Long before Cheng Xiao began his observation of the three, Snake Lance Douluo Yu Long and Porcupinefish Douluo Ci Xue had already sensed something. As Title Douluos, their perception was undoubtedly far superior.
At first, they thought it was just a Soul Beast passing by, so they didn't pay much attention. After all, they were in the Star Dou Great Forest, and Soul Beasts were common.
However, as time passed, when that probing gaze came again, they immediately realized something was wrong. Yu Long immediately hurled his Snake Lance, which shot directly towards a dark corner of the forest ahead.
At the same time, Cheng Xiao didn't sit idly by. The instant the Snake Lance came, the Shadow Soldiers immediately appeared. Then, led by the Ghost Tiger, the Shadow Soldiers scattered, running in the opposite direction, hoping to use this opportunity to draw away the two Title Douluos.
The movement of a dozen Shadow Soldiers was not small. Yu Long, unable to pinpoint Cheng Xiao's exact location, noticed the Shadow Soldiers emerging from the forest the moment he threw his Snake Lance. However, in his eyes, they were just a herd of Soul Beasts trying to flee.
"Why are there so many Soul Beasts here? Could they have sensed Young Master's aura and want to cause trouble?" Ci Xue, the Porcupinefish Douluo, glanced at Qian Renxue, who was absorbing her sixth Soul Ring, and reminded Yu Long.
"No, this is a critical moment for Young Master to absorb her Soul Ring. We can't let these beasts affect her." Yu Long, the Snake Lance Douluo, looked grimly at the fleeing Soul Beasts. With a wave of his hand, his Snake Lance whistled back to him.
"What should we do?" Porcupinefish Douluo Ci Xue asked.
"Just stay here and guard," Snake Lance Douluo Yu Long said, gripping his Snake Lance tightly. "These Soul Beasts aren't very strong. As long as the two of us are here, they won't be able to get close to Young Master."
Hearing this, Snake Lance Douluo Ci Xue also nodded. Then, with a fierce glare, he scanned his surroundings, preventing the commotion caused by those Soul Beasts from affecting Qian Renxue.
Seeing that Snake Lance Douluo and Ci Xue Douluo were staying put, Cheng Xiao gave another order to the Man Faced Demon Spider. A purple orb of light suddenly shot out from the forest. In the astonished gazes of the two elders, this purple orb instantly unfurled, and a giant spider web descended from the sky.
This spider web came too suddenly; Snake Lance Douluo and Ci Xue Douluo hadn't even reacted. In their subconscious, shouldn't low-level Soul Beasts run far away after sensing the aura of high-level Soul Masters?
But what was happening now? Could it be that even thousand-year Soul Beasts dared to attack a Title Douluo?
"Beast, you're courting death!" Snake Lance Douluo Yu Long pointed his Snake Lance at the spider web and roared in anger.
Golden electricity flashed from the tip of his Snake Lance, and a golden light flashed. The spider web was immediately split in two. Snake Lance Douluo himself then charged out, Snake Lance in hand.
As a Title Douluo, he naturally recognized the spider web. It was the evil, murderous Man Faced Demon Spider, which could devour Soul Beasts and Soul Masters to increase its cultivation. It had now set its sights on Young Master. If it wasn't killed here, it would surely cause a lot of trouble.
Seeing Snake Lance Douluo charging towards him, the Man Faced Demon Spider ran away, not intending to stop for a moment. The communication between the Shadow Soldiers and the King was very simple. Once the King had an idea, the Shadow Soldiers would immediately execute it. The order Cheng Xiao had just given was to lure the Snake Lance Douluo away.
But it wasn't realistic to let the Man Faced Demon Spider face Snake Lance Douluo alone. So, Cheng Xiao sent out seven Shadow Soldiers to impede Snake Lance Douluo's speed. Although they couldn't defeat him, they could still buy some time.
After Snake Lance Douluo chased after the Man Faced Demon Spider, Cheng Xiao's gaze fell upon Porcupinefish Douluo Ci Xue. Compared to Snake Lance Douluo, Ci Xue's speed was slower, and he was currently guarding Qian Renxue, making it unlikely he could be lured away.
Therefore, Cheng Xiao decided to take the initiative. Eight Shadow Soldiers with thousand-year cultivation would disrupt Qian Renxue's Soul Ring absorption. Although the Shadow Soldiers would be instantly killed by a Title Douluo, they could revive quickly! As long as there was Shadow Power remaining in their bodies, the Shadow Soldiers could revive endlessly!
"Ghost Tiger, Fang, go!" Cheng Xiao commanded. Ghost Tiger and Fang shot out like arrows, instantly charging forward. Their target was precise, directly rushing towards Qian Renxue, who was absorbing her Soul Ring.
Behind them, the other six Shadow Soldiers emerged. Their target wasn't Qian Renxue, but the menacing Porcupinefish Douluo.
"Damn it, their target is indeed Young Master." Porcupinefish Douluo instantly completed his Martial Soul Avatar. His body swelled up like a balloon, and countless purple spikes emerged from his surface, covering his entire body.
At this moment, his appearance became much more ferocious. Even his hands turned into purple spikes, looking like spiked clubs, and his entire body was enveloped in this special purple color.
Porcupines are creatures from the sea. When they encounter danger, they inflate their spikes to protect themselves. They possess the abilities of poison, invulnerability, and spike emission, making them quite troublesome.
Seeing those Soul Beasts charging towards Qian Renxue, Porcupinefish Douluo was also anxious. With his level above ninety, he directly activated his Martial Soul True Body. His vast Soul Power fluctuations erupted, and the invisible pressure suppressed the approaching Shadow Soldiers, making them unable to move. Even Ghost Tiger and Fang were unable to move under this Soul Power pressure.
In a moment of urgency, Porcupinefish Douluo Ci Xue swiftly dispatched the six Soul Beasts in front of him. Then, raising his hand, he unleashed a barrage of purple spikes, piercing through the Ghost Tiger and Fangs, killing them instantly without hesitation.
Hiding behind a tree trunk, Cheng Xiao watched this unfold. He slowly raised his hand, and black mist erupted once more. Several wisps of black energy transformed back into Shadow Soldiers. They charged forward again as before, completely oblivious to the astonished expression on Porcupinefish Douluo Ci Xue's face.
"What's going on? Why are there so many Soul Beasts again?" Porcupinefish Douluo Ci Xue was stunned. Hadn't he already killed these Soul Beasts once? Why had they reappeared? And why were those two Soul Beasts still leading them?
Though puzzled, Porcupinefish Douluo Ci Xue still chose to eliminate these Soul Beasts. He didn't believe that a mere few thousand-year Soul Beasts could cause any trouble.
However, what Snake Lance Douluo Yu Long didn't notice was that Qian Renxue, who was absorbing her sixth Soul Ring, began to break out in a cold sweat after sensing the fluctuations in Soul Power. The sixth Soul Ring, which was about to be successfully absorbed, began to flicker in and out of view. Clearly, she was ultimately affected.
