attack! Capture her at any cost! Once we refine her into a beast puppet, our future will be limitless!"

Driven by greed, the two completely forgot Wang Dong's existence and charged straight at the Three-Eyed Golden Lion. However, they soon regretted it.

The Three-Eyed Golden Lion watched the two men charging toward her, a trace of contempt flashing in her golden pupils, as though she were looking at two ants courting death.

She let out a low roar, and two entirely different powers erupted around her-ultimate fire and ultimate light!

Golden flames gushed from her body, carrying a scorching heat as though they would burn everything to nothing.

The surrounding vegetation turned to ash the instant it touched those flames, and even the ground was scorched until it cracked.

At the same time, a dazzling beam shot from her third eye, illuminating the entire dense forest as though a blazing sun had descended upon the mortal world.

Under the searing heat of ultimate fire, Zhongli Tian's Netherworld Snake martial soul actually hissed in agony. Its black scales began to crack, releasing billows of black smoke.

Zhongli Di's Netherworld Snake was struck directly by ultimate light and let out a shrill scream. Its soul power dispersed wildly, melting away as swiftly as ice and snow beneath a blazing sun.

"Impossible!" Zhongli Tian's expression changed drastically. The Netherworld Snake martial soul he took such pride in was actually this helpless before the extraordinary beast.

Ultimate fire and ultimate light perfectly countered his Netherworld Snake's attributes, leaving him unable to wield even thirty percent of his strength.

He tried to flee, but the Three-Eyed Golden Lion gave him no opportunity. The golden flames formed a wall of fire, cutting off his retreat.

The light shooting from her third eye pierced straight through his chest like a laser.

Zhongli Tian looked down at the bloody hole in his chest, his eyes filled with disbelief. He opened his mouth, trying to say something, but could not utter a single word. His body slowly collapsed, hitting the ground and raising a cloud of dust.

At the sight, Zhongli Di was frightened out of his wits and turned to run. But the Three-Eyed Golden Lion was faster. Her golden figure flashed, and she appeared before him. With a sweep of her dragon claws, she tore him clean in two.

Blood splashed across the ground. Zhongli Di's body fell heavily, twitched a few times, then lay still.

Watching this unfold, Wang Dong felt an indescribable surge of satisfaction. These two Evil Soul Masters deserved worse than death!

He struggled to stand, only to find that his body was still terribly weak.

But he soon realized something was wrong. After killing Zhongli Tian and Zhongli Di, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion slowly turned around and walked toward him.
