The terrifying roar, mixed with a highly provocative dragon's might, instantly spread to a radius of several miles.

Ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts have a very strong sense of territory, especially in this area, where many large, temperamental creatures reside.

Suddenly provoked by an arrogant and ignorant aura, these already ferocious ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts instantly erupted into chaos.

"Roar--!"

"Awooo—!"

In an instant, roars echoed from the surrounding dense forest.

The earth began to tremble, and more than a dozen powerful auras soared into the sky. Even when faced with the pressure of a Title Douluo, these ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts would briefly go berserk after being provoked.

Chaos descended instantly.

"you……"

Looking at the restless forest around her, Arou instantly understood Xuanhao's intention.

Creating chaos to fish in troubled waters!

In this chaotic situation, Xiao Wu, whose breath was faint and deliberately concealed, was the only one who might escape alive!

"Xiao Wu, listen to what your mother has to say."

Arou suddenly turned around, tears welling in her eyes, and shoved the dazed Xiaowu towards a dense thicket of bushes—a hidden passage leading to the inner circle. "Hold your breath, use the method your mother taught you, and completely conceal your presence. Hide in that tree hollow over there! No matter what happens outside, no matter what sounds you hear, absolutely do not come out! And do not look back!"

"Mom! I don't—"

"obedient!!"

Arou suddenly shoved Xiaowu, and a gentle surge of soul power sent Xiaowu directly into a hidden tree hole dozens of meters away. Then, with a flick of her finger, several thick pieces of bark and vines instantly sealed the entrance to the hole.

After doing all this, the tenderness in Arou's eyes vanished instantly, replaced by a resolute determination as if she were facing death.

She turned around abruptly, unleashing her full soul power, even deliberately pushing the primal aura of the 100,000-year-old soul beast to its limit!

He then grabbed Xuan Hao by the throat and lifted him up in front of him.

"excuse me!"

Arou, carrying Xuanhao, didn't run towards the core area or the outer area. Instead, she headed towards the side, towards the direction where the group of alarmed ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts were most concentrated, which was also a direction slightly farther from Bibi Dong, and rushed at full speed!

"Human! You want my spirit ring? Then come and take it!!"

Arou let out a long, mournful howl that echoed throughout the entire forest.

With Arou holding him under her arm, Xuanhao felt the whistling wind in his ears and the resolute desolation in his heart, his emotions a mix of feelings.

He did not resist, but simply closed his eyes.

That's all he can do.

The rest...

Let's see which side this damned fate is on.

Chapter 25 Arou's Sacrifice

……

Above the Starry Sky Forest.

"Roar—!"

Before the defiant dragon's roar had faded, the rising and falling roars of beasts exploded like a powder keg being ignited, instantly detonating the entire area.

Damn it!

Bibi Dong's originally calm expression turned ashen instantly after hearing the series of roars from the ten-thousand-year-old soul beast.

She had calculated everything, knowing that her opponent couldn't escape and that the three Title Douluos would overwhelm her, but she had overlooked the fact that her disciple was a madman!

"That little bastard...how dare he?!"

Bibi Dong was so angry that she gritted her teeth.

Hu Liena had indeed reported to her before that Xuan Hao's newly acquired second soul skill, "Golden Dragon Roar," could not only stun enemies but also possess dragon might, which could greatly intimidate beast martial souls and soul beasts, and even triggered that small beast tide.

But she never expected that Xuan Hao would dare to use this move in an area teeming with ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts!

And this move actually has such a strong taunting effect? ​​It can even enrage a ten-thousand-year-old soul beast?!

Bibi Dong gritted her teeth in anger, a strange sense of irritation rising within her.

She originally agreed to go to Xuanhao's place, firstly because she felt sorry for him seeing his pitiful state, and secondly because she wanted him to personally experience the cruelty between soul masters and soul beasts, to teach him a lesson through the other party's actions, and to make him understand how dangerous such naive sympathy can be.

With Yue Guan and Gui Mei's dual static domains as a safety net, even if the other party takes hostages, they won't be able to cause any trouble.

This was originally a well-intentioned and transparent strategy that would kill two birds with one stone.

But now...

"Human! You want my spirit ring? Then come and take it!!"

Arou's mournful howl and the aura of a 100,000-year-old soul beast that she deliberately released made her stand out like a giant target amidst the chaotic beast tide.

Bibi Dong knew very well that this was a ploy to lure the tiger away from the mountain, a strategy of sacrificing a pawn to save the king.

But what could she do?

In this chaotic forest teeming with maddened ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts, if she didn't chase after this "big fish" with its obvious aura, was she supposed to search like a headless fly for that "little shrimp" that might have already disappeared somewhere?

What's more, Xuan Hao is still in that woman's hands!

"You brat, when we get back, I'll skin you alive!"

Bibi Dong snorted coldly, and the nine spirit rings on her body lit up instantly. Her external spirit bone, the Six Wings of Purple Light, suddenly unfolded, transforming into a purple lightning bolt that tore through the air and hurtled towards the direction from which Arou's voice came.

"Moon Gate! Ghostly Appearance!"

"Forget about the small one! Save the person first! Take down the big one!"

……

the other side.

Yue Guan and Gui Mei, who were originally flanking the enemy's rear, were also stunned by this sudden turn of events.

"Old ghost! Over there!" Yue Guan pointed in the direction A Rou had fled. There, not only was there an extremely strong aura of a 100,000-year-old soul beast, but also a familiar figure being held in someone's hand.

"This kid really knows how to get into trouble."

The ghostly figure, hidden beneath the black robe, also changed his expression. "This is troublesome... We probably can't worry about the other one now, let's save the person first!"

The two exchanged a glance, reluctantly abandoned their original blockade plan, changed direction, and turned into two afterimages as they chased after Arou.

……

The chase didn't last long.

Although Arou was a 100,000-year-old soul beast in human form and her strength had recovered to the level 70 Soul Saint, she was still struggling to survive against three Title Douluos who were unleashing their full power. Even with her familiarity with the terrain and the interference from the surrounding 10,000-year-old soul beasts, she was ultimately just making a last-ditch effort.

Half an hour later.

At the end of a valley ravaged by several ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts, there is a sheer cliff.

Arou stopped in her tracks.

"You're really willing to go to any lengths for that little one."

Bibi Dong flapped her six purple wings and hovered in mid-air.

"Unfortunately, this is all you can do."

"Whizzing!"

Two whooshing sounds rang out, and Yue Guan and Gui Mei appeared on the rocks on the left and right sides of the valley, forming a pincer movement that completely blocked all of A Rou's escape routes.

"Let him go." Bibi Dong looked coldly at Arou. "Considering the difficulty of your cultivation, I can let you die without pain."

Arou didn't say anything, she just gripped Xuanhao's shoulders tightly.

Every second of delay is buying Xiao Wu a chance to survive.

However, Bibi Dong's patience had run out.

If this continues and attracts the two Forest Kings from the core area, things will get complicated.

The combat power of those two 100,000-year-old soul beasts is far beyond that of ordinary Title Douluos. According to past information from the Spirit Hall, the Titan Giant Ape is strong enough to suppress a level 96 Title Douluo, and the Azure Bull Python is even stronger!

If she wants to hunt down those two guys, she'll have to wait until she reaches level 99 and gathers more titled Douluo elders before she can be sure of success.

Now is not the time to confront those two head-on.

Delay may lead to unforeseen changes!

A cold glint flashed in Bibi Dong's eyes, and her lips moved slightly. In an instant, an extremely subtle transmission of soul power entered the ears of Yue Guan and Gui Mei:

"Stop waiting! Make your move! Activate the Martial Soul Fusion Technique to immobilize her! I'll kill her and take her bones!"

Yue Guan and Gui Mei, who had been poised to attack, sharpened their eyes. All eighteen of their soul rings shone simultaneously, and two completely different soul energies, one gold and one black, intertwined wildly in the air, rapidly forming a strange fluctuation that seemed to freeze time and space.

However, in that very instant...

"You want my life? Dream on!!"

A sharp and resolute pink light suddenly burst forth from Arou's body!

The brilliance of that light instantly overshadowed the radiance of the nascent fusion technique between Yue Guan and Gui Mei. A destructive, violent energy, like a volcano about to erupt, caused the surrounding space to distort violently.

"Oh no! She's going to self-destruct!!"

Bibi Dong's expression changed drastically.

The self-destruction of a 100,000-year-old soul beast is powerful enough to level everything around it! Xuan Hao was so close to her, he was doomed! Moreover, after the self-destruction, the soul ring and soul bone would dissipate, and she would gain nothing!

"Ninth Soul Skill: Immortality!!"

Without any hesitation, Bibi Dong's ninth spirit ring, the 100,000-year spirit ring from the Death Spider King, suddenly lit up.

Her body instantly became energy, and at the same time, she transformed into a purplish-black afterimage, rushing towards Arou without regard for anything else, trying to kill her before Arou could self-destruct!

However, when Bibi Dong rushed to within three meters of Arou, it was as if she had run into an invisible wall of sighs.

"boom!"
