Not long after, the main forces of Spirit Hall also arrived. Being this close, they could already sense the two terrifying auras inside the Lake of Life. However, at this point, they had no choice but to proceed—the arrow was already nocked and had to be released. They couldn't possibly let go of such a golden opportunity to capture a hundred-thousand-year soul beast in human form.
If they failed this time and let the hundred-thousand-year soul beast escape, it would be extremely difficult to find her again.
"Welcome to the Star Dou Great Forest!" Suddenly, a gentle voice rang out from the front, causing Ghost Douluo, who was leading, to halt abruptly.
Chrysanthemum Douluo flashed to Ghost Douluo's side. Since Gui Mei had just been injured, he couldn't let him face powerful enemies alone. The two exchanged glances. Chrysanthemum Douluo signaled to the experts of Spirit Hall behind them, and twenty Soul Sages simultaneously released their martial souls. In an instant, the air within a hundred-meter radius around them twisted violently, as dazzling soul rings appeared on their bodies.
The three members of the Golden Generation also released their martial souls at the same time. Everyone watched the front with utmost vigilance.
"Haven't you been searching for me for a long time? Now that you've found me, why don't you dare come closer?" The gentle voice resounded again. The tranquility within it gave all the Spirit Hall experts an odd feeling.
Chrysanthemum Douluo nodded at Ghost Douluo, and the two of them took the lead to step forward. Having finally found their target, even if there was a trap ahead, they had no choice but to step into it.
"Hmph, you won't escape today, even if you grow wings! Everyone, attack!" Gui Mei ordered coldly.
The twenty Soul Sages surrounded the direction the voice came from, attacking from all sides. As Title Douluos, Gui Mei and Yue Guan charged at the front.
"Roar!" At this moment, a thunderous roar sounded. The first one to rush over, Gui Mei, did not see Xiao Wu, but instead faced a massive black gorilla and a huge fist.
"Seventh Soul Skill, Martial Soul Avatar—ah!"
Gui Mei instinctively tried to activate his Martial Soul Avatar. If he entered that state, normal physical attacks would become ineffective against him. Unfortunately, the power and speed of this punch were both terrifying. Before Gui Mei's seventh spirit ring could even light up, he was sent flying by a single punch.
Everyone then saw the black gorilla's figure. Yue Guan exclaimed in shock, "The King of the Forest, Titan Giant Ape!"
Yue Guan tried to go save his old partner, but at that moment, a strong sense of danger suddenly arose from beneath his feet. Chrysanthemum Douluo's reaction was extremely quick. The Chrysanthemum, which was charging forward, whipped down at the water's surface with all its might, and he used the recoil to leap into the air.
Countless splashes of water turned into brilliant light, instantly engulfing the Chrysanthemum. The air became moist, and a massive four-meter-wide ox head suddenly emerged from the water. The chrysanthemum's attack bounced back after striking it, despite being in Martial Soul Avatar state.
Green, scaly, and enormous, the ox-headed, snake-bodied monster soared into the sky. With its mouth wide open, it spat a green ray. Chrysanthemum Douluo, still in midair, suffered the same fate as Ghost Douluo and was sent flying, crashing to the ground and coughing up blood.
"The Emperor of the Forest, Sky Blue Bull Python!"
Both Yue Guan and Gui Mei's faces changed drastically—they hadn't expected the Soft Bone Rabbit to have such powerful backers.
Even if the two Title Douluos attacked together, it would still be very difficult to defeat either of these beasts.
"So this is the power of the Titan Giant Ape and Sky Blue Bull Python? It's truly amazing!" Tang San watched the scene, deeply moved.
The power of these two divine beasts far surpassed Xiao Wu's, and with one focused on control and the other on strength, weren't they the perfect soul rings for his Blue Silver Grass and Clear Sky Hammer?
If he could obtain these two rings, he might have hope of catching up to Jun Tianlin.
"What am I thinking? They're Xiao Wu's brothers, and they're still protecting me!" Tang San shook off the bad thoughts in his mind, repeatedly warning himself.
But the more he tried not to think about it, the more he couldn't help it. These two divine beasts were priceless treasures for any soul master.
"Old Ghost, we definitely can't beat these two divine beasts head-on. Use the Martial Soul Fusion Skill!" Yue Guan called.
The true reason the two brothers stuck together was because they possessed a Martial Soul Fusion skill—the strongest control-type soul skill, the Dark Eclipse.
The two Title Douluos stood back to back, and eighteen soul rings combined in midair, forming a huge halo.
Heaven and earth seemed to turn gold and silver at that moment. Everything around them seemed to freeze. Even the Titan Giant Ape, who was leaping in the air, stopped midair, and the green light just spat by the Sky Blue Bull Python also froze.
Seeing this, Tang San and Xiao Wu's happy expressions instantly changed. They hadn't expected Ghost Douluo and Chrysanthemum Douluo to have such a trump card, instantly reversing the situation.
Even if this Martial Soul Fusion skill couldn't kill the two divine beasts, it could definitely restrict them for some time.
That was enough—with the Golden Generation and twenty Soul Sages, if they worked together, how could they not deal with just two Soul Kings?
"Hurry up, we can only control these two beasts for a while. Capture the rabbit, kill Tang San, and leave immediately!" Ghost Douluo's anxious voice rang out.
To use this fusion skill, Chrysanthemum and Ghost Douluo had invested all their soul power. Once their strength ran out, the domain would naturally end. By then, no one here would be a match for the Titan Giant Ape and Sky Blue Bull Python.
"Cluster Soul Chasing Ball!" Seeing the many Soul Sages closing in, Tang San unhesitatingly threw out Tang Sect's hidden weapons.
Thanks to Xue Beng's support and Tai Tan's help, he had managed to make quite a few hidden weapons lately.
These Soul Sages underestimated the two Soul Kings, some even without releasing their martial souls. If struck by the hidden weapons, many would likely lose their fighting ability.
"Hmph, just these little things? What can they do? Sixth Soul Skill, Spin!"
Xie Yue sneered as his two moon blades merged into one, spinning in the air like an electric fan.
This technique had two uses: spinning clockwise generated a terrifying hurricane to blow everything away, while counterclockwise would suck everything nearby in.
Right now it spun counterclockwise, instantly attracting all the flying needles of the Cluster Soul Chasing Ball onto the moon blade, where they were shredded.
Tang San was shocked—his Tang Sect's hidden weapons had been completely countered.
Xie Yue leaped forward, kneeing Tang San in the stomach with tremendous force, almost making him vomit.
Xie Yue said coldly, "Tang San, you're just too weak. Only Jun Tianlin in this world is my true opponent. I have no interest in you at all."
