Chapter 217 Emperor Tian: How come the Lord's Achilles' heel is on him?!
Di Tian glanced at the auspicious beast hiding behind the Crimson King.
The tiny figure was cautiously peeking out half its head, secretly watching the four humans opposite it.
Di Tian had always treated the auspicious beast as his daughter, and now that his daughter had been bullied, he naturally wouldn't let it go.
However, as the Beast God, he had to consider the interests of the entire Soul Beast race.
The relationship between the Star Dou Great Forest and the human world has always been in a delicate balance.
Going to war will benefit no one.
Shrek Academy is no ordinary force; it has a foundation spanning ten thousand years and is protected by many powerful individuals.
If relations truly break down, the Soul Beast race will also pay a heavy price.
Therefore, he did not actually intend to kill the four humans in front of him.
So he decided to punish them a little to teach them a lesson and show them that even spirit beasts cannot be bullied at will.
Then, an even more powerful aura emanated from Di Tian.
The aura no longer enveloped the entire world aimlessly as before, but was precisely controlled and concentrated on the four humans below.
Like four invisible mountains, they pressed down on their shoulders and chests, making it almost impossible for them to breathe.
All four of them instantly felt a surge of pressure, with Xuanzi feeling as if he were facing a formidable enemy.
Seeing that things were not going well, he thought that Di Tian was really going to make a move.
His soul power was surging wildly within him, ready to soar into the sky and fight Di Tian to the death.
But at that moment, something unexpected happened.
Under the powerful aura of Di Tian, Huo Yuhao suddenly experienced an unusual fluctuation.
Then, a seven-colored light shot out from his forehead, dazzling and bright, like a rainbow bursting from the darkness, instantly illuminating the entire forest.
It was a scale that appeared to be silvery-white, but it also had iridescent light flowing across it.
It hovered quietly above Huo Yuhao's head, radiating a soft and mysterious light, protecting him.
The moment this scale appeared, the overwhelming aura that the four had previously sensed vanished instantly.
Huo Yuhao raised his head and looked at the "True Dragon's Reverse Scale" that Gu Yue had given him.
He never expected that before his life was even threatened, this dragon's reverse scale would "protect its master on its own."
In mid-air, Di Tian's expression, which had always been aloof and arrogant, changed.
For the first time, a flicker of emotion appeared on that resolute face.
His brows furrowed slightly, and a hint of disbelief flashed in his normally cold, golden vertical pupils.
His gaze was fixed on the scale atop Huo Yuhao's head, his eyes filled with shock and confusion.
Di Tian immediately withdrew his aura, and his entire body vanished into thin air in an instant.
Almost simultaneously, another person appeared in front of Huo Yuhao—it was Di Tian!
Di Tian's sudden approach made Xuan Zi's heart skip a beat again. His soul power surged wildly as he immediately stepped forward.
But Di Tian had no time to pay attention to him. He didn't even glance at Xuan Zi before throwing a punch.
This punch seemed to transcend the distance of space, landing directly on Xuanzi, who was several meters away.
Caught off guard, Xuanzi was sent flying over a hundred meters away by this punch.
His body flew backward like a kite with a broken string, crashing into several thick ancient trees before finally coming to a stop.
If it weren't for the Taotie Divine Ox Martial Soul's thick skin and tough flesh, this seemingly simple punch would have been enough to seriously injure him.
Even so, Xuanzi's blood was churning, and a trace of blood spilled from the corner of his mouth.
Xian Lin'er and Wang Dong watched Di Tian warily, fearing that he might suddenly make a move, but they dared not make any rash decisions.
Di Tian's punch just now has already proven the gap between them.
Even Elder Xuan couldn't stop them, let alone the rest of them.
Di Tian's gaze remained fixed on the scale atop Huo Yuhao's head.
Sensing the undisguised aura emanating from it, Di Tian was now filled with doubt.
"How could the Lord's Achilles' heel have fallen into the hands of humans?"
"And this reverse scale has even recognized a master? It's actually protecting this human?!"
He simply couldn't understand it!
Huo Yuhao looked at Di Tian, who was so close at hand, and even though he had a trump card in his hand, he couldn't help but feel nervous.
He thought it was normal for Di Tian, being a member of the dragon race, to be interested in the reverse scale of a true dragon.
At this moment, Xuanzi had already rushed back from a hundred meters away.
However, this time he did not attack directly, but instead shouted, "Di Tian, does your Star Dou want to go to war with humanity?"
Now the situation has reversed; what the Crimson King said before is now being said by Xuanzi.
Ultimately, it comes down to a lack of strength, so they can only resort to verbal threats.
If he could defeat Di Tian, he would have already made his move; why waste time talking here?
Di Tian glanced at Xuan Zi, a slight sneer playing on his lips: "You don't represent humanity."
Xuanzi snorted: "Even if it doesn't represent all of humanity, the wrath of Shrek Academy is not so easy to bear. Don't forget the old story of the Body Sect."
Di Tian would naturally not forget that incident. A hundred years ago, more than forty powerful members of the Body Sect broke into the Star Dou Great Forest and hunted down seven 100,000-year-old soul beasts.
Xuanzi was reminding Di Tian that what the Body Sect could do, Shrek Academy could also do.
Di Tian glanced at Xuan Zi and said calmly, "I can let you leave."
Upon hearing this, Xuanzi was overjoyed, thinking that his threat had worked.
He was about to say something, but Di Tian's next words made his heart sink to the bottom.
"However..." Di Tian shifted his gaze from Xuan Zi to the young man in front of him, "I want to take him with me."
At this moment, Di Tian was looking at Huo Yuhao in front of him.
"No!"
Wang Dong, who was standing next to Huo Yuhao, immediately stepped forward.
Her body trembled slightly, her eyes filled with fear—an instinctive reaction to Di Tian's irresistible pressure.
But she still stared straight into those golden vertical pupils, biting her lip, and uttered those two words.
Xuanzi echoed in a deep voice, "Yuhao is the future and hope of Shrek Academy; you cannot take him away."
Di Tian snorted, his gaze sweeping over Wang Dong and then over Xuan Zi: "He... I must take him away. You have neither the right nor the strength to negotiate with me."
He wanted to bring Huo Yuhao back to the Lake of Life in the core circle and ask the Lord to meet the young man in person.
He needed to figure out why the Lord's Achilles' heel was on this human, why he recognized him as his master, and why he protected him.
Di Tian looked at Xuan Zi, his voice filled with icy killing intent: "If you want to stop me, I don't mind killing you first."
Feeling the palpable killing intent emanating from Di Tian, Xuan Zi's breathing became rapid.
He didn't understand why the other party was so fixated on Huo Yuhao.
He kept thinking of ways to break the deadlock, but in the face of absolute power, all his plans were in vain.
At this moment, Huo Yuhao suddenly spoke up.
He looked at Di Tian and asked, "Senior Di Tian, you're not here to take my life, are you?"
Huo Yuhao did not sense any killing intent from Di Tian.
Moreover, if Di Tian really wanted to kill him, there was no need to take him away; he could have done it now.
Di Tian looked at Huo Yuhao, a hint of surprise flashing in his golden vertical pupils.
He hadn't expected the boy to be so calm.
"I have no interest in your life, I just want to figure some things out."
Huo Yuhao thought for a moment, then looked up at Di Tian and said, "Alright, Senior Di Tian, release the others, I'll go back with you!"
