Chapter 60: Slacking Off, Fishing Out.
Zhao Wuji and Xuan Mo used their spirit abilities together to slow the ancient tree's impact.
Then, Zhao Wuji shouted to everyone, "What are you standing there for? Hurry up!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Dai Mubai grabbed Oscar and rushed back. The others dispersed in all directions.
As for Xuan Mo, his first spirit ring lit up, and he formed rock shields in his hands or in the air, shielding everyone's retreat.
He also grabbed Ning Rongrong and, ignoring her cries of surprise, held her in one arm and retreated.
Instantly, his first spirit ring lit up, and a rock shield appeared in front of Ning Rongrong, blocking her attack. Alternatively, his third spirit ring flashed with purple light, shattering rocks and flying trees, preventing anyone from getting close. Soon, Zhao Wuji, who had blocked the ancient tree, joined the group.
"Teacher Zhao, what happened just now?" Dai Mubai looked at Zhao Wuji with a look of fear, but his eyes kept glancing in the direction the ancient tree had come from.
Before Zhao Wuji could say anything, Xuan Mo announced, "Because a large creature is coming."
"What!"
Zhao Wuji pondered. "Everyone, get behind me. If anything happens later, leave me alone and leave this place immediately. We'll get out of the Xingdou Great Forest first. Mo, Mu Bai, Hong Jun, while I'm gone, the responsibility of protecting everyone will be left to you three."
Just then, in the direction Zhao Wuji was looking, two towering trees suddenly parted, and a massive black shadow silently emerged.
Xuan Mo could already feel the air oppressive, making him breathless.
Zhao Wuji's expression was grave, and as he watched the soul beast advance, he paid no attention to anything else.
Without even looking up, Zhao Wuji roared, "It's a soul beast over ten thousand years old, the king of the forest, the Titan Ape! Run!"
At that moment, Xuan Mo's eyes had already glanced at Xiao Wu. He knew that if it weren't for her... It wouldn't attract the Titan Ape. Xuan Mo had even felt impulsive, wanting to expose Xiao Wu's identity directly.
After all, Xuan Mo wasn't sure if the Titan Ape would kill them right now. But before long, Xuan Mo's anxiety was completely relieved.
At the same time, the Titan Ape took another stet forward, only a hundred meters away from the Shrek group.
Zhao Wuji, observing this, abandoned all else and roared. One, two, three, five, his four spirit rings simultaneously illuminated.
At this moment, Zhao Wuji leaped high into the air with a determined attitude, unleashing his mighty Vajra Palm with all his might, sparing no effort in striking the Titan Ape.
He hoped to buy time and give the students a chance to escape.
However, no one listened.
Furthermore, Xuan Mo, having completed his spirit possession, once again unleashed his own, still-unfinished spirit technique, hoping to have some effect on the Titan Ape.
Of course, Xuan Mo estimated that this hope was extremely slim. However, at this moment, he wanted to verify something: whether the Titan Ape would kill them.
If not...
Suddenly, Ning Rongrong, who had been protecting and amplifying the others, was startled by the sudden surge of power from Xuan Mo.
A fierce, perhaps even overbearing, aura emanated from him, sweeping towards the Titan Ape.
The result was as expected: the attack had no effect on the Titan Ape. It did, however, capture its attention, though it quickly lost interest.
However, if anyone could have known, a hint of fear, hidden even from the Titan Ape itself, lingered in its eyes.
At this moment, Zhao Wuji, receiving Ning Rongrong's amplification, instantly unleashed an attack force only possessed by a Soul Douluo-level powerhouse, striking directly at the Titan Ape's head.
The rest of the group's soul abilities also joined in the attack.
...
In this core area, a powerful, dormant dragon-like soul beast once again opened its tightly closed eyes.
"That's Uncle Taotie's aura again. This..."
At this moment, a disembodied voice reached the dragon-like soul beast's ears. "Di Tian, you'll need to go out for a bit, and then do this... Do you understand?"
"Master, this..."
"You go meet this human soul master. After all, I am now..."
At this moment, facing the attacks, a hint of disdain appeared at the corner of the Titan Ape's mouth.
As those attacks landed on the Titan Ape, a startling yet predictable scene unfolded.
Zhao Wuji's powerful palm strike on the Titan Ape's head only caused it to tilt its head back slightly. The attacks from the other Shrek students didn't even move the Titan Ape's arms; perhaps only Ma Hongjun's phoenix flames singed a few strands of its hair.
Then, the Titan Ape slammed its fists to the ground.
A wave of black air, mixed with rubble, swept across the entire arena. This playful blast instantly sent everyone in Shrek Academy flying.
However, facing this onslaught, Xuan Mo couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and secretly, a look of relief.
This was because he had already achieved the result he wanted.
The Titan Ape's attention was clearly focused on Xiao Wu, and it hadn't changed.
Moreover, its attack on the Shrek Academy members was merely playful, not fatal. So, as long as they were careful, there would be no danger to their lives.
As for stopping Xiao Wu from being taken away, Xuan Mo wouldn't do it. First, he couldn't do it without risking his own life. Second, Xiao Wu was only going home and safe, so there was no need to risk his own life to save her.
As for Tang San's subsequent actions, Xuan Mo didn't believe he would die. Besides, normally, as a friend, he would help Tang San. But when it came to his own interests, he would never intervene.
So, Xuan Mo glanced at the fighting crowd and quietly moved closer to Ning Rongrong. While doing his best to protect everyone, he didn't take the initiative.
Yet, to everyone, Xuan Mo appeared to be fighting fiercely, even ready to sacrifice his life.
In reality, Xuan Mo was simply wandering around the battlefield. When he wasn't blocking attacks like rubble, he was embodying the essence of slacking off and slacking off.
He protected Ning Rongrong and Oscar, then made a show of attacking. Because he knew that in this unequal battle, as long as he didn't get hurt accidentally, it would be fine.
At the same time, the Titan Ape pounced on the overturned people.
The dark mass of its body, like a small mountain, rushed over, and everyone felt breathless.
Afterwards, when everyone dodged, a huge rock was picked up by the Titan Ape and thrown towards everyone.
And it was so lucky that it fell towards Xuan Mo, Ning Rongrong, and Oscar.
Seeing this, Xuan Mo couldn't help but groan inwardly.
However, when he saw Ning Rongrong and Oscar standing behind him, the first and third soul rings lit up again.
