Chapter 99: Chi Wang comes knocking!

"Five... only five of you are left?"

"The others... where are the others?"

After Xu Nian'an brought out the last of them, Zhang Lexuan and Xiong Er, his knees went soft, and he knelt directly on the ground.

It was not that the others did not see Xu Nian'an bringing people out from the cave behind the waterfall time and time again.

It was that Xu Nian'an did not allow them to help.

Yan Shaozhe came to Zhang Lexuan's side, his eyes already bloodshot at some unknown time.

Xu Nian'an sensed his gradually numbing limbs. He certainly heard Yan Shaozhe's words, but he did not answer immediately.

Looking at the people behind him, suddenly a green light descended, and powerful life energy emerged.

"Eighth Soul Skill, Life Blessing!"

Following the flashing of a huge green soul ring, Xu Nian'an tilted his head slightly and saw a solemn and worried face.

It was Ye Yi Han.

"Junior Brother Nian'an, your body... is in a state of extreme load and has reached its physical limit. Now I think you should need a rest."

Although blood was still flowing continuously from Ye Yi Han's abdomen, the first thing she did when she came out was to choose to continue healing Xu Nian'an and the others.

"Only... us left?"

"Hehe~"

Answering Yan Shaozhe was a cold sneer.

"Do you know... do you know what Junior Brother Nian'an has paid so that we could survive!"

Just at this moment, Zhang Lexuan, who had been silent and watching Xu Nian'an with tears in her eyes, spoke angrily.

Opening her mouth, Zhang Lexuan wanted to say something more, but in the end, she swallowed it back.

Because in her heart, she was guilty. Anyone could talk about this matter, but... but only she could not.

Because if she hadn't failed to discover the danger earlier, perhaps this tragedy would not have happened at all.

In reality, the greatest sinner of this accident was Xuanzi. As for Xu Nian'an, who knew the plot...

Are you kidding? Revealing the plot—let alone whether they would believe Xu Nian'an if he said it, or whether Xuan Lao would believe it.

Just with the lineup Xu Nian'an and the others had when they first entered the Star Dou Great Forest, let alone the core area, even if they couldn't find a soul ring, they would probably have to take a trip to the Great Fierce Land.

After all, it was a soul-hunting team led by a peak level 98 Super Douluo, nearly ten Soul Douluos, and several Soul Saints.

Even if a hundred-thousand-year soul beast came, it would have to turn around and run without hesitation.

Unfortunately, the idea was too beautiful. In this soul-hunting team, the strongest, Xuanzi, was nowhere to be found at the critical moment.

Of course, the most unfortunate thing was not that Zhang Lexuan and the others really encountered a hundred-thousand-year soul beast.

It was that they entered the Silver Moon Mountain Range, where the Silver Moon Giant tribe lived.

Otherwise, even if they encountered an attack from the hundred-thousand-year soul beast, the Silver Moon Giant King, after a few people fell initially, it would not have been impossible to open up the distance, kite the opponent, and wear it to death.

Unfortunately, all the misfortunes were bumped into by Zhang Lexuan and the others. Not only was there a sudden attack by a hundred-thousand-year soul beast, but there was also the Silver Moon Giant tribe eyeing them covetously from all sides.

While being wary of the Silver Moon Giants all around, they didn't pay attention to the Silver Moon Giant King's attack, to the point that they were almost wiped out.

Of course, regarding everything he had achieved, Xu Nian'an was still a little dissatisfied.

Because, really, they were really almost wiped out.

Although Xu Nian'an hadn't used up all his trump cards, it was a fact that they were almost wiped out.

This made Xu Nian'an understand that background and powerful influence are, after all, someone else's power.

Only when one becomes strong oneself is it true strength, and only then can one hang the enemy up and torture them.

Slowly opening his eyes, Xu Nian'an looked at Yan Shaozhe, Xian Lin'er... and the other Shrek Elders.

"You really are my good teacher. What kind of motorcade did you find for me? Do you know I almost died in this godforsaken place?"

Xu Nian'an's spirit was dazed at this moment. Having not slept for a long time, he had only rested for a while today, and afterward, he had experienced such a cruel battle. The injuries on his body and the exhaustion of his spirit had long since brought Xu Nian'an's body to its limit.

Hearing Xu Nian'an's words, Yan Shaozhe's face changed.

He had underestimated the seriousness of this matter. He indeed had not anticipated that this would happen during Xu Nian'an's soul hunting this time.

It could be said that among those present, besides the students, Yan Shaozhe was tied for the second person who did not want Xu Nian'an to have any problems.

Xu Nian'an had kicked Yan Shaozhe earlier, and Yan Shaozhe saw it but did not resist or fight back. In fact, it was not that he didn't have the thought of letting Xu Nian'an vent his anger.

But Yan Shaozhe had not expected Xu Nian'an's temper to be so great.

But thinking about it, he understood again.

Originally, Xu Nian'an wanted to ask for leave to go back and let the Xuanming Sect hunt for his third soul ring, but he had waved his hand and taken it on directly. Everyone knew what happened afterward.

And he almost let people die. It was no wonder Xu Nian'an would be so angry.

"No, Nian'an, I also didn't expect such a thing to happen..."

"After learning that you might be in danger, I rushed over immediately..."

Before Yan Shaozhe could finish speaking, Xu Nian'an turned his head and looked in the direction of the Xuanming Sect's Xu Jianyang and Xu Jianzong.

He raised his hand, and instantly his eyes became bloodshot, his chest feeling as if it were blocked by something.

*Squelch! *

The next second, a mouthful of stagnant blood was spat out, and Xu Nian'an only felt his head dizzy.

He wanted to pull himself together, but for some reason, no matter how he circulated his soul power, his head became more and more dizzy, until finally, he fell into darkness.

"Junior Brother Nian'an!"

"Nian'an!"

"Young Sect Master!"

The calls of Zhang Lexuan and the others came to his ears, but Xu Nian'an could not open his eyes.

"What's wrong? What's wrong! What on earth is going on!"

"We must save him!"

Eight soul rings—yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, black, black, green—appeared on Ye Yi Han's body.

"Nine Star Begonia!"

Following the blooming of a huge begonia flower, Xu Nian'an was slowly enveloped.

Before long, Shrek and the Xuanming Sect and others took the unconscious Xu Nian'an and Wu Ming, the injured Zhang Lexuan and others, and the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, which had been shackled by Xuan Lao, and left the spot, flying toward the mixed zone outside the core area.

Not long after Xu Nian'an and the others left, waves of scorching heat struck.

*Bang! *

The next instant, a crimson light body in the sky fell like a meteorite.

Instantly, the ground shattered inch by inch.

"Strange, that Black-Striped Leopard clearly told me that the Auspicious Beast should be right here."

A creature burning with black-red flames, over five meters long, looking somewhat like a lion but with three heads, muttered to itself.

After a while, the six nostrils on its three heads began to twitch crazily, and before long, its face changed.

"Despicable human!"

This beast was none other than the eighth on the list of the Ten Great Fierce Beasts, the Three-Headed Red Demon Mastiff, Chi Wang!

It had over three hundred thousand years of cultivation and was the guardian of the Auspicious Beast.

Originally, Chi Wang was in the Great Fierce Land, sensed the aura of humans coming to provoke, and went to join the fun. He was full of anger when he didn't make it in time.

When he returned and found that the Auspicious Beast, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, had left, he was full of resentment and searched the entire Star Dou Great Forest. Now that he had finally found the place of the Auspicious Beast, he didn't find the figure of the Auspicious Beast, but he found the aura of humans again.

Chi Wang didn't even need to think; this must be humans kidnapping the Auspicious Beast. It was simply courting death!

In the sky, a red meteorite moved rapidly toward the crowd.

When it was about to hit the crowd, the crowd parted, revealing an old man with a bruised and swollen face, dressed in white, covered in filth, his eyes burning with rage.

"Courting death!"

*Hum, hum, hum~*

Nine soul rings—yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, black, black, black, red—flashed, and powerful blood energy emerged, making Xuan Lao instantly turn into a bull-headed, pig-faced man covered in muscles.

*Bang! *

After a powerful impact sound, the two separated rapidly.

The meteorite turned into a soul beast five meters long, with three heads and two arms, burning with flames all over its body!

"Presumptuous, human, do you not want to walk out of the Star Dou Great Forest alive!"
