In an instant, a golden spear of light was slashed out by Dai Chengfeng, enveloped in crimson-gold lightning. It shot toward the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger like a meteor.
Faced with this devastating attack—powerful enough to instantly kill a thousand-year-old Dark Golden Terror Claw Bear—the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's eyes were filled with mockery.
Casually raising its massive claw, shrouded in dense black malevolent energy, it swiped at the spear of light without haste.
In that moment, the two forces collided.
The golden spear shattered like glass under the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's effortless strike, dispersing into countless golden specks that vanished into the air.
However, just as the tiger was smugly expecting to see Dai Chengfeng's terrified expression.
The next second, it realized in shock that the youth had disappeared without a trace.
A flicker of uncontrollable anger flashed in the tiger's crimson eyes. It dawned on the beast that it had been toyed with.
The youth's attack wasn't meant to harm—it seemed to be aimed at buying time.
With a low growl of fury, waves of black mist began to spread outward from the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's body…
Soon, it sensed Dai Chengfeng's fleeing figure once again.
Roar!
At this moment, the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger opened its massive jaws toward Dai Chengfeng's retreating back, spitting out another black orb crackling with lightning.
This time, however, was different from before…
The Dark Demon Evil Lightning streaked directly toward Dai Chengfeng himself.
Wherever the evil lightning passed, trees were instantly annihilated, and the air rippled as if compressed to its limit.
"Finally, here you are!"
Dai Chengfeng felt the terrifying force closing in behind him. A chill ran down his spine—an instinctive reaction to the threat of death.
But Dai Chengfeng showed no hint of panic…
Everything was unfolding according to his plan.
"Second phase of the White Tiger Domain—Emperor White Tiger Dharma Body, descend!"
With a low shout, the phantom white tiger behind Dai Chengfeng suddenly opened its massive maw, sucking in all the blood-soaked air left behind by the Soft-Boned Rabbits' deaths.
As the bloody essence surged in, the ethereal white tiger solidified into a tangible form.
"Go!"
At Dai Chengfeng's command, the Emperor White Tiger Dharma Body charged head-on toward the Dark Demon Evil Lightning without hesitation.
Boom—!
With a deafening explosion, the Dark Demon Evil Lightning obliterated the Emperor White Tiger Dharma Body.
Seeing this, Dai Chengfeng shook his head helplessly. "After all, it's only a variant of the Emperor Blood Tiger soul beast, not the Sacred Spirit White Tiger."
"It might be strong under normal circumstances, but against the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's attacks, it could only serve as cannon fodder."
"But…"
"Your sacrifice wasn't in vain. At the very least, you detonated the Dark Demon Evil Lightning."
A faint smile curved Dai Chengfeng's lips. "First soul skill, Innate Origin Metal Qi—Condense!"
Instantly, he poured all the Innate Origin Metal Qi within his body into a single point, forming a golden shield in front of him.
Simultaneously, he raised his right arm, gripping Ye Renxin's sachet tightly, fully prepared for what was to come.
The next second—
The residual shockwave from the exploding Dark Demon Evil Lightning crashed over him like a tidal wave.
Dai Chengfeng was sent flying backward hundreds of meters like an arrow released from a bow.
However, thanks to his preparations,
And perhaps because the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger hadn't taken him seriously, Dai Chengfeng only spat out a mouthful of blood.
"Truly deserving of the name Dark Demon Evil God Tiger—even a casual strike…"
Wiping the blood from his lips, Dai Chengfeng chuckled, gazing at the damaged sachet in his hand. There was no fear in his eyes—only excitement.
Without hesitation, he leapt once more, dashing southeastward at full speed.
The Dark Demon Evil God Tiger watched this unfold, glancing back at the drained corpses of the Soft-Boned Rabbits. Roar!
For the first time, a flicker of seriousness crossed its eyes.
Previously, it had always viewed itself as the hunter and Dai Chengfeng as the prey.
But now, it felt something strange—as though things weren't so simple, as though they were slipping beyond its control.
Roar!
It growled again, its eyes devoid of mockery, now completely serious.
The next second,
It shot forward like an arrow loosed from a bow, chasing after Dai Chengfeng's fleeing figure.
In just a few breaths, the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger closed the distance with its immense speed.
This time, it cautiously positioned itself directly in front of Dai Chengfeng. Its massive body, resembling a small mountain, blocked his path.
But Dai Chengfeng showed no fear. Instead, he glanced around, a faint smile playing on his lips.
"Everything is over, isn't it?"
Roar?
The Dark Demon Evil God Tiger let out a puzzled growl, but instinctively remained on guard—even though the youth before it was merely a Soul Grandmaster.
"Come out already. How long do you intend to hide?"
"Or else, if Xiao Wu dies, don't blame me!"
"After all, she's a hundred-thousand-year soul beast transformed into human form. You should know how dangerous it is for her in the human world!"
With that, Dai Chengfeng suddenly shouted toward the surroundings.
As his words faded, two roars echoed from nearby: "Human, what did you do to Sister Xiao Wu?"
The next second, a pale azure domain instantly expanded—a Slowing Domain cast by the Sky Azure Bull Python Python. Within its range, space itself seemed to slow down.
Simultaneously, a towering Titan Giant Ape, dozens of meters tall, covered in black fur with muscles as large as mountains, charged forward.
Each step it took caused the ground to tremble violently.
Across from it stood the equally massive Sky Azure Bull Python, whose presence surpassed even the Titan Giant Ape's.
Now, the two hundred-thousand-year soul beasts fixed their gazes on Dai Chengfeng.
At the same time, they instinctively surrounded the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger, their eyes brimming with murderous intent.
The Dark Demon Evil God Tiger stared at the suddenly appearing Sky Azure Bull Python and Titan Giant Ape, along with the slowing domain enveloping it. A flicker of seriousness crossed its blood-red eyes.
Roar—!
Turning its head, it glared at Dai Chengfeng, roaring furiously. The wind whipped Dai Chengfeng's clothes wildly.
It realized it had truly been tricked by this human youth.
Now, it was ambushed, trapped within their domain.
How could it possibly kill Dai Chengfeng now? Worse still, if it didn't escape the Sky Azure Bull Python's Slowing Domain soon, survival itself would be uncertain.
But it couldn't understand—why hadn't it detected them beforehand?
"I said it's over, and it's over, right?"
At this moment, Dai Chengfeng looked at the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger, a faint smile on his face.
He then flicked a sachet into the air.
Roar!
The Dark Demon Evil God Tiger stared at the sachet, sensing the familiar pungent odor within. Instantly, everything became clear.
Reluctantly glaring at Dai Chengfeng one last time, it growled deeply and fired a streak of dark light toward him.
The Sky Azure Bull Python and Titan Giant Ape initially intended to intercept the dark light, as this youth knew Xiao Wu's whereabouts and couldn't be allowed to die.
But the next second, they seemed to realize something. Exchanging a glance, surprise flickered in their eyes, and they chose not to intervene.
Dai Chengfeng made no move to dodge either, his eyes wide with astonishment.
Raising his hand, he caught the streak of dark light in his palm.
Looking down, he saw a bone resembling a scorpion's tail appear in his hand.
Excitement flashed in Dai Chengfeng's eyes, mixed with confusion as he turned to the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger. "What is this?"
"Truly deserving of being called a Dark Demon Evil God Tiger with intelligence surpassing humans—I can't quite figure out what you're trying to do!"
