"Everyone, be on high alert and prepare to meet the enemy!" Zhao Wuji shouted, simultaneously summoning his Martial Soul and attaching it to his body.
Everyone was bewildered by Zhao Wuji's sudden action, except for Xiao Wu, who seemed to sense something and showed an expression that was hard to tell whether it was surprise or delight.
" Teacher Zhao, what's wrong? What happened?" Dai Mubai's White Tiger Martial Soul was also summoned. Anything that could make Zhao Wuji so nervous was definitely not a trivial matter.
Zhao Wuji did not answer Dai Mubai's question, because there was no need to. In the direction Zhao Wuji was looking, the trees were easily parted to the sides, and a huge figure silently walked out.
Upon seeing this figure, everyone was so astonished that they almost forgot to breathe. It was a colossal being, as large as a mountain, and even though it was on all fours, its shoulder height exceeded seven meters.
If it stood upright, its height would probably exceed fifteen meters!
Its striking appearance made Tang San recognize it at a glance; it was the uncrowned king of the forest, the Titan Giant Ape!
Faced with such a terrifying behemoth, everyone lost the courage to fight it, and even Zhao Wuji could only think about how to escape.
"Your Majesty, King of the Forest, we have no intention of offending your territory. We are merely passing through and seeking temporary lodging," Zhao Wuji said cautiously. "If you mind, we will leave immediately."
But Zhao Wuji's words clearly had no effect. The Forest Titan made only one move, and everyone's hearts were in their throats.
It took a step forward! Just one step, and it had greatly reduced the distance between itself and the Shrek group, almost to the point of face-to-face confrontation.
Seeing that the communication was fruitless, Zhao Wuji made a tough decision and charged directly at the Titan Giant Ape. At the same time, he instructed Dai Mubai to immediately lead everyone away from here.
But how could the Shrek Seven Devils abandon Zhao Wuji and try to escape? None of them chose to leave; instead, they all unleashed their strongest powers, intending to fight the Forest Titan to the death.
Dai Mubai unleashed the White Tiger Vajra Transformation, causing his muscles to swell dramatically, almost bursting through his clothes!
He and Zhao Wuji charged forward together, taking on the main offensive role while also drawing fire for the others.
Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing circled around to the flanks, ready to provide support at any moment;
Tang San summoned his Blue Silver Grass and took command from the center;
Oscar and Ning Rongrong maximized their role as support Soul Master;
Ma Hongjun's Phoenix Fire Line became their best long-range firepower.
This was the strongest power that the Shrek Devils could muster; they were confident they could even put up a fight against a Soul Douluo.
But if that were all it took to defeat the Forest Titan, how could it be called the King of the Forest?
Despite their exquisite teamwork, they were utterly ineffective against the overwhelming power of the Forest Titan!
After knocking Zhao Wuji back with a single palm strike, it unleashed a roar that sent everyone present flying and shattered their formation.
Everyone used all their strength to minimize the damage they suffered, but then the Titan Giant Ape charged again, its massive body descending from the sky and crashing down in the direction where everyone was gathered.
Fortunately, the Titan Giant Ape's attack was a wide-area killing move. Although its power was astonishing, the group managed to protect themselves by using the surrounding environment.
However, at this moment, no one felt any joy at escaping death, because the Forest Titan reached out its hand in mid-air and actually caught Xiao Wu in its grasp.
" Xiao Wu!" Everyone cried out in grief as they saw Xiao Wu fall into the hands of the Titan Giant Ape!
Tang San, in particular, was furious, his body changing direction several times in mid-air as countless Hidden Weapon flew towards the Titan Giant Ape, aiming for its eyes.
With his elder brother gone, how could he face Qi Ling if something happened to Xiao Wu? How could he, as the older brother, possibly live with himself?
Zhao Wuji, who also witnessed this scene, no longer held back. All seven of his Soul Ring lit up simultaneously, and he activated his strongest Soul Skill, Martial Soul Avatar, determined to snatch Xiao Wu back.
Faced with such a huge gap in strength, their final struggles were of little use.
Tang San's Hidden Weapon was blocked by the Titan Giant Ape's outstretched hand, failing to even pierce its fur. The Hidden Weapon aimed at its eye was easily blocked by the Titan Giant Ape's closed eyelid.
Although Zhao Wuji, who had unleashed his Martial Soul Avatar, had increased in size by more than three times and his height to five meters, he was still like an infant in front of a behemoth like the Forest Titan.
"Roar--" Zhao Wuji let out a roar like a real bear, and unleashed his incredibly Great Strength Vajra Palm towards the Titan Giant Ape.
The Titan Giant Ape carefully put away Xiao Wu in its left hand, then its right hand collided head-on with Zhao Wuji.
Although Zhao Wuji was not knocked away this time, he still staggered back seven or eight steps before regaining his footing. His right hand trembled slightly, clearly indicating that he was no longer able to fight.
The Titan Giant Ape, however, seemed completely unaffected. It roared at the crowd and turned to leave.
"No--" Tang San let out a heart-wrenching scream as he watched the Titan Giant Ape's departing figure!
He, who never believed in gods, prayed to all the gods in his heart, saying that he would pay any price to save Xiao Wu.
Just as Tang San finished praying to the gods in his heart, suddenly, a golden light as bright as the sun shone out, attracting everyone's attention, including that of the Titan Giant Ape.
Amidst the dazzling golden light, a figure, seemingly Lower God, emerged from the forest, his entire body covered in imposing golden armor, every movement exuding unparalleled divine might.
At that moment, Tang San truly believed that a god had appeared and an invincible Lower God to help him overcome his difficulties.
But upon closer inspection, he was astonished to discover that the person before him was not a god at all, but none other than his elder brother, Qi Ling!
Not long ago, Qi Ling, who had just finished absorbing his Third Soul Ring, was amazed by the surge in his Soul Power when he suddenly heard a roar coming from afar.
The experienced Qi Ling immediately recognized that it was the voice of the Forest Titan. In the entire Star Dou Great Forest, there was only one Forest Titan, the one that was familiar with Xiao Wu and was known as Er Ming.
Even knowing that its purpose in coming was for Xiao Wu, Qi Ling couldn't help but feel worried, because Er Ming had absolutely no liking for humans.
After all, humans are only seen as executioners by them, and the two are sworn enemies.
Therefore, even with Xiao Wu's intervention, Er Ming almost caused the complete annihilation of the Shrek Academy.
Qi Ling was even worried that if it didn't control its strength properly, it could cause casualties among the Shrek Devils, and then it would be too late to regret it.
Without any hesitation, Qi Ling immediately unleashed the Three Thousand Lightning Movement and rushed towards the direction of the Forest Titan.
