"Roar—!" The roar of the bear king echoed through the forest, making people's eardrums ache.

Each swing of the enormous bear paw carried a terrifying force that tore through the air.

The Taotie Divine Ox, created by Xuan Lao, appeared somewhat unsteady under Xiong Jun's ferocious attack.

The nine spirit rings behind him flickered, struggling to maintain the spirit power barrier in front of him.

If it weren't for the fact that he had to spare some attention to protect Zhou Xuan behind him, which made him feel somewhat constrained, he would have been fine.

Otherwise, the fight wouldn't have been so difficult.

"Lord Xiong! Listen to me! This matter was absolutely not done by us! Although we are on different sides, you know my character. No matter what happened, it could never have been done by me!"

While fending off Xiong Jun's attacks, Elder Xuan tried to negotiate with it.

Xiong Jun stared intently at Elder Xuan with his blood-red eyes, roaring and becoming increasingly ferocious, showing no intention of negotiating with Elder Xuan.

It may have been a bit reckless at first, but it had hundreds of thousands of years of cultivation. Although its feelings for its clan were deeper than those of other ferocious beasts, it wasn't so stupid as to not see through the conspiracy.

However, having been cooped up in the Star Dou Forest for so long, and finally encountering someone of equal strength, how could he, as a battle maniac, possibly let this opportunity pass?
However, neither Zhou Xuan nor Elder Xuan knew the answer.

Zhou Xuan stood behind Elder Xuan's soul power shield, his expression extremely solemn.

He quickly analyzed the situation before him, various thoughts flashing through his mind.

"Elder Xuan, this Bear King seems convinced that we were the ones who did it, so words probably won't work. Its aura must have been guided by some special method."

Elder Xuan gritted his teeth, narrowly avoiding Xiong Jun's sharp claws once again. The dark golden claws grazed his sleeve, leaving several deep gashes. "This beast is completely blinded by rage. We must find a way to get rid of it!"

It's easier said than done. Xiong Jun's speed and strength far surpass those of a 100,000-year-old soul beast of the same level. Xuan Lao is already at his limit in his current state, let alone being able to escape with the two of them.

"Boom—!" Another earth-shattering collision occurred, and the soul power barrier in front of Elder Xuan rippled violently, its color dimming slightly. He felt a surge of blood and qi in his chest, and a trace of blood spilled from the corner of his mouth.

Just as Xiong Jun was gathering his strength again, preparing to launch an even more ferocious attack, a barely perceptible black shadow appeared silently behind Zhou Xuan, like a ghost.

The appearance of this dark figure was extremely abrupt, as if it had emerged from the void. It did not cause any fluctuations in soul power, and even powerful figures like Elder Xuan and Xiong Jun, who were focused on their battle, failed to notice it immediately.

The shadowy figure held a pitch-black dagger in its hand. The dagger had no light on it, but it exuded a chilling killing intent that sent shivers down one's spine.

His target was crystal clear: Zhou Xuan! He had been lying in wait for this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!

With Elder Xuan entangled by Xiong Jun and Uncle Wang beside Zhou Xuan being no threat, it was the perfect opportunity for Zhou Xuan to deliver a fatal blow!
Although Zhou Xuan had his back to the dark figure, his extraordinary mental strength allowed him to sense it.

He almost instinctively tried to dodge to the side, but his opponent was, after all, a Title Douluo, and a Title Douluo who focused on assassination. He was extremely fast and the distance was too close. The sharp edge of the dagger had almost touched his clothes!

Wang Bo also noticed something was wrong. His pupils contracted sharply, and he turned around desperately to help, but the difference in distance and speed meant he could only watch helplessly as the deadly dagger pierced Zhou Xuan.

"No!"

Elder Xuan's eyes were also bloodshot. He wanted to go back to help, but he was held tightly by Xiong Jun. The huge bear paw slammed down with immense force, forcing him to defend with all his might.

"How dare you, little thief!"

Elder Xuan no longer cared and withdrew all the soul power that had been protecting Zhou Xuan's soul guide shield.

At this point, that little bit of shield is no longer of any use.

He unleashed his full power of soul energy, furiously charging towards Xiong Jun.

"Faster! Faster!"

Elder Xuan's eyes were bloodshot as he tried to save Zhou Xuan, but he was powerless to do so.

This feeling made him feel desperate.

At that critical moment between life and death, an indescribable, terrifying pressure suddenly descended like the Milky Way pouring down from the heavens!

"Bear King, stop fooling around!"

The voice was extremely calm, yet it carried an irresistible will.

The once ferocious and maddened Xiong Jun suddenly stiffened upon hearing this voice.

"Boss."

Di Tian's lips twitched, and he almost couldn't hold back.

He secretly transmitted his voice, saying, "How many times have I told you, you must call me Lord Di Tian when you're outside!"

Xiong Jun's eyes instantly cleared: "Okay, boss!"

At the same time, the sudden, terrifying pressure, like an invisible giant hand, instantly gripped everyone's throats.

Just as Elder Xuan was about to fight to the death, his figure froze on the spot, and the Taotie Divine Ox he had transformed into let out a low moan, and he even seemed to want to crawl down uncontrollably.

There was absolutely no room for resistance against God, the Heavenly Emperor, or the 98th-level Xuan Lao.

The look of horror on his face was beyond words; it was an instinctive reaction to being absolutely crushed by a higher level of life.

"This...this is..."

Elder Xuan's heart clenched violently. He could clearly sense that the owner of this oppressive aura was far stronger than him.

"Ditian!"

How could he be here? As the number one ferocious beast of the Star Dou Great Forest and the number one ferocious beast of the entire continent, he would never leave the core area unless something major happened.

Wang Bo was deathly pale, his legs trembling uncontrollably. This wasn't because he was afraid, but because his body was reacting instinctively to this level of biological suppression. If it weren't for his will to protect Zhou Xuan, he would probably have collapsed to the ground long ago.

He felt that even breathing had become incredibly difficult under this oppressive force.

Although Zhou Xuan's body was trembling, he wasn't too afraid; he was more curious.

As someone who has traveled from another world, I naturally have a sense of superiority over all living beings, a feeling that has not completely disappeared even after living here for more than a decade.

Therefore, whether facing Electrox or Moon, he did not show the same level of respect as when meeting top-tier experts.

As he pondered, the shadowy figure lurking behind Zhou Xuan, wielding a poisoned dagger and preparing to deliver a fatal blow, froze in mid-air, as if under a spell, maintaining its forward thrusting posture.

He couldn't even move his eyes; he could only feel an irresistible force completely imprisoning him.

He had a feeling: if he moved, he would die!

A tall and slender figure appeared silently behind Zhou Xuan. The man was dressed in a black robe, with a handsome face and deep eyes like the starry sky.

He didn't even glance at the assassin who was frozen in mid-air. At that moment, the blonde girl next to Di Tian tugged at his sleeve.

Don't let Zhou Xuan be frightened by such a powerful aura.

Di Tian's face stiffened. Why did he feel like his own cabbage was about to be eaten by a pig?
We haven't even started talking yet, and you're already siding with outsiders?
However, he still withdrew the oppressive aura emanating from him.

Both Elder Xuan and Uncle Wang immediately felt a sense of relief and gasped for breath.

The assassin was finally able to speak: "You..."

What kind of monster is this? !
He had never heard of such a terrifying existence in the human world!

This kind of power is probably not even comparable to that of a Limit Douluo, right?
The assassin froze in mid-air, the poisoned dagger only inches from Zhou Xuan's back.

"Just a little bit closer!"

As long as he could kill Zhou Xuan, he would have no regrets even if he died. But even with all his strength, he couldn't move the dagger forward an inch.

"Who...who are you?!" The assassin's voice was dry and hoarse, trembling without him even realizing it.

Di Tian didn't even glance at him. Although the other party was a Title Douluo, in his eyes, he was just a slightly larger ant.

"Your Excellency..." the assassin wanted to say something more.

“Shut up.” Di Tian finally spoke, his voice flat and devoid of any emotional fluctuation.

He didn't even make any extra movements; he simply raised his hand casually and made a fist towards the assassin.

"Click——"

A shattering sound was heard.

The assassin, who was trapped in mid-air, along with the black dagger in his hand, suddenly seemed to lose all support, turning into dust that fell to the ground and then completely dissipated into the air, as if he had never existed.

There were no screams, no struggles, not even a violent fluctuation of energy.

An assassin who was at least a Title Douluo level was wiped out just like that.

It was a brief mention, leaving nothing behind.

Elder Xuan's pupils constricted sharply; he was too powerful!
He had never felt this kind of power even from Elder Mu.

He originally thought that his cultivation level of 98 was already top-tier on the continent, but in front of this man in black robes, he felt as insignificant as an ant.

Xiong Jun's large head was lowered. At this point, there was nothing more for him to do in this place, so he could only watch quietly from the side.

Zhou Xuan didn't know whether he should laugh or cry.

Good news: The assassin is dead.

Bad news: Something even more formidable has arrived.

He looked at the spot where the assassin had disappeared, then at Di Tian, ​​his heart filled with mixed emotions.

Before meeting Di Tian, ​​he had many fantasies.

But when he actually saw it, he had only one feeling—like a mayfly seeing the blue sky!

If Di Tian is this strong, then Tang San, who has already become a god...
Did I underestimate him a bit before?

It seems I've been too influenced by the words from my past life. No matter what's written in the book, this is reality, and Tang San represents the pinnacle of this world.

At this moment, Zhou Xuan's mindset underwent a change.

He soon noticed the blonde girl next to Di Tian.

The moment Zhou Xuan saw her, his heart was filled with shock; he had never been so surprised, not even when he met Di Tian.

This person looks exactly like Jiang Nannan.

It almost burned out Zhou Xuan's CPU.

Who is this? Where is this?

After doing all this, Di Tian slowly turned around, his gaze finally landing on Zhou Xuan.

"Human," Di Tian spoke, his voice still calm, "I am Di Tian."

Zhou Xuan felt that the simple self-introduction was quite unusual.

After all, who has ever heard of an existence of Di Tian's caliber taking the initiative to introduce himself to a human, even if that introduction consists of only two words?

Zhou Xuan took a deep breath: "My name is Zhou Xuan."

Di Tian looked at Zhou Xuan's hand hidden behind his back, and the aura emanating from it felt very familiar to him.

However, he didn't say anything. Although the aura was powerful, it posed no threat to him.

"Human, you're not bad," Di Tian said calmly. "Come with me."

"Don't think about it!"

Elder Xuan roared, unleashing his level 98 soul power without reservation. The phantom of the Gluttonous Divine Ox solidified once more, letting out a deafening roar!

Zhou Xuan is his bottom line!
Uncle Wang, who was standing to the side, also forcibly possessed his martial spirit.

For a Soul Douluo to forcibly possess a Martial Soul under such circumstances is definitely not a simple matter. Even Di Tian looked at him with some surprise.

Although they themselves knew that they were no match for Di Tian.

However, Zhou Xuan absolutely cannot be taken away.

Even death!
"Di Tian! I know you are strong! But if you want to take Zhou Xuan away, you'll have to step over my dead body first!" Xuan Lao's voice was hoarse.

Wang Bo gritted his teeth and pushed his soul power to its limit. Although his power was insignificant in front of Di Tian, ​​he did not retreat an inch and stood in front of Zhou Xuan.

Xiong Jun watched from the side, his eyelids twitching, thinking to himself that this old guy was really courting death.

Even though they were of the same race, he didn't dare to speak to Di Tian like that.

Di Tian raised an eyebrow almost imperceptibly.

He wasn't angry; it's only human nature. The other party was from Shrek Academy, and if he really killed him, the old man might actually come after him. Even if it were him, he might not necessarily gain much benefit.

"Elder Xuan, wait!" Zhou Xuan's voice suddenly rang out.

Elder Xuan was taken aback, then turned to look at Zhou Xuan. "Zhou Xuan, you..."

"Elder Xuan, Uncle Wang, you should go back first." Zhou Xuan said calmly, then looked at Di Tian: "Is that alright?"

Di Tian glanced at him indifferently: "Alright."

Since this is someone the auspicious beast values, he doesn't mind giving them face.

"But..." Elder Xuan wanted to say something more.

Zhou Xuan shook his head, turned his gaze to Di Tian, ​​and met those deep black eyes.

“Senior Emperor Tian,” Zhou Xuan bowed slightly, “I feel that you seem to have no ill intentions.”

Elder Xuan exclaimed anxiously, "Zhou Xuan! You're confused! He is Di Tian! The ruler of the Star Dou Great Forest! If he wants to take you away, it can't be anything good!"

He was afraid that Zhou Xuan, being young, would be misled by Di Tian's seemingly calm attitude.

He had seen the true form of Emperor Tian, ​​and that appearance was unforgettable for him.

Zhou Xuan shook his head again, a faint smile on his face: "Elder Xuan, trust my intuition, there's no need for such a fearless sacrifice."

Then he looked at Uncle Wang and said, "Uncle Wang, you should go back too. I'll be back."

Although there was some reluctance in Wang Bo's eyes, he still nodded and withdrew his martial spirit.

Di Tian's gaze lingered on Zhou Xuan for a moment, his voice remaining calm: "You are quite interesting." (End of Chapter)
