Yan took one step forward, flames surged behind him, and a wave of heat instantly swept across the entire area.
In the blink of an eye, the towering, ferocious phantom of a Flame Giant suddenly emerged behind him. Its scorching aura seemed capable of setting the entire forest ablaze.
At the same time, four Soul Rings—yellow, yellow, purple, and purple—abruptly appeared beneath his feet, shining brilliantly!
As his furious shout rang out, Yan stomped hard on the ground. His figure transformed into a streak of fiery afterimage and shot straight toward Yu Tianheng!
"Hmph!"
"Other people may fear you, but I don't!"
With a cold laugh, Yu Tianheng shouted angrily as well. His Blue Electric Tyrant Dragon Martial Soul fully manifested, lightning coiled around him, and his aura was no weaker. The power of his three Soul Rings erupted completely as he raised his fist to meet Yan head-on!
"Boom—!!"
Yu Tianheng and Yan collided fist and palm.
In an instant, the surrounding air seemed to tear apart. The explosion rang out like crashing thunder, and a dazzling ripple of Soul Power violently spread outward from the two of them, sweeping in every direction.
The ground trembled violently, sending dust flying!
Immediately afterward, both men grunted and retreated at the same time.
Yan took three steps back. With a shake of his body, he steadied himself, crimson flames rolling endlessly around him. His breathing remained perfectly calm.
Yu Tianheng, on the other hand, retreated five or six steps before barely managing to stop. His chest heaved violently, his face slightly pale, and he almost failed to catch his breath.
"Tianheng!" Seeing this, Dugu Yan's expression changed. She hurried forward, grabbed Yu Tianheng's arm, and asked worriedly, "How are you? Are you hurt?"
"I'm fine." Yu Tianheng waved his hand and gritted his teeth.
At that moment, Yan narrowed his eyes and stared coldly at Yu Tianheng, a trace of killing intent showing in his gaze.
Hu Liena, who stood behind Yan, also focused her eyes. She slowly walked forward several steps, her gaze falling on the Martial Soul phantom behind Yu Tianheng, and said in a low voice:
"You're from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan?"
As soon as she said this, she exchanged a glance with Xie Yue beside her. A hint of shock flashed in both their eyes. Then, without hesitation, they each stepped forward!
In an instant, two surging auras of Soul Power were released simultaneously!
A strange Golden Fox Phantom appeared behind Hu Liena, its nine illusory tails curling upward. Meanwhile, two extremely slender purple Moon Blades appeared in Xie Yue's hands, their crescent-like edges gleaming coldly beneath the fluctuations of Soul Power.
Four Soul Rings—yellow, yellow, purple, and purple—slowly rose from beneath their feet!
The pressure of their Soul Power swept toward everyone from the Imperial Dou Team like a tsunami!
The air instantly froze!
"What are you trying to do?" Qin Ming's expression darkened as he looked at the scene before him. He suddenly stepped forward to the very front and shouted sternly, "Soul Beasts are ownerless creatures. We attacked and killed it only to protect ourselves. Is Spirit Hall trying to provoke a conflict? Do you want me to report this matter to the Two Great Empires?"
Hearing this, Hu Liena frowned slightly and gave a cold laugh without replying.
"The Soul Beast hunted by our Spirit Hall belongs to our Spirit Hall!" With a cold laugh, Xie Yue slowly raised his hand. A cold gleam appeared on his Moon Blade, and his killing intent stirred.
A great battle seemed about to break out!
However, at that very moment—
"Rumble—"
A violent tremor suddenly came from the ground!
At first, it was only a slight vibration, but in the next second, the shaking abruptly intensified. It was as though an earth dragon had turned over, making everyone stagger on their feet!
"What's going on?" Hu Liena knitted her brows, her body pausing slightly as she asked in confusion.
"An earthquake?"
Xie Yue's expression changed slightly. He instinctively concentrated his Soul Power in his legs to steady himself.
"Look!" Ye Lingling was the first to cry out in alarm, pointing toward the distance.
Not far away, large swaths of dense trees were actually collapsing at a bizarre speed, as though they were being swept away by some invisible flood. The sound of their falling formed an unbroken line, like a field of wheat being cut down.
It seemed that something was charging wildly toward them!
At the same time, Tang Chuan, who had been secretly watching everything from behind a large tree, also sensed that something was wrong.
He slowly turned his head and looked at the rolling Smoke and Dust approaching him. His expression grew solemn.
"What... is going on?"
His eyelids twitched violently. Tang Chuan felt an inexplicable pressure.
"No." His expression changed again. Tang Chuan silently released his Blue Silver Grass Spirit, connecting it to the blades of grass in the distance as his Spiritual Power continued to extend outward.
Behind the billowing dust and smoke, the figures of Hundred-Year and Thousand-Year Spirit Beasts surged toward him densely, like a flood.
Among them were a three-meter-tall Steel Armored Rhino, a Shadow Wolf covered in Pitch Black mane, and a Purple Spotted Scorpion Tiger with venom dripping from its tail... He could even see several flying Soul Beasts circling in the sky.
There were no fewer than thirty or forty Soul Beasts charging at the very front alone. Deeper in the distant haze of dust, even more indistinct beast shadows were rapidly approaching!
At this moment—
Even the favored geniuses of Spirit Hall and the Imperial Dou Team could not help but turn pale with shock.
"This is... how could there be a Soul Beast rampage?!" Hu Liena looked as though she had witnessed something unbelievable, standing there in a daze.
"We're doomed." Dugu Yan's face was deathly pale, her voice trembling.
"How is this possible? A Soul Beast tide of this scale..." Qin Ming's expression also changed drastically. He suddenly turned around and shouted, "Everyone! Retreat toward the outskirts of the forest immediately!"
Amid the rolling Smoke and Dust, a huge figure flashed into view. It was a completely golden Soul Beast with a third eye growing from its forehead.
"Three-Eyed Golden Lion?!"
Staring at the scene before him, Tang Chuan sucked in a cold breath and blurted out.
"Fuck, so it was coming for me?"
"How did it know I was here?"
Tang Chuan's expression changed abruptly, and he had no time to think.
The next second, his figure blurred. He stomped hard on the ground and shot forward like an arrow released from a bow, tearing through the air as he fled at full speed in the direction opposite the approaching Soul Beasts!
Meanwhile, on the open ground—
The Imperial Dou Team and the people from Spirit Hall were completely dumbfounded.
"Whoosh!"
A figure suddenly leaped out from among the treetops in the distance. Moving with the agility of a leopard and incredibly swift steps, it sped toward the outskirts of the forest.
Immediately afterward, a series of sounds split the air from within the forest.
While the Imperial Dou Team and the people from Spirit Hall were still stunned, Tang Chuan actually flashed past them right in front of their eyes before fleeing at top speed.
His speed was astonishing. In the blink of an eye, he had already covered dozens of meters!
"Hm? Was that a person?" Hu Liena slightly furrowed her brows and stared at the fleeing figure in confusion.
"That figure feels strangely familiar." Dugu Yan focused her gaze and blurted out.
"What are you still looking at?! Run!!!" Seeing this, Qin Ming suddenly roared. He immediately circulated his Soul Power, released his Martial Soul, and shielded the students with his body.
Hearing his explosive shout, the members of the Imperial Dou Team and the Spirit Hall Team panicked at once. Only then did they come to their senses. Their expressions changed drastically, and disregarding the hostility between them, they turned and ran!
As everyone fled in chaos, the dense forest ahead suddenly opened up.
A huge figure abruptly blocked their path. It was a Soul Beast whose entire body was as red as flames, shaped like a lion, yet possessing three ferocious heads.
P.S. These chapters are transitional chapters, so the pace will be a little slower. Things will get better once the protagonist reaches Heaven Dou City.
