Yueguan furrowed his brow, "But, it won't be easy to encounter these abyssal creatures again after this!"

He still wanted to join forces with Gui Mei to capture these two abyssal creatures and bring them back to Martial Soul City!

However, Gui Mei, looking directly at him, still firmly maintained his stance...

"Yueguan, I have battled with these abyssal creatures, their recovery ability is too terrifying, it's impossible to kill them!"

"If we stay here, we might all perish!!"

Seeing this unwavering gaze, Yueguan took a deep breath and nodded, "I understand!!"

With that said, the sixth soul ring at his feet lit up...

"Sixth Soul Skill, Golden Pistil Flowing Rosy Clouds!!"

Visible to the naked eye, the petals of the mystic heaven chrysanthemum beneath his feet rapidly split apart, piling towards the center...

When it finally reached saturation and could no longer contain itself, it burst forth with overwhelming momentum, causing all petals to emit a piercing whistling sound as they swept ferociously towards the abyssal creatures in front of them...

In the face of these petal attacks, the abyssal creatures displayed a disdainful expression in their eyes, not even attempting to dodge...

"Sizzle sizzle sizzle!!"

And so, the petals struck their enormous and hard bodies, furiously slashing...

Yet, they could not breach any further...

One of the abyssal creatures waved its huge hand, knocking down the petals of the mystic heaven chrysanthemum, mocking, "Humans, is this all you've got? How weak!!"

The other abyssal creature chose to outright ignore the attack, speaking in a chilly tone, "Hmph, such low-level attacks, it's impossible to even wound us, you might as well stay put and await being devoured!"

Yueguan's mouth gaped open, "Wha... what? My sixth soul skill can't even break through their physical defense, such monsters!!"

Now it seemed, just how powerful was that expert who had consecutively slain several abyssal creatures within Martial Soul City, to be able to kill them in one strike!

At this moment, Gui Mei's face grew even paler, he couldn't help but remind, "Yueguan, don't space out, think of a way to trap them, I can't keep my soul power up much longer!!"

As he said, the Ghost Gate that had been binding the abyssal creatures, due to the lack of soul power, was beginning to collapse, showing signs of falling apart...

Hearing this, Yueguan snapped back to reality...

No more hesitation, it was time to escape from here!!

Having said that, he used his third soul skill once again...

Breath Barrier!!

The golden light from the mystic heaven chrysanthemum grew even more intense, releasing a powerful aura that enveloped the entire area, any creature within its range felt a certain level of suppression...

The abyssal creatures, feeling highly displeased, couldn't help but berate, "Humans, you only use such dirty tricks. If you dare, face me head-on. Watch as I blast you to pieces!"

Having said that, they exerted their full strength, shattering the already faltering Ghost Gate...

"Puh!"

Gui Mei, from behind, couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood...

Clearly, he had endured a great backlash!!

Seeing this, the anger in Yueguan's heart intensified, "Even mere beasts use taunts, but I am no fool, how could I possibly clash head-on with you!"

After speaking, he increased the input of his soul power...

In an instant, the abyssal creatures felt as though a mountain was pressed upon them, the immense pressure causing the ground to shatter with a loud crack, sinking several meters...

Only then did Yueguan turn his gaze towards Gui Mei, "Gui Mei, you're too heavily injured, leave first, I'll follow right behind!!"

Gui Mei, knowing staying here was pointless, immediately responded, "Alright, be very wary of their special abilities!!"

After speaking, he transformed into a ghostly shadow, blending into the darkness...

In just a few seconds, he had vanished from the spot...

```

Watching their prey escape, the two abyssal creatures could no longer contain their emotions…

"Damn it, to have let our prey escape, you must die!"

"I will slowly peel your skin, suck your blood, and gnaw on your tendons!"

Once their gaze locked onto Yueguan, they launched a frenzied attack on him…

The latter kept retreating backwards, dodging the oncoming attacks…

He thought to himself, "Enraged by humiliation? That's good, it can buy Lao Gui some time!!"

Although Gui Mei had left, his presence was still very obvious, which made it easy for the abyssal creatures to catch up!!

…

Deep inside the Aquipeia Forest,

Meng Yiran blinked her eyes curiously and asked, "Xu Sheng, what is your soul power rank now?"

They had been chatting during the journey, but it was just indifferent small talk!

She still had no clear idea of the other party's strength!

Xu Sheng showed a trace of apology, "Sorry, Yiran, regarding this, I must ask for your forgiveness as I cannot tell you!!"

Upon hearing this, Meng Yiran was not displeased but even felt flattered...

Because he had called her by her name directly, didn't that mean that their relationship had grown much closer…

With this thought, she quickly explained, "It's all right, it's all right, Xu Sheng, if you don't want to say, then don't!"

Seeing this, Meng Shu couldn't help but interject, "Young friend Xu Sheng, if we do not know your soul power rank, how can we hunt for a suitable soul beast for you?"

He had used his spiritual power to probe, but it felt like falling into an abyss with no response!

Generally speaking, only a Soul Master much stronger than oneself could do this!

But Xu Sheng was clearly not yet ten years old, making this completely implausible!

That meant he must possess an item capable of shielding his aura!

Chao Tianxiang immediately agreed, "Indeed, heading deeper aimlessly like this will likely waste a lot of time!"

Xu Sheng was at a loss for the moment…

After all, his purpose here was not to hunt soul beasts and absorb Soul Rings!

To continue weaving lies and head towards the core area could potentially put them in danger!

Considering this, he immediately spoke out, "My seniors, your willingness to accompany me this far has been more than enough"

"The area ahead is too dangerous, let's part ways here!"

Unsurprisingly, he was met with rejection...

"How can that be possible, you've after all saved Yiran's life, and we've promised to hunt a soul beast for you. How can we go back on our word?"

"Right, we, the Peerless Dragon-Snake Couple, are not people who renege on our promises. Rest assured, no matter how dangerous it is ahead, we will do our utmost to protect both Yiran and you!"

Xu Sheng didn't know how to rebut, "This…"

However, just at that moment, a very unique roar suddenly came from the soul beast forest surrounding them…

And following that, a strong sense of crisis arose…

Sensing something amiss, Meng Shu and Chao Tianxiang immediately protected Xu Sheng and Meng Yiran behind them, swiftly released their Martial Souls, and stared apprehensively at their surroundings…
