Douluo: Martial Soul Asura Sword, Supreme Killing God

"Xiao Wu..." Arou gave a bitter smile, "You must live well, and don't think about avenging your mother..."

Xiao Wu screamed even more shrilly, as if she were crying out, "Mommy, no!"

Her pink eyes were filled with fear and pleading as she struggled desperately to break free of her restraints, tears streaming down her face.

"Listen to me." Ah Rou's tears finally streamed down her face, her voice choked with sobs, "This is all Mom can do for you, you must live on..."

Seeing her daughter struggling, Arou felt as if her heart was being torn apart, as if someone was taking a blunt knife and slowly stabbing it into her heart.

She longed to hug her beloved daughter again, to stroke her fluffy little head, and to hear her chattering and cuddling around her again...

But she never had another chance.

"I hope you will keep your word."

Arou turned to look at Su Mo, her voice suddenly calming down, carrying a resigned acceptance of her fate.

Su Mo nodded slightly, which was considered a promise.

Arou gave Xiaowu one last deep look, forcing a smile.

"Goodbye... Xiao Wu..."

As she finished speaking, a faint red glow began to emanate from Arou's body.

Soon, the light grew brighter and brighter, enveloping her entirely.

Seeing this, Yue Guan stepped forward and grabbed Xiao Wu from the ghost's grasp.

"Old ghost, congratulations, you are about to obtain a 100,000-year soul ring."

Yue Guan looked at the increasingly intense red light emanating from A Rou and smiled as he spoke to the ghost.

His congratulations were heartfelt, without the slightest hint of jealousy.

Putting aside the life-and-death bond between him and the ghost, Su Mo had previously promised that as long as they captured the Soft Bone Rabbit, they would both have a chance to obtain a 100,000-year soul ring.

Soon, the red light emanating from Arou's body reached its peak, and she let out a shrill scream—the agony of her soul burning.

The next instant, the red light transformed into a dazzling beam of light, pouring into the ghostly figure.

"Xiao Wu, Mom will always love you. Live well..."

These were Arou's last words.

As soon as she finished speaking, her figure vanished instantly, turning into countless specks of light that completely merged into the ghost's body.

Xiao Wu watched helplessly as her mother vanished before her eyes, and all her struggles ceased instantly.

Her pink eyes were filled with endless despair.

Her mother died...

She no longer has a mother...

Her mother, who had been with her for tens of thousands of years, died right before her eyes.

At the same time, the ghostly aura rose steadily, and a huge and terrifying wave of soul power emanated from him, sweeping across the surroundings.

His previous injuries also recovered rapidly, at a speed visible to the naked eye.

As the light faded, the sacrifice of the 100,000-year-old soul beast was officially completed.

The ghost was surrounded by nine spirit rings: two yellow, two purple, four black, and one red. The bright red ninth spirit ring was particularly dazzling.

Moreover, the 100,000-year-old left leg bone was also incorporated into his left calf during the sacrifice.

At this moment, the ghost's soul power had reached level ninety-three.

Ghost felt the surging power within him and his expression became excited.

He never imagined that one day he would possess such coveted treasures as a 100,000-year soul ring and soul bone.

"Alright, now's not the time to be happy. Let's hurry over to Grandpa Golden Crocodile's place," Su Mo interrupted his joy.

"Your Highness, should we release this rabbit?" Yue Guan asked suddenly, holding Xiao Wu in his arms.

He knew that Su Mo had made a promise to that transformed soul beast and would definitely not go back on his word.

But he really couldn't understand what Su Mo was planning. He could have obtained soul rings and soul bones by killing them, so why did he choose to let this rabbit go?

"We will release it, but not now." Su Mo smiled mysteriously. "You'll find out soon enough. Let's head over there first."

Su Mo's purpose was simple: both the Azure Bull Python and the Titan Giant Ape, those two big idiots, liked Xiao Wu, the rabbit, and were complete simps.

Would they choose to sacrifice themselves for Xiao Wu?

Su Mo felt the probability was very high.

It doesn't matter if they don't offer sacrifices.

If Ghost and Yue Guan were to use their Martial Soul Fusion Skill again, it would be enough to cripple one of the Golden Crocodile Douluo's creatures, which would then be left for Yue Guan to absorb.

In short, Su Mo will only release Xiao Wu after he has squeezed every last drop of value out of her.

Chapter 41 The Battle at the Lake of Life, and the Conditions for Releasing Xiao Wu

Deep within the core area of ​​the Starry Sky Forest, the once beautiful Lake of Life is now a scene of devastation.

The vegetation around the lake had been completely destroyed, and the ground was riddled with huge craters. A strong stench of blood filled the air.

At this moment, Golden Crocodile Douluo stood in mid-air, and both the Titan Giant Ape and the Azure Bull Python opposite him were injured.

On the Titan Ape's massive, mountain-like body were several gruesome wounds, dripping with blood, clearly marks left by the Golden Crocodile's claws.

Several deep cracks appeared on the scales of the Azure Bull Python, its flesh was torn and twisted, and even one of its horns was broken off.

In contrast, Golden Crocodile Douluo remained calm and composed, with almost no visible injuries on his body.

Just then, Su Mo and his group appeared in the distance.

Upon noticing their arrival, both sides tacitly ceased fighting.

The Azure Bull Python looked at Su Mo and the others, its pupils suddenly contracting.

Xiao Wu was held firmly in the ghost's hand, covered in wounds, her four rabbit legs drooping limply, her long ears drooping, and her eyes becoming empty and dull, as if the whole rabbit had lost its soul.

Clearly, Xiao Wu was still immersed in the grief of losing her mother.

"Damn humans! Release Sister Xiaowu!" The Azure Bull Python was instantly enraged.

At the same time, the Titan Ape also saw Xiao Wu's miserable appearance.

Its eyes were bloodshot, and its roar was filled with heartache and rage.

At this moment, both giant beasts simultaneously wanted to rush over to save Xiao Wu.

However, Golden Crocodile Douluo would not let them have their way. In a flash, he blocked their path.

The Titan Ape was now blinded by rage. It roared and threw a punch at Golden Crocodile Douluo.

Golden Crocodile Douluo snorted coldly and stepped forward to meet the attack. With a single clash, he sent the Titan Giant Ape flying.

The Titan Ape's massive body crashed heavily onto the ground some distance away, creating a deep crater, instantly sending up dust and flying debris.

"You two beasts think you can get past me?" Golden Crocodile Douluo's voice was indifferent and arrogant.

Upon seeing this, the Azure Bull Python suddenly swung its massive body, attempting to bypass it from the side.

However, Golden Crocodile Douluo swayed and blocked its way again, forcing it back with a single blow: "I told you, no one is getting past me."

At this moment, Su Mo, who was in the distance, spoke up: "If you want this rabbit to live, stop."

His voice wasn't loud, but it reached the ears of the Titan Ape and the Azure Bull Python clearly.

The Titan Ape rose from the ground, its enormous eyes fixed on Su Mo and his group, as if it wanted to devour them alive. But for Xiao Wu's sake, it dared not act rashly again.

The Azure Bull Python quickly steadied itself and asked in a deep voice, "Humans, what will it take for you to release Sister Xiaowu? Also, what have you done to Aunt Rou?"

At this time, Xiao Wu was arrested, but her mother, A Rou, was nowhere to be found.

In addition, during the previous fierce battle, an extremely large energy fluctuation was heard from afar.

It was familiar with that kind of fluctuation; it was a phenomenon that only occurred when a soul beast made a sacrifice.

At this moment, only Xiao Wu was present, and the ominous premonition in the Azure Bull Python's heart grew stronger and stronger.

"That transformed soul beast is dead," Su Mo said calmly.

"What... Aunt Rou..." The Azure Bull Python was immediately overcome with grief.

Its massive body trembled incessantly, its eyes filled with anger, pain, and self-reproach.

At the same time, upon hearing Su Mo's words, the Titan Ape unleashed an even more frenzied roar, as if it were wailing in despair.

"Gentlemen, please calm down." Su Mo's lips curled slightly. "I can give this rabbit a chance to live, but on one condition."

"What are the conditions?" the Azure Bull Python asked hastily.

With the Golden Crocodile Douluo around, they couldn't save Sister Xiao Wu or avenge Aunt Rou.

If given the chance to let Sister Xiaowu live, it would be willing to accept any condition, even if it meant death.

If it weren't for Xiaowu's mother saving it and Erming back then, they would have died long ago.

It was Xiao Wu's mother who raised them, and it was A Rou who saved their lives. For Xiao Wu, it was willing to do anything.

Moreover, both it and Erming have always harbored feelings for Sister Xiaowu.

So no matter the circumstances, it will choose to let its beloved Xiao Wu live.

“It’s simple, I need the Titan Ape to sacrifice itself for the one beside me.” Su Mo raised his hand and pointed at Yue Guan.

Upon hearing this, Yue Guan's eyes lit up immediately, and her breathing became a little rapid.

However, Su Mo's next words left everyone present speechless with shock.

He paused for a moment, then continued, "And you, Azure Bull Python, need to be sacrificed to me."

Although he is only level 47 now, he is far from being able to absorb the fifth soul ring.

However, sacrificing a soul beast is different from hunting soul beasts to obtain a soul ring.

Sacrifice is when a 100,000-year-old soul beast voluntarily offers everything to a soul master, and the soul master does not need to reach a certain level.

Therefore, as long as the Azure Bull Python is willing to sacrifice itself, it can absorb a 100,000-year soul ring.
