Crimson-Scaled Blood Lizard? Red Flood Dragon Blood Lizard!!

The Cave Demon Spider swung its legs, flinging the blood from its claws. Deep hatred showed in its enormous compound eyes.

The Soul Beast it had attacked was crimson all over, with threads of blood trickling down its scales, giving it an eerily scarlet appearance instead.

The two faced off for only an instant before the blood-soaked Crimson-Scaled Blood Lizard charged forward, opening its jaws and biting down wildly!

The two gigantic Soul Beasts clashed fiercely. Dust flew everywhere as sharp spider legs collided with razor-sharp lizard claws. The air was filled with blood and violence, and the ground lay in ruins.

"Cough, cough, cough... Is this the strength a seven-hundred-year Soul Beast is truly supposed to have?"

Tang Yin's expression changed slightly as she watched the chaotic battle at the center of the field and murmured softly.

She had originally assumed that more Soul Beasts were like the Jade Bamboo Grove—possessing tremendous vitality but lacking offensive methods. But judging by this, ordinary Soul Beasts were incomparably savage when fighting each other. Every move was meant to take a life, and the pressure they gave off was overwhelming!

"A seven-hundred-year blood lizard—perfect! Little Lin, isn't that exactly the Soul Beast you need?"

Watching the two Soul Beasts battle in a tangled mass, Su Yan was incredibly excited. It felt as though the Spirit Ring was already within reach!

"Normally, dealing with a Soul Beast of this level would be difficult, and even finding one would take considerable effort. But the Cave Demon Spider is helping us right now. We only need to seize the opportunity and reap the benefits!"

As he spoke, fur sprouted over Su Yan's body. Three Spirit Rings—white, yellow, and purple—rose one after another behind him, while his gaze remained fixed on the battling Soul Beasts.

If he had to fight the Crimson-Scaled Blood Lizard one-on-one, he might have been somewhat wary. But if he was dealing with a blood lizard covered in wounds after a battle, he was completely confident!

"But why are they fighting?"

Having never seen Soul Beasts fight each other, Tang Yin could not help asking curiously.

"They should be fighting over territory... or perhaps some resource. Cave Demon Spiders rarely attack proactively. Under these circumstances, the two must have an old grudge."

Yu Xiaogang stared at the fighting Soul Beasts, yet an inexplicable unease stirred within him. He kept feeling that something was about to go wrong!

In the forest ahead of them, huge swaths of trees had already been snapped in half by the battle!

The aftershocks of the two Soul Beasts' melee had directly churned a patch of woodland into bare ground!

The Cave Demon Spider twisted its abdomen, and an enormous web spread over the blood lizard's body!

The pale web hardened in an instant when the wind struck it. Like steel cables, it dug deeply into the blood lizard's scales, slicing open clumps of flesh!

Yet with a single sweep of its sharp claws, the lizard severed part of the web. As for the strands embedded deep in its flesh, the already wounded creature ignored them completely, allowing them to tighten within its body and inflict ever more pain!

The frenzied blood lizard grew braver the longer it fought. Though blood continued pouring from the wound on its back, it still grabbed the spider's forelegs with both claws and tore violently, wrenching apart the spider leg and ripping it straight from its torso!

The intense pain snapped the hatred-blinded Cave Demon Spider awake for a moment.

It had intended to use the advantage gained through its ambush to end the battle quickly, but it had never expected the severely injured giant lizard to become even more terrifying, its strength far surpassing what it had shown at the beginning!

In its panic, the Cave Demon Spider opened its mouth to spit out a web and flee. But before it could do so, the red-eyed giant lizard bit off half its head, turning it into a heap of mangled flesh in an instant!

In a head-on confrontation, this six-hundred-year Cave Demon Spider had still been completely torn apart by the bleeding Crimson-Scaled Blood Lizard, despite having the advantage of striking first with an ambush!

Yet the victorious blood lizard showed none of a winner's joy. Instead, it became even more violent. No reason remained in its crimson vertical pupils, while its wounds continuously sprayed blood mist as though its rage had reached its peak.

So, as it crazily turned its head to scan its surroundings, its vertical pupils quickly locked onto the four from Nuoding Academy!

Without the slightest hesitation, it moved on all fours and charged at them violently.

"Hmph, you've got some nerve!"

Su Yan sneered, circulating his Soul Power. The third Spirit Ring behind his ape Martial Soul lit up, and purple light burst across the forest!

Facing this blood lizard, whose body was almost entirely torn flesh, Su Yan refused to retreat even half a step despite being an Agility Attack Type Soul Master!

"Third Soul Skill—Spirit Ape Sky-Hunting Claw!"

Pushing his Soul Power to the limit, Su Yan believed that, against a severely injured blood lizard that had just undergone a bloody battle, he could kill it in a single blow!

However, when he leaped forward and collided with the blood lizard's claws, a horrifying force crashed into him, and his expression changed drastically!

Before he could react, before he could gather Soul Power to defend himself, that full-force blow comparable to a Millennium Soul Beast's attack sent him flying instantly!

"Boom!"

Like a tossed stone, Su Yan's body shot through the air and smashed viciously into a tree trunk. He fainted on the spot!

"What?! Director Su Yan was instantly defeated in one strike?! How is that possible?!"

The violent unease in Yu Xiaogang's heart had been confirmed. Trembling, he looked at the giant lizard snarling through clenched teeth. The two bulges on its back exploded in his mind like thunder from a clear sky!

"No, that's not right! This isn't a Crimson-Scaled Blood Lizard. It's a Red Flood Dragon Blood Lizard!!!"

The reason that terrifying pressure felt both familiar and unfamiliar was because that damned aura was dragon might!!!

It was the dragon might he had felt countless times throughout his childhood in the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, yet had not felt for more than a decade!

This Crimson-Scaled Blood Lizard that had lurked underground had somehow obtained a trace of dragon bloodline! It had already reached the threshold of transformation and possessed terrifying strength far beyond that of an ordinary Crimson-Scaled Blood Lizard!

The racial trait of Crimson-Scaled Blood Lizards, which made them grow stronger through battle, had become even more terrifying under the stimulation of that trace of dragon blood. Though it appeared to be on its last breath and covered in blood, it was still enough to rival a Millennium Soul Beast!

Yu Xiaogang's face turned pale as he said in utter horror, "Its current strength is enough to stand shoulder to shoulder with a Millennium Soul Beast!"

"No shit! At a time like this, did you really need to tell us that?!"

Cursing through gritted teeth, Lin Yue instantly activated Martial Soul Possession, and his left arm turned scarlet!

"Why didn't you say so before Teacher Su Yan went in?! This damned lizard actually has dragon blood in its body??"

The Cave Demon Spider had been so hateful and furious—perhaps it had come precisely for the chance to evolve through that trace of bloodline!

This creature and the Jade Bamboo Spirit from before were practically opposite extremes. One possessed survival ability so powerful it bordered on absurdity, while this Red Flood Dragon Blood Lizard possessed attack power terrifying to the extreme. It had almost completely abandoned defense, yet even covered in wounds, it still charged ahead without fear!

As though Lin Yue's curses had awakened him, Yu Xiaogang looked at the two children preparing to fight, clenched his teeth, and roared:

"Thunderous Fart! Heaven-Shaking, Earth-Rending Luo Sanpao!"

A fat, stupid-looking purple pig solidified from the phantom behind him and leaped to Yu Xiaogang's side, turning its rear toward the giant lizard overflowing with bloodlust!

"Xiao San, run! You have to survive!"

Yu Xiaogang clenched his teeth and stepped forward, shielding the girl behind him.

Even facing the Red Flood Dragon Blood Lizard directly, with his legs trembling, he did not retreat a single step.

He had cowered his entire life, but before Xiao San—the only one who could wash away the humiliation of half his life—he could not miss another chance!

"Xiao San, run. Live, become a Titled Douluo, become the strongest person on this continent!"

"I need nothing. I only hope that when your name resounds across the continent, you will tell Yu Yuanzhen, the clan leader of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon, that his son Yu Xiaogang is not trash! That he raised the continent's strongest!"

After tremblingly speaking those words, Yu Xiaogang swung his arm and tossed the Spatial Soul Tool at his waist to the stunned Tang Yin.

Feeling the lingering warmth of the belt in her hand, the girl's eyes trembled. But in the next instant—

"Lin Yue! If you're still a man, stand beside me and help Xiao San buy time to escape!"

The moment those words left his mouth, Tang Yin's slightly moved expression turned as cold as ice. She immediately threw away the belt in her hand, regarding it with the same disgust as garbage!

That damned Yu Xiaogang actually wanted to drag Brother Lin down with him as a shield! He was courting death! He deserved to die a thousand deaths!!

Killing him a thousand times would not be enough!!!
