Without any struggle, the massive body of the Golden Sacred Dragon collapsed to the ground, losing all vital signs.
Qi Ling's Tyrant Dragon Fist inflicted a devastating blow on the Golden Sacred Dragon, causing it to suffer a complete internal destruction. Even with the Dragon Clan's powerful vitality, it couldn't even manage to survive, let alone be healed.
Supported by Meng Yiran, Meng Shu arrived before the Golden Sacred Dragon. After examining the cause of its death, he exclaimed in shock, "I never imagined that you, young friend, possessed such destructive power! It truly is astonishing!"
Looking at the miserable state of the Golden Sacred Dragon, Meng Yiran secretly felt lucky. Not long ago, she had thought she could compete with him. She was really overestimating herself.
"I was just lucky. If Senior Meng hadn't broken through its defenses, even if I had punched it ten more times, it wouldn't have been hurt at all," Qi Ling said.
Just then, a black, Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring emerged from the massive body of the Golden Sacred Dragon. Its color was as black as ink, and it clearly contained extremely astonishing energy.
Since the final blow to the Golden Sacred Dragon was delivered by Qi Ling, this Soul Ring already belongs to Qi Ling. Even if he doesn't absorb it, others can only watch helplessly, unable to absorb it at all.
"What a pity. This Golden Sacred Dragon's Soul Ring is practically a treasure. If it weren't for Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring, it would be worthy of being used as the Ninth Soul Ring," Meng Shu said regretfully.
The quality of Soul Ring depends on both its age and the quality of the Soul Beast. The Golden Sacred Dragon is undoubtedly a top-grade Soul Beast, high enough to make its age irrelevant.
"What's even more unfortunate is that you only have two Soul Ring, right? This Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring is something you can't absorb; you can only let it dissipate on its own," Meng Shu said.
Qi Ling smiled at this moment, cupped her hands in greeting to Meng Shu, and said, "Senior, to be honest, the reason I took action was precisely because of the Golden Sacred Dragon's Soul Ring."
"Oh? You mean you can absorb this ten-thousand-year-old Dragon Ring?" Meng Shu exclaimed in surprise. "Impossible, impossible! This is only your Third Soul Ring, how could you possibly absorb Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring!"
"To be honest, senior, I was born with Twin Martial Souls, and I've already absorbed two Thousand-Year Soul Ring!" Qi Ling said. "Therefore, for this Third Soul Ring, I'm already capable of absorbing Soul Ring that's over ten thousand years old."
Upon hearing Qi Ling's words, Meng Shu nodded in agreement, finding the explanation quite reasonable.
"In that case, young friend, hurry up and absorb this Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring," Meng Shu said. "We've been through thick and thin together, so there's no need for further words. I will protect you until you've finished absorbing this Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring."
Qi Ling was overjoyed. Meng Shu was truly a good person. Not only did he not blame her for her impure motives, but he also enthusiastically protected her. He was worth befriending.
Meng Yiran chimed in, "That's right, Qi Ling, hurry up and absorb this Soul Ring. Don't worry, with my grandfather here, no one will bother you."
"Then I shall respectfully accept your offer!" Qi Ling said, revealing her Divine Dragon Emperor Martial Soul and beginning to absorb the Golden Sacred Dragon's Soul Ring.
After returning to the town and treating Ma Hongjun's poison, the rest of the Shrek members immediately went back to the Star Dou Great Forest. They were worried that Qi Ling would be unable to resist taking action once she discovered her target, since showing off was a common trait among almost all men.
However, Qi Ling had already finished hunting the Golden Sacred Dragon and begun absorbing its Soul Ring. Without the dragon's roar as a guide, finding Qi Ling in this forest was like searching for a needle in a haystack.
As night fell, Zhao Wuji had no choice but to lead the group to a stop, intending to find a safe place to camp, rest, and regroup before making further plans.
After all, this is the Star Dou Great Forest, the territory of Soul Beast. Traveling at night is far too dangerous, and an accident could have extremely serious consequences.
The group quickly set up their tents, lit a campfire, and sat down together.
"Can we not go Boss Qi?" Ma Hongjun asked worriedly.
Zhao Wuji snorted coldly and said, "That brat is lucky and will be fine. You guys should take care of yourselves first!"
" The Star Dou Great Forest is a completely different world during the day and at night. Many ferocious Soul Beast hunt at night, and even the most experienced Soul Master dare not explore the Star Dou Great Forest at night."
Oscar then said worriedly, "But if that's the case, isn't Boss Qi in danger right now? Will he be alright?"
Oscar's words immediately caused everyone to worry, but Xiao Wu said at that moment, "No, Brother Qi is fine now, I can feel it!"
"A feeling? Xiao Wu, how did you feel that?" Oscar asked doubtfully. "You can't exactly say it's a woman's sixth sense, can you?"
"Of course it's not something so superficial! Brother Qi, Brother San, and I are on the same wavelength!" Xiao Wu said, hands on her hips, clearly dissatisfied.
"In the past, whenever my Brother San and I were in danger, Brother Qi could sense it and rush over as quickly as possible! Later, I was also able to sense whether Brother Qi was in danger to a certain extent."
This wasn't Xiao Wu bragging; it was because Qi Ling's Divine Dragon Emperor Martial Soul, as the supreme being among the Dragon Clan, was born with the ability to understand the will of heaven and could foresee the fortunes of those closest to him.
Qi Ling has no parents and no ties in this life, so Xiao Wu Qi Ling Tang San, as his younger siblings, are naturally the people he cares about most.
Over time, perhaps because Xiao Wu's identity was special and Qi Ling's Martial Soul was closer to that of Soul Beast, Xiao Wu also acquired this ability. However, the only person she could sense was Qi Ling.
After hearing Xiao Wu's explanation, everyone was immediately relieved. After all, Xiao Wu was the person who knew Qi Ling best, and they couldn't have imagined that Qi Ling would be in danger.
Just as Zhao Wuji said, if anyone from either of their groups were to perish, it would definitely be someone from their group.
"Haha, since Boss Qi isn't in danger, do you think he's enjoying himself?" Ma Hongjun said jokingly again. "After all, Boss Qi has a beautiful woman by his side!"
"Nonsense, Brother Qi would never do that!" Xiao Wu said firmly.
"Hey, that's not necessarily true, Xiao Wu. After all, those two are alone in the middle of the night. A man and a woman alone together, like dry wood meeting a raging fire, it's not impossible for something to happen!" Ma Hongjun continued, courting disaster.
When Xiao Wu heard someone talking about her Brother Qi like that, she naturally wouldn't let Ma Hongjun off the hook. So the two of them started playing around again, which immediately eased the tense atmosphere among the crowd.
Zhao Wuji laughed as he watched these guys fooling around, but in the next instant, the smile on Zhao Wuji's face vanished without a trace, replaced by an expression of panic and fear!
