Miserable

"Boom!!!"

Xiao Wu was fleeing when she heard the explosion behind her. She stopped and turned to look back.

She knew her mother had already begun a fierce battle with that human.

She hadn't heard her mother scream, so her mother was probably gaining the upper hand.

At that thought, she relaxed and continued running toward Da Ming and Er Ming.

On the other side, however, the truth was that Wu Zhao was being beaten down.

Great clouds of dust billowed through the air.

Wu Zhao was afraid Xiao Wu would hear her screams, so even though she was in terrible pain, she forced herself to endure it without crying out.

The smoke cleared, revealing a huge crater in the ground.

Wu Zhao's golden figure rose to its feet, gasping for breath.

She stared grimly at the figure floating in the sky.

Sure enough, she couldn't judge this human child by ordinary standards.

He was very likely an old monster who had somehow eaten something that made him so young.

His appearance was utterly deceptive.

The gold covering Wu Zhao shattered and faded away at that moment.

That last blow had already reached the defensive limit of Invincible Golden Body.

If Invincible Golden Body hadn't protected her, Qian Nuo's kick would have been enough to leave Wu Zhao paralyzed on the ground.

Buzz! Just then, Wu Zhao's expression changed as she sensed a powerful presence behind her.

The next second, golden light flared.

An old man appeared, accompanied by a little girl.

"A human Peerless Douluo!" Wu Zhao fixed her gaze on Qian Daoliu. The next second, her pupils changed drastically, and cold sweat poured down her face.

This old man was definitely a human Peerless Douluo!

The equivalent of a six-hundred-thousand-year Soul Beast!!!!

It's over. Even if Da Ming and Er Ming come, they can't turn this around. Their strength is nowhere near enough to fight a Peerless Douluo.

A desperate thought surfaced in Wu Zhao's mind.

She really was going to die here today.

"Brother, you were too fast. We couldn't keep up," Qian Renxue said, looking up at Qian Nuo in the sky with a hint of complaint.

"Huh? Brother, why is there an auntie here?" Qian Renxue asked, blinking at the disheveled woman, Wu Zhao, in the crater.

But her intuition told her the human woman before her was no ordinary person.

She still couldn't sense that the woman was a transformed Soul Beast.

But Qian Daoliu beside her was a Peerless Douluo. His gaze was already fixed on Wu Zhao, and his eyes narrowed slightly as he saw through her true identity at a glance.

"A transformed Soft Bone Rabbit Soul Beast, one hundred and nine thousand years old," Qian Daoliu said calmly.

"You're Qian Daoliu of Spirit Hall?!" Wu Zhao had also recognized Qian Daoliu.

"That's right, it's me." Qian Daoliu admitted it frankly, a little surprised that she knew who he was.

How strange!

Could she have something to do with those fellows?

"That auntie is actually a Hundred-Thousand-Year Transformed Soul Beast?" Qian Renxue was shocked.

Her brother had actually subdued a Hundred-Thousand-Year Transformed Soul Beast!

He was amazing!

Perhaps because the woman was in human form, Qian Renxue felt sympathy for her and thought she was so pitiful.

"Brother, could you give auntie a quick death? Please don't make her suffer," Qian Renxue said, looking up at Qian Nuo.

Wu Zhao froze for a moment, somewhat surprised by her words.

Then she looked at Qian Daoliu and said coldly, "Qian Daoliu, you human Peerless Douluo, you humans signed a treaty of nonaggression with us Soul Beasts. Are you going to make a move against us? If you do, those fellows in the depths certainly won't let you off!"

The "fellows in the depths" Wu Zhao spoke of were Di Tian and the other true Ferocious Beasts, hidden in a secret realm deep within the Star Dou Great Forest!

People like her were nothing but little shrimp before Di Tian and those other Ferocious Beasts.

"I won't make a move. I'm only watching from the sidelines."

"He alone is enough to deal with you."

Qian Daoliu also remembered now that he had indeed reached a nonaggression agreement with them back then.

If he made a move, those fellows in the depths would certainly sense him. A beast tide would very likely erupt then, putting human cities in danger.

He also withdrew his presence at that moment.

"Cut the nonsense. No matter who comes today, nothing will change your fate of becoming my Soul Ring. You have only two choices now."

"First, you can sacrifice yourself willingly and become my Soul Ring. I'll agree to let your soul reside in the Soul Ring and resurrect you when I become a god in the future."

"Second, I'll kill you and forcibly absorb your Soul Ring!"

Floating in the sky, Qian Nuo glanced at Qian Renxue, then looked down at the disheveled Wu Zhao, who still wanted to resist.

"If you're trying to buy time for your daughter to bring reinforcements, that's a foolish move. You know nothing about my strength. They'll become my Soul Rings too."

Qian Nuo's voice was cold and calm. He paid Da Ming and Er Ming no mind at all.

Even Di Tian's group of Ferocious Beasts and the Silver Dragon King, Gu Yue, whose injuries had yet to heal, were mere ants in his eyes, not worth worrying about.

As long as they dared to come out, he dared to kill them and turn them into his Soul Rings!

"Human, I would never sacrifice myself willingly!" Wu Zhao hesitated inwardly, but her mouth remained defiant. The next second, she leaped into the sky and attacked Qian Nuo.

She wrapped herself around Qian Nuo and unleashed the Violent Killing Eight-Stage Throw!

Qian Nuo took the hits without suffering a damn thing.

When he landed, he stood steadily on the ground and looked at Wu Zhao with a calm expression.

"That didn't even tickle. What are you going to beat me with?"

"In that case, let me show you what a painful death looks like!"

Whoosh!

As soon as the words left his mouth, Qian Nuo turned into a blur and charged at Wu Zhao.

He slammed a fist into her abdomen.

Bang!!!!!

Qian Nuo was too fast. Wu Zhao had no time to react.

The punch struck her abdomen, and she spat up a mouthful of sour fluid and blood.

Her body flew backward.

Qian Nuo became a blur, appearing at great speed in the sky around Wu Zhao.

He began kicking her.

Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang!!!!

Wu Zhao's body remained in the air, unable to fall.

One moment she was kicked east, the next west, then north, and finally south.

She was kicked back and forth like a soccer ball.

Wu Zhao was in unbearable pain, coughing up blood again and again. Bones and meridians throughout her body broke and shattered, and blood seeped out of her.

She was in a wretched state.

It was a sight of unspeakable misery.

Blood poured endlessly from her body. He showed her no mercy at all.

What Qian Nuo liked best was torturing people mercilessly.

Seeing their pain stirred evil, excited thoughts in his heart.

Finally, Qian Nuo moved above Wu Zhao, whose body and face were covered in blood, and stomped hard on her stomach.

"Pfft!"

Wu Zhao spewed a great mouthful of blood, and her body crashed into the ground like a meteor.

An even greater cloud of dust rose than before.

Qian Renxue buried her head in Qian Daoliu's chest, not daring to look.

It was too cruel, too brutal. As a little girl, she couldn't bear it.

For some reason, tears also flowed from her eyes.
