Chapter 61: Capturing the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, Threatening Xiong Jun! Bloodline Resonance
The sudden appearance of the Three-Eyed Golden Lion gave Chu Chen a glimmer of hope. Although he didn't know why Xiong Jun appeared, it likely had something to do with the Three-Eyed Golden Lion!
It was impossible for Xiong Jun to let the rich Heaven and Earth Origin Qi within Tianmeng Ice Silkworm's body go unabsorbed, and it was equally impossible for him to specifically bring the Three-Eyed Golden Lion out for a walk.
The only explanation was that the Three-Eyed Golden Lion had run away secretly, and Xiong Jun was responsible for bringing the Auspicious Beast back. He happened to sense that the Sacred Fire Mane Lion had been killed, which was why he appeared here.
"Go ahead and attack. Before I die, I will sever the Luck of your Star Dou Great Forest."
"Xiong Jun, you cannot bear this responsibility!"
Chu Chen was not afraid at all of the terrifying aura erupting from Xiong Jun. In such a critical situation, he couldn't care whether others would wonder how he knew of Xiong Jun's existence.
"Human, you have quite the nerve."
Xiong Jun was furious. He didn't expect this human, whom he could crush at will, to be so bold.
More importantly, he knew the importance of the Auspicious Beast!
Chu Chen was right. If the Auspicious Beast were truly killed by a human while in his hands, he would have no way to survive and would be slain by Di Tian.
"Roar..."
The little fellow struggled incessantly in Chu Chen's hands, waving its paws. Currently, the Auspicious Beast only had about five thousand years of cultivation. Even with its special abilities, it had no power to resist before a well-prepared Chu Chen.
"Xiong Jun, let us leave. After I leave the Star Dou Great Forest, I will return the Auspicious Beast."
Chu Chen shouted. He knew Xiong Jun didn't dare to gamble.
He couldn't afford to take that responsibility!
"Human, do you take me for a fool?"
Within Xiong Jun's violent pupils, blood-colored light surged. An invisible aura erupted, and some distant Soul Beasts also began to draw closer to this place.
He certainly didn't intend to let Chu Chen and the others leave, but he also couldn't let anything happen to the Auspicious Beast...
"Go ahead and try then."
Chu Chen gritted his teeth. The Life Deprivation Magnetic Field bloomed, causing the Three-Eyed Golden Lion immense pain. Xiong Jun's face changed as he sensed the Auspicious Beast's condition.
"Fine, I agree... But return the Auspicious Beast to me, and I will let you go."
Xiong Jun eventually compromised. He truly couldn't bear the consequences of the Auspicious Beast's death, nor could he withstand Di Tian's wrath. If the Auspicious Beast died in his hands, he would become a sinner of the Soul Beast Clan.
"Do you also take me for a fool?"
Chu Chen retorted coldly. At this moment, Qian Renxue successfully absorbed her seventh Soul Ring.
After sensing Xiong Jun's terrifying aura, Qian Renxue's expression also changed. She came behind Chu Chen. Seeing this, Chu Chen whispered, "We retreat. Find a chance to leave."
Holding the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, he led everyone in a slow retreat.
Xiong Jun watched with gnashing teeth but was powerless to do anything.
The Auspicious Beast was simply too important.
Not a single mistake could be allowed.
"Human..." Xiong Jun was fuming with rage, his dark gold fur flowing with the aura of Chaos. In his state of fury, a full-strength strike would probably be enough to kill Chu Chen and the others in one blow.
The Three-Eyed Golden Lion seemed tired of struggling and stopped resisting, letting out series of whimpers...
Under normal circumstances, Chu Chen might have felt pity for the little fellow, but right now, it was his life-saving charm.
Dugu Bo and the others didn't ask much. They just followed behind Chu Chen, slowly retreating. Once they left the Star Dou Great Forest, Xiong Jun wouldn't be able to attack them anymore!
Even a terrifying Soul Beast like Xiong Jun...
Would not easily leave the Star Dou Great Forest to attack them. That would not only expose his existence...
But if it attracted the attention of human experts, it would also inevitably expose the existence of other Soul Beasts in the Core Circle.
Xiong Jun had a violent temper, but he was not stupid.
"Speed up. Powerful Soul Beasts nearby have been summoned by Xiong Jun and are approaching us."
Chu Chen shouted in a low voice. Everyone quickened their pace to retreat, while Xiong Jun followed them without hiding his killing intent at all.
"Chu Chen, this isn't a long-term solution. That bear's strength is enough to instantly kill us all."
Dugu Bo reminded him.
Although he didn't know why the little fellow in Chu Chen's hand could make Xiong Jun wary, who could guarantee that nothing would go wrong with this little fellow!
Once a problem arose, they would surely die.
"This is the only way..."
Before Chu Chen could finish his sentence, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion in his hand, which had been quiet, suddenly started struggling. Then, its sharp claws pierced Chu Chen's skin.
The Three-Eyed Golden Lion's claws were stained with Chu Chen's blood, which contained the Destruction Ancient Dragon Bloodline, and the blood quickly disappeared.
Its small body leaped up and bumped its head against Chu Chen. Subconsciously, the destructive aura within Chu Chen's body erupted, and the Ancient Dragon Bloodline bloomed, actually resonating with the Three-Eyed Golden Lion at this moment.
"Boom!"
Golden and dark-purple light intertwined.
That was the Dragon Clan Bloodline.
Within the Three-Eyed Golden Lion's body, the Golden Dragon Bloodline it contained erupted at this moment. The reason for the eruption was that the Destruction Ancient Dragon Bloodline in Chu Chen's body had triggered the Golden Dragon Bloodline.
The light enveloped the Three-Eyed Golden Lion and Chu Chen. The so-called Golden Dragon Bloodline was completely suppressed by the Destruction Ancient Dragon Bloodline.
But this didn't injure the Three-Eyed Golden Lion. Instead, through that drop of Chu Chen's blood from earlier, it caused the Bloodlines to resonate!
This resonance power linked Chu Chen and the Three-Eyed Golden Lion.
"Is this... the Three-Eyed Golden Lion's aura pouring into my body?"
A momentary doubt flashed through Chu Chen's mind, but immediately after, his face turned deathly pale.
He didn't care how this Bloodline resonance was formed, nor did he want to know if this was the connection of the Power of Destiny. What he knew was that the Three-Eyed Golden Lion had now escaped his control!
The Three-Eyed Golden Lion returned to the ground, its little eyes full of confusion as it looked at the pale Chu Chen, who was retreating frantically.
"Awoo..."
The Three-Eyed Golden Lion had fused with that drop of Chu Chen's blood, and during the contact just now, it had also sensed Chu Chen's aura...
This feeling made it very confused.
But an enraged roar interrupted the little fellow's thoughts. The sky and earth instantly darkened as Xiong Jun's claws, flashing with dark gold light, struck out. The dark gold claw blades tore through the heavens and earth.
"Human, die!"
Xiong Jun was furious; he had long wanted to tear the humans before him to pieces.
"Run!"
Chu Chen shouted loudly, then picked up Ye Lingling. Everyone erupted with their ultimate speed. Chu Chen also pushed the Blue Silver Emperor Soul Bone to its limit, flying into the distance.
They could already feel the destructive aura behind them.
It was enough to annihilate everything!
"Boom!"
Suddenly, space shattered, and a dragon claw flashing with golden light descended, blocking Xiong Jun's attack in a single blow. A collision of this magnitude was world-destroying.
Xiong Jun stood dazed on the spot, staring incredulously at the figure in the Void Realm. By the time he reacted, Chu Chen and his group had vanished.
