Gai Yue instantly locked onto the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger, and at the same time, the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger, sensing a formidable foe, noticed Gai Yue hovering in the air.
Not only that, but the Sky Bull Python and the Titan Giant Ape, which had been watching closely from the side, also came into the tiger's sight.
The Dark Demon Evil God Tiger had dealt with the Sky Bull Python and Titan Giant Ape before. When it initially tried to dominate the Feng shui treasure of Star Moon Lake, it was driven away by these two beasts.
At that time, the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger only had a cultivation of 50,000 years. It tried to directly challenge the two beasts but was nearly killed and forced to flee. After that, it never ventured deep into the Star Dou Great Forest again.
For some reason today, both of the 100,000 year soul beasts had appeared together?
Not only that, the human in the sky above had locked onto it as well, and the pressure emanating from Gai Yue was no less than that from the great Ming and Er Ming.
In just a split second, the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger made a decision not to attack, but to retreat.
It was indeed confident in its own strength. If it faced just the Titan Giant Ape, the Sky Bull Python, or even Gai Yue alone, it might not have chosen to flee.
But now, facing three opponents at least as strong as Title Douluo, its choice was to run.
After all, the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's intelligence was on par with that of a 100,000year soul beast. If it didn't run now, death might await it.
With a mighty roar, the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger unfolded its black wings and immediately soared into the sky, retreating rapidly under the influence of a fierce wind.
Seeing this, Gai Yue raised an eyebrow. "Wind ability?"
Although the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's speed was decent, its cultivation was only over 50,000 years. Even though its combat power was explosive, it was still insignificant when facing Gai Yue.
Gai Yue stood on his flying sword, his nine soul rings, two yellow, two purple, four black, and one red, appearing in the air. The aura of his soul power, which was at the 90th rank, radiated out, causing the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger to accelerate even further.
Below, the Sky Bull Python and Titan Giant Ape, seeing Gai Yue's nine soul rings, especially the last one, the bloodred 100,000year soul ring, exchanged a glance of surprise.
100,000 year Soul Ring!
Both the Sky Bull Python and Titan Giant Ape, being 100,000 year soul beasts, knew better than anyone what a 100,000 year soul ring meant.
While the number of Title Douluos in Douluo Continent was scarce, they had encountered some, but they had never seen a Title Douluo with such soul ring configuration.
The 100,000 year ninth soul ring proved Gai Yue's power and talent. It also confirmed that the Frost Sword Sect behind him was indeed powerful.
After all, the 100,000 year soul ring meant Gai Yue's ninth soul ring had come from a 100,000year soul beast. A soul beast at that level was already comparable to a Title Douluo.
To hunt a 100,000 year soul beast for a soul ring, one would need at least two Title Douluos behind them.
Noticing the two beasts' emotions, Oscar smiled faintly. "Don't worry, two. If the teacher makes a move, that vile beast won't escape."
Upon hearing this, the Sky Bull Python and Titan Giant Ape exchanged a glance, no longer doubting Gai Yue's strength.
Before coming here, they had offered to assist Gai Yue in hunting the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger, but Gai Yue had refused.
He had only recently broken through to Title Douluo and needed a few battles to familiarize himself with his newfound strength. Although the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger had only over 50,000 years of cultivation, its strength was already comparable to a 100,000year soul beast, making it the perfect training target for Gai Yue.
After Gai Yue's refusal, the two beasts had explained the tiger's power but didn't press further, choosing to watch Gai Yue's performance for themselves.
Now, seeing Gai Yue's soul rings, they had no more worries.
Though Gai Yue's soul power was only at rank 93, the 100,000 year soul ring more than made up for it. Moreover, the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger wasn't truly a 100,000 year soul beast. With Gai Yue's soul ring configuration, capturing it was practically a done deal.
Gai Yue's nine soul rings flickered briefly. His terrifying soul power erupted, and with a burst of speed on his flying sword, he quickly closed the distance, causing the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger to feel an overwhelming pressure and increase its speed once more.
The Sky Bull Python and Titan Giant Ape followed, eager to witness Gai Yue's true strength.
Though the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger had only a 50,000year cultivation, it possessed wind abilities and black wings, making its escape swift.
Gai Yue chased it for a quarter of an hour before finally catching up. Realizing there was no way to escape, the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger noticed something that brought it some relief it hadn't been caught by the Sky Bull Python and Titan Giant Ape, who were still far behind.
With this in mind, the tiger's sense of danger lessened. Its eyes locked on Gai Yue, and if it was just a human, it still felt there might be a chance. Even if this human had a 100,000 year soul ring.
"Roar!"
The Dark Demon Evil God Tiger roared and flapped its wings, deciding not to retreat this time, but to strike first.
If it could take the initiative, it might still defeat the Title Douluo before it. If it could devour this human with the 100,000year soul ring, its strength might surge, potentially even breaking through to 100,000 years.
It saw Gai Yue as prey, but little did it know, to Gai Yue, it was just another prey.
"Heh, as expected from a beast with a divine bloodline, you do have some guts."
Gai Yue watched the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger charge at him and couldn't help but laugh mockingly.
In the next moment, the fifth black soul ring on Gai Yue's body lit up, and the Frost Moon Sword in his hand unleashed a terrifying chill as it swung toward the tiger.
"Fifth Soul Skill: Icebound Sword Dance!"
Gai Yue's Frost Moon Sword cleaved through the air, sending several ice blades toward the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger, as if freezing everything in its path.
The Dark Demon Evil God Tiger felt the terrifying icy energy and flapped its black wings, firing wind blades made of wind elements.
Upon closer inspection, each wind blade was infused with a black grey evil aura.
If hit by these blades, the evil aura would prevent wounds from healing and invade the soul master's body, damaging their meridians.
However, when its wind blades collided with Gai Yue's fifth soul skill, they didn't explode with force. Instead, all the wind blades were frozen in mid air and fell to the ground, unable to resist the chilling power of Gai Yue's ice.
