Chapter 65: Chapter 65: The Dragon-Snake Strike!
Yun Feng had been cautious of the Titan Giant Ape's speed, but he still underestimated the sheer power of this forest king.
Its massive body surged forward with incredible velocity, like a mountain crashing down, leaving everyone breathless and suffocated under its oppressive might. The air grew tense, and time seemed to freeze.
Yun Feng's heartbeat raced as he realized this attack was far beyond what he could withstand.
At this life-and-death moment, the voice of Ah Yin surged through his mind, delivering a powerful spiritual wave that snapped his consciousness back to reality.
Ah Yin's alarm system proved effective, urging Yun Feng to act swiftly. He knew that if this strike landed, many lives would be lost, possibly even his own.
Unfolding his spirit, Yun Feng's soul rings glowed brilliantly around him. His crimson wings unfurled from his back like a pair of massive, fiery butterflies, propelling him toward Xiao Wu.
He knew staying near Xiao Wu was his safest bet. Her presence was the key to mitigating the forest king's rage.
In a flash, Yun Feng soared through the air in a graceful arc, determined to protect those nearby. He reached Xiao Wu and swiftly pulled her close, along with Zhu Zhuqing.
Catching sight of Ning Rongrong and Meng Yiran in the periphery, Yun Feng didn't hesitate to pull them along, his wings beating furiously as he retreated from the battlefield.
His heart burned with responsibility. He couldn't allow harm to come to anyone.
Yun Feng's incredible speed caught the Titan Giant Ape's attention. The beast briefly shifted its focus toward Xiao Wu's direction, sparing Yun Feng's group from becoming its primary target for now.
However, Yun Feng's motives weren't purely altruistic. He believed these women could still prove useful to him, especially in a world like Douluo Continent, where emotions often cloud judgment, making people easier to manipulate.
Meanwhile, Tang San and the others noticed Yun Feng's actions but had no time to analyze them.
Tang San quickly devised a plan, using his hidden weapons to dig a massive pit. He calculated that the Titan Giant Ape's massive body, despite its size, would have limited impact if its attack landed on an uneven surface.
The others caught on and hurriedly expanded the pit, following Tang San's lead.
Moments later, the Titan Giant Ape descended, its colossal form shaking the earth.
However, instead of a direct impact, the beast's landing generated a powerful shockwave that rippled through the forest, stunning everyone.
Despite avoiding direct harm, the force of the shockwave flung Yun Feng and his group into the air.
The Titan Giant Ape reached out with its massive hand and effortlessly captured Yun Feng, Ning Rongrong, Zhu Zhuqing, and Meng Yiran in one swoop.
While everyone else was gripped by terror, Yun Feng couldn't hide a smirk. His plan was unfolding perfectly—so long as he remained near Xiao Wu, his safety was almost guaranteed.
Meng Shu and Chao Tianxiang, seeing their granddaughter and Yun Feng captured, grew frantic.
Ignoring their injuries, they unleashed a deafening roar of defiance. Their soul rings shone with unprecedented brilliance, illuminating the dark forest.
"Dragon-Snake Strike!"
The Dragon Staff and Snake Blade fused together, their combined power manifesting as a radiant blue-gold dragon that charged directly at the Titan Giant Ape.
The beast observed the attack, unperturbed. It reached out a massive hand, catching the ethereal dragon mid-air. With casual disdain, it hurled the dragon aside, smashing it repeatedly against the ground.
Seeing this, Zhao Wuji roared, unwilling to stand idly by. His seventh soul ring erupted with a deep, ominous black glow.
The surge of energy enveloped Zhao Wuji, transforming his body. His muscles swelled like inflating balloons, and his stature grew to over five meters. His fur thickened and turned a radiant golden hue as he assumed the true form of his spirit, the Vigorous Vajra Bear.
The Spirit Avatar was a hallmark of spirit masters who had reached the seventy-level threshold, a power that could turn the tide in desperate battles.
With his transformation complete, Zhao Wuji charged at the Titan Giant Ape, his enhanced defense and strength serving as his final hope against the overwhelming power before him.
Not to be outdone, Meng Shu and Chao Tianxiang activated their own Spirit Avatars, their black soul rings radiating blinding light.
The blue-gold dragon they conjured roared back to life, twisting and turning with renewed ferocity as it lunged for the Titan Giant Ape once more.
Despite the dragon's intensified strength, the Titan Giant Ape remained unfazed. Its colossal hands intercepted the dragon with ease, crushing its energy.
Tang San, observing the chaos, seized the moment to unleash a barrage of hidden weapons aimed at the beast's eyes.
Ding, ding, ding…
The concealed weapons struck the Titan Giant Ape's eyelids but failed to penetrate its thick hide.
The beast straightened its massive frame, its gaze locking onto Yun Feng and the others. It raised its other arm to swat at Zhao Wuji, who had fearlessly charged forward in his bear form.
The collision produced a deafening boom, sending shockwaves rippling through the forest.
Zhao Wuji's enhanced defense barely allowed him to hold his ground, but it was clear he was outmatched.
The Titan Giant Ape let out a thunderous roar, shaking the very ground beneath their feet. As its overwhelming energy surged, even Meng Shu and Chao Tianxiang struggled to withstand the oppressive aura.
Their spirit avatars flickered, their energy draining rapidly as they desperately tried to hold the beast at bay.
Despite their combined efforts, the Titan Giant Ape remained an unstoppable force, its rage growing with each passing moment.
It was clear to
everyone present—they were fighting a losing battle against the king of the forest.
