As these words were spoken, the other three students' eyes shimmered with intense fear, and one of them said with a trembling voice, "Wha... What? A... a ferocious beast?"
Another one was extremely anxious, "Run... Quick, run!"
Wang Yao cursed to himself, "Damn, my luck can't be this bad. I just absorbed a Soul Ring, am I really going to die now?"
Xuan Ziwen bellowed, "Stop talking nonsense, everyone activate your flying soul devices and get out of here fast!"
The next moment, after hearing Xuan Ziwen's words, everyone, including Qian Yu, quickly activated the flying soul devices on them...
The six began to slowly levitate off the ground...
But then, something hopeless happened...
In front of their eyes, a slightly tall figure slowly became visible...
She had long emerald-green hair flowing down her back, eyes of the same vibrant green, and a lithe figure. Her elegant dark green clothes covered her exposed fair body, and her smooth arms, as flawless as warm jade, made one marvel in awe!
Not only that, but there was also a pair of wings on her back, wings that looked like they were carved from gems, with countless feathers nestled within them, emanating a strong presence of life...
Then, her thin lips slowly parted, and a cold voice emanated, "Humans, you are too greedy!"
Xuan Ziwen sized up Bi Ji, his pupils shrinking in horror, "Thi... This is one of the top ten ferocious beasts, Bi Ji! The Clan Leader of the Emerald Swan! It's rumored she possesses a terrifying Cultivation Level of at least 400,000 years!"
One of the students, filled with hope, said, "Escape now, while you can!"
These words snapped Xuan Ziwen and the others back to reality, and they hurriedly fed their soul power into the flying soul devices to rise further...
Bi Ji said coldly, "Escape! Can you really escape?"
The next moment, she unleashed an intense pressure from her body, which blasted outwards...
When it touched them, the flying soul devices on their bodies couldn't withstand the pressure and began to crack bit by bit...
"Crack... Bang!"
The flying soul devices completely shattered, and the six plummeted downwards...
Qian Yu, seeing Juzi lose her balance, quickly grabbed her, ensuring they both landed steadily on the ground...
He then set his grave gaze on Bi Ji and thought to himself, "We're in trouble now! The Cultivation Level of this soul beast is definitely much more than 400,000 years!"
If they were to fight, everyone except for him would likely die!
In this situation, even a Level Ten Defense Soul Guidance Device would be useless!
As the others landed, their legs trembling, they looked at the massive creature in front of them!
Xuan Ziwen pushed up his glasses, resisting the intense oppression, and bowed, "Respected Forest Master, we did not intend to anger you, please let us live!"
Even his Title Douluo rank stood no chance against this ferocious beast!
Seeing Xuan Ziwen speak thus, the other male students also bowed in agreement, "Exactly, exactly, Forest Master, please spare our lives! We had no intention to provoke you!"
"Forest Master, you are mighty and merciful, please grant us a way to survive!"
Juzi looked towards Qian Yu, a hint of dimness in her eyes, and with a clenched fist, she sighed, "Qian Yu, it seems our luck isn't that good"
Facing a beast of this caliber, they had virtually no chance of survival!
But what she found most unacceptable was that she hadn't yet dismantled the Xingluo Empire.
Qian Yu turned his gaze to Juzi, "Hmm! Are you scared?"
Juzi shook her head, teeth clenched, "I'm just angry that I didn't manage to destroy the Xingluo Empire before..."
Qian Yu pursed his lips and contemplated while looking at Bi Ji, "Although this Bi Ji's Cultivation Level is high, her aggressive power doesn't seem very strong!"
Bi Ji, hearing Xuan Ziwen and the others' words, responded disdainfully, "Unintentional? Your presence in the Aquipeia Forest to hunt soul beasts is a provocation to me, and moreover, you use those despicable weapons!"
She once advocated for harmony between soul beasts and Soul Masters, but as time went on, she had long lost faith in Soul Masters...
If they just needed Soul Rings, they could have absorbed those from soul beasts on the brink of death...
But now, using that bizarre weapon to massacre soul beasts on such a large scale, just to select the most suitable soul beast for oneself, requires the deaths of countless innocent soul beasts...
This is utterly intolerable!
Numerous green lights burst forth from Bi Ji, her tone icy as she said, "Humans, repent for the sins you have committed!"
The next moment, this terrifying green light surged toward the six people who seemed so insignificant in her eyes...
But suddenly, just as the attack was about to hit, a scorpion-like apparition appeared in front of Huo Yuhao; it was none other than the Ice Emperor, the Ice Jade Scorpion Emperor!
She called out urgently, "Bi Ji!"
Bi Ji, hearing this voice, her eyes suddenly shrank...
That voice...
In an instant, she stopped her ongoing attack...
While Xuan Ziwen and the other three students let out a sigh of relief as their racing hearts calmed down...
Their gazes were fixed on the apparition in front of Huo Yuhao...
Xuan Ziwen narrowed his eyes, secretly astounded, "This figure... it seems like it's the Ice Emperor, one of the ten great ferocious beasts!"
But the next moment, he shook his head, denying his own thought...
No, he must have seen it wrong!
How could the aura of the Ice Emperor be so weak...
Qian Yu and Juzi also looked toward the Ice Emperor, Juzi frowning and saying, "Qian Yu, what is this apparition?"
Qian Yu shook his head; he was also unclear...
A rare hint of confusion flickered across his deep, dark eyes...
...
Bi Ji exclaimed, "Are you... Ice? How could your power be so weak!!"
The Ice Emperor's faint apparition smiled slightly, glanced at Huo Yuhao, and said to Bi Ji, "I have now become his soul ring..."
Bi Ji's eyes gradually moistened, her gaze fixed on Huo Yuhao as a surge of intense killing intent emanated from her pupils...
"Human, I'm going to kill you!"
The Ice Emperor shook her head, "Bi Ji, this has nothing to do with him. My time was up; it was my own will to sacrifice myself to become his soul ring..."
At these words, Bi Ji's delicate body trembled, and she fell silent "..."
After a long pause, Bi Ji, sounding lost, said, "I see! What about your current state??"
If the Ice Emperor had indeed made the sacrifice, how could her consciousness still survive?
The Ice Emperor turned toward the empty air and said, "Skydream, please explain."
The apparition of the Skydream Ice Silkworm slowly appeared, speaking gravely, "Bi Ji, before I explain..."
Upon finishing, he gave Bi Ji a meaningful glance...
Bi Ji instantly understood, and the essence of her 580,000-year cultivation level poured forth, surging toward everyone but Huo Yuhao!
The shocked Xuan Ziwen and the three other students were instantly knocked unconscious by the impact...
Juzi cried out, looking at Xuan Ziwen who had fallen, "Teacher!"
However, the next moment, that surging force also headed toward her and Qian Yu...
Qian Yu, his expression cold, lightly tapped his wrist, and a massive white light shield suddenly appeared, perfectly blocking the oppressive impact from Bi Ji...
