Xiao Wu and Her Mother's Crisis!

Qian Nuo's spiritual power was extraordinarily strong.

He spread his spiritual power out and soon found the Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts hidden deep in the Star Dou Great Forest.

Among them, he found two women in human form.

The two women were living happily.

As his powerful spiritual power probed deeper, he soon discovered that the two women had taken human form from Hundred-Thousand-Year Soft Bone Rabbits.

Could they be Xiao Wu and her mother?

Qian Nuo opened his eyes and thought to himself.

According to the current timeline, Bibi Dong had not yet killed Xiao Wu's mother.

So her mother was still alive.

"I've found two Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts."

Qian Nuo spoke calmly.

"Where?" Qian Daoliu looked around, but found nothing.

Qian Nuo, meanwhile, dashed off to the west.

Qian Daoliu took Qian Renxue and swiftly followed.

Deep in the Star Dou Great Forest, in a forest to the west, two pink figures were running about happily.

"Mom, Mom, wait for Xiao Wu! Xiao Wu can't catch up!"

A younger-looking girl ran after the mature woman ahead of her, calling out as she chased her.

The two of them looked happy and harmonious together.

They had no idea that a crisis would soon befall them both.

Xiao Wu's mother was named Wu Zhao.

She turned to look at the girl who had jumped into her arms and smiled. "Xiao Wu, that's enough playing for today. Come on, let's go back and train."

"Oh no, someone's spying on us!"

As Wu Zhao spoke, her expression suddenly changed.

As a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, her spiritual power was very strong, and she had just sensed someone using spiritual power to spy on them.

Immediately afterward, she sensed a dangerous presence approaching them.

It was moving extremely fast, drawing closer and closer!

"Oh no! It's a human presence! So evil!"

"Xiao Wu, let's go! To Da Ming and Er Ming's territory!"

Wu Zhao took Xiao Wu, turned around, and ran.

She had sensed that the human's evil presence was extremely powerful. Her instincts told her it was very dangerous, and she might not be a match for them!

That was why she did not stay behind to fight alone, but instead swiftly left the area with Xiao Wu.

Xiao Wu's expression also changed drastically. "Mom, is a powerful human coming? Could they be here to hunt us?"

"That presence is directed at us and has locked onto us. They very likely are here to hunt us." Wu Zhao's expression was grim.

"Where are you two going?"

"I'd like to ask you a favor and borrow something from you! I hope you'll cooperate."

But just then, the approaching figure proved faster than Wu Zhao had expected. They had only turned and run a few meters when a cold voice came from behind them.

When they turned around, an afterimage appeared a short distance ahead of them.

It was a human boy dressed in black, with short, spiky hair and a height of around 1.5 meters.

His expression was cold as he stared without emotion at the two Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts in human form before him.

Wu Zhao had taken human form earlier, and through constant cultivation, her strength had now recovered to that of a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast.

Xiao Wu, on the other hand, had only recently taken human form. She had never cultivated and was still an ordinary person with no cultivation.

However, she had perfectly retained the combat experience she had possessed as a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast.

She had no trouble dealing with ordinary people and low-level Soul Masters, but dreaming of taking on a terrifying existence like Qian Nuo was sheer folly.

"Human boy, who are you, and why have you come into our Soul Beasts' territory?!" Wu Zhao shielded Xiao Wu behind her and stared at Qian Nuo with an icy gaze as she spoke coldly.

She was shocked and taken aback. He was clearly just a human boy, seemingly only about six years old, the age at which one had just awakened a Martial Soul. Why did he give her such a terrifying sense of danger?

Was he really a six-year-old boy?

Never mind a six-year-old-even a boy could not possibly possess such a terrifying, ferocious presence!

And how could a child have the courage to venture in here and recognize them as Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts?

A human like that would have been eaten by Soul Beasts as soon as he entered.

"I told you, I've come to borrow something from you." Qian Nuo slipped his hands into his pockets and spoke calmly.

"What?" Wu Zhao asked, her expression grim.

Qian Nuo said, "I hope the two of you will willingly sacrifice yourselves and become my Soul Rings. Once I ascend to the Divine Realm someday, I can bring you back to life."

"How dare you! You're courting death!!"

When Wu Zhao heard that he actually wanted the two of them to willingly sacrifice themselves and become his Soul Rings, she was instantly enraged.

He was asking for their lives! How could she possibly tolerate that?

Xiao Wu, go on ahead. Mom will hold him off. Go tell Da Ming and Er Ming to come and help. Besides him, I've sensed another powerful human approaching!

Wu Zhao transmitted her voice to Xiao Wu.

I understand, Mom. Be careful!

Though Xiao Wu was reluctant to leave, she knew that now she had taken human form, she no longer had the strength of a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast. Staying here would not help her mother and would only make her a burden, so she turned and ran.

She had to get the news to Da Ming and Er Ming quickly and bring the two beasts over to help.

She deeply regretted it now. If she had known, she would not have taken human form so early!

Now she had no power to help her mother!

"Human brat, there's no way we'll willingly sacrifice ourselves! Let's see what you're capable of!! Die!!"

As soon as Xiao Wu ran, the furious Wu Zhao charged at Qian Nuo to cover her escape.

Qian Nuo watched coldly, knowing that Wu Zhao was trying to buy Xiao Wu time to get away.

But he did not stop her. He would deal with the one in front of him first.

Wu Zhao teleported directly in front of Qian Nuo and lashed out with a kick, a blow carrying the fury of a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast!!!

It was extraordinarily powerful!

However, just as her foot was about to strike Qian Nuo's head, he teleported away and vanished from the spot.

"Bang!!!!"

Wu Zhao's kick missed.

Her expression changed drastically. "What! He disappeared?!"

Suddenly, she felt an intense sense of danger behind her.

At that moment, Qian Nuo, who had vanished, appeared directly behind her.

"Your kick was too slow."

As the words left his mouth, Qian Nuo stomped on Wu Zhao's back.

A powerful evil force surged forth.

Wu Zhao had no time to dodge. At the critical moment, her entire body turned golden.

Invincible Golden Body!

She had a wealth of combat experience. The moment she sensed danger behind her, she knew she had no time to fight back and could only take the blow head-on.

Her Invincible Golden Body proved extremely useful at a time like this!

Bang!!!!!

His foot came stomping down.

The next second, Wu Zhao's expression changed drastically!

Even though she had activated Invincible Golden Body, she still felt pain in her body.

Qian Nuo's attack had pierced straight through Invincible Golden Body's defensive effect.

Even so, it had neutralized a great deal of the damage.

Wu Zhao's body was sent flying and crashed into the ground like a falling meteor. With a thunderous boom, dust billowed into the sky.

One could imagine how deep a crater that impact would leave.
