Chapter 208 Liu Erlong
"A 40,000-year-old soul beast? This is almost the outer area, how could a 40,000-year-old soul beast appear here?"
Upon hearing this, Ye Qifeng frowned, pondered for two seconds, then suddenly looked up. "Holy crap, could it be one of those ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts that ran away after sparring with me deep in the forest?"
He remembered that there were a few soul beasts that he had fought a few times and beaten up. When he went back to those soul beasts' territories to practice against them, they had already disappeared.
Could it really have run away to the outside world?
"No, I have to go check right away. I don't want anything to happen because of me."
As soon as the words were spoken...
Ye Qifeng immediately used the Meteor Illusion Movement Technique, leaving a trail of afterimages behind him, and sped off towards the direction from which the roaring sound came.
It has entered a one-kilometer radius.
The road was covered in charred remains from the flames, and scattered everywhere were the corpses of soul beasts, pieces of flesh, and organs.
The dead soul beasts came from all ages, and their deaths were all gruesome: some had their heads blown off, some were torn to pieces, and some were roasted to a crisp.
Bloodstains were everywhere—on the ground, in the grass, and in the trees. A warm breeze blew by, and every breath carried the strong smell of blood.
Judging from the remaining traces, it is clear that this female Soul Saint was a fire-attribute Soul Master. The residual heat indicates that she was a top-tier fire-attribute Soul Master, suggesting that her talent was quite good, but she must have had a fiery temper as well.
The three Soul Masters who escaped earlier were right; that female Soul Saint was indeed launching indiscriminate attacks and seemed to have lost her way in the carnage.
Without thinking twice, I continued on my way.
Less than a minute.
Night Seven Wind then arrived at the location of the battle.
Standing on the trunk of a giant tree, looking down.
Below, a woman with an extremely voluptuous figure, dressed in a black leather outfit suitable for combat, was surrounded by a crimson fire dragon and was irrationally clashing head-on with a 40,000-year-old scaled beast.
The woman was covered in blood, and her clothes were torn in many places, revealing the ripped and rolled-up wounds inside, from which blood was constantly seeping out.
Her long black hair was loose, and her pale face was covered with bloodstains, but her delicate and beautiful features and picturesque eyebrows could still be vaguely seen.
But those eyes, which should have been infinitely beautiful, were now bloodshot, as if devoid of any emotion.
All she saw was killing.
Gazing at the crimson fire dragon and the woman whose mind had been corrupted by slaughter.
Ye Qifeng was stunned for a moment:
"A crimson fire dragon? Could she be..."
"Liu Erlong?!"
He recognized the identity of the female Soul Saint.
at the same time.
In an instant, information about Liu Erlong flashed through Ye Qifeng's mind.
Liu Erlong is the illegitimate daughter of Yu Luomian, the vice sect leader of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan. She has lived with her mother since childhood and takes her mother's surname.
After she grew up, she learned that she was an illegitimate child. With hatred for Yu Luomian for abandoning his wife and daughter, she lived a life without a childhood in order to become stronger and to seek justice for her mother.
After awakening her martial spirit at the age of six, she spent almost all of her life in tireless cultivation.
Liu Erlong's martial soul is a top-tier martial soul, the Fire Dragon, which is a positive mutation of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex. It possesses top-tier fire attributes and its quality is slightly superior to that of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex.
With this talent, if he cultivates diligently, he will surely achieve great success in the future, and may even have the opportunity to reach the peak of the Soul Master realm, the Title Douluo realm.
Liu Erlong herself thought so too.
However, reality was cruel and dealt her a severe blow.
Her efforts did not bring her success or justice, but her mother passed away before she could seek redress.
The loss of her loved ones was too much for Liu Erlong to bear. Coupled with the influence of her Fire Dragon Martial Soul, her personality changed drastically, and killing became her greatest hobby.
Later, while traveling across the continent, they met Flander the cat owl and Yu Xiaogang, a useless master who had been expelled from Wuhun City. The three of them traveled across the continent together and earned the reputation of the "Golden Iron Triangle".
During her travels, Liu Erlong was captivated by the seemingly useless master. On their wedding night, however, her father, Yu Luomian, who appeared out of nowhere, told her that the two were actually cousins.
The cowardly and incompetent master fled overnight, without even giving her an explanation.
The immense blow and extreme pain from losing her beloved drove her already strong killing intent to the brink of madness.
With her closest relatives and loved ones gone, Liu Erlong became obsessed with killing, unable to stop herself from doing so.
Any Soul Master who falls into her hands, even if they are only minor evil, will never have a chance to survive.
Only when she watched the blood of her enemies bloom in her hands, and watched those hostile lives slip through her fingers, did she feel a little relief and pleasure.
"Rumor has it that Liu Erlong later massacred a forest of soul beasts. Could it be this very forest?"
Ye Qifeng pondered this in his heart.
Looking down at Liu Erlong, covered in blood and wounds, radiating murderous intent, his eyes filled with nothing but slaughter, his soul power nearly exhausted yet oblivious, he continued to relentlessly clash with the scaled behemoth.
"Sigh, yet another woman heartbroken by that useless master."
Ye Qifeng shook his head slightly, sighed inwardly, and couldn't help but recall his beautiful teacher, Bibi Dong.
When she first met her teacher Bibi Dong, she was also filled with an uncontrollable murderous aura. However, unlike Bibi Dong, despite being filled with despair and a desire for destruction, she was not consumed by the killing and instead became much stronger and more rational.
Perhaps it's a difference in personality.
Teacher Bibi Dong is a resilient and patient person who rarely reveals her thoughts or emotions.
Liu Erlong, on the other hand, is a fiery and straightforward person whose thoughts and feelings are almost always written on her face.
Therefore, when faced with despair, the two people's reactions were similar yet completely different.
However, when it comes to mindset and mentality...
As expected, Teacher Bibi Dong is still the better teacher!
Ye Qifeng thought to himself.
The gaze shifted from Liu Erlong, who was lost in the carnage, and landed on the 40,000-year-old scaled beast.
Ye Qifeng's expression immediately turned strange:
"So that's why I couldn't find you anywhere. Turns out you came here."
This massive, scaled beast was one of the targets he had practiced against not long ago deep in the forest.
The Scaled Giant Beast is a soul beast with a bear-like body.
It has limbs as strong as a bear, claws as sharp as knives, and its whole body is covered with hard brown scales like a pangolin. It also has a thick crocodile tail.
In summary, the scaled behemoth is not only incredibly strong with powerful attacks, but also extremely resilient in defense, and is especially adept at close-quarters combat.
It can be said to be one of the strongest soul beasts in terms of overall strength among the ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts.
It is both strong and resilient, which is why Ye Qifeng chose it as one of the test subjects for his own combat power.
Because he can unleash all his abilities without restraint, and he doesn't have to worry about accidentally killing it.
These spirit beasts are perfect as test subjects to examine one's own combat strength.
Normally, the scaled behemoth walks on all fours, but in battle, it stands upright on two legs, using its sharp claws and powerful tail to fight its enemies.
This 40,000-year-old scaled behemoth, when standing upright, is five or six meters tall and looks like a small mountain. Its strength is comparable to that of a mid-level human Soul Saint.
In normal times, with Liu Erlong's current combat power at the Soul Saint level of 75, she could be evenly matched with him. Relying on the top-level fire attribute of her Fire Dragon Martial Soul, she could suppress him and even win.
But now, because he was lost in the killing, he had indiscriminately hunted the soul beasts in this forest, which had consumed a lot of his soul power. He had suffered many injuries and lost a lot of blood.
When they encountered the scaled beast, Liu Erlong initially gained the upper hand by relying on her fearless attacks, and suppressed the scaled beast.
But as her soul power gradually depleted and her body grew weaker, she soon found herself at a disadvantage.
The scaled beast, suppressed by Liu Erlong, was extremely frustrated and angry.
It was living a good, easy, and comfortable life deep in the Sunset Forest, in its own territory.
Until a few days ago.
All of this was suddenly shattered.
A wretched human boy has trespassed into its territory.
It couldn't detect any soul power aura from that human boy, assuming he was just an extremely weak ordinary soul master, so it wanted to capture him and eat him as a snack.
Who knew that the human boy's target was also it? As soon as they met, all sorts of bizarre and varied skill attacks were thrown at it. Caught off guard, it was hit by countless attacks.
Fortunately, it was covered in incredibly strong scales; otherwise, it would have been severely injured, if not killed.
However, even though I wasn't injured, it still hurt a lot when the attack hit my scales.
So it angrily retaliated, but
In the end, it got a good beating.
That human kid, despite only having five spirit rings (yellow, yellow, purple, purple, and black) and being just a human spirit king, possessed excessively strong combat power. Even it, a spirit beast with a lifespan of 40,000 years, couldn't defeat him.
After enduring the torment of that human boy, she finally waited until he got tired and left, thinking she could finally take a break.
Unexpectedly, not long after...
That human kid has come again.
Then, it was subjected to another round of inhumane torture.
This cycle repeated for three days until the scaly behemoth finally couldn't take it anymore.
While the human boy was away, it quickly ran to the outer area.
Let's hide for a while first.
After traversing the central jungle, we were about to enter the vast outer area, where the forest was deep and wild animals roamed freely. We would never have to see that wretched human boy's face again.
Just at this time.
It suddenly smelled a strong stench of blood.
The hunting instinct of the spirit beast drove it closer to this forest.
To their surprise, they encountered a human Soul Saint—no, a madwoman—who was frantically slaughtering Soul Beasts.
So it suffered again and got caught up in it.
Having just escaped one pit, he jumped into another and got another beating.
That's not all; the fire attribute attached to that madwoman's martial soul is its nemesis.
Its powerful scales are impervious to physical damage from soul skills, but the intense heat of fire can penetrate the scales and reach its body, making it extremely uncomfortable during battle.
The scaled behemoth, which already possessed a certain level of intelligence, was quite frustrated and angry.
"Hmm? This human woman's attack power has weakened? And her fire attribute doesn't seem as intense anymore?"
At this moment, the scaled behemoth that had been suppressed suddenly noticed something amiss.
"Hehe, I see. This human woman's soul power is almost exhausted."
After exchanging a few more blows, the scaled behemoth finally determined its opponent's situation.
Seeing its opponent growing weaker and weaker, it seized the opportunity to launch a counterattack in anger.
As a result, Liu Erlong's wounds gradually increased, her blood loss accelerated, and a horrific wound was even torn open on her chest by claws.
If it weren't for the bloodlust in her heart that kept driving her to continue attacking, she would probably have already fallen by now.
Driven by his bloodlust, he gathered the last bit of soul power in his body and fought a final blow against the scaled beast.
Immediately, the two sides distanced themselves from each other.
At this moment, because her soul power had been completely exhausted, Liu Erlong could no longer maintain the summoning state of her martial soul. The crimson fire dragon turned into specks of light and dissipated in the air, her body swaying precariously.
"As expected, this is what normal humans are like—utterly vulnerable. That human kid from before must have been a psychopath."
On the opposite side, the scaled behemoth, realizing that victory was already in its grasp, roared and patted its chest, its scales charred black by the top-level fire attribute, revealing its undamaged, thick pectoral muscles. It was venting its anger and celebrating excitedly, while also making a sarcastic remark.
"That human woman across from me is a Soul Saint; she must taste delicious."
With its egg-sized, crystal-yellow eyes, the swaying human woman opposite it revealed a hint of human-like smile on the terrifying face of the scaly beast. It couldn't help but stick out its tongue and lick its protruding beast mouth, its mouth full of drool.
The next second, the scaled behemoth raised its sharp claws and charged forward, ready to deliver the final blow to the human woman opposite it before enjoying its delicious meal.
He watched as the sharp claws came swinging towards him.
Liu Erlong, her delicate body swaying, neither dodged nor avoided.
Her soul power was completely depleted, not a single drop remained. The intense pain from her injuries washed over her like a tidal wave, leaving her utterly powerless.
"Is this the end? Perhaps this is my final destination."
In the final moments of her life, Liu Erlong finally regained her senses, and her tragic life flowed through her mind like a tide.
Having lost her dearest loved ones, she was already heartbroken and devastated.
If it weren't for her belief in seeking justice for her mother, she would never have survived to this day.
"Fine, that's it. Let it be. Relief."
Liu Erlong's face was as pale as paper, and silent tears slid down her cheeks. She smiled bitterly and faced death with equanimity.
Just as the giant, scaled beast's sharp claws were about to strike Liu Erlong's delicate body.
Clang--
At that moment, a slender black blade, entirely jet black, flew in with lightning speed, striking the scaled beast's claws in mid-air, producing a piercing metallic clang.
The immense force from the claws caused the scaly behemoth to stagger back several steps, its two thick hind legs creating several deep craters in the fire-dried forest floor.
It finally crashed to the ground with a thud, knocking down several bushes to either side.
It was Ye Qifeng who made the move.
When he arrived, the battle was nearing its end. Standing on the trunk of the big tree, he saw Liu Erlong and the giant scaled beast. Although he had many thoughts in his mind, only a moment had passed.
Seeing that Liu Erlong's life was in danger, he naturally couldn't sit idly by.
Moreover, it seems that the giant, scaled beast came here because of him.
Thank you to [singularity] for the 1666 book coins!
