Chapter 84: The Arrival of the Terrifying Thing

"Yes, my lord!" Dian Wei never hesitated in the slightest regarding Nan Feihuang's orders.

"Second Soul Skill, Spinning Dragon!"

As he brandished his Double Iron Halberds, he unleashed a massive tornado that surged toward the wound on the Diamond Scaled Beast.

This was an area-of-effect soul skill; within the tornado, the sharp, keen-edged attacks of the Double Iron Halberds were contained, capable of tearing an enemy's body to shreds.

The Diamond Scaled Beast's surface defense was indeed very strong; even Dian Wei's Spinning Dragon struggled to inflict damage upon its exterior.

However, its internal organs were just as fragile as those of an ordinary Spirit Beast.

When the Spinning Dragon pierced through the wound Nan Feihuang had created, the terrifying wind blade attacks ravaged the Diamond Scaled Beast's insides, and its viscera and meridians were sliced apart in an instant.

This strike completely destroyed the Diamond Scaled Beast's Life.

Seeing its legs tremble slightly, it collapsed powerlessly, but a fellow like Dian Wei would never show mercy to an enemy on the battlefield.

Or rather, for a fellow already destined for Death, giving it a quick end was more in line with Dian Wei's definition of the word mercy.

He leaped up directly, using his Halberd as a hammer, and with Brute Force, he smashed down onto the Diamond Scaled Beast's head.

For this type of high-defense Spirit Beast, sometimes a blunt weapon attack is indeed more effective than a sharp one.

The already weakened Scaled Beast received this heavy blow and finally collapsed powerlessly, taking in more air than it let out; in less than half a minute, it was completely dead.

A purple Spirit Ring formed on its body surface, and Dian Wei immediately sat cross-legged to absorb it.

After all, it was an over-limit Spirit Ring; even for him, it would take a certain amount of time and energy to finish absorbing it.

Nan Tianchen walked to Xu Rong's side and said, "Mr. Xu, later, once Dian Wei has finished absorbing the Spirit Ring, I will trouble you to take the three children and leave first. The place I am going to afterward is the depths of the forest; that is not a place where children can venture deep into right now."

"Yes, Your Majesty. Protecting the Crown Prince is my duty as a subordinate. Please rest assured, Your Majesty; I swear by the century-old glory of my family's inherited martial soul, the Glory Shield, that I will ensure the Crown Prince remains safe!" Xu Rong immediately agreed.

Just at this moment, Lan Xue, who had been quietly protecting the children, suddenly felt goosebumps rise all over her body.

"What is it that actually made my body subconsciously go on alert?" Lan Xue turned around in shock and looked into the distance.

Something was coming, and it was terrifyingly strong; the chill of its killing intent made her feel as if she were sensing a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood.

"Tianchen, quickly take Feihuang away," Lan Xue urged hurriedly; even she subconsciously felt that this time, the situation might be dire.

"It's too late!" Nan Feihuang suddenly spoke up; his constitution meant his perception of danger was not inferior to Lan Xue's.

The reaction Lan Xue had was the same for him, perhaps even a second or two earlier.

The next moment, three figures were seen flying toward them in a disheveled state, covered in wounds; two of them even had charred patches on their bodies, clearly burn injuries.

These three were Qian Renxue and the two Title Douluo, Ci Xue and She Long.

"Your Excellency Ci Xue! Your Excellency Snake Spear Douluo!" Nan Tianchen was shocked. What on earth could have injured two Title Douluo to this extent?

The three were clearly fighting while retreating; Qian Renxue had the weakest cultivation but the lightest injuries, likely because these two had risked their lives to protect her.

"Your Excellency Mysterious Ice, I beg you to lend your aid!" Qian Renxue called out to Lan Xue for help. Although she was arrogant, she was not stupid; at a time like this, arrogance could not save her life.

Besides, no matter how great her potential was, she was currently only a quasi-Soul Emperor; it was not shameful for a quasi-Soul Emperor to ask a Title Douluo for help when encountering an opponent she could not defeat.

However, just as her voice fell, a massive fireball behind her attacked her.

"Ninth Soul Skill, Raging Lightning Thunder!" Snake Spear Douluo directly activated his Ninth Soul Skill to help Qian Renxue block it.

The lightning-covered Snake Spear struck the fireball violently; the explosion generated by the two massive forces caused Qian Renxue to be severely injured even by the shockwave.

"Urgh!" Accompanied by a scream, the Angel Wings behind Qian Renxue slowly dissipated, and her body fell from the sky.

Seeing this, Nan Feihuang leaped up and caught her.

As for She Long, who had directly withstood the fireball attack, he was nearly on the verge of death; had Lan Xue not created an ice wall at the last moment to help him defend, She Long would certainly have died.

"Miss Qian Renxue, are you alright?" Nan Feihuang channeled his soul power from her back into her body.

The clothes on her back had been burned away by the previous strike, but instead of revealing her usual beautiful back, it was charred black, with very severe burns.

Qian Renxue opened her weak eyes and saw a familiar face, "Feihuang, quickly take me away!"

At such a moment, she had completely forgotten that she was not currently in her identity as Xue Qinghe, and subconsciously called out Nan Feihuang's name.

Looking at Qian Renxue like this, Nan Feihuang realized that this was her dead end.

Lan Xue carried her Mysterious Ice Halberd and ran to the side of Ci Xue and She Long, "Your Excellencies, what kind of monster have you provoked?"

"Many thanks for your rescue, Your Excellency Mysterious Ice. We do not know what it is either. We were just helping the Young Master hunt a Heavenly Spirit Horse as usual, but we did not expect a red thing to suddenly appear. In just one encounter, it severely injured us. I beg you to continue to assist us; by combining the power of our three Title Douluo, we might block it for a moment and let these children leave first," She Long said.

"You have already brought that thing to my front; do I still have room to refuse?" Lan Xue was somewhat filled with Anger. How could she not see that this fellow had deliberately lured that thing here, attempting to use her power to help them gain a glimmer of survival?

Yet she had no way to refuse, because they had to protect the Young Master Qian Renxue, and she had to risk her life to protect her own son.

Lan Xue called out, "Tianchen, Xu Rong, Elder Zhang, you take Feihuang and Ling'er and leave first. The coming battle is not something you can participate in."

"But, the boy Dian Wei is still..." Elder Zhang was kind-hearted by nature; Dian Wei was still absorbing his Spirit Ring and could not be moved at all. Were they to abandon him and flee?

Being dragged into a battlefield of Title Douluo level, with Dian Wei's small frame having just reached the Soul Elder level, there was simply no way he could survive.

"There is no time to worry about that; save who we can. I entrust my son to you all. I beg you, you must take him out of the Star Dou Great Forest. If I die in battle, tell him never to seek revenge for me." Lan Xue seemed to be giving her final words, because she clearly felt how immense the coming terror was.

That was a monster no one on the continent could contend with, so she did not want her son to encounter any danger.

"And our Young Master, please take her out as well. One day, our Spirit Hall will surely reward you handsomely." She Long was incomparably loyal to Qian Renxue; the fact that he had risked his life to save her multiple times was proof of this.
