Just then, a figure suddenly appeared at the center of the group - it was Wang Feng!
The Titan Giant Ape was a colossal behemoth and the combined efforts of seven individuals couldn't even scratch it, let alone halt its charge!
The sheer force it exuded was enough to leave anyone in awe.
"Black Lotus!"
Wang Feng muttered under his breath.
His soul power surged through his entire body, pouring into the Chaos Green Lotus within him in a frenzy!
Then, the third lotus seed silently blossomed and it was of an intense shade of black!
It was a Dark Black nig…cough...Lotus, the third form of Chaos Green Lotus at level 30!
"Twelfth-Rank Black Lotus, it's your time to shine!" Wang Feng declared.
He channeled his highly compressed and purified 30th level soul power directly into the Black Lotus, leaving nothing to spare!
In Ancient Chinese Mythology, this Twelfth-Rank Black Lotus possessed a terrifying defensive capability, along with the ability to absorb malevolent and tyrannical auras and energies for various purposes.
Wang Feng hadn't yet tested the full potential of this Twelfth-Rank Black Lotus in its martial soul form but he had a good idea of its capabilities.
Its defensive power was undoubtedly formidable!
This was why he hadn't bestowed [Deification] skills upon Zhao Wuji earlier - he'd planned to preserve his soul power for activating the Black Lotus!
Moreover, even if Zhao Wuji were to triple his strength, defeating the Titan Giant Ape would remain an insurmountable challenge...
Unless they had a Soul Douluo and Wang Feng imparted [Deification] soul ability - even then, success would be far from guaranteed, the odds were that slim against this behemoth of a soul beast.
Suddenly, the Black Lotus erupted with dark radiance!
Several beams of black light shot forth from the lotus and enveloped the nine individuals, forming a thick black protective shield around them.
The black lotus then soared into the air and transformed into a colossal lotus platform!
It emitted a luminous shield, once again enveloping everyone!
All present gaped in astonishment, sensing a chilling and ominous aura emanating from the black lotus - it was truly terrifying.
Even Zhao Wuji, who had rushed over, stood dumbstruck.
In the next instant, the Titan Giant Ape's fist descended with incredible force!
All of this unfolded in the blink of an eye!
BOOM!
Just as the Titan Giant Ape's fist descended, the dark shield quivered!
It managed to withstand the Titan Giant Ape's assault for a mere two or three breaths!
"Go! Don't stand there!" Wang Feng urgently commanded.
Seizing this fleeting opportunity, everyone snapped back to reality and scattered in all directions!
Then, it happened -
BOOM!
The shield created by the Black Lotus shattered instantly! The Black Lotus martial soul was absorbed back into Wang Feng's body.
The protective shield barely lasted a few seconds, crumbled in a matter of seconds. The tremendous backlash from the Titan Giant Ape's assault caused Wang Feng to cough up a bit of blood.
"This Titan Giant Ape is incredibly overwhelmingly powerful... It didn't even use any other powers, just a direct hit and it proved too much to withstand for the Black Lotus." Wang Feng muttered, his face ashen.
As the Titan Giant Ape shattered the protective shield, it swiftly grabbed hold of Xiao Wu, who had been sent flying by Tang San moments ago and held her into his palm.
Fortunately, everyone had managed to escape the immediate danger zone and was unscathed. They were merely buffeted by the shockwave. The Black Lotus's protective aura had shielded them from harm.
Wang Feng breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this. Although he was injured, it was primarily due to the depletion of his soul power. Additionally, the initial use of the Black Lotus had caused the shield to shatter, resulting in some backlash. However, his injuries were not that severe.
Yet, the abilities of the Black Lotus had made a significant impression on Wang Feng—its defensive capabilities were truly astonishing!
Even without a soul ring, the Black Lotus's inherent abilities provided substantial area-wide defense coverage. It could withstand the Titan Giant Ape's onslaught for a brief two to three seconds.
Don't underestimate those two or three seconds, they were highly abnormal! Even if Zhao Wuji, in his True Martial Soul form, attempted to hold the Titan Giant Ape back for three seconds, he would be left severely injured, if not worse.
Furthermore, this was a wide range defense coverage!
Wang Feng glanced around, seeing the Titan Giant Ape's massive hand clutching Xiao Wu's limp form. He allowed the Titan Giant Ape to carry Xiao Wu away, relieved that no one had suffered injuries. Teacher Zhao appeared to be in a somewhat unfortunate state, but overall, it was the best possible outcome.
With this in mind, Wang Feng intended to discreetly slip away and put some distance between himself and the Titan Giant Ape. However, at that very moment, a colossal hand reached out and seized him just as he was about to depart.
A resounding roar filled the air! The Titan Giant Ape had grabbed Wang Feng, the individual who had briefly blocked its advance. It then looked at Xiao Wu in its grasp, and subsequently, at the human who had dared to impede its progress for a matter of seconds.
It no longer paid any attention to the rest of the group. With several mighty leaps, it vanished from sight, leaving everyone bewildered.
"W-What's going on?" Wang Feng was utterly perplexed. Why did the Titan Giant Ape grab him?
Almost simultaneously, several voices cried out in unison:
"Xiao Wu!"
"Wang Feng!!!"
As the Titan Great Ape snatched Xiao Wu with one hand, it also captured Wang Feng with the other, leaving everyone rooted in place.
They remained motionless until the Titan Great Ape disappeared from their sight, bounding away with several powerful leaps.
A series of screams erupted from several individuals as the shocking airwaves unleashed by the Titan Giant Ape began to recede. Fortunately, the Black Lotus's protective aura had absorbed much of the impact and they had managed to evade in time, resulting in minimal injuries.
Yet, nobody could have foreseen that the Titan Giant Ape would seize Xiao Wu, who had been launched into the air by Tang San moments earlier and that Wang Feng would suffer the same fate.
Gradually, the group of individuals rose from the ground, their faces etched with worry and confusion.
Zhao Wuji wore an extremely grave expression. Although the battle had ended, he had deactivated his Martial Soul True Body state and now gazed into the distance, remaining silent for an extended period.
When he finally turned his attention to the remaining six individuals, who bore only minor bruises, his expression was a mixture of shock, guilt and confusion.
He was shocked that Wang Feng had sacrificed himself to protect them, momentarily halting the Titan Great Ape, even though they couldn't comprehend how he had done it.
He felt guilty for his own inadequacy and inability to prevent this situation from unfolding.
"Teacher Zhao! We need to find Wang Feng and Xiao Wu!" Zhu Zhuqing urgently said even though she looked a bit pale.
The expressions of the others mirrored their concern and they all turned their attention to Oscar.
Tang San, his hands clenched tightly at his sides, had bloodshot eyes.
Zhao Wuji regarded Zhu Zhuqinng with a profound expression and said, "I don't know why the Titan Giant Ape appeared here, but I'm sorry, everyone. I couldn't stop it. But Zhu Zhuqing you can't go... Understand?"
Were they serious? Venturing toward the Titan Giant Ape at this juncture?
They were the lucky ones, all seven of them still alive and largely unscathed. This was an outcome they could hardly have hoped for. Were they now going to throw it all away as a group? Zhao Wuji wouldn't allow that.
Dai Mubai remained silent. They were not fools, they understood the implications of going after Wang Feng and Xiao Wu at this moment.
Ning Rongrong's eyes welled up with tears, and her gaze betrayed her desperation. Zhu Zhuqing, restraining her, also wore a grim expression. Her fingers were turning white and blue from the strain. It was clear she was exceedingly unwilling, but she couldn't deny the harsh reality they faced.
"Do we just give up like this? Abandon our comrades?" Oscar murmured, his voice barely audible.
"If you go now," Zhao Wuji glanced at everyone and spoke in a solemn tone, "then everything Wang Feng did moments ago will have been in vain! Do you understand? If he hadn't held back the Titan Giant Ape for those few seconds, all of you could have been gravely injured, or worse, died! Don't let his sacrifice be for nothing! I believe you all understand this truth!"
"Now, listen to me—take a moment to rest and collect yourselves. Afterward, we'll discuss our plan of action. Giving up is not an option! But we mustn't act recklessly!"
Zhao Wuji's voice carried weight and urgency.
Everyone knew that the chances of Xiao Wu and Wang Feng surviving were slim. Yet, they remained silent.
At this moment, Tang San quietly whispered to Oscar, who sat beside him, "Oscar, didn't Brother Feng ask you to prepare seven mushroom sausages in advance? Give me one!"
His voice was barely audible.
Oscar was taken aback. Wang Feng had indeed requested him to prepare seven mushroom sausages in advance but at a time like this, how could he give one to Tang San?
"Xiao Wu is my sister, my family. Feng'ge is my best friend. If your family and friends were taken away, would you be willing to abandon them? Feng'ge was taken away trying to protect us from harm. We don't know whether he's alive or dead. Oscar, I can't bring myself to just leave like this!" Tang San's voice took on a determined edge, sending shivers down Oscar's spine.
Could he really leave them behind?
