Chapter 21: A Feint to the East and Attack to the West; the Golden-haired Lion Mastiff's True Target Is Zi Ji

"You damned brat, how had your strength already reached over four hundred thousand years?"

Although one of his wings was injured.

Di Tian's various instincts had not diminished.

He immediately sensed that something was off about the opponent before him.

The day before, this lion mastiff's strength had only just reached over two hundred thousand years.

Who would have thought that after a single day, the brat's strength would already be approaching five hundred thousand years!

But why had neither the three-hundred-thousand-year nor the four-hundred-thousand-year heavenly tribulation appeared?

Di Tian found it utterly incomprehensible.

"Old loach, you have a good eye!"

"But you talk far too much!"

"Die!"

"Boom!"

The Golden-Haired Lion Mastiff had no intention of reminiscing with his old opponent.

Strike while he was down and finish him off!

That was an eternal truth.

He spat a mouthful of scorching flames at Di Tian.

Since his level had risen, this flame-breathing skill inherited from the Hell Demon Dragon had even surpassed that of its original owner by far.

Even Di Tian felt a headache coming on when he saw those flames.

"You!"

"Damn it!"

"Brat, you forced me to use my ultimate move!"

"I, the Beast God, will let you witness the Dragon God's personally imparted divine skill from back then—the Dragon God's Claw!"

Di Tian was truly enraged.

He was even preparing to unleash his ultimate move.

The terrifying Black Dragon ignored the flames rushing toward him and raised his right claw high.

A gigantic golden claw condensed in midair!

With an unstoppable force, it came crashing fiercely down toward the ground.

"Die!"

That aura, that terrifying momentum.

It made the entire Star Dou Great Forest tremble.

But in the next moment, Di Tian's pupils suddenly contracted.

"Where is he?"

Behind the already terrifying blaze.

The Golden-Haired Lion Mastiff had vanished!

That seemingly terrifying fireball had actually been nothing more than a smokescreen to conceal his tracks!

"Not good!"

"I've been tricked!"

Di Tian immediately realized that he had fallen for a diversion.

He quickly turned his head toward his two women.

Di Tian was still quite clever.

Unfortunately, he had reacted a beat too slowly.

The Golden-Haired Lion Mastiff understood this Beast God far too well.

If he fought Di Tian to the death, he could certainly win.

But he would definitely be injured.

Moreover, the Silver Dragon King Gu Yuena was lurking in the shadows. As long as anyone attacked Di Tian, she would certainly show no mercy.

So the Golden-Haired Lion Mastiff had pulled off a beautiful feint.

He fled after injuring one of Di Tian's wings.

As long as Di Tian lost his ability to react quickly.

He would have no time to rescue Zi JI and Bi Ji!

"Since they're both dragons, I can't eat myself fat in one bite. I'll pick the tender one first!"

"Boom!"

Just as the lion mastiff rapidly shifted battlefields.

A dense series of fiery explosions came from the forest ahead!

Myriad Demon King had intercepted Zi JI.

The two sides were exchanging attacks!

Having become a Wraith Servant, Myriad Demon King's power had weakened somewhat.

Coupled with the Hell Demon Dragon's tough hide and thick scales.

He had unexpectedly failed to take her down in a short time.

As for Bi Ji, although her cultivation was higher.

She was, after all, merely a healer.

So Demon Spirit could barely hold her back.

"You two brats, hold on! I'm coming!"

There seemed to be an extremely close connection between the Wraith Servants and their original body.

It felt like being able to control one's own fingers and toes.

Without the slightest delay.

Just as Myriad Demon King sent out another wave of binding attacks.

The Golden-Haired Lion Mastiff burst out from deep within the branches.

He directly scared Zi JI stiff!

"Why are you here?"

"Could it be Lord Di Tian—"

"Why do you dragons love talking so much nonsense?"

"Come with me obediently!"

Ignoring her flames.

The Golden-Haired Lion Mastiff practically charged forward through the flames Zi JI had spewed out.

Because those small flames were blocked by the scales covering the Golden-Haired Lion Mastiff's body.

They could not affect him at all.

And at the very instant he broke through the flames.

The Golden-Haired Lion Mastiff's claw pierced straight through the Hell Demon Dragon's shoulder.

Those heavy scales might as well have not existed; they were effortlessly torn through.

"Roar!"

"Ah, you!"

Feeling the pain radiating from her shoulder, Zi JI immediately screamed in agony.

But her breathing quickly turned ragged.

In terms of a human body, that spot was called the pipa bone.

Once it was pierced through.

Even an Ultimate Douluo would lose more than half of their combat power.

An ordinary soul master might be paralyzed outright.

"Little dragoness, let's find somewhere else to continue our old romance. Last time, I had a sip of dragon blood. This time, shouldn't I get to taste some dragon meat?"

"Roar!"

Just as the Golden-Haired Lion Mastiff succeeded with one strike.

The Beast God Di Tian's roar sounded again from the forest behind him.

Although his wing was damaged, Di Tian's speed was still astonishing.

And faintly, a streak of white light could be seen following alongside him.

Gu Yuena had most likely made her move as well!

"Myriad Demon King, Demon Spirit, go hold them back. I need to find another place to savor this delicacy!"

Although he very much wanted to take a bite of dragon meat immediately.

The Golden-Haired Lion Mastiff did not dare be careless in this situation!

Finding a safe area was essential!

"Little beauty, let's go somewhere else and have a chat!"

In the next instant, the terrifying Golden-Haired Lion Mastiff bit down on the back of the Hell Demon Dragon's neck.

The little dragoness was rendered completely unable to move.

He swiftly dragged her away.

Not long after he left.

Di Tian's furious roar rang out, accompanied by black vines stretching in every direction!

"Myriad Demon King, Demon Spirit, have you two gone mad? You actually dare attack me, the Beast God!"

"Get the hell out of my way!"

Although he sensed that something was wrong with his two former companions!

Di Tian was too desperate to save someone to care.

He attempted to clear a path with a savage charge.

But something bizarre happened.

Even when he scattered Demon Spirit and Myriad Demon King's bodies.

The two quickly reassembled into new black mist and returned, continuing to block Di Tian's path like stubborn plaster.

Di Tian was completely dumbfounded.

At the critical moment, Gu Yuena appeared and revealed the truth!

"The two of them are no longer living soul beasts. They have become something similar to the puppets of human evil soul masters!"

Gu Yuena was indeed knowledgeable.

She saw through the nature of the two monsters at a glance.

On the surface, they still retained the forms of their original soul beasts, but in essence, they had already become spectral entities...

"My Lord! What did you say?"

Upon hearing Gu Yuena's words, Di Tian's eyes filled with shock.

He also looked completely unable to understand.

"This is why that lion mastiff reached four hundred and fifty thousand years in such a short time!"

"Demon Spirit and Myriad Demon King's true source energy has already been transferred onto him!"

Gu Yuena had a terrible headache at that moment as well.

Even with the perception of the soul beast co-ruler, she felt that she could no longer control the two before her.

They were like kites with severed strings.

Those two soul beasts no longer truly existed!

Meanwhile.

The Golden-Haired Lion Mastiff had dragged Zi JI to the riverbank.

He used the river water to wash away his scent.

Making it harder for the others to track him.

"Smack!"

After he put down the little dragoness.

Whether from fear or exhaustion.

The Hell Demon Dragon slowly transformed into a beautiful human woman.

She wore a purple gown, with a pair of long, straight, white legs exposed.

They were exceptionally eye-catching.

Together with the Golden-Haired Lion Mastiff before her, they formed the classic image of "Beauty and the Beast."

"Hehe, Zi JI, Zi JI, why did you make yourself look so delicious?"

"You're making me even hungrier now!"
