The giant lizard suddenly turned its head, opened its mouth wide and let out a hoarse roar, its thick tail sweeping across, and the two guards jumped away to avoid it.

Immediately afterwards, two more Soul Masters flanked from both sides, attacking from the left and right, each revealing their own Martial Soul: the one on the left wielded a long spear, and the one on the right wielded a heavy round shield.

One was the main attacker, and the other was the main defender; they cooperated very well.

Four or five minutes later, the armored giant lizard had several more wounds on its body.

Although they were all superficial injuries and not fatal, the blood seeping out after the scales were broken and the increasingly sluggish movements all indicated that the situation was beginning to tilt in Liu Yingda's favor.

If the fighting continues like this, barring any unforeseen circumstances, this thousand-year-old giant lizard will undoubtedly die.

Su Yuntao crouched in the shadow of the bushes above the cliff, able to see clearly what was happening below through the gaps in the branches and leaves.

He watched as the three Soul Masters coordinated their attack on the giant lizard, and a slight smile curved his lips.

Trying to be the mantis stalking the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind it—it's not that easy.

He silently pulled a hidden arrow from his sleeve, raised his hand, and aimed it at several soul beasts that had been drawn to the battle in the nearby woods.

The soul beasts had only been observing the commotion from afar, without directly joining the battle, because they sensed the aura of the armored giant lizard and instinctively waited for it to decide the outcome first.

But what Su Yuntao wanted was to break this delicate balance.

With a soft "whoosh," a short arrow accurately struck the shoulder of a gray-furred giant wolf behind the bushes.

The giant wolf howled in pain and suddenly sprang out of the bushes, its blood-red eyes scanning the battlefield below the cliff.

Almost simultaneously, Su Yuntao swiftly fired two more arrows, each aimed at a different soul beast in a different direction, startling them into letting out a low growl.

The commotion from three directions occurred almost simultaneously. The soul beasts, who had been observing, were now provoked and frightened, and turned their gazes to the group of humans fighting below the cliff.

"roar--"

A black-bristled wild boar charged forward and crashed into one of Liu Yingda's guards on his flank.

Immediately afterwards, the gray-furred giant wolf and another spirit beast resembling a lynx also joined the battle.

Chaos erupted immediately below the cliff.

Liu Yingda's expression changed instantly.

The formation that had been besieging the armored giant lizard was completely disrupted by the sudden intrusion of the soul beast. Several guards were caught off guard and were knocked away, their screams echoing throughout the room.

The black-clad Soul Master, while dealing with the armored giant lizard's counterattack, shouted hoarsely:

"Where did this soul beast come from?"

Liu Yingda's eyesight was sharper than others'.

In the direction from which the soul beast rushed out, he vaguely glimpsed a fleeting figure.

That figure, that movement, that dusty gray soft armor.

Liu Yingda's eyes widened suddenly. Ignoring the guards still fighting around him, he blurted out:

"Su Yuntao! It's Su Yuntao!"

But he knew it was too late when he said those words.

In a few leaps and bounds, Su Yuntao's figure had already disappeared before his eyes.

Meanwhile, the armored giant lizard and several other soul beasts had already charged into their ranks.

More importantly, this battle has drawn the attention of all the nearby spirit beasts.

"That bastard!"

Liu Yingda gritted his teeth and roared, unleashing his soul power to cleave apart a soul beast that was charging at him.

But before Liu Yingda could recover, even more soul beasts surged up from all directions.

The first to arrive were two hundred-year-old red-maned wolves, followed closely by a jet-black shadow leopard, and more deep, heavy breathing could be heard approaching from among the shadows of the trees.

Behind these soul beasts, a pair of dark silver vertical pupils slowly emerged from the shadows of the forest.

A giant wolf, its fur a deep gray, strolled out slowly, each step carrying a suffocating sense of oppression.

This is a four-thousand-year-old soul-stealing wolf.

Unlike other spirit beasts that rush to pounce on their prey, it stands high on the edge of the forest, looking down at the chaotic battlefield below, like a king surveying his territory.

Then it opened its mouth and let out a low, deep howl, imbued with a spiritual energy.

"roar--"

The roar of the beast seemed to solidify into a sound wave, spreading out instantly.

The guards in front of Liu Yingda were waving their swords to block the giant lizard that pounced on them. The moment they were hit by the wolf howl, they were frozen in place as if they had been nailed to something.

Their eyes were unfocused, their pupils dilated, and the weapons in their hands remained motionless in mid-air.

The next second, the armored giant lizard's tail swept across, and the three people were sent flying like kites with broken strings, crashing into the cliff face and sliding down, never to get up again.

"A Soul-Stealing Wolf!" The black-clad Soul Master's face was ashen. "This is a Soul-Stealing Wolf over four thousand years old! Retreat! Retreat now!"

Liu Yingda's lips trembled slightly as he scanned his surroundings. More than half of the guards he had hired had been killed or wounded, and the encirclement of the soul beasts was still tightening. If the fighting continued, they would not only fail to kill Su Yuntao, but they themselves would also perish here.

He finally gritted his teeth and forced out a single word: "Withdraw!"

But as soon as he finished speaking, he caught a glimpse of a figure crouching below the dark red vines on the shady side of the cliff.

That was Su Yuntao.

While Liu Yingda and the others were entangled by the soul beasts, he had silently circled around to the side and below the Blood Bone Vine Fruit.

The fist-sized, dark red fruit had developed a glossy sheen, and its sweet and intense aroma captivated everyone.

The Blood Bone Vine Fruit ripened at this moment.

Su Yuntao reached out and gently twisted the entire Blood Bone Vine Fruit, which landed steadily in his palm.

Liu Yingda's eyes were bloodshot as he stared intently at the dark red fruit in Su Yuntao's hand, his features contorted in pain.

He shouted hoarsely:

"Everyone rush towards Su Yuntao! If we're not having an easy time, he shouldn't be either! Drag him into this!"

The remaining guards and the three Soul Masters exchanged a glance, gritted their teeth, and began to break through towards Su Yuntao's direction.

The soul beasts behind them were in hot pursuit. The tail of the armored giant lizard, the claws of the gray-maned wolf, and the sharp teeth of the shadow leopard—the pursuit of those soul beasts did not slow down at all because of their movement. A beast tide was formed at the bottom of the cliff, moving towards Su Yuntao's direction.

Su Yuntao stood beneath the vines, watching Liu Yingda and his group surge toward him, a cold smile playing on his lips.

Trying to shift the blame?

You need to have the skill to do that!

He shoved the Blood Bone Vine Fruit into his robes and let out a low shout:

"Lone Wolf, possess me!"

A faint blue light emanated from the center of his brow, traveling upwards along the brow and into his hair bun.

As the blue light was injected, his hair instantly turned gray and grew rapidly.

At the same time, his body seemed to have swelled up considerably, and all ten fingers of his hands had transformed into wolf claws. White and yellow halos shone from his feet, constantly swirling up and down from his feet to the top of his head.
