"Shadow Swamp!"
Black Jue pressed both hands against the floor, and Ghost Tiger's body immediately sank.
But Ghost Tiger reacted extremely quickly, controlling its ghost fire like a spirit snake and sending it burning toward Black Jue at tremendous speed. Black Jue had no choice but to rise and dodge, but the moment he did, the Shadow Swamp broke off. Ghost Tiger immediately lunged forward and swatted White Jue away as he tried to approach Li Xiao.
Ghost Tiger's strength was no less than King Li's to begin with. Its defenses were simply far weaker, and it had only been subdued after King Li wore it down in battle.
One could say it was a ferocious beast on the level of a Zombie King or Ghost King.
If it had not needed to protect Li Xiao, the Black and White Extremes certainly could not have withstood more than a few rounds of its ferocious attacks at full strength.
"This thing must be on the level of a Ghost King, right?" Black Jue helped White Jue up and watched Ghost Tiger guarding Li Xiao, his voice filled with uncertainty and alarm.
White Jue glanced at Ghost Tiger and said, "I'll deal with Ghost Tiger. You drag Li Xiao into the Shadow Path and kill him there, then we'll leave immediately."
"All right!"
Black Jue understood White Jue's intentions at once.
With Ghost Tiger obstructing them in the room, killing Li Xiao would be extremely difficult. But his Shadow Path could ignore terrain. All he had to do was drag Li Xiao inside, and Li Xiao would be his to handle as he pleased.
The only one in danger would be White Jue.
After all, White Jue would have to face Ghost Tiger alone, so Black Jue had to finish the fight
