Chapter 21: Fleeing for Life, Severely Injured!
"A soul beast with dual Extreme Attributes, how is this possible!" Wang Xian'er exclaimed.
"Humans."
The trees of the forest swayed gently.
The San Yan Jin Ni descended from the treetops to the ground, its body wreathed in the aura of flame and light.
Even if it wasn't quite at the extreme level, it was likely not far off.
"We mean no harm; we will leave once the spirit ring is absorbed," Wang Xian'er said cautiously.
"The opponents are two Title Douluo; do not get too close to them."
An abrupt voice rang out, heavy as the netherworld of hell, causing the expressions of Manyi and Wang Xian'er to sink once more.
A few meters to the side of the San Yan Jin Ni, a giant hound-like creature with a body five meters long appeared.
This creature had three heads.
"Another hundred-thousand-year soul beast!?" Manyi's pupils contracted.
A Fierce Beast.
This aura was definitely that of a Fierce Beast from the Star Dou Great Forest.
"Hell Three-Headed Hound, are you Chi Wang?" Medical Immortal Douluo Wang Xian'er stepped forward, her face full of vigilance.
"Hmm?"
Chi Wang tilted its head, sizing up the rejuvenated Wang Xian'er: "So it's the one who snuck near the Sheng Ming Zhi Hu a few years ago."
"I let you escape with that Soul Guidance Device back then; I didn't expect you to dare appear before me again." Chi Wang sniffed fiercely with its nose.
"So that's it, you found a way to extend your life."
"Chi Wang, we mean no harm," Wang Xian'er took a deep breath, "Killing that soul beast was an accident, please..."
"Heh." Chi Wang sneered, "You humans are truly shameless."
"Coming to the Star Dou Great Forest to hunt soul beasts, and it was an accident?"
"What, do you still want us to open a convenient door for you?"
"Humans."
Chi Wang's voice was hoarse, its gaze passing over Wang Xian'er's position.
"Those two are your juniors, right? How about we play a game?"
"Chi Wang, what grudge do you have with these humans?" The San Yan Jin Ni wore a human-like smile, seemingly very interested in watching the drama.
"Nothing much, just got scolded once."
"Complaining about how I didn't even know when humans snuck to the Sheng Ming Zhi Hu."
The spirit ring on Xu Jiujiu's body began to stabilize.
"Looks like I'm a step late; the absorption is complete." Chi Wang frowned slightly. It was clearly in a stable state just a moment ago, so why did it withstand the soul shock of a ten-thousand-year soul beast in such a short time?
Xu Jiujiu stood up and noticed everything around her.
She whispered to Xiadie: "Thank you."
"It's nothing," Xiadie shook her head gently, "We are in trouble now."
Although Manyi and Wang Xian'er did not understand how Xiadie managed to speed up the spirit ring absorption, they knew this was not the time to discuss it.
Wang Xian'er gave Manyi a look.
Manyi understood, grabbing one person in each hand and lifting Xiadie and Xu Jiujiu with her soul power.
Under the enhancement of her martial soul, the Nebula Fan, Manyi was surrounded by wind-attribute elements as she flew in the opposite direction of Chi Wang and the San Yan Jin Ni.
"Auspicious Beast, go back first."
Chi Wang did not act immediately, its deep red, terrifying soul power slowly surging forth.
"I'm not going back, I can fight too."
After the San Yan Jin Ni said this arrogantly, it transformed into a streak of white light, aiming directly at the direction where Xiadie and the others were fleeing.
"Come back!"
Chi Wang was so anxious it almost jumped, its four limbs emitting crackling sounds of flame.
Red flames covered its entire body.
With a *whoosh*, it chased after the Auspicious Beast San Yan Jin Ni.
"You aren't going anywhere."
The life energy she unleashed blocked the path and rapidly transformed into death-attribute soul power.
Chi Wang was startled by the cold, terrifying aura, and its body stopped instinctively.
"Death Attribute." For the first time, surprise appeared on Chi Wang's face, "You, a Healing Spirit Master, can actually use the power of the Death Attribute."
"There is still much you don't know!"
Wang Xian'er felt immense pressure, but if she didn't stop Chi Wang, things would be even more troublesome.
"Human!"
Chi Wang, in its true form as the Hell Three-Headed Hound, had all three heads speak at once.
"You have angered me."
Chi Wang's three heads opened their blood-red maws simultaneously, biting toward Wang Xian'er.
Its cultivation, equivalent to a 97th-rank Title Douluo and belonging to a 310,000-year Fierce Beast, was revealed in full.
For a moment, the earth shook.
Sky-piercing energy vented onto the surface.
The clash between death and flame continued.
On the other side, Manyi was popping healing pills, but her path was blocked by a white-gold light.
"I have caught up to you."
Just as San Yan Jin Ni finished speaking, a tornado over ten meters high came rushing toward it.
"You dare to attack me still."
San Yan Jin Ni let out a roar like both a lion and a tiger, a spherical fireball gathering at its mouth.
The fireball grew larger and larger, reaching a full five or six meters.
"Go!" The spherical fireball was shot toward the tornado.
"Boom!"
The explosion tore through the sky, a fusion of wind and fire.
The impact collided.
The sky looked like a scene of clouds set ablaze.
Bursts of firestorms poured down from the sky to the ground.
The wind borrowed the fire's momentum, and the fire aided the wind's might.
The dense vegetation was ignited, and a raging inferno began to burn.
The energy generated by the storm sent San Yan Jin Ni, which only had 15,000 years of cultivation, flying.
Along with San Yan Jin Ni, Manyi also fell to the ground, carrying Xu Jiujiu and Xiadie.
"Your Highness, Miss Xiadie."
"Take this chance to leave; I will hold off this Spirit beast."
"Alright."
Xu Jiujiu grabbed Xiadie's wrist.
Soul power attached to her feet, and the wind blew through Xu Jiujiu's long hair.
Starlight dotted the air, and the crown of her Star Crown martial soul hovered above her head, emitting a vast aura of stars.
"Trying to run."
San Yan Jin Ni roared again, its bright eyes gradually turning blood-red.
It looked just like a gambler who had lost their mind.
"Humans, you shall all stay here!"
A powerful surge of Spirit Power twisted space, bypassing Manyi, a rank 93 Titled Douluo.
Like an arrow released from a bow, it struck out toward the direction of Xiadie and Xu Jiujiu.
"Stop!"
Manyi sensed the anomaly and was shocked.
This Spirit Power was too terrifying.
How could this be? How could there actually be a Spirit beast with an Extreme Attribute of Spirit in this world?
A Spirit beast with only over ten thousand years of cultivation—why is it so strong? Three types of Extreme Attributes; is this something a Spirit beast can achieve?
Manyi wanted to block it, but it was already too late.
That Spirit energy, capable of manifesting in reality and twisting space, was traveling at an unimaginable speed.
It was almost just a step away from Xiadie and Xu Jiujiu, who had just moved away from Manyi.
Xu Jiujiu, who was still pulling Xiadie along in a desperate escape, felt the surrounding space suddenly go quiet.
A faint fragrance of flowers drifted in from all sides.
"Domain: Yishi Mingyu."
A voice, neither light nor slow, seemed capable of soothing the heart.
Xu Jiujiu only had time to notice the ground beneath her feet; the withered branches that had been buried in the soil of the forest had already disappeared, replaced by blue-purple flowers that bloomed rapidly and spread quickly in all directions.
"You can stop now, Sister Jiu Jiu." Xu Jiujiu, who was holding Xiadie's hand, suddenly could not pull her any further.
At this moment, a radius of fifty meters was covered in flowers.
"Ah!"
A scream startled Xu Jiujiu back to her senses.
She saw that the Spirit beast that had been chasing them in the distance suddenly let out a miserable cry.
It clutched its head, slammed heavily onto the ground, and rolled around incessantly.
