20: Chapter 20, Section 20: Today, none of you will leave alive.

"A fight to the death?" The Golden-Eyed Black Dragon King repeated these four words, his golden vertical pupils churning with a terrifying, baleful light.

Dragon God Douluo Mu En's determination was like a match, completely igniting his long-repressed anger.

As the master of the Star Dou Great Forest, he had endured the encroachment of human Spirit Masters for long enough.

Now, the opponent dared to attack his doorstep and even utter such wild words; did they really think he, the Golden-Eyed Black Dragon King, was made of mud?

The Bi Ji was also silent.

She looked at Dragon God Douluo Mu En's face, etched with tragic resolve, and then at the Golden-Eyed Black Dragon King's tensed dragon body; the unease in her heart grew stronger.

She knew that Dragon God Douluo Mu En's words were no empty threat; the foundation of Shrek Academy was unfathomable.

If they truly tore off the mask of civility, even if the Star Dou Great Forest managed to win, it would inevitably suffer heavy losses.

Yet, at this point, backing down was clearly impossible—the Golden-Eyed Black Dragon King's pride, as well as the dignity of the Soul Beast Clan, would not allow them to bow under human threats.

The rain remained violent, and the atmosphere in the forest was so heavy it felt as if it were about to drip water.

Just then, several powerful auras suddenly rushed over from the direction of the Lake of Life, the resulting shockwaves blowing away the accumulated water on the ground.

"Roar!" A roar filled with a violent aura resounded through the forest.

A massive Dark-Gold Terrorclaw Bear charged out first; it was the sixth-ranked among the Ten Great Fierce Beasts, Bear Monarch.

His entire body was covered in dark golden fur, each strand standing up like a steel needle; his lantern-sized eyes were blood-red, and his sharp bear claws shimmered with a chilling luster.

Just standing there, he made the air seem as if it were being torn apart.

Following closely behind was a man wearing purple robes with a feminine face, his body surrounded by a dense aura of plants; it was the King of Ten Thousand Demons.

Behind him followed several figures with equally powerful auras, including the humanoid Zi Ji and high-level fierce beasts that retained some animal characteristics.

The Soul Power fluctuations emitted from each one were enough to make an ordinary Titled Douluo tremble with fear.

They quickly stood in front of the Bi Ji, forming an unbreakable barrier.

Among the Ten Great Fierce Beasts, except for those not in the Star Dou Great Forest, almost all available top-tier combat power had arrived.

"Level 97... No, it's Level 99!" Yan Shaozhe's expression changed drastically, and cold sweat instantly seeped from his forehead.

He could clearly feel that the auras on Bear Monarch and the King of Ten Thousand Demons were not at all weaker than Dragon God Douluo Mu En's, and even vaguely carried a wilder, more violent sense of oppression.

The auras of the other fierce beasts had also reached Level 97 or above.

With such a lineup, let alone their group of elders, even if the entire Shrek Academy were to mobilize, they would likely pay a painful price.

Only now did he understand that the foundation of the Star Dou Great Forest was far more terrifying than they had imagined.

The fact that the Bi Ji had appeared alone previously was not because she lacked strength, but because she was simply not skilled at fighting—with these fierce beasts around, even if the Golden-Eyed Black Dragon King were not there, no one could harm her in the slightest.

"Hehe..." Bear Monarch flexed his thick neck, his knuckles popping.

His blood-red eyes stared fixedly at Dragon God Douluo Mu En's group, his tone filled with bloodthirsty desire.

"I was just thinking about finding an excuse to visit Shrek City, but I didn't expect you all to deliver yourselves to my doorstep."

"Do you really think our Star Dou Great Forest is a soft persimmon for you to squeeze?"

He despised this high-and-mighty attitude of humans the most, especially these so-called righteous sects who spoke high-sounding words while being more ruthless than anyone when hunting Spirit Beasts in secret.

Today, since the other party had come looking for trouble, it suited him perfectly, and it would let these humans know that Spirit Beasts were not to be trifled with!

The King of Ten Thousand Demons gently stroked the vines wrapped around his cuffs, a cold smile hanging on his face.

"Dragon God Douluo Mu En, you should know that the Star Dou Great Forest is not a place for you to run wild."

"Take your people and leave, and we can pretend nothing happened."

Zi Ji crossed her arms, her purple eyes full of mockery.

"Just relying on the few of you, you want to fight us to the death? That's too naive."

Dragon God Douluo Mu En's heart sank to the bottom.

He had originally thought that relying on the prestige of Shrek Academy, he could at least get the other party to sit down and talk, even if it were just empty pretense, to buy some time to investigate Bei Bei's whereabouts.

But looking at the current situation, the Golden-Eyed Black Dragon King and the others had no intention of giving him that chance.

Just as he was pondering a countermeasure, the Golden-Eyed Black Dragon King suddenly moved.

"No more talk!"

As the cold voice fell, a cluster of ink-black flames suddenly condensed in the Golden-Eyed Black Dragon King's huge dragon mouth.

The flames seemed to be able to devour all light, emitting a heart-palpitating aura of destruction.

Before Dragon God Douluo Mu En and the others could react, the Black Dragon Flame shot out like a black lightning bolt, carrying a whistling sound as it tore through the air, smashing fiercely toward their location!

"Not good!" Dragon God Douluo Mu En's expression changed drastically.

Without thinking, he pushed the power of the Holy Dragon of Light to the limit, and brilliant golden light formed a huge light shield in front of him.

"Boom—!" The moment the Black Dragon Flame collided with the light shield, a deafening explosion erupted.

The black flames, like maggots on a bone, frantically gnawed at the golden light shield, making a sizzling sound as the golden light on the shield dimmed at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Dragon God Douluo Mu En only felt a massive, overwhelming force hit him, and he was forced to retreat repeatedly, a trace of blood spilling from the corner of his mouth.

"Attack!" The Golden-Eyed Black Dragon King's dragon roar sounded again, like a bugle call for an all-out assault.

"Well come!" Bear Monarch roared, his massive body shooting out like a cannonball.

His sharp Dark-Gold Terrorclaw carried a whistle that tore through the air, lunging directly at Xuan Zi.

He had long found this group of humans displeasing, and now that he finally had the chance to take action, he naturally wouldn't hold back.

The King of Ten Thousand Demons also moved, the vines all over his body instantly surging, transforming into countless green long whips.

Carrying fierce winds, they wrapped around several elders with slightly weaker cultivation.

Zi Ji flickered, transforming into a purple bolt of lightning, aiming directly at Yan Shaozhe.

The remaining fierce beasts also took action one after another, various Spirit Abilities pouring out like a rainstorm, completely surrounding the elders of Shrek Academy.

"Go!" Dragon God Douluo Mu En roared, forcibly suppressing the churning blood in his body.

At this point, there was no retreat; they could only fight to the death!

Xuan Zi and the others also reacted, quickly taking positions according to the joint attack method of Shrek Academy, each releasing their strongest Spirit Abilities to barely resist the fierce beasts' fierce onslaught.

For a time, light and darkness intertwined, Soul Power and beast power collided, and the entire core area of the Star Dou Great Forest was shrouded in violent energy.

The destructive aura of the Black Dragon Flame, the holy brilliance of the Holy Dragon of Light, the tearing power of the Dark-Gold Terrorclaw, the Binding technique of plant vines... various powers exploded in the rainy night, tearing huge ravines into the ground, while towering ancient trees were snapped in half, emitting painful groans.

Dragon God Douluo Mu En desperately entangled with the Golden-Eyed Black Dragon King, every collision causing his blood to churn.

He could clearly feel that the Golden-Eyed Black Dragon King's power was like an endless abyss; no matter how he attacked, he could not shake the opponent in the slightest, and instead, his own injuries were constantly worsening.

"Dragon God Douluo Mu En, give up."

The Golden-Eyed Black Dragon King's voice rang in his ears, saying, "Today, none of you will leave!"

Dragon God Douluo Mu En coughed up a mouthful of blood, but he still gritted his teeth, his eyes flashing with indomitable light.

He know he might have been truly wrong; perhaps Bei Bei's disappearance was not the work of the Star Dou Great Forest, and perhaps this battle was a misunderstanding from the very beginning.

But now, it was too late to say anything.

Rain mixed with blood, staining the ground red.

Although the elders of Shrek Academy fought desperately, in the face of an absolute gap in strength, they had gradually fallen into a disadvantage.

Xuan Zi was forced to retreat repeatedly by the King of Ten Thousand Demons, and several wounds deep enough to see bone had already been added to his body.

Yan Shaozhe was suppressed by Zi Ji's speed and could only barely protect himself; several elderly elders were in even more precarious situations, likely to fall at any moment.

Watching all this, a sense of despair surged in Dragon God Douluo Mu En's heart.

Could it be that today, he and these pillars of Shrek were really going to be buried here?
