Douluo Continent: Dark Demon God Biao, inheriting the position of an evil god

Chapter 63 Electrox, Zhu Lu's Third Soul Ring
Star Forest.

Dai Yuntian, Zhu Lu, and Long Xiaoyao were freely traversing the forest, searching for a suitable third soul ring for Zhu Lu.

With Long Xiaoyao, a Limit Douluo, by their side, Dai Yuntian and his companions had virtually no worries.

Suddenly, the sound of hurried running and the roar of a soul beast came from ahead.

A ragged, pale-faced boy was seen running frantically and desperately.

A small but extremely agile, snarling baboon was hot on his heels.

The wind baboon kept slashing out with sharp wind blades, adding new wounds to the boy's body, and his condition was extremely critical.

"Rescue!"

Dai Yuntian gave a low shout and his figure flashed out instantly.

He didn't even use his soul skills; he simply waved his hand, and a condensed, extreme ice soul force accurately struck the ground in front of the wind baboon.

"Oh!"

Dust flew up, and a small crater appeared in the ground.

Startled, the wind baboon let out a shriek, glanced fearfully at Dai Yuntian whose aura was unfathomable, and immediately turned and darted into the depths of the dense forest, disappearing from sight.

With the danger over, the shaken boy collapsed to the ground, panting heavily.

Huo Yuhao raised his head, intending to thank his savior, but when he saw Dai Yuntian's face, he froze instantly, as if he had been doused with ice water.

In those eyes that had been filled with relief at surviving the ordeal, a barely perceptible glint of overwhelming hatred flashed.

"Humph!"

Huo Yuhao abruptly turned his head away, letting out a hostile snort from his nose, as if looking at Dai Yuntian would offend his eyes.

Dai Yuntian was slightly taken aback by the boy's overreaction.

Several years have passed, and Huo Yuhao's appearance and temperament have changed a lot.

Given his current disheveled state, Dai Yuntian didn't recognize him as Huo Yuhao, the same Huo Yuhao who had been in the corner of the Duke's mansion years ago.

Dai Yuntian didn't recognize her, but Zhu Lu couldn't stand it anymore.

Her eyebrows furrowed, she stepped forward, and scolded in a coquettish voice, "Hey! What's wrong with you? Brother Yuntian kindly saved you, and instead of being grateful, you're putting on this sour face. Don't you know any manners?"

Long Xiaoyao also frowned, a hint of displeasure flashing in his eyes.

He had lived for over a hundred years and had seen many ungrateful people, but it was truly rare to see someone so rude to their savior.

Just then, two figures hurriedly came from the other side of the forest.

"Yuhao!"

Running ahead was a young girl with a pure and innocent appearance, dressed in a light blue outfit.

She saw Huo Yuhao slumped on the ground, and Dai Yuntian and the other two standing beside him.

In his mind, he could almost picture the three of them bullying Huo Yuhao.

Tang Ya immediately rushed forward, spreading her arms to shield Huo Yuhao behind her like a mother hen protecting her chicks, glaring angrily at Dai Yuntian and the others: "Who are you people? What do you want to do to Yuhao!"

The young man in blue, who followed closely behind, was much calmer and had a refined demeanor and a tall, upright figure.

He pulled the impulsive girl back and said helplessly, "Xiaoya, don't rush. We haven't found out the details yet."

Bei Bei looked at Dai Yuntian and the other two, her gaze lingering briefly on Long Xiaoyao. Sensing an unfathomable aura, she felt a chill run down her spine and clasped her hands in a fist salute:
"My name is Beibei, and this is Tang Ya. May I ask why you gentlemen have clashed with my young brother? If there is any misunderstanding, please explain."

"Holding the sun, moon and stars in my hand, there is no one like me in the world!"

An aged, arrogant voice suddenly boomed through the sky.

The powerful aura and boundless loneliness contained in the voice shook everyone present except for Long Xiaoyao.

Then, to everyone's astonishment...

A fist-sized, jet-black sphere of light.

It fell from the sky like a shooting star, its target being Huo Yuhao.

"careful!"

Bei Bei exclaimed in surprise, and Tang Ya instinctively tried to push Huo Yuhao away.

However, another mutation occurred!

Just as the black orb was about to touch Huo Yuhao, it seemed to sense something, suddenly paused, and abruptly changed its trajectory.

It shot directly at Dai Yuntian, who was standing not far away, at a speed beyond perception.

"not good!"

Long Xiaoyao's expression changed drastically, and his hand shot out with lightning speed, his soul power containing his Limit Douluo cultivation attempting to intercept.

But the black ball was moving too fast, and its trajectory was unpredictable.

Long Xiaoyao's hand was a fraction too slow, barely grazing the edge of the black ball. "Uh!"

The black ball entered Dai Yuntian's brow without any hindrance.

Dai Yuntian's body trembled violently, his eyes rolled back, and he immediately fainted.

"Brother Yuntian!"

Zhu Lu was terrified and cried out in alarm. She quickly caught Dai Yuntian and then knelt down, letting him rest his head on her soft lap to make him as comfortable as possible.

She looked up and asked anxiously, "Elder Long, what happened to Brother Yuntian? Is he alright?"

Long Xiaoyao reached out and touched it, then shook his head: "It's nothing. It must be that the mental pressure from that sphere was too strong. I wasn't prepared and got knocked unconscious."

Hearing this, Zhu Lu's heart finally settled down a little. She gently stroked Dai Yuntian's cheek and murmured, "It's good that Brother Yuntian is alright."

On the other side, Huo Yuhao looked at the unconscious Dai Yuntian with a complex expression, a mixture of astonishment and immense pleasure.

He took a deep breath, suppressed his turbulent emotions, and whispered to Tang Ya and Bei Bei beside him, "Sister Xiao Ya, Brother Bei Bei, I'm fine. Let's go. I don't want to have anything to do with... the Dai family."

He practically forced out the last few words through gritted teeth, his words carrying a chilling edge.

He spoke the last few words through gritted teeth.

"The Dai family?"

Upon hearing this, Tang Ya and Bei Bei were both taken aback, their gazes refocusing on Dai Yuntian with a newfound scrutiny.

They realized there might be more to the story.

Although Tang Ya was impatient, she could tell that this place was not a good place to stay for long, especially the unfathomable old man, who clearly had a close relationship with the Dai family.

She nodded: "Okay, let's go."

"Senior, we'd like to take our leave."

Beibei also clasped her hands in a salute to Long Xiaoyao and Zhu Lu as a farewell, and then the three of them quickly turned around and disappeared into the dense forest.

A voice came from Dai Yuntian's mental space.

"It's been a long time since I've seen such a pure and refined aura of evil, young friend. Please allow this old man to stay for a while..."

After saying this, Electrolux fell into a deep sleep.

Several people quietly waited beside Dai Yuntian.

"Ow—!"

At that moment, a deep, eerie roar, seemingly capable of piercing the soul, came from an unknown source.

"Something is approaching!"

Zhu Lu instantly became alert and activated her martial spirit.

Her figure became more slender, her eyes turned into cat eyes, and her black hair curled up into a pair of cute cat ears.

He cautiously scanned the surrounding dark woods, keeping the unconscious Dai Yuntian firmly behind him.

However, this hidden hostility...

In front of a powerful figure like Long Xiaoyao, it was as conspicuous as a candle flame in the dark.

"Huh! You don't know how to live or die!"

A cold glint flashed in Long Xiaoyao's eyes, and he let out a cold snort.

He didn't even move his feet; he simply made a seemingly casual grabbing motion in the air towards the direction from which the whistling sound came.

"Ugh——!"

A shrill scream and the sound of struggling suddenly came from the dense forest in the distance.

The next moment, Long Xiaoyao's figure blurred slightly, then solidified again in an instant.

In his hand now lay a large leopard-shaped soul beast with dark gray fur and flowing cloud-like markings.

It is a top-tier agility-type soul beast renowned for its speed, stealth, and soul interference abilities.

The Thousand-Year Dark Clouded Leopard!

Long Xiaoyao casually tossed the still trembling Netherworld Cloud Leopard in front of Zhu Lu:

"A kitten that's a thousand years old dares to bare its teeth in front of this old man? Perfect, while this kid is still asleep, you should absorb this thing."

"The Dark Cloud Leopard's spirit ring is one of the top choices for agility-type spirit masters like you, and it's especially suitable for your spirit."

Zhu Lu naturally understood how much absorbing the Dark Cloud Leopard would help her martial soul.

She quickly withdrew her martial spirit and bowed respectfully to Long Xiaoyao: "Zhu Lu thanks Elder Long!"

Long Xiaoyao waved his hand casually: "Alright, alright, I hate these formalities the most. Hurry up and get started, absorb the nutrients quickly, I'll protect you."
