Chapter 175: Massive Explosion The Dark Demon Evil God Tiger Controlled to Death
High in the sky, Han Li's expression turned frantic as he saw the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger lunging toward him.
Soul power surged as he continuously fired ice fire arrows at the beast. Some, in his apparent panic, even detonated prematurely before reaching their target.
The Dark Demon Evil God Tiger dodged leisurely mid air, occasionally retaliating with energy blades and gray demonic lightning, seemingly toying with Han Li.
Despite Han Li's repeated attempts to attack and retreat, the distance between them continued to shrink.
Suddenly, a faint black glow flickered in front of Han Li's bow a soul skill activation sign.
The Dark Demon Evil God Tiger had encountered many soul masters before. Though it found it odd that this human didn't display any soul rings, this wasn't entirely unfamiliar.
Instinctively, it amplified the power of its demonic lightning, hurling it toward Han Li's incoming arrow. But the moment the demonic lightning made contact
It rebounded.
Not dissipated. Not countered.
It was directly repelled.
This was Han Li's fifth soul skill Rebound & Float Arrow, a technique that, while lacking raw destructive power, possessed two extremely annoying rule based effects.
Rebound: Any attack that touches it is forcibly bounced away.Float: Anything hit by the arrow is suspended but only if its soul power defenses are first broken.
The Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's massive frame hesitated in mid air for a split second.
Though it had faced countless strange soul master abilities, this was the first time it encountered an attack that could repel energy itself.
But it had no time to process this further.
The black glow on Han Li's bow flared again, and a barrage of arrows was fired toward it.
For the first time, the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger felt frustration.
Whether it countered with energy attacks or physically struck the arrows
Everything was repelled.
The worst part?
The arrows lacked any actual killing power.
Even if one landed directly on its eyelid, it likely wouldn't even pierce its skin.
Dodging? Impossible.
The human had intentionally fired in an overwhelming pattern, completely saturating its path.
The only alternative was to land and wait out the attack
But if it landed, the damn human would escape its sight.
And his flight speed wasn't much slower than its own.
After being humiliatingly bounced around for several exchanges, the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger finally snapped.
"ROAR!"
A deafening fury filled roar echoed.
Its long, hooked tail straightened like a spear, stabbing directly into thin air.
And then an impossible scene unfolded.
Its tail hadn't physically touched the incoming arrows.
But the moment soul power surged at the tip, the space in front of it seemed to solidify.
The arrows froze mid air.
Then, a shockwave pulsed outward from its tail.
Like ripples spreading across water, the surrounding space distorted, and any arrows caught in the disturbance lost all momentum, dissipating into soul power.
From a distance, Han Li grimaced.
Without hesitation he turned and fled at full speed.
But the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger had no intention of letting him escape.
It had already endured enough humiliation.
And this human was a top tier meal.
A violent surge of gray energy erupted as its entire body was enveloped in mist.
At an insane speed, it left behind a gray trail as it shot toward Han Li closing the gap to less than ten meters.
Its charge skill finally activated.
This time, there was no more playing around.
With its full weight, it extended a massive claw, aiming straight for Han Li's head.
But just then
Han Li abruptly stopped.
The Dark Demon Evil God Tiger, for the first time, saw the human's soul rings fully appear.
On his excessively ornate bow, the rings were arranged neatly: black, purple, black, black, black.
An abnormal configuration.
Then, all five rings flared simultaneously, channeling into a single arrow
The one Han Li had been carrying on his back the entire time.
The Dark Demon Evil God Tiger immediately sensed danger.
But it was too late to stop.
It had already committed to the attack its forward momentum was irreversible.
Instinctively, it activated Evil God's Protection.
But Han Li had anticipated this.
Buzz!
The Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's mind was suddenly hammered, as if struck by a sledgehammer.
Its thoughts stalled, its spiritual awareness dimmed, and its protective skill was forcibly interrupted.
Then, in the brief moment before it could react
The human's smiling face entered its blurred vision.
A red and white glow erupted, enveloping its entire body.
It was completely immobilized.
Both mind and body were now frozen in place, like a painting trapped on a canvas of space itself.
Helpless, it could do nothing but watch
As Han Li's arrow sailed straight into its open mouth,
And burrowed deep into its stomach.
Once again, the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger felt that strange force from the earlier arrow barrage it was floating.
Its soft underbelly was completely exposed before the human.
Move. Move now!
For the first time, the highly intelligent Dark Demon Evil God Tiger felt such humiliation. Not even when facing that Titan Giant Ape in the core region of the forest had it felt this powerless.
From the moment of its birth, ever since it gained awareness, it had always been the predator, never the prey.
Even in its weakest days, a simple trick was enough to make other soul beasts fight to the death, leaving it to reap the spoils of war and devour both losers at once.
But today…
A mere Soul King
Yes, this human's soul rings were strange, his spiritual power was abnormally strong, and his skills were unusual
But he was still just a Soul King.
And yet…
This weak Soul King had toyed with it, calculated every move, and even managed to land an arrow inside its body.
Unforgivable.
Just a few more moments just a little more time
If it could break free from this bizarre effect, it would ensure that this human's corpse wouldn't even remain intact.
Then
It saw the human's lips curve into a smirk.
A casual attack landed on its body once more.
The next second
Boom!
The Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's floating body convulsed.
Its mind had just broken free from its dazed state when
Three massive holes suddenly appeared on its body.
One of them directly obliterated most of its heart.
A massive explosion erupted behind it.
For another three full seconds, its body remained suspended mid air, forcibly kept afloat.
Then
It plummeted.
Boom!
The massive body slammed into the ground.
Its senses finally returned, but it could feel its life force rapidly draining away
Just like all the soul beasts it had devoured before.
Only this time, it was the one being devoured.
Struggling, it lifted its head, its gaze locking onto the human standing a hundred meters away.
The moment its eyes met the human's
The human's smile widened.
So unbearably hateful.
There was no sound
But it understood the human's final words through his lip movements.
He said
"Explode."
A transparent block of ice suddenly enveloped the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger.
Inside
A multicolored toxin radiating a brilliant seven colored glow corroded its flesh at an unimaginable speed.
Finally
A gray soul ring floated above the remains.
Within the ice
Only a puddle of rainbow colored venom,
A pitch black bead,
And a strangely shaped soul bone remained.
"Yin Yang Domain Activate."
A flash of green light surged.
Han Li activated his domain again, instantly freezing the entire ice block in place.
His spiritual power wrapped around the black bead, even luxuriously coating it with a thin layer of divine power.
Inside, the black bead trembled twice
Then
It completely stopped moving.
Like a dead object.
Only then did Han Li finally breathe a sigh of relief.
In the Divine Realm
After watching Han Li's entire operation, the gods turned to look at the God of Evil.
"Don't look at me."
The God of Evil quickly denied responsibility.
"You all agreed to let me choose a soul beast to weaken the beast race in Douluo. And you saw it too he stopped the bead himself. I didn't interfere. You can't blame me for this."
"As for the inheritance matter, I won't interfere. Just think of it as a little gift for him."
The God of Evil shook his head rapidly, eager to distance himself from the situation.
Watching was fun enough he had no intention of getting involved.
Especially not with Shura's sudden change in attitude, nor the Goddess of Emotion, who had been dragged into this mess.
And worst of all Destruction had been keeping a close eye on this kid for a while now.
He refused to let himself be dragged into this chaos.
With the God of Evil's words, the Divine Realm fell silent again.
The gods turned their attention back to the scene before them.
Back in the Star Dou Great Forest
Han Li finally smiled with satisfaction as he gazed at the frozen remains before him.
Perfect.
The mission was complete, with zero errors in execution.
And even better
The Divine Realm had been watching the entire time.
His secondary objective was also achieved.
Thinking of this, Han Li's gaze drifted slightly toward the core of the Star Dou Great Forest.
The corner of his lips lifted unconsciously.
"Han Li, how's the situation?"
Two figures descended rapidly from the sky.
Their voices were urgent
It was Guang Ling and Qing Luan.
"Thank you, Master and Uncle. It was perfect. Exactly as planned."
Han Li noticed their slightly pale complexions, knowing it was due to excessive soul power consumption in a short period.
He bowed respectfully in gratitude before pointing behind him at the frozen battlefield.
"No need for thanks. Just a bit of soul power loss we'll recover in half a day. Now, let's see what's left."
Guang Ling waved him off dismissively and pushed him aside to examine the remains.
"Huh? Where's the massive tiger corpse?"
"Oh wait, it got dissolved by the poison, huh?"
"A gray soul ring… a black bead… another 'Inner Core'?"
"And this thing wait, is this a soul bone or an external soul bone?"
Guang Ling circled the frozen remains, clicking his tongue in amazement.
He felt like he had just gained a wealth of knowledge.
"Forget it. I'll call the others over, and we can ask you all at once."
"Oh, by the way give your Uncle Qing Luan a piece of that Dragon Ganoderma Leaf. I ran out of stock after sharing mine. His soul power consumption was much higher than mine, so let him recover first."
Without waiting for a response
Guang Ling immediately soared back into the sky, flying toward Dugu Bo and the others' location.
Left behind, Han Li and Qing Luan exchanged glances.
Then
They both shook their heads with a smile.
Han Li quickly retrieved a Dragon Ganoderma Leaf, handing it to Qing Luan.
After thinking for a moment
He placed another piece in his own mouth, then turned his attention to the battlefield's spoils.
