Chapter 24: The Furious Red King and the Dark Gold Claws!
"Young Lord, run!"
Snake Lance Douluo suddenly turned, his expression grave, his tone revealing an unprecedented seriousness as he said, "We are not this Spirit Beast's match. Porcupinefish and I will hold it back!"
Porcupinefish Douluo also roared, "Young Lord, run!"
As soon as his words fell, the Red King slowly stepped forward, its heavy footsteps making the ground tremble slightly with each step.
Hearing this, Qian Renxue's gaze was fixed on the Red King and the Emperor Ruishou, her internal struggle of weighing options surging one after another.
Should I really retreat now? She hesitated slightly. As the Legacy of the Seraphim Spirit, Qian Renxue had never truly feared any enemy, but this hundred-thousand-year Spirit Beast before her, possessing intelligence and astonishing strength, if they were to fight head-on… the outcome would likely be grim.
But just as she was still hesitating.
"Roar!!!"
The Red King's three heads roared in unison, letting out an earth-shattering bellow, instantly transforming into a blood-red afterimage, and fiercely pounced towards Qian Renxue!
"Young Lord, run!!"
Snake Lance Douluo roared, flashing forward again at the first opportunity. His Snake Lance instantly turned into a golden light, piercing directly at the Red King's left head. Porcupinefish Douluo was not to be outdone, his spirit power surging, his body suddenly expanding, and he charged towards the Red King like a high-speed meteor!
"Boom!!!"
The Red King showed no hesitation. Its central head among the three tilted slightly, letting out a low growl. The terrifying sound waves rattled Porcupinefish Douluo's spirit power, sending him flying before he even got close!
Immediately after, the Red King's front paw slammed down, a palm enveloped in terrifying dark-red flames striking out, instantly colliding with Snake Lance Douluo.
"Pfft—!"
Immediately, Snake Lance Douluo's body flew backward like a kite with a broken string, crashing through several ancient towering trees before finally stopping, spitting out mouthfuls of blood, his Qi weakening by more than half in an instant!
"What? In less than two rounds, two Titled Douluo were defeated like this?" Qian Renxue's face changed drastically again as she looked at the scene before her, disbelieving.
If Snake Lance Douluo and Porcupinefish Douluo being repelled earlier had an element of surprise attack, this last strike was a direct confrontation, wasn't it???
Qian Renxue finally understood that the current situation was no longer something she could control.
The next second, Qian Renxue's wings behind her suddenly unfurled, golden light shining, her body like a golden streak of light, suddenly soaring into the sky!
Whoosh—!
With a powerful burst of spirit power, Qian Renxue fully activated her Seraphim Spirit, instantly transforming into a rapidly moving golden rainbow, speeding towards the outer reaches of the Star Dou Great Forest!
Seeing this, the Red King's three heads moved in unison, its flame-like gaze fixed on the golden stream of light that was already flying far away, anger surging in its heart.
"Human… do you really think you can escape?"
As a furious roar fell, the Red King's figure flashed, suddenly stomping the ground. A piece of land collapsed with a boom, the ground cracking inch by inch, and its massive body had already transformed into a red light, soaring into the air, heading straight in the direction Qian Renxue had left!
"We can't let him catch up to the Young Lord!" Snake Lance Douluo's eyes narrowed. Enduring his severe injuries, he pushed off the ground, rocketing into the air like a cannonball.
"Seventh Spirit Ability, Spirit Avatar!"
With a loud shout, Snake Lance Douluo's seventh spirit ring glowed with a black light. In an instant, his body disintegrated, and a giant snake exuding a chilling poisonous Qi suddenly appeared.
This giant snake was twenty meters long, with two ferocious snake heads, one green and one purple, twisting and intertwining. Its snake eyes gleamed with savagery and killing intent, and it instantly pounced towards the Red King.
Snake Lance Douluo's Spirit Avatar was a rare mutation in the Spirit world, capable of skillfully transforming the avatar of a Tool Spirit into the form of a Beast Spirit Avatar. This special transformation allowed it to possess the powerful beastification amplification inherent in a Beast Spirit Avatar, while also retaining the tough characteristics, dominance, and ferocity of a Tool Spirit Avatar.
"Bang!"
Almost simultaneously, Porcupinefish Douluo also leaped up, roaring:
"Seventh Spirit Ability, Spirit Avatar!"
Purple light expanded, his body rapidly swelling to several zhang in height, covered in sharp spines, each spine glistening with a cold light.
Moments later, a massive purple Porcupinefish hovered in mid-air, blocking the Red King's path.
"Get out of the way!" The Red King coldly shouted, its three heads roaring almost simultaneously, and a circle of dark-red sound waves exploded!
Hearing this, Snake Lance Douluo and Porcupinefish Douluo gritted their teeth and held on. With the boost from their Spirit Avatars, they unleashed their spirit power with all their might, firmly blocking the Red King's path.
At the same time, in the mixed zone of the Star Dou Great Forest.
Not far away, a giant emerald green snake was rapidly slithering through the dense forest. Its body was winding, its scales shimmering with a faint luster, and each glide was silent.
This was not a real Spirit Beast, but Tang Chuan's first Spirit Ability, Simulation.
At this moment, he was simulating a snake-type Spirit Beast with approximately ten thousand years of cultivation. Its aura was almost identical to his true form, making it impossible for ordinary Spirit Beasts to detect his true identity.
Just then, a terrifying spirit power fluctuation surged from ahead, engulfing everything!
Tang Chuan immediately stopped, his snake body suddenly rearing up, his cold, gleaming snake eyes fixed on the distance. He could clearly sense the astonishing pressure contained within the lingering spirit power ripples.
"Such strong spirit power fluctuations!" Tang Chuan murmured in a low voice, his voice still carrying a faint, hissing snake sound. "One strong, two weak? Are there Titled Douluo hunting Spirit Beasts here?"
"Should I go take a look?"
After a moment of hesitation, a faint blue-gold light immediately appeared on Tang Chuan's body. The next second, his body twisted and changed like water, instantly transforming into a light-green vine, clinging to the ground, quickly spreading towards the direction where the spirit power fluctuations erupted.
The vine was light and silent, weaving through the forest, avoiding giant trees, crossing streams and swamps, moving extremely fast yet inconspicuously.
"With my Simulation state and aura concealment, even a Titled Douluo might not discover me immediately. As long as I maintain my distance, I won't be exposed." Tang Chuan calmly weighed his options in his mind.
The vine moved along the ground, and a few minutes later, it silently infiltrated the outskirts of the battlefield.
As Tang Chuan approached within a few hundred meters, he felt the violent tremors in the airflow ahead, and the spirit power fluctuations surged like waves, making the air hot and heavy.
Suddenly, under a towering ancient tree not far away, a huge Spirit Beast slowly swayed and stood up.
"Hm?"
Tang Chuan's nerves tensed, and he immediately stopped moving.
Looking closely, he saw a giant bear Spirit Beast covered in dark-gold fur.
It was over ten meters tall, with thick, powerful forelimbs, and the fur on its back stood upright like armor, exuding a terrifying sense of oppression.
"Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear?" Tang Chuan's eyes narrowed, and he couldn't help but exclaim in a low voice.
He was no stranger to this type of Spirit Beast.
The Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear was an extremely rare top-tier power-type Spirit Beast on the continent, known for its extreme strength and terrifying attacks. Even at the thousand-year level, it could contend with ten-thousand-year Spirit Beasts.
But the one before him appeared extremely weak, unable to stand steadily, clearly having just awakened from a coma, its body covered in wounds.
"It wasn't just stunned by the spirit power fluctuations, was it?"
Boom!!!
No sooner had Tang Chuan's words fallen than an earth-shattering explosion suddenly erupted in mid-air!
The entire battlefield seemed to be shaken. The fierce shockwave, like a torrential storm sweeping through the mountains and forests, exploded with terrifying high temperatures and air currents!
The Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear had no time to react, its body was directly thrown more than ten meters by the shockwave, crashing heavily against a giant rock behind it, spitting out a mouthful of black blood.
Immediately after, countless sharp poisonous thorns, like cold light, suddenly rained down from mid-air!
"Hiss—!"
The poisonous thorns sliced through the air, mixed with a strong corrosive aura, covering everything like a downpour. The Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear quickly raised its right arm to block, and immediately a sizzling, rotting sound was heard!
The next second, the skin on its bear arm instantly festered, and pieces of flesh fell off.
"This poison… so strong!" Tang Chuan, a hundred meters away, could smell the nauseating bloody stench, and couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.
Immediately after, he looked up, his gaze directed towards mid-air, and instantly saw the figures engaged in battle! Two human powerhouses, and a three-headed Spirit Beast.
Tang Chuan didn't notice that not far away, the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear, severely injured by the shockwave and poisonous thorns, had already stopped breathing.
But its right arm, almost charred black from the corrosion, now showed an unusual color—a dark-gold bone!
