On the other side!
Xiong Jun and several other beast kings quickly escaped to the outskirts of the city with the dying Crimson King and the unconscious Qian Renshang.
The wilderness outside the city stretched endlessly, a howling wind swept through, and withered grass trembled in the wind.
The figures of the beast kings appeared somewhat lonely and anxious in this desolate scene.
Xiong Jun gently put Qian Renshang down, his movements so gentle as if afraid of hurting him.
Then, he carefully laid the Crimson King flat on the ground, his eyes full of worry.
Xiong Jun's eyes were full of anger and confusion, his thick arms were clenched into fists, and his knuckles turned white from the force. He roared,
"Why did this happen! Damn it... It's all because of that Qian Daoliu!
He's even more despicable than that Bibi Dong!"
His voice echoed like thunder in the desolate wilderness, filled with endless anger and resentment.
However, only the wind responded to his roar.
The Demon King paced back and forth, his long tail swaying incessantly, each sway kicking up a cloud of dust. He muttered,
"This all happened so suddenly. We weren't prepared at all."
His brows were furrowed, his eyes filled with anxiety and confusion, as if he were lost in this sudden predicament.
Bi Ji knelt beside the Crimson King, tears streaming down her beautiful face, falling to the ground and instantly absorbed by the dry earth.
She frantically cast healing spells, green light flickering in her hands, continuously flowing into the Crimson King's body.
But the Crimson King's injuries showed no significant improvement; the shocking wounds continued to bleed.
"Red King, you must hold on!"
Bi Ji's voice trembled with tears, as if her heart was breaking.
The other beast kings surrounded them, some pounding the ground in anger, their fists leaving deep craters, others looking up at the sky, their pent-up resentment finding no outlet but to roar at the heavens.
"Spirit Hall, we will settle this score!"
One beast king said through gritted teeth, his eyes burning with the flames of revenge.
Just then, a flock of black crows suddenly flew across the sky, their cawing breaking the silence of the wilderness and making the atmosphere even more oppressive and eerie.
A purple light swiftly pursued from behind, and all the Beast Kings' expressions changed drastically, their hearts filled with tension and fear.
Sure enough, someone had caught up, and it seemed to be that Bibi Dong… a level 99 peerless Douluo.
The Beast Kings struggled to decide who should cover their retreat.
Xiong Jun suddenly stood up, his fur standing on end, like an angry lion. He shouted,
"I'll go! You take Chi Wang and Qian Renshang and go first!"
His voice was firm and resolute, without the slightest hesitation.
Wan Yao Wang grabbed Xiong Jun, saying, "No, you have to take the others and break through.
I'll go."
His eyes were filled with determination, as if he was prepared to die.
Bi Ji also said, "Let me go. My recovery ability is strong; perhaps I can buy some time."
Her eyes revealed a hint of determination; she was willing to risk everything to protect her companions.
The beast kings argued back and forth, each trying to buy time for the others to escape.
Their eyes were filled with concern for their comrades and anger towards the enemy.
As they argued, the purple light drew ever closer, its powerful pressure making it difficult for the beast kings to breathe.
The pressure felt like a mountain pressing down on their hearts, making it almost impossible to catch their breath.
Bibi Dong, at level 99, was a formidable opponent; aside from Di Tian, no one dared claim they could defeat her!
Moreover, this was Spirit Hall territory; if they stopped, reinforcements would arrive continuously, making the rear extremely dangerous.
"I'll go!"
At this moment, Gu Yuena, who had remained calm, stepped forward and offered to cover the rear. The beast kings were shocked.
How could this be?
She was the ruler of all spirit beasts, and she hadn't even recovered her strength yet!
How could she possibly be a match for Bibi Dong!
"My lord, you mustn't!"
Xiong Jun said urgently.
"You are the hope of our spirit beasts; we cannot take such a risk!"
His voice was filled with anxiety and worry, and sweat dripped from his forehead.
The King of Ten Thousand Demons quickly added,
"Yes, my lord, we will fight to the death to stop her!"
His eyes were filled with loyalty and determination.
Gu Yuena's expression was resolute, her beautiful eyes revealing determination:
"You can't stop her, only I have a sliver of hope.
Don't worry, I know what I'm doing."
Her voice was calm yet powerful, as if it possessed an irresistible force.
But Gu Yuena merely asked everyone to trust her with a blank expression, saying that there was no time left, and this was the best solution.
The crowd struggled with their expressions but ultimately left!
Xiong Jun gritted his teeth, his eyes filled with resentment and worry, but he still obeyed Gu Yuena's words, turning and leaving with Chi Wang and Qian Renshang.
His steps were heavy, each step seemingly carrying endless pain.
Wan Yao Wang looked back every few steps, his expression pained and conflicted.
How he wished he could stay and face the danger with Gu Yuena.
"My lord, you must return safely!"
Bi Ji cried out with tears in her eyes, her voice drifting in the wind, filled with concern for Gu Yuena.
Gu Yuena had her back to them, nodded slightly, and remained silent.
Her gaze was fixed on Bibi Dong, who was approaching step by step.
She was on high alert, her long silver hair fluttering in the wind, like a goddess descending.
Meanwhile!
Bibi Dong laughed maniacally, about to give chase.
"Damn soul beasts, where are you taking my child?"
Her voice was sharp and piercing, filled with madness.
"Stay here!"
Her eyes were filled with greed and killing intent.
The next moment, a silver light blocked her path.
Bibi Dong's expression turned ugly.
"Who?"
She roared angrily, her heart filled with doubt and rage.
Then she saw Gu Yue Na wielding the Silver Dragon Spear!
Gu Yue Na's figure was graceful, yet she exuded a sharp aura.
She held the Silver Dragon Spear, its tip gleaming with a cold light, like a dazzling star.
"Bibi Dong, your opponent is me!"
Gu Yue Na shouted sweetly, her voice clear and firm, carrying an undeniable authority.
She looked at Gu Yuena with utter mockery, not believing Gu Yuena was a match for her at all; blocking her way was simply courting death!
"Gu Yuena, you're seeking your own demise!"
Bibi Dong sneered, her face full of contempt, as if looking at an insignificant ant.
Gu Yuena remained calm, her gaze resolute as she met Bibi Dong's eyes. She said,
"How will you know the outcome if you don't try?"
Her voice was calm and firm, without the slightest fear.
Bibi Dong burst into laughter:
"Truly ignorant of your own limitations! Since you're so determined to die, then I'll grant your wish!"
Her laughter echoed through the wilderness, filled with madness and murderous intent.
