Chapter 172 - 419

The Terrified Dark Demon Evil God TigerStarry Sky Forest.

The dense primeval forest receded behind him, and Dai Yao, like a ghost, moved deeper into the Star Dou Great Forest.

Not long after they passed the outer edge of the Star Dou Great Forest, Dai Yao stopped.

"This place is far from the core of the Star Dou Great Forest. Di Tian and the others shouldn't be able to sense it. Moreover, even if something unexpected happens, I can use teleportation to leave the Star Dou Great Forest immediately."

As he scanned the increasingly dense forest that blocked out the sunlight, Dai Yao made a mental calculation.

Although Di Tian posed no threat to him, Dai Yao had come for the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger this time, and he didn't want any accidents to happen.

Immediately, Dai Yao leaped lightly and landed on a giant tree. His soul power surged, and the Divine White Tiger Martial Soul entered his body.

That sacred aura spread through the forest like ripples.

"Dark Demon Evil God Tiger, come on, I'm waiting for you here!"

Dai Yao licked his lips, his eyes filled with anticipation.

The Dark Demon God Tiger wanted to kill him and complete its own evolution, and so did he.

The spirit rings of the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger were a perfect match for his martial soul. In the original novel, even after Tang San became a Title Douluo, he still found the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger troublesome, and only managed to kill it during a battle where he was rejuvenated.

Although Dai Yao was only level 70, his Chaotic Azure Lotus Martial Soul gave him the confidence to hunt down the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger.

Dai Yao sat cross-legged on the tree trunk, pretending to sleep and regulate his breathing, waiting for the arrival of the Dark Demon God Tiger.

Golden ripples continued to spread.

In a remote cave, in the darkness, a colossal creature seemed to sense something, slowly raising its head to reveal its menacing tiger eyes.

In the darkness, a pair of eyes, as bright as lanterns and sending chills down one's spine, revealed a human joy.

That human has finally arrived...

The giant tiger slowly rose and licked its blood-stained lips.

Beneath it lay a gigantic bear spirit beast, thirty thousand years old. This spirit beast, a powerful force even in the Star Dou Great Forest, was merely its food!

This cave was the home of a giant bear, and the bear not only took over its territory but also slaughtered the bear for food.

To evade the powerful, elusive soul beasts that suddenly appeared in the Star Dou Great Forest, relentlessly pursuing him, he had no choice but to wander from place to place.

It had waited for that human for far too long. It hadn't sensed his presence for years since it last felt it in the Star Dou Great Forest.

Its intuition told it that it would gain immense benefits by absorbing that human.

At that time, it will not only no longer be afraid of the soul beasts that are hunting it, but it will also be able to defeat the two water snakes and the dead monkey in the Lake of Life.

More importantly, the evil god will no longer be its end...

With a sudden flap of its black wings, this enormous creature soared into the sky with remarkable agility, flying towards the location of the human.

Where the giant tiger flew, it left a dark trail; the trees withered, and the grass rotted.

······

Flocks of birds were startled and took flight, emitting piercing cries.

The surrounding air gradually quieted down, all the soul beasts disappeared, and Dai Yao slowly opened his eyes, revealing a knowing smile.

"It's finally here."

After scanning the surroundings, Dai Yao was surprised to find no trace of the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger.

Dai Yao's expression gradually darkened, and his gaze became somewhat wary.

"As expected of the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger, its intelligence is so high. It must be nearby. The reason it hasn't appeared is probably to make sure I have any help."

"This guy is really not to be underestimated."

Soul power surged, ready to respond to any possible attacks.

An hour later, Dai Yao remained on edge, and couldn't help but admire the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's caution.

The Dark Demon God Tiger is not only incredibly powerful, but also an excellent hunter. Lurking in the shadows, it reveals absolutely no weakness.

Dai Yao was somewhat helpless:

"An hour has passed, and it's certain I have no help. But waiting like this isn't a solution; we have to lure it out!"

Dai Yao let out a breath, feigning ease, and closed his eyes slightly, intending to turn around.

At that moment, a sudden change occurred!

A giant, dark-colored tiger leaped out of the dense forest like lightning, its claws lashing out with such speed that they were almost blurry.

Dozens of massive black and red light blades shot towards Dai Yao in an instant.

The speed was so terrifying that it couldn't be detected by the naked eye, but strangely, these ten light blades didn't make any sharp sound. Instead, they made a soft hissing sound, as if they were corroding the air.

The Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's light blades are formed by the fusion of wind and evil attributes. Each light blade is no less powerful than a human soul master's 50,000-year soul skill!

Dai Yao, who was prepared, suddenly released his eight wings and quickly rose into the air, narrowly avoiding the dozens of attacks.

The light blade missed Dai Yao and slashed at the ground.

With a series of explosions, smoke and dust rose from the ground. When the smoke and dust cleared, dozens of cracks resembling scars suddenly appeared on the ground. Within the cracks, darkness writhed as if it were alive, corroding and devouring the surrounding life.

Glancing at the ground and witnessing the power of the light blade, Dai Yao's pupils contracted slightly. Despite his preparations, he still felt somewhat troubled by such an attack.

His gaze shifted to the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger. The massive Dark Demon Evil God Tiger vanished abruptly, and a tremendous wind pressure swept towards Dai Yao's location.

In that instant, alarm bells rang in Dai Yao's mind!

With the sudden release of all six spirit rings, the third and fifth rings lit up simultaneously, and Dai Yao's entire demeanor changed abruptly, taking on a sense of returning to simplicity. He subconsciously unleashed his Explosive Step, moving a considerable distance to one side.

The next instant, the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger appeared as if it had teleported to the spot where Dai Yao had just been.

This was the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's dash skill, its speed comparable to teleportation. Although he dodged the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's attack, Dai Yao was not in good shape; the evil aura surrounding the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger constantly assaulted him.

Seeing that the human had dodged its attack, a hint of surprise appeared in the Dark Demon God Tiger's cold eyes. Even its two mortal enemies in the Lake of Life could be struck by it if they weren't careful. How had this tiny human managed to do that?

But its attack was not over yet. Once it gained the upper hand, it would relentlessly pursue its opponent, giving it no chance to retaliate. This was its hunting instinct ingrained in its very being!

Its tail, formed from countless joints, shot out like a venomous snake towards the human! Strangely, no sound was made.

The tail hook shot at an extremely fast speed, almost invisible to the naked eye, but Dai Yao could clearly feel the rapidly approaching, chilling threat.

"So fast! The Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's Evil God Hook is incredibly powerful. Even using a 100,000-year-old soul skill like Void might not completely protect it from damage. It's still quite difficult for a Soul Emperor to defeat the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger. Oh well, I guess I'll have to use my trump card!"

Dai Yao's mind raced, and he calmly thought it through.

In the next instant, Dai Yao's figure vanished, and the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's determined attack missed its mark.

Not only that, but the intense longing it once possessed vanished, as if it had never existed. When Dai Yao used his other martial soul, the allure of the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger naturally disappeared.

The Dark Demon Tiger searched everywhere for the human's figure, its cold tiger eyes now showing more doubt and solemnity. This human was not simple.

call--

A gentle breeze swept by, and Dai Yao's figure appeared not far from the Dark Demon God Tiger.

He took a deep breath to calm the surging soul power within his body. Although only a few breaths had passed, the pressure that this brief exchange had brought to Dai Yao was much stronger than that of the Great Elder of the Xingluo Dai family.

"As expected of the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger, it's a soul beast that even Tang San, who became a Title Douluo in the original story, found extremely troublesome. Although I had made ample preparations, I didn't expect that this soul beast would not only be powerful but also so cunning and cautious. Despite having overwhelming strength against me, it didn't choose to confront me head-on but instead launched a sneak attack."

"Such a powerful spirit beast deserves to be my spirit ring!"

Dai Yao's eyes flashed with a sharp light. Now that he had revealed his trump card, he would finish the battle quickly to avoid attracting the attention of Di Tian and the others.

A green lotus spear slowly appeared in Dai Yao's hand.

In the sky, the Dark Demon God Tiger also noticed Dai Yao's change, but there was still a hint of mockery in its eyes. Dai Yao's aura was too weak at the moment, posing no threat to it whatsoever. Since a sneak attack failed, it would hunt down this human fair and square.

Although it didn't understand why the aura it longed for had vanished, it was certain that the aura had come from this person. If it could capture this human, it could obtain what it desired.

A thick, gray aura shot out from the body of the Dark Demon God Tiger, quickly filling most of the space. This malevolent energy surged towards Dai Yao like a tidal wave.

Dai Yao could only try his best to control his soul power to prevent himself from being affected by this evil aura.

However, this was also Dai Yao's way of taking advantage of the situation, deliberately feigning weakness. He only had one chance to hunt down the Dark Demon God Tiger! His God-Slaying Spear was invincible, and combined with his teleportation skill, he was practically unbeatable. But all of this was based on the enemy being completely unaware of his abilities.

If the enemy knows the terror of his God-Slaying Spear, they will be on guard. In that case, if he cannot achieve victory in one strike, he will be forced into a bitter battle.

In the sky, a man and a tiger faced off, each searching for the other's weakness.

Dai Yao deliberately exposed a flaw again, but the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger hesitated for a moment and did not rush forward as it had the first time.

"This beast is incredibly cautious. Once it fell for my trick, it won't try again! Now it's trying to use these evil energies to drain my soul power and wear me down with sheer strength. Wow, this is the first time I've ever seen such a cunning creature among soul beasts!"

Dai Yao frowned as he thought.

"In that case, we'll have no choice but to confront them head-on!"

Dai Yao felt somewhat helpless, but just then, the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger shifted its gaze, no longer focusing on Dai Yao. Dai Yao immediately realized this was an opportunity. Whether the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger was deliberately luring him or genuinely distracted, it was a golden chance for him!

Dai Yao's figure vanished suddenly, and the next moment, he appeared above the head of the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger.

A deep mockery shone in the cold eyes of the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger. How could a top-tier soul beast like it lose its focus in battle? Its actions were intended to lure this human into recklessness, and indeed, its plan succeeded.

It can easily kill its prey, but what it prefers even more is watching its prey fall into its net step by step under its lure. It enjoys the thrill of intellectually crushing its opponent.

A gray current of air suddenly enveloped the Dark Demon God Tiger, protecting it like a protective shield.

Protected by an evil god!

This is the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's exclusive skill, using the aura of an evil god to protect itself; its power is comparable to Xiao Wu's Invincible Golden Body. This is also the source of its confidence in deliberately letting Dai Yao approach; it believes that no human can easily break through its defenses.

But the next moment, its mocking face froze.

The cyan spear, like a drop of water falling into the ocean, entered the evil god's protection without any obstruction and shot towards him.

No, it wasn't a drop of water falling into the ocean, but rather the evil god's protection that the gun touched was completely annihilated!

It immediately realized that there was something strange about this spear! But there was no time to think about it. This spear was a death warrant, and it had to get away immediately! The evil god's protection was so easily broken. Could its body be even harder than the evil god's protection?

The wings on his back flapped, and he burst into a sprint!

The enormous Dark Demon Tiger vanished abruptly, reappearing several kilometers away. But before it could even relax, the long spear, like a leech, appeared above its head!

The Dark Demon God Tiger was terrified, and a hint of panic finally appeared in its eyes.

But it still had a trump card: Dark Demonic Lightning, an offensive soul skill, which it couldn't use in time. Its only hope for survival was...

A resolute glint flashed in the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's eyes, instantly turning from blood red to a ghostly blue. The surrounding gray aura was also stained black. Just as the spear in Dai Yao's hand was about to pierce the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's body, the evil god hook on its tail suddenly thrust out, and a black dot appeared at the tip of the hook.

The black dot rapidly expanded, forming a black hole three meters in diameter. The instant the black dot appeared, the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger vanished, and the immense suction force emanating from the black hole swallowed Dai Yao whole.

······

A battlefield of life and death.

Strange sounds came from all directions.

"Welcome to the Arena of Life and Death. Only when one side dies can this life-or-death battle end and one leave this space. Countdown: five, four, three, two, one, begin."

As the countdown ended, the Dark Demon God Tiger looked at its shrunken body and couldn't help but show a hint of satisfaction. Although it was now only about 1.5 meters tall, far from the colossal creature it once was, with its wings spread wide, seemingly capable of blotting out the sky, it believed that the human, now shrunken, would be no match for it.

Weak humans, who haven't even awakened their martial souls, how could they possibly be a match for a genius soul beast like myself?!

However, when it raised its head and saw the human, the expression on its face suddenly froze.

That human was exactly the same as when he was outside! He was more than a head taller than him when he stood upright! That spear still gleamed with a chilling light! And that human was looking at him with a half-smile…

The young Dark Demon God Tiger could not believe what it was seeing. It retreated in fear, its eyes filled with terror.

Why didn't this human shrink? How can it possibly win?!

I want to report this; someone's using cheats! (End of Chapter)
