Douluo Continent: Disciple Tang San, righteous yet evil

Chapter 174 Thousand Paths Battle Emperor Heaven, Xiong Jun is About to Perish

The outskirts of the Star Dou Forest.

"Great Elder, you summoned us here just to help this guy hunt down a 100,000-year-old soul beast. Is it really necessary to make such a fuss?"

Guangling Douluo looked at Qian Daoliu flying ahead and asked with a puzzled expression.

Leaving aside how Lin Mu persuaded the Grand Elder to help him hunt for a spirit ring, even if Lin Mu wanted to hunt a 100,000-year-old spirit beast, the Grand Elder's strength alone wouldn't require their help.

Not only him, but the other worshippers were also puzzled.

To help an outsider hunt for a spirit ring, the High Priest actually went so far as to use the entire power of the Hall of Worship; it must be more than just a simple transaction.

"It wasn't a hunting of an ordinary 100,000-year-old soul beast, but a Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear with a cultivation level exceeding 400,000 years!"

"Four hundred thousand years?"

"Dark Gold Dreadclaw Bear?"

Upon hearing Qian Daoliu's words, the several elders were startled.

Although they are not afraid of ordinary 100,000-year-old soul beasts, this is a Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear that is over 400,000 years old, and probably only a Grand Elder can deal with it.

At this moment, Qian Daoliu suddenly slowed down and, without turning his head, gave a final instruction:
“Besides the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear, there may be other super ferocious beasts in this Star Dou Great Forest. Even if you are not weak, you must be careful.”

"Yes, a big offering."

At this point, the worshippers also realized the seriousness of the matter.

Even the high priests are so cautious; if they weren't careful, they might lose their lives.

Even though all seven of the Hall of Worshipers came out, Lin Mu still felt it wasn't safe enough, so he specially summoned Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo and gave them two pills.

With the aid of the elixir, the two successfully broke through to level ninety-six.

Previously, their dual static domain was enough to control the Crimson King; now it should be enough to control the Bear Lord.

Although Qian Daoliu was puzzled by the addition of Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo, he did not say much.

If nothing unexpected happens, Lin Mu has long been in cahoots with the two of them.

Even so, Qian Daoliu did not intend to get involved in this matter. The main reason he appointed Bibi Dong as Pope was that the Spirit Hall needed a Pope to rule, and she was also Xue'er's mother.

However, for the Pope to favor a useless eunuch is a disgrace to the Spirit Hall.

If Lin Mu were willing to join the Spirit Hall, he would definitely support Lin Mu to become the new Pope, but this guy just refuses to join the Spirit Hall no matter what.

Suddenly, a streak of azure light flew over at three times the speed of sound and arrived in front of everyone in the blink of an eye.

"They're here, get ready."

Before Lin Mu could finish speaking, two figures caught up with him; they were Di Tian and Xiong Jun.

Seeing that the other party was human, the group did not relax at all, but instead were on high alert, as the aura of the two people was clearly that of soul beasts.

A soul beast that can freely transform into any form is definitely not simple.

"Di Tian, ​​this is clearly a deliberate attempt to lure us into a trap."

Seeing that the other side had an overwhelming numerical advantage, Xiong Jun said in a deep voice.

Although most of the opponents were not very strong, there were still a few who were quite difficult to deal with, especially the blond man and "Duanmu Yan," one of whom was powerful and the other was incredibly fast.

"Lord Xiong, this concerns our soul beast lineage, and we must eliminate this hidden danger today."

The Emperor said in an unquestionable manner.

Upon hearing this, Xiong Jun felt something was off, but faced with Di Tian's terrifying strength, he had no choice but to abandon the idea of ​​retreating.

"You can have the one with black hair and gold eyes, and I'll take the other one."

Lin Mu transmitted the Dao to Qian Dao.

Since condensing a fire-attribute soul core, his strength has improved considerably. In addition, with his soul power breaking through to level ninety, he may well be able to put up a fight against Xiong Jun.

Upon hearing his arrangement, Qian Daoliu realized that he had been tricked again.

You can tell from its aura that this black-haired, golden-eyed creature is definitely a super ferocious beast, far stronger than the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear.

"Little bear, come with me if you dare." After saying that, Lin Mu transformed into a hurricane once again and flew towards the outermost direction.

Upon hearing the name "Little Bear," Xiong Jun felt a surge of anger rise within him. He roared at the sky and followed after it without another word.

After Xiong Jun left, Di Tian looked at Qian Daoliu with disdain and said, "Human, let me see your strength."

"You guys go help Lin Mu, I'll take care of things here."

Faced with such a formidable enemy, Qian Daoliu did not ask anyone else to stay and help him, clearly intending to fight alone.

The retainers exchanged glances and immediately flew off in the direction Lin Mu had left.

On the one hand, they were well aware of the Great Elder's strength; even if this ferocious beast was powerful, it couldn't possibly do anything to the Great Elder.

On the other hand, they knew the High Priest's nature; he always preferred a fair and square duel.

In the past, when he fought Tang Chen one-on-one, even if the opponent used a powerful move, the Grand Elder would not choose to dodge, but would take the initiative to fight back.

In the blink of an eye, Qian Daoliu and Di Tian had exchanged several blows.

However, neither side used their full strength and both were in a probing phase.

Meanwhile, Lin Mu had already lured Xiong Jun to a distance of over a hundred miles.

"Human, what kind of skill is it to keep running? If you have the guts, take one of my claws head-on. If you can take it, I promise I won't chase you anymore."

Seeing that he could not catch up with the other party, Xiong Jun made a condition.

Upon hearing this, Lin Mu immediately stopped flying, turned around to look at Xiong Jun who was hot on his heels, and said, "Last time you swung your claw at me, and it was even a sneak attack, but I still managed to catch it, didn't I?"

After being reminded, Xiong Jun finally remembered.

This person is extremely fast; he can even dodge the Sky-Tearing Claw. There's really nothing he can do about this guy.

Then, with a hint of frustration, he said, "No, that doesn't count at all. You have to block it head-on, otherwise it doesn't count as taking my Sky-Tearing Claw."

"How about this, you take one of my moves first, and then I'll take one of your claws."

Lin Mu suggested.

Upon hearing this, Xiong Jun hesitated. Was this guy trying to fool him again?

A moment later, he dismissed the thought. This guy wasn't even a Title Douluo; his last all-out attack had only caused minor injuries.

"You better not lie to me, or I'll tear you to shreds."

After saying that, Xiong Jun reverted to his original form, his massive body, as large as a small mountain, standing out prominently in the forest.

Seeing that the bear had agreed, Lin Mu's lips curled up slightly. He immediately switched his armor to Nawa, and the eighth spirit ring under his feet suddenly lit up.

"Eighth Soul Skill, Elf Armament!"

A massive, mountain-like fire unicorn descended from the sky, instantly transforming into two streams of energy, each condensing into a weapon in Lin Mu's hand.

Upon seeing this, Xiong Jun felt a sudden panic. This was not what he had expected.
Just as Lin Mu raised the giant Fiery Scale Blade, Xiong Jun decisively turned and fled. If he were to take this attack head-on, he would definitely suffer considerable injuries.

What if this human doesn't keep their word? Wouldn't he be injured for nothing?

As a ferocious beast that has lived for so many years, how could he be completely outmaneuvered by a human?

However, as he turned to run away, Lin Mu swung his sword down at it, launching two consecutive attacks, one horizontal and one vertical.

That wasn't all. Lin Mu raised his red gauntlet again, aimed at Xiong Jun, and fired a shot.

Xiong Jun was never good at speed, and he became even slower after reverting to his original form. He wanted to dodge, but it was too late.

"boom!!"

With a loud bang, Xiong Jun was blasted to the ground, his back a bloody mess.

Just then, the others caught up.

They were shocked to see Xiong Jun severely injured; Lin Mu was actually this strong.
