Douluo Continent: Starting from Killing Arou with a Single Sword.

Within the Star Dou Great Forest, a vibrant scene unfolds. Blue Silver Grass sways in the wind, and the tranquil lake's surface is like a smooth mirror, mysterious and enchanting. This is the core area of ​​the Star Dou Great Forest, a forbidden land for countless Soul Masters—the Lake of Life!

At this moment, in such a terrifying place, a beautiful and young girl appeared. The girl looked so innocent, like a lotus flower standing tall in summer, pure and beautiful.

However, such a forbidden zone for life does not allow humans to exist. If other soul masters were to witness this scene, they would probably only sigh with regret, lamenting the girl's impending death.

"They escaped very quickly." A sweep of divine sense revealed no trace of the culprit in the Lake of Life.

Ning Mumu was somewhat displeased, a cold smile curling at the corner of her lips. "Using soul beasts to kill people, is this the style of a 100,000-year-old soul beast? Tsk—"

Ning Mumu sensed the faint aura of the soul beast and coldly memorized it. She was a vengeful person; if she encountered this soul beast again, she would definitely kill it!

Even when the soul beasts were besieging them, Ning Mumu had sensed something spying on them. She was just too busy to investigate at the time. Sure enough, the soul beasts attacking them exuded a coercive aura, and Ning Mumu followed them, uncovering the truth.

"How boring!" Ning Mumu felt the aura fading into the distance, her mood extremely bad. She sneered, "You're going to kill me anyway, so it's not unreasonable for me to destroy your territory, is it?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a series of sharp sword energies shot towards the Lake of Life. The sword energies carried a cold, silvery-white light, and upon touching the calm lake surface, they unleashed tremendous energy.

"Bang bang bang—"

A sound as loud as a bomb reverberated throughout the lake area, and the water seemed to boil, spraying water in all directions. Of course, the entire Lake of Life received the "care" of the sword energy, and the chaotic scene could only be described as shattered.

Despite the mess in front of her, Ning Mumu was in a great mood. Indeed, destroying things she disliked made her happy.

However, when Da Ming returned and saw this heartbreaking scene, it couldn't help but get angry. But that's a story for later; right now, Da Ming is still searching for Xiao Wu.

"Xiao Wu, Xiao Wu!" Da Ming's angry voice pierced through the forest. The surrounding soul beasts were either dead or injured, but Da Ming didn't care at all—Xiao Wu was gone!

Just a short while ago, Xiao Wu was waiting for him obediently. How come she left in less than an hour? Da Ming didn't believe that Xiao Wu would leave him on her own. He was certain that Xiao Wu must have been taken away by a disgusting human soul master. It must be!

"Damn human soul masters!" Da Ming roared again, his violent aura instantly destroying all living things within a radius of dozens of meters. A look of bewilderment crossed Da Ming's eyes. He, the nominal overlord of the Star Dou Great Forest and the master of the Lake of Life, couldn't even protect the people he cared about.

First it was Aunt Rou and Er Ming, and now it's Xiao Wu. Daming suddenly felt like a good-for-nothing, a complete and utter good-for-nothing!

"Heh, the overlord of the Star Dou Great Forest—" Da Ming mocked himself. He didn't even have the right to leave the Star Dou Great Forest! He didn't even have the freedom to search for the one he loved!

If he could, Da Ming would only want to be an ordinary soul beast, guarding his lover and family.

"Not now. He's been away from the Lake of Life for too long; he can't afford to offend those powerful figures below." Da Ming's eyes were resolute, but he turned back helplessly. "I'm sorry, Xiao Wu, I can only find you later..."
