Douluo Continent: We agreed on a simulation, but they've come to life?

He clearly doesn't love her, he's clearly the real culprit who killed her family, and he's an extremely cruel evil spirit master, so why does he go to such great lengths to help her nourish her body every day and every month?

While the beauty was stunned, Ruomu was a little confused.

"Elder Xuan? Please don't be ridiculous. This could really kill people. There are many Soul King level disciples in our team. It would be very difficult to protect them from a 100,000-year-old Soul Beast like this..."

"..."

But the surroundings remained deathly silent.

The disheveled old man did not appear.

"Elder Xuan..." Ruomu's throat bobbed, his voice trembling slightly.

Could that old man really have abandoned them and gone into the forest to steal bird eggs and find ingredients for brewing wine?

That's a 100,000-year-old soul beast, you bastard!

People can really die!

……

Starry Sky Forest.

The periphery of the core area.

Two dark figures slowly emerged atop a towering ancient tree, where the view was expansive, offering a panoramic vista for dozens of miles around.

"This should be it..." the crow said, nodding slightly as it gazed at the horizon.

"This crow tracking technique is quite good. I thought your crows were only good at escaping," another dark figure said calmly.

Crow: (皿#)

"Kid, you're pretty arrogant... Let's have another match sometime, and I'll make sure you see the might of the Dark Raven."

"OK……"

The man in the black robe lifted his hood, revealing a handsome yet slightly eerie young man's face, with a hint of scarlet in his eyes and a three-legged monster bird tattooed on his neck.

For some reason, although his appearance wasn't top-tier, his charisma was irresistibly captivating.

"Then I'll wait and see." Lu Cheng smirked.

"Tsk tsk... You kid, you're born to be a demonic cultivator." Crow glanced at him, a hint of amazement flashing in his eyes. This guy already had a good foundation, and with those blood-red eyes, his evil and demonic aura was simply invincible among the female disciples of the Holy Spirit Sect. Countless beautiful female disciples in the sect wanted to climb into his bed... It is said that not long ago, Cain, the young sect leader of the Mingyu Sect, a subordinate sect of the Holy Spirit Sect, was also so infatuated with him that he couldn't move.

"Heh, they're all just pretty faces and skeletons." Lu Cheng sneered. "If they didn't want to win over the Mingyu Sect, why would they have any dealings with that woman?"

“I always feel like you’re playing a long game.” Crow frowned slightly, scrutinizing Lu Cheng intently. “But I still can’t figure it out…”

Lu Cheng remained silent, offering no reply.

He had a fairly good impression of the crow. This guy was just unlucky. Because he practiced dark techniques, he was often hunted down. Once, he couldn't stand the frustration anymore, so he turned around and killed the person, and then simply joined the Holy Spirit Cult.

Since joining the cult, he has focused on cultivating dark energy, unlike other members who rely on devouring the flesh and souls of others or indiscriminately killing innocent people to quickly improve their cultivation.

“Crow, you are a good person,” Lu Cheng sighed softly.

"But good people don't always get good rewards..."

crow:???

"You must be out of your mind. You've joined the Holy Spirit Cult, what good can you possibly be?" Crow sneered, but a hint of lingering affection flashed in his eyes.

If given a choice, who would willingly become a notorious evil spirit master, abandoning their past worldly connections and squeezing in with a bunch of worthless scoundrels...

"Boom!!"

As the two were chatting, a deafening sound suddenly came from afar. Looking up, they saw billowing dust and the aftershocks of a battle rising in the distance.

"A 100,000-year-old soul beast?" Crow looked astonished.

"Wasn't Xuanzi supposed to be with him? Where did that old man go? Why is it just a bunch of young disciples fighting for their lives?"

"Are the lives of Shrek Academy inner court disciples so worthless?"

"You're only just realizing this?" Lu Cheng stretched lazily. "The inner disciples of Shrek Academy are all just expendable resources... If those old fogies at the Sea God Pavilion really intended to eradicate evil soul masters, they wouldn't have sent their disciples here to die one by one."

"Rotten and bloated, is this Shrek Academy?" Raven sighed. "It seems that the righteous path and the demonic path are the same."

"But then again..." a hint of mockery flashed in the crow's eyes, "Should we save them?"

"..."

Lu Cheng surveyed all of this with indifference.

With his mental power, he could even clearly capture the micro-expressions of every inner court disciple on the battlefield thousands of meters away.

But he didn't rush to make a move.

"They've made great progress over the years."

Lu Cheng's gaze fell on a figure dressed in the red and white inner courtyard attire, whose figure had become even taller and more slender. Her long, black hair was slightly disheveled and draped over her shoulders due to the sudden encounter with a powerful enemy. Her temperament was more mature and composed than it had been three years ago, and her pretty face was even more aloof and gentle...

He sighed softly.

"A level 79 Soul Saint at the peak, she truly deserves the title of genius. She must be the top of the third generation of disciples that Shrek Academy is focusing on cultivating." A hint of amazement and mockery flashed in Crow's eyes.

"But...it seems your little lover is nearing her end?"

……

"Pfft~"

Zhang Lexuan coughed up a mouthful of blood, her pretty face turning even paler. Clutching her chest, she narrowly avoided the attack of the 100,000-year-old Blood-Eating Demon Python and landed on a branch of an ancient tree, her other hand supporting the trunk.

A 100,000-year-old soul beast is enough to make most Soul Douluo powerhouses close their eyes and wait for death.

Not to mention that their team only had one Soul Douluo leader, three Soul Saints, and the rest were inner court disciples of Soul Emperors and Soul Kings.

"what!"

Several screams could be heard in the distance.

The inner courtyard disciple was lashed against a tree trunk by the Blood-Eating Python's tail, his clothes corroded by the crimson blood it spewed out, and his body suffered considerable injuries...

However, for some reason, the demonic python clearly didn't kill.

It only severely injured those inner court junior brothers and sisters who were at the Soul King level, rendering them unable to move.

"It wants to deal with us first, then take everyone back to its lair to slowly torture and devour us. Its blood-corroding ability can melt away our physical bodies and soul power, turning them into its nourishment," Ruomu roared, his eyes turning red.

With Elder Xuan gone, it's a fact that they can only rely on themselves now...

"Le Xuan, how many more times can you release your Martial Soul True Body?" Ruo Mu clasped his hands together, and the thick sea of trees rose up, trying his best to briefly trap the Blood-Eating Demon Python within it. He looked at Zhang Le Xuan with urgent eyes.

"Once! My soul power is completely depleted," Zhang Lexuan said with difficulty.

This time, it was also a method of exploding blood.

"Old Chen, heal and restore Le Xuan." Ruo Mu gritted his teeth, feeling the Blood-Eating Demon Python frantically spitting out crimson blood and corroding the wooden cocoon inside the huge wooden cocoon. It probably wouldn't last long before it was released.

The only healing-type Soul Master in the team, a Soul Saint, gritted his teeth. His Soul Power was almost exhausted, but in this life-or-death situation, he couldn't care less about anything else. He haphazardly stuffed two mouthfuls of Soul Power-restoring pills into his mouth, and beams of holy light fell on Ruomu, Zhang Lexuan, and another Soul Saint.

"Hoo... I'll release the cocoon in three seconds. Le Xuan, try trapping it again. This time, everyone will use their trump cards. Success or failure hinges on this." After recovering from the treatment, Ruo Mu's complexion improved. She gritted her teeth and said with a maniacal look in her eyes.

"Damn it, it's just a 100,000-year-old soul beast, and it thinks it can devour me? Dream on!"

"it is good!"

The others all stared intently at the wooden cocoon.

"three!"

"two!"

"one!"

With a shout from Ruomu, the wooden cocoon vanished instantly. The Blood-Eating Python was momentarily stunned, but was then trapped by a silver moon, followed by a series of devastating attacks.

"..."

The atmosphere was quite quiet.

Ruomu's eyes were bloodshot as he stared intently into the rising smoke.

"It's over?" The healing-type Soul Saint disciple leaned against the tree, his legs trembling. The feeling of surviving a calamity was truly...

"No! Retreat!"

Ruomu's pupils suddenly contracted, and the wooden vines pulled the bodies of the others, causing them to retreat abruptly.

At the same time, an extremely foul-smelling crimson liquid splashed onto the tree trunk where everyone had just stood, instantly corroding the massive ancient tree into a pool of rotten mud, a terrifying and horrifying sight.

"Gurgle~"

Ruomu and the others stood silently in place, watching as the enormous python, nearly a hundred meters long, slowly crawled out from the dust and mist, flicking its tongue and looking down at them indifferently with its vertical pupils.

And in his eyes, there was a hint of anger.

Large patches of hard scales had fallen off its back, revealing a large area of severe wounds, while blood was also flowing profusely from the python's belly...

Clearly, although he wasn't dead, he was seriously injured.

only……

Ruomu and the others were in even worse condition.

The oil has run out and the lamp is extinguished.

"Everyone, I'm sorry..." Ruomu wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth, a bitter look flashing in her eyes.

Zhang Lexuan simply gazed quietly at the giant python.

The hairpin made a clear, ringing sound.

A hint of relief flashed in her eyes.

If he hears the news of her death... will he be sad?

Perhaps, but for some reason, even though she hated him to the core, the first person she thought of before she died was that guy.

"hiss!"

The giant python flicked its tongue, a mocking glint in its eyes.
