Chapter 58: The Dao Master Realm, Plotting Against the Crimson King
Xiong Jun realized that he had underestimated the cunning of the Demon King.
He always thought that those who played tricks were dirty, and his lifelong pursuit was to fight if he disagreed with someone!
Even if it were the Beast Emperor Tian, he would dare to scratch him a couple of times with his Sky-Tearing Claw!
Right now, the Demon King sold him out without hesitation, making him wish he could tear the old tree roots off with his own claws!
Although the King of Slaughter has one foot in the god-level, the two of them working together are definitely capable of protecting themselves.
"Damn it, this guy wasn't putting in any effort at all!"
"Now it's run away again! That old tree spirit is definitely up to no good!"
Xiong Jun cursed inwardly, but his feet didn't stop moving the momentarily.
He had just killed Tang Xiao and the other two, and he used his two trump cards and ultimate moves in succession!
His body simply cannot withstand the backlash from using the Sky-Rending Claw again!
He couldn't use these trump cards; he wasn't confident he could withstand Tang Chen's terrifying sword strike.
"call out!"
Just then, Tang Chen gripped his sword with both hands, his entire body merging into a red light, and slashed the longsword down heavily from above.
A sword aura carrying the killing power of the Asura God soared into the sky and slashed straight at Xiong Jun.
With his aura locked on, Xiong Jun had no way to dodge.
"roar!!"
He roared to the sky, and his dark gold fur shone brightly once more, revealing a golden shield on his back!
The sword energy struck the shield, instantly producing cracking sounds. In less than half a breath, the golden shield shattered.
With a whoosh, the sword energy struck Xiong Jun's back heavily, creating a deep wound that exposed bone, splattering blood and fragments of broken bone.
"roar!!"
Despite the pain, Xiong Jun dared not stop running. He moved with lightning speed, rushing towards the Star Dou Great Forest.
This was the first time in a long time that he had missed Di Tian so much.
Perhaps only Di Tian can stop this bloodthirsty guy.
The blood splattered from Xiong Jun's back flew onto the face of the King of Slaughter, further amplifying his ferocity!
Bloodlust filled his mind, and murderous thoughts tried to annihilate his soul.
Tang Chen's eyes were a constant mix of clarity and confusion.
For a fleeting moment, Tang Chen, in his lucid state, saw Xiong Jun fleeing and also saw the Haotian Sect collapsing under flames.
Having dealt with blood for many years, he sensed that the faint blood connection to his own body had been completely severed.
At that moment, Tang Chen's eyes turned completely blood red.
He completely surrendered his mind to the Nine-Headed Bat King, seeking only to slaughter all these ferocious beasts!
"Hahaha!! You can't escape!"
"Become my food, obediently!"
The King of Slaughter let out a sharp screech, flapped his wings, and quickly chased after the fleeing Bear King and the King of Ten Thousand Demons.
The wind howled, the clouds trembled, and terrifying aftershocks erupted before gradually dissipating in the sky.
Ye Ming did not stop using the Hidden Scale Gu; instead, he secretly communicated with the Three-Eyed Golden Lion.
Previously, Xiong Jun and Wan Yao Wang joined forces to save people, and to avoid her getting hurt, they let her stay in the Ancient Scar Mountains behind.
Upon hearing Ye Ming's shout, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion galloped swiftly towards the scene.
It must be said that the vitality of a 200,000-year-old soul beast is extremely tenacious.
Even now, the Crimson King, whose two heads had been severed and whose third head had been cleaved by the King of Slaughter, still lay on the mountain peak with his head drooping, breathing softly.
At this moment, however, his eyes were dull and lifeless, and his heart was filled with gloom.
He was already so badly injured that he was powerless to expel the murderous aura within him and could only let it wreak havoc.
Even Brigitte was powerless to save him from this injury.
"I never imagined that after more than 200,000 years, I would die here today."
The Crimson King murmured to himself, quietly sensing the passing of life within his body.
Just then, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion suddenly appeared in front of him, riding on a gentle breeze.
"Uncle Red King!!"
"Don't die! I'll take you back so my mother can save you!"
The three-eyed golden lion burst into tears and circled around the red king's head, bewildered.
A glint appeared in the Crimson King's eyes. He connected his remaining soul power with the Three-Eyed Golden Lion and transmitted his voice:
"Little Golden Lion, don't bother. My injuries are too severe; even a god couldn't save me."
"Go back quickly! While that strange man is gone, hurry back to the Star Dou Great Forest!"
"That way, Uncle can rest in peace."
The three-eyed golden lion cried out, "Uncle Red King, I don't want you to die!"
"There's a way! There must be a way! I'll take you back to save you right now!"
Ever since she was born in the Star Dou Great Forest, the Crimson King has been by her side as she grows up.
To her, the Red King was like a parent.
She ran to the lower abdomen of the Crimson King, trying to carry him back to the Star Dou Great Forest.
But the Crimson King is now in his true form, his size like a mountain, so how could her small body possibly bear it?
The Crimson King transmitted his voice haltingly: "Little Golden Lion, it's...it's no use. Uncle...is beyond saving."
The three-eyed golden lion wailed loudly.
At this moment, a figure with dark blue lightning wings flew over and landed not far from the Crimson King's drooping head.
"No, you can still be saved!" Ye Ming said softly, looking at the dying Crimson King before him.
"Humans!!!"
"Damn human! Get out of here!"
The Crimson King's furious voice echoed in Ye Ming's mind, but it did not affect his state of mind in the slightest.
The Crimson King is now in a state of near-death experience, unable to even swing its claws, so Ye Ming is naturally unafraid.
At this moment, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion hurriedly ran to Ye Ming's feet, rubbed against his calf, and explained to the Crimson King, "Uncle Crimson King, he is not a bad person."
"He's the one who helped me escape from that sect, which is why I had the opportunity to ask you for help."
Hearing the Three-Eyed Golden Lion's words, the Crimson King finally felt relieved.
It's no wonder he was so at ease, because the Three-Eyed Golden Lion possesses the power of destiny and is born with the ability to distinguish between good and evil in soul beasts and humans.
The fact that she is so close to this human is enough to show that this human is not inherently bad.
The Crimson King didn't think this human had any way to save him. Instead, he used his remaining soul power to transmit his voice:
"Human, don't waste your energy. I hope you can take the little golden lion back to the Star Dou Great Forest as soon as possible. If you need a reward, you can take the soul bone that appeared after my death."
Ye Ming shook his head. "I have a way to save you. The way is for you to become my sixth soul ring."
"I think a soul beast of your level is already capable of entrusting its soul to a soul ring. In that case, as long as I don't die, you won't die either."
"Even the moment I become a god, you will break through to godhood and be resurrected!"
Ye Ming finished speaking in one breath and quietly looked at the Crimson King.
The Red King's soul bone after his death was indeed good, but how could it be as fragrant as turning the other party into a sixth soul ring?
His current physical condition is sufficient to withstand a 100,000-year-level spirit ring, but it is difficult for him to withstand the Crimson King's spirit ring, which is close to 300,000 years old.
Therefore, this requires the cooperation of the other party.
Ye Ming's idea has a high success rate.
Ten thousand years later on the Douluo Continent, this is called a Soul Spirit!
