When the Snipe and the Clam Fight, the Fisherman Profits!

The Clawed Bear's greatest strength lay in its claws. As a being whose power had reached near perfection, if a Clawed Bear's attack struck its opponent, the consequences were bound to be extremely severe.

Clearly, the Clawed Bear, enraged by the Evil Tiger, was still holding nothing back as it launched an all-out assault.

But the Evil Tiger merely glanced at the Clawed Bear with disdain. Just as the Clawed Bear sensed the direction of its attack, a black beam of light gathered in the Evil Tiger's mouth and shot straight out at those terrifying claws. At the same time, its hind legs exerted force, and it fled directly out of the claws' striking range.

Boom!

A gale raged. The grass on the ground was instantly shredded by that terrifying impact, and the claws radiating earth-yellow light slammed straight into the black beam.

At once, that terrifying power tore the beam apart, but a trace of surprise and doubt flashed through the Clawed Bear's eyes. It had clearly sensed that this Evil Tiger intended to attack it up close, yet what came head-on had become a ranged attack.

"What a clever Soul Beast!" On the branch, Du Busi looked amazed. He had seen far too many Soul Beasts, but he had never seen one at the hundred-year level possess such intelligence.

Clearly, the Evil Tiger knew it could not clash head-on with the Clawed Bear, so it cleverly relied on its aura to disrupt the Clawed Bear's perception, then toyed with it.

Qin Ze was already staring in a daze from the side. This contest between beast and beast, a battle where life and death could be decided at every moment, sent his adrenaline soaring.

"Roar!" The Clawed Bear threw its head back and roared in displeasure. It viciously pounded its own chest, and the ferocity in its eyes grew even more frantic.

Its huge bear head constantly swept its gaze across the surroundings, because the Evil Tiger had vanished again.

Whoosh!

Suddenly, from the shadows of the thicket behind the Clawed Bear, a black figure shot out like lightning. It was the Evil Tiger!

The Evil Tiger leaped high into the air. The claws on its forelimbs had already turned completely pitch-black, and no light reflected from them at all when it shone upon them. This pair of claws seemed capable of absorbing light. At the same time, those sharp, blade-like tiger claws struck directly toward the Clawed Bear's head.

With this strike, it had calculated the opportunity when the Clawed Bear would have no time to react. The Evil Tiger was a born killer!

The back of the Clawed Bear's head was exposed within the Evil Tiger's attack range.

The certain-kill strike seemed about to succeed. No matter how calm the Evil Tiger was, it could not help feeling somewhat excited. But in the end, it was still a little too young.

With its back to the Evil Tiger, a trace of human-like mockery appeared on the Clawed Bear's face. Its intelligence was not as high as the other party's, but the battle instincts passed down through generation after generation and hidden deep within its body were not fake.

On the ground, earth-yellow currents were stealthily surging into the Clawed Bear's body. They were silent ripples.

The Evil Tiger's pitch-black claws drew closer and closer to the Clawed Bear. Yet in the next second, the earth below the Clawed Bear's back suddenly exploded, splashing up countless clouds of dust and earth-yellow currents.

The dust and currents obstructed the Evil Tiger's attack, slowing its movements by half a beat. In that very instant, the Clawed Bear suddenly turned around, swung its right arm, and violent Soul Power surged outward. Its claws instantly turned deep yellow, and a terrifying aura radiated from them.

"Hiss, hiss!" The air seemed to be torn apart, leaving faint ripples behind.

The Evil Tiger's pupils constricted. It had been tricked. In the next second, a strange scene occurred. A pair of wings actually extended from the Evil Tiger's back. It rapidly flapped both wings, forcibly making itself fly. The moment it flew up, the Clawed Bear's strike arrived right on schedule.

Whoosh!

The attack missed. The Clawed Bear's eyes revealed an incredulous look. You can fly too?

The Evil Tiger, which had dodged into the air, had not completely avoided the Clawed Bear's claw strike. The compressed impact force still hit it, and at once several ragged bloody marks were left across the Evil Tiger's abdomen. A little blood even seeped out through its pitch-black fur.

Bang!

The Evil Tiger's body flashed, once again distancing itself from the Clawed Bear. After reaching a safe position, the Evil Tiger lowered its head and looked at its own body. Although it could not see its abdomen, it could feel traces of pain.

This lightning-fast exchange gave Qin Ze an enormous shock. This was a battle between top-tier Soul Beasts. One moment of carelessness and death would follow.

"I didn't expect this Dark Demon Evil God Tiger to be able to fly too. It really is a Variant Soul Beast." Du Busi put down his wine pot and spoke in a slightly surprised tone.

Because the Evil Tiger's wings were pressed against its body and were black to begin with, if it did not actively reveal them, no one would know this fellow actually had wings.

However, as the saying went, it was like adding wings to a tiger.

With wings, the Evil Tiger's aura was clearly somewhat stronger than before.

The Clawed Bear now already had thoughts of retreat. It knew clearly that neither it nor the other party could kill the other. Rather than continue the standoff, it was better to leave early.

That was what it thought, but the Evil Tiger was different. It had already resolved to eat the other party. Its cultivation had always relied on killing and devouring to increase its strength, and this bear's bloodline was clearly among the top existences among Soul Beasts. Eating it would surely be of excellent help to itself.

At this thought, a fierce light appeared on the Evil Tiger's face. The wings on its back gently stirred. This was the sign that it was about to launch an attack.

"Roar!" The Evil Tiger roared. Above its head, countless streams of Black Airflow gathered together. In the next second, black qi like sharp arrows shot out explosively, heading toward the Clawed Bear.

The Clawed Bear's earth-yellow pupils revealed a trace of displeasure. It had already planned to retreat, yet the other party still intended to keep fighting. Since that was the case, then they would continue.

"Roar!" A roar burst from the Clawed Bear's mouth. A vortex-like sound wave rushed straight into the air and directly scattered the sharp arrows formed from black qi.

Bang!

The Evil Tiger suddenly stretched out both arms and struck the ground. At once, a black flash like an electric snake burst open across the ground. The black light was astonishingly fast, arriving directly beneath the Clawed Bear's feet.

The fur on the Clawed Bear's body instantly stood on end. Before the Clawed Bear could react, the black light actually exploded, and an extremely powerful numbing force spread outward, slowing even the Clawed Bear's reaction speed by several degrees.

Whoosh!

After controlling the Clawed Bear, the Evil Tiger's body flashed. The Evil God Hook on its back emitted a dense black light. The black light poured into the wings on its back, and at once a layer of Black Airflow like armor condensed. The Evil Tiger raised its right arm, and on the armor, the Black Airflow made the same movement.

With a "whoosh," a black qi like a battle-axe lunged fiercely toward the Clawed Bear. After doing this, the Evil Tiger's aura instantly weakened by several degrees. Clearly, it had used too much Soul Power, and at this moment it had become somewhat weak.

Although it had been numbed, causing its movements to become somewhat sluggish, the Clawed Bear showed no fear as it looked at the pitch-black battle-axe flying toward it. On the contrary, it actually spread both arms to either side. At the center of the Clawed Bear's brow, deep yellow light flickered, and its terrifying aura surged. The Clawed Bear's body even grew a bit larger.

"The Clawed Bear has activated the power of its bloodline. They've fought to a draw." Du Busi calmly glanced at the Clawed Bear's movements and said.

Qin Ze gently nodded from the side.

After releasing the power of its bloodline, the Clawed Bear's claws completely turned dark gold.

The numbing effect on its body was instantly dispelled. At the same time, the Clawed Bear raised its right arm, and dark golden Soul Power gathered onto its right claw. It swung fiercely forward, and in an instant, the air seemed to be compressed. The ground even sank slightly. With a boom, the black battle-axe and the dark golden bear paw collided.

The violent shock wave directly shattered everything around them. The ground, rocks, trees—everything within dozens of meters of the battle's impact range was destroyed.

Even from a tree a hundred meters away, Qin Ze could see just how terrifying the intensity of the impact produced by that battle was.

The rumbling tremors even traveled several kilometers away, causing countless Soul Beasts to look toward the source of the sound in terror.

"When the snipe and the clam fight, the fisherman profits!" Du Busi put away his wine pot and looked at the two giant beasts that had pushed themselves to the limit.
