"W-What?!"
Ghost Leopard Douluo, who was locked in a fierce battle with the second elder of the Clear Sky Sect, never expected that someone would launch a sneak attack from behind—and with such overwhelming force.
"Fifth Soul Skill: Phantom Shadow Step!"
The moment the soul skill was activated, Ghost Leopard Douluo's speed increased severalfold. His entire body became as light as a swallow, his steps slick as though greased with oil, darting forward so fast that he left only afterimages in his wake.
He weaved and twisted through the storm of golden blade-like winds, his movements flowing like a phantom in the gale, narrowly evading the fierce bombardment of countless air blades.
But Spirit Kite Douluo at his side was not so fortunate. Without Ghost Leopard Douluo there to share the burden of firepower, she was forced to face the barrage of sharp metallic winds alone.
Realizing that an enemy had ambushed them, Spirit Kite Douluo hastily gathered soul power in defense, trying to avoid the oncoming barrage. But she was still a step too slow. In the end, more than a dozen air blades, even without much charge behind them, sliced into her.
Her calves, arms, lower back, and back were all marked with gashes carved open by razor-sharp edges, and fresh crimson blood seeped out, leaving her lightly injured.
"Damn it!"
Spirit Kite Douluo turned her head, only to see the Star Luo Sacred Tiger glaring at her, tiger eyes wide and unblinking.
"You little brat? Where's She Long? What did you do to him?"
The moment Star Luo Sacred Tiger burst forth from the dispersing black mist, both Ghost Leopard Douluo and Spirit Kite Douluo instantly realized—She Long must have already met with disaster.
"Who knows?"
From the mouth of the Star Luo Sacred Tiger came Dai Weisi's leisurely voice. "Most likely… he didn't come out of it unscathed. Hehehe…"
At the same time, the surrounding black mist completely faded, revealing the battlefield in its original form. When She Long's corpse, split cleanly into two halves, came into view, both Spirit Kite and Ghost Leopard Douluo's eyes nearly split apart in rage, their hearts trembling in horror.
"You! You actually killed She Long!"
No sooner had Spirit Kite spoken than the gazes of everyone nearby turned sharply toward the Star Luo Sacred Tiger. When they too saw She Long's bisected corpse, they were all shaken to the core.
She Long, the Snake Spear Douluo of Spirit Hall, had actually been killed just like this—by Dai Weisi and his companions?
It had been little more than ten minutes since the two sides clashed, and in such a short span of time, She Long had been slain by Dai Weisi's group?
To this, Dai Weisi merely smiled faintly. "What's so surprising about that? He isn't the first Titled Douluo to fall at our hands!"
The instant those words fell, the entire field erupted in uproar. They suddenly recalled—this was already the second Titled Douluo slain by them, and not just anyone, but an elder of Spirit Hall.
It could be said that from this day forth, the Star Luo Empire and Spirit Hall were bound in an irreconcilable feud.
Staring at She Long's corpse, Tang Xiao could not help bursting into hearty laughter, exclaiming, "As expected of His Highness the Crown Prince! In just over ten minutes, you actually managed to slay a Titled Douluo. Even I might not be capable of such a feat!"
"If His Highness the Crown Prince becomes a Titled Douluo in the future, he will surely be the strongest Titled Douluo in the history of the Douluo Continent—perhaps even possessing strength equal to that of my father!"
The Second Elder could not help but speak up. From Dai Weisi, he could see the shadow of his father, Tang Chen. At this moment, Dai Weisi was only at the Soul Sage level, yet together with Zhu Zhuyun and Zhu Zhuqing, he was able to kill She Long.
If he were to reach the Titled Douluo realm, even Tang Chen himself would have to regard him seriously. Tang Chen was known as "Invincible on Land," Qian Daoliu as "Invincible in the Sky," and Bo Saixi as "Invincible in the Sea."
If Dai Weisi were to become a Limit Douluo, he might truly embody the title of "Invincible Under Heaven!"
"Hmph, to have slain two of my generals in a row—allow me to teach you all a lesson!" Ghost Leopard Douluo's cold voice rang out. "Spirit Kite, help Demon Bear continue dealing with Tang Xiao. Leave these three brats to me!"
"As you command!"
Spirit Kite did not protest. She knew Dai Weisi possessed resistance against her flames. To fight the Star Luo Sacred Tiger head-on would be nothing but suicide.
Immediately she unleashed her Martial Spirit True Body and attacked the Clear Sky Battle Formation with full force.
"Brat, go die! Haaah!"
With a thunderous roar, Ghost Leopard Douluo's body blurred into a raging gust of wind, surging forward at breakneck speed.
In an instant, a black-striped ghost leopard pounced before the Star Luo Sacred Tiger, its dark claws sweeping forward in a deadly "Black Tiger Heart Strike," aiming straight for his face.
But the Star Luo Sacred Tiger was no slower. Sensing the fierce onslaught, he immediately leapt back in a burst of explosive speed.
"As expected of Ghost Leopard Douluo—your speed truly is strange and unpredictable!"
With his Evil Eyes of Ice and Fire, Dai Weisi saw everything clearly. During his approach, Ghost Leopard Douluo had suddenly unleashed his Martial Spirit True Body, causing both his speed and attack power to soar.
"Hmph, so you can dodge my strike? Not bad, boy—your reflexes aren't slow."
Yet Ghost Leopard Douluo's mind was far from calm. His attack speed was astonishing, to the point that even the Third Worship, Azure Luan Douluo, might not have evaded it. But the Star Luo Sacred Tiger had dodged.
His dynamic vision, reaction time, and speed were truly rare in the world!
"Heh, Elder Ghost Leopard, your speed is nothing impressive. Let me show you what it really means to be ghostly and unpredictable!"
Rather than anger, Ghost Leopard Douluo only sneered at being belittled. "Then this elder shall see just what confidence allows you to spout such arrogant nonsense!"
"You'll find out soon enough!" Dai Weisi replied coldly. Two soul rings flared in succession. "Dual Netherworld Thrust!"
As the soul skill activated, the Star Luo Sacred Tiger's speed skyrocketed. With a ferocious pounce, he lunged at Ghost Leopard Douluo, fast as lightning.
At the same time, his tiger claws gleamed like blades, shining with golden light—the Darkgolden Terrorclaws of Dai Weisi.
In the blink of an eye, the Star Luo Sacred Tiger appeared before Ghost Leopard Douluo as if by teleportation. One claw thrust forward mercilessly, aiming directly at his heart.
Though the goal was to capture Ghost Leopard Douluo alive, Dai Weisi knew he wouldn't go down easily. To subdue him, he first needed to terrify him, to hurt him, to crush his will to resist!
"Tempest Starcloud Rend!"
"Eighth Soul Skill: Ghost Shadow Demon Claw!"
Seeing the Star Luo Sacred Tiger's fierce charge, Ghost Leopard Douluo's eighth soul ring lit up with pitch-black radiance. Two obsidian claws lashed out like a storm, raking heavily toward his foe.
In that instant, the space between tiger and leopard was filled with shattering blade-light. Violent winds roared, thunder rumbled, the very void trembled. Both sides' attack speed had reached their peak. All the onlookers could see were countless afterimages colliding violently, producing a deafening chorus of explosive roars!
Under the fusion domain's support, the Star Luo Sacred Tiger grew stronger the longer he fought. In contrast, Ghost Leopard Douluo was heavily suppressed by the domain, his abilities cut in half. He was like a tiger with clipped claws, unable to unleash his full strength.
Yet even so, Ghost Leopard Douluo relied on his deep reserves of soul power to battle the Star Luo Sacred Tiger to a stalemate.
"This won't do. I must heavily wound him—end this quickly!" Dai Weisi resolved. Controlling the Star Luo Sacred Tiger, he deliberately left an opening before springing back.
Seeing his opponent retreat, Ghost Leopard Douluo darted forward like a dark storm, giving chase.
At that very moment, Dai Weisi mirrored his tactic—launching a skill while retreating.
"Soul Bone Skill: Netherworld Space!"
A domain enveloped Ghost Leopard Douluo. A wave of dread instantly welled up in his heart, his mind wavering, his movements stalling for a split second.
Seizing the moment, Dai Weisi unleashed another ability. Dense black mist erupted, rapidly engulfing Ghost Leopard Douluo's body.
"Soul Bone Skill: Dark Barrier!"
