The Peerless Tang Sect: Possessing Huo Yuhao at the Start

Chapter 78 Wolf Ape

The two resumed their journey, and the marks left by Zhang Lexuan and the others were never broken along the way, which enabled Huo Zhanji and his group to find them quickly.

It was now noon. Huo Zhanji pulled Wang Qiu'er into the depths of the Star Dou Great Forest mixed zone. Whenever they encountered a powerful soul beast, he tried his best to avoid it. Wang Qiu'er followed behind him, her surprise growing.

"Let's rest for a bit and have something to eat," Huo Zhanji said after estimating the time.

Wang Qiu'er found a place on higher ground and sat down. Huo Zhanji took out dry food and water from his storage soul tool and handed them to her.

"Why did you research this method of obtaining spirit rings?" Wang Qiu'er asked.

"Soul Masters and Soul Beasts both live in this world and are an indispensable part of Douluo Continent. Now, as time goes by, there are more and more Soul Masters, but fewer and fewer Soul Beasts. Perhaps it won't be long before Soul Beasts become extinct. But I don't think the future will be like that. I think they can all live better lives. With Soul Spirit technology and the secret method I recently researched for the rebirth of Soul Masters' soul spirits after death, I believe it will definitely change the current situation," Huo Zhanji said after thinking for a moment.

"Your idea is really far-fetched. Not to mention that soul beasts and soul masters are inherently incompatible, do you really think the two can coexist?" Wang Qiu'er said sarcastically to Huo Zhanji.

"I know what you're saying, but I want to give it a try," Huo Zhanji said with a slight smile.

Wang Qiu'er pursed her lips, looked at her golden dragon spear, and murmured, "If it's yours, it can definitely be done."

As darkness fell, the Star Dou Great Forest became even more dangerous at night. A large number of soul beasts would appear at night, and for humans, the night almost inevitably brought fatigue.

"We're probably in trouble," Huo Zhanji's voice suddenly rang out.

Wang Qiu'er's previously somewhat bewildered gaze instantly sharpened, and she suddenly sprang up, holding the Golden Dragon Spear. Three jet-black wolf-shaped soul beasts were approaching them at an astonishing speed.

The three wolf-apes did not rush to attack them, but instead moved slowly around them, with Huo Zhanji and Wang Qiu'er standing side by side.

Suddenly, the giant wolf in front of them moved. Its body flickered slightly, and then a dense aura of darkness burst forth from it. Clusters of purplish-black bubbles rapidly spread from the ground, covering the two people's position.

Just as the purplish-black bubbles were about to reach her, Wang Qiu'er stomped her right foot on the ground. Instantly, a terrifying golden wave of energy burst outwards, and the purplish-black bubbles burst under the shock, yet continued to advance relentlessly.

Wang Qiu'er raised her golden dragon spear high, and as a loud dragon roar rang out, her six spirit rings—two yellow, two purple, and two black—rose from her feet. Without even greeting Huo Zhanji, Wang Qiu'er darted forward, her target the wolf ape in front of her.

At the same moment she launched her attack, the other two wolf-apes also moved. Instead of coming to their companion's aid, they pounced on Huo Zhanji simultaneously.

"Are you a dragon, not a tiger? Why are you so reckless?" Huo Zhanji said speechlessly, looking at Wang Qiu'er who was attacking alone.

Seeing the other two wolf-apes approaching, a red light flashed in Huo Zhanji's eyes, and the Dark Gold Terror Claw external soul bone appeared on his right hand: "Dark Gold Terror Claw!"

Almost simultaneously, five sharp claws struck the throats of the two wolf-apes, abruptly slowing their forward momentum. The two wolf-apes came to an abrupt halt in mid-air, both feeling the same way: this attack would surely kill them. At that moment, the two wolf-apes vanished, and in a flash, landed behind him, joining the previous wolf-apes in attacking Wang Qiu'er. Instantly, numerous wounds appeared on Wang Qiu'er's body, from which blood flowed continuously.

The three wolf-apes, as one entity, each emitted a purplish-black halo beneath their feet. The moment the three halos overlapped, Huo Zhanji, who had charged forward, was right in the center of one of the halos. At this moment, the three wolf-apes had turned into an almost transparent purplish-black color, fixing Huo Zhanji within them.

"The Trinity Fusion Technique, let's see if you guys are better at it or if I'm stronger!" Huo Zhanji's eyes sharpened.

When Wang Qiu'er discovered that Huo Zhanji was in danger, she threw her Golden Dragon Spear almost without hesitation. It landed on a wolf-ape, but the Golden Dragon Spear bounced back as if it had hit an indestructible barrier, and did not cause any damage to the wolf-ape at all. Purple mist rose up from the ground instantly.

Ignoring her own injuries, Wang Qiu'er cried out, "No!"

Just then, a dazzling silver light emanated from Huo Zhanji's body, and Huo Zhanji, dressed in a silver-white robe, appeared from within the light, proclaiming, "Eternal and Immortal, Infinite Forms!"

At that moment, the Three-Headed Wolf Ape, fully in its invincible state, finally completed its Trinity Martial Soul Fusion Skill. A terrifying purplish-black light transformed into a terrifying pillar of light formed by the convergence of the three elements, soaring into the sky and completely engulfing Huo Zhanji, who was inside it.

"That's it? I thought it would be much stronger. What a waste of my interest! Eternal Divine Spear!" Huo Zhanji looked at the three wolf-apes with sarcasm, as if they were three corpses, and the Eternal Divine Spear appeared in his right hand.

"Although I don't really like Tang San, he did say something quite right: I only kill evil soul beasts. I am for eternity and immortality."

A strange light flashed across the spear in Huo Zhanji's hand, and the Eternal Divine Spear suddenly appeared in the sky above the center of the magic array.

"Eternal Creation!"

As Huo Zhanji finished speaking, the Eternal Divine Spear in the center of the magic array suddenly fell and hit the array directly. The attack unleashed by the Eternal Divine Spear instantly shattered the bodies of the three wolf apes into pieces, leaving three right leg bones radiating spatial fluctuations.

After retrieving the three bones from her left leg, Huo Zhanji immediately went to Wang Qiu'er's side. At this time, her clothes were torn in several places, her face was pale, and there was blood in her mouth and nose. Her delicate body went limp and she fell directly into Huo Zhanji's arms.

"Idiot, how could anything happen to me? I won't lose my life here until I achieve my ultimate goal, and neither can you," Huo Zhanji muttered to himself.

Huo Zhanji put his clothes on Wang Qiu'er, then took out a small knife and cut his wrist. Silvery-white blood slowly flowed out. He brought his cut wrist to her wrist and dripped the blood into her mouth. Wang Qiu'er's wound healed quickly.

Half an hour later

Having lost most of his blood, Huo Zhanji felt weak. "Ugh... I can't sleep."

When Huo Zhanji felt that Wang Qiu'er's life force had finally stopped flowing, a strong sense of fatigue and weakness instantly spread throughout his body. Although the Life Gold was constantly producing blood, he could not make up for the weakness in his body. He could only rely on himself to recover slowly. Holding Wang Qiu'er, he leaned against a tree. At this moment, there was still some silvery-white blood left at the corner of Wang Qiu'er's mouth. Huo Zhanji forced himself not to fall asleep. If he really fell asleep, it would really be the end.
