Douluo: Martial Soul White Tiger, I am the White Emperor of Heaven

Chapter 525 Golden Horned Giant Ape, Farewell to 'Lanling King' Huo Wu
Star Forest, central part.

The high priest, gazing at the denser forest ahead, stopped, turned around, and addressed the crowd with a slightly solemn expression:

"Be careful, everyone. If we go any further, we will officially enter the central region of the Star Dou Great Forest."

"The strength of the soul beasts here is far superior to that of the outer areas. The strongest ones may even be beings with tens of thousands of years of cultivation."

“Apart from Chengfeng, it would be extremely dangerous for anyone else to face this alone.”

Upon hearing this, Zhu Zhuqing, Hu Liena, and Ning Rongrong all suppressed the subtle emotions lingering from last night's events and nodded earnestly.

They all knew that a ten-thousand-year-old soul beast represented a qualitative change.

Its strength and wisdom far surpass those of a thousand-year-old soul beast; a slight misstep could lead to perilous situations.

Dai Chengfeng also perked up and focused his attention on his surroundings.

Although the high priest is a powerful figure by my side, and I am safe, I must remain vigilant.

The group continued their journey, venturing deeper into the central region.

The trees here are taller and denser, blocking out the sun, making the light dim, and the air is filled with a more ancient and dangerous atmosphere.

Strange insect chirps and animal roars echoed from the depths of the forest from time to time, making people wary.

After walking for about half an hour, suddenly, a fierce fighting sound and the roar of colliding soul power came from the right front, mixed with human shouts and the roar of soul beasts.

The high priest frowned slightly; she didn't want to cause any more trouble.

After all, it's common to encounter other Soul Master teams hunting Soul Beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest, and rashly intervening might cause unnecessary misunderstandings or trouble.

Her instinct was to lead everyone away from this area.

“Let’s go in a different direction and avoid them,” the high priest said.

"Wait, High Priest."

Dai Chengfeng suddenly spoke up, his gaze turning towards the direction from which the fighting sounds came, a hint of doubt flashing in his eyes.

"Let's go take a look."

The high priest looked at Dai Chengfeng with some curiosity. Based on her understanding of him, he was not the kind of person who liked to join in the fun or meddle in other people's business.

"Go and see?"

"Fighting happens every day in the forest. We have our own goals, so there's no need for that, is there?"

Dai Chengfeng shook his head without offering a specific explanation.

He didn't want to get involved anyway, since he had encountered this kind of thing many times since entering the Star Dou Great Forest.

But just now, he sensed that one of the auras was somewhat familiar.

But Dai Chengfeng had forgotten exactly who it was. He guessed he had only met them a few times, but they weren't very familiar with each other.

But since we've had this connection before, we might as well give it a try.

If you fail to help an old friend in danger, it will be too late to regret it later.

Seeing that Dai Chengfeng insisted, the high priest no longer objected and nodded: "Alright, since you want to go and see, then go and see."

"But remember, don't get involved lightly; assess the situation first."

"Understood," Dai Chengfeng replied.

The group concealed their presence and, using the trees as cover, silently approached the location of the fight.

Soon, they arrived at the edge of a forest clearing, hid behind several giant trees, and looked towards the center of the clearing.

The battle was quite fierce on the open ground.

A man who looked to be in his sixties, with a resolute face and seven spirit rings flashing around him, was leading four teenagers who looked to be seventeen or eighteen years old, desperately trying to hold off a huge spirit beast.

The soul beast resembled a giant ape, but its entire body was covered with dark gold scales, and it had a ferocious single horn on its forehead.

His eyes were bloodshot, radiating a violent aura.

Each of its pounces was powerful and heavy, its sharp claws creating a sharp whistling sound as they swung through the air. "A Golden Horned Giant Ape? Judging by its aura and size, it probably has fifty thousand years of cultivation!"

A hint of surprise and uncertainty flashed in the high priest's eyes. "Soul beasts of this level of cultivation usually only roam the edge of the core area. How could they appear in the central region?"

"Could something have happened in the core area that drove it out?"

Dai Chengfeng's gaze fell on the four young soul masters.

When he saw two of them, he suddenly realized what was going on.

One of the young men, dressed in a dark blue outfit, wore a mask-like covering that only revealed the lower half of his face. His movements were as swift as the wind…

In summary, he bears a striking resemblance to Lanling Wang.

The other girl had short, fiery red hair, a tall and voluptuous figure, and a beautiful face.

But his brows held a hint of fierceness and pride, and he was currently unleashing powerful fire-attribute soul skills.

"Who was it? It was them."

At this moment, Ning Rongrong, Zhu Zhuqing, and Hu Liena also recognized the two people in the room.

Ning Rongrong tugged at Dai Chengfeng's sleeve and whispered, "Dai Chengfeng, look, isn't that the female tyrant who stole our rings the other day? And her henchman Feng Xiaotian too..."

Dai Chengfeng nodded, showing little interest: "If I had known it was them, I wouldn't have come. It's a complete waste of time."

While Dai Chengfeng and his group were talking, the situation on the field suddenly deteriorated!

The 50,000-year-old golden-horned giant ape seemed to be completely enraged at this moment.

It roared to the sky, its massive body radiating dark golden light. Its huge golden horn suddenly expanded, carrying a terrifying aura that could tear everything apart, and slammed into the middle-aged man at the Soul Saint level!
The middle-aged man's expression changed drastically.

The opponent came extremely fast, and he had no time to dodge.

Therefore, his seventh spirit ring lit up instantly, attempting to use his Martial Soul True Body to withstand the attack!
boom--!
With a loud bang, the golden horn of the golden-horned giant ape clashed violently with the middle-aged man's defenses.

A terrifying energy shockwave spread outwards, causing the surrounding trees to rustle.

However, the full power of a 50,000-year-old soul beast's attack was beyond imagination.

The middle-aged man's martial spirit true form was forcibly shattered. He was struck as if by a heavy blow, spitting out a mouthful of blood, and his body flew backward like a kite with a broken string.

It crashed heavily into a large tree, then slid down softly, clearly seriously injured and incapacitated.

"teacher!"

"associate dean!"

Upon seeing this, Feng Xiaotian, Huo Wu, and the other two young Soul Masters were utterly horrified and cried out in shock.

Having lost their only Soul Saint-level expert, the four of them had absolutely no chance of winning against this ferocious 50,000-year-old Soul Beast, and even escaping became a pipe dream!
After the golden-horned giant ape knocked the middle-aged man away, its crimson eyes immediately locked onto the remaining four people, especially Huo Wu and Feng Xiaotian, whose soul power fluctuations were the strongest.

It let out a low growl, took heavy steps, and pounced again, the shadow of death instantly enveloping Feng Xiaotian and his companions.

Huo Wu's face turned deathly pale, and fear finally showed in her eyes.

Feng Xiaotian gritted his teeth, ready to find an opportunity to escape with Huo Wu at any time.

And at this critical moment.

Seeing the perilous situation on the field, Ning Rongrong couldn't help but gently tug at Dai Chengfeng's arm, her voice carrying a hint of pleading:
"Dai Chengfeng, please...please save them!"

Dai Chengfeng really didn't want to get involved in this mess, since the life and death of Feng Xiaotian and Huo Wu were none of his business.

It's already good enough that he didn't kick someone when they were down.

But Ning Rongrong's sudden words startled him.

He then looked at the jade ring on his middle finger and was speechless.

"This ring is the one you stole from Huo Wu, isn't it?"

Ning Rongrong stuck out her tongue shyly, "Oh, it's all because of you~"
