Magnetic Field Haunting

"The Emperor Auspicious Beast? Jingtian, you can't be serious, can you?"

Yan Shaozhe looked somewhat bewildered. He truly knew nothing about the Emperor Auspicious Beast.

Records of the Emperor Auspicious Beast did exist in Shrek Academy's ancient texts, but those texts were not required reading. Aside from the senior elders absorbed in Martial Soul research or a Sea God's Pavilion Master with a strong sense of responsibility like Mu En, only those punished for having a poor attitude might read such ancient texts.

Xuan Zi, for instance, had been punished by Mu En many times, which was how he had come across the ancient text containing the records of the Emperor Auspicious Beast.

Yan Shaozhe had also been punished, but his rash and reckless nature meant he had never been willing to study seriously, and he had yet to read that far in the relevant ancient text.

"Dean Yan, can you guess why she was drawn to your presence? According to the ancient texts, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion's favorite food is the brains of Soul Beasts with the light attribute.

"And your Bright Phoenix Martial Soul would be a top-tier light-attribute Soul Beast if it were a Soul Beast. To the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, it's the most delicious food there is..."

As Bai Jingtian spoke, he noticed that something was wrong with the atmosphere. Whether it was the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, whose fateful scruff was in Yan Shaozhe's grasp, Yan Shaozhe himself, who was holding her by the scruff, or the Scarlet King, who had hurried over and ranked eighth among the ten great Ferocious Beasts, all the experts present felt somewhat overwhelmed.

Three-Eyed Golden Lion: Damn it! I got fooled by a human Soul Master's Martial Soul! Give me back the Bright Phoenix's brains! Give me back my brains!

Yan Shaozhe: The pressure I released to keep us safe actually smelled like delicious food to this Soul Beast?!

Scarlet King: Was I supposed to hear that? And if I really report the truth to Di Tian, even my heel can tell he won't believe me. He'll just beat me half to death with a Dragon God Claw.

"Scarlet King?! What are you trying to do? Take one more step closer, and I'll kill this Soul Beast, then drag you down with me!"

When Yan Shaozhe saw the Scarlet King appear, he first shielded Bai Jingtian behind him, then lifted the Three-Eyed Golden Lion and threatened the Scarlet King.

Though his cultivation could not compare with Xuan Zi's, the teachings he had received from Mu En and the techniques he had grasped himself were enough for him to take Bai Jingtian and escape the Scarlet King unscathed.

After all, the Scarlet King ranked near the bottom among the Ferocious Beasts. The only reason he was not last was his relatively high cultivation. He was not much of a match for Yan Shaozhe.

"You dare? If you kill the Emperor Auspicious Beast, the entire Star Dou Great Forest will fight you to the bitter end! When we unleash a beast tide, we'll see whether you can withstand our wrath!"

The Scarlet King turned fierce as well, refusing to give an inch in the face of Yan Shaozhe's threat.

The gap between his strength and Yan Shaozhe's was not that great, and this was the Star Dou Great Forest, the Soul Beasts' home ground.

He had already sent out a signal, and a dozen Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts would soon arrive to protect the Emperor Auspicious Beast.

"Then don't blame me for taking action!"

Yan Shaozhe had also noticed the Scarlet King's earlier little move, but before he could act, the Emperor Auspicious Beast in his grasp moved first.

She jerked her head up, fixing all three eyes on Yan Shaozhe. A golden light fell upon him, immediately knocking him unconscious for a brief moment.

Bai Jingtian also noticed that the Emperor Auspicious Beast had altered Yan Shaozhe's "luck."

In short, Yan Shaozhe had become a bad-luck magnet for the time being, as though he had been struck by Storm, the famed blade of the magnetic field world.

This is bad. Yan Shaozhe's been hit! Bad luck has possessed him, and we can't count on him anymore.

And since the Scarlet King seems to have made a move, the ten great Ferocious Beasts, or even the Silver Dragon King, might have surrounded us. They just haven't shown themselves yet.

In other words, I can't get away now...

Bai Jingtian stepped back several paces. He saw Yan Shaozhe instinctively fling the Emperor Auspicious Beast away, only to step in some Soul Beast's dung and nearly slip and fall. At the same time, the sound of tearing cloth came from his crotch, immediately confirming the situation for Bai Jingtian.

He regretted it somewhat now, but quickly cast that regret aside.

There was no use dithering anymore. If he did not fight now, he could not survive.

Although Yan Shaozhe was plagued by bad luck, his main opponent on the surface was still the Scarlet King. As for the enemy Bai Jingtian had to face on the surface, that was obvious.

"Level thirty Soul Power, Extreme Speed Bullet Fist!"

The Three-Eyed Golden Lion was preparing to work with the Scarlet King to keep the ill-fated Yan Shaozhe in the Star Dou Great Forest when a fist appeared beside her head in the blink of an eye and slammed into it.

Although the blow did little damage, it carried a peculiar force that interrupted the fate-type ability the Emperor Auspicious Beast had been preparing.

"Beast, your opponent is me!

"I suggested that the dean spare your life, but it ended up like this.

"In that case, lie down and behave, and wait for me to deal with you!

"Level thirty Soul Power, Sea Tiger Blast Fist!"

After his surprise attack with Extreme Speed Bullet Fist landed, Bai Jingtian immediately followed up with a heavy punch, smashing it against a barrier the Emperor Auspicious Beast had hastily formed with the power of light and flame.

"You think level thirty Soul Power can hurt me? Human, don't be so arrogant..."

The Emperor Auspicious Beast spoke, but before she could finish her second sentence in her cool, clear voice, the shield of power she had formed shattered like glass, while Bai Jingtian's punch lost none of its force.

Fury and humiliation flashed in the Emperor Auspicious Beast's eyes. She raised a forepaw, intending to swat Bai Jingtian away.

But when her forepaw collided with Bai Jingtian's fist, a terrifying explosive force surged into her body. She was so startled that she had no time even to cry out in pain, hurriedly circulating her power to suppress it.

Bai Jingtian also staggered back several steps, clutching his arm as he stared at the Emperor Auspicious Beast.

What strength! Sure enough, she's different from Soul Emperors like Ma Xiaotao and Zhou Yi. She can use the Golden Dragon Martial Soul after taking human form, and the Emperor Auspicious Beast's strength really is a pleasant surprise!

The situation isn't looking good, but this is the fucking climactic battle that gets the blood pumping!

Come on! Let's dance together!

The Emperor Auspicious Beast truly was powerful. After Bai Jingtian broke through her shield, the force remaining in his punch was not enough to inject explosive power into her and meet her blow head-on at full strength at the same time.

Moreover, just as Bai Jingtian was preparing to attack again and begin a second round with the Emperor Auspicious Beast, the surrounding plants suddenly came to life, ready to bind him and tear him apart.

The air around him also grew unusually sluggish, and a terrifying pressure descended over the area.

They're here already? That's the Myriad Demon King and Di Tian, isn't it?

In that case, I'll fight you to the bitter end too!

Magnetic Field Haunting, activate!

Bai Jingtian immediately recited the words in his mind, and a tall figure materialized behind him.

He was a somewhat scholarly-looking, flat-topped middle-aged man wearing glasses, with an imposing dignity that commanded respect without anger.

When he appeared, the pressure in the surrounding air shattered like glass, and the restless plants grew still again.

Magnetic Field Haunting, activated.

Yuan Hai of "Hell" had descended.
