Some People Are Alive, but Already Dead

"A hundred... a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast! It really appeared!"

Wang Feng was horrified, his legs trembling. A Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast! It was terrifying beyond belief; he could hardly imagine how powerful and dreadful it was.

Wang Feng's first thought was to flee, but he couldn't move at all. The Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast had fully unleashed its presence, which was even more terrifying than that of an ordinary Titled Douluo, leaving his entire body unable to move.

Whoosh!

Just then, a figure appeared behind Wang Feng, grabbed him, and carried him away. The figure didn't stop until they had retreated a full kilometer. It was Yu Yuanzhen.

With Yu Yuanzhen's protection, Wang Feng finally returned to normal. He glanced at Yu Yuanzhen's grave expression and asked, "Clan leader, what level is that Soul Beast?"

"A Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, a Crimson-Armored Emperor Dragon. Let's go!"

Yu Yuanzhen was deeply unwilling, but he took Wang Feng and retreated again. He knew very well that the Crimson-Armored Emperor Dragon was probably far more than a mere hundred thousand years old. If not for his Dragon Transformation, the Crimson-Armored Emperor Dragon would probably have attacked him outright.

"Damn it, why did the Purple Lightning Thunder Leopard have to appear here?"

Yu Yuanzhen was deeply unwilling, because the power of thunder within the Purple Lightning Thunder Leopard suited him exceptionally well. If its Soul Ring had not been incompatible with him, he would have replaced one of his Soul Rings long ago.

The two retreated for who knew how far before the terrifying presence finally disappeared. Wang Feng came to his senses and only then realized that he was soaked from head to toe.

Yu Yuanzhen suddenly stopped. Wang Feng looked up in confusion and saw four figures standing ahead of them.

They weren't members of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan. Their bodies were completely concealed beneath black robes, leaving nothing about them discernible.

"Who are you?" Yu Yuanzhen asked cautiously.

"Leave him."

One of them pointed at Wang Feng and spoke coldly.

Wang Feng was stunned. What the hell faction were these people from, and why had they set their sights on him too?

"You came for him. It seems you're from Spirit Hall."

Yu Yuanzhen sneered, immediately guessing their identities. Apart from Spirit Hall, there truly weren't many factions on the continent capable of sending out four Titled Douluo at once.

"Spirit Hall."

Wang Feng was delighted as soon as he heard those words. Sure enough, his teacher hadn't abandoned him! She still cared about him.

"Since you know who we are, put him down and leave! Don't force us to act."

"Heh, what's this? Bibi Dong didn't come? She only sent the four of you. I'm afraid you won't be able to take him away."

"Is that so? You can try us."

"Arrogant! Then let me see just how strong Spirit Hall's Titled Douluo really are!"

Yu Yuanzhen put Wang Feng down, but set up a barrier to prevent him from escaping, trapping him inside.

"Seventh Soul Skill, Martial Soul Avatar!"

Yu Yuanzhen immediately underwent Dragon Transformation. Facing four Titled Douluo, he had the strength to fight them, but he didn't want to get entangled here. He only wanted to leave as quickly as possible.

"Attack!"

The four black-robed Douluo wasted no time either. They immediately revealed nine Soul Rings each and clashed with Yu Yuanzhen in an instant.

A terrifying collision of power erupted in an instant, blasting the area within a li into a complete mess. If not for the protection of Yu Yuanzhen's barrier, Wang Feng felt that the shockwaves alone would probably have killed him.

This was the strength of a Titled Douluo! Just one exchange had already reached a level beyond the comprehension of ordinary Soul Masters.

In the eyes of mortals, Titled Douluo could be called gods, especially Peak Douluo above level ninety-five, who were even more terrifying.

The five fought fiercely, showing no mercy, as though they bore a mortal grudge against one another.

It was Wang Feng's first time seeing such a scene, but it also gave him a chance to see what Titled Douluo were truly capable of. He felt that his current position was simply perfect!

In no time at all, the five had exchanged hundreds of blows. Wang Feng couldn't see their attacks clearly at all, but the commotion alone was enough to show him how terrifying Titled Douluo were.

Crack!

Suddenly, Wang Feng heard a faint cracking sound beside him.

This is bad!

Wang Feng was horrified. Yu Yuanzhen's barrier was about to break! If it shattered, wouldn't he be shattered along with it?

But he had no time to dwell on it. The next moment, the barrier shattered completely, and a terrifying presence swept over him like a flood, suffocating Wang Feng and nearly killing him.

Fortunately, he recovered almost immediately. At the same time, he felt himself moving at tremendous speed.

What's going on?

Wang Feng tried to open his eyes and see clearly, but he was moving so fast that he couldn't make anything out.

Meanwhile, Yu Yuanzhen, who was fighting the four black-robed Douluo, suddenly let out an angry roar and charged in the direction Wang Feng was moving.

Wang Feng didn't know what was happening to him, but Yu Yuanzhen saw it clearly. Someone had rescued Wang Feng, and that person was moving extremely fast, faster than Yu Yuanzhen himself.

"Where do you think you're going? Stay here!"

A black-robed Douluo roared, and all four attacked at once, forcibly holding Yu Yuanzhen back.

"Damn it! Since I can't keep you, then die! Hahaha!"

Yu Yuanzhen suddenly burst into wild laughter. His hands rapidly formed seals, and then he turned around and resumed fighting the four black-robed Douluo.

Meanwhile, as Wang Feng sped along, he suddenly felt a strong air of death envelop his entire body. He was horrified, but then a terrifying force suddenly erupted within him, shattering his internal organs and instantly snuffing out his life.

The man carrying Wang Feng frowned and came to an abrupt stop. He raised a hand and placed it against Wang Feng's back, sending streams of golden light into his body.

Before long, Wang Feng's third Martial Soul appeared and directly absorbed the man's golden light. It even pulled at him frantically, trying to draw more from his body.

The man hesitated for a moment, but ultimately allowed the Ultimate Spacetime Demon Spirit to absorb his Soul Power. The demon spirit then disappeared, and Wang Feng finally regained his vitality. The man continued onward with Wang Feng.

Beside a stream on the outskirts of the Frozen Forest.

Wang Feng slowly opened his eyes and sat up with some difficulty. He first looked himself over, then warily surveyed his surroundings and spotted a man in golden armor standing not far away.

"Are you from Spirit Hall?" Wang Feng asked warily.

"Mm," the man replied calmly.

"I'm not dead. Did you save me?" Wang Feng asked again. He was certain that the force he had felt before losing consciousness had definitely been enough to kill him. His third Martial Soul couldn't have saved him in time, because the force that had suddenly erupted had simply been too enormous.

"You could say that!"

"Thank you for saving my life, Elder," Wang Feng said, hurriedly getting to his feet. Although he didn't know who the man was, he was from Spirit Hall and was also a Titled Douluo, so he was naturally an elder.

"Focus on healing! Once you've recovered and obtained a Soul Ring, I'll take you back. It's very safe here."

"Yes. Sorry for the trouble, Elder."

Without further ado, Wang Feng sat down cross-legged and began healing.

This time, he had definitely escaped death by a hair's breadth. Although he didn't understand exactly what had happened, he was certain that it had been Yu Yuanzhen's doing.

"Yu Yuanzhen, very well. I'll remember this. If I don't avenge this grudge, I'll never marry!"

Wang Feng's expression darkened to the extreme. He had never had any quarrel or grudge with Yu Yuanzhen. Rather, Yu Yuanzhen had taken a fancy to his talent and forcibly taken him back, only to try to kill him in the end.

Some people were alive, but already dead.

In his heart, Wang Feng had already marked Yu Yuanzhen for death. His hatred for Yu Yuanzhen was now even stronger than his hatred for Tang Hao. At least the latter was straightforward, whereas Yu Yuanzhen was a treacherous bastard.
