Peerless Tang Sect: Becoming a God Through Medicine

Chapter 148 What?! The mythical beast has been captured by Shrek Academy?!
Boom——

Intense fluctuations of soul power shot out in all directions, and the surrounding trees collapsed in this terrifying collision, sending dust flying everywhere.

Cai Meier, who was already in the air with nowhere to gain leverage, was thrown hundreds of meters away by the shockwave.

"Lin'er—"

After escaping the blast radius, Cai Meier hurriedly released her soul power to stop herself and looked towards the place where the collision had occurred.

Although she thought that being hit by the Crimson King's full-force attack while in a frozen state was basically equivalent to certain death, she still held a sliver of hope in her heart: what if she didn't die?
But the swirling dust obstructed her vision, preventing her from seeing Xianlin'er's condition.

Before the dust had settled, Xian Lin'er flew out on her own, surprisingly without any major injuries. She was only clutching her abdomen with blood trickling from the corner of her mouth, and she did appear to be slightly injured, but this did not match her appearance after enduring the full force of the Crimson King's attack.

The injuries are much less severe now.

Cai Meier quickly flew over to support her. Just as she was about to ask what had happened, the flying dust was dispersed by a familiar scent.

Inside, there was the still enormous body of the Crimson King, and in front of it stood a white-haired old woman who had caught its claws.

"Luckily, I'm not too late!" The white-haired old woman shook off the Crimson King, turned around and smiled at the two of them.

"Old Lin!" Cai Meier exclaimed in surprise.

Lin Huiqun, the master of Jubaoge Pavilion and a level 96 Super Douluo.

"You two girls are really bold, daring to fight the Red King yourselves." Lin Huiqun said with a smile, her tone carrying a hint of reproach. "Luckily, I arrived in time, otherwise Sister Song would have been heartbroken."

"I'm sorry, Mr. Lin, I've worried you." Xian Lin'er wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth and bowed slightly to Lin Huiqun.

"It's alright." Lin Huiqun waved her hand dismissively, then turned to face the Crimson King.

"The third one..." Seeing Lin Huiqun suddenly appear, the Crimson King scratched the ground with its claws, and the arc of its mouth widened, revealing a mouthful of sharp steel teeth.

It was just a hair's breadth away from killing a Title Douluo from Shrek Academy. If it could devour Xian Lin'er, a Title Douluo, its cultivation level would increase by at least 18,000 years.

Unfortunately, a surprise attack came along unexpectedly.

Facing the Crimson King, Lin Huiqun was much more assertive than Cai Meier and Xian Liner: "Crimson King, you've already dealt with these two juniors of mine. I believe they've already told you what Shrek Academy's purpose is in coming to the Star Dou Great Forest this time, so I won't go into details."

"Now that I've arrived, what are you going to do? Will you continue to fight to the death with Shrek Academy, or will you step aside and do Shrek a favor?"

The Red King hesitated, because it seemed it really couldn't handle it.

Even if it were two level 94 titled Douluo, it could still take some time to kill them, but now there is Lin Huiqun, although according to strength, she is level 96 and is a notch lower than itself.

The problem is that Cai Meier and Xian Lin'er still have a certain fighting strength and can harass them from the sidelines, and it also depleted its strength in the battle just now.

If the fighting continues, it will be difficult for them to gain any advantage.

Just as it hesitated, another cyan light appeared in an instant, transforming into a human form beside Xian Lin'er. It was Song Yunzhi, the Azure Shadow Divine Eagle, a level 97 agility-attack type Super Douluo.

Now it's four against one.

Now, it's not just a matter of whether they can win; if the fight continues, even the Crimson King himself risks death. The situation has reversed; now the weaker party is the Crimson King.

Faced with four pairs of unfriendly gazes, the Crimson King gritted its teeth, cursing inwardly at the Demon King for arriving so slowly, but being isolated and helpless, it could only compromise for the time being.

"Fine, Shrek's men!" the Crimson King roared. "I hope you're truly searching for enemies in the Star Dou Great Forest, and not taking the opportunity to hunt down our 100,000-year-old soul beasts. Otherwise, we of Star Dou will not let this go!"

"Wouldn't it have been better to do this earlier?" Xian Lin'er, who was injured, snorted softly, her expression somewhat dissatisfied.

As expected, these soul beasts are all spineless; they only listen to people after being beaten into submission.

"Alright, Lin'er, say no more!" Song Yunzhi said softly, then cupped her hands to the Crimson King. "Then thank you very much, Crimson King. We will not disturb you any longer. As for what you said, please rest assured, we are not interested in the 100,000-year-old soul beasts of Xingdou."

not interested?

I'm not interested!
The Crimson King snorted, too lazy to play any word games with them, and raised his paw to leave.

Seeing that the Crimson King was about to leave, Cai Meier and the other three breathed a sigh of relief. Although the battle had been somewhat inexplicable, the outcome was good. After greeting the Crimson King, they no longer needed to search so cautiously and could unleash their full power without worrying about causing conflict with the Star Dou Great Forest.

Since the conflict had already occurred, they took advantage of the fact that the Red King was alone with his beast to use their power to force him to agree to their demands.

As long as they do nothing outside of the agreement and only search for and pursue Lin Nuo, they will not have a greater conflict with the Star Dou Great Forest.

In reality, the matter would have ended there.

But this is fiction, not reality!
The journey has been full of twists and turns, that's exactly what we're talking about right now!

Just as the two sides were about to separate, countless leaves gathered from all directions, and a large number of vines sprouted from the soil, eventually converging around the Red King to form a huge, eerie, and strange tree.

"and many more!"

A cold and eerie voice came from the giant tree's mouth. It slowly transformed into a tall, but withered, and pale-faced middle-aged man, whose long hair hung down to the ground like green vines.

Five hundred and forty thousand years, the Demon Eye Tree, the King of Ten Thousand Demons.

"The King of Ten Thousand Demons?!" Cai Meier and the other three were stunned for a moment, and then immediately became vigilant.

The Demon King is no match for the Crimson King. With over 500,000 years of cultivation, its power is comparable to that of a human Soul Master at the Limit Douluo level.

If the four of them could kill the Crimson King together, they would also die at the hands of the Demon King. Even though the Demon King's combat power as a plant-based soul beast is not high, its strange control ability is hard to defend against.

The Red King was speechless and felt like cursing.

When I needed you, you wouldn't come. Now that I've made my decision and am ready to break up, you've suddenly appeared.

What's wrong? What do you want to do?
The Demon King also noticed the dissatisfaction and doubt in the Crimson King's eyes, but it had no time to care about that, because it had something more important to say.

"The auspicious beast has disappeared!"

"I have searched for a long time but have not found the auspicious beast. There is no trace of it in the Lake of Life either. I suspect that it was captured by the Shrek Academy!"
