Tang Jian laughed heartily and stuffed the Soul Bone into Tai Long's hand, "The young sect leader said it's for you, so take it! We're brothers, why bother with these things? If you're stronger, our whole team will be safe! Hurry up and absorb it, stop dawdling!"
Tai Long was once again moved to tears, clasping his hands in a deep fist salute. "Thank you, Young Sect Master! Thank you, Brother Jian! Tai Long will certainly live up to your expectations!"
After Soul Bone, Tai Long not only gained more strength in his right arm, but also acquired a powerful active attack Soul Bone Skill called " Berserk Heavy Strike," which grants his next attack a berserk bonus for a short period of time. His overall physique and strength foundation were further solidified, and his Soul Power broke through to level 43.
The group continued their journey to find a suitable Soul Beast for Zhu Zhuqing.
The series of successful Soul Hunting, while steadily improving the team's strength and increasing their teamwork, inevitably fostered a sense of "disdain" for this ancient forest in the minds of the younger members.
However, the real danger sometimes does not come from those Soul Beast that follow the law of the jungle.
Two days later, just as the team continued to venture deeper into the area inhabited by Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beast,
"Several powerful auras are approaching us from the three o'clock direction, about 800 meters ahead. Everyone be on guard!"
Tang Feng keenly sensed a strong fluctuation of Soul Power ahead.
Before long, heavy footsteps and a rumbling, earth-shaking sound could be heard from the dense forest ahead.
Five exceptionally tall and robust figures, like five moving hills, roughly parted the bushes and appeared in Tang Feng and the others' field of vision.
They were all dressed in heavy, gray-white leather armor, with dark, rough skin. The most striking features were their exceptionally well-developed muscles and the iconic Elephant Armor Sect Clan!
The two leaders, both over two meters tall, stood like two iron towers, their seven Soul Ring pulsating around them—clearly two Soul Saint level experts! Behind them followed a Soul Emperor and two Soul King.
The members of the Elephant Armor Sect had clearly also noticed Tang Feng's young team.
When they saw that there were several outstanding young women in the group, each with a different temperament, their eyes flashed with undisguised amazement and greed.
"Hahaha! I thought we'd run into some tough nut to crack, causing such a commotion, but it turns out to be just a bunch of wet-headed kids with a few pretty young girls looking for a thrill in this Wannian District?"
An old man with a face full of scars and a tangled beard, Soul Saint, grinned widely, his voice loud but full of lewdness.
Another Soul Saint with a sinister gaze licked his thick lips, his eyes sweeping over Zhu Zhuqing's aloof face, her alluring figure, and Ning Rongrong's delicate features. "Tsk tsk, this quality... truly rare."
Then, pointing at Tang Feng and the others, he threatened, "Kids, leave these beauties here to play with us, and you'd better get the hell out of here. If I'm in a good mood, I'll spare your lives. But if you dare say no..."
He clenched his fist, which was as big as a vinegar jar, and the knuckles cracked like popping beans, his threat obvious.
The other three members of the Elephant Armor Sect let out a cacophony of strange laughter, their eyes darting brazenly over the girls as if they were appraising merchandise.
Anger ignited instantly within the team.
Tang Feng's eyes suddenly turned icy cold, and his aura became chilling. Oscar, Tang Jian, and Tai Long also showed anger on their faces.
A flash of murderous intent crossed Zhu Zhuqing's eyes, and the other girls were also filled with disgust.
"When did the Elephant Armor Sect become a despicable sect that robs people on the road and spews vulgarities?" Tang Feng stepped forward, his voice calm but carrying a chilling aura.
"You little beast! You're courting death!" The Soul Saint who had spoken earlier roared in fury, his fleshy face trembling. "How dare you insult my Elephant Armor Sect! Today, none of you will live!"
"The insignificant Elephant Armor Sect is nothing but a lackey of the Spirit Hall. So what if we insulted you?" Tang Feng's lips curled into a cold smile, his contempt undisguised.
The five Elephant Armor Sect Soul Master were enraged. At the same time, they activated their Martial Soul Possession, and in an instant, five enormous Giant Mammoth appeared. Thick, earth-yellow Soul Power erupted, and a heavy pressure swept over the sky.
They clearly didn't take the group of young people in front of them seriously and intended to crush them with overwhelming force.
However, when Tang Feng and Tang Jian raised their hands almost simultaneously, two giant hammers, entirely dark gold and exuding an aura of immense weight and dominance, appeared out of thin air.
" The Clear Sky Hammer?! You... you're from the Clear Sky Sect?!"
The pupils of the two Soul Saint shrank sharply, and their arrogance was instantly replaced by fear.
But when they saw the Soul Ring that Tang Feng and the others displayed, the highest being Tang Feng, a Six-Ring Soul Emperor, flashed a fierce light in the sinister Soul Saint's eyes, and he shouted sharply, "Attack! Kill them all, leave no one alive! We absolutely cannot let them take the message out!"
Since we've completely offended them, we must silence them!
"Roar!"
Five deep, resonant elephant roars rang out almost simultaneously, and a thick, earth-yellow aura of Soul Power covered their entire bodies like a tangible armor, while an oppressive force pressed down like a mountain.
The two Soul Saint took the lead, charging straight at Tang Feng like two mad war elephants, determined to eliminate the leading Soul Emperor as soon as possible!
A great battle erupted instantly!
"Leave those two Soul Saint to me. Tai Long and Little Ao, protect Rongrong and Sister Lingling! The rest of you, proceed with the plan. Rongrong, boost!" Tang Feng spoke rapidly, yet with perfect clarity.
" Nine Treasures Turn Into Glazed Glass!" Ning Rongrong, already poised for action, immediately shouted upon hearing this, and the dazzling Nine Treasures Glazed Pagoda shone brightly. "First: Strength! Second: Speed! Third: Soul! Fourth: Control!"
Four beams of colorful light flew out precisely, landing on Tang Feng, Tang Jian, Dugu Yan, and Zhu Zhuqing respectively. Received a comprehensive boost, and the four's auras soared.
At the same time, Dugu Yan retreated, and her third and Fourth Soul Ring lit up one after another. The Jade Phosphor Purple Poison and Jade Phosphor Bewildering Smoke spread rapidly as if they had a life of their own, mixing into a deadly poisonous veil that instantly enveloped the five members of the Elephant Armor Sect who were rushing towards her.
Although the Elephant Armor Sect possessed astonishing defensive capabilities and strong resistance to toxins, this mixed poisonous fog still greatly interfered with their vision and perception. The corrosive power contained within the poisonous fog was also constantly eroding the Soul Power armor on their bodies.
" Clear Sky Domain!" Tang Feng no longer held back, and a heavy pressure, seemingly from the primordial era, spread out from him! Within a radius of a hundred meters, the air seemed to freeze.
The five members of the Elephant Armor Sect felt their bodies suddenly sink, and their movements, which were already somewhat clumsy due to the characteristics of their Martial Soul, became even slower. Even the circulation of their Soul Power was suppressed by an invisible force.
Immediately afterwards, Tang Feng's first and Second Soul Ring flashed in succession, and his strength and attack power surged once again. His figure soared into the sky, and the Clear Sky Hammer in his hand shone with golden light!
" Third Soul Skill, Lava Purgatory Hammer!"
He soared into the sky, and the dark gold Clear Sky Hammer in his hand suddenly burst forth with a blazing golden-red light. The hammerhead seemed to transform into a miniature volcano about to erupt, with molten lava energy flowing and radiating a high temperature that could incinerate everything.
Tang Feng descended like a god, carrying the terrifying force of a meteor falling to earth, and smashed his hammer fiercely towards the two Soul Saint charging at the front!
"BOOM!!!"
The deafening roar shook the earth violently.
Centered on the point of impact, a lava crater with a diameter of over thirty meters was instantly formed. Inside the crater, golden-red magma churned and roared, and scorching air waves exploded in a ring, instantly scorching the surrounding trees!
The two Soul Saint were the first to be hit. Their earth-yellow Soul Power armor sizzled and fluctuated violently as it was burned. The intense heat penetrated their defenses, causing their hair to curl and their skin to burn.
Their mammoth Martial Soul phantoms also emitted uneasy hissing in this suddenly appearing lava hell.
Fifth Soul Skill, Heaven-Burning Meteor Strike!
A fierce glint flashed in Tang Feng's eyes, and he unleashed his Soul Power wildly.
A deep and violent Heaven-Burning Demon Fire erupted from the Clear Sky Hammer, twisting and rising into the sky before splitting and condensing into four enormous hammer shadows, each over five meters in diameter and entirely composed of dark red demonic fire!
Like four burning meteors, carrying the aura of destruction, they crashed down from the sky!
Two of the swords precisely locked onto the two Soul Saint who were slowed down by the lava zone, while the other two slammed into the area where the other three were located!
"Scatter!"
The Yinzhi Soul Saint roared in horror, but under the dual restrictions of the lava zone and the Clear Sky Domain, their movement was like being stuck in a quagmire.
"Boom boom boom boom!"
Four terrifying explosions rang out, almost overlapping each other!
The Demonfire Hammer landed, bringing not only a terrifying scorching heat of three thousand degrees, but also a powerful shockwave that sent enemies within range staggering and dizzy.
