"Dark Demon Evil Lightning!"
The Dark Demonic Evil God Tiger roared, its blood-red pupils blazing with ferocity.
In an instant, the three elements of evil, wind, and thunder—with thunder as the core—surged violently around its body.
The three intertwined and merged, transforming into thick, dark purple lightning pillars that tore through space as they swept toward Dugu Bo and Crimson Flame.
Wherever the lightning pillars passed, the air crackled and sizzled, and the grass and trees on the ground instantly withered and charred.
This violent force, mixed with an evil aura, was several times more powerful than the previous tri-colored energy spheres, as if it intended to completely annihilate everything in its path.
"Well timed! Fourth Spirit Ability—Serpentine Heavenly Shield!"
A sharp glint flashed in Dugu Bo's eyes as he controlled the Jade Phosphorus Serpent Emperor True Body with a sudden shake.
Countless emerald-green scales detached from the serpent's body and, as if drawn by an invisible force, rapidly converged in front of him, instantly forming a massive shield as tall as three men.
The scales overlapped layer upon layer, shimmering with a cold, ghostly light and exuding an indestructible aura, shielding him and Crimson Flame behind it.
Simultaneously, Crimson Flame activated her sixth Spirit Ability:
"Sixth Spirit Ability—Thunderflame Flash!"
The Thunder Flame Phoenix True Body abruptly flapped its wings, sending countless purple lightning feathers wreathed in crimson flames shooting through the air like a torrential downpour.
The lightning feathers, accompanied by sharp whistles, accurately collided with the Dark Demon Evil Lightning unleashed by the Dark Demonic Evil God Tiger like a meteor shower.
"Crack—Boom!"
Flames and lightning violently clashed, exploding into a dazzling shower of light fragments. Under the violent energy confrontation, the force of the Dark Demon Evil Lightning was forcibly reduced by eighty percent.
Though the remaining energy still carried a fierce momentum, when it struck Dugu Bo's serpent-scale shield, it only stirred faint ripples before dissipating into nothingness moments later.
The scales on the shield trembled slightly before settling back into place, without a single crack left behind.
Seeing this, a flicker of shock and doubt passed through the Dark Demonic Evil God Tiger's blood-red pupils.
It hadn't expected the combined defense of these two to so easily withstand its attack.
With a powerful flap of its massive wings, it rose several meters higher in its circling, clearly reassessing its opponents' strength.
Dugu Bo withdrew the serpent-scale shield, the scales transforming into streams of light that returned to the Jade Phosphorus Serpent Emperor True Body. Stroking his beard, he chuckled:
"Is that all the strength you have? Not even enough to scratch an itch for this old man."
Crimson Flame also retracted the Thunder Flame Phoenix True Body's offensive, though the thunder and flames around her still blazed intensely:
"Your Highness is right. This beast is indeed cunning, but its strength is merely at this level."
The Dark Demonic Evil God Tiger, seeing the flawless coordination between the two, flashed a trace of unwillingness in its blood-red pupils, clearly realizing it was no match for them.
It fell silent for a moment, as if quickly calculating, then suddenly opened its mouth, condensing an energy sphere much dimmer than before and hastily firing it toward the two.
"Petty tricks."
Dugu Bo snorted coldly, raising his hand to summon the serpent-scale shield once more, his Fourth Spirit Ability—Serpentine Heavenly Shield—reactivated.
The energy sphere struck the shield, producing only a faint ripple before dispersing.
Yet, in that fleeting moment, the Dark Demonic Evil God Tiger violently beat its massive wings.
Using the energy collision as cover, its massive body shot toward the depths of the dense forest like an arrow released from its bow.
Its speed was noticeably several times faster than before, evidently attempting to seize the chance to escape.
"Trying to run?"
Crimson Flame's eyes sharpened as her Thunder Flame Phoenix True Body unfurled once more, wings sweeping up blazing flames.
Yet Dugu Bo stretched out a hand to block her path, his tone brimming with confidence:
"With this old man here, it won't escape!"
As his words fell, Dugu Bo abruptly sank into a horse stance, the Soul Power around him boiling violently.
The eighth Soul Ring beneath him shook intensely, radiating a profound and mighty aura:
"Eighth Spirit Ability—Time Freeze!"
With his low shout, the space for thousands of square meters centered on Dugu Bo seemed to have been pressed into pause.
Birds in the air hung suspended mid-flight, falling leaves froze in their descent, and even the wind came to a standstill.
The Dark Demonic Evil God Tiger's speeding figure also instantly stiffened in place, its massive body as if bound by invisible shackles, its blood-red pupils filled with shock and disbelief.
"Hmph, still thinking of running in front of this old man?"
Dugu Bo sneered, a point of green light suddenly glowing on his forehead as the power of his head Soul Bone activated abruptly.
"Soul Bone Ability—Medusa's Gaze!"
The eyes of the Jade Phosphorus Serpent Emperor True Body behind him snapped open, shooting out two emerald beams.
Those two emerald beams landed with sword-like precision on the Dark Demonic Evil God Tiger's spread wings.
The wing membranes covered in black patterns visibly stiffened and turned ashen gray.
In the blink of an eye, the enormous wings transformed into stone, even the eerie energy flickering on them solidified.
As the effect of Dugu Bo's Eighth Spirit Ability faded, the Dark Demonic Evil God Tiger, deprived of wing support,
Its massive body plummeted toward the ground like a kite with its string cut, crashing heavily and stirring up a cloud of dust.
It struggled to flap its wings but found them completely petrified, immovable, and could only let out a roar of fury.
"Poison Douluo, impressive skill!"
Crimson Flame watched Dugu Bo's seamless combo, a flicker of admiration in her eyes, then stepped forward, the thunderflame power around her surging abruptly.
"Next, let me finish this! Eighth Spirit Ability—Thunderflame Fury!"
The Thunder Flame Phoenix True Body behind her lifted its head high, releasing a phoenix cry that could pierce metal and shatter stone.
The eighth Soul Ring bloomed with dazzling light, and the violent energy flooded into the Thunder Flame Phoenix True Body like a tide.
In an instant, the flames around the Thunder Flame Phoenix grew even more intense, as if turning into molten magma.
Sapphire Lightning danced wildly within the flames, weaving into a massive net of energy.
"Go!"
With Crimson Flame's low shout, the Thunder Flame Phoenix True Body gave a powerful flap of its wings, and the condensed ball of thunderflame energy shot like a meteor toward the Dark Demonic Evil God Tiger on the ground.
Though its wings were petrified, the Dark Demonic Evil God Tiger still thrashed madly, its blood-red eyes filled with rage.
It mustered all its strength to drive the sinister energy within its body, black mist and dark red lightning intertwining to form a shield, attempting to block this fatal blow.
However, the power of Thunderflame Fury far exceeded its expectations.
"BOOM—!!!"
The energy ball slammed into the shield, instantly tearing it apart and detonating it.
Dazzling flames and lightning devoured the Dark Demonic Evil God Tiger's massive form, the terrifying shockwave spreading outward, kicking up a cloud of dust.
When the dust settled, only a charred giant crater remained, with the Dark Demonic Evil God Tiger lying within it, its aura withered.
Crimson Flame retracted her Thunder Flame Phoenix True Body, glanced at Su Yu, and gave a slight nod:
"Your Highness, it's dealt with."
Su Yu stepped forward, gazing at the Dark Demonic Evil God Tiger in the pit with its weakened aura. Taking a deep breath, he slowly approached the beast!
Just as he came within three meters of the colossal creature, the Dark Demonic Evil God Tiger's tail, which had been hanging limply at its side, suddenly moved!
The long tail composed of bone segments abruptly lifted, and the Evil God Hook at its tip eerily sliced through the air, tracing out a purplish-black circle.
