However, running the fastest also meant attracting the most attention.
The remaining Crimson Demon Dogs chased relentlessly behind everyone, with one leaping up, about to bite the male Disciple's leg.
Wu Ming, who was nearby, soared into the sky, her golden-red wings carrying her in front of the male Disciple, unleashing golden-red flame waves to repel the Crimson Demon Dog.
Wang Nan looked back, and seeing that no one was injured, he retracted his gaze.
However, the next moment, a lightning-fast red light shot out from the forest.
Wang Nan felt a slight sting in his Spiritual Sea, and instinctively activated his Invincible Shield. The next moment, the Level 5 Invincible Shield, which could block a Spirit Douluo's full-power attack, shattered in less than half a second.
Wang Nan felt his spirit power rapidly draining from his body, and the Golden Dragon Armor on him lit up. A Dragon shadow swiftly moved across the Armor, blocking where the red light was falling.
This was a new ability of the Golden Dragon Armor. It could concentrate all its defense at one point by consuming a large amount of spirit power, automatically blocking attacks far exceeding his own defensive power.
Even after being weakened twice by the Invincible Shield and the Golden Dragon Armor, Wang Nan still retreated several steps, his chest churning. But very quickly, a light golden glow lit up on his chest, and this feeling was immediately suppressed.
Only then did Wang Nan focus his attention on a three-headed Crimson Demon Dog that emerged from the forest.
Unlike the other Crimson Demon Dogs, this Crimson Demon Dog was much larger, and all three pairs of its eyes were crimson. As soon as it appeared, the eyes of the other Crimson Demon Dogs around it also began to turn crimson, their maws wide open, and viscous saliva continuously flowing from between their teeth.
This was a 100,000-year Spirit Beast, a variant among Crimson Demon Dogs: the Corrosion Moon Mad Mastiff.
Although Wang Nan still exuded Dragon Might, its effect on a 100,000-year Spirit Beast was much smaller. In fact, after it appeared, the other Crimson Demon Dogs also began to lose their fear of Wang Nan.
The pressure of a 100,000-year Spirit Beast swept across the entire scene, and some Inner Courtyard Disciples who had never seen a 100,000-year Spirit Beast actually began to tremble slightly.
"Don't hold back! Support system Disciples, give it your all!"
Zhang Lexuan took the lead, blocking the 100,000-year Spirit Beast.
In front of the 100,000-year Spirit Beast, the other Disciples no longer thought of escaping. Their cultivation was too far from that of a 100,000-year Spirit Beast, not to mention that the Spirit Beast in front of them was a canine, naturally good at speed.
For a time, various spirit rings lit up one after another, and Zhang Lexuan and the other attack system Disciples were instantly enveloped in various lights.
Zhang Lexuan's first, second, and third spirit rings lit up simultaneously, and the full moon in the sky, like a spirit tool firing spirit tool rays, continuously shot out moonlight beams.
On the other side, accompanied by a clear bird cry, Wu Ming rapidly attacked the Corrosion Moon Mad Mastiff. A golden-red outer garment draped over her, her radiance no less than Zhang Lexuan's full moon, making it look from afar like the sun and moon appearing simultaneously in the Star Dou Great Forest.
Facing the attacks of two Spirit Saints who had unleashed their Martial Soul True Body, the Corrosion Moon Mad Mastiff's two side heads simultaneously aimed at Wu Ming and Zhang Lexuan, and barks continuously resounded. Although there were only three sounds, they still made all the Disciples feel a cacophony and irritation.
Then, red light shot out from the two dog mouths. Only then did Wang Nan understand that these two red lights were the same as the one that had attacked him earlier. They looked like mere light, but were actually small puppies made of light.
Wu Ming and Zhang Lexuan were both battle-hardened, and the moment they saw the Corrosion Moon Mad Mastiff open its mouth, they were already pulling back to dodge.
Seeing the Corrosion Moon Mad Mastiff's third head look toward the Inner Courtyard Disciples, Wang Nan also swung his Rod upwards.
Earlier, while searching for Spirit Beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest, the other attack system Spirit Masters had consumed a lot of spirit power. At this point, dealing with the other 10,000-year Crimson Demon Dogs was already quite difficult. In comparison, Wang Nan was the strongest in combat.
He also knew that if he didn't step forward at this moment, once the Corrosion Moon Mad Mastiff prioritized eliminating the support system Disciples, who had no frontal resistance, it would be even more impossible to stop this Corrosion Moon Mad Mastiff without their enhancements.
Wang Nan's first move was his strongest fifth Spirit Ability. His fifth spirit ring lit up with a dark golden glow, and the figure of Bi'an emerged beside him, an invisible aura radiating toward the Corrosion Moon Mad Mastiff.
Wang Nan's fifth Spirit Ability was also different from before; it didn't need to hit the opponent. As soon as it was unleashed, it activated the power of rules, followed by a golden Great Dragon falling onto the Corrosion Moon Mad Mastiff.
Even a 100,000-year Spirit Beast experienced a momentary pause under the power of rules.
How keen were Zhang Lexuan and Wu Ming? Although they didn't know what method Wang Nan used to make the Corrosion Moon Mad Mastiff's Aura suddenly halt, this was the best time to attack.
All of Wu Ming's spirit rings lit up simultaneously, and the entire Star Dou Great Forest seemed to ignite, golden-red light dyeing the entire sky. On the other side, the full moon above Zhang Lexuan's head dimmed slightly, then its center completely turned black, leaving only a silver-white moon ring descending from the sky, landing on the Corrosion Moon Mad Mastiff.
Immediately, the Corrosion Moon Mad Mastiff's red fur was stained silver-white. After being 'sealed' by Wang Nan and then simultaneously attacked by at least three 10,000-year Spirit Abilities, even a 100,000-year Spirit Beast could not easily withstand it.
"Awoo—"
Another long howl came from the Corrosion Moon Mad Mastiff's mouth. In an instant, dense blood-red color spread from beneath its feet.
Both the flames on Wu Ming and the full moon behind Zhang Lexuan were subtly tinged with a hint of blood-red.
Immense pressure descended from the sky, and the weaker Inner Courtyard Disciples unconsciously began to gasp for air.
The sky instantly darkened, and the sun high in the sky seemed to have a piece bitten off, becoming incomplete. Even the sunlight it cast turned into an eerie blood-red.
The aura of the 100,000-year Spirit Beast was completely unleashed at this moment, but Wang Nan's eyes remained fearless. His eyes gradually turned golden, and the Spirit Bone on his chest constantly pulsed, golden blood erupting from it and flowing throughout his body.
Boiling Blood, no, Spirit Bone Ability—Xuanhuang.
Heartbeats continuously resounded, and Wang Nan's aura grew stronger and stronger. The Spirit Ability Xuanhuang continuously amplified Wang Nan's entire body. This Spirit Ability, evolved from Boiling Blood, had no upper limit and would continuously enhance all his attributes until it reached Wang Nan's physical limit.
The Inner Courtyard Disciples beside Wang Nan felt as if a mountain peak had appeared beside them and was continuously rising, even making the Corrosion Moon Mad Mastiff's pressure fade a little.
Wang Nan's right arm also emitted golden light, and the aura on his body increased again. The golden Coiling Dragon Staff in his right hand had retracted all its light, and everyone clearly saw the true appearance of that golden rod.
It was another unadorned rod.
Great sound is silent; the Coiling Dragon Staff landed on the Corrosion Moon Mad Mastiff without any sound, yet no one would question the power of this rod.
Wang Nan didn't know how much effect this rod would have, but he no longer needed to worry. In the distance, a yellowish-brown light was rapidly approaching, and vaguely, he could still see a pair of huge bull horns.
