Before Liu Erlong could finish speaking, Mu Ci casually waved his hand.
A cyan-gold vine, hundreds of meters long, emerged from the ground, whipping through the air like a divine whip and creating countless sonic booms.
Liu Erlong, who was flying, was completely unable to react to such an attack. Like a fly being swatted into the ground, her fate unknown.
Dugu Yan looked at this scene with some surprise and asked Mu Ci, "What was that just now...?"
“Liu Erlong, one of the instructors leading the Shrek Academy team!” Mu Ci answered Dugu Yan casually, but her gaze was fixed on the dark clouds that were rapidly approaching in the distance.
"It must be that Xiao Wu deliberately got separated from her in order to condense her spirit ring!"
Upon hearing this, Dugu Yan understood everything.
Xiao Wu was probably similar to her; both of them broke through their bottlenecks on their way to Wuhun City.
Then Liu Erlong brought her here to hunt for a soul ring. However, because it was a 100,000-year-old soul beast, Xiao Wu took the opportunity to leave Liu Erlong's side, and that's how all of this happened.
"Judging from Liu Erlong's tone just now, it seems that he has recognized Xiao Wu as his goddaughter. But I wonder what she would think if she knew that her daughter was a soul beast?"
After Dugu Yan finished speaking, she noticed that Mu Ci was looking into the distance and couldn't help but ask curiously, "Aci, what are you looking at?"
Mu Ci toyed with Dugu Yan's smooth, silky black hair and said with a smile, "Of course I'm waiting to see when your 100,000-year soul ring will arrive."
"Huh? Will another 100,000-year-old soul beast come later?" Dugu Yan asked, somewhat surprised.
"Of course, there's also a 100,000-year-old soul beast with dragon blood, which resides in the center of the Star Dou Great Forest." Mu Ci casually pointed to Xiao Wu beside him.
"He and Xiao Wu are siblings, so he'll definitely come over if he finds out they're in trouble," Mu Ci explained to Dugu Yan with a smile.
Just in time, it came.
As Mu Ci finished speaking, dark clouds suddenly appeared in the sky, and azure divine lightning filled the sky, weaving through the clouds.
"Moo!"
With a loud roar, a huge bull's head emerged from the dark clouds, with blue lightning swirling around its horns. Its enormous eyes were filled with rage as it looked down at the two people on the ground.
Connected to the bull's head was a massive snake body, several times thicker than a water vat. Its entire body was blackish-blue, and its scales shimmered with a metallic sheen under the sunlight. It was tens of meters long and appeared and disappeared amidst the rolling dark clouds.
"Human, release Sister Xiaowu and Erming, or you will face unimaginable consequences!" The Azure Bull Python's furious words echoed like thunder in the sky.
"Consequences? What consequences could there be?" Mu Ci said as seven terrifying spirit rings reappeared.
The terrifying aura instantly surged to the peak Douluo level, and Xiao Wu and the Titan Giant Ape also showed signs of pain at that moment.
The immense pressure rendered the Azure Bull Python speechless, and the word "monster" surfaced in its mind.
"Human, what do you want?" The Azure Bull Python remained silent for a long time before looking at Mu Ci and asking solemnly.
Unlike the Titan Ape, he was not reckless or easily angered, and he naturally realized that the humans in front of him had other purposes in keeping the two of them alive.
Mu Ci held Dugu Yan's hand and spoke to the Azure Bull Python in the sky.
"I want you to sacrifice yourself for my wife!"
Chapter 189 Sacrifice
A sacrifice!?
As soon as Mu Ci uttered those words, Xiao Wu and the Titan Giant Ape in the distance both perked up and shouted at the Azure Bull Python in the sky.
"No! The Ming Dynasty!"
"Brother don't!"
The azure ox-python in the sky was naturally furious. Heavy breathing began from its nostrils, and azure lightning surged around its body, but it calmed down after a while.
Because he had no other choice, he wanted to act now, kill the person in front of him, and rescue Xiao Wu and Er Ming.
But he couldn't do it; Erming, who possessed Titan blood, was only on par with him.
If the other party could subdue Erming in such a short time, then if I were to intervene, I wouldn't fare well either.
The Azure Bull Python remained silent for a moment, then stared at Mu Ci and asked in a deep voice.
"Humans, what grudge do you hold against us?"
Mu Ci found it somewhat amusing and looked at the Azure Bull Python, saying, "Have you lost your mind from staying in the water for so long?"
"Does a Soul Master need a very important reason to hunt for Soul Rings? My wife broke through her bottleneck, so as her husband, I brought her to hunt for Soul Rings. Isn't that normal?"
"If you must blame someone, then blame the person who set up this rule."
Mu Ci's words left the Azure Bull Python speechless.
Soul Masters hunt for Soul Rings, while Soul Beasts kill Soul Masters within their territories.
It's simply part of the laws of Douluo Continent, just like needing to eat when hungry or drink when thirsty. There's no right or wrong in it; it's just how the world is.
The Azure Bull Python closed its eyes and pondered for a while, then opened them again to look at Mu Ci, "If I make a sacrifice, will you release Xiao Wu and Er Ming?"
“Yes, as long as you offer your sacrifice safely, they can leave safely.” Mu Ci really didn’t care about this.
The Titan Ape's family didn't really have much need for his spirit rings, so they let him go.
As for Xiao Wu, he wouldn't care if she stopped staying by Tang San's side afterward.
The little rabbit is too weak. Its talent as a transformed soul beast is wasted. It has almost no temperament. Over the years, it has probably forgotten why it transformed. Mu Ci is too lazy to even look at such a person.
However, based solely on Mu Ci's words, the Azure Bull Python found it difficult to believe what the human in front of it was saying. In the eyes of these soul beasts, soul masters were all cunning and treacherous.
"Human powerhouses, I can sacrifice myself! But can you swear an oath with your martial spirit as a guarantee?"
Hearing the Azure Bull Python's increasingly audacious words, Mu Ci's face also darkened.
"Azure Bull Python, you talk too much!"
“You are the best option, but not the only option. I can choose to kill you all now and then obtain three 100,000-year-old soul bones.”
"As for spirit rings, I can simply choose a dragon-type spirit beast that is thirty or forty thousand years old. It will just take some time!"
The Azure Bull Python fell silent. It knew this was the human's final ultimatum.
If he says anything unnecessary again, he might really anger the other party, and then none of the three of them will survive.
He looked again at Xiao Wu, who was shaking her head and crying frantically, and Er Ming, who was being pressed to the ground by a giant hand.
He has no choice.
"Alright, I agree to the sacrifice!" The Azure Bull Python made up its mind in an instant.
“A wise choice! But let me make this clear: I can keep my promise and let them go, but if these two are determined to die, I won’t hold back!”
After saying that, Mu Ci looked at Dugu Yan gently and said, "Yan Yan, step forward and accept his sacrifice!"
Dugu Yan looked at Mu Ci with a mixture of excitement and worry, "Aci, am I sure I'm okay at only level 60? That's a 100,000-year soul ring!"
Although I've heard that Mu Ci received a sacrifice from a 100,000-year-old soul beast without any difficulty.
But the gap between the two of them was so huge, and there were so few cases of sacrifice, she wasn't sure if there was any difference between them.
Mu Ci smiled and patted Dugu Yan on the shoulder, "Don't worry, sacrificing a soul beast is the least dangerous thing. You just need to wait patiently."
When Dugu Yan reached the open space, Mu Ci looked up at the Azure Bull Python in the sky again and said, "We can begin!"
With things having come to this point, there was no other choice. The Azure Bull Python took one last look at Xiao Wu and the Titan Giant Ape, then let out a loud bull roar to the sky!
Spots of red light began to appear on the tens of meters long body of the Azure Bull Python. This was proof that the 100,000-year-old soul beast had begun to burn its essence and spirit, and it was also the beginning of the sacrifice.
As the azure ox python, burning with blood flames, swam from mid-air to Dugu Yan's front.
A towering red beam of light completely enveloped the two of them at this moment, and the Azure Bull Python's figure began to fade.
The sacrifice begins!
-
In the heart of the Starry Sky Forest, deep within the Lake of Life.
The Azure Bull Python and the Titan Ape could never have imagined that in the place they had lived for thousands of years...
Deep within, there was a hidden alternate dimension where many terrifying beings, whom they dared not even imagine, slept in eternal slumber.
At this moment, at the center of these terrifying beings, a large, snow-white worm was having its soul power continuously drained.
Strands of platinum-gold energy dissipated within the space, being absorbed by the surrounding individuals with each breath.
Just then, a burly man in a black robe opened his golden eyes, as bright as the sun.
In an instant, golden light burst forth, illuminating even the somewhat dim space.
After the man in black robes had been awake for a while, an extremely gentle female voice echoed in the space.
Then a stunningly beautiful and gentle woman in a long emerald green dress emerged from the darkness, her emerald green wings unfurling behind her. A rich aura of life refreshed the air in the small space.
"Di Tian, how did you wake up?"
"Yes. I was supposed to awaken once every hundred years, but while I was digesting my soul power, my mind suddenly stirred a few times, and I woke up when I sensed something was wrong." Di Tian stood up from the ground and looked at the gentle woman who had appeared.
"Bridget, have anything unusual happened during the years you've been on duty?"
Brigitte spread her wings and shook her head slightly. "You don't allow us to leave the bottom of the lake, and my cultivation is not as good as yours. If it hadn't happened up there, I would have had a hard time sensing it."
"And if you hadn't woken up now, I might have fallen into a deep sleep in a few days."
After speaking, Biji looked at Ditian and asked, "What exactly did you sense?"
Di Tian shook his head. "I'm not too sure either. Let's check outside first!"
After he finished speaking, golden light suddenly burst forth from Di Tian's eyes, its power piercing through the void.
The scene outside appeared before his eyes in an instant, and his face instantly turned one of shock and anger.
"Human, stop right there!"
His right hand rose in an instant, then transformed into a terrifying black dragon claw, tearing through the void and grabbing outwards.
But in the next moment, the expression on his dignified face changed again!
"How can this be!"
Chapter 190 Sudden Rise! Di Tian's Shock!
As the pillar of light in front of her gradually faded, Mu Ci smiled slightly.
