Seeing Qi Xuan and Deng An charging up, the Rat King merely let out a coldugh.

    "Old Seven, Old Nine, block the two of them!"

    With a cold shout from the Rat King, two people immediately turned around to intercept Qi Xuan and Deng An. Of course, these two had not left the Zodiac Battle Formation, meaning that the formation remained intact.

    Within the formation, both individuals'' strength increased by about thirty percent. Therefore, even though their strength was previously inferior to Qi Xuan and Deng An, they were now evenly matched, locked in a difficult stalemate.

    Even so, this significantly reduced the pressure on ck Widow''s side. After all, now only ten people were attacking her together.

    The attacks from these ten people at least allowed ck Widow a chance to catch her breath. However, she didn''t dare to linger even for a moment, continuing to dodge like a butterfly among flowers, avoiding their attacks.

    "Hahaha..." The Rat Kingughed loudly: "ck Widow, we''re just standing here without moving, and you have to struggle so much. If this goes on, even if you don''t die by our hands, you''ll exhaust yourself to death. Battling against us, the Zodiac Ghost Kings, do you really not know what it means to face death?"

    ck Widow remained silent, her face cold, constantly evading in the encirclement without ever striking back. Or rather, she never had the opportunity to strike back.

    After battling for nearly ten minutes, Qi Xuan and Deng An''s expressions became extremely grave. The power of these Zodiac Ghost Kings showed no sign of diminishing; instead, it seemed to be gradually increasing. Meanwhile, their own strength had been significantly depleted.

    Continuing like this, not to mention fighting to the death, they feared they wouldn''t even get the chance. They might not be able to harm these people at all before falling in battle themselves.

    Qi Xuan furrowed his brow tightly, forced to consider other strategies. No matter what, he had to ensure Lv Donglin''s safety, allowing him to leave safely.

    However, before Qi Xuan coulde up with a n, a white-robed woman approached from afar, riding a sword. Her beauty was peerless, her presence elegant like an immortal descending from the nine heavens, unforgettable at first sight.

    The woman was none other than Ye Wantong. Innately gifted, and having cultivated under Ye Sword Saint, her strength had grown rapidly. After arriving at the World Melting Furnace, she dedicated herself to cultivation, elerating her progress significantly.

    Yet, seeing the situation at hand, she decided to stand quietly aside. This battle was simply beyond something she could intervene in. Of those present, perhaps only Su Yang could lend a hand, albeit not for long.

    Ye Wantongnded beside Su Yang, but before she could stabilize herself, three wolf howls resonated from the woods. Immediately, three Single-horned Wolves dashed out from among the trees.

    Atop the lead wolf sat a charming little gray bear, the same one that had always followed Ye Wantong.

    The three Single-horned Wolves, seeing ck Widow under siege, charged forward at once. The little gray bear, fearing nothing, eagerly led the charge atop the lead wolf.

    The three Single-horned Wolves dashed right into the battlefield, each pouncing on a different enemy.

    "What is that?" the Tiger King asked in surprise.

    Nobody could answer, as the wolves lunged forward, and the ck tiger under the Tiger King''smand leapt to intercept, shing with one of the Single-horned Wolves.

    Though the ck tiger was formidable, the Single-horned Wolf was no weakling. The two beasts wrestled fiercely, unable to determine a victor in the moment.

    The other two Single-horned Wolves engaged the Zodiac Dog under the Dog King''smand and the fat pig under the Pig King''smand, respectively.

    Meanwhile, the intruding little bear had already tumbled to the ground, ending up at the Bull King''s feet.

    The Bull King nced at the little bear dismissively, instructing his giant buffalo to stomp the bear to death.

    The little gray bear was smaller than the buffalo''s hoof. With one stomp, that hefty buffalo could easily tten the little bear. Hence, the Bull King paid it no mind.

    However, as the giant buffalo lifted its hoof, it failed to bring it down, as if it had encountered a solid rock.

    The Bull King was stunned, looking down to see the little bear effortlessly holding the buffalo''s hoof up with one paw.

    The Bull King was taken aback, realizing he had underestimated the bear. Yet he didn''t worry much, patting the buffalo to crush the bear, while he focused his energy on attacking ck Widow.

    At this moment, ck Widow herself charged towards the Bull King.

    The Bull King took a deep breath, preparing to strike ck Widow with all his might. Just then, his body suddenly shook, and he uncontrobly flew backward.

    He had no time to release the palm he had prepared. ck Widow had already arrived, delivering a p that sent him flying.

    As hended, the Bull King finally grasped what had happened. His giant buffalo had been thrown to the ground by the little bear, unable to break free from the bear''s grasp,pletely at its mercy. The massive creature''s body began to shrink, bellowing without changing the oue.

    The Bull King spat several mouthfuls of blood, still dazed and confused. He couldn''tprehend why his mighty, near-demonic hybrid buffalo was so powerless against this puppet-like cub. It was as if he had seen a ghost.

    ck Widow was ustomed to this sight. Knowing the little gray bear was an Earth Bear, its power surged endlessly once it touched the ground. Even if Little Chick and Little Turtle teamed up against it, they''d suffer greatly.

    Though the Bull King''s buffalo was a unique species, it couldn''tpare to such an innate divine beast.

    ck Widow seized the opportunity to strike while the little bear tangled with the Bull King, injuring him.

    With the Bull King injured, the Zodiac Battle Formation copsed, significantly weakening the Zodiac Ghost Kings'' battle power.

    The Rat King''s face changed dramatically, recognizing the little bear''s uniqueness and the impact of the three Single-horned Wolves, which drastically altered the battlefield dynamics. While the Zodiac Ghost Kings held a clear advantage earlier, now the situation turned even.

    The matter was far from settled, however. From the woods, more people emerged, led by Xue Nu and the Beigong War God''s personal maid.
