Douluo Continent: The creation of Jixia Academy made Bibi Dong drool with envy.

Chapter 12 Zhao Wuji's Deadly Strike!
late at night.

The outskirts of the Star Dou Forest.

In Shrek's makeshift camp, the campfire crackled, illuminating tired yet vigilant faces.

Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun were in charge of keeping watch at night.

Having experienced the day's crushing defeat and shock, they dared not let their guard down for a moment.

Sudden.

"Boom!"

A deep, muffled thud seemed to come from the depths of the earth, causing the entire ground to tremble slightly!
"what sound?!"

Dai Mubai suddenly stood up and looked around warily.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

The heavy footsteps grew closer and clearer.

Each time it rang out, it felt like a heavy hammer striking their hearts.

Accompanying the footsteps was an indescribable, terrifying pressure.

Wild, brutal, and filled with an absolute sense of power.

Like an ancient behemoth awakening from its slumber, it bursts forth from the darkness.

"Oh no! A powerful soul beast is approaching!"

Dai Mubai's expression changed drastically, and he shouted sharply.

"Wake everyone up!"

Without him saying anything, the others in the camp were also awakened by the terrifying commotion.

Tang San, Xiao Wu, Oscar, Zhu Zhuqing, and even the seriously injured Zhao Wuji and the slightly more alert Yu Xiaogang all struggled to their feet, their faces filled with terror.

"What...what kind of spirit beast is this? The pressure it exerts is terrifying!"

Oscar was speechless with shock.

Zhao Wuji's face turned deathly pale. Weakly sensing the approaching, terrifying aura, he cried out:
"It is...it is the King of the Forest, at least...a being of the hundred thousand years level!"

Quick! Get out of there!

Everyone evacuate immediately!

A 100,000-year-old soul beast!
These four words struck everyone's heart like four thunderbolts.

They had just been utterly humiliated by a Title Douluo and a group of Soul Kings and Soul Masters during the day.

Now they've attracted a 100,000-year-old soul beast?!

This is incredibly bad luck.

"Roar!!!"

Just as everyone was in a panic, a deafening roar erupted.

A giant black ape, as large as a small mountain, suddenly smashed through the giant tree blocking its path and appeared in front of the camp.

Titan Ape.

Its enormous, lantern-like eyes shone with a violent and anxious light, fixed intently on Xiao Wu in the crowd.

"Er Ming!"

When Xiao Wu saw who it was, she turned pale and instinctively cried out in surprise.

It’s over.

Was discovered.

The Titan Ape clearly ignored the other ants and reached out its massive, fan-like hand to grab Xiao Wu!

"Protect Xiao Wu!"

Tang San's eyes were bloodshot, and he wanted to rush forward immediately.

"Don't be impulsive, mistress!"

Yu Xiaogang grabbed him.

"Retreat! We're no match for it!"

"But Xiao Wu..."

"I can't worry about that now!"

"Master, you lead them to retreat first, I'll cover the rear!"

Zhao Wuji shouted anxiously.

The heavily injured Zhao Wuji shook his head, a resolute glint in his eyes.

He is a Soul Saint.

He is a teacher at Shrek Academy.

Protecting the students is his duty.

Even if it meant death, he was determined to fight for these children's survival.

"You take the children and go, I'll distract it!"

Zhao Wuji abruptly pushed away Ma Hongjun, who was supporting him, and forcefully activated the remaining soul power within his body.

"The seventh soul skill, martial soul true form!"

A faint, dark golden light flickered once more, and the true form of Fudo Myoo barely materialized. Although its aura was far less powerful than at its peak, it still exuded an aura of fearlessness and indomitable spirit.

"You beast, look this way!"

Zhao Wuji roared and launched an attack on the Titan Giant Ape.

Try to draw its attention to buy time for the others to retreat!
However, the Titan Ape's only target was Xiao Wu from beginning to end.

A hint of extreme impatience and savagery flashed in its eyes as it looked at Zhao Wuji, this "ant" who dared to provoke it.

It didn't even stop its grabbing of Xiao Wu; it simply swung its other fist to meet the oncoming Zhao Wuji.

Seeing Zhao Wuji actually charging towards the Titan Ape regardless of his own life, Xiao Wu's heart tightened.

But she did not speak up to stop it.

On the one hand, she didn't have a good impression of Zhao Wuji, who had almost attacked them a few days ago.

On the other hand, in her opinion, although Erming looked fierce, he was always very measured and probably wouldn't actually kill her.

At most, we'll just teach this reckless human a lesson.

However, this time, she was completely wrong.

The Titan Ape was already extremely anxious because it sensed Xiao Wu's presence, and now, after being repeatedly provoked by Zhao Wuji, this ant, its violent tendencies were completely ignited.

Moreover, Zhao Wuji was at his limit at this moment, and his attacks were weak and powerless. In the eyes of the Titan Giant Ape, this was simply blatant contempt.

"Roar!!!"

The enraged Titan Ape unleashed a punch with a casual swing, which suddenly possessed earth-shattering power.

"boom--!!!"

A loud bang that was extremely dull!
Zhao Wuji's barely formed Martial Soul True Body was defeated by the Titan Giant Ape's enraged punch.

Like fragile glass, it was instantly covered with cracks.

Then came a "click".

The true form of Fudo Myo-o was completely shattered.

The violent force, undiminished, slammed into Zhao Wuji's body.

"puff--!"

Zhao Wuji didn't even have time to let out a scream before his body flew backward like a broken sack, losing all signs of life in mid-air.

Martial Soul Shattered!

Died suddenly on the spot!

The mighty Immovable King, the level 76 Soul Saint Zhao Wuji, just like that... died.

He was killed by a single punch from the Titan Ape!

This sudden and incredibly cruel scene stunned everyone.

Xiao Wu covered her mouth, her eyes filled with disbelief and a hint of...fear.

She never expected... that Erming would actually... kill him?!
"what!!!"

The first person to react was surprisingly Yu Xiaogang!
Seeing that even the strongest Zhao Wuji was killed with a single punch, this "master" was completely terrified.

He screamed, no longer caring about the dignity of a teacher or the safety of his students.

It turned around and fled frantically in the opposite direction from the Titan Ape, using all its strength.

They slipped away and made a quick getaway.

That speed was even faster than when his soul power was at its peak!
"teacher?!"

Tang San was stunned to see Yu Xiaogang abandon them and run away alone; something in his heart seemed to shatter.

Dai Mubai, Ma Hongjun, Oscar, Zhu Zhuqing, and others were both shocked and angry, but even more so, they felt a deep-seated fear.

Even Master Zao Wou-Ki is dead.

What can they possibly do?!

Fear, like an icy tide, instantly overwhelmed their anger and fighting spirit.

Only Tang San, seeing Xiao Wu being grabbed by the Titan Giant Ape and her eyes filled with terror, felt his anxiety and anger overwhelm his fear.

He wanted to save Xiao Wu.

We must save Xiao Wu!
But... what should he do?!

Facing this terrifying Titan Ape alone, he was like a mantis trying to stop a chariot, or an egg striking a rock.

Dai Mubai and his group were clearly unreliable; even the teacher had run away…

Despair! Helplessness!
A profound sense of loss and powerlessness enveloped Tang San like a nightmare.

Was he just supposed to watch helplessly as Xiao Wu was taken away?!
Just as Tang San was anxious and at a loss, almost falling into despair.

He suddenly saw a group of familiar figures appearing in the dense forest not far away.

It was the mysterious young man who had just crushed them during the day, possessing terrifying strength—

The Soul Hunting Team of Jixia Academy.

It was as if a drowning person had grasped at the last straw.

Tang San no longer cared about hatred or humiliation.

He mustered all his strength and rushed in that direction, shouting hoarsely:
"Help! Please, save Xiao Wu!!"
