26: Chapter 26 The Red King Appears, Crisis!

Just as the giant palm constructed from Qian Xunji's Angel Soul Power drew closer and closer to the Three-Eyed Golden Lion.

The next moment.

The forest beneath Qian Xunji suddenly trembled, and a dark red figure, as if tearing through the sky, landed directly in front of the Three-Eyed Golden Lion.

This dark red figure was a Spirit Beast over five meters in length, with a body resembling a Lion but built like a mastiff.

It possessed three heads, its entire body was covered in crimson-red mane, and its four paws were thick with flame patterns.

As it walked, dark red flames lingered around it, and its Aura was domineering and terrifying.

The Spirit Beast that appeared before the Three-Eyed Golden Lion was her guardian, Chi Wang, who ranked eighth among the Ten Great Fierce Beasts tens of thousands of years later.

His true form was a Three-Headed Scarlet Mastiff, a fire-attribute Spirit Beast that also possessed a portion of the Dragon Clan Bloodline, and his current cultivation was roughly around 270,000 years.

"Human, how dare you covet the Auspicious Beast of my Star Dou Great Forest! You are truly tired of living!"

After Chi Wang appeared, he waved a paw, and terrifying red Soul Power instantly shattered Qian Xunji's giant palm.

Then, he cast his gaze toward Qian Xunji and let out a ferocious roar.

As the protector of the Emperor Auspicious Beast, how could he possibly not be by the Three-Eyed Golden Lion's side?

Although the Three-Eyed Golden Lion thought she had run away from home, he constantly followed closely by her side, terrified that she might encounter any accidents.

If any mishap befell the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, Chi Wang believed that Ditian would definitely slaughter him.

Ten of him in Ditian's eyes still fell far short of a single Three-Eyed Golden Lion.

"This is… a speaking 100,000-year Spirit Beast?!"

Seeing Chi Wang speak human words, Qian Xunji was greatly shocked.

Moreover, he felt terrifying Soul Power fluctuations coming from Chi Wang, which were not inferior to those of his uncles Qianjun and Jiangmo.

Seeing that Chi Wang had already appeared, Yun Yuan by Qian Xunji's side instantly felt that things were ominous; leaving now would be somewhat difficult.

According to Yun Yuan's estimation, Chi Wang's current strength was at least equivalent to a Rank 96 Super Douluo, while his teacher was currently just entering the Realm of Titled Douluo, with a Soul Power Rank of 91.

Facing such a terrifying opponent with a five-Rank gap in Soul Power, could his teacher safely take him away?

Seeing Chi Wang appear below, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion no longer had a trace of panic in her eyes.

Her bodyguard Chi Wang had arrived, so now—the roles of the attacker and defender were reversed!

As for the human powerhouse above who wanted to capture her, she would certainly not let him off so easily.

"Chi Wang, that human powerhouse just tried to capture me. Hurry up and teach them a good lesson for me; I want to make them pay the price for their actions."

Speaking in human language with an angry expression, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion commanded Chi Wang beside her.

Hearing this, Chi Wang slightly nodded, then launched an attack toward Qian Xunji and Yun Yuan.

At this moment, Yun Yuan above was already urging his teacher Qian Xunji to escape.

As for fighting head-on, he had not the slightest intention of doing so.

Every Rank of a Titled Douluo was like heaven and earth.

With a five-Rank difference, it would already be remarkable if Qian Xunji could endure a few moves before Chi Wang.

At this moment, Qian Xunji felt deep regret in his heart.

Had he known earlier, he should have listened to his Disciple Yun Yuan and not gone to trouble that golden Spirit Beast.

Now, directly entangled by such a powerful Spirit Beast like Chi Wang, things were truly troublesome.

But the most important thing now was to escape and take Yun Yuan far away from this dangerous Star Dou Great Forest.

Although Qian Xunji possessed the Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul and had an advantage in escaping, the five-Rank Soul Power gap allowed Chi Wang to quickly catch up to Qian Xunji and Yun Yuan.

Upon closing in on Qian Xunji and Yun Yuan, Chi Wang erupted with terrifying dark red Soul Power around his body, lunging his forelimbs toward the two of them.

His giant paws carried dark red flames characterized by the ability to burn Soul Power and corrode Spirit Bones.

Seeing this, Qian Xunji inwardly sighed that it was bad.

His seventh spirit ring lit up, and his Angel True Body appeared, colliding his Angel Palm with Chi Wang's giant paw.

The next moment.

Qian Xunji was sent flying backward like a kite, and Yun Yuan beside him was also blasted away from him by the aftermath of the Soul Power collision, falling toward the forest below.

"Xiao Yuan!"

Gazing in Yun Yuan's direction, Qian Xunji wanted to move to search for him, but Chi Wang not far away struck again, swinging his giant paw carrying the fire of Hell toward Qian Xunji, intending to annihilate him right here.

"Damn it!"

After fiercely cursing Chi Wang, Qian Xunji had no choice but to first use all his Soul Power to defend against Chi Wang's attack, and then figure out a way to look for Xiao Yuan.

On the other side.

After being blasted away, Yun Yuan was not worried; possessing the external Spirit Bone Wind and Thunder Wings, he could land safely.

Immediately afterward, with a thought in his mind, a pair of purple-blue wings appeared on his back.

Flapping his wings, Yun Yuan slowly descended toward the forest below.

But not long after landing, he felt a soul-stirring gaze staring at him.

He hurriedly observed his surroundings and spotted that familiar Spirit Beast not far away—the Emperor Auspicious Beast, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion!

"Human brat, to actually run into you again, what a coincidence. This time, let's see how you escape."

As her voice fell, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion looked at Yun Yuan with an expression of great interest, as if Yun Yuan was already a turtle in a jar.

Looking at the Three-Eyed Golden Lion before him, Yun Yuan gave a bitter smile.

His luck was truly terrible; how did he happen to land right near the Three-Eyed Golden Lion?

The current Three-Eyed Golden Lion had a cultivation of around 5,000 years, but a 5,000-year Emperor Auspicious Beast was sufficient to rival a Spirit Beast of tens of thousands of years, completely beyond what he, Yun Yuan, could contend with.

But being unable to beat her didn't mean he couldn't run away.

Yun Yuan immediately summoned his Spirit, the qingtian spear, and a yellow spirit ring hovered around his body.

Seeing the spirit ring on Yun Yuan's body, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion let out a soft snort, her gaze toward Yun Yuan becoming even more contemptuous.

A 1-ring Spirit Master—this human brat was so frail and pathetic, wouldn't she just be able to toy with him at will?

But Yun Yuan's preparations were not yet over.

He let out a sharp cry:

"Domain Expansion!"

As Yun Yuan's voice fell, a Domain centered around Qingtian expanded, and a blinding golden light instantly enveloped the surroundings.

This was the Innate Domain of his qingtian spear—the Air-Forbidden Domain!

Next, Yun Yuan's qingtian spear emitted a rock-solid Heaven-Supporting Intent, pointing directly at the Three-Eyed Golden Lion.

His expression was extremely solemn, giving off a strong sense that he was going to fight the Three-Eyed Golden Lion to the death.

Seeing this, although the Three-Eyed Golden Lion did not believe in her heart that Yun Yuan could injure her, she still couldn't help becoming a little more cautious.

The next moment.

Yun Yuan circulated the Soul Power throughout his body, and his first spirit ring lit up.

Wind and Lightning Flash attached itself to his qingtian spear, the Innate Domain continuously suppressed the Three-Eyed Golden Lion's movements, and the Heaven-Supporting Intent appeared on the spear blade.

Waving the long spear in his hand, he emitted a dazzling incandescent light and thrust toward the Three-Eyed Golden Lion.

Seeing that Yun Yuan's attack already posed a trace of a threat to her, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion circulated her own Soul Power, forming a golden Soul Power protective shield to begin defense.

The qingtian spear collided with the Soul Power protective shield.

Using a unique spear force, Yun Yuan converted the power of the collision into a recoil force, helping him quickly escape from this place.

After a single strike, when the Three-Eyed Golden Lion looked ahead again, she found that Yun Yuan's figure had long since vanished without a trace.

After a long while, her voice slowly drifted out:

"Was I just played?"
