"Boom!"
From the giant mushroom cloud in the sky, a pure Heavenly Dao purification force shot out, directly hitting the ball of light!
Instantly, a surge of powerful spiritual energy was felt, almost with extreme force, radiating light that illuminated all the demonic beasts... At the same time, with incredible speed, it healed the injuries of the recently wounded demonic beasts. This miraculous and unbelievable scene stunned everyone present!
If mere light possessed such potent healing abilities, what would happen if it were consumed... Would it grant immortality?!
At this moment, their desire for the bluish-white ball of light intensified! Their eyes, filled with excitement and fervor, were fixed on the object, yet they dared not approach due to the lingering fear of the recent thunderous strike...
The next second...
A figure swiftly flew upwards!
The demonic beasts sneered upon seeing Jin Bao'er's silhouette. They, with their tough bodies, had been struck down, while this mere cultivator was surely seeking her own demise!
However, before their disdain could fully register, the female cultivator directly pocketed the bluish-white ball of light into a box in her hand. The light vanished instantly!
This caused a surge of anger and shock among them! They all glared furiously at the figure who was now flying towards the cliff face...
Hu Qiu was momentarily stunned upon seeing Jin Bao'er, his expression then turning even more sinister! Coldness radiated from him.
"Human, hand over the treasure!"
In the ensuing silence, Hu Qiu's voice was exceptionally clear! Yet it was filled with murderous intent!
Jin Bao'er ignored him, her gaze falling on Kuang Hou, who was filled with excitement and joy. Her voice was calm as she asked,
"Where is my thing?"
Kuang Hou blinked, then realized what she meant, and quickly replied,
"The item is with the Lion clan! I will definitely give it to you!"
Jin Bao'er remained silent. It wasn't that she was overly suspicious; it was simply that there were too many untrustworthy people in the world, and demonic beasts were no different! What if she gave him the pill, and Kuang Hou reneged on his promise? A Heavenly Dao Emperor... she couldn't defeat him.
Seeing this, a hint of helplessness flickered in Kuang Hou's eyes! Having spent hundreds of years among cultivators, he roughly understood Jin Bao'er's concerns! He then said,
"I, Kuang Hou, swear that if Jin Bao'er helps me recover my strength, I will personally deliver the Great Dao Cornerstone! And I will never harm her! With this, I make a Heavenly Dao oath!"
This statement was uttered through ventriloquism, his voice hoarse yet solemn and serious! Though he had no tongue, every word was incredibly clear.
As soon as he finished speaking, a white glow with intricate patterns streaked across the ground beneath him and Jin Bao'er! The oath was established!
And under the Heavenly Dao oath, as long as he did not break through to the Great Dao pinnacle, he could never violate it for the rest of his life! This demonstrated the sincerity of his promise.
Jin Bao'er no longer hesitated, directly taking out a pill and stuffing it into his mouth. A bluish-white light flickered faintly, unseen by the distant demonic beasts.
Kuang Hou was momentarily startled by her action. His body showed no resistance whatsoever. By the time he reacted, the pill had already been swallowed...
A warm current surged from his abdomen to his entire body. He disregarded his surprise at his own reaction and quickly circulated his spiritual energy to regulate his breathing!
Meanwhile, Hu Qiu, standing nearby, was astonished again! He hadn't missed what the ugly-looking lion had said just now...
He said... Kuang Hou?!
There were no two lions with the same name in the Lion clan! Especially one who shared the name with the former Beast King! Coupled with the radiant light of the Heavenly Dao oath just now... there was no way the other party was lying!
This meant he was indeed the former Beast King, Kuang Hou!?
He suddenly came to his senses, realizing the implications of the oath and Jin Bao'er's actions! What else could he not understand?
Jin Bao'er and Kuang Hou appearing here was precisely to help Kuang Hou recover his strength! That green light cluster... was the treasure to restore his power!
With this thought, his face changed drastically. Disregarding everything else, he rushed forward, his oppressive aura suddenly descending. He raised his claw and aimed it at the figure who was currently regulating his breathing, faintly seeing the bluish-white spiritual energy overflowing around him...
That was pure spiritual energy of the wind attribute!
His face darkened. If he allowed the other party to fully absorb that item, his Tiger clan would definitively lose the position of Beast King!
His sharp claws aimed at Kuang Hou's abdomen, seemingly preparing to rip open his belly and extract the treasure! The sharp tip left a white streak in the air....org
The next second!
The entire world plunged into darkness!
Hu Qiu froze. A dangerous sensation, causing his hair to stand on end, swept over him from behind. He instinctively retracted his claws and attacked behind him, but struck empty air...
As his eyes widened for an instant, only one thought filled his mind!
This is... a Domain!?
A Heavenly Dao Domain skill, only possessed by human cultivators!
When the surroundings lit up again, a foot fiercely kicked him. He felt an intense stabbing pain in his abdomen, and his entire body was uncontrollably sent flying backwards...
At the same moment, golden light completely enveloped him!
In the eyes of the other demonic beasts, everything happened in the blink of an eye, incredibly fast! Hu Qiu was kicked back the moment he approached, too quickly to even react or turn his head, appearing sluggish.
Jin Bao'er remained by Kuang Hou's side, her expression indifferent, her aura calm! She had barely moved.
The only one happy in the entire scene was Kuang Su!
Because the golden bell that had been covering him finally disappeared! He was free!! Realizing this, he almost jumped with excitement!
The golden bell once again covered a demonic beast with Heavenly Dao Emperor cultivation. The bell felt immense grief and regret! This feeling of only being able to see but not consume was truly painful.
He mentally transmitted his thoughts to Jin Bao'er, wishing he could eat it again!
Jin Bao'er chuckled softly. The golden bell had covered Hu Qiu because she had controlled it herself just now! She hadn't really considered this issue.
A stream of cool spiritual energy washed over her. She turned her head to look! Only then did she realize that Kuang Hou beside her was already enveloped in bluish-white light! His aura was stable, and his oppressive power was gradually increasing...
Seeing this, she breathed a slight sigh of relief!
This proved that the pill's effect was as she had imagined!
Hu Qiu also witnessed this scene, his face turning ashen. He then commanded his Tiger clan subordinates,
"Kill him quickly! We absolutely cannot let him recover his strength!"
His enraged roar startled Kuang Su, who was still basking in the relief of his narrow escape. Upon seeing the light surrounding Kuang Hou, his expression also changed, and he commanded the other Lions,
"What are you waiting for! Stop him!"
The lions exchanged glances. They were all aware of the Lion clan's current predicament: the protective barrier was broken! The Lion clan leader's cultivation had declined! The Tiger clan was lurking, waiting for a fatal blow!
From their perspective... wouldn't the return of their Beast King be a good thing? They would be fools to rush forward and obstruct him.
Kuang Su also realized this, but he was more concerned about his own status and the consequences! Seeing this, he unhesitatingly charged forward with the Tigers...
In truth, he knew he could simply watch as the Tiger clan slaughtered Kuang Hou, thus avoiding any blame. However, he had a premonition! Those Tigers would not succeed! He had to kill this brother with his own hands.
