Qian Daoliu silently left, his angelic aura fading away.
Seeing Di Tian appear here, Xue Tianyu could more or less guess his intentions.
"I can ignore it, but you need to return the Ice Dragon King and Fire Dragon King's soul bones," Di Tian said indifferently, looking at Xue Tianyu.
"As long as you hand over the soul bones, I'll leave immediately."
Behind Di Tian, Bear Lord scratched his bear-like nose awkwardly after hearing these words.
'Why does this sound so familiar…?'
He seemed to remember saying something similar before getting completely crushed by Xue Tianyu. And it wasn't just that—those two seemingly harmless beauties behind Xue Tianyu were the real threats. Their terrifying presence wasn't any weaker than Di Tian's.
However, looking at the situation now, Xue Tianyu shouldn't be able to defeat Di Tian, right...?
After all, the extreme darkness attribute had a suppressive effect on other attributes.
"Oh really…" Xue Tianyu chuckled and shook his head. "Then you can also choose not to leave."
"There's no way I'm handing over my soul bones."
Even if Di Tian was slightly stronger than Qian Daoliu, Xue Tianyu wasn't afraid. He had his trump cards.
"No way?"
Di Tian also laughed.
This was the first time he had seen a human act so arrogantly in front of him.
Clenching his fist, he took a step forward. "Then I'll just have to take them by force and report back."
A terrifying surge of soul power instantly erupted from him.
This young man's soul power was clearly not as strong as Qian Daoliu's. Di Tian was confident that his aura alone would be enough to crush him.
Little did he know—he was completely wrong.
Xue Tianyu withstood his pressure with ease.
Even though Di Tian was one of the absolute peak powerhouses on the Douluo Continent, he forgot one thing—Xue Tianyu wasn't alone.
"Hmph, so this is what you beasts from the southern forests love to do—bully others with your strength," Xue Di scoffed, unable to tolerate seeing Xue Tianyu being pressured by Di Tian.
Not just her—Bing Di also looked at Di Tian with a face full of ridicule.
"He's seriously underestimating us sisters."
Both of them took a few steps forward, standing beside Xue Tianyu.
Two overwhelmingly powerful icy auras instantly pushed back Di Tian's pressure.
At that moment, their auras were evenly matched.
Di Tian's expression changed.
He hadn't expected the two women behind Xue Tianyu to be soul beasts as well.
And not weak ones either.
No wonder Bear Lord couldn't defeat them.
However, Di Tian was confident that even if he had to fight one against three, as long as he gave it his all, it wasn't impossible to win.
Besides, Bear Lord was still behind him.
Two against three.
Analyzing it rationally, Di Tian believed he had the advantage.
So he didn't hold back. "If you want to fight, let's fight! Today, you won't be taking these two Dragon King soul bones with you!"
Hearing Di Tian's arrogant words, Xue Tianyu grinned.
"Let's see if you can still talk so big in a moment."
With that, Xue Tianyu pulled out the Dragon Binding Rope.
In an instant, a mournful wailing, as if coming from the very souls of dragons, echoed from the rope.
"This… this is…"
Di Tian's face drastically changed.
That strange rope carried an aura that naturally suppressed dragonkind.
Under that aura, Di Tian could feel his own bloodline trembling!
'Impossible! I'm a dragon!'
'How could something possibly suppress the dragon race?!'
Di Tian was stunned.
At that moment, as he stared at the rope in Xue Tianyu's hands, his scalp tingled.
"No, impossible!"
Di Tian took two steps back, his face filled with disbelief.
"There's no way something that suppresses my dragon race exists in this world!"
"There's nothing impossible about it. Do you want to try?" Xue Tianyu smirked and fastened the Dragon Binding Rope to his waist.
With this in hand, he refused to believe that Di Tian could cause any real trouble.
Di Tian's expression darkened.
Seeing that Xue Tianyu didn't seem to have any intention of using the rope immediately, he thought—
'Maybe this is my chance to strike first!'
'As long as I can take that rope from him, I won't have to worry about him being a threat!'
With that thought, Di Tian suddenly lunged forward!
Black flames ignited all over his body, capable of devouring anything in their path.
He reached out his hand toward Xue Tianyu.
If Xue Tianyu had truly been unprepared, then this strategy might have worked.
But since Xue Tianyu was already facing off against Di Tian, how could he not be on guard?
The moment Di Tian attacked, Xue Di had already made her move.
The Ice Emperor Sword appeared, releasing a frigid aura that instantly froze the air itself.
All the moisture in the surroundings turned into an ice wall between Di Tian and Xue Tianyu.
"Break!"
Di Tian's black flames burned through the frozen barrier.
But waiting for him on the other side—was Xue Tianyu's Ice God Spear!
Seeing the spear thrust toward him, Di Tian let out a furious roar. The black flames around him morphed into an obsidian-black armor!
The spear clashed against the armor with a resounding clang.
The freezing aura contained within the Ice God Spear was completely absorbed by the dark armor.
Seeing that he had already gotten so close to Xue Tianyu, Di Tian changed his strategy.
Even if he couldn't kill him right now, snatching that dragon-suppressing rope was enough!
He immediately shifted his target toward Xue Tianyu's waist.
But he wasn't just dealing with Xue Tianyu.
With a casual palm strike, Xue Di struck Di Tian.
Originally, Di Tian assumed such a light attack wouldn't pose a threat.
But in the next moment, his black flame armor shattered completely!
'So strong?!'
Di Tian no longer dared to underestimate Xue Di. He quickly retreated.
His heart was in turmoil.
That strange rope could suppress dragons—if he didn't seize it, it would be a massive threat to the Lord!
Even if he had to die, he couldn't allow these people to pose a threat to his Lord!
Just as he prepared to charge again, another figure stepped in front of Xue Tianyu.
It was Bing Di.
His expression grew even uglier.
One against two, he still had some confidence.
But one against three?
Taking that rope from Xue Tianyu under these conditions… was impossible.
Di Tian let out a long sigh. He hadn't expected to be forced into this situation today.
"Young man, I advise you to give up now. Otherwise, you'll suffer a miserable fate."
Hearing Di Tian's threat, Xue Tianyu chuckled and shook his head.
"No use. If you really could defeat me, you would have done so already. Why drag it out?"
"Fine! Since you insist, don't blame me!"
Di Tian suddenly let out a thunderous roar, and his body rapidly expanded.
Pitch-black dragon scales spread across his skin like flipping pages. His hands and feet morphed into dragon claws.
A pair of majestic dragon horns sprouted from his head, and in the next moment, he transformed completely!
"Roar!!!"
A deafening dragon's roar echoed through the Sunset Forest, sending tremors through all living creatures.
Di Tian, now in his true form, hovered in the air. His dragon's might enveloped the entire forest.
"Young one, die!!!"
Behind Di Tian, countless dark portals appeared, unleashing devastating beams of black energy.
The sheer power made Xue Di and Bing Di frown.
'If we're comparing raw combat strength… this Di Tian might be stronger than either of us individually.'
But Xue Di and Bing Di were never separate.
They exchanged glances and smiled sweetly.
Then, they clasped their fingers together.
In an instant, a terrifying ice and snow aura enveloped the battlefield!
A blizzard surged forth, covering everything in frost.
"The Pride of the Two Empresses of Ice and Snow—Snow Dance Over the Sun!"
