Soul Beast Battle of Terror: The Dark Demon Evil God Tiger!

Dugu Yan's physical condition was now not much worse than Chu Lan's.

Absorbing a Soul Ring twenty or thirty thousand years old would be more than manageable for her.

Dugu Bo also wanted to find a Soul Beast with a powerful bloodline for Dugu Yan's fifth Soul Ring.

The mixed zone of the Star Dou Great Forest.

Dugu Bo cleared the way ahead while Chu Lan and Dugu Yan walked side by side, occasionally watching the dense forest around them to guard against a sudden Soul Beast attack.

Suddenly!

"Boom, boom, boom—!!!"

A succession of loud crashes came from the dense forest ahead, and Chu Lan frowned.

Dugu Bo stopped walking and stared intently ahead.

Dugu Yan stepped forward and asked with a frown, "Grandpa, could someone be hunting Soul Beasts up ahead?"

Dugu Bo said gravely, "We'll know if we go up into the sky and take a look. The higher you stand, the farther you see."

"You two wait here. Don't move!"

His figure suddenly shot into the sky as he looked into the distance.

When he saw two incomparably massive Soul Beasts a thousand meters away, he was utterly stunned.

"Whoosh—!"

Dugu Bo rapidly descended and returned to Chu Lan and Dugu Yan.

Dugu Yan hurriedly asked, "Grandpa, what happened up ahead?"

"Leave this place first!" Dugu Bo knitted his brows tightly. Rather than continuing forward, he began clearing a path to the left.

"Quick, follow me!"

Seeing this, Chu Lan and Dugu Yan exchanged a glance, both frowning.

After the two followed him for some distance, Dugu Bo finally said with lingering fear, "If we'd gone another thousand meters just now, things would have gotten troublesome."

Chu Lan frowned and asked, "What exactly happened?"

Dugu Bo said in a low voice, "In the direction we were heading, there were two incomparably huge Soul Beasts. One of them was at least over fifty meters long!"

"A Soul Beast of that size, even if it isn't a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, won't be far from one!"

At those words, Dugu Yan's face turned pale.

Chu Lan frowned in thought. From Dugu Bo's description, those two Soul Beasts were very likely the Sky Azure Bull Python and the Titan Giant Ape. When he had met Xiao Wu in the Star Dou Great Forest, this area had seemed not far away.

The three traveled more than fifty li before slowing down.

"Grandpa, if they really are Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts, are you confident you can handle them?"

Dugu Yan asked curiously. She had only heard of Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts from books and in class, and she rather wanted to see one with her own eyes.

"Well..."

A trace of embarrassment flashed through Dugu Bo's eyes as he said, "If it's only one Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, I can handle it. But if there are two..."

"Little Yan, don't believe your grandpa. He can't beat a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast." Chu Lan mercilessly tore down the front Dugu Bo had just put up.

"Who says so? Who says I can't beat one?!" Dugu Bo's face reddened.

Chu Lan was also worried that Dugu Yan would trust Dugu Bo too much, so he continued, "To defeat a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, you need at least two level-ninety-five Titled Douluo. Your grandpa absolutely can't do it alone."

Dugu Bo's expression darkened.

"Grandpa, it's okay!" Dugu Yan comforted him. "You'll always be the strongest in my heart."

Hearing that, Dugu Bo said comfortedly, "My granddaughter really does treat me the best."

Listening to the grandfather and granddaughter, Chu Lan was secretly speechless.

Suddenly—

A series of hurried rustling sounds, like leaves being trampled, came from the jungle to one side.

He immediately turned his gaze toward it.

Dugu Bo hurriedly looked over as well, his eyes turning incomparably cold and his heartbeat quickening.

After their earlier encounter, he was deeply worried about running into an overly powerful Soul Beast!

"Rustle, rustle—!"

The shrubs in the forest parted to either side. Heavy hooves crushed dead branches and fallen leaves as an enormous tiger with an exceptionally peculiar appearance slowly emerged.

Its fur was pitch-black, swallowing the faint light around it. A pair of sinister wings grew from its back, while its long, jointed tail was raised high, the enormous hook at its tip glinting with a cold, ghostly light.

It was the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger!

From its various traits, Chu Lan also recognized the Soul Beast's identity.

The Dark Demon Evil God Tiger did not roar immediately. Its head lowered slightly, and its pair of icy blood-red vertical pupils fixed firmly on Chu Lan, Dugu Yan, and Dugu Bo.

Its vicious, cunning, appraising gaze swept over the three of them one by one. A heavy, evil pressure slowly spread out, and even the wind in the forest seemed to turn cold at once.

Chu Lan quietly pulled Dugu Yan behind Dugu Bo and said in a low voice, "It's a Dark Demon Evil God Tiger. Its strength is no weaker than that of a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast. It possesses intelligence comparable to an adult human's, and its abilities are varied and strange."

"I estimate it was the one fighting those two powerful Soul Beasts earlier. It still has wounds that haven't healed. We can't confront it head-on."

Dugu Bo believed everything Chu Lan had said in just a second, then took another second to think of a solution. "Chu Lan, take my granddaughter and leave first. I'll stay behind and hold it off!"

Chu Lan secretly activated the Chicken Talisman and reminded Dugu Bo:

"Be careful."

"The Dark Demon Evil God Tiger possesses six attributes: darkness, evil, lightning, wind, time, and space. It's extremely fast, its attacks are terrifyingly powerful, and its defense is incredibly strong. Once Little Yan and I are far enough away, find an opportunity to escape immediately."

If a Dark Demon Evil God Tiger and a Dark Gold Dreadclaw Bear of the same level fought each other, the one that died would definitely be the Dark Gold Dreadclaw Bear. There was no room for doubt.

Dugu Bo nodded slightly, his cold eyes fixed firmly on the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger.

"Whoosh!"

Chu Lan wrapped an arm around Dugu Yan and flew into the sky.

The Chicken Talisman's flight speed was not particularly fast, but he also possessed the Teleportation soul skill!

Chu Lan directly used half his Soul Power and vanished with Dugu Yan in an instant. When they reappeared, they were already a hundred meters away.

After teleporting several times in succession, they had already reached a point a thousand meters away.

Dugu Bo was still confronting the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger. One man and one tiger, neither making the first move.

Dugu Bo was wary of the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's strength.

The Dark Demon Evil God Tiger was equally wary of Dugu Bo.

The aura Dugu Bo released was still immensely formidable, creating tremendous pressure on the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger.

"Awoo—"

A low growl came from the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's throat as it bared its gleaming white fangs.

If it had not sustained some injuries in the earlier battle, it would never have held back until now.

"Hmph!"

Dugu Bo judged that Chu Lan and Dugu Yan had likely escaped far enough away. With a cold snort, he slowly rose into the air.

The Dark Demon Evil God Tiger did not stop him.

If it had known from the beginning that Dugu Bo was a Titled Douluo, it would not have shown itself.

It had revealed its true form because it wanted to devour a few humans and replenish its expenditure.

But the pressure Dugu Bo displayed also made it understand that this feast would not be so easy to eat.

Only after Dugu Bo left did the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger exhale a breath of hot air, lie down, and lick its wounds.

Some of the wounds were purple and bruised, while others looked as if they had been struck by lightning.
