The Ghost Tiger and the Man Faced Demon Spider's battle continued. Liao Ya, the Shadow Soldier, lay in the bushes, its eyes, like empty black holes, fixed on the two Soul Beasts. As the king's most loyal soldier, finding suitable soldiers for the king was its most important task at the moment. Therefore, Liao Ya had set its sights on the Ghost Tiger and the Man Faced Demon Spider, while it itself waited with the mentality of a mantis catching a cicada, and the oriole behind.
Cheng Xiao, after discovering these two Soul Beasts, quickly arrived near them. Protected by the night, the two fighting Soul Beasts didn't notice the two deep, ink-like gazes staring at them from the tree trunk and bushes not far away.
"Nearly ten-thousand-year-old Ghost Tiger and a five-thousand-year-old Man Faced Demon Spider. With their addition, the strength of my Shadow Legion will be expanded a bit." Cheng Xiao licked his lips, looking at the two Soul Beasts fighting to the death below.
As he spoke, the battle between the two Soul Beasts neared its end. The Ghost Tiger let out an angry roar, then suddenly moved. Its extreme speed turned it into a black streak of light, and in the blink of an eye, it had pounced on the Man Faced Demon Spider.
The Ghost Tiger was an agile-attack type Soul Beast, and its speed was very fast. Even though it was injured and poisoned by the Man Faced Demon Spider's nerve toxin, its speed was not much affected. Its figure pounced out, but a similar black shadow remained in place.
The Man Faced Demon Spider hadn't reacted yet when the Ghost Tiger had already pounced on it. Its sharp claws easily tore open the Man Faced Demon Spider's shell, and large areas of flesh and blood spilled out.
The Ghost Tiger didn't care about anything else and opened its bloody mouth to start biting. Large amounts of flesh and blood were swallowed into its stomach, as if it was the evil killer at this moment.
However, the Man Faced Demon Spider didn't just sit there waiting for death. Its remaining six spider legs moved, and its massive body began to writhe frantically.
The weak plants were instantly corroded, and even the thickest trees shattered upon impact with its body. Within a radius of dozens of square meters, everything was in ruins, and not a single plant remained intact.
Unfortunately, no matter how much the Man Faced Demon Spider thrashed, the Ghost Tiger on its back wouldn't budge, continuing to devour the spider's flesh.
As the Man Faced Demon Spider's thrashing became weaker, a layer of blue-purple light covered its tough carapace. Purple-black liquid constantly flowed from the areas the Ghost Tiger had devoured, and it was clear the spider wouldn't survive.
Seeing that the two Soul Beasts were on the verge of mutual destruction, the Shadow Soldiers' Fang, lurking in the bushes, suddenly darted out, heading straight for the Ghost Tiger standing on the Man Faced Demon Spider.
Although Fang's cultivation was far inferior to the Ghost Tiger's, the Ghost Tiger was now at the end of its rope. Having just fought a fierce battle, it simply didn't have the energy to fight a second one, even against this suddenly appearing Soul Beast, which wasn't even a thousand years old.
However, it was still a Soul Beast on the verge of entering the ten-thousand-year rank. Although it had been poisoned by the Man Faced Demon Spider's neurotoxin, it still did its best to dodge the Shadow Soldiers' Fang's attack. The Ghost Tiger's eyes flashed with red light, and its four limbs exerted force simultaneously, moving it sideways onto a large tree. Then, using the trunk as a springboard, it tried to jump to the ground.
But what it didn't know was that above the tree, a young man holding a short sword in both hands was staring at it.
Seeing that the Ghost Tiger had personally delivered the opportunity, Cheng Xiao grinned. Shadow Power circulated within his body, and black mist surged out from his arms, enveloping the two short swords in his hands. In an instant, thick black mist swirled around the blades of the two short swords.
The next second, Cheng Xiao leaped down from the tree trunk. The short swords in his hands erupted with black light. With a "pfft" sound, the two short swords pierced into the Ghost Tiger's head without any resistance.
Clatter
Having its head pierced, the Ghost Tiger's body instantly went limp. Cheng Xiao stepped on its back and plunged vertically to the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust.
All of this happened very suddenly. The Ghost Tiger hadn't even reacted before its head was pierced.
A moment later, a nearly black thousand-year Soul Ring gradually materialized, and a purple thousand-year Soul Ring also appeared on the Man Faced Demon Spider's body.
Looking at this scene, Cheng Xiao smiled with satisfaction. He then pulled out the short swords from the Ghost Tiger's head, flicked off the blood, and laughed, "With their addition, the Shadow Soldiers' combat power will increase significantly."
As he spoke, Cheng Xiao came to the corpses of the two Soul Beasts. Without any hesitation, he stretched out his palm, and black mist erupted from his body. A dark purple light shone deep within his eyes, "Rise!"
"Ugh ah ah ah…."
Heavy cries of sorrow emanated from the two Soul Beasts. Black smoke radiated from their eyes, and as the long wails ended, shapes gradually emerged from their shadows. They were none other than the deceased Man Faced Demon Spider and Ghost Tiger.
Unlike their previous forms, a layer of black mist, like armor, appeared on the Man Faced Demon Spider and Ghost Tiger after they were summoned. Compared to their former appearances, they were now even more terrifying and chilling.
"Not bad." Cheng Xiao's lips curved into a smile, pleased with the Man Faced Demon Spider and Ghost Tiger, which had just joined the Shadow Legion.
In fact, this was Cheng Xiao's first time using the shadow extraction ability to transform the two Soul Beasts into Shadow Soldiers. The appearance of Liao Ya wasn't something he personally summoned; strictly speaking, Liao Ya's shadow was collected by the King. Therefore, after Cheng Xiao's soul power cultivation reached level thirty, Liao Ya automatically appeared.
Looking at the King standing before them, the Ghost Tiger and Man Faced Demon Spider exchanged glances, then made a respectful gesture. As Soul Beasts, they couldn't bow like humans, but that didn't prevent them from lying down to show their respect to the King.
Meanwhile, on the other side of the forest.
A young man entered the mixed area of the Star Dou Great Forest with two elder men. They looked wealthy and noble. The young man, who was walking in front of the two elders, appeared to be in his early twenties. He was handsome and wore a robe embroidered with a golden swan. His short, golden hair looked neat and clean, giving off a gentle impression.
The two elders following behind him included one who was about two meters tall, with a slender body like a telephone pole, and a golden spear in his hand.
The other elder had a neat, fiery red haircut and an incredibly sturdy physique. His upper and lower limbs were exceptionally thick, and red spikes protruded from his body. His appearance was unremarkable, even somewhat ugly.
