Dark Demon Evil God Tiger

After activating Spirit Detection, Huo Yuhao finally saw the true form of the creature emitting the tiger's roar.

It was a massive black tiger, pitch-black all over, with a tail composed of countless bony segments and a giant, scorpion-like barb at the tip.

"It's actually a Dark Demon Evil God Tiger? And it seems to have a cultivation level similar to Er Ming's!"

He felt a pang of awe; the opponents Er Ming sought out were truly extraordinary, almost all of them being existences on his own level.

As Huo Yuhao hesitated over whether to intervene, his pupils suddenly constricted. The Dark Demon Evil God Tiger seemed to have sensed the aura of the Emperor Auspicious Beast and changed direction, charging straight toward them.

"Oh no!"

It was said that this type of soul beast did not rely on its own cultivation, but rather on devouring others to rapidly increase its strength; the Emperor Auspicious Beast was the greatest tonic for it.

Unlike other soul beasts that feared the consequences of disrupting fate, this creature was destined from birth to be the natural enemy of all soul beasts. Once it discovered the Emperor Auspicious Beast, it would strike without hesitation.

Huo Yuhao immediately summoned his martial soul and assumed a combat stance. In his panic, the words in his heart slipped out.

"Damn it! That soul beast is coming for you, Qiu'er! Run!"

"What did you call me? Qiu'er? Are there still soul beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest that dare to attack me?"

The Three-Eyed Golden Ni's small head was practically overwhelmed by the sheer amount of information in that one sentence, and she stared blankly in the direction from which the commotion originated.

The trees ahead collapsed with a roar, and the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger lunged out.

Seeing the Emperor Auspicious Beast, a flash of human-like excitement appeared in the tiger's eyes. It leaped into the air once more, pouncing toward the still-stunned Three-Eyed Golden Ni.

"How dare you!?"

Huo Yuhao's eyes were bloodshot. His third and first soul rings lit up in succession, and an amplified Spirit Shock instantly slammed into the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's mind.

The intense pain made it lose control of its body, causing it to fall from the air and roll on the ground, howling as it tried to alleviate the tearing agony in its brain.

"Yuhao? Why are you here? Perfect, help me kill it. This tiger cannot be left alive."

Er Ming finally arrived. Seeing the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger on the ground, his eyes lit up, and he swung his fist down heavily.

At the critical moment, the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger snapped its eyes open, forcing its body up to dodge the Titan Giant Ape's fist. The missed blow struck the earth, and Huo Yuhao felt the ground tremble.

"Er Ming, I came here to find my fourth soul ring and happened to run into you both. Listen to me, that behind us is the Emperor Auspicious Beast; it must not be harmed by this beast!"

As he spoke, Huo Yuhao activated Spirit Sharing, pulling the Titan Giant Ape into the link, and then unleashed Mental Interference on the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger.

He felt a slight sense of relief; fortunately, Er Ming was here, otherwise, he would have had to summon the Snow Empress for help. The death of Qiu'er in his past life was his inner demon, and this time, he would not let the Emperor Auspicious Beast face any danger.

Er Ming finally noticed the Three-Eyed Golden Ni behind Huo Yuhao, surprised that these two were together.

However, he realized the gravity of the situation and didn't have time to dwell on it. He nodded, "This guy and I always fight to a draw; neither can do anything to the other. This time, we must take him down."

"Wait! Who exactly are you? I sensed you entering the Titan's territory last time. Why are you helping me now?"

The voice of the Emperor Auspicious Beast rang out, her eyes fixed intently on Huo Yuhao's back.

Huo Yuhao turned around, looked into those curious eyes, and finally made up his mind. His gaze softened as he spoke.

"When the battle is over, I will give you the answer. For now, get further away."

The Three-Eyed Golden Ni caught her breath. She knew this was not a battle she could participate in. She only had a thousand years of cultivation; although she could fight ten-thousand-year soul beasts, the tiger before her, comparable to a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, was far beyond her ability to contend with.

But what about this youth? The aura on him wasn't even as strong as her own, so why was he blocking the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger?

Recalling everything that had just happened, the Three-Eyed Golden Ni chose to listen to Huo Yuhao. As she retreated, she spoke urgently.

"You must promise me, don't you dare die! I'm still waiting for you to tell me the answer!"

Huo Yuhao smiled, a brilliant, radiant smile.

"I promise you."

He turned back, his gaze suddenly turning icy as he looked at the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger that had already stood up not far away.

"Er Ming, let's go!"

Er Ming pounded his chest, let out a roar toward the sky, and raised his arm to swing at the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger.

The Dark Demon Evil God Tiger shook its still-aching head and dodged the Titan Giant Ape's fist once again.

A flicker of fear crossed its eyes when it glanced at Huo Yuhao; that human's mental attack had nearly rendered it unable to fight.

Now that the Titan Giant Ape was involved, it wasn't sure if it could get back up if it took a second hit.

It had to eliminate this human first!

A fierce light flashed in the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's eyes. Huo Yuhao felt a foul wind hit his face; the tiger vanished instantly, only to reappear behind him.

This evil tiger even has the power of wind? Huo Yuhao was shocked. If not for his Spirit Detection, he would have been blindsided.

However, he didn't panic. A golden shield lit up on his body, and the tiger's claw struck the Soul Guidance Shield solidly, shattering it into a sky full of light particles.

But this successfully paused the tiger's movement for a split second. Huo Yuhao rolled forward, turned, and a dazzling emerald light erupted from his chest—the Wrath of the Ice Empress exploded with full force!

The massive recoil sent Huo Yuhao flying backward, but fortunately, Er Ming reached out and caught him in time, so he didn't suffer any injuries.

Er Ming looked at the youth in his hand with pleasant surprise; the seamless execution of that skill was something even he found impressive. Looking at the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger, half of its body was covered in fine ice crystals.

Although it wasn't frozen solid like Teacher Zhao had been, it had successfully hindered the evil tiger's mobility.

Combined with the fully activated Domain of Eternal Freeze, its speed was significantly crippled.

After setting Huo Yuhao down, Er Ming let out an excited roar and charged fiercely at the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger, giving it no chance to catch its breath.

Having slowed down, the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger found it difficult to easily dodge the Titan Giant Ape's fists. The pain radiating through its body from the occasional hit only further incited its ferocity, turning its eyes a deeper shade of crimson.

It suddenly spread its wings, releasing countless beams of black light that transformed into dozens of sharp blades, shooting toward Er Ming.

With the aid of Spirit Detection, Er Ming had already shielded his head with his arms in advance. The blades did not cause much damage to Er Ming, but they did grant the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger a brief window of opportunity.

Just as it was about to flash away from the Titan Giant Ape, a tearing sensation ripped through its mind again—it was that human!

The Evil Tiger's eyes turned blood-red as it turned its head to see Huo Yuhao's golden pupils; it was that skill again!

It didn't seem as potent as the first time, but it still interrupted its movements. Furthermore, it felt as though a portion of its mental energy had been stripped away each time it was struck.

There was no time to dwell on it, as the Titan Giant Ape's fists descended once more. Having lost its precious opportunity, the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger was entangled by the Titan Giant Ape again.

Seeing the Evil Tiger suppressed by Er Ming once more, Huo Yuhao was preparing to assist with another Spirit Shock when he heard Er Ming's roar.

"Huo Yuhao, run!"
