Stealing Ice and Fire (5)

Zang Xin managed to stabilize his body, but he frowned slightly. He could feel that Di Tian had not used his full strength, because he was worried about affecting Anping inside the shield. But even so, he had suffered a lot of damage.

He realized that Di Tian's current strength was formidable. He doubted that anyone could match him, except for Cao Dezhi. He understood that he might not be able to save the Ice and Fire Eyes this time.

He didn't even bother to call for backup from the Tang Sect. As an Limit Douluo, he was no match for Di Tian, and adding more ordinary soul masters would only result in more casualties. It would be a pointless sacrifice.

So he said, "Aren't you afraid of the Tang Sect's revenge if you do this? I don't know where you moved the Star Dou Forest, but there are plenty of soul beasts in the ocean. Can you move the ocean away too?"

Seeing that Zang Xin had given up on fighting, Di Tian also stopped attacking. He didn't want to cause too much commotion and disturb Anping and Gu Yuena's work.

He laughed mockingly when he heard Zang Xin's threat. "Are you out of your mind? Don't you remember that Tang San, the founder of the Tang Sect, became the Sea God? Most of the soul beasts in the ocean are his followers. How can you use them to threaten me?"

Zang Xin felt embarrassed when he heard Di Tian's words. He had only thought of threatening him in a moment of desperation. He had always thought that Di Tian hated soul masters for killing soul beasts indiscriminately. Now that the Star Dou Forest was gone, the only thing that could scare him was the ocean.

He had forgotten that the ocean soul beasts worshipped their founder, the Sea God Tang San. In fact, even if they didn't, Di Tian might not be afraid of them.

After all, when the Star Dou Forest soul beasts were forced to sign an unfair treaty with humans, the ocean soul beasts didn't come to their aid. Zang Xin's threat was useless against Di Tian.

But Zang Xin quickly thought of another question. He said, "If I remember correctly, Gu Yuena and the others are the incarnations of hundred-thousand-year soul beasts. And the hundred-thousand-year soul beasts had to transform before they reached the Soul Saint level. Did they ever go to the human world?"

"You may not know how advanced human soul guidance technology is now. I can tell you that as soon as they show up in human society, I can find them!"

"It's impossible for you to stay with them all the time, and even if you fierce beasts can, humans have so many Limit Douluos like me. Do you think you can really protect them?"

Zang Xin implied that Gu Yuena had not reached the Soul Saint level yet. If they appeared in the human world, they should beware of the Tang Sect's revenge.

He didn't realize that Anping was also a soul beast in disguise. He thought that soul beasts could only take animal forms. He didn't understand why Anping would associate with these soul beasts, or why Di Tian, who hated humans so much, would tolerate his presence.

Zang Xin couldn't understand why Di Tian valued Anping so much, even if he was just Gu Yuena's companion. He had no idea what their relationship was, but he didn't hesitate to use them as leverage against Di Tian.

He was confident that he could find Anping and Gu Yuena with the help of satellites. Their martial souls were very unique. He didn't know what kind of soul beast Gu Yuena had transformed from, but human-shaped martial souls were rare.

Anping's book martial soul was not uncommon, but few could cultivate it to such a high level. Zang Xin had heard of the ability to change the form of one's martial soul, but he didn't think Anping and Gu Yuena had it.

Di Tian was angry when he heard Zang Xin's threat, but he didn't worry about Anping and Gu Yuena's safety. He knew their abilities well. He said coldly, "What do you want?"

Zang Xin thought he had succeeded in intimidating Di Tian. He said, "If you leave the Ice and Fire Eyes here, I swear on my martial soul that the Tang Clan will not harm them, as long as you don't become our enemies in the future."

His main goal was to preserve the Ice and Fire Eyes, even if it meant making a temporary truce with the Tang Sect's old foes in Star Luo Continent. He only promised that the Tang Clan would not act against them, but he didn't mention Shrek Academy or Haotian Sect.

"Di Tian, come back. We should leave." Anping's voice came from the light shield. Di Tian ignored Zang Xin and retreated into the shield. The passage that only allowed one person to pass vanished as soon as Di Tian entered.

A huge light gate appeared on the other side of the valley. It was not as impressive as the one in the Star Dou Forest, but Zang Xin knew what it meant. He had seen the satellite images of the Star Dou Forest disappearing shortly after the light gate opened.

Zang Xin frowned at the sudden appearance of the light gate. It had happened too fast this time. He had informed Cao Dezhi when he was fighting Di Tian. He expected Cao Dezhi to arrive soon. Together, they might have a chance against Di Tian.

But he didn't expect his threat to be useless, and the speed of transferring the Ice and Fire Eyes to be much faster than the Star Dou Forest.

He realized that he might lose the Ice and Fire Eyes this time, but he refused to give up. He raised his sword and gathered his energy again. Unlike before, he used his martial soul avatar this time. A huge energy sword formed in the sky. His target was not the silver light shield, but the light gate.

However, he was puzzled when he saw that Di Tian and the others inside the shield didn't react at all. He didn't know why they let him do as he pleased, but he didn't stop his attack.

He pointed his sword at the light gate, and the huge energy sword slashed towards it. But he was shocked by what happened next. His attack hit nothing but air and landed on the silver light shield.

The light gate seemed to exist outside of this space, and Zang Xin's attack had no effect on it. He was shocked to see that his blow, which could rip apart the fabric of reality, only made ripples on the silver shield when it hit it.

Zang Xin felt his attack being absorbed by the silver light shield. He was utterly helpless. Even if Cao Dezhi arrived now, it would be too late.

He watched in despair as the Ice and Fire Eyes slowly faded from his sight, until they vanished completely like the Star Dou Forest had before.
