Chapter 182: A Fierce Battle with the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger!
The Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's pupils contracted, locking onto Hu Bai a hundred meters in front of it.
It stopped, its body sinking slightly, and air accumulating in its throat. Then, it suddenly opened its mouth, and a high-frequency vibrating sound wave emanated from it, forming a roar. The sound wave spread, and the fallen leaves on the ground were shaken up, scattering into the air.
Before the roar subsided, the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger pushed off with its hind legs, its muscles contracting, propelling its body forward.
Its four limbs alternated, its running speed gradually increasing, and its black figure weaving through the forest, raising a strong wind. As it ran, its front paws swung, and with each swing, energy condensed at the tips of its claws.
Several black-red wind blades detached from the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's claw tips, fanning out as they flew toward Hu Bai. The wind blades cut through the air, emitting sharp sounds, with stable flight paths covering the area around Hu Bai.
This was one of the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's innate skills—Evil Wind Blades!
Hu Bai spread his feet, steadying his body. He mobilized the soul power within him; the soul power circulated in his Dantian, then surged upward, flowing into his back.
Nine white fox tails extended from his back, their tips swaying slightly. The moment the fox tails unfurled, space rippled, forming a translucent halo centered around Hu Bai.
The halo contracted, and Hu Bai's body vanished from its original spot.
When the Evil Wind Blades arrived, they only struck empty air. The light blades hit the tree trunks behind, leaving cutting marks on their surfaces, and wood chips flew.
Hu Bai's figure reappeared fifty meters to the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's left.
He raised his right hand, palm facing upward, and soul power gathered in his palm.
A long bow gradually took shape, its body composed of light green energy, with a clearly visible bowstring and flowing patterns on the bow arms.
Wind Divine Artifact, Gale Wing Flowing Light Bow!
Hu Bai gripped the bow, pulling the bowstring with his left hand. The string was drawn taut, and three light green arrows condensed on it.
He released his left hand, and the arrows left the string, shooting in a straight line toward the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger.
The arrows flew extremely fast, cutting through the air and leaving brief trails.
The Dark Demon Evil God Tiger sensed the attack and stopped running. The evil energy within its body gathered on its surface, forming a layer of gray Qi, which covered its entire body and gradually increased in thickness.
Evil God Protection!
The wind arrows struck the gray Qi, producing a collision sound. The Qi rippled, neutralizing the impact of the arrows, which dissipated into the air.
"This Dark Demon Evil God Tiger is indeed not to be underestimated!"
This was his first time using the Wind Divine Artifact, yet the attack was easily blocked by the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger.
However, this was also normal. He held a Divine Artifact, but his own strength was limited, preventing him from unleashing its maximum power.
The Dark Demon Evil God Tiger exerted force again, its hind legs pushing off the ground. Its body transformed into a black straight line as it charged toward Hu Bai. Its speed was faster than before, and the gray Qi on its body stretched backward as it ran.
This is the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's innate skill—Dark Demon Evil God Strike!
An evil and spatial attack skill. The Dark Demon Evil God Tiger charges in a straight line, with attack power three times its normal strength during the charge, and its speed approaching teleportation.
No time to think.
Hu Bai's expression was solemn. He extended his left hand forward, and soul power gathered in front of him, forming a massive bronze cauldron.
The cauldron's body had heavy patterns, and its base touched the ground, emitting a dull sound. The cauldron was over three meters tall and about five meters in diameter. This was the Earth Divine Artifact, Mountain Suppressing Profound Yellow Cauldron.
The Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's body crashed into the bronze cauldron; the impact generated immense force. The cauldron vibrated, and the patterns on its surface lit up.
The momentum of the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger was halted; its body bounced back several meters, landing on the ground. It shook its head, then looked at the bronze cauldron again, the gray Qi on its body having thinned somewhat.
The bronze cauldron remained in place, unmoving, with its surface vibrations gradually subsiding.
Hu Bai stood behind the cauldron, maintaining the output of his soul power to ensure the cauldron's stable form.
The Dark Demon Evil God Tiger stared at the bronze cauldron, emitting a low growl from its throat, seemingly preparing for its next attack.
A brief calm returned to the forest, with only the sound of wind rustling through the leaves.
Hu Bai's fox tails remained unfurled, and the Gale Wing Flowing Light Bow was still in his hand, ready to launch the next attack at any moment. The Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's four limbs were slightly bent, its body taut in a state of alert.
The auras of both sides intertwined in the air; the battle was not over yet!
"Xiao Bai, use your Light Divine Artifact!" Tianmeng Iceworm reminded him.
Hu Bai nodded, retracting the bow into his body.
Soul power circulated, and a white light rose from his right palm. As the light dispersed, a long sword appeared in his hand.
The sword's body was silver-white, about three feet long, with golden patterns along its blade edge. The end of the hilt was inlaid with a circular crystal. This was his Light Divine Artifact, Holy Radiance Sun Sword!
Hu Bai waved his left hand, and the Mountain Suppressing Profound Yellow Cauldron in front of him emitted a low hum.
The patterns on the cauldron's surface lit up, extending to the ground and forming a circular halo within a hundred-meter radius around the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger.
The ground within the halo vibrated, and soil churned as six rock giants rose from underground. Each giant was about five meters tall, composed of grayish-brown rock, with thick limbs, fisted hands, and red light points flickering in their eyes.
The rock giants moved, forming an encirclement that trapped the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger in the center. Their footsteps were heavy; with each step, the ground trembled slightly.
The Dark Demon Evil God Tiger rotated its body, observing the surrounding rock giants and emitting a threatening low growl.
Several Evil Wind Blades were unleashed, attempting to pierce through the bodies of these rock giants!
Just then, Hu Bai raised the Holy Radiance Sun Sword, its tip pointing at the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger.
The crystal at the end of the hilt lit up, and golden light flowed along the blade's patterns, converging at the sword tip.
The Sky Fox Domain unfolded, and he mobilized all the surrounding extreme light elements, injecting them into the sword.
A golden beam of light shot from the sword tip, aiming directly at the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger.
The Dark Demon Evil God Tiger felt the light energy within the beam, and its body tensed.
It opened its mouth, and the wind, lightning, evil, and dark attribute energies within its body intertwined, forming a black-purple energy sphere.
The energy sphere rapidly expanded, then transformed into a black-purple lightning bolt, shooting from its mouth to meet the golden light beam.
This was the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's strongest innate attack skill—Dark Demon Evil God Lightning!
The golden light beam and the black-purple lightning collided in mid-air, producing a violent energy impact. The rock giants were affected by the impact, and the rocks on their bodies disintegrated under the aftershock.
Amidst the energy fluctuations generated by the collision, the golden light beam and the black-purple lightning eroded each other. The golden light's radiance gradually weakened, and the black-purple lightning's range shrank.
Moments later, both dissipated simultaneously, leaving faint energy residues in the air.
"Tsk, a draw?" Hu Bai frowned. "This Dark Demon Evil God Tiger is really troublesome!"
"It truly lives up to its reputation as an existence that even Da Ming and Er Ming, the two great Hundred Thousand Year Soul Beasts, find tricky!"
