Chapter 68: The Ultimate Killing Move.
2023-04-04 Author: Fu Hejun
“Thump!!!”
The Dark Devilgod Tiger felt as if it had slammed into a mountain. Although there was clearly nothing in front of it, an invisible barrier seemed to obstruct its advance.
The next moment, within a hundred-meter radius, there was a sudden flash. Immediately after, an inverted hemispherical barrier appeared where there had been nothing, firmly enveloping the surroundings impenetrably.
“I already anticipated you would try to escape.”
Ye Cheng watched impassively as the Dark Devilgod Tiger slammed head-first into the Soul Power Barrier he had secretly set up around them, leaving it dizzy and disoriented from the impact. He felt no surprise at all. Having read the original work, he knew that despite being a Soul Beast, this beast was extremely cunning, and its abilities were incredibly abnormal. If not for the Protagonist's Halo protecting Tang San in the original work, he would have been counter-killed long ago.
“Wow, so that big tiger was trying to escape just now!” Ning Rongrong exclaimed, finally realizing what had happened as she saw the Dark Devilgod Tiger ramming into the barrier.
“Indeed, this beast might only be a 50,000-year Soul Beast, but its wisdom is definitely no less than that of a 100,000-year Soul Beast. It's as cunning as a human!” Ye Cheng nodded and continued, “The most important thing is, even though it's only 50,000 years old, in terms of actual combat power, an ordinary 100,000-year Soul Beast probably isn't its match.”
“That powerful?!”
Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing were amazed upon hearing his explanation. It truly lived up to its reputation as a Soul Beast capable of rivaling a Six-winged Angel.
At this moment, the Dark Devilgod Tiger shook its head, recovering from its dizziness. It stretched out its claws and raked at the Soul Power Barrier in front of it, feeling the solid Soul Power, knowing breaking through would be extremely difficult. Now trapped in this cage, it had no choice but to fight to the death.
With that thought, it slowly turned around, fixing its gaze on Ye Cheng and the two girls in the distance. The massive Evil God Hook on its back slowly rose, swaying gently behind it. With each sway, it created a series of distorted, strange halos of light in the air. Its body was black, but the energy fluctuations it emitted were gray, a gray filled with evil aura!
The Dark Devilgod Tiger, having decided to fight to the death, slowly moved its paws, assuming a posture ready to attack its prey. It approached the three, or more accurately, Ye Cheng. The expression in its blood-red eyes was incredibly cautious; its advancing pace slowed further, yet the aura emanating from its body grew increasingly formidable.
The battle was imminent.
Compared to the Dark Devilgod Tiger's caution, Ye Cheng remained calm. Still, his left hand held the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Tower, whose radiance subtly protected himself, Ning Rongrong, and Zhu Zhuqing.
Finally.
The Dark Devilgod Tiger halted its steps about twenty to thirty meters from Ye Cheng. It no longer roared, its icy, blood-red eyes appearing terrifyingly calm.
Seeing those eyes, Ye Cheng could sense a wise gaze. It was searching for his flaws. Unfortunately, the strength gap between them was too immense; this battle had already been destined from the very beginning.
The next moment, the Dark Devilgod Tiger erupted with formidable strength. The Evil God Hook behind it suddenly swung up, and distorted ripples rapidly spun around its body, forcibly blocking Ye Cheng's spiritual power lock. At the same time, the gray aura emanating from its body transformed into gray light, instantly blooming and spreading out for hundreds of meters, enveloping itself and Ye Cheng's group of three.
“Is it truly going all out?”
Ye Cheng's eyes narrowed slightly as he mused inwardly.
After sensing the immense disparity between itself and the humans before it, the Dark Devilgod Tiger knew that the longer this dragged on, the more disadvantageous it would be for itself. Thus, it directly unleashed its own Domain with full power!
Roar!!!
The Dark Devilgod Tiger roared, and layers of gray light condensed into a spherical shape around its body, directly launching an attack towards Ye Cheng!
This was a very powerful skill of the Dark Devilgod Tiger, named Dark Devilgod Lightning. It merged its own Soul Power with evil energy, then instantly unleashed terrifying power. It was a mixed area attack combining Wind, Thunder, and Evil Attributes.
Ye Cheng's response to this was simple. He made a grasping motion with his other hand, the Flying Rainbow Sword materialized, and then he swung his sword down in a slash!
This slash utilized only the pure power of his Martial Soul, without any Soul Ring amplification. Yet, the Sword Qi it unleashed was not weak in the slightest.
Boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom—
Like rolling thunder, violent roars echoed deep within the Star Dou Great Forest, and terrifying explosions destroyed a large number of surrounding plants.
Fortunately, the nearby Soul Beasts had long been scared away by the Dark Devilgod Tiger's aura, thus avoiding collateral damage.
Ye Cheng still held the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Tower in his left hand, emitting light that protected Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing. Under the protection of this layer of light, the Dark Devilgod Lightning was completely unable to affect the three of them in the slightest.
On the other side, the Dark Devilgod Tiger's body had already flown backward, knocking down countless large trees, and a wound deep enough to show bone had appeared on its body!
In terms of cultivation, it was still more than a notch inferior to Ye Cheng. Despite its extraordinary talent, it couldn't withstand Ye Cheng's casual sword strike. Not only was the Dark Devilgod Lightning directly broken through, but its body was also severely wounded by the sharp Sword Qi, acquiring a deep gash!
At this moment, a large puddle of gray liquid spread out from beneath the Dark Devilgod Tiger. Its pair of blood-red eyes seemed to have dimmed somewhat. It lay sprawled in the distance, constantly panting, and with each breath, gray liquid flowed from its seven orifices.
That Sword Qi had struck directly into its chest cavity, extending to its abdomen, almost splitting the entire tiger in half.
It seemed the Dark Devilgod Tiger was already half-dead and had lost its ability to resist.
Ye Cheng, however, curled his lips in disdain. He had held back just now. Therefore, he clearly knew that the injuries caused by his Sword Qi absolutely couldn't make it lose its resistance. It was evident that this beast was feigning. Truly cunning!
‘Feigning? Let's see how you feign!’
Ye Cheng raised the long sword in his hand, and another stream of Sword Qi shot out.
As expected.
The Dark Devilgod Tiger sensed the bone-piercing sharpness assaulting it once more. Its dimmed eyes brightened again, and with a roar, it endured the pain and instantly charged towards Ye Cheng. Its Charge skill activated, and it arrived before Ye Cheng in an instant, like an illusion.
‘Still daring to confront me head-on?’
Ye Cheng raised an eyebrow. This time, he didn't draw his sword. Instead, he silently activated the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Tower's protective light!
The light burst forth!
Boom!
The Dark Devilgod Tiger cried out in pain, its body directly sent flying by the dazzling protective treasure aura.
But while it was in mid-air.
Suddenly, the Evil God Hook, which had been dormant, silently whipped up from its back. At the same time, its hooked shape transformed; the curved hook body instantly straightened, becoming a long Evil God's Thorn!
At this moment, the Dark Devilgod Tiger's eyes suddenly changed from blood-red to an eerie blue. It looked as if it had become an enlarged version of Zhu Zhuqing's Martial Soul True Body, the Netherworld Civet. Its previous fatigue was swept away, the gray qi stream completely turned black, and it twisted its body in mid-air, adjusting its posture before pouncing towards Ye Cheng like a dark cloud.
It didn't appear particularly fast.
However, the instant it pounced, the long tail, transformed from the Evil God Hook into the Evil God's Thorn, had already swung. A black dot of light instantly appeared at the center point between it and Ye Cheng. The intense black light immediately erupted, transforming into a massive black hole six meters in diameter.
Ye Cheng saw this scene and knew this was its ultimate killing move.
Since he had read the original work, he naturally knew about the Dark Devilgod Tiger's most terrifying ultimate killing move. Therefore, he was already prepared.
