Sky-Rending Claw

The Dark Gold Terror Claw Bear's dark golden fur had astonishing defensive power, but the mangled flesh of this one's shoulder was its weak point.

If Su Xiao wanted to obtain this Dark Gold Terror Claw Bear's Soul Ring, he could only work from there.

Holy Light Divine Dragon Transformation

Su Xiao had only just released his Soul Power when the Dark Gold Terror Claw Bear noticed him before he could even attack.

"Damn it!" Su Xiao stepped into Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track, constantly leaping between the trees and changing positions.

The Dark Gold Terror Claw Bear was enormous and appeared sluggish, but its attacks covered a wide area. If Su Xiao was struck by those massive claws, it would spell utter disaster for him.

Although Su Xiao had been evading the Dark Gold Terror Claw Bear's attacks, it was extremely taxing, and each time he only dodged by a hair's breadth.

"If I keep running like this, I'll eventually exhaust myself and get slapped to death." Su Xiao's stamina had already begun to decline. He had to launch an attack.

Holy Light Divine Dragon Transformation condensed a golden spear in Su Xiao's hand, while his first Soul Ring lit up.

Holy Light Dragon Claw

Su Xiao hurled the spear at the wound on the Dark Gold Terror Claw Bear's right shoulder, with his first Soul Skill attached to it.

After releasing his Soul Skill, Su Xiao continued shifting positions. He knew this attack could not possibly threaten the Dark Gold Terror Claw Bear.

And that was indeed the case.

The Dark Gold Terror Claw Bear drew back the left claw it had been continuously attacking with and effortlessly blocked Su Xiao's Soul Skill, crushing the golden spear outright.

Though this attack had been ineffective, it had at least bought Su Xiao some breathing room. At the same time, it confirmed that the Dark Gold Terror Claw Bear's entire right arm could no longer move.

Roar!

The Dark Gold Terror Claw Bear let out an enraged roar. It had been thoroughly infuriated, and Su Xiao did not have many opportunities left.

Su Xiao remained calm. After charging up, he actually rushed toward the Dark Gold Terror Claw Bear. "Nothing ventured, nothing gained. I'm going all in!"

Stepping on a branch, Su Xiao leaped with all his strength. His landing target was the Dark Gold Terror Claw Bear's injured right shoulder.

The Dark Gold Terror Claw Bear was also on guard. Three golden claws on its left paw slashed straight at Su Xiao's body.

Controlling Crane Capturing Dragon

Su Xiao used all his Soul Power to activate Controlling Crane Capturing Dragon, only managing to stall the Dark Gold Terror Claw Bear for less than half a second. But that was enough.

He landed on the Dark Gold Terror Claw Bear's body and, after several quick leaps, reached the vicinity of the giant creature's mangled right shoulder.

"The Blazing Flame Lion King's flames haven't completely gone out. They're still burning its flesh.

This is a Dark Gold Terror Claw Bear. Any other Soul Beast would probably have been burned to ash long ago."

At the same time, Su Xiao took an exquisite silver box from the pouch at his side. Both of his hands were covered in a translucent milky-white layer—the effect of Mystic Jade Hand.

Naturally, the Dark Gold Terror Claw Bear would not allow anything to remain on its body. As it violently shook itself, its left claw also came slapping over.

The violent shaking threw Su Xiao off balance, and he fell from the Dark Gold Terror Claw Bear's shoulder, able only to grab onto its dark golden fur.

Su Xiao gritted his teeth. Using the Dark Gold Terror Claw Bear's fur for leverage, he launched himself into the air. The silver box in his hand opened, and a black needle appeared in his grasp.

King Yama's Decree. If King Yama decreed your death at the third watch, how could he let you live until the fifth?

King Yama's Decree pierced directly into the Dark Gold Terror Claw Bear's injured right shoulder, and the original blood-red flesh instantly turned black.

With no foothold to brace himself against, Su Xiao fell straight from the air. Fortunately, Holy Light Divine Dragon Transformation kept him from being killed by the fall.

Poisoned by King Yama's Decree, the Dark Gold Terror Claw Bear's flesh began to melt away continuously. No matter how it roared, nothing could change that.

Su Xiao hid to one side and watched the massive Soul Beast gradually turn into a huge puddle of black water. Floating above it was a black Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring.

"I'm afraid this place will become a forbidden zone in the Star Dou Great Forest from now on. The poison won't disperse anytime soon," Su Xiao muttered.

At the same time, he began absorbing the Dark Gold Terror Claw Bear's Soul Ring. Once he absorbed it, the system would also reward him with an External Soul Bone.

Who knew how much time passed? Only when the eastern sun was about to rise did Su Xiao exhale a breath of turbid air and slowly open his eyes.

The instant he opened his eyes, he sprang to his feet and immediately retreated, because a Soul Beast resembling a qilin stood before him.

Su Xiao warily raised his right hand. Three golden claws extended from his fingers, perfectly matching the dragon claw aura of his Holy Light Dragon.

This was precisely his External Soul Bone—the Dark Gold Terror Claw Bear Right Arm Bone.

The Soul Beast stared blankly at Su Xiao, shook its head, then turned and ran deeper into the forest.

Only then did Su Xiao let out a sigh of relief. "Next time I absorb a Soul Ring, I need someone to stand guard. If that Blazing Flame Lion King had come back, I probably wouldn't even know how I died."

Suddenly, a brilliant firework appeared to Su Xiao's east. It was probably some sort of signal flare.

"That looks like a signal from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. Teacher and the others must have found Tang San." Su Xiao immediately rushed in that direction.
