Chapter 128: "Rise, My Love!" Luring the Titan Giant Ape!
"This soul skill can become my trump card from now on."
Zhu Zhuqing thought happily.
Suddenly, she turned her head to look at Yue Guan and Gui Mei beside her, whose shock had yet to fade, her gaze sharp as a blade:
"Two seniors, you wouldn't reveal my secret to Her Holiness the Pope, would you?"
"What secret?"
Yue Guan came back to his senses and asked with a blank expression, "Your Highness, please clarify. We don't understand."
"It's nothing. Let's go; prepare to hunt the Titan Giant Ape."
Zhu Zhuqing spoke casually yet moved at great speed toward the outer region of the Star Dou Great Forest.
"Your Highness, isn't that the wrong direction?"
Yue Guan was startled and quickly followed. "Didn't you say we're hunting the Titan Giant Ape? Why are you leading us outward?"
"The Titan Giant Ape lives in the core area. The further out we go, the less likely we are to encounter it!"
"The inside is too dangerous. The outside is the best place to hunt the Titan Giant Ape."
Zhu Zhuqing's tone was calm, offering no further explanation.
Her steps did not stop; she clearly already had a plan.
"…"
Yue Guan and Gui Mei exchanged glances.
Though full of doubts, they did not ask further.
After walking for about half an hour, Zhu Zhuqing finally stopped.
Before them was an open clearing, with sparse trees around and excellent visibility.
It was suitable for battle and also prevented sneak attacks from other soul beasts.
"Rest for the night. We'll prepare to hunt tomorrow."
She waved her hand, releasing Ning Rongrong, who had been staying inside the soul tool.
Another sunny afternoon.
"Two seniors, please retreat to a distance and protect Rongrong."
"Understood!"
Hearing her instruction, Yue Guan and Gui Mei retreated to the edge of the clearing with Ning Rongrong.
As for Zhu Zhuqing, she walked alone to the center of the clearing.
"Hell Spirit Cat, possess!"
After completing her martial soul possession, she stood quietly, waiting for Bai Lu to take over her body.
Inside the spiritual sea:
"Little rabbit, you've rested for so many days. It's time to stretch a bit."
Bai Lu stood up and looked at Xiao Wu, who had already recovered her human form, possessing breathtaking beauty:
"I'll reward you with some fresh air today. How about helping me with a small favor?"
Hearing this, a sense of foreboding instantly rose in Xiao Wu's heart.
She clutched the corner of her clothes and asked softly:
"H-help with what?"
"I'm already dead… I definitely can't help you!"
"Relax, it's very simple for you."
A playful smile curved at the corner of Bai Lu's lips:
"You've been dead for so long. You must miss your friends, right?"
"W-what are you trying to say?"
Xiao Wu's eyes flickered, becoming even more vigilant.
"Nothing much. Just giving you an opportunity."
Bai Lu stood up and walked toward Xiao Wu step by step:
"Release your unique aura, call your good friend the Titan Giant Ape over, and let you reunite in the spiritual sea."
"No! Don't! I don't know any Titan Giant Ape at all!"
"I'm not close with it. No matter what I do, it won't come looking for me!"
Hearing this, Xiao Wu's face instantly turned pale as she retreated again and again.
Her eyes were filled with fear and resistance.
She knew the Titan Giant Ape's temperament all too well.
If she released her aura, Er Ming would definitely rush over at top speed.
At that time, this evil tiger before her and Zhu Zhuqing would absolutely not let Er Ming go!
"I don't care whether you know it or not. Today, I will let you have a proper reunion!"
The smile on Bai Lu's face instantly vanished.
"Enough nonsense. Come here!"
Before his words even fell, he grabbed at Xiao Wu from afar, then tossed and pressed her down.
He directly stuffed her soul into that 100,000-year soul ring.
After doing all this, Bai Lu immediately took control.
"Hell Spirit Cat Clone!"
The blood-red 100,000-year soul ring beneath Bai Lu lit up instantly.
At this moment, he couldn't help but shout that classic line in his heart—
'Rise, my lover!'
With a flash of light, the Hell Spirit Cat Clone appeared brilliantly.
But this time, the Hell Spirit Cat Clone was not in Zhu Zhuqing's form.
Instead, it was a slender woman—
"Xiao Wu?!"
Seeing this figure, Ning Rongrong's pupils shrank.
She never expected to see Xiao Wu again in this way!
And it was even a "scaled-up" version of Xiao Wu!
The Xiao Wu who appeared in the outside world had eyes full of fear and helplessness.
Hearing Ning Rongrong's voice, she seemed to find a lifeline.
"Rongrong?! Hurry, save—"
"Less talking, more doing!"
Bai Lu cast a cold glance and pressed his hand down. Xiao Wu instantly became obedient.
Under Bai Lu's control, Xiao Wu's unique aura was immediately released.
Time passed second by second, and the clearing remained silent.
"What is the Saintess doing?"
"Who is that woman?"
Yue Guan and Gui Mei stared closely, their eyes filled with confusion.
Relying on the aura of a mysterious woman to lure out the Titan Giant Ape?
That sounded like a joke.
"Thump… thump…"
Suddenly, the ground began to tremble violently.
A rumbling sound echoed endlessly as surrounding trees toppled and rocks tumbled.
A terrifying pressure was rapidly approaching!
"Roar—!"
A deafening roar of excitement resounded through the forest, shaking eardrums.
Immediately after, the Titan Giant Ape came rushing from the direction of the core area in a hurry.
It knocked down trees and appeared in the clearing.
Its entire body was pitch black, its enormous size like a small mountain.
Just standing there made one feel the heaviness of the earth.
"Roar~"
Sister Xiao Wu! It's been so long! Did you miss me!?
As soon as the roar ended, when the Titan Giant Ape saw the scene before it, it froze in place.
The Xiao Wu it had been longing for was actually being controlled by a Hell Spirit Cat girl.
And not far away stood two Titled Douluo with terrifying auras, staring at it coldly!
Xiao Wu was about to shout:
"Er Ming, run—"
Before the word "run" could leave her mouth, her figure instantly changed.
Her soul was thrown back into the spiritual sea, and the Hell Spirit Cat Clone returned to its original form.
"ROAR—!"
The Titan Giant Ape sensed something was wrong and immediately flew into a rage.
The excitement on its face instantly turned into ferocity.
"Boom!"
A violent aura erupted from its body.
In terms of pressure, it was not weaker than that of a Rank 95 Super Douluo!
"What did you… do to… Sister Xiao Wu?!"
The Titan Giant Ape stared fixedly at Zhu Zhuqing, who was controlled by Bai Lu, its voice hoarse and furious.
It disliked human speech and rarely spoke.
But at this moment, because of Xiao Wu, it was forced to speak in human language out of urgency!
"What I did is not important."
Bai Lu's tone was calm, his eyes completely indifferent:
"What matters is what you are willing to do for her."
"As long as you willingly offer yourself in sacrifice to me, I am willing to give you a chance."
"A chance for you to see Xiao Wu again and reunite with her."
As he spoke, Bai Lu's body lit up, switching forms rapidly twice.
Killing intent erupted, and golden light flashed.
White Tiger Killing God Transformation and White Tiger Vajra Transformation were activated simultaneously!
His aura surged explosively!
