Bi Ji

When Shrek students from commoner backgrounds, such as Chen Zifeng, Gongyang Mo, Yao Haoxuan, and Ling Luochеn, suffered such devastating casualties, what were Xuan Zi, Yan Shaozhe, and Xian Lin'er doing?

They were being held up by Ye Xishui.

Thus, they had been unable to save Chen Zifeng, Gongyang Mo, Yao Haoxuan, and Ling Luochеn from the Death Messenger's Corpse Explosion.

This made far more sense than the explanation the Tang Family had given in the Divine Realm during Huo Yuhao's previous life: that this scene had been the plane consciousness paving the way for Huo Yuhao, the son of the plane.

At this moment, Gongyang Mo and Ling Luochеn had already lost consciousness. Ling Luochеn's buttocks were drenched in blood. Had they not been far from the exploding Wind Wolf corpses, they would surely have numbered among the dead.

Compared with the students of commoner birth, whose bodies had been mangled almost beyond human recognition, the divine descendants and aristocrats gathered around Xiaoxiao-Dai Yueheng and his brother Dai Huabin, Zhu Lu, Ma Xiaotao, Ning Tian, Tang Ya, Xu Sanshi, Jiang Nannan, and the others-were in much better shape. Only Xu Sanshi, Tang Ya, and Jiang Nannan had suffered injuries to their backs and fingers, for although their martial souls had formed from a god's aura, making them aristocrats, they were not divine descendants.

This was the effect of Xiaoxiao, a girl whose true forms were actually the Three-Life Soul-Suppressing Cauldron, a divine artifact that suppressed fortune, and the Nine-Phoenix Ceremonial Flute, a divine artifact that soothed fortune.

But just then, Ma Xiaotao's heart suddenly skipped a beat. Seeing her former classmates dead or wounded instantly stirred the evil fire within her.

"Damn you! You Sun Moon dogs, who stop at no evil-you all deserve to die!"

"Xiaotao, what are you doing? Come back! It's dangerous!" Tang Ya could not help warning her.

Seeing that she could not persuade Ma Xiaotao, Tang Ya suddenly felt her own heart skip a beat. Then, as though struck by a flash of inspiration, she charged out after Ma Xiaotao.

"Those poor children... it was all me... all my fault, my fault..."

In midair, Xuan Zi, who was battling Ye Xi Shui alongside Shrek Academy's many experts, caught sight of the scene below. He immediately put on the appearance of a weeping child, little pearls of tears spilling endlessly from his eyes.

But just as Xuan Zi sank into this self-reproach and guilt, a huge black hand condensed from immense soul power suddenly appeared and snatched Tang Ya and Ma Xiaotao away!

"You vile dogs of the Holy Spirit Cult! I'll fight you to the death..." Xuan Zi roared.

Huo Yuhao, who was on his way to the Star Dou Great Forest, naturally sensed what had happened in Mingdu's western hills, especially the instant Ma Xiaotao's heart had skipped a beat.

For at that moment, the fortune of the nations of Douluo, which had begun to disperse, recovered considerably. In other words, Tang Hao's actual control over Douluo Star had recovered considerably as well.

The first change this brought was that the soul beast attacks Huo Yuhao encountered in the Star Dou Great Forest became more dangerous and deadly.

Snow Girl and Huo Yuhao immediately stood back to back, gazing at the herds closing in from every direction. Thanks to the holographic projection of the herds' scale shared through Huo Yuhao's Spiritual Detection Sharing, Snow Girl's expression was as grave as his.

It was a dark, densely packed beast tide. At its forefront were Brain-Eating Beasts with long, grotesque tongues, creatures that fed on the brains of all manner of living beings.

Behind these Brain-Eating Beasts were Sub-Dragons of various kinds, each more than thirty-five meters long. They were packed so densely that even a rough glance revealed a vast, seething mass.

Farther behind them came towering fluctuations of life-attribute soul power, though these fluctuations carried no particularly extreme ferocity.

"Brain-Eating Beasts are among the most aggressive beings in the Soul Beast Clan. Wherever they pass, every living creature has its brain sucked dry and dies a horrific death. From the looks of things, a powerful being deep in the Star Dou Great Forest must be exterminating these Brain-Eating Beasts. Their escape route just happens to pass along the road we're on." Snow Girl's cool voice had become distinctly heavy.

There were six Brain-Eating Beasts with the cultivation of Six-Ring Soul Emperors. Against the pair's apparent Five-Ring Soul King cultivation, they clearly posed an inescapably lethal threat.

As Snow Girl explained this to Huo Yuhao, her voice gradually grew timid and faint.

Huo Yuhao was left speechless. "Xue'er, aren't you a little too good at pretending? My Xue'er, as one of the former Three Great Heavenly Kings of the Far North, you shouldn't find it difficult to deal with these monsters, should you?"

"Yuhao, let's do as you said earlier. I'll take the lead and deal with these fellows. You support me. I need to prepare!" Seeing that Huo Yuhao had no intention of showing off before her, Snow Girl spoke up.

"No problem!" Hearing Huo Yuhao's reply, Snow Girl instinctively glanced at him, only to discover in astonishment that a Huo Yuhao had appeared in front of every Brain-Eating Beast ahead.

The six Huo Yuhaos looked exactly alike. All were solid bodies; not one was an illusion formed from soul power, for each possessed precisely the same soul power as the single Huo Yuhao Snow Girl had sensed earlier.

Each of the six Huo Yuhaos held a soul tool light sword, though their grips differed, some holding their swords horizontally and others vertically.

Snow Girl looked at these "Huo Yuhaos." Without another word, she sat down where she was and drew her spiritual sense entirely back into her body.

At that moment, the six Huo Yuhaos began fighting the Brain-Eating Beasts in front of them.

The leading Brain-Eating Beast abruptly shot out its tongue, lashing toward Huo Yuhao's brow. Had an ordinary person been standing before it, their forehead would have split open in the next instant, spilling out all their brains.

But the Huo Yuhao standing before this Brain-Eating Beast suddenly gave a sharp whistle, gathered his strength, and swung his sword! The moment his soul tool light sword struck the beast's lashing tongue, he felt his arm lose its strength.

Snow Girl's icy countenance now gained a touch of animation. As she sat quietly on the ground, every breath she released made the air ripple like water. The Brain-Eating Beasts held back by Huo Yuhao immediately sensed danger.

Just as they seemed to force Huo Yuhao onto the defensive and were about to come within ten paces of Snow Girl, she suddenly opened her eyes and declared in a commanding voice, "Soul skill: Absolute Zero!"

An iridescent white halo instantly spread outward, strengthening every ice attribute within its bounds. "Emperor's Palm, Great Cold Without Snow!"

This strike of Great Cold Without Snow differed from its usual form. There was no surging, wave-crashing might-only a sudden flash of white that enveloped every Brain-Eating Beast.

In an instant, however, all the Brain-Eating Beasts became frozen icicles.

Judging by their postures, they had clearly been frozen from the inside out before they could even realize what had happened.

Once frozen, the Brain-Eating Beasts' blood and vitality rapidly withered, and even their ferocious auras swiftly dissipated.

"Crack, crack..." Amid the continuous sound of shattering glass, the Brain-Eating Beasts died on the spot, one after another.

What followed was a densely packed mass of Sub-Dragons...

Then do we keep fighting? Seeing that the Brain-Eating Beasts they had been chasing had been dealt with by two humans, the Sub-Dragons were all bewildered.

In the world of soul beasts, they were considered close to true dragons, and their intelligence was by no means low.

"Senior, I presume you are Bi Ji, the Beast God's wife? I have something to discuss with the Beast God. Might he be willing to meet me?"

After Huo Yuhao spoke, green light shimmered across the area, seemingly covering a diameter of thirty thousand meters.

The Sub-Dragons stopped in their tracks.
