Rescue from Their Clansmen

As the lightning severed every tree, the smell of burning spread through the outskirts of the Star Dou Great Forest.

After several consecutive flips, Zhu Zhuqing, Zhu Zhuyun, and Zhu Zhulin finally landed safely, forming a triangle.

The Lightning Wind Tiger was behind Zhu Zhuyun, with Zhu Zhuqing to her left and Zhu Zhulin to her right. She was completely surrounded.

"Damn it!" Zhu Zhuyun cursed furiously.

With no trees left around her, how was she supposed to evade her two younger sisters as they chased and blocked her?

She had clearly intended to assassinate them in secret. Did this mean she would have to kill them openly?

But a five-hundred-year-old Lightning Wind Tiger was still eyeing her hungrily from behind. This assassination attempt had ended in failure.

The scene was eerily silent. Three alluring women stood there in skintight clothes-and all three wore black leather bodysuits and masks.

If not for their differing heights, figures, auras, and soul rings, the Lightning Wind Tiger would have thought they were the same person.

"Roar, roar, roar-"

The Lightning Wind Tiger no longer cared. It would kill all three ants and swallow them raw.

It would devour the woman in the leather bodysuit with three soul rings first. She seemed to be the one whose arrow had stopped it from swatting that short woman in leather to death earlier.

The Lightning Wind Tiger lunged forward, its enormous jaws stretched wide, moving as swiftly as lightning.

"You damned tiger, you're courting death!" Zhu Zhuyun's face was frosty. Her third soul ring suddenly lit up as she broke toward the right.

As she broke out to the right, Zhu Zhuyun fired three arrows in succession from the purple bow condensed from soul power in her hands. One flew toward the Lightning Wind Tiger, while the other two actually flew toward Zhu Zhuqing.

She actually wanted to kill two birds with one stone. It was sheer fantasy.

Zhu Zhulin's first soul ring lit up, and she instantly unleashed her first soul skill, Hell Raid. She moved directly into the masked woman's path and thrust her sharp dagger forward.

"Hmph, who exactly are you? Why did you ambush us?"

Zhu Zhulin's voice was full of suspicion. At the same time, she kept stabbing forward with her dagger, deliberately targeting the parts she found offensive.

She held her ground in front of Zhu Zhuyun, refusing to let her make a quick escape.

Zhu Zhuyun did not answer. The purple bow in her hands transformed into a small shield that repeatedly blocked her younger sister's attacks. Even while defending, she could lash out at Zhu Zhulin again and again with her powerful legs.

Meanwhile, Zhu Zhuqing narrowly dodged the two arrows behind them. After several consecutive flips, she pursued Zhu Zhuyun from the side.

The Lightning Wind Tiger chasing Zhu Zhuyun from behind did not care how the three fought among themselves. In its eyes, they might simply be arranging some tactic to trap it.

Braving Zhu Zhuyun's arrow head-on, it lunged straight toward the two humans ahead. In that brief time, the spike on its forehead had already gathered a considerable amount of lightning power.

A faint lightning glow flickered around the spike.

"Roar-"

The Lightning Wind Tiger joined the fray. The two women rolled several times, narrowly avoiding its pounce, then immediately resumed attacking each other.

Thanks to the Lightning Wind Tiger's attack, Zhu Zhuqing had caught up with the others.

Turning sideways, she slid forward along the ground, her dagger flashing coldly as she stabbed toward Zhu Zhuyun's waist. If it struck, Zhu Zhuyun would undoubtedly be gravely wounded.

Yet the vision was beautiful, while reality was not. Zhu Zhuyun was, after all, a three-ring Soul Elder. She not only had an advantage in age over her two younger sisters, but the gap between their soul power was also far, far too great.

"Watch out, Zhu Zhuqing!" Zhu Zhulin shouted, thrusting her dagger forward repeatedly.

After using her shield to knock aside her third sister, Zhu Zhuyun delivered a light side kick straight to Zhu Zhuqing's chest. The tremendous force sent Zhu Zhuqing flying.

However, before Zhu Zhuyun's kick reached her, Zhu Zhuqing had already held her dagger in front of her chest. Its sharp blade pierced Zhu Zhuyun's high-heeled shoe, and bright red blood flowed out from within.

Bang-

After snapping numerous branches in succession, Zhu Zhuqing finally landed beneath a large tree. The benefits of yoga showed themselves here. Her body was as agile as a light-footed spirit cat, and she suffered only minor scrapes in the process.

She rolled several times across the ground, dissipating much of the impact, then charged forward again.

Just as the three women and the tiger were about to clash again, a loud voice rang out from afar:

"Third soul skill: Hell Bloodthirsty Eighteen Slashes!"

The voice came from the three women's right. A blood-red figure swept in from that direction, slashing toward the Lightning Wind Tiger.

Two young boys followed that figure. A yellow soul ring revolved around each of them, and purple Hell Spirit Cats had already possessed their bodies. They were accelerating as they raced over.

"Hmph!" A cold, strange sound escaped Zhu Zhuyun's lips.

She then took a blue sphere from inside her clothes and smashed it against the ground. Foul, pungent purple smoke poured out, rapidly spreading.

"What's that smell? Cough, cough, cough."

Just one breath made Zhu Zhulin feel unbearably ill. Her eyes stung, and tears kept streaming out. To be safe, she immediately retreated, afraid of being attacked inside the smoke.

The Lightning Wind Tiger was also left dazed. Purple mist entered its nose, eyes, and enormous mouth, immediately giving it a sharp, stinging sensation. That unforgettable taste reminded it of a certain fruit in the Star Dou Great Forest.

Boom-

The blood-red figure struck with boundless power, hitting the Lightning Wind Tiger as it stood rooted in place, frantically spitting and sneezing.

The blow broke straight through its defenses, sending blood spraying from its body.

A faint purple bolt shot from the forehead of the now gravely wounded Lightning Wind Tiger and struck the blood-red figure.

A muffled grunt escaped the blood-red figure's mouth. He fell from the air to the ground, scattering a considerable amount of blood.

"First soul skill: Hell Stab!"

"First soul skill: Hell Stab!"

Two icy voices rang out from the arriving boys. They transformed into two purple Hell Spirit Cats and pounced straight at the Lightning Wind Tiger.

"Roar-" After suffering repeated attacks, the Lightning Wind Tiger was already somewhat delirious. Combined with the foul smoke from earlier, this drove it into a frenzy, and roars poured endlessly from its mouth.

The blood-red figure climbed up from the ground and rejoined the fight. His cold voice rang out, exceptionally loud. It seemed he had kept the Lightning Wind Tiger's earlier attack from hitting a vital spot and had not suffered too much damage.

"Surround it! Don't let it escape!"

"Zhu Zhuqing, Zhu Zhulin, circle around behind it!"

The purple smoke gradually dispersed.

The five people in the clearing surrounded the gravely wounded, frenzied Lightning Wind Tiger. Whichever direction it tried to flee, it would come under attack.

Blood kept dripping from all over the Lightning Wind Tiger's body. Slowly, it stopped moving and stood still.

Everyone present knew the Lightning Wind Tiger was finished. It probably had only enough strength left for one final blow. After being worn down for so long, it ought to be at its limit.

"Zhu Zhuqing, give it the final blow from the front!" Zhu Yang shouted.

Clearly, Zhu Yang knew Zhu Zhuqing wanted a tiger-type soul ring. She had said so before, and now there was such a powerful tiger-type soul beast before them, with an age of around four hundred years.

"Here, take this dagger!" Zhu Zhulin held out her dagger.

Zhu Zhuqing took the dagger from her third sister's hand. Her gaze sharpened, and she charged forward.
