Having landed a blow, Di Tian showed no joy on his face, his gaze fixed on Bibi Dong's shattered body, his eyes narrowed slightly.
To keep this group of people here, he immediately used his strongest move: Dragon God Claw.
But the effect didn't seem satisfactory. The opponent's aura didn't weaken, and that tattered body still radiated a powerful soul power fluctuation, its vitality still vigorous.
Bibi Dong's body, as if every piece of flesh and every drop of blood had its own consciousness, wriggled and converged towards the main body.
Fractured bones reset, broken flesh healed, blood returned to the blood vessels, and the heartbeat slowly began to beat. Bibi Dong, lying on the ground, suddenly opened her eyes.
Her exquisite face carried a trace of Strange , and her brows were full of dignified .
She was not yet the Empress of the Spirit Empire in the original story, and her soul power was far from its peak.
She is currently only at level 96. Although relying on her "Undying Body" and twin martial spirits, ordinary level 97, or even level 98 Super Douluos may not be her opponents, she is still far behind Di Tian, who has reached the limit of the human world. [PS1:]
"Hmph, a very interesting ability, but how many times can you use it?" Di Tian stared at Bibi Dong coldly, his golden dragon eyes filled with violence and disdain.
Xiong Jun had already engaged Qian Jun and Jiang Mo. Its offensive was extremely violent and fierce. In the previous sneak attack, these two had injured it the most!
Qian Jun and Jiang Mo dared not be careless in the slightest. The two joined forces, the Panlong staff flying up and down, waving impenetrably, and for a time actually suppressed Xiong Jun.
Mo Xiong, Gui Bao, and Tuoba Xi entangled Titan Giant Ape and Azure Bull Python.
Guang Ling, Yue Guan, and Gui Mei stood beside Bibi Dong, facing Di Tian together.
Walter manipulated the thread puppets, constantly harassing Azure Bull Python, Titan Giant Ape, and Xiong Jun. His attack power was not strong, but every time he struck, it was at a very critical moment, bringing great trouble to these three soul beasts.
Azure Bull Python, after being entangled by the threads and stagnating for a moment, was almost cut off at the throat by Gui Bao's claw.
Bi Ji, although kind and peace-loving, would not hold back at this moment. The other party came to harm the lives of soul beasts, so naturally they must have the awareness of being killed.
Her kindness and benevolence have principles.
A pair of emerald green wings unfolded behind Bi Ji, each feather as gorgeous and dazzling as the most exquisite gemstone.
Glimmers of light appeared on the wings, forming a phantom of the wings, which suddenly spread out, covering a large area around.
The injuries on Titan Giant Ape and Azure Bull Python healed at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Xiong Jun grinned hideously, and his offensive became even more fierce. It didn't defend at all, because under Bi Ji's treatment, any wound would disappear quickly.
"Not good… what kind of soul beast is that?" Jiang Mo glanced at Bi Ji, a murderous intent surging in his eyes.
"Probably a Emerald Swan… It's really surprising that a Emerald Swan can grow to this extent without being eaten by other soul beasts… If we can go back this time, we will tell this news to the Great Priest and Miss, she is very suitable to be Miss's soul ring." Qian Jun responded.
Sensing their malice towards Bi Ji, Xiong Jun became even more violent, "You two bastards, don't think about Bi Ji, I want you to die!"
Condensed and dazzling light gathered, adding a touch of sharpness to the dark gold bear claws.
Qian Jun's ninth soul skill lit up, and bursts of dragon roars rang out on the Panlong staff, dark gold light patterns swimming on the staff body.
He swung the staff from bottom to top, colliding with the descending bear paw.
Boom!
Soul power collided, and the air surged.
Qian Jun was defeated and flew out, a trace of blood spilling from the corner of his mouth.
"Ferocious Thread Spear!"
Walter used his fifth soul skill, and the spear formed by the threads stabbed towards Xiong Jun's eye socket.
"Annoying fellow." Xiong Jun shattered the spear with a palm.
If it was directly pierced into the eye socket and through the head, Xiong Jun was not sure whether Bi Ji's treatment could handle it, so it dared not ignore it.
A curved blade of light suddenly flew over, cutting Walter into two sections.
This was Bi Ji's attack. Although Emerald Swans are not good at fighting, at Bi Ji's level of cultivation, it is naturally impossible to have no attack power at all.
Walter turned into threads and scattered, and then, under the injection of the main body's soul power in the distance, the scattered threads quickly condensed, re-forming a puppet clone.
Bi Ji stared at the threads connecting the puppet from all directions. After watching for a while, she gave up the idea of finding the source along the complex, tangled threads.
On the other side, Bibi Dong, with the help of her "Undying Body" and Guang Ling, Yue Guan, and Gui Mei, barely held off Di Tian, but defeat was only a matter of time.
… …
Beside the Lake of Life, Three-Eyed Golden Lion turned around and paced back and forth anxiously.
Chi Wang guarded it closely, no more than ten meters away.
"Auspicious Beast, you don't need to be so nervous. Believe in Di Tian and the others, they can handle it." Chi Wang comforted dryly.
Three-Eyed Golden Lion glanced at Chi Wang and shook his head: "You don't understand. This time, the destiny gave me a revelation that the future of Star Dou Great Forest is almost cut off… within ten years!"
"Hey, Rabbit, don't think about your sweetheart all day long. Come and tell me about that human named Amon. Think carefully again, is there anything you haven't said?" Three-Eyed Golden Lion said to Xiao Wu, who looked melancholy.
Xiao Wu shook her head, "I really don't know. That person gives people a terrible feeling… By the way, my soul skill was probably stolen by him. He said before that he would steal something important from me. At the championship, my soul skill was lost."
Three-Eyed Golden Lion suddenly pricked up its ears and looked vigilantly to the side.
A thin young man wearing a black robe, a pointed soft hat, and a monocle on his right eye walked slowly out of the forest, walking slowly towards them.
Scarlet King slowly climbed to its feet, its left head glancing sideways at Amon: "Auspicious beast, no need to worry. In the past three years, I've killed no fewer than 50 of these things."
The Three-Eyed Golden Lion's expression changed drastically, its eyes revealing extreme horror and fear:
"Run! Run! Scarlet King, quickly call Di Tian back!"
Its voice was shrill, as if it had seen something terrifying.
Scarlet King was stunned for a moment, then laughed loudly: "Auspicious beast, watch me. No need to be so nervous."
Amon put down the wooden barrel behind him, wisps of ominous black mist emerging from it.
The lid of the barrel was pushed open, revealing what was inside: a person who was unconscious.
His name was Javid Perez, the last member of a noble family in the Star Luo Empire that had been destroyed.
Javid's martial soul was similar to Ghost Douluo's, it was a ghost.
His family had been slaughtered by a soul master, and he was the only survivor. That soul master, however, had surrendered to a larger noble and, with their support, brazenly occupied their family's territory, becoming the new lord there.
Therefore, Javid also became a revenger. He spent more than ten years raising his soul power to over level fifty, but his talent ended there. His soul power grew more and more slowly, but his enemy, the soul master who had become a new noble, was a Soul Sage.
More than ten years had not diminished his hatred; on the contrary, it had grown even more intense.
After Amon found him, he made a deal with him. Amon would avenge him, causing his enemy to die in the most painful way, on the condition that he would offer his life to pledge allegiance to Amon.
Javid agreed to the deal without much thought.
Amon gave him two soul bones to help him reach level 60, and then sent him to acquire the designated soul skill.
Fortunately, he succeeded and obtained the soul skill Amon wanted.
Afterward, Amon fulfilled his promise. In front of Javid, he killed the Soul Sage's family members one by one.
He broke the Soul Sage's limbs, crippled his cultivation, and left him at Javid's disposal.
In fact, Javid was not the only candidate. Before him, Amon had found several others, but they had all failed to obtain the soul skill he desired.
This soul skill was also one of the key preparations Amon had made for this hunt.
Javid's sixth soul skill was called: Grudge Curse.
The activation condition was to sacrifice one's own life, and the effect was to inflict damage on a designated target.
The damage suffered by the target was related to the cultivation level and distance between the two parties. If the opponent's cultivation level was higher than one's own, the more it exceeded, the less damage was received. The farther the distance between the two parties when activated, the less damage the target received. Moreover, for powerhouses above the Soul Emperor level, the damage would be greatly reduced.
The effect of the sacrifice was also related to the sacrificer's own state. The more abundant and better the soul power, physical strength, and physical condition, the greater the damage caused by the sacrifice.
"Grudge Curse" was extremely restricted, but relatively, it also had very terrifying characteristics.
The damage caused by "Grudge Curse" was unblockable, unavoidable, and incurable within a day. It was a rule-based skill like causality.
If used against low-level targets, it could almost assassinate the opponent without leaving a trace. In certain moments of political struggle, it could have a good effect.
Javid also thought that Amon wanted him to kill some important imperial official that Amon himself could not conveniently deal with.
But Amon had his own use for it. If the damage wasn't enough, he would make up for it with quantity.
As Scarlet King revealed its killing intent, Amon smiled slightly and snapped his fingers.
The thousands of Worms of Time in the barrel stole soul skills and sacrificed themselves one after another.
The activation condition of "Grudge Curse" was to sacrifice oneself. After the sacrifice, the clone died, and the soul skill would immediately return to the original owner.
Amon could not steal this skill from a clone that had used "Grudge Curse". He had to bring Javid along to continuously cast it.
A large amount of black mist emerged, carrying a strange and ominous aura, slowly rising, and then disappearing without a trace.
At the same time, a faint black mist appeared on Scarlet King's body. Blood overflowed from the corner of its mouth, and its vitality rapidly drained away. Although there was no change in appearance, all of its internal organs had failed.
Scarlet King's eyes revealed horror. It wanted to call for Di Tian's arrival, but in almost the blink of an eye, it had become so weak that it could hardly mobilize a trace of soul power.
Without the blessing of soul power, it could not make a loud enough roar to remind Di Tian of what was happening here, and its eyes revealed regret and unwillingness.
It regretted not listening to the Three-Eyed Golden Lion's warning and asking Di Tian for help at the first moment, and it was unwilling to die so unclearly.
Scarlet King still didn't know what Amon had done, but it had directly brought it fatal injuries without even starting a fight.
Amon raised his right hand and pinched the top and bottom edges of his monocle with his index finger and thumb, and said in a deep voice:
"Sacrificing more than five thousand Worms of Time, this is an unprecedented loss for me. You can be proud of yourself. I guarantee that even if I have to kill Di Tian in the future, I won't have to make such a great sacrifice."
PS1: In the original work, when Bibi Dong faced Tang Hao in the Soul Master Competition, the narration described that she had always taken him as her goal, and her aura was not as good as his. Later, when she became Rakshasa God and faced Tang San, she claimed that she had already reached her peak, but she could not exert her full strength because she was accepting the inheritance. The two conflicted, and I adopted the description from the Soul Master Competition.
The credibility of information in the article should be: Narration explanation > psychological activity > character's language and actions.
However, here it is likely that the original author swallowed the setting.
