Tang Wulin... Looking at the scales covering the opponent's right hand and the extending golden sharp blades, Shi Yu could basically confirm their identity.
His gaze was quickly drawn to the Soul Beast Tang Wulin and the others were facing, a dark gold colored bear.
"It's most likely the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear," Shi Yu thought. This bear was much taller and sturdier than Tang Wulin, like the difference between an adult and a seven or eight-year-old child.
Its dark gold fur wasn't soft; instead, it gave off a metallic feel. One might even think it was wearing dark gold armor.
Each of its front paws had five long, sharp blades, emitting a chilling glint. Just looking from a distance, one could feel its power.
The Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear was extremely powerful. Facing Tang Wulin, Gu Yue, plus two other Soul Masters, it could still take the initiative, seeming ready to finish them all off.
"This is what they call karma, right? Twenty thousand years ago, Senior wanted to snatch the Man-Faced Demon Spider's External Soul Bone from Shi Yu. If Shi Yu hadn't been lucky, Shi Yu would have already died."
"In the era of Dragon King Legend, Shi Yu actually encountered Senior's son who was about to obtain a Soul Bone."
"If Shi Yu doesn't snatch it away, how can Shi Yu be worthy of what Senior did to Shi Yu back then?" Shi Yu thought.
Having made a plan, Shi Yu would quietly act as a fisherman, waiting for them to kill the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear.
Anyway, this wasn't about absorbing a Soul Ring. It wasn't the case that whoever killed the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear would exclusively own the Soul Bone.
Shi Yu wouldn't feel the slightest burden about snatching from Tang Wulin. His father had almost killed Shi Yu, so wouldn't it be purely idiotic for Shi Yu to talk about benevolence and morality with him?
Shi Yu quietly observed, trying to lower his presence, and was ready to move over and snatch the Soul Bone at any time.
The battle over there had entered a heated stage. The pressure from the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear was immense, forcing Tang Wulin to take a risk.
His attempt was quite successful. He attacked the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear's weak point and, relying on the powerful might of his right hand's Golden Dragon Claw, delivered a fatal blow to the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear.
"Hoo... hoo... hoo..." Tang Wulin collapsed onto the ground, gasping for air, utterly exhausted and feeling the relief of surviving a disaster.
Gu Yue, Xu Xiaoyan, and Xie Xie were also very tired. This battle was won with great difficulty and was also quite lucky.
"What's that?" Xu Xiaoyan exclaimed first, pointing at the spot where the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear died.
The others looked over. After a Soul Beast died, it would simply turn into energy and enter the body of the killer. What other situation could there be?
They didn't pay attention at first, but when they looked now, they discovered something abnormal.
The dead Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear did not turn into pure energy and enter Tang Wulin's body.
Instead, a claw was left behind. After hovering for a moment, it dropped to the ground.
Tang Wulin was closest to the claw and was about to get up to pick it up.
He was already at the point where he could bend down and pick it up, when suddenly a hand reached out and picked up the claw from the ground ahead of him.
Tang Wulin was startled and quickly retreated a few steps, afraid of being suddenly attacked by the opponent.
Gu Yue, Xu Xiaoyan, and Xie Xie were also shocked. How did this person suddenly appear?
"Who are you? Why are you snatching our stuff?" Xu Xiaoyan said angrily.
Gu Yue frowned. The opponent's sudden appearance used Space abilities, yet she hadn't been able to sense it in advance. This Space ability was a bit too strong.
Thinking this, her eyes held more solemnity, but even more unfriendliness. This person was clearly here to snatch things.
Elemental attacks appeared one after another. At the same time, she used Space abilities to try and seal the Space, making it not so easy for this person to use Space abilities to leave.
The few of them cooperated tacitly and quickly surrounded Shi Yu, who had appeared there, looking at him with unfriendly expressions.
"This is something from the Spirit Transfer Pagoda. It doesn't belong to you," Shi Yu said with a light chuckle, tossing the Soul Bone in his hand.
Naturally, he was in a good mood. Such a simple Soul Bone was now in his hands.
"This is the spoils of war we obtained from killing the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear Soul Beast. If it doesn't belong to us, does it belong to you?" Tang Wulin said in a deep voice.
"Quickly put the item down, and we might still let you leave alive," Gu Yue warned.
Shi Yu glanced at Gu Yue, then looked at Tang Wulin: "This item might not necessarily belong to Shi Yu, but now that it's in Shi Yu's hands, Shi Yu naturally can't easily put it down for you."
"If you want to take the item back, let's speak with strength." After speaking, he was the first to attack, heavily striking out a palm towards Tang Wulin.
Tang Wulin was already on guard. Seeing the opponent strike a palm from a distance, he instinctively used his right hand's Golden Dragon Claw to block in front of him. This was the power he currently trusted the most.
Space power in front condensed into a large energy hand and slapped Tang Wulin's body. Even though he was prepared, he was sent flying directly. The impact force was astonishingly large.
"Wulin!" Gu Yue became anxious, and her gaze towards Shi Yu carried killing intent. Several elemental attacks came one after another, the offensive was fierce.
Xu Xiaoyan once again unleashed her control skill, and ice chains wrapped around Shi Yu, binding him.
Xie Xie moved very quickly, holding the Light Dragon Blade and transforming into an assassin, aiming to deliver a fatal blow to Shi Yu.
Facing numerous attacks, Shi Yu directly disappeared from the spot, causing them to lose their attack target.
"How is this possible?" Gu Yue even showed a look of shock. Before attacking, she had already been trying to affect the opponent's Space movement as much as possible. Why didn't it work?
Furthermore, the opponent's Naruto's Instant Transmission had no warning signs at all. This wasn't the effect of some Soul Skill, but rather seemed like a basic ability of his Martial Soul.
One of the basic abilities of a Martial Soul is actually Naruto's Instant Transmission?
Gu Yue was startled. This was something even her Martial Soul abilities didn't possess.
She could achieve Naruto's Instant Transmission, but she could absolutely not do it casually; it required preparation. This was two completely different concepts from the ability the opponent was currently displaying.
Xu Xiaoyan's ice chains missed, wrapping around the air.
Xie Xie stopped and looked left and right, trying hard to find Shi Yu's figure.
Tang Wulin had just stood up when he felt a crisis. He attacked forward purely based on instinct.
His right hand's Golden Dragon Claw carried destructive might, intending to destroy the person who might appear in front.
"That was to trick you," Shi Yu's voice sounded from behind Tang Wulin.
Tang Wulin's pupils constricted. What appeared in front of him was only rippling energy. This seemed to be a false attack illusion created by the opponent.
Tang Wulin was about to push off with his legs and charge forward, but before he could exert force, he felt a stinging pain from his back, and not just once.
Shi Yu, who appeared behind Tang Wulin, had grown eight spider legs on his back at some point. As he spoke, the eight spider legs also fiercely stabbed towards Tang Wulin's back, giving him no time to react or dodge.
Tang Wulin's body was different from ordinary people, with strong physique, but he still couldn't block the sharp Eight Spider Lances' attack. All eight spider legs pierced into his body, at varying depths.
The shallowest was only half a finger long, while the longest pierced halfway through his body.
"Ahhh!" Tang Wulin screamed in pain. The pain here was quite real; getting injured would hurt.
Although the pain had been greatly reduced, the pain of being pierced through was still somewhat unbearable.
"Wulin!" Gu Yue, Xie Xie, and Xu Xiaoyan's expressions changed drastically in horror.
The three of them were somewhat slow to react, mainly because Shi Yu was elusive, and didn't appear instantly after using Naruto's Instant Transmission, making their reactions seem a bit sluggish.
