Douluo's Soul Power increases by two levels every year

Chapter 49 Cero Reappears

Tang San sat cross-legged in front of Han Feng, his face occasionally flashing with pain, but his breathing was steady, so Han Feng was not worried.

Just to be on the safe side, Han Feng also used a concealment shield to cover up his and Tang San's auras to avoid being discovered by passing soul beasts—although the possibility of this was very small, if it really happened, any soul beast that dared to set foot in the territory of the Human-Faced Demon Spider must be quite powerful!

You should know that in the original story, when Tang San finished absorbing the spirit ring, the first thing he saw when he opened his eyes was Zhao Wuji. Who knows if Zhao Wuji helped Tang San defeat any spirit beasts?

A full hour passed, and there was no sign of improvement on Tang San's side, but Han Feng's side encountered a problem!

"Shh..."

The jungle around the human-faced spider corpse suddenly rustled, and Han Feng's eyes narrowed sharply as he saw a gigantic creature, no smaller than the human-faced spider, emerge from it.

The colossal creature resembled an ox. Its massive horns nudged the human-faced spider, and finding it lifeless, it let out a heavy growl: "Moo!"

At this moment, Han Feng sensed a powerful fluctuation of soul power emanating from it, clearly indicating that it was a thousand-year-old soul beast!

Under the moonlight, the colossal creature emerged from the jungle, its massive body covered in scales, its beastly eyes glowing red, as if celebrating the death of the human-faced spider.

Han Feng didn't have a master as his mentor and didn't recognize this soul beast, but judging from its appearance alone, this soul beast was probably no less than the Human-Faced Demon Spider, and even surpassed it in strength and defense!

Protected by the concealment shield, the soul beast did not discover Han Feng and Tang San. Han Feng did not act rashly. Before knowing the strength of the soul beast, he did not want to risk his life.

Han Feng had only three thoughts at that moment: First, Tang San must not make a sound; second, this soul beast must not stand still; and third, this soul beast must not move!

He and Tang San were only a few meters away from the corpse of the Human-Faced Demon Spider!

"Moo!"

"Click! Click click click!"

Next, Han Feng witnessed a scene that made him feel nauseous.

The thousand-year-old soul beast of unknown origin suddenly opened its blood-red maw and bit down on the human-faced demon spider!

Han Feng didn't know if the Human-Faced Demon Spider and this soul beast had a predator-prey relationship, or if they had some kind of grudge, but the sight of it eating raw meat and drinking blood was truly unacceptable to him.

The venomous blood of the human-faced demon spider splattered in front of Han Feng, and the stench made his stomach churn. Large chunks of flesh were torn off, and the brutal actions of the soul beast were simply nauseating!

If Han Feng hadn't been so resolute, he probably would have revealed his weakness just now!

Han Feng dared not close his eyes, and could only force himself to watch this scene, inwardly thinking, "A human-faced spider? Why doesn't it poison you to death?!"

Han Feng's wish was destined to be in vain. The soul beast took a full incense stick's time to swallow the entire human-faced demon spider, yet it showed no adverse reactions and instead revealed a satisfied expression.

"Finish your meal and leave quickly!"

Han Feng could only hope that the soul beast would leave, but this time, his hopes were dashed.

After the soul beast finished eating the human-faced demon spider, it swayed and lay down, showing no sign of wanting to leave.

"Tsk!" Han Feng was dissatisfied with the soul beast's behavior of sleeping after eating its fill, but he did not expect the soul beast to leave.

Judging from the appearance of the soul beast, it clearly considers the territory of the human-faced demon spider as its own!

Thinking about this, Han Feng clicked his tongue and became conflicted.

No matter what he does, Han Feng is bound to confront this soul beast. He can't just sit here and wait to die. Although the Concealment Shield consumes less soul power, it can't last until Tang San finishes absorbing the soul ring. In the original story, it was already broad daylight when Tang San finished absorbing the soul ring!

Han Feng now has two choices: either wait for Zhao Wuji and the others, or if Zhao Wuji and the others can find them before his soul power is exhausted, all the problems will naturally be solved.

Han Feng was confident that he could escape if he showed himself now and fought the soul beast, even though he didn't know much about it. However, if he failed, Tang San would likely face a near-death experience.

In the end, Han Feng chose the former, but he wouldn't just stand there waiting. If Zhao Wuji and the others hadn't arrived after an hour, Han Feng would have no choice but to fight the soul beast!

If Zhao Wuji and the others still haven't found Han Feng and Tang San after an hour, and if the soul beast discovers Tang San and Han Feng, Han Feng won't even have enough soul power to fight back!

The waiting time seemed both exceptionally long and extremely short; it felt like an hour had passed in the blink of an eye, yet Zhao Wuji and the others were still nowhere to be seen.

Han Feng frowned, cursing inwardly, "In the original story, didn't they find Tang San very quickly?!"

Han Feng never imagined that Zhao Wuji and the others had followed Tang San's soul power fluctuations to find them. Now that Han Feng had used the Concealment Shield to hide his and Tang San's auras, Zhao Wuji and the others were like headless flies. How could they find them?

Feeling the soul power within his body, Han Feng frowned: "So be it! Tang San, despite being severely injured, was able to single-handedly kill the Human-Faced Demon Spider. For me, Han Feng, to single-handedly kill the Human-Faced Demon Spider's nemesis is no problem!"

"I wonder what Qianqian was thinking back then that made her willing to help me stop the lazy giant ape that had been around for ten thousand years? This feeling of fighting for someone else..."

Han Feng muttered to himself as he crept up to Tang San, using a concealment shield to protect Tang San while exposing himself to the bull-headed spirit beast.

"Moo!?"

Han Feng did not make a move immediately. Although it is said that the first strike is the best policy, what if this soul beast is the kind that looks fierce but will not attack humans on its own initiative?

Even assuming the worst... Han Feng's soul skills that allow him to "strike first" are all his trump cards!

With this thought in mind, Han Feng tried his best to suppress his hostility and slowly retreated into the distance. However, the soul beast let out a low growl of surprise and suddenly stood up, staring at Han Feng warily with a murderous aura in its eyes!

Han Feng immediately stopped and stood still. The soul beast began to circle around Han Feng and scrutinize him. Han Feng did not show any fear, staring intently at the huge beast eyes, trying his best to hide his hostility.

"Moo!"

"Tsk! I'm an idiot!"

After only a couple of glances, the soul beast's eyes flashed red, and it charged directly at Han Feng, its pair of bull horns seemingly carrying immense force!

Han Feng cursed under his breath. The Shield of Blazing Sky appeared, and the Guard of Life was activated instantly. It was as if Han Feng's legs were rooted to the ground, and he finally blocked the attack!

To Han Feng's surprise, this soul beast was even stronger than Dai Mubai's full-force attack under his third soul skill. If it weren't for the special effect of Fate's Protection, he probably wouldn't have been able to withstand it!

Han Feng blocked the attack, and the soul beast seemed somewhat surprised. However, Han Feng did not give it a chance to react. Wanting to finish the battle quickly, Han Feng directly unleashed his strongest combat power at this moment!

"Flame Dragon Armor! Possess!"

"Etherealization!"

Han Feng shouted twice in a very childish way, and the pure soul power in his body was released. His whole body was covered with flame armor, and a bone bull's head mask appeared on Han Feng's face. The bull's horns covered with flames looked even more terrifying than the horns of the soul beast!

Seeing the sudden change in the human's demeanor, the soul beast was startled again, as if it couldn't understand how the human had suddenly become as ferocious as a soul beast.

Han Feng did not hesitate. Knowing that he could not hold out for long in his ethereal state, he made a decisive move and rushed to the soul beast. He used the same trick again, charging up his shield strike to send the soul beast flying. When the soul beast could not get any leverage in the air, a dark red ball of light gathered between his bone horns and shot out instantly!

Wang Xu's brilliance!

After many years, Han Feng used Cero again, but it was no longer the same as before!

The seemingly formidable spirit beast was unable to react in time, could not draw upon any strength, and failed to use its spirit skill, so it was directly pierced by Han Feng!

Meanwhile, in a grove of bushes not far from Han Feng, Zhao Wuji suddenly raised his head, staring at the dark red light shooting into the sky, and whispered sharply, "Go! I've found that kid Han Feng!"
