A brief silence fell over the arena, both people and beasts seemingly frozen in place.
The figure of the young man who suddenly burst into the scene was so dazzling and conspicuous.
The nine-colored dragon claw was mighty and strong, with deep black pupils radiating purple-gold divine light, the Dragon God Phantom swirling around his tall and straight body, exuding endless ferocity, while his flowing black hair bursting with an unstoppable aura.
"Dead...dead?!!"
"Did the ten-thousand-year-old Blazing Fire Monkey King just get slapped to death by him?"
"Am I saved??"
Huang Yuan's eyes bulged, utterly shocked.
Just a second ago, he had braced himself for a gruesome death at the hands of the Monkey King, but in the next second, the ferocious Monkey King was blown to bits?
The other two young men were also dumbfounded, staring in disbelief at the newly arrived Luo Yu, feeling a sense of unreality washing over them.
"Squeak squeak squeak!!"
Without a leader, the group of Fiery Monkeys frantically fled.
Only the scattered flesh and bones on the ground served as proof that the Blazing Fire Monkey King had once walked this world.
Realizing someone had come to the rescue, Liu Erlong's beautiful eyes burst with joy, and she looked at the young man who appeared suddenly with gratitude.
Just now, when a student was about to die right in front of her, the feeling of being unable to rescue him had distressed her to the extreme, but she never expected the situation to change in an instant.
As her gaze focused, when Liu Erlong saw the handsome and youthful face of Luo Yu beneath the colored light, her beautiful eyes momentarily stilled again.
No way.
This... This young?
He seemed to be about the same age as Huang Yuan and the others.
How could he possess such terrifying strength, it was just too unbelievable.
With just one strike, he had shattered the ten-thousand-year-old Blazing Fire Monkey King. Even if it was a sneak attack, an ordinary Soul Emperor seemed incapable of this feat.
Liu Erlong was shocked by the strength Luo Yu possessed, her consciousness briefly stunned.
"Be careful!"
Luo Yu's eyes flashed a warning, as he exerted force beneath his feet, instantly blasting a hole in the ground and rocketing towards Liu Erlong's position.
"Roar!"
The explosive destruction of the Blazing Fire Monkey King's flesh ignited the savage nature within the bloodlines of the three great soul beasts.
They brought with them a fierce wind, wildly charging at Liu Erlong, aiming to kill her with one strike.
Liu Erlong, prompted by Luo Yu's warning, reacted quickly, her Soul Power condensed, and two fiery dragons roared out from her palms.
They deflected the stealth attacks of the Bloodthirsty Demon Bear and the Blazing Demon Lion King.
But there was no time to stop the Single-Horned Demon Rhino that had already arrived at close quarters.
"I've been careless!"
Liu Erlong inwardly cried out in alarm, having allowed this beast to gain the upper hand.
She quickly twisted her fiery figure, trying to dodge, but the Demon Rhino was several meters in size, its attack range was just too wide.
In the nick of time,
"Swoosh!"
Luo Yu's figure suddenly appeared, blocking between the two.
Raising his dragon claw enveloped in nine-colored divine light, he instantly struck towards the Single-Horned Demon Rhino.
"Clang!"
The sound of metal striking metal rose, sparks flying from where the dragon claw and the rhino's horn met.
Luo Yu felt a powerful force transmitted to his dragon-like arm, causing it to go numb from the shock, pushing him to the side.
Nevertheless, the Demon Rhino's offensive momentum was forcibly curbed.
Liu Erlong quickly moved in front of Luo Yu, asking with concern, "Thank you, are you alright?"
"It's nothing," Luo Yu shook his numb arm and grunted, "This beast is really strong."
Up close, Liu Erlong was momentarily stunned by the sight of Luo Yu's striking appearance.
So handsome.
She had long passed the age of innocent, girlish charm, bearing the composure of a mature woman.
Yet confronted with Luo Yu's banished immortal bearing, her heart skipped a beat, he really was too handsome.
What surprised her the most was that Luo Yu had withstood a blow from the thirty-thousand-year-old Single-Horned Demon Rhino and only suffered arm numbness, which proved that this young man's combat power was absolutely no less than that of a Soul Emperor.
Is there such a young Soul Emperor expert in any major power?
Liu Erlong also knew that now was not the time for idle chatter and quickly suppressed the shock in her heart.
"Thank you, friend, for your help. Would you mind lending a hand to kill these three beasts with me? There will be a generous reward afterward."
"No problem, let's do this."
Luo Yu nodded and responded succinctly.
Liu Erlong's face brightened with joy, having previously been too oppressed by the combined forces of the three beasts.
Now having an ally, she immediately held her head high with pride.
With all her firepower unleashed, she had no more reservations.
"You just need to hold off the Blazing Demon Lion King for me."
"Boom!"
After giving her instructions, Liu Erlong charged forward with raging flames.
Her graceful and sizzling figure was filled with violent ferocity.
Punch after punch, she hammered at the Single-Horned Demon Rhino's thick, armor-like keratin layer.
The Bloodthirsty Demon Bear's brown fur shone with a bloodthirsty gleam as it swung its massive claws in a sneak attack. Liu Erlong, as if having eyes in the back of her head, flipped backwards in midair and delivered a whip kick.
The kick traced a stunning arc in the air, bringing with it a gust of wind and sonic boom, and forcefully crashed down with great strength, causing the Bloodthirsty Demon Bear to bellow in pain and anger.
Seeing Liu Erlong holding her own against two without falling behind.
"Roar!"
The Blazing Demon Lion King, surrounded by intense flames, was about to join the fray when Luo Yu stepped in to block it.
It opened its maw wide and spat out orange-red flames, scorching as they came.
Luo Yu didn't dodge or evade, standing there with his shoulders embraced, calmly facing the fiery ordeal.
Liu Erlong shouted a reminder, "The Lion King's specialty is fire; you can't take it head-on!"
"Don't mind me; you do your thing."
Luo Yu had just turned his head to speak when his body was instantly enveloped in the flames.
Liu Erlong's eyes showed urgency. That man was being too careless. Even though the Lion King was the weakest of the three beasts, that was its life flame.
Clearly able to dodge, why the hell did he insist on taking it head-on!
The Blazing Demon Lion King's pupils showed contempt.
Its flames were something that even soul beasts of the same level wouldn't dare to face directly. This human was clearly courting death. Just wait; within a few seconds, he'll turn into char.
Suddenly, Luo Yu emerged from the scorching orange-red flames unscathed.
The Lion King's pupils shrank. Its fire didn't work?
Liu Erlong, who had been keeping a watch from the corner of her eye, was equally shaken, her gaze filled with astonishment.
This man isn't afraid of fire?
"My turn now."
Luo Yu's expression was calm; resisting fire was a basic move for him.
His eyes locked onto the Lion King, flashing with a hint of cold light.
"Second Soul Skill: Dragon God Trample!"
"Aaoong!"
The sound of a dragon's chant rose as divine light burst forth.
The man's legs manifested two nine-colored dragons, exploding with the incredible power of qi and blood. He soared high into the sky and stomped violently toward the Blazing Demon Lion King.
The Lion King, seeing that things were amiss, frantically dashed to escape.
However, Luo Yu transformed into a streak of light, moving at an extreme speed.
With one stomp, he struck the top of its head. The three-thousand-year-old Blazing Demon Lion King was thoroughly restrained by Luo Yu, its flames ineffectual, and its head instantly shattered.
The students, including Huang Yuan, stood with their mouths agape as if they could swallow duck eggs.
"This... this is too terrifying, isn't it?"
"A three-thousand-year soul beast, kicked to pieces with a single stomp?"
Liu Erlong was too shocked for words. I only meant to have him delay the Lion King for me.
But he directly took it down for me?
How monstrous is that?
