Douluo Amon: I am the Heavenly Venerable of the Dragon King.

Chapter 49 Bitter Struggle and Retreat

Seeing the Millennium Crystal Bear rushing towards Tang Wulin, Nan Fusheng used Steal on it.

The Millennium Crystal Bear paused for a moment, but still charged towards Tang Wulin with great momentum. However, this kind of straight collision was easy to see through, and Tang Wulin easily dodged it by leaping to the side.

At the same time, countless blue silver grass vines surged out, wrapping around the feet of the Millennium Crystal Bear, causing the dazed bear to trip over.

"Pfft!" Just then, an invisible blade of light slashed fiercely at its neck. The crystal bear snapped out of its daze in pain and turned its head to roar at Xie Xie, who was standing to the side.

Xie Xie shouted, "You stupid bear, come on if you dare!" He slashed out with the Light Dragon Dagger again, and another blade of light flew out.

The Millennium Crystal Bear subconsciously exerted its strength, trying to break the Blue Silver Grass on its feet. Under normal circumstances, the Blue Silver Grass should have been broken directly.

Just then, a golden light shone on Tang Wulin's Blue Silver Grass. Although it only lasted for a moment, the Thousand-Year Crystal Bear was unable to break it immediately.

The pause lasted only a second. The next instant, the Blue Silver Grass still broke apart, but it still managed to hold onto it slightly.

As soon as the crystal bear slowed down, Xie Xie nimbly turned and ran. His speed exploded, making him even faster than Gu Yue, who had used the wind element to accelerate.

At the same time, a huge fireball exploded on the other side of the crystal bear's head. Gu Yue also attacked from the other side.

The three people, each in a different direction, immediately enraged Crystal Bear, who was now unsure which one to chase.

"Xie Xie, attack its abdomen. Gu Yue, aim for its eyes. Wu Lin, get ready, let's finish it off in one go."

Standing at a distance, Nan Fusheng spoke loudly. He wasn't afraid that the Crystal Bear would hear him, since most thousand-year-old soul beasts still had the intelligence of wild animals.

As Xie Xie shifted his position, he simultaneously unleashed the Light Dragon Dagger and the Shadow Dragon Dagger, sending two blades of light, one tangible and one intangible, slashing towards the belly of the Millennium Crystal Bear.

With two loud "pffts," the crystal bear flew into a rage, unsure of who to deal with first. Now, it had found its target.

He immediately strode after Xie Xie.

Just then, a multitude of dazzling fireballs shot straight towards its eyes. The fireballs were smaller than the previous ones, but there were many of them.

The crystal bear raised one paw to block in front of it, while lowering its head slightly. It had already lowered its head a bit when its abdomen was attacked earlier, but now it lowered it even more.

At the same time, Tang Wulin flicked out a Blue Silver Grass, hooked it onto a tree branch, and pulled his body, swinging away as he circled behind the Crystal Bear.

At this moment, Tang Wulin held his left hand in front of his chest with a hammer, while his right hand surged with golden light, transforming into a golden dragon claw that went straight for the back of the millennium crystal bear's neck.

Nan Fusheng also used the technique directly from a distance, stealing.

Instantly, the Millennium Crystal Bear's body fell completely forward, exposing the back of its neck.

Success!

Tang Wulin was overjoyed and his right paw fell down, grabbing the back of the Millennium Crystal Bear's neck without hesitation.

The "crackling" sound rang out almost instantly. Half of the Golden Dragon Claw's claw pierced the neck, and at the same time, the crushing effect took effect, directly snapping the Millennium Crystal Bear's cervical vertebrae.

ended?

Xie Xie watched as the Millennium Crystal Bear's head suddenly lurched forward, accompanied by the cracking sound of its neck breaking. He jumped up excitedly.

With their strongest level being only two rings, the fact that they were able to kill such a powerful soul beast is something to be proud of.

However, at that moment, a strong yellow halo suddenly erupted from the Millennium Crystal Bear.

The area covered by this halo was not large, only about one meter away from his body, but it just happened to envelop Tang Wulin.

"No—!" Gu Yue screamed. Tang Wulin's body, which was covered in yellow light, was instantly covered with a layer of dark yellow crystals, and he remained in his previous state. He fell directly towards the ground.

With a flash of silver light, Gu Yue appeared below where he had fallen, raising her arms to catch his body.

After turning into crystal, Tang Wulin's weight increased significantly. Moreover, he still had the weight of the Thousand-Refined Silver Hammer in his left hand.

Gu Yue was knocked to the ground by the impact, falling unconscious with a muffled groan. However, she managed to withstand the force of Tang Wulin's slam, preventing his body from shattering.

Once crystallized, the crystallization will gradually fade as long as the body doesn't shatter within a short period. Therefore, the most terrifying aspect of the Crystal Bear lies in its direct destruction after crystallization.

"Wu Lin, Gu Yue!" Xie Xie and Nan Fusheng rushed over from a distance and ran to the two of them. They first worked together to move Tang Wu Lin aside and then pulled Gu Yue out from below.

Gu Yue's eyes were tightly closed, her face was ashen, and her breath was weak. The blow had clearly caused her great harm.

Nan Fusheng looked around, hesitated for a moment, and then struck the rescue signal device on the back of Gu Yue's hand with his palm. Gu Yue's body turned into a beam of light and disappeared into thin air.

Tang Wulin's body is still in a crystalline state, so they can't teleport him back.

Just then, a series of rustling sounds came from the surrounding woods, as if something was approaching them, and there were a lot of them.

What should I do? Wu Lin has been crystallized and can't be teleported back now. What should I do?

Xie Xie gripped the Light Dragon Dagger and Shadow Dragon Dagger tightly in both hands, and subconsciously looked at Nan Fusheng beside him.

"Xie Xie, your soul power is almost exhausted. You should go first. I'll keep an eye on Wu Lin's side."

Nan Fusheng said.

"Ha, what are you talking about? How could I let you be the hero alone in this situation? We'll die together. I'm a real man, standing tall and upright."

Xie Xie initially looked somewhat bewildered, but after hearing Nan Fusheng's words, his eyes gradually hardened.

"Alright, let's get through this period together. As soon as Wu Lin's crystallization is lifted, we'll retreat immediately."

Xie Xie knelt on one knee in front of Tang Wulin without replying. He wanted to conserve his energy as much as possible. At the same time, Nan Fusheng used the view of the large blue bird hovering in the sky to see clearly that the attackers were a pack of wolves.

Soon, dark blue figures slowly appeared from all directions, at least dozens of them, and they were all blue wolves.

Its back fur was bluish-black, and its yellow eyes were filled with a cold and cruel light as it slowly approached.

They didn't attack Nan Fusheng first; a dozen or so blue wolves dragged the half-dead, century-old unicorn dragon's carcass into the woods. Another dozen or so surrounded Xie Xie.

The Azure Wolf is a ten-year-old soul beast. Among ten-year-old soul beasts, it is considered to have relatively strong attack power, a fierce personality, and lives in packs.

The powerful blue wolves can cultivate to the level of a hundred-year-old soul beast. They mainly feed on carrion, which means they are basically scavengers in the soul beast forest.

Xie Xie gripped the Light Dragon Dagger and Shadow Dragon Dagger in his hands, protecting himself as the blue wolves approached. He shouted, "You can take the corpse of this crystal bear, but if you dare to attack us, don't blame me for being impolite."

He didn't care whether a low-level soul beast like the Azure Wolf could understand him. He just wanted to buy some time, and once the crystallization on Tang Wulin's body subsided, they could escape.

However, the blue wolves were clearly more interested in the two of them than in the Millennium Crystal Bear. Either they couldn't understand him, or they couldn't understand him. The encirclement was getting closer. Looking into those cold eyes, Xie Xie clearly felt his heart beating faster.

We can't wait any longer. As the saying goes, the early bird catches the worm.

With lightning speed, Xie Xie slashed out with his right hand, the Light Dragon Dagger, and a blade of light slashed towards a blue wolf in front of him. At the same time, Xie Xie lunged to the side, pouncing on the blue wolf closest to him.

"Pfft!" The Blue Wolf's neck was slashed open by the Light Dragon Blade. It let out a mournful howl and fell to the ground with blood splattering everywhere.

Xie Xie's movements were exceptionally agile. The giant blue wolf he was about to pounce on immediately opened its mouth and spat out a blue wind blade as soon as it saw him coming.

As Xie Xie charged forward, he tilted his body to avoid the wind blades, then bent his upper body backward to dodge the attack of a blue wolf from his side.

With a swift movement of his Light Dragon Dagger and Shadow Dragon Dagger, the lunging wolf was disemboweled. Simultaneously, he circled around to the wolf's side, flicking his wrist, and the sharp Shadow Dragon Dagger pierced through the wolf's neck, severing its artery. Blood gushed from the wolf's neck; it was clear it was beyond saving.

From the moment the attack began to the instant it succeeded, three blue wolves fell. But at the same time, the attack of more than a dozen blue wolves in the distance was also in the works.

A dozen or so blue wolves pounced on Xie Xiehou at the same time, while wind blades formed in the mouths of a dozen or so blue wolves in the distance, ready to be unleashed.

Widespread consciousness theft!

A strange fluctuation suddenly appeared at the critical moment, controlling the dozen or so blue wolves that were spitting wind blades, causing them to lose consciousness as they launched their wind blades.

Blades of wind shot everywhere, some even striking the green wolves that were preparing to attack Xie Xie, instantly turning the scene into chaos.

Xie Xie was not idle either. Taking advantage of the chaos among the wolves, he immediately flew out and killed the blue wolves that approached the three of them one by one.

As Xie Xie continuously wielded the Light Dragon Dagger and Shadow Dragon Dagger, the number of wolves steadily decreased, prompting Xie Xie to sigh at the benefits of having Nan Fusheng as a teammate.

Whenever he wanted to kill a blue wolf, the wolf he killed would suddenly stop moving before it could act. When Xie Xie rushed in front of it, he only needed to swing his dagger to easily take the life of the blue wolf.

When the wolves swarmed forward, they would suddenly stop, even if only for a short while, giving Xie Xie enough time to react, escape the encirclement, and kill the wolves that approached the three of them.

As time went on, Xie Xie's strength began to wane, and his body became increasingly stained with blood, mostly from the wolves, with only a small portion being his own.

Even Nan Fusheng was starting to get tired—well, tired from acting. Although he was still full of energy, this was clearly not the performance expected of a first-ring Soul Master, so he appeared to be panting heavily.

Given that he can only use this one ability, this is already the limit of what he can do.

Fortunately, he had already noticed Tang Wulin, whose dark yellow crystals were beginning to fade away.

When Tang Wulin's senses began to return, the first thing he smelled was a strong stench of blood.

Then he saw a figure whose entire body had turned blood red, struggling to stay upright.

"Alright, let's retreat quickly."

Xie Xie, who was panting heavily, pressed the distress signal without hesitation when he heard Nan Fusheng's words. The next moment, everything went black and he knew nothing more.

Before Tang Wulin could react, Nan Fusheng pressed his distress signal button.

Then Nan Fusheng also slapped the distress signal device, and just like before, everything went black, and he disappeared into the forest. Strands of cyan wind swept past where he had just been, but lost their target.
