With Poison Immortal and three Ninth-Rank Soul Engineers acting together, let alone a heavily injured Hundred Thousand Year Silver Moon Wolf King and Zhang Lexuan.
Even if Xuan Zi came, the five of them joining forces would have absolute certainty in completely suppressing him, or even packing him up and taking him away!
After arriving at the scene, Poison Immortal scanned the two figures in the center of the battlefield, his eyes showing not a hint of emotion.
Zhang Lexuan was at the end of her rope; she had exhausted her spirit power to cover her fellow disciples, her body torn in multiple places by the Silver Moon Wolf King's sharp claws, her clothes soaked in blood and her face as pale as paper.
And the Hundred Thousand Year Silver Moon Wolf King opposite her was also not having an easy time.
Its massive body was covered in wounds deep enough to see bone, its silver-white fur stained dark red with blood, and its originally incomparably sharp wolf eyes now glinted with murderous light.
When Zhang Lexuan and the Silver Moon Wolf King saw the newcomers and felt that overbearing aura capable of crushing everything, both the person and the beast froze simultaneously.
Zhang Lexuan and the Silver Moon Wolf King's pupils shrank abruptly, their faces showing expressions of unbelievable shock.
Before the stormy waves in their hearts could subside, a tyrannical suppression had already descended.
Poison Immortal didn't waste any time or words; he had always acted ruthlessly and decisively.
Poison Immortal's aura surged instantly, his blood-red hundred-thousand-year seventh spirit ring suddenly lit up, and his Martial Soul True Body unfolded without reservation!
"Open!!"
The pressure of a Level 98 Super Douluo crashed down like the heavens collapsing, locking onto the heavily injured Silver Moon Wolf King and the spirit power-depleted Zhang Lexuan.
The terrifying power suppressed them, causing the strength to even move a finger to vanish instantly.
In the face of such an absolute gap in strength, any resistance appeared pale and weak.
Poison Immortal's figure flickered, appearing before Zhang Lexuan; without any tender feelings for the fairer sex, he raised his hand and struck her on the back of the neck.
"Bang!"
With a dull thud, Zhang Lexuan couldn't even let out a scream; her eyes rolled back, and she slumped down, completely unconscious.
Seeing this, Li Ming behind him immediately stepped forward, his wrist flipping as a set of top-tier Binding Spirit Tools flickering with brilliant golden light instantly unfolded.
This set of spirit tools was also Li Ming's work; let alone an unconscious Zhang Lexuan, even a peak Spirit Douluo in their prime would find it difficult to break free once caught.
The spirit tool instantly wrapped around Zhang Lexuan, binding her firmly, and put her away like packing an item.
Then, under Poison Immortal's suppression, Li Ming walked quickly to the dying Silver Moon Wolf King and used his masterpiece, the Ninth-Rank Sealing Spirit Tool—the god-sealing platform.
The god-sealing platform shone brightly, and a gentle but irresistible power fell, completely sealing the heavily injured and defenseless Silver Moon Wolf King and taking it into his possession.
Thus, this sudden ambush concluded with lightning speed.
The entire process took only a few breaths, clean and efficient, leaving no redundant traces.
Meanwhile, Xu Tianran, who had been hiding nearby and directing the whole operation, walked slowly to the corner of the battlefield.
His gaze swept across the ground, and he soon found something.
Two Spirit Bones lay quietly in the mud, still stained with wet blood.
These had clearly dropped from the Shrek Inner Court geniuses who had been killed by the Silver Moon Wolf King's frenzy earlier.
To an ordinary Spirit Master, a Ten-thousand-year Spirit Bone was enough to make people fight to the death, yet here they were left on this bloody battlefield like trash.
Xu Tianran collected the two Ten-thousand-year Spirit Bones and also took the spirit tools scattered across the ground.
Having done all this, he was in no hurry to leave; instead, he carefully inspected the battlefield, using special means to erase all auras and traces left by the five of them.
Then he meticulously arranged the scene, leading all clues toward a Spirit Beast riot and some methods of Evil Soul Masters, ensuring their group's movements would not be exposed.
After confirming everything was foolproof, Xu Tianran and the others simultaneously restrained their auras, perfectly hiding their spirit power and presence.
The five of them were like five ghosts, silently speeding toward the outer reaches of the Star Dou Great Forest, vanishing into the depths of the dense forest in an instant, as if they had never appeared.
Time passed bit by bit.
After Xu Tianran's group left, the dead battlefield was left only with the whimpering of the wind through broken trees and the lingering scent of blood in the air.
A full half hour later, a drunken, staggering burly figure finally arrived slowly from a distance.
The newcomer was incredibly tall, with knotted muscles, clothes draped casually over him, messy hair, and a heavy smell of alcohol on his face.
This person was none other than Xuan Zi!
He had clearly just eaten and drunk his fill, his whole body radiating a lazy drunkenness; he hadn't expected such an earth-shattering tragedy to occur in the depths of the Star Dou Great Forest.
When Xuan Zi's gaze fell upon this battlefield, which was tragic to the extreme, the drunkenness on his face receded like a tide, replaced by extreme shock and rage!
Broken giant trees, dried blood, scattered spirit tool fragments...
And what made his eyes nearly burst with rage were the severed limbs and broken bodies of those Shrek Inner Court geniuses!
The faces full of despair and pain before death, their unclosed eyes, clearly reflected in his sight.
Some even had their faces smashed.
"Ahhhh—!!"
Xuan Zi's eyes instantly turned blood-red, his chest heaving violently, panting like a bull.
A roar comparable to the wrath of an ancient beast suddenly erupted from his mouth, the sound waves sweeping in all directions, even making the surrounding dense forest tremble!
"How could this happen! How could this happen!!"
He rushed over like a madman, looking at those familiar faces turned into cold corpses.
Watching the Inner Court geniuses Shrek had spent countless efforts to cultivate all perish here.
Xuan Zi only felt a surge of monstrous rage rush to his brain, almost losing control and going berserk on the spot.
With trembling hands, he checked the bodies one by one, his heart feeling as if it were being squeezed tightly by an invisible giant hand.
But when he searched the entire scene and found no corpse of Zhang Lexuan, the heart hanging in his throat finally let out a sigh of relief.
In Xuan Zi's heart, although the geniuses of the Shrek Inner Court were precious, they were not irreplaceable; however, only Zhang Lexuan was different.
Zhang Lexuan had no parents and no family background; she was a core successor cultivated entirely by the academy, the hope of Shrek's future!
As long as Zhang Lexuan was still alive, Shrek still had a spark, still had a future!
But even so, seeing the tragic deaths of the Inner Court students all over the ground, Xuan Zi still couldn't suppress the rage in his heart.
"Roar—!!"
Xuan Zi roared to the sky, his Level 98 Super Douluo cultivation erupting without reservation!
The terrifying spirit power swept in all directions like a tsunami; countless Spirit Beasts were terrified by this pressure and fled in all directions.
The entire area was thrown into a massive upheaval because of his rage.
