Cross Shockwave, an Instant Kill!

Gravity Domain!

Beneath the Titan Giant Ape's Innate Domain, all Soul Beasts seemed to sink into the earth as they struggled.

Every living thing within the domain was pulled madly downward!

"Spit Sister Xiao Wu out and give her back to me..."

"Earth Control!"

The Titan Giant Ape thought the Scarlet Flame Lion had eaten Xiao Wu whole. He was so frantic that he jumped up and down.

Rumble-

Under the Titan Giant Ape's control, countless quagmire traps suddenly formed in the earth beneath the Scarlet Flame Lion, while countless boulders hurtled toward him.

"Spit it out? Don't you dare. Swallow it!"

Tianyu reflexively objected. When the Titan Giant Ape suddenly heard a voice coming from the Scarlet Flame Lion, he looked utterly bewildered and at a loss.

Hearing those words, Xiao Wu flushed scarlet. She blinked her big, lively eyes, her tender pink tongue peeking out as she gently bit her red lips. She looked utterly adorable.

Tai Tan Giant Fist!

In an instant, the Titan Giant Ape leaped into the air. Taking advantage of the swamp holding the Scarlet Flame Lion in place for a short time, he drew on his immense strength and Gravity Crush, gathering all his might into one punch.

The Titan Giant Ape was full of confidence in the giant fist descending from the sky. But the next moment, his golden pupils abruptly contracted, and his whole body trembled with pain.

Second Soul Skill: Invincible Golden Body...

Bang, bang, bang-

A faint golden sheen enveloped the Scarlet Flame Lion's entire body. Even with the fist coming straight at him, he remained utterly fearless, his gaze fierce.

After the punch, the Titan Giant Ape seemed to suffer reflected damage. The Scarlet Flame Lion pressed his advantage, spreading both claws, their edges incomparably sharp and fully bared.

Before long, countless fragments of the Titan Giant Ape's prized rock armor lay scattered across the ground.

"Damn it, Titan Sky Cannon..." The Titan Giant Ape instinctively wanted to unleash his strongest attack, but then he remembered that Xiao Wu was on the lion!

The terrifying Soul Power gathered throughout his body immediately dissipated. He could only mutter under his breath, like a useless husband. No... he wasn't even qualified to be a husband.

"Master, how about we stop fighting Er Ming, all right?"

Xiao Wu spoke through the Soul Contract, sounding somewhat aggrieved.

"Why?" Tianyu asked curiously. As things stood, he had no intention of killing Er Ming either.

For one thing, his Soul Power Level wasn't high enough, so absorbing a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring would be far too risky. As for the second reason...

With Tianyu's current spiritual power alone, condensing a scarlet Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring into a Heaven-Breaking Stone was still somewhat difficult. Or rather, he couldn't do it yet!

"Because Er Ming has always listened to Xiao Wu. In the future, if Xiao Wu tells him to willingly sacrifice himself to Master, he definitely won't refuse."

"Then it'll be even better when Master has a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring and a Soul Bone~" Xiao Wu's tone was cheerful, as though she were talking about something she didn't care about.

Titan Giant Ape: "?"

Wait... did he have to change his name to Titan Simp?

Tianyu: "Aren't you one already~?"

"Besides, after Er Ming sacrifices himself, there's still Da Ming. Da Ming is the legendary Sky Azure Bull Python, and he's a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast too."

"Hehe~ When the time comes, if they both become Master's Soul Rings and Soul Bones, Master mustn't forget to reward me!" Xiao Wu sounded so serious that she nearly made Tianyu laugh.

This was a whole room roaring with filial piety~

"All right, all right, don't worry. I'll let you decide when the time comes!" Tianyu promised at once, because, honestly...

With Xiao Wu volunteering to speak up, perhaps those two simps, Da Ming and Er Ming, really would sacrifice themselves.

"All right, it's time to end this battle!"

"Titan Giant Ape, don't worry. I'll take good care of Xiao Wu, so there's no need for you to worry about her." The Scarlet Flame Lion spoke in a human voice. Naturally, it was Tianyu transmitting the words, speaking in all seriousness.

Those words, however, sent the Titan Giant Ape into a rage on the spot. His eyes widened in fury, and for a moment his anger surged to the heavens.

"If you want to take Xiao Wu from me, then you'll have to roll over my dead body!"

"Oh? Those lines sound awfully familiar~" Tianyu was taken aback. Meanwhile, Tang San finally hurried his way to the battlefield, already drenched in sweat.

Ordinarily, the Gravity Domain the Titan Giant Ape released unintentionally was enough to crush Tang San, a Soul Grandmaster who had just broken through to level thirty.

Yet the power of fortune mysteriously changed everything, leaving Tang San completely unharmed, watching the two giant beasts fight with his own eyes!

At the same time, the difference in their strength was as vast as heaven and earth. Tang San couldn't even intervene, so he could only use Blue Silver Entanglement to bind himself to a large tree, lest he accidentally be sent flying.

"Damn it, if I were stronger, I could definitely rescue Xiao Wu!" Tang San had never hated his own weakness so much. Memories of his everyday moments with Xiao Wu even began to surface in his mind.

In particular, some time ago, Xiao Wu had suddenly become fond of wearing twin ponytails. She often liked to eat rice porridge at night, with sticky white grains clinging to the corners of her mouth.

Whenever he pointed it out, she would hurriedly lick the porridge clean in an utterly adorable way. Tang San had seen all of Xiao Wu's actions, and his heart felt very warm.

Just then, Tang San suddenly remembered how Xiao Wu had set aside her usual lively manner and humbly asked to learn from his experience with movement techniques and circulating cultivation methods.

In particular, she had begged him to teach her Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track, or the Purple Demon Eye, which could enhance her second Soul Skill, Charm, to a certain extent.

Yet for the sake of the Tang Sect, he had steeled his heart and refused her.

In that instant, Tang San wanted nothing more than to slap himself hard across the face. He hated himself for how damned he was.

If he had taught Xiao Wu Purple Demon Eye and Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track, would the Titan Giant Ape have failed to capture her so easily? Or might she at least have had a slim chance of survival?

I deserve to die. Why, why, why?

If Xiao Wu can come back to my side, what does she want to learn?

I won't keep anything to myself... even the Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record will be no exception!

Little pearls dripped from the corners of Tang San's eyes, and his eyes turned red as he thought this, almost from the bottom of his heart.

Tianyu: "That's a good thing, then~"

"Looks like the sixty-nine Fortune Points I spent a while ago weren't wasted!"

"Die..."

"Titan Sky Cannon!"

The Titan Giant Ape finally unleashed his strongest attack. In an instant, gravity and earth energy compressed abruptly.

They formed a massive pillar of light that hurtled straight toward the Scarlet Flame Lion!

At the sight, Tianyu and the Scarlet Flame Lion became one in mind and spirit. Their fighting spirit boiled, without the slightest trace of fear.

As our minds became one, the golden light protecting the Scarlet Flame Lion began to gather. His front claws erupted with dazzling radiance as the lion opened his eyes.

"Face my Lion's Fang..."

"Cross Shockwave!!!"

In an instant, the Heaven-Breaking Stone on the Scarlet Flame Lion's forehead lit up with a crimson glow. His claws crossed, weaving a golden, cross-shaped blade of flame that shot forward in a slash.

The fiery light instantly tore through the air. The Cross Shockwave blasted golden waves of flame along its path, and even the Titan Sky Cannon the Titan Giant Ape was so proud of collapsed at the first touch.

With a bang, the Titan Giant Ape was sent flying hundreds of meters. As Tang San watched in shock, the Scarlet Flame Lion suddenly soared into the sky and made a dashing getaway.

In the vast darkness of the night, he was like a beam of ultimate brilliance, using the star-speckled night as paper to paint a cross of the most dazzling light!!!
