"Roar! Di Tian, why! Why!"
An angry roar suddenly rang out, and a dark golden figure attacked Huo Yuhao almost like lightning.
The Slime Bodysuit behind Huo Yuhao immediately rose up, transforming into a solid barrier.
The two-meter-tall, burly man looked particularly imposing, with a dark gold fur collar around his neck. However, what was surprising was that the man's right hand was empty; he only had a left hand.
With a raise of his hand, five terrifying dark gold blades emerged from his left claw, slashing directly at the Slime barrier.
Whoosh!
The Slime barrier was easily torn apart, and countless black liquids splashed out. The claws reached out to grab Huo Yuhao without any hindrance.
At the same time, black energy surged in Huo Yuhao's hand, and a straight, sharp sword suddenly materialized, emitting a piercing scraping sound as it blocked Xiong Jun's vicious attack.
Immediately afterwards, Huo Yuhao's body relaxed abruptly, and the long sword in his hand vanished. Five transparent threads shot out from his fingertips and Entanglement around the five dark gold blades.
With the impact, Huo Yuhao's body flew straight towards the Lake of Life, his feet plunging into the water and creating ripples.
Immediately afterward, the silk thread in Huo Yuhao's hand suddenly taut, his right hand clenched, and he threw it upward. Xiong Jun, who was originally on the shore, was unable to resist being flung into the air.
call out!
The silk threads lashed through the air like arrows, tracing beautiful, shimmering arcs. As Huo Yuhao closed his hands, Xiong Jun hovered in mid-air.
Huo Yuhao's figure disappeared again, and when he came into view, he was already above Xiong Jun.
Then, Huo Yuhao's eyes turned icy cold, and he raised his right foot and stomped down, his toes touching Xiong Jun the instant they met.
Xiong Jun's body suddenly plunged downwards, moving so fast that only a straight black streak could be seen falling.
Boom! Crash!
A column of water, white with a hint of green, shot into the sky, creating a huge whirlpool on the calm surface and turning the once clear water into murky water.
Huo Yuhao's figure flashed again in the air, returning to his original position. A large black umbrella appeared in his hand, and he also pulled the Three-Eyed Golden Lion next to Di Tian into the room.
A second later, another splashing sound rang out, and water droplets fell densely on the water surface and the shore like raindrops, making the umbrellas crackle. Xiong Jun slowly rose from the water again.
The Three-Eyed Golden Lion lion looked at Huo Yuhao with adoration, and casually patted him on the shoulder with its paw.
As for Di Tian, he simply watched indifferently and did not stop any of this from happening.
On the Lake of Life, the whirlpool created by Xiong Jun's attack still hasn't subsided; it continues to spin, and even seems to be accelerating.
puff!
"Ah!"
With a scream, Xiong Jun's massive body was thrown into the air and crashed onto the shore like a giant meteorite.
The grass on the bank was smashed open by his body, breaking into several pieces, and even his body was covered in it.
Xiong Jun swayed as he propped himself up, shook his head, and slowly came to his senses.
Only then did he notice that fine cracks had appeared on his hard, dark gold claws, as if they were about to shatter at any moment.
Xiong Jun looked in shock towards Huo Yuhao's direction in the distance, speechless with astonishment.
"If you don't want your left hand either, I wouldn't recommend helping you."
Huo Yuhao's voice drifted into his ears, and Xiong Jun's body inexplicably trembled.
Those cold words even sent shivers down his spine.
" Xiong Jun, are you alright?"
A woman radiating vitality slowly floated down from the sky to Di Tian's side; it was none other than the Emerald Swan, Bi Ji.
A ball of emerald green light condensed in her hand, flew up and entered Xiong Jun's body, thus stabilizing his injuries.
Bi Ji turned to Huo Yuhao and nodded, saying, " Shadow, Xiong Jun was presumptuous this time, please forgive him."
The black aura surrounding Di Tian slowly dissipated, revealing his sharply defined face.
" Shadow, this is the Star Dou Great Forest. You know why Xiong Jun attacked you. This situation is different. I want to apologize, but if you do anything excessive again, don't blame me for being impolite." A murderous glint flashed in Di Tian's eyes.
Huo Yuhao chuckled, retracting the black umbrella from his coat. "Of course, I'm just teaching him a lesson. What do you think?"
Di Tian remained silent, his aura transforming into a black dragon head in mid-air, staring intently at Huo Yuhao.
At the same time, the whirlpool on the Lake of Life grew larger and larger, and a soft white light inexplicably appeared at the center of the whirlpool.
" Di Tian... let him in, and the Auspicious Beast too."
A clear, ethereal voice emanated from within the white light.
Di Tian then restrained his aura and respectfully bowed towards the source of the white light, saying, "Understood, Your Majesty."
"You can go in now. Shadow, you better remember this! If the Auspicious Beast suffers any loss, I will fight you to the death!" Di Tian turned to Huo Yuhao and said.
The Three-Eyed Golden Lion answered first, "Uncle Di Tian, Shadow won't harm me, don't worry."
Huo Yuhao didn't answer, but smiled with narrowed eyes, waved to Di Tian, and then led the Three-Eyed Golden Lion towards the center of the vortex.
Seeing this, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion also raised its claws and waved them at Di Tian.
The two then vanished into the soft white light, the enormous vortex disappeared in the blink of an eye, and the Lake of Life returned to its calm state.
Looking at the calm lake, Bi Ji gently patted Di Tian's hand and said tenderly, "Don't worry, with Master here, nothing will happen. I can sense that Shadow doesn't mean any harm."
"Perhaps, the future of our Soul Beast will depend on him."
As she spoke, Bi Ji stretched out her finger and pointed subtly at the sky.
"Well, I hope so..."
Di Tian sighed, stood with his hands behind his back, and stared blankly at the lake.
"Hehehe, Xiong Jun, you're no match for him. Next time you fight, can you use your brain? If you lose another hand, what's the difference between you and being crippled?"
The Myriad Demon King the Demon Eye Devil Tree appeared beside Xiong Jun at some point and spoke sarcastically.
The Scarlet King also came to the side and advised, " Xiong Jun, a wise man submits to circumstances; you can't defeat him."
Xiong Jun spat at the ground, turned his head disdainfully, and propped himself up with one hand. "None of your business."
As the white light dissipated.
Huo Yuhao and the Three-Eyed Golden Lion appeared in a pure white space.
Looking up, I saw seven-colored light floating overhead, like clouds constantly surging and spreading.
Before them lay various shapes of emerald-green minerals, scattered crookedly and unevenly.
The Three-Eyed Golden Lion curiously reached out and touched it, even taking a bite. "Ah..."
The hard ore made her cover her mouth and run to the side.
Huo Yuhao looked at the emerald green ore covering the ground, and Electrolux in his mind was overjoyed.
Electrolux exclaimed excitedly, " Yuhao, this is all the Gold of Life! There's so much here, its value is immeasurable!"
Without hesitation, Huo Yuhao quietly took out the Life Gold Carving Knife from between his eyebrows while the Three-Eyed Golden Lion was still rubbing its aching teeth.
With a quick glance around, the Slime snatched the carving knife and, in the blink of an eye, swung it, leaving two streaks of light in its wake.
The Slime quickly covered and collected the two large pieces of Gold of Life, then its eyes darted around again before it walked over to the Three-Eyed Golden Lion.
"Sir, this is our first meeting. Please make your own way here."
The sound filled the entire space, echoing continuously.
Huo Yuhao looked up and locked onto a direction, then picked up the Three-Eyed Golden Lion from the ground.
When the voice rang out, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion instinctively felt that the owner of the voice must be a beautiful woman.
The Three-Eyed Golden Lion then curiously looked around and transmitted its voice, "Sister, who are you?"
The voice paused for a full half minute before slowly replying, "Just... call me Gu Yuena..."
