Douluo Dalu - First Slash

"Huh?!"

Just as he was about to kill the Titan Great Ape, Fang Xuan heard a ferocious roar and was slightly taken aback. Goosebumps rose all over his body, and he felt as if he had been targeted by a primordial beast, sending a chill down his spine.

He abruptly raised his head to look at the ferocious monster swooping down from the sky, and his expression changed slightly. He felt immense pressure, and he exclaimed, "Sky Azure Bull Python!"

This was a massive monster with an ox's head and a snake's body. It had an azure ox head, a long and thick body, and a pair of eyes like two burning torches. It was currently pouncing toward Fang Xuan with a menacing aura.

This was one of the overlords of the Great Star Dou Forest, the hundred-thousand-year Sky Azure Bull Python!

This Sky Azure Bull Python was even more powerful than the Titan Great Ape. It was the overlord of the forest, and it was even more stronger than many Hyper Douluos!

Furthermore, unlike the clumsy Titan Great Ape, the Sky Azure Bull Python was swift. It was like a bolt of azure lightning, and in the blink of an eye, it was right in front of Fang Xuan before opening its gaping maw and biting down viciously.

Fang Xuan focused his gaze, and soul power erupted beneath his feet to shatter the ground. He then borrowed the force of the rebound to shoot out like an arrow, narrowly escaping from the Sky Azure Bull Python's maw!

"Are you alright, Er Ming?"

The Sky Azure Bull Python coiled up its long body, and a hint of concern appeared in its red eyes as it looked down at the wounded Ape.

"Hiss! I'm fine! Thank goodness my skin is tough. Otherwise, I would've most likely died from that attack!"

Er Ming's lips twisted in pain as it slowly crawled up from the ground. There were dozens of wounds all over its body, and every single one of them was bleeding. If it were an ordinary soul beast, it would've most likely bled to death already.

However, its vitality was too abnormal. It had forcefully endured Fang Xuan's One Blade of Samsara. Fang Xuan's expression sank when he saw the Titan Great Ape stand up again.

The Titan Great Ape and the Sky Azure Bull Python were two brothers that no one on the continent dared to provoke. Even Fang Xuan needed to be more confident that he could take on two hundred thousand-year soul beasts. As he looked at the two beasts glaring at him menacingly, his mind raced as he prepared to flee.

"Tsk! This human brat has some skills. I haven't suffered such a big loss in a long time."

The Titan Great Ape's eyes were spitting fire as it glared fiercely at Fang Xuan. Boundless soul power surged from its body like an ocean.

"Er Ming, what's going on?!" The Sky Azure Bull Python glanced at the Titan Great Ape before turning to Fang Xuan with a sharp expression.

"Big Brother! That brat stole my woman!"

The Titan Great Ape pointed at the nearby Shui Bing'er and said indignantly.

"Hah?!"

The Sky Azure Bull Python paused for a moment before a strange expression appeared on its face. Were these two fighting over a girl?!

"Who… who's your woman?!"

Shui Bing'er was about to go crazy. Under the scorching gaze of the Titan Great Ape, her body began to tremble involuntarily as if a peerless beast was staring at her.

A pair of blue wings of ice appeared on her back. With a flap of those wings, she transformed into a streak of wind and instantly arrived beside Fang Xuan. She timidly hid behind Fang Xuan's back, her heart filled with fear as she tried to avoid the Titan Great Ape's terrifying gaze.

"Damned brat…"

The Titan Great Ape naturally wouldn't vent its anger on the girl. Instead, it was certain that Fang Xuan had stolen the girl it liked. It was so angry that it stomped its elephant leg on the ground, causing the earth to tremble violently.

"Big Brother, I like that human girl!" It knew it was no match for Fang Xuan, so it turned to the Sky Azure Bull Python beside it for help.

The Sky Azure Bull Python's brows furrowed as it turned to the Titan Great Ape with a serious expression. "Er Ming, she's a human, not a soul beast. Are you sure you want her?"

"Yes, I'm sure!" The Titan Great Ape nodded with an earnest expression.

"Alright, we'll keep the girl, but as for the man… Kill him!"

In that instant, the Sky Azure Bull Python unleashed the ferocious might of a forest monarch. Its hundred-thousand-year cultivation was unleashed, and its peerlessly mighty soul power swept out in all directions like a torrential storm, toppling large swaths of ancient trees and mountain peaks!

Its crimson eyes instantly locked onto Fang Xuan, who was over 100 meters away, and a cold light flashed through its eyes.

"Roar!"

At the same time, the Titan Great Ape pounded its muscular chest with all its might and let loose a thunderous roar that shook heaven and earth. A black soul power storm imbued with destructive power erupted from its body.

The wounds on its body were healing at a rate that was discernible to the naked eye. With the support of its enormous life force energy, its injuries were quickly healed, and it was back to its peak condition. It also glared at Fang Xuan with a menacing expression.

"F*ck… This is going to be troublesome!"

Fang Xuan wore a grim expression as he looked at the two soul beasts glaring at him from afar. He wasn't afraid of the Titan Great Ape or the Sky Azure Bull Python, but the combined might of two hundred-thousand-year soul beasts was enough to wipe out the entire continent.

Even he was feeling quite troubled. He was no match for the Sky Azure Bull Python and the Titan Great Ape, and it would be difficult for him even to escape.

"What do I do? Otherwise, I'll give her to the Titan Great Ape. She's just a small burden anyway…"

Fang Xuan cursed in his heart. He wanted to kick the girl to the Titan Great Ape. That would save him a lot of trouble.

But at this moment, he couldn't help but recall the scene of the girl confessing to him. That sincerity and honesty. Although he hadn't decided whether to accept the girl's confession for the time being, he wasn't so bad as to throw her away like trash.

Jokes were jokes, and words spoken in anger were spoken in anger.

Now was the time to be serious!

Fang Xuan was vexed and hesitant.

"Where are you? Where am I…?"

Shui Bing'er suddenly reached out her jade-like hands and hugged Fang Xuan from behind. Her delicate face was tightly pressed against his back as if she wanted to fuse.

Hearing this, Fang Xuan was startled. His annoyed state of mind immediately calmed down. At the same time, he made a decision and prepared to fight the two soul beasts.

"Damn it, it's just two beasts. Do you think I'm afraid of you?"

Fang Xuan's expression was cold, and his eyes gradually became ferocious. He roared, "Killing one is enough; killing two is a win!"

"Puny human, how arrogant!"

"Let's see if you can still be so arrogant in a moment!"

The Sky Azure Bull Python and Titan Great Ape roared at the same time. Boundless soul power surged like an ocean, and in the next instant, the two hundred-thousand-year soul beasts attacked Fang Xuan in unison.

"Kill!"

Fang Xuan's black hair draped over his shoulders, and his eyes were sharp. He raised the black blade in his hand, and a murderous aura ignited on the surface of his body. Seven soul rings shone brightly as he erupted with power to meet the two soul-beasts head-on!

Just as the two sides were about to engage in a fierce battle, a silver bell-like voice rang out.

"All of you, stop!"

A beautiful pink figure suddenly descended from the sky. She had bright eyes, white teeth, and snow-white cheeks. She wore a long pink dress, and her silky black hair was draped over her shoulders. She was like a fairy who had descended to the mortal world—beautiful and charming!

"Big Sister Xiao Wu!!"

Seeing the girl suddenly appear, the Sky Azure Bull Python and Titan Great Ape were slightly stunned. They hurriedly stopped their attacks and looked at Mai Mukai doubtfully, not knowing why she had stopped them.

"Gangster Rabbit!"

Fang Xuan stopped swinging his blade and looked at the girl slowly descending from the sky with surprise.

Xiao Wu's face turned ashen when she heard this very unfriendly name. When she landed, her foot slipped, and she fell head-first into the ground!

"Ouch… bastard Fang Xuan, who are you calling a gangster rabbit???"

An embarrassed roar rang out from the depths of the Great Star Dou Forest!
