Life-Death Arena

The Dark Demon Evil God Tiger had originally planned to release a portion of its protective Soul Power and reverse its time for a while, allowing its injuries to heal.

But Zhu Zhuqing had no sense of fair play.

A single Dark Gaze directly threw the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger into a state of confusion.

Dark Gaze had originally been prepared by Zhu Zhuqing specifically for the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger, meant to give her the power to break through its protective Soul Power.

Of course, it would have been best if the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger had never gotten the chance to use the Life-Death Arena.

She had also been secretly gathering strength, preparing to strike hard, but she had not expected the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger to make the same choice as her. Both had wanted to launch a sneak attack.

However...

Within the Life-Death Arena, Zhu Zhuqing looked at her hands as they continuously shrank, without the slightest hint of panic in her eyes.

Because before her, the massive Dark Demon Evil God Tiger was also being reduced in size by the power of time, its eyes dull and vacant.

In the end, Zhu Zhuqing's body returned to how she had looked on the day she awakened her Martial Soul at six years old.

"It's been a long time since I felt this weak!"

Looking at her tiny hands, Zhu Zhuqing did not feel despair. Instead, she watched the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger with great interest.

She wanted to see just how small the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger would become in the end.

When she was six, her Soul Power had been rank nine, and her physique had also been rank nine. On top of that, she had Twin Martial Souls. With such a setup, she was confident she could face any Hundred-Year Soul Beast.

Thus, under Zhu Zhuqing's watchful gaze, the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger grew smaller and smaller. Its six-meter-long body eventually shrank to just over a meter, and even with its tail, it was less than two meters long.

It was no different from a somewhat larger dog.

Though its fluffy appearance was rather cute!

Roar!

At last, the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger broke free of Dark Gaze's restraints and regained its senses.

The first thing the recovered Dark Demon Evil God Tiger did was raise its head and roar furiously at the sky.

But after roaring, it froze!

"Roar, roar roar?"

The Dark Demon Evil God Tiger roared twice in succession, but the sounds that came out were soft, babyish cries.

It hurriedly raised its two paws.

Shock!

The Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's tiger eyes widened to the limit.

Awooo!

The Dark Demon Evil God Tiger let out a mournful howl at the sky, then its expression instantly turned vicious.

Its entire tiger face gradually became ferocious as it slowly lowered its head and fixed Zhu Zhuqing with a savage gaze.

It was this person who had ruined its plans and forced it to use its life-saving ability.

Its body slowly lowered, its huge eyes brimming with brutality.

"Heh, such a tiny Dark Demon Evil God Tiger. How laughable!"

Zhu Zhuqing looked at the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger with a disdainful smile in her eyes.

It was merely a ten-year Dark Demon Evil God Tiger. She could destroy it with a wave of her hand!

Yet while she looked down on the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger psychologically, Zhu Zhuqing immediately used Martial Soul Possession, summoning the Nether Shadow Spirit Cat.

Whoosh!

The Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's eyes instantly lit up.

Then, the way it looked at Zhu Zhuqing became extremely contemptuous.

It had thought it was something special, but she was only a weak rank-nine human.

And her Soul Power was not even an Ultimate Attribute anymore.

Disappointment!

The gloating in the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's eyes needed no concealment. It was written plainly across its large face.

"Life-Death Arena activated. The victor lives, the loser dies!"

Suddenly, a vast and majestic voice rang throughout the entire Life-Death Arena.

At the same time, the barrier separating the two instantly vanished.

Whoosh!

The moment they sensed the barrier between them disappear, Zhu Zhuqing and the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger moved almost simultaneously.

Their speed was not quite too fast for the naked eye to see, but it still far surpassed Soul Masters and Soul Beasts of the same level.

Strictly speaking, though, Zhu Zhuqing was still a little faster.

Smack!

After a brief stalemate, neither Zhu Zhuqing nor the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger could defeat the other for the time being.

But just as the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger thought that continuing like this would guarantee its victory, Zhu Zhuqing's right hand suddenly became somewhat broader.

At the same time, the Dark Soul Power surrounding her abruptly transformed into Light Soul Power.

Her palm struck directly across the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's face.

Boom!

The terrifying power of the Holy Light White Tiger sent the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger flying.

The Dark Demon Evil God Tiger rolled several times across the ground and nearly tumbled straight out of the Life-Death Arena. It was utterly bewildered.

It dazedly raised its head toward Zhu Zhuqing, only to see that she no longer looked anything like a warrior of darkness.

Not only was her entire body suffused with Light Soul Power, but a pair of wings had appeared behind her. With a flap of those wings, she floated in midair.

She was clearly a warrior of justice, wasn't she?!

"Finally, I'm familiar with both types of Soul Power!"

Zhu Zhuqing looked at her hands, narrowed her eyes, and wore an expression of enjoyment.

"Then please, go die!"

She slowly lowered her head, looking down at the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger with a trace of contempt in her eyes.

For some reason, as the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger looked at Zhu Zhuqing, it suddenly felt that something was wrong.

"Self Martial Soul Fusion!"

The powers of darkness and light suddenly surged from Zhu Zhuqing's body.

Previously, because she was not yet familiar with the two types of Soul Power that were not Ultimate Attributes, she had not immediately used Self Martial Soul Fusion.

But after a few minutes of familiarization, Zhu Zhuqing had finally completely mastered these two types of Soul Power once more.

Naturally, she could now use the Self Martial Soul Fusion Technique.

The two types of Soul Power, light and darkness, merged together, while a cat and a tiger appeared at Zhu Zhuqing's left and right.

"Fusion, Nether Shadow White Tiger!"

Without the ascension of an Extreme Martial Soul, Zhu Zhuqing could not be bothered to merge into a humanoid warrior.

She directly forced the two Martial Souls together.

Rumble!

A massive White Tiger appeared in the arena.

It had white fur with black stripes, a pair of wings on its back, and an incomparably terrifying aura.

It directly forced the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger to retreat again and again.

"This is consuming a bit too much Soul Power!"

Feeling her Soul Power continuously drain away, Zhu Zhuqing decisively turned her gaze toward the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger.

When the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger saw Zhu Zhuqing looking at it, it immediately gave in. The viciousness vanished from its eyes, replaced by an innocent look in its big round eyes that even made it appear somewhat adorable.

But Zhu Zhuqing knew this was all an act by the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger. The moment she could no longer maintain her overwhelming stance, it would definitely kill her at once.

It would not show the slightest mercy. No, not even mouth-mercy!

Roar!

Ignoring the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's pleading cries, the Nether Shadow White Tiger pounced straight at it.

With one swipe of its paw, it sent the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger flying and crashing to the ground.

Before the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger could rise while seeing stars, a bloody maw clamped down directly on its neck.

Crack!

The sound of bones breaking rang out.

The Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's stiff body instantly went limp.

At the same time, the light gradually faded entirely from its wide-open eyes.

"Life-Death Arena concluded!"

Douluo Continent!

Inside the familiar cave.

As space rippled, Zhu Zhuqing and the already completely dead corpse of the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger abruptly appeared within it.

However, after coming out, the first thing Zhu Zhuqing did was not rush to search for the Evil Orb, but...

"Ptooey, ptooey! What is that taste? Why does the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's blood taste so fishy?!"

Tossing the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's corpse aside, Zhu Zhuqing hurriedly spat out the blood and fur from her mouth.

Meanwhile, as Zhu Zhuqing spat, a round bead silently opened a small black hole and tried to roll into it.

But one second before the bead could roll into the black hole, a snow-white hand like jade reached over and grabbed it!
