"Hmm! Old Poison, I want this Dark Demonic Evil God Tiger as my Fifth Soul Ring!"
Su Yu's tone was resolute, his gaze firmly locked on the diamond-shaped crystal between the Dark Demonic Evil God Tiger's brows, a trace of barely noticeable anticipation flashing in his eyes.
What he truly cared about was that Evil God Orb containing the Evil God Power—the most extraordinary treasure on this Soul Beast.
Seeing his determination, Dugu Bo and Crimson Flame said no more.
Crimson Flame's body suddenly surged with Lightning, her crimson armor blazing fiercely in the dim forest, ready to provide support at any moment.
Dugu Bo moved first, flipping his palms to release deep green poisonous mist that writhed like a living creature, carrying a pungent, acrid stench as it swept toward the nearby Dark Demonic Evil God Tiger.
The Dark Demonic Evil God Tiger seemed unaware of the poisonous mist, which enveloped it completely.
Moments later, its massive body shuddered violently, the ferocious gleam in its blood-red eyes rapidly dimming.
Its limbs went limp, and it collapsed stiffly to the ground, stirring up a cloud of dust.
"It fell just like that?"
Crimson Flame raised an eyebrow in surprise. She had expected such a rare Soul Beast to be more troublesome.
She never thought it would be taken down so easily by Poison Douluo's poisonous mist.
"This Soul Beast looks intimidating, but it's nothing special. I took it down effortlessly," Dugu Bo said, stepping forward to inspect it, but Su Yu reached out and stopped him.
"Old Poison, be careful! The Dark Demonic Evil God Tiger is extremely cunning—its intelligence might not be inferior to ours!"
Su Yu's voice carried a grave tone, his eyes fixed intently on the "unconscious" massive form on the ground.
Before his words faded, he slammed both hands onto the ground, channeling Soul Power into the soil.
With several sharp "crack" sounds, thick vines as wide as bowls burst from the earth, thrusting straight toward the Dark Demonic Evil God Tiger's vital spots.
Dugu Bo was initially puzzled, thinking Su Yu was being overly cautious.
His poison was overwhelmingly potent—even Titled Douluo would struggle against it, let alone a fifty-thousand-year Soul Beast!
But the next moment, his pupils contracted sharply.
Just as the vines were about to pierce the Dark Demonic Evil God Tiger's body, the giant beast on the ground snapped open its blood-red eyes, which showed no trace of drowsiness—only cold killing intent and mockery.
Its enormous body rose from the ground with ghostly speed, far more agile than something of its size should be.
A massive claw covered in jet-black scales slammed down with a howling gust of wind.
With a "boom," it crushed the resilient vines into the ground.
The claw tips dug three inches into the earth, sending fragments flying.
"Hah, it was faking!"
Dugu Bo exclaimed, deep green poisonous energy instantly gathering in his palm.
"This Soul Beast is quite sly!"
Crimson Flame immediately went on high alert, Lightning crackling around her as her crimson armor reflected the scattered forest light, her aura soaring abruptly:
"Your Highness, step back! Allow your subordinate to handle it!"
After landing, the Dark Demonic Evil God Tiger let out a low growl at the trio.
Its fangs glinted coldly—clearly, the earlier "unconsciousness" had been a ruse to lure them in.
The black crystal on its forehead glowed with swirling red light, while the dark mist and crimson lightning around it surged more violently, showing it was truly ready for battle.
Just as Dugu Bo and Crimson Flame gathered their Soul Power, preparing to launch a fierce assault—
A coarse, grating voice abruptly rang out, like two rusted iron tools scraping against each other—the voice actually came from the Dark Demonic Evil God Tiger!
"You smell delicious..."
Its pair of blood-red vertical pupils locked firmly onto Su Yu, its massive head lowering slightly.
Foul-smelling drool dripped from the corner of its mouth, hitting the ground and instantly corroding the soil into small pits.
"The power within you far surpasses these two monkeys..."
Its voice carried an inhuman greed, each word seeming to be squeezed out from between its teeth.
"If I devour you, I will surely ascend to the next level!"
Both Dugu Bo and Crimson Flame were startled, their steps halting instinctively.
For a Soul Beast to speak human language, it either had cultivation surpassing a hundred thousand years or possessed a special bloodline and extraordinary intelligence.
This Dark Demonic Evil God Tiger was clearly the latter!
Su Yu's heart also tightened, but it was quickly replaced by an even fiercer fighting spirit.
Staring at the giant tiger radiating intense killing intent, he slowly clenched his fists:
"You want to eat me? That depends on whether you have the ability!"
The Dark Demonic Evil God Tiger let out a low chuckle, its laughter rumbling like muffled thunder, shaking the surrounding leaves into a rustling frenzy.
The black crystal on its forehead blazed with red light, and the black mist around it instantly spread, carrying a pungent evil aura as it surged toward the trio.
"Then let's test it!"
With a roar, its massive body shot forward, its speed even faster than before.
Jet-black claws tore through the air with a sharp whistle, lunging straight for Su Yu!
"Wood Release: Wood Lock Wall!"
Su Yu shouted, slamming both hands onto the ground as Soul Power poured into the earth like a tidal wave.
In an instant, countless branches as thick as bowls burst from the soil, intertwining and weaving before him.
They rapidly formed several thick arched barriers, the surfaces of the branches shimmering with a faint glow, exuding immense vitality.
Seeing this, the Dark Demonic Evil God Tiger's blood-red eyes flickered with surprise, clearly encountering such a bizarre technique for the first time.
But it showed no hesitation, its massive body accelerating abruptly as it slammed its giant claw against the wooden barrier with the force of a thousand jun.
Boom—!
A deafening explosion erupted through the forest, the shockwave sending leaves flying in all directions.
Where the tiger's claw collided with the Wood Lock Wall, splinters of wood and sparks scattered.
It shook its head slightly, staring at the unmoving barrier. Instead of frustration, its eyes burned with even fiercer excitement!
The more peculiar the prey, the more it aroused its savagery.
The Dark Demonic Evil God Tiger bared its fangs, revealing pale, menacing teeth, its foul breath mingling with the spreading black mist.
It fixed its gaze on the barrier, a low growl rumbling in its throat.
This human's flesh and blood must be more delicious than any creature it had ever devoured!!!
At that moment, Dugu Bo and Crimson Flame simultaneously appeared behind the Dark Demonic Evil God Tiger.
Crimson Flame's figure flickered as lightning and flames erupted around her, her Fifth Soul Ring glowing brightly at her feet:
"Fifth Spirit Ability: Thunderfire Resonance!As she spoke, crimson flames and blue lightning intertwined into a violent torrent of energy.
Like a blazing thunder phoenix, it tore through the air with a sharp whistle, crashing toward the Dark Demonic Evil God Tiger's back.
Almost simultaneously, Dugu Bo also sprang into action.
He formed hand seals as his Fifth Soul Ring shimmered, condensing dark green Soul Power into countless phantom venomous pythons that lunged forth with bared fangs:
"Fifth Spirit Ability - Serpent Shadow Multitude!"
Just as the two great Spirit Abilities were about to strike the Dark Demonic Evil God Tiger, a spatial ripple appeared behind him.
Immediately after, the Dark Demonic Evil God Tiger's body vanished directly into thin air.
