Su Xiao judged that a fierce battle was definitely taking place about five hundred meters away, but it certainly was not Tang San.
With the mindset that less trouble was better, Su Xiao decided to leave this place. Finding Tang San was the top priority.
But after only a few steps, Su Xiao saw towering ancient trees collapsing one after another, as if they had been knocked down by some colossal monster.
Su Xiao stepped into Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track and immediately leaped between the tree trunks. In an instant, he found a safe position, while the place where he had just stood was already engulfed in dust.
With the darkness of night and the dust obscuring his view, Su Xiao could vaguely make out two enormous Soul Beasts fighting.
"Given their size, they should be two Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts. Better not get involved," Su Xiao muttered.
Su Xiao wanted to circle around the battlefield of the two Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts, but a golden claw mark suddenly flashed through the air, followed by a pained lion's roar.
By then, the smoke had dispersed, allowing Su Xiao to finally see the true forms of the two Soul Beasts.
One was a giant crimson lion. Under the moonlight, its fur looked as though flames were burning across its entire body.
Its opponent was a giant bear with dark golden fur. With the casual swing of its golden claws, it could leave golden afterimages in the air.
"Dark Gold Terror Claw Bear and Blazing Flame Lion King!" Su Xiao recognized the two Soul Beasts at once and muttered in surprise, "A Dark Gold Terror Claw Bear of this size must be at least ten thousand years old.
"This Blazing Flame Lion King can stand toe-to-toe with a Ten-Thousand-Year Dark Gold Terror Claw Bear. Could it also be a Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beast?"
The Dark Gold Terror Claw Bear was a top-tier Soul Beast, possessing ultimate attack and defense. It also carried part of the bloodline of the Behemoth Beast.
Thus, a Ten-Thousand-Year Dark Gold Terror Claw Bear was comparable to a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast. It did not lose out at all against Sub-Dragon Soul Beasts with dragon bloodlines, and would even hunt Sub-Dragon Soul Beasts for food.
"Even without an enemy, a Ten-Thousand-Year Dark Gold Terror Claw Bear wouldn't fear a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast in the slightest. Probably only Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts at Da Ming and Er Ming's level could suppress one," Su Xiao guessed.
At the same time, a thought surfaced in Su Xiao's mind.
This Dark Gold Terror Claw Bear was ten thousand years old. His fourth Soul Ring could also be a ten-thousand-year one, if he could manage it.
"No, no. It's too difficult. Even a level ninety-five Titled Douluo might not be confident of killing a Ten-Thousand-Year Dark Gold Terror Claw Bear." Su Xiao shook his head.
Yet he had no intention of leaving. There was not no chance at all. If the Blazing Flame Lion King could severely injure the Dark Gold Terror Claw Bear, Su Xiao might have a chance to try.
The Blazing Flame Lion King suddenly let out an angry roar. The crimson fur over its body gradually dimmed, but its lion head shone brilliantly, gradually forming a massive halo in the shape of a lion's head burning with blazing flames.
The Blazing Flame Lion King roared again, and the enormous flaming lion head bit toward the Dark Gold Terror Claw Bear.
Faced with the Blazing Flame Lion King's innate skill, the Dark Gold Terror Claw Bear showed no fear. Instead, it roared like a bear and swung its massive paw at the phantom.
The Blazing Flame Lion King dodged the attack and bit down on the Dark Gold Terror Claw Bear's right shoulder. Its dark golden fur actually began to burn, and even the incomparably vicious Dark Gold Terror Claw Bear let out a scream that echoed through the sky.
At that moment, the Blazing Flame Lion King moved. It charged toward the Dark Gold Terror Claw Bear, intending to kill this ferocious creature.
Just as the Blazing Flame Lion King pounced at the Dark Gold Terror Claw Bear, the Dark Gold Terror Claw Bear suddenly swiped out with its golden claws, striking the Blazing Flame Lion King directly in its soft abdomen.
After suffering the heavy blow, blood continuously flowed from the Blazing Flame Lion King's abdomen. It struggled to rise from the ground, turned, and left, its red glow vanishing into the Star Dou Great Forest.
The flames on the Dark Gold Terror Claw Bear's right shoulder were also extinguished. It suddenly raised its head and roared at the sky, seemingly declaring its victory.
Watching the battle between the two Soul Beasts come to an end, Su Xiao could not help but sigh at the Dark Gold Terror Claw Bear's ferocity and brutality. If the Blazing Flame Lion King had not possessed some degree of defense, it would likely have been disemboweled already.
But Su Xiao's attention was already focused on the Dark Gold Terror Claw Bear's mangled, bloody right shoulder.
