Peerless Tang Sect: God Emperor Haotian

The Star Dou Great Forest is divided into four regions: the outer perimeter, the mixed region, the center, and the core forbidden zone. The age of the spirit beasts inhabiting each region varies. In short, the deeper you go into the forest, the stronger the spirit beasts you encounter.

The goal of Ye Sen and his two companions on this trip is the first soul ring of a soul master. Even the best first soul ring is only about four hundred years old. In other words, they do not need to go deep into the Star Dou Great Forest. They can search in the outer area.

The three searched for half a day, encountering seven or eight waves of soul beasts along the way, before finally one soul beast caught their attention.

This is a soul beast that looks like a weasel, over a meter long, with glossy blue-purple fur all over its body.

"This is a Lightning Sable," Li Mu said immediately after glancing at it.

"Lightning Sable?" Ye Sen murmured to himself, then quickly asked, "Named after lightning, it must be very fast, right?"

Li Mu nodded and replied, "Not just fast, it's extremely fast."

Ye Sen immediately said, "In that case, it should be very suitable for Nan Nan, right?"

Hearing Ye Sen say it suited her, Jiang Nannan immediately perked up, her beautiful, golden-glass eyes immediately looking at the Lightning Sable not far away.

Li Mu gave a wry smile and said, "It is suitable, but this kind of soul beast is too fast. My attacks may not be able to hit it."

As he spoke, Li Mu suddenly sprang into action, clearly intending to take advantage of the situation and catch the Lightning Sable off guard.

Soul power surged into the silver-white warhammer through his palm, and the patterns on the surface of the warhammer immediately lit up. Accompanied by a series of crackling sounds, several thumb-thick arcs of electricity immediately blasted towards the Lightning Sable, and then he himself immediately gripped the warhammer and followed up.

Age equals experience; he knows all too well how to deal with fast opponents.

The lightning bolt moved with incredible speed, seemingly about to strike the Lightning Sable, but then, unexpectedly, it ignored the oncoming lightning and swiftly passed through it. The Thunder Hammer's lightning attack landed on it, as if absorbed by its fur, causing no damage whatsoever.

"A great opportunity!"

Seeing that the Lightning Sable was heading in his direction, Li Mu immediately mustered all his strength and smashed it with his hammer.

Then, a bizarre scene unfolded: the Lightning Sable vanished from under the Thunder Hammer.

"Disappeared?"

Upon seeing this, Ye Sen was immediately taken aback. However, before he could ponder why the other party had disappeared, a strong sense of crisis suddenly arose in his heart.

Upon seeing the figure suddenly appear not far in front of him, he had almost no time to think. The sense of crisis in his heart drove him to instinctively raise his right arm, which was holding the metal tube in place. As he poured in his soul power, a soul-guided ray was immediately fired at the other party.

A bluish-purple light suddenly leaped up, easily dodging the incoming soul-guided ray. Although Ye Sen's attack missed the Lightning Sable, it bought Li Mu time to return and provide backup. The Lightning Sable, having failed in its sneak attack, flashed away and immediately distanced itself from the three of them again.

"That was close!" Li Mu wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, looking at Ye Sen with a hint of approval in his eyes. If Ye Sen hadn't reacted quickly, the two of them might have really been in danger.

Ye Sen didn't see Li Mu's reaction. Instead, he exchanged glances with the Lightning Sable in the distance and asked in surprise, "Grandpa Dean, was that guy using teleportation just now?"

Disappearing and reappearing suddenly, without leaving any trace, this is clearly the divine skill that agility-type Soul Masters dream of: instant teleportation!

Li Mu nodded, his voice becoming more serious: "You seem to know quite a bit. This is indeed teleportation. Only a very few members of the Lightning Sable clan are fortunate enough to possess this skill. We never expected to encounter it. I don't know if it's lucky or unlucky!"

Ye Sen said, "It should be considered luck; this soul skill is still quite valuable."

Li Mu said helplessly, "Even if it's valuable, it has to be obtainable. As you just saw, my attacks couldn't hit it at all. And I also have to guard against it using teleportation to ambush you, so there's even less of a chance."

"That's true." Ye Sen nodded with some regret.

Just as the group was about to retreat and abandon their objective, something unexpected happened. The Lightning Sable seemed determined not to let them go, and instead gave chase, circling around looking for an opportunity to attack.

"This is troublesome. It seems that this damn thing holds a grudge against us," Li Mu said in a serious tone.

Ye Sen understood Li Mu's meaning. Being targeted by an insurmountable soul beast in a dangerous place like the Star Dou Great Forest was not a good thing. Right now, it was only one enemy, so it wasn't too dangerous. But if other soul beasts joined in later, the situation would be very different.

Li Mu was also very safety-conscious. After realizing that something was wrong, he immediately prepared to leave the Star Dou Great Forest first, get rid of the troublesome Lightning Sable, and then consider the issue of spirit rings.

However, what they feared most came to pass. On their retreat, when a group of wind wolf spirit beasts blocked Ye Sen and his companions' path, the situation immediately turned against them.

The pack of wind wolves gave Ye Sen and his companions no time to discuss a strategy. The moment the encounter occurred, the largest wolf leader let out a howl.

The next moment, more than twenty wind wolves launched a pack attack, swarming forward.

"snort!"

Seeing this, Li Mu let out a cold snort and smashed the brains of a wind wolf with a single blow.

After killing three century-old wind wolves in succession, the wolf pack immediately changed tactics, switching from a close-quarters swarm attack to a ranged assault. With a howling hurricane, hundreds of wind blades rained down like raindrops.

Seeing this, a light shone from Li Mu's chest, and a milky-white soul-guided shield immediately unfolded. After blocking all the attacks of more than a hundred wind blades, the energy of the soul-guided shield was completely exhausted. In the gap when the shield disappeared, several dark figures quickly approached Li Mu. They were the three largest wind wolves in the wolf pack.

Judging from their physical characteristics and energy aura, these are clearly three Wind Wolf Soul Beasts with a thousand-year cultivation level.

Under the siege of the wolf pack, Li Mu was also caught in a fierce battle.

"careful."

Ye Sen suddenly tackled Jiang Nannan to the ground. The next moment, a black shadow flashed through the air, it was the Lightning Sable's sneak attack.

After dodging the opponent's sneak attack, Ye Sen immediately pulled Jiang Nannan up.

Jiang Nannan looked very nervous, clearly realizing that something was wrong.

At this moment, Ye Sen had no time to comfort Jiang Nannan; the most urgent task was to eliminate the threat posed by the Lightning Sable.

The Lightning Sable is fast and has decent attack power, but its weakness is its defense. The only way to defeat it is to exploit its only weakness.

"How can I hit it?" Ye Sen's mind raced. Pressure is a motivator; under pressure, people's minds are often sharper than usual, making it easier to come up with solutions.

Ye Sen quickly came up with a solution.

That's his second martial soul!
