To be precise, it was the Xuanwu totem on the Heavenly Emperor Cauldron Martial Soul that had reacted. There could only be one explanation for this phenomenon!
This Mutant White Tiger had most likely awakened the White Tiger Divine Beast Bloodline, which was why it had been sensed by the Xuanwu Divine Beast Totem!
He glanced at the White Tiger before him, which possessed roughly Soul Elder Level strength, and his Heavenly Emperor Cauldron Martial Soul immediately emerged!
At the same time, a Yellow Soul Ring slowly spread out around him!
"Brother Ye, are you finally using your full strength..."
Ning Rongrong, who was standing by on the side, could not help nodding to herself at the sight.
The last time she had seen Ye Xingchen use his full strength was when he had dealt with Elder Gu Rong.
She smiled faintly, then silently said:
"First: strength. Second: speed!"
At once, the power of two Soul Rings spread from her body, while the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda faintly appeared behind her!
Delighted by the Strength and Speed Boost, Ye Xingchen immediately transformed into an Afterimage and charged forward.
With a flick of his wrist, he slashed out with the Cloud Pattern Long Sword!
A Sword Qi Blade instantly flew from the sword!
"Roar!"
The Mutant White Tiger Soul Beast roared. Sensing danger, it let out another furious bellow.
The formidable strength of a Mutant Soul Elder immediately swept outward!
"Boom!"
As the two forces collided, an explosion rang out, uprooting swathes of trees around them!
Zhu Zhuqing, who was hiding in the water, was utterly astonished by the sight!
That White-Robed Man only possessed the strength of a Soul Grandmaster!
He only had one Soul Ring!
Yet he could contend with a Soul Elder!
No! He could contend with a Soul Ancestor!
Overwhelmed with shock, she swallowed and stared blankly at the battle before her!
Especially when she saw the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda on the Blue-Robed Skirt Girl, Zhu Zhuqing immediately recognized it as the symbol of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect!
She sighed softly, and began to suspect the identity of the White-Robed Man!
"Roar..."
While she was distracted, a tiger's roar suddenly descended from above!
Zhu Zhuqing looked up and saw that the White Tiger, which possessed the strength of a Mutant Soul Elder, had been lifted high into the air by Ye Xingchen.
Then he hurled it straight toward the water, leaving her incredibly embarrassed!
I'm still hiding here, and he's throwing it down here?
No! He doesn't know I'm here!
With a helpless sigh, Zhu Zhuqing immediately transformed into a Black Shadow and burst out of the water.
Looking at the White Tiger falling from the sky, she had already prepared herself to be seriously injured by the Shockwave!
She closed her eyes and instinctively ran toward the lakeshore beside her!
"Boom!"
As the surface of the water exploded, an extremely powerful surge of Soul Power swept in every direction!
Ye Xingchen stood in midair, his fighting spirit soaring as he stared at the water below.
Just as he was about to continue fighting the White Tiger to the death—
He suddenly discovered Zhu Zhuqing hiding in the water. From the looks of it, she seemed to have been avoiding the White Tiger!
He froze slightly. Seeing the explosive Shockwave—
He gritted his teeth and transformed into an Afterimage as he rushed toward her!
At the critical moment, the two collided once more!
"Ah..."
Struck by the Shockwave, Zhu Zhuqing let out a soft cry. Her body fell toward the water like a kite with its string cut.
Just as she was about to lose consciousness, a figure in white suddenly appeared before her!
His handsome face and ethereal aura made her force herself to endure the pain!
"It's you..."
Ye Xingchen nodded indifferently and ignored Zhu Zhuqing.
With a casual wave of his hand, he wrapped an arm around her slender waist and flew toward the Shore.
At the same time, a powerful stream of Spiritual Power flowed into Zhu Zhuqing's body.
"Who is she? She's so pretty..."
Ning Rongrong, who had been watching from the Shore, immediately came forward at the sight.
Looking at Zhu Zhuqing in Ye Xingchen's arms, she asked curiously:
"She was actually hiding in the water. Good thing you found her in time!"
Too lazy to explain, Ye Xingchen smiled and gently placed Zhu Zhuqing on the ground.
He glanced at Ning Rongrong and said with a smile:
"Watch her..."
Ning Rongrong nodded and immediately supported Zhu Zhuqing.
Looking at the beauty before her, whose appearance was no less stunning than her own, she could not help smiling faintly.
As soon as Zhu Zhuqing landed, her pretty face flushed red, and her eyes remained fixed on Ye Xingchen.
When she saw the figure in white rush toward the lakeshore again, a trace of worry appeared in her eyes!
"What's your name?"
"Why were you hiding in the water? Were you trying to avoid that White Tiger?"
Hearing Ning Rongrong's questions, Zhu Zhuqing nodded slightly.
"That's right. This White Tiger was hunting me!"
Hunting her?
Ning Rongrong nodded and glanced at Zhu Zhuqing, a hint of confusion appearing in her eyes.
Just as she was about to ask more, movement came from the distant lake.
The White Tiger that had fallen into the water was glowing crimson, and a burst of Geng Metal Power instantly spread through the area!
"Divine Beast Bloodline..."
"No wonder a White Tiger in this ordinary forest could reach Soul Elder Level. It had awakened its bloodline..."
Zhu Zhuqing could not help crying out in alarm. When she saw the white figure fighting it, worry quietly rose in her heart!
"Roar!"
The White Tiger, radiating crimson light, let out a roar. Empowered by the strength of its bloodline, its body expanded once more!
Treading across the water, it slapped up waves and dove straight at Ye Xingchen.
As its massive jaws opened, an indescribable stench rushed toward him!
"Has it been thousands of years since you brushed your teeth?"
Ye Xingchen covered his nose and sighed softly before taking two steps back.
Watching the Mutant White Tiger dive at him, a streak of white light erupted from his hand!
Then, the Yellow Soul Ring slowly spread outward!
Soul Skill—Ten Thousand Ton Gravity Domain!
The body of the Mutant White Tiger, which had been treading on the waves, suddenly slowed.
Seizing the opportunity, Ye Xingchen smiled and closed in with the Cloud Pattern Long Sword in hand.
"Beast! You're courting death!"
With a wave of his hand, Sword Qi Dragons burst forth one after another!
Together with the power of Xuanwu water, an isolated water enclosure gradually formed around them!
"Roar..."
With nowhere to flee, the White Tiger let out a low roar, murderous light bursting from its reddened eyes!
Ignoring the approaching Sword Qi, it relied on its astonishing physique and charged straight at Ye Xingchen!
"You want to trade injury for injury with me?"
"You're overthinking it!"
Ye Xingchen remained as steady as a mountain, showing no fear toward the White Tiger's attempt to wound them both!
On the contrary, when it closed in, he deliberately left himself wide open!
"Roar!"
The bizarre sight made the bloodthirsty Mutant White Tiger let out a low roar.
Without time to think further, it immediately pounced!
"Clang!"
Heavenly Emperor Cauldron Martial Soul!
However, as a piercing metallic clang rang out, the Mutant White Tiger was sent flying back like a corpse!
Dazed by the impact, it shook its head before realizing that a three-legged, two-eared cauldron was protecting Ye Xingchen's entire body!
"Roar..."
Unable to swallow its anger, the Mutant White Tiger let out a low roar and spat out a mouthful of blood!
Facing this opponent, whose attack and defense were nearly monstrous, it fell into despair!
Having awakened its ancestor's bloodline, it had thought it could now roam the continent freely, rise to the pinnacle of Soul Beasts, and become an existence like the White Tiger Divine Beast Ancestor!
But now, the Mutant White Tiger realized it had been thinking too highly of itself!
"Little tiger, do you still have any strength left?"
Ye Xingchen, dressed in white, smiled as he closed in on the Mutant White Tiger!
"Roar..."
Sensing that things were not going well, the White Tiger let out a low roar and instinctively fled in all directions.
Glancing at the white figure chasing behind it, it felt as if it were seeing Death beckoning to it!
"He's so strong..."
"Is he really just a Soul Master..."
At a loss for words, Zhu Zhuqing could not help murmuring as she watched the battle on the water!
"Of course! Brother Ye is a genius. No, he always says he's the Heavenly Emperor!"
"This little bit of strength is nothing to him!"
Ning Rongrong nodded proudly. Seeing Zhu Zhuqing's stunned expression, she felt inexplicably proud!
