"Zhu Zhuyun, Zhu Zhuqing, let's make this quick!" Dai Weisi declared, his gaze shifting from She Long to the Ghost Leopard Douluo at his side.
Although She Long was a Titled Douluo, his strength was merely on par with Bloodthorn's. With the power of the Star Luo Sacred Tiger, augmented by numerous soul bones and two domains, Dai Weisi was certain of victory. He also hadn't forgotten the true objective of their mission: to capture the Ghost Leopard Douluo and help his mother, Zhu Yaqin, ascend to the rank of Titled Douluo.
"Right!" the two women cried in agreement, each grabbing one of Dai Weisi's arms as the trio released their martial souls in unison.
In an instant, a savage, eight-meter-long black tiger materialized and began to slowly advance on She Long.
She Long, in turn, released his own martial soul. Remembering their last battle, he knew the terrifying power of the Star Luo Sacred Tiger and immediately activated his Martial Soul True Body. He transformed into a two-headed python wreathed in raging thunder and crackling lightning.
"Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda!"
"Crystal of Light!"
Ning Tianyu and Chen Xue unleashed their soul skills without delay, boosting all of the Star Luo Sacred Tiger's attributes.
"Elder She Long, the pain will be over in an instant!"
With a deafening roar, the Star Luo Sacred Tiger shot forward. It slashed its razor-sharp claws at She Long's chest, moving with the speed of lightning and the fury of a thunderstorm, kicking up a violent gale.
"So fast! Third Soul Skill, Serpent's Shadow—"
Seeing the ferocious attack, She Long desperately tried to summon his soul power to defend himself, but he was a step too slow. Empowered by two support-type soul masters, the Star Luo Sacred Tiger's speed had reached a terrifying new level.
Before the purple light of She Long's third soul ring could fully bloom, the tiger's claws had already slammed into his chest.
The blow was as heavy as a mountain! The combination of extreme speed and overwhelming strength sent She Long flying like a broken kite, smashing a deep crater into the ground where he landed.
However, She Long's Martial Soul True Body was incredibly resilient; such an ordinary strike was not enough to be fatal.
"Fusion Domain, activate!"
The crimson seventh soul ring flashed, and an invisible wave locked onto She Long. Just as he prepared to counterattack, his body froze. A wave of weakness washed over him, draining his strength as if he were bound in shackles. He found himself unable to summon a portion of his power. Seeing this, She Long couldn't help but curse.
"Damn it! This infuriating domain again!"
But it wasn't over. As She Long felt his body grow sluggish, Dai Weisi struck again. A pillar of black mist erupted from the Star Luo Sacred Tiger, completely engulfing She Long.
"Soul Bone Skill: Dark Barrier!"
"Soul Bone Skill: Backlight Stealth!"
Dai Weisi activated two soul bone skills in quick succession, filling She Long with dread. The dense black fog robbed him of his sight, forcing him to rely on his spiritual perception alone. Yet, even when he extended his spiritual power across the entire battlefield, he could not find a trace of the Star Luo Sacred Tiger.
This was the power of Zhu Zhuqing's head soul bone: it could not only conceal one's body but also hide their aura, making it immune to spiritual detection. At their current level of spiritual power, once they entered stealth, only Bibi Dong and Qian Daoliu on the entire continent could possibly find them.
"Damn it! You little brat! Hiding like that is for cowards! If you have any guts, stop skulking in the shadows and face me in a real fight!"
She Long roared to the heavens, swinging his lance wildly as arcs of lightning shot out, striking his surroundings indiscriminately. The pitch-black environment filled him with panic. Worse, he could feel the mist actively corroding his soul power. At this rate, he would soon be completely depleted.
He tried to escape the fog, but under Dai Weisi's control, it clung to him like a living shadow, refusing to let him go.
"Hmph, a real fight? Was the Spirit Hall's nighttime raid on the Clear Sky Sect considered a 'real fight'?"
"Fourth Soul Skill: Nether Shadow Clone!"
As he spoke, four identical shadow clones shot toward She Long. She Long, who had been trying to pinpoint the tiger's location by sound, was instead besieged by the four clones charging at him with terrifying force.
The clones were indistinguishable from the real Star Luo Sacred Tiger and attacked from four sides. She Long had no choice but to deal with them first and find another way out.
Within the mist, Dai Weisi watched calmly as She Long struggled against the clones. Taking his time, he guided the Star Luo Sacred Tiger to circle silently behind its target. While She Long was distracted, a soul bone materialized on the tiger's head: the Spirit Condensing Head Bone.
"Soul Bone Skill: Frostfire Evil Light!"
Whoosh!
Two beams of spiritual energy—one red, one blue—shot out like twin dragons, streaking toward She Long's chest.
Transformed into the two-headed python, She Long spat a bolt of thunder to destroy one of the clones. Just as he breathed a sigh of relief, the Frostfire Evil Light struck him. Before he could even react, he was thrown to the ground, grievously wounded.
This attack was a fusion of the spiritual power of Dai Weisi, Zhu Zhuyun, and Zhu Zhuqing. Its might was terrifying to behold. The fact that She Long even survived was a testament to his powerful physical body. But from this point on, no amount of physical toughness could save him.
The Star Luo Sacred Tiger's tail began to glow with a brilliant golden light, taking on the sharpness of the Thousand-Jin Ant Emperor's mandibles. It swung down at the wounded She Long with a strike that seemed to split the heavens and the earth.
"Soul Bone Skill: Earth-Splitter of the Ant Emperor!"
A monumental golden blade of energy howled through the air with the roar of thunder and the speed of lightning. In a flash, the world-rending attack fell upon She Long, giving him no time to defend or dodge.
Puchi!
A hundred-thousand-year soul bone skill was not something one could block with Martial Soul True Body alone. With the sickening sound of tearing flesh, She Long was killed on the spot, his body sliced cleanly in two. It was a better fate than Bloodthorn, who had been reduced to chunks of meat.
No one noticed what had transpired within the black mist, as everyone else was locked in their own desperate battles.
Hidden within the fog, the Star Luo Sacred Tiger fixed its ferocious gaze on the Ghost Leopard Douluo, who was fighting Tang Xiao and three Clear Sky Sect elders.
Devil Bear Douluo had now recovered from his injuries. With his immense strength and incredibly tough hide, the Clear Sky Battle Formation could do little to harm him. Tang Xiao, only at rank eighty-seven, was no match for him. Still, he activated the Haotian Nine Absolutes, doing all he could to slow the Devil Bear Douluo's advance. The combined power of Devil Bear Douluo, Ghost Leopard Douluo, and Spirit Kite Douluo put Tang Xiao and the elders under immense pressure.
Taking aim at Ghost Leopard Douluo and Spirit Kite Douluo, the Star Luo Sacred Tiger burst out of the mist, leaping through a black soul ring like a predator through a ring of fire.
"Fifth Soul Skill: White Tiger Earth-Splitting Slash!"
The tiger's claws became a blur, leaving only afterimages as they danced through the air. In an instant, a swarm of energy blades, each sharp enough to cut through gold and steel, shot out like locusts, screaming toward Ghost Leopard Douluo and Spirit Kite Douluo.
