Chapter 255: My dinner tonight is your bear paw!
Seeing the Bear King's dark golden claws, powerful enough to split mountains and shatter rocks, fiercely clawing at the unconscious Tang Chuan with boundless rage, Xiao Ruier's face instantly turned deathly pale! Without the slightest hesitation, she didn't even have time to consider the consequences.
A resolute glint flashed in her eyes, and golden light burst forth from her body!
"Buzz—!"
The next moment, Xiao Ruier's human form vanished instantly.
In its place appeared a colossal beast over five meters long, covered entirely in brilliant golden fur, with a graceful and sacred form and vertical eyes on its forehead—the Emperor Auspicious Beast, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion! Letting out a low whimper, the Emperor Auspicious Beast unhesitatingly used its massive yet relatively fragile body to pounce on Tang Chuan, completely shielding him beneath its soft belly and chest!
Then, it used its back to directly face the Bear King's terrifying dark golden claws!
"Auspicious Beast! You...!"
This sudden turn of events caused even the enraged Bear King's expression to change drastically!
It never expected that the revered Emperor Auspicious Beast, considered a treasure by all soul beasts, would so disregard its own safety to favor and protect a human?!
In a flash, the Bear King's immense combat instincts allowed it to forcefully deflect its outstretched dark golden claws, attempting to avoid the auspicious beast's body.
However, its furious attack was incredibly powerful and swift.
Even with the Bear King's lightning-fast reaction, the edge of its incomparably sharp claws still managed a hissing sound, carving a deep, bone-revealing, several-foot-long, gruesome wound into the Emperor Auspicious Beast's dazzling golden back!
Instantly, golden blood gushed out, staining its magnificent fur crimson!
"Auspicious Beast! What...what do you mean by this?!"
Seeing this, Xiong Jun was both shocked and furious. Looking at the glaring wound on the auspicious beast's back, and its unwavering protection of the human beneath it even while injured, he roared in a fit of rage, "Why are you protecting a human?! Who is he? Why is he in this forbidden area?!"
Clearly, Xiong Jun knew nothing of the relationship between Tang Chuan and Xiao Ruier.
He was even less aware of why this human could appear in the core forbidden area of the Star Dou Great Forest, and why the auspicious beast would risk its life to protect him.
Just as Xiong Jun roared,
"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"
Several sharp whooshing sounds suddenly rang out!
Immediately afterward, several streaks of light, each a different color but radiating a terrifying aura, crashed down like meteors not far behind Xiong Jun.
The light faded, revealing four figures:
Di Tian, Bi Ji, the Ten Thousand Demon King, and the Crimson King.
Di Tian's gaze immediately fell upon the injured Imperial Beast and the Bear Lord, whose face was ashen and whose claws were still stained with golden blood.
The next second, his eyes turned icy cold. A pressure far more terrifying and profound than that of the Bear Lord erupted like a tangible force!
"Bear Lord! What have you done?!"
Di Tian's roar was like a dragon's cry from the heavens, shaking the entire cave.
Locked onto by Di Tian's murderous gaze, the Bear Lord's massive body trembled violently, its previous rage instantly replaced by boundless fear.
Its expression changed drastically, its massive maw opened wide, but it could only stammer,
"I...I..."
The next second, Di Tian gave Xiong Jun no chance to explain, and his right hand slowly rose.
As it rose, his palm underwent a terrifying transformation.
The skin of his arm was covered with jet-black scales, and his five fingers extended and curved into incomparably sharp claws, instantly transforming into a jet-black dragon claw that emitted a colorful halo!
Instantly, an overwhelming and irresistible fear swept over Xiong Jun's entire body!
He could clearly feel it.
This dragon claw was a truly terrifying existence capable of easily taking his life!
Dragon God Claw! This is the Dragon God Claw!
The moment Di Tian revealed this jet-black dragon claw, time seemed to freeze around them.
Even the once powerful Emerald Swan, the Three-Headed Crimson Demon Hound, and the Demon-Eyed Demon Tree, the Myriad Demon King, all became solemn, involuntarily kneeling on one knee and lowering their noble heads to express their deepest reverence and submission!
Before the Dragon God's Claw, representing the authority of the Dragon God, no soul beast dared to resist.
At this moment, Xiong Jun was completely terrified. He saw undisguised, intense killing intent in Di Tian's cold dragon eyes!
"Di Tian, Di Tian, no! I was wrong! Beast God, please hear my explanation, please forgive me!!" Xiong Jun wasn't stupid; having lived for hundreds of thousands of years, what could be more important than life? It immediately abandoned all dignity, wailing and begging for mercy.
Di Tian coldly stared at Xiong Jun, his voice as icy as ten thousand years of ice, saying,
"This isn't the first time. You've always made small moves behind my back, and I've never bothered with them."
"But today, you dare to attack a mythical beast! Do you really think I don't exist?"
As he spoke, his Dragon God Claw, imbued with the power of the Dragon God, rose and fell, carrying the will of judgment, aiming straight for Xiong Jun's head!
It seemed he intended to kill him on the spot!
"Di Tian, show mercy!" Bi Ji couldn't help but cry out in alarm.
Hearing Bi Ji's cry, Di Tian slightly deflected the Dragon God Claw aimed at Xiong Jun's head, and with a soft "thud," it viciously dug into Xiong Jun's muscular, incredibly defensive shoulder!
In an instant, the terrifying power of the Dragon God Claw was fully revealed!
"Aow—!"
A shrill, distorted scream suddenly erupted from Xiong Jun's mouth!
His massive, mountain-like body trembled violently as if he were having a seizure, his dark golden fur standing on end!
The Dragon God's Claw not only tore through Xiong Jun's flesh, but the trace of Dragon God's aura contained within it was also frantically eroding his very essence, bringing extreme pain to his soul!
Di Tian stared closely into Xiong Jun's eyes, which were now filled with boundless fear and pain, and coldly said, "I hope you can give me a reasonable explanation later. Otherwise, my dinner tonight will be your bear paw!"
As he spoke, he casually waved his left hand.
Xiong Jun's enormous, mountain-like body was flung through the air as if it were weightless, like a cannonball, crashing heavily into the distant, hard mountain wall!
In mid-air, streaks of pitch-black, destructive lightning erupted from Di Tian's claws, like countless tiny black blades, frantically cutting and tearing at its body!
"Awooo—!!!"
Xiong Jun's continuous, shrill screams filled the air.
Its prized, indestructible dark golden fur snapped and scattered in mid-air, revealing countless horrific wounds—deep enough to expose bone and tearing flesh—that covered its massive body. Golden beast blood rained down!
"Boom!"
Finally, the bear's mangled body slammed heavily against the mountainside, embedding itself in the rock with a dull thud. Debris rained down before its momentum finally ceased.
