"What?"
Fierce Tiger was startled. Xiong Gu's Spirit Armor Bear martial soul gave him defenses no weaker than those of a defense-type Soul Master, yet they had been shattered by a single hammer blow.
He had thought Xiong Gu could block Tie Li's attack, so Fierce Tiger used his first soul skill to dodge behind Xiong Gu, letting him take Tie Li's blow alone.
"Pfft!"
Xiong Gu spat out a mouthful of dark red blood, his body flying backward before hitting the ground and rolling several times.
Fierce Tiger hurriedly unleashed his fourth soul skill. His already burly body swelled once more, and the black stripes on his tiger hide gleamed with a purple luster.
Fourth soul skill, Demon Tiger Shattering Strike!
Fierce Tiger unleashed his strongest soul skill. He certainly could not eliminate Tie Li, a Soul King, on his own—but he still had teammates.

Under Fierce Tiger's explosive power, the century-old Ghost Vine phantom was exceptionally fragile. However, the millennium-old Red Fire Thorn possessed greater toughness and attack power than the Ghost Vine. Fierce Tiger could not break through the Red Fire Thorn at once, buying Tie Li time.
Gu Qi and Zhang Xiaohe focused their attention on the
