66: Sky-Tearing Claw

Suddenly, the nearby giant trees lashed out with vines, densely sealing off the path and forming a massive cage that began to shrink bit by bit.

"Nana, Yan Yan, Yueer, get close to me!"

Su Wen also sensed that something was wrong; what was trapping them was definitely no ordinary Spirit Beast.

To approach so silently and even knock away a Spirit Saint, it had to be at least an existence of over eighty thousand years.

"Boss, what's going on? Is it a plant-type Spirit Beast?"

"Yeah, watch your footing."

Just as Su Wen and the others huddled together, Yu Tianxin, Lei Mie, and Lei Dong also hurriedly ran to Lei Miesheng's side.

Yu Tianxin was even more anxious; spirit rings were no longer important at a time like this. If their teacher died here, not only would they be unable to save their companions, but the three of them wouldn't be able to leave the Star Dou Great Forest either.

"Teacher, Teacher, we can't lose you!"

"Stop shaking him. Teacher is still breathing; if you keep shaking him like that, you'll shake him to death."

Right then, several vines suddenly lashed out toward Su Wen and his group, their speed so fast they were hard to distinguish, even carrying the sound of breaking air.

Su Wen's expression changed slightly as he quickly pulled out a red oil-paper umbrella, preparing to open it and withstand the blow head-on.

At that moment, a cluster of flames landed around them, quickly forming a ring of fire. Upon contact, those vines immediately erupted into a raging blaze, turning to ash in an instant.

Ye Yuaner landed beside Su Wen, her Super Douluo aura fully unleashed.

A Fire Phoenix circled high in the sky, letting out a resonant Phoenix cry. The flames it spat out formed a high-temperature sea of fire nearby, with the raging inferno burning the trees.

"I was careless and didn't dodge!"

"A Ti... Titled Douluo."

Lei Miesheng's face twitched. Having just been revived by the others, he endured the pain to climb up, intending to find the Spirit Beast that had sent him flying for revenge, only to see the nine spirit rings on Ye Yuaner.

Especially the ninth spirit ring, which shimmered with a blood-red light.

The sense of oppression was overwhelming.

A bit of cold sweat broke out on Lei Miesheng's forehead. The person backing the other party was indeed a Titled Douluo, with an aura even stronger than his own Clan Chief's.

"Go!"

Ye Yuaner paid them no mind.

She could feel a powerful presence nearby.

An intense sense of mortal danger was close at hand.

She grabbed the three of them and leaped onto her Martial Soul.

The Fire Phoenix carried them as it flew forward, spitting out terrifying flames that completely incinerated the vines blocking their path.

"Quick, leave!"

Snapping out of his shock, Lei Miesheng also realized something was wrong.

Even a Titled Douluo was fleeing.

Whatever was attacking them was definitely a Hundred Thousand Year Spirit Beast.

"Teacher... Lei Tian..."

Yu Tianxin, Lei Dong, and Lei Mie watched on, both shocked and panicked.

"You guys go first. These incinerated vines are starting to converge again; if you don't leave now, you'll be trapped here... As for Lei Tian, I will naturally save him."

After sending the three away, Lei Miesheng looked toward where Lei Tian had been dragged off. Densely packed vines were entwined there, almost forming an abyss.

"Seventh Spirit Skill, Martial Soul True Body!"

Lei Miesheng endured the pain and discomfort in his body.

He did not hesitate.

His body transformed into a Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon, letting out a draconic roar from its mouth.

The powerful sound waves were accompanied by bursts of lightning.

"Show yourself, beast! Give me back my Disciple!"

"Sixth Spirit Skill, Overbearing Thunder!"

The moment Lei Miesheng opened his draconic maw, it was as if Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi were frantically converging.

Almost instantly, a ball of lightning formed in his mouth.

The moment he spat it out...

Countless bolts of lightning flickered from the light orb with crackling explosions, frantically attacking the surrounding vines.

Suddenly, a large number of leaves drifted down from the giant trees, converging in the air before spinning rapidly. In just a single breath, they formed a storm.

The powerful storm made the trees sway, and stones on the ground were swept up, merging into the vortex.

The storm collided with the lightning orb and was swept up by the vortex, eventually coming to a halt at the center. The storm, which originally only generated massive gales, was now also covered in a layer of lightning.

"How is this possible?"

Lei Miesheng's eyes were filled with disbelief; his Sixth Spirit Skill had been dismantled so easily.

It was even being utilized by the opponent.

Watching the storm and lightning charge toward him with terrifying power...

Lei Miesheng wanted to flee, but after glancing in Lei Tian's direction, he ultimately did not leave immediately. He had to confirm whether Lei Tian was dead or not.

"Damned beast, I'll fight you to the end!"

Lei Miesheng let out an angry roar, using his Martial Soul True Body state to withstand the lightning storm.

At the moment of impact, Lei Miesheng felt a strangling storm begin to hack at his body. The violent force tore at his frame, making him unable to hold back cries of agony.

The next moment.

He could no longer maintain his Martial Soul True Body.

With his true body broken, Lei Miesheng's Physical Body was instantly torn to shreds by the storm.

The last thing he saw before he died was a giant tree transforming into a middle-aged man.

The Ten Thousand Demon King gave a faint glance at the spot where Lei Miesheng had been reduced to ashes.

Then, he turned his gaze toward the direction Ye Yuaner had fled: "That human Spirit Master's flames are actually not weaker than that fellow Scarlet King's. Truly strange; when did humans become this strong?"

The next moment, his figure vanished as he pursued his target.

As long as they were in the forest, no matter where they ran...

He, the Ten Thousand Demon King, was confident he could find them in the shortest amount of time... On the other side.

The battle between Bear Lord and Gold Crocodile Douluo had also reached a fever pitch.

Gold Crocodile Douluo was being suppressed at every turn, with wounds of various sizes already covering his body.

The gold-robed, silver-embroidered garment he wore was no longer noble; while tattered, it was also stained with spots of blood.

Gold Crocodile Douluo completely cast aside his pride.

He had never imagined that a Spirit Beast could be so powerful, nearly driving him into a corner.

"Yueer!"

Gold Crocodile Douluo sensed a powerful surge of Soul Power from Tian Yue's location.

He knew that he wasn't the only Vicious Beast like this in the forest.

"Death Roll!"

The massive golden crocodile instantly bit down on Bear Lord and spun rapidly. Bear Lord's massive body was forced to rotate along with it, as dark-gold fur flew everywhere.

Bear Lord could not help but let out a roar of pain.

With a final strike, he was sent flying, Bear Lord's body crashing through dozens of giant trees before finally coming to a stop.

The ninth spirit ring on Gold Crocodile Douluo's body quickly lit up.

"Ninth Spirit Ability!"

Gold Crocodile Douluo could wait no longer; he had to end this quickly.

He needed to personally ensure Tian Yue's safety.

As the power of the blood-red spirit ring was infused, the aura on Gold Crocodile Douluo's body suddenly surged.

The giant crocodile opened its mouth and spat out a golden-yellow beam of light.

Wherever the light beam passed, it carried an extremely powerful destructive force.

"Sky-Rending Claw!"

Bear Lord was also completely enraged. The moment he climbed back up, he swung his strongest attack without hesitation.

A bear claw that blotted out the sky appeared, carrying dark-gold energy fluctuations and emitting a violent aura.

Everywhere it passed, ripples were created in space.
