Chapter 117 The ruler arrives before the person arrives!
With a stumble, the man with extremely strong legs fell to the ground instantly. He fell flat on his face and finally lay in front of Xiao Yan.

Frowning as he looked at the man who gave him a great salute as soon as they met, Xiao Yan shook his head helplessly and turned around to leave.

Slowly raising his head, the man was startled to see Xiao Yan walking without any hesitation. He then hurriedly shouted hoarsely, "Little brother, please stay. Our team has been attacked by a soul beast. I wonder if you can help us?"

"Sorry, I don't have that ability. I'm just a Soul Master."

Without looking back, Xiao Yan raised his hand and said lightly.

Xiao Yan couldn't be blamed for being indifferent. This world was a place where the weak were the prey of the strong. Countless people died every day. Should he help anyone who died? Survival of the fittest. This was the kind of awareness that the fantasy world should have.

"What? Soul Master? Then how did you get into the mixed zone of the Star Dou Great Forest? There are soul beasts here that are more than ten thousand years old?" Hearing this, the man looked incredible. After a moment, he continued to ask: "Little brother, if you are willing to help, my Body Sect will definitely reward you generously afterwards."

In his opinion, although Xiao Yan's soul power level was only around level 40, he was able to go deep into the mixed zone of the Star Dou Great Forest alone. All the soul beasts here were over ten thousand years old. He must have some real skills, otherwise, he would have been eaten by the nearby soul beasts long ago.

As for why Xiao Yan dared to enter the mixed area of ​​the Xingdou Great Forest alone, there were two reasons. One was because Yao Lao was here, so he didn't need to be afraid of any soul beasts. The other was because of his spirit eye's second soul skill - simulation.

This soul skill can make soul beasts under 100,000 years old take a detour when they see him.

"The Body Sect?" Hearing this, Xiao Yan blinked, a hint of astonishment revealed in his dark pupils, and asked with great curiosity.

"Yes." The man nodded and said.

Xiao Yan had heard of the Body Sect a long time ago. His spiritual eyes could be considered a type of body martial soul. According to legend, a long time ago, when body martial souls first appeared on the continent, they were also treated as evil soul masters. In the end, these soul masters with body martial souls had to gather together for warmth, and thus the Body Sect was established.

The Body Sect has always treated soul masters with original martial souls as family members. It is said that the Body Sect can also help soul masters with original martial souls to awaken their martial souls a second time. Xiao Yan is quite curious about such a sect.

“Oh…” Xiao Yan nodded slightly, a smile appeared on his face, and then he squatted down, stretched out his palm to check the injuries on the man’s body, and then took out a pill from the storage soul guide, saying: “This pill is called Recovery Pill, it can help you recover from your injuries, you should eat it quickly, and then take me to find your team.”

"Thank you, little brother." After taking the pill, the man hesitated for a moment, and finally chose to swallow it.

In this situation, if you don’t trust others, why would you ask for help? This is the true reflection of the man’s inner thoughts at the moment.

As the pill took effect, the blood that had been continuously flowing out of the man's body actually began to thin out slowly. After a moment, the blood actually coagulated into a thin layer of blood at the wound.

"This... elixir is so effective?" Looking at the scene in front of him, the man was stunned and said in disbelief.

"Stop talking nonsense and lead the way." Xiao Yan said lightly.

Hearing this, the man quickly stood up, bowed to Xiao Yan, and introduced himself: "Little brother, my name is Chen Lu, I am a four-ring soul sect, and my martial soul is a pair of calves. Our body sect team is not far away."

After saying that, he pointed to the dense forest not far away.

"You people from the Benti Sect have come out to obtain spirit rings, but don't you have a sect elder to lead the team?" Xiao Yan asked after pondering for a moment, glancing at the dense forest not far away.

Chen Lu explained, "There must be a strong disciple from the sect leading the team, but the three elders who led the team this time were only at the Soul Saint level, and we encountered several soul beasts that were over 50,000 years old, which made us a little embarrassed."

As he spoke, Chen Lu once again looked at Xiao Yan, the young man in black robes, with a strange black ruler. All these things made him feel that the young man in front of him was not an ordinary person. If he were an ordinary low-level soul master, he would have been buried in the belly of a soul beast long ago.

"Let's go and take a look. I know a soul skill that can drive away soul beasts under 100,000 years old. I hope I can help you." With a wry smile, Xiao Yan habitually touched the huge Xuanzhong ruler behind him, and walked towards the dense forest not far away.

...............

A few minutes later, Xiao Yan's brows suddenly frowned. From the forest not far away, loud and panicked shouts were heard. Judging from the volume of the sound, it seemed that there were quite a few people.

"Is this the place?" Xiao Yan asked doubtfully.

Hearing this, Chen Lu nodded and said, "One of our companions has reached a bottleneck in his cultivation, so he came to the Xingdou Great Forest to try his luck. Although there were three Soul Saints leading the team, we were unexpectedly attacked by several soul beasts over 50,000 years old, and were chased away in a panic. I managed to escape with great difficulty."

Xiao Yan stepped lightly on the ground, flipped in the air, and finally landed on a huge tree trunk, his eyes sweeping downwards.

Below Xiao Yan was a rather spacious open space. There were a total of six people on the open space at this moment. They either had extremely thick arms or extremely thick legs. One of them had particularly thick lower body parts. They were all owners of body martial spirits, and around them, there were dozens of soul beasts.

Among these dozen soul beasts, there are seven or eight soul beasts with cultivation bases of more than 50,000 years, and the rest are all soul beasts with cultivation bases of around 20,000 to 30,000 years. Therefore, the situation below is basically a one-sided pursuit.

Just as Xiao Yan was looking around, these dozen soul beasts attacked at the same time and pounced towards the disciples of the Body Sect.

"call out!"

At this moment, a sharp sound of breaking wind suddenly sounded in the sky, and a black shadow suddenly crossed the sky, and finally, like a black lightning, with a bang, it heavily smashed between the people of the Body Sect and the soul beast, splashing a lot of dust.

After a while, the dust gradually dissipated, and a huge black ruler slowly appeared in everyone's sight.

The sudden appearance of the giant ruler startled both sides. The soul beasts paused their attacks and began to look around cautiously.

Immediately afterwards, one of the ten thousand year old soul beasts suddenly turned around and spotted Xiao Yan standing on the tree trunk. It let out an angry roar, then turned around and pounced towards the latter.

Looking at the ten thousand year old soul beast that was rushing towards him, Xiao Yan couldn't help but smile slightly. He gently raised his feet and stepped on the tree trunk. His body turned into a black shadow and appeared above the head of the soul beast. He opened his palms slightly, and a huge suction force surged out. The Xuan Zhong ruler that had been inserted into the ground instantly returned to his hand.

Holding the ruler tightly in his hand, Xiao Yan swung it violently, causing a violent sound of breaking wind, and heavily smashed on the head of the ten thousand year soul beast. Suddenly, the huge force actually directly knocked the body of the ten thousand year soul beast into the air, breaking several large trees before slowly stopping.

"What a horrifying explosion!" The disciples of the Body Sect cried out in horror after seeing the scene before them.

Chen Lu, who was standing not far behind Xiao Yan, couldn't help but shrink his pupils after looking at the ten thousand year old soul beast that was hit several meters away by Xiao Yan. He was shocked and muttered to himself, "I didn't expect that this little brother looks a little thin, but he has such fierce power. You can't judge a person by his appearance."

"Roar!"

In the distance, the soul beast that was knocked away by Xiao Yan got up again, and let out an angry roar towards the sky. Then, all the soul beasts in the open space suddenly flashed out at the same time. They were so fast that they ran more than ten meters away in an instant and pounced on Xiao Yan.

But at this moment, Xiao Yan's aura suddenly changed. Under the shocked gaze of everyone, three blood-colored soul rings rose up under his feet, and each halo even had four faint golden lines.

The next second, a terrifying aura that seemed to come from the ancient wilderness burst out from Xiao Yan's body. A thick blood light spread out around him. At this moment, his small body was as shocking as an ancient demon god.

"hold head high--"

With a scream, the bodies of these ten thousand year old soul beasts that were running wildly suddenly stopped, and then instantly collapsed to the ground, with feces and urine flowing out.

At the same time, countless cries of grief rang out in the forest.

A terrifying aura swept across thousands of miles, and suddenly, a golden stream of light suddenly stopped. It was a soul beast, over three meters long, covered with a layer of bright golden hair. Its overall shape was very similar to a lion, but its four claws were like dragons, and under each dragon claw there was a ball of golden flame. In addition to its normal two eyes, it actually had a third eye, which was somewhat similar to Xiao Yan's Eye of Life, with the same vertical pupil, and emitting a strange red light from time to time.

It is the imperial auspicious beast, the three-eyed golden lion.

"Despicable human, it's you again."

"I will definitely avenge myself this time!"

The three-eyed golden lion let out an angry roar and paused for a moment. Then it looked in the direction of Xiao Yan and its body flashed and turned into a golden light and disappeared.

…………

The red light gradually subsided, the blood color in Xiao Yan's eyes faded first, and then the three red halos on his body disappeared. The previously extremely terrifying aura of oppression was now gone, and everything returned to normal.

Those ten thousand year old soul beasts just now all ran away and scattered.

Exhaling lightly, Xiao Yan casually inserted the Xuanzhong ruler into the ruler sheath on his back, and then slowly walked towards the people from the Body Sect who had been petrified.

"Hey, are you guys okay?" Xiao Yan asked with a smile as he got closer.

"No...it's okay." Upon hearing this, one of the disciples of the Body Sect stammered, "Thank you for your help, little brother."

Xiao Yan smiled casually, looked up at the sky, and said calmly: "I'm sorry, I still have to go deeper into the forest to look for spiritual soul beasts over ten thousand years old. We'll meet again if we're lucky."

Having said that, Xiao Yan headed towards the depths of the forest again.

"Wait." The voice of Chen Lu, a disciple of the Body Sect, suddenly came from behind, causing Xiao Yan to stop and turn around in confusion, looking at the former.

"Little brother, is your martial soul of spiritual attribute? Spiritual soul beasts are hard to find, but I heard that in the Sunset Forest to the east of our Tianhun Empire, there seem to be several spiritual soul beasts that are more than ten thousand years old. If you can't find a suitable soul beast in this Star Forest, you can try your luck in the Sunset Forest." Chen Lu said lightly.

"Sunset Forest?" Xiao Yan whispered with a frown. This was the first time he heard the name of this soul beast forest.

However, at this moment, a golden figure suddenly fell from the sky. It was the emperor's auspicious beast, the three-eyed golden lion. After seeing Xiao Yan's figure, the three-eyed golden lion first let out an angry roar towards the sky, and its hair stood upside down.

The next second, a golden energy surrounded its body, and in an instant, it solidified into a golden shell, completely covering its body, reflecting brilliant luster under the sunlight.

"Despicable human, return my original fire to me——"

The three-eyed golden lion spoke in human language, and after its body was covered with a golden shell, it spread its four hooves and charged towards Xiao Yan like a tank.

Looking up at the three-eyed golden lion that was charging at him, Xiao Yan was stunned for a moment and asked in a trembling voice, "The auspicious three-eyed golden lion of the emperor?"

Facing the sudden attack from the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, Xiao Yan had no choice but to clench his fists in defense. A dense white flame burst out, covering nearly half of his arm.

Looking up, Xiao Yan looked at the three-eyed golden lion that was getting closer and closer, let out a light breath, stomped his feet hard on the ground, and his body was like an arrow shot from a bow. In the stunned gazes of the people around him, he chose to confront the latter head-on.

"Baji collapse!"

Just as the two sides were about to collide, Xiao Yan let out a light shout in his heart, and his fist, which was wrapped in the dark white flames, suddenly made a sharp sound of breaking the wind. An instant later, it was mixed with terrifying energy and smashed heavily on the head of the Three-Eyed Golden Lion.

Suddenly, the vertical pupil on the forehead of the three-eyed golden lion burst into a golden light and fell on Xiao Yan's forehead.
