The True Netherworld Two-Headed Leopard
Oh, crap, Su Mu thought.
I have to finish this quickly. I can't let it drag on too long.
If my convenient master notices...
What if he charges straight back and chops off my leg?
Just then, two figures emerged from the darkness.
One had blood-red markings, and the other had silver markings.
Seeing this, Su Mu understood.
There were two black panthers all along.
It wasn't one panther with two forms.
The two black panthers walked forward side by side.
Slowly, their bodies drew closer and closer, gradually merging into a larger black panther.
Blood-red and silver markings intertwined across its entire body.
Only the markings on its two heads were different: one was entirely blood-red, the other entirely silver.
Good grief, now that's a Netherworld Two-Headed Leopard.
Su Mu marveled inwardly at the sight.
I didn't expect this thing to be able to separate.
It can turn into two.
This is the first time I've seen a Soul Beast like this.
That switching between blood-red and silver earlier was probably one of its abilities.
I wonder if this Soul Bone will come with a skill like that.
If I could split into two, wouldn't that be twice the fun?
Just then, the Netherworld Two-Headed Leopard, which had been walking at an unhurried pace,
took a single step and vanished from where it stood.
The next second, a sharp claw reached out of the darkness.
It swiped at Su Mu.
"Roar!"
The Three-Headed Flood Dragon lashed its tail at the Netherworld Two-Headed Leopard.
After the two collided,
the Netherworld Two-Headed Leopard was sent flying by the tail strike.
The Three-Headed Flood Dragon's presence surged.
It rose into the air, and an imperious presence poured down from above,
sweeping toward the Netherworld Two-Headed Leopard.
Pressed by that presence, the Netherworld Two-Headed Leopard retreated again and again.
The eyes of both its heads were full of resentment and unwillingness.
"Grr... grr!"
The Netherworld Two-Headed Leopard growled twice and vanished once more.
The Three-Headed Flood Dragon immediately moved.
Its tail whipped toward Su Mu's side with tremendous force.
A fierce wind howled past Su Mu.
Bang!
It seemed to have hit something.
Su Mu glanced over and saw only the Netherworld Two-Headed Leopard flying backward.
Nuoding City.
In the pleasure quarter Su Mu had once visited,
Golden Crocodile Douluo was drinking in a private room.
Two beautiful young married women with slender waists and rounded buttocks attended him.
Each hugged one of his arms and pressed it against her chest.
They also wriggled coquettishly from time to time,
trying to bring dark clouds down upon twin peaks.
Just as Golden Crocodile Douluo was tempering his state of mind,
his body suddenly jolted.
He thought to himself,
This familiar Ferocious Beast presence is the same one my elder brother Qian Daoliu and I sensed at the Worship Hall a few days ago.
And it's very close.
It should be somewhere in Nuoding City.
At that thought, Golden Crocodile Douluo stood and pushed the two beautiful women away.
He leaped through the window and onto the roof.
Looking toward the source of the presence, he couldn't help frowning deeply.
Why is it coming from Nuoding City's Spirit Hall?
Could it be...?
Golden Crocodile Douluo's expression changed, and he raced toward the Spirit Hall.
In an instant, Golden Crocodile Douluo appeared inside the Spirit Hall.
He headed straight for Su Mu's room.
"Bang!"
With the sound of splintering wood, Golden Crocodile Douluo kicked Su Mu's door open.
After getting a clear look at the scene inside,
even Golden Crocodile Douluo was stunned.
Su Mu was sitting cross-legged on the bed.
Behind him was an enormous, lifelike phantom of a Three-Headed Flood Dragon.
Its six dragon whiskers moved without any wind.
Golden Crocodile Douluo felt that even his own Martial Soul, the Golden Crocodile, was showing signs of agitation.
It was suppression from the difference in their Martial Souls' quality.
He had sensed this presence three days ago and tracked it to Nuoding City.
But the presence had vanished in an instant, and he hadn't found it.
The boy Su Mu had also said that his Martial Soul had awakened three days ago.
Now, it seemed the source of this presence wasn't a Ferocious Beast at all. It was the boy's Martial Soul!
I should have realized it sooner. His Innate Soul Power was level 20.
His Martial Soul's quality certainly wouldn't be low.
Thinking of this, Golden Crocodile Douluo came to his senses and rapped himself hard on the head.
Suddenly, Golden Crocodile Douluo noticed the swirls of purplish-black energy around Su Mu's left leg and the open lead box on the bed.
His heart went cold.
This is bad.
The boy didn't listen to me. He's absorbing that Soul Bone!
Just then, the presence of the Three-Headed Flood Dragon behind Su Mu surged.
The purplish-black energy around his left leg also grew violent.
Oh no, the boy is about to fail!
Boy, don't blame your master.
I'll find a way to help you regrow your severed limb.
Better alive than dead.
With that thought, Golden Crocodile Douluo took a sharp dagger out of his Space Soul Tool.
Inside the mental space,
the Netherworld Two-Headed Leopard had already been wrapped up by the Three-Headed Flood Dragon.
The Three-Headed Flood Dragon's three dragon heads were devouring the Netherworld Two-Headed Leopard.
As it swallowed the Netherworld Two-Headed Leopard's spiritual power, mouthful by mouthful, the Three-Headed Flood Dragon's scales grew darker and darker.
The black dragon scales covering Su Mu's body also spread over a larger area.
They gradually spread from his hands, forearms, chest, and back.
The black dragon scales on his chest and back were nearly joined together.
Su Mu looked at the changes in the Three-Headed Flood Dragon and himself.
He thought,
Just as I expected. The Three-Headed Flood Dragon grows stronger by absorbing the soul power of other Soul Beasts.
Just as Su Mu was rejoicing,
he felt an intense sense of danger.
His eyes snapped open, and he saw a dagger chopping down toward his left leg.
"Netherworld Two-Headed Leopard Soul Bone Skill, Shifting Shape and Changing Shadow!" In his desperation, Su Mu immediately used the skill granted by the Netherworld Two-Headed Leopard Soul Bone.
He vanished from the bed.
Crack!
Golden Crocodile Douluo's dagger struck the bed.
Su Mu's bed shattered, scattering pieces across the floor.
"Old man!"
"Where the hell were you chopping?!"
"If you'd actually chopped off my leg, fine, but if you'd chopped off my dick, would you still expect to see a disciple of your disciple?!"
Su Mu walked out from behind Golden Crocodile Douluo.
He glared at Golden Crocodile Douluo, his face full of anger.
Looking at the bed scattered in pieces, Su Mu grumbled inwardly,
This convenient master really doesn't hold back.
Seeing that Su Mu was completely unharmed, Golden Crocodile Douluo breathed a small sigh of relief.
But an instant later, his anger flared.
"Who told you to absorb it?"
"Boy, looks like you're asking for a flick on the head!"
As he spoke, Golden Crocodile reached out to grab Su Mu.
Su Mu suddenly appeared in the doorway.
Seeing this, Golden Crocodile recalled the time he had hunted the Netherworld Two-Headed Leopard.
Did this boy really absorb it successfully?
"Old man!"
"You just tried to chop me, and now you want to hit me too?"
"Take a flick on the head!"
As his voice rang out, Su Mu appeared behind Golden Crocodile Douluo.
He raised his hand to rap Golden Crocodile Douluo on the back of the head.
"Boy, I've got you!"
Golden Crocodile Douluo reacted quickly, turning and reaching for Su Mu's wrist.
"Netherworld Two-Headed Leopard Soul Bone Skill, Shifting Shape and Changing Shadow."
With that, Su Mu gave Golden Crocodile Douluo a slight smile.
He instantly appeared outside the room.
And Golden Crocodile Douluo was holding a chair.
