The Dark Demon Evil God Tiger refused to back down and once again unleashed its Dark Demon Evil Thunder, directly clashing with Dai Weisi's White Tiger Fierce Light Wave, canceling each other out.
In terms of raw power, the Dark Demon Evil Thunder far surpassed the White Tiger Fierce Light Wave. However, Dai Weisi's technique had one advantage the tiger's did not—it could be fired continuously!
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Dai Weisi hadn't expected a single beam to defeat the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger. Without hesitation, he launched over a dozen golden beams from his mouth, shooting them like arrows toward the beast.
At first, the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger was able to counter Dai Weisi's attacks using the wide-area coverage of its Dark Demon Evil Thunder. But Dai Weisi quickly switched tactics, attacking from multiple angles.
In an instant, dozens of golden beams shot toward the beast from all directions. Since the Dark Demon Evil Thunder couldn't change direction mid-air, the tiger had no choice but to take the hits passively.
Though the golden beams couldn't break through the Evil God's Guard, being hit repeatedly without being able to retaliate left the tiger feeling frustrated and suffocated.
At the same time, it was puzzled. The human before it didn't seem particularly powerful, yet his soul power felt endless.
Originally, it had planned to drag out the fight and exhaust Dai Weisi's soul power before going in for the kill. But Dai Weisi didn't show even a trace of fatigue on his face.
Unbeknownst to the beast, as long as Dai Weisi stood on solid ground, he could rapidly recover soul power—faster even than the Xuan Tian Technique of that brat Xiao San. Trying to outlast him in soul power was a death sentence.
Seeing that Dai Weisi was still launching relentless attacks, the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger realized it couldn't let the battle continue like this. If its own soul power was depleted, it would be finished.
At this point, both Dai Weisi and the tiger had the same thought—end this quickly!
"Roar!"
The Dark Demon Evil God Tiger deactivated the gray aura formed by Evil God's Guard and unleashed dozens of black and red energy blades from its mouth, shooting them toward Dai Weisi.
These energy blades completely neutralized the White Tiger Fierce Light Wave. Moreover, the tiger released fifty to sixty blades at once, completely overwhelming Dai Weisi's attack speed.
In the blink of an eye, dozens of energy blades came crashing down on Dai Weisi like a tidal wave.
"Not good—I can't dodge this. I'll have to face it head-on!" Dai Weisi muttered, then activated his fifth soul skill. His dark fifth soul ring suddenly glowed brightly.
"Fifth Soul Skill: White Tiger Earth-Shattering Slash!"
Dai Weisi's fists morphed into claws, and he slashed out over a dozen golden energy arcs like blades of a sword. They clashed violently with the incoming energy blades from the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger, the sound of explosions echoing without end.
It had to be said—Dai Weisi and the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger seemed fated to battle. Their skill sets were practically mirror images.
Dai Weisi had White Tiger Body Barrier, while the tiger had Evil God's Guard. Dai Weisi had the White Tiger Fierce Light Wave; the tiger had Dark Demon Evil Thunder. Dai Weisi had the White Tiger Vajra Transformation, and the tiger had a charging skill.
Even more amazingly, both man and beast possessed a domain ability. What kind of fate was this? It was like a mutual showdown of destiny!
After using White Tiger Earth-Shattering Slash to cancel out the incoming blades, Dai Weisi began charging power again. Ten seconds later, he unleashed a massive golden slash.
The energy blade glowed brilliantly, exploding with the full force of the power of ultimate gold, like a dragon soaring toward the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger.
The beast's heart sank. It quickly activated Evil God's Guard to defend against the strike.
Boom!
As the slash hit the gray energy barrier, thunder exploded, and sword energy screamed. The violent sound echoed through the skies. The gray aura, once considered impenetrable, shattered like glass falling from the heavens, breaking the myth of Evil God's Guard's invincibility.
With the barrier destroyed, the golden slash shot straight toward the tiger's face. But just in time, the beast whipped its tail, using the Evil God Thorn to clash with the incoming strike.
The slash's power had already weakened after breaking through the barrier. Upon colliding with the Evil God Thorn, it finally dispersed into nothingness.
Even so, the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger didn't come out unscathed. Its body flew backward like a kite with its string cut, and multiple wounds appeared on its tail's Evil God Thorn. Blood gushed from the injuries, splattering across the ground.
Although injured, the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger possessed a formidable life force. These minor wounds meant little to it.
"Even after breaking through Evil God's Guard, there's still that damned Evil God Thorn. I thought my current strength would be enough to take down the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger, but I didn't expect this beast to be so formidable!"
Dai Weisi took out over a dozen grenades from his soul tool ring and thought to himself, Originally, I planned to wait until the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger activated the Life-and-Death Arena before using these grenades to finish it off. But now I'm being forced to use them early.
I wonder if this many grenades will be enough to seriously injure the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger?
Just as Dai Weisi was deep in thought, the sound of galloping hooves echoed in the distance, followed by a familiar battle cry.
"Your Highness, don't panic! I've arrived!"
"Seventh Soul Skill: Flame Battle Tiger True Form!"
A massive tiger engulfed in flames suddenly appeared before Dai Weisi. This Flame Battle Tiger was strong and muscular, and its size even surpassed that of the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger. It was clearly Lie Tianhu.
"Fifth Soul Skill: Blazing Flame Burn!"
Lie Tianhu opened his mouth wide and spewed a scorching blaze that surged forward like a sea of fire toward the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger. The beast quickly reactivated Evil God's Guard to defend against the oncoming flames.
Lie Tianhu turned back immediately and asked with concern, "Your Highness, are you all right? Quickly—form a protective line around the prince!"
Over a hundred leather-armored soldiers with gleaming swords rushed in front of Dai Weisi, clearly members of the White Tiger Legion.
Seeing their arrival, Dai Weisi breathed a sigh of relief and quickly asked, "Uncle Tianhu, why are you here?"
"I was leading the White Tiger Legion to eliminate a group of wolf bandits in this area when I heard the sounds of intense combat. I came to investigate and didn't expect to find Your Highness here," said Lie Tianhu.
He paused for a moment, then added, "Your Highness, please retreat for now. Our reinforcements are just behind us."
"No, Uncle Tianhu. Let's take down this Dark Demon Evil God Tiger together. I'll make it my sixth soul ring!"
"Your Highness, this beast's cultivation may have surpassed fifty thousand years. You—"
"Don't worry, Uncle Tianhu. I can handle it now!" As he spoke, Dai Weisi revealed his soul ring configuration.
When Lie Tianhu saw Dai Weisi's fourth ring was already at the ten-thousand-year level, he said nothing more and immediately joined Dai Weisi in charging at the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger.
Seeing this, a hint of fear flashed in the tiger's eyes. Dai Weisi alone had already been a formidable opponent—now with the even stronger Lie Tianhu joining the fray, the threat was doubled.
Without hesitation, the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger began channeling space-time soul power into the Evil God Thorn on its tail, preparing to unleash the Life-and-Death Arena, aiming directly at Dai Weisi.
Its plan was to eliminate Dai Weisi first, then deal with Lie Tianhu.
"Your Highness, let's flank it!"
"Got it!"
Dai Weisi and Lie Tianhu launched a pincer attack, charging from left and right toward the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger. The beast welcomed the move—it thrust its Evil God Thorn toward Dai Weisi, but Dai Weisi nimbly dodged it.
However, in the exact moment he evaded the thorn, a black vortex with a three-meter diameter suddenly appeared behind him and sucked him in!
"Your Highness!"
Lie Tianhu shouted and charged at the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger, but the beast had already darted toward the black vortex.
When Dai Weisi opened his eyes again, a cold, emotionless voice rang in his ears:
"Welcome to the Life-and-Death Arena!"
