Chrysanthemum Douluo controlled the golden petals filling the sky, sending them flying toward White Tiger's injured left leg again.
Holy Dragon Douluo charged out from the other side.
The White Armored Earth Dragon's massive body slammed hard into White Tiger's leg!
Bang!
Once again, it was Holy Dragon Douluo who was knocked back.
But White Tiger was not entirely unscathed either, swaying several times from the impact.
After the continuous fighting, more and more wounds had appeared on White Tiger's body.
Its left foreleg, the focus of their attacks, was the most severely injured.
Purplish-black poison kept spreading around the wounds.
Even though White Tiger's white light could dispel it, doing so consumed a considerable amount of strength!
Credit where credit was due, Bibi Dong really was very powerful!
Yet there was not the slightest hint of joy on Bibi Dong's face.
White Tiger's defenses and recovery abilities both far exceeded her expectations.
Several of Spirit Hall's Soul Douluos had already lost the ability to fight.
Yet this White Tiger was still full of life!
If this dragged on, things might not look good.
She looked up into the distance, unable to shake a sense of foreboding!
"Your Holiness, the message has been sent."
An agility-type Soul Douluo reported from beside her.
"Ghost Douluo is on his way from the Star Dou Great Forest!"
Bibi Dong nodded.
Ghost Douluo had originally been responsible for investigating the situation around the Lake of Life.
Now, the Four Holy Beasts had become everyone's targets.
There was no longer any need to leave a Titled Douluo in the Star Dou Great Forest!
"Don't give it a chance to recover!"
"Everyone, attack with everything you have!"
As Bibi Dong spoke, the red Soul Ring of her second martial soul lit up again.
With a swing of the Sword of Eternity, several crescent-shaped blades of light instantly slashed out.
At the same time, countless dark green spiders surged out from the surroundings, crawling over from every direction.
They bit at the White Tiger clone's limbs.
There were too many. Unless White Tiger could fly, one or two spiders would always manage to bite him.
But few of the spiders could break through his defenses.
Another beam of purplish-black sword light struck the wound on White Tiger's left leg with precision!
"Roar!" White Tiger spun around in pain, his thick, long tail sweeping through the air.
A multitude of Soul Skills exploded as they collided, lighting up the entire canyon with chaotic light!
Ye Yao finally felt pain, and he grew happier and happier.
This was a good thing!
It looked like he would soon be killed and absorbed by Bibi Dong.
That body of hers was excellent-not only was she powerful, but she also had a divine inheritance!
Bibi Dong and the others also knew that White Tiger's injuries were gradually worsening.
White Tiger's recovery abilities had consistently failed to cope with her poison.
The wounds from her sword were also difficult to heal, so the longer this dragged on, the worse White Tiger's injuries would become.
But just as both Bibi Dong and Ye Yao felt that victory was in their grasp.
A Soul Douluo relayed some bad news to Bibi Dong.
"A streak of golden light is approaching White Tiger Canyon at an astonishing speed."
This had been sent back through a Communication Soul Tool by a Soul Master stationed along the route.
"Golden light?" Bibi Dong's brows immediately knitted tightly when she heard this!
Then an aged figure surfaced in her mind!
Qian Daoliu!!!
Bibi Dong's expression changed, and she shouted urgently, "Hurry! Qian Daoliu is here! Attack with everything you have!"
The expressions of Chrysanthemum Douluo and Holy Dragon Douluo changed drastically at once!
To those outside Spirit Hall, Qian Daoliu's arrival would only make them think Spirit Hall had this in the bag.
But everyone within Spirit Hall knew.
It would be no exaggeration to describe Qian Daoliu and Bibi Dong as two separate factions.
Faced with a Soul Beast like the White Tiger Holy Beast, neither would yield to the other!
"Kill!" Chrysanthemum Douluo and the others hurriedly unleashed their ninth Soul Skills!
All the other Soul Masters also used their strongest offensive Soul Skills!
On the outskirts of Crimson Flame Volcano, the air grew hotter and hotter.
Some lava began splashing outside the volcano!
A hint of orange began appearing in the cracks in the ground.
After arriving here, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's party immediately slowed down.
Some of the weaker disciples had no choice but to keep using their Soul Power.
They used it to fend off the surrounding waves of heat and the lava that occasionally appeared beneath their feet.
"Sect Master, the weaker disciples can't go any farther."
A Soul Douluo kept wiping away sweat as he watched the distorted air ahead.
"If we keep approaching the volcano, I'm afraid anyone below Soul Saint won't last long."
Ning Fengzhi looked up. Thick smoke kept billowing from the enormous dark gray volcano.
Crimson light shone out from its crater.
They had already reached the foot of the mountain. With a Soul Master's abilities, reaching the crater would take only the blink of an eye!
"Everyone, stay here. If anyone approaches, use a Soul Tool to notify us."
After saying this, Ning Fengzhi told Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo, "The three of us will go inside."
Neither Sword Douluo nor Bone Douluo objected.
Ordinary Soul Masters could be of little use in a place like this.
Even if they were unafraid of flames, that two-hundred-thousand-year-old Vermilion Bird was not something they could handle.
Once Vermilion Bird launched a wide-range flame attack, they would instead have to divide their attention to protect the sect's disciples!
Sword Douluo raised his hand and waved.
A sharp stream of Soul Power split the waves of heat ahead down the middle.
Bone Douluo released his Soul Power to protect Ning Fengzhi.
The three swiftly headed toward Crimson Flame Volcano's crater.
The closer they came to the volcano, the harsher their surroundings became.
As the ground shook continuously, scalding lava slowly flowed down the distant mountainside.
Some rocks could not withstand the high temperatures and suddenly burst apart!
Bone Douluo looked toward the crater, his expression grave.
"It's much more dangerous here than it looked on the sky screen."
"If Vermilion Bird stays in the lava, we'll have a hard time hurting it."
Sword Douluo said nothing, his gaze fixed on the crater.
The Seven Kill Sword was trembling gently.
It was not fear, but a response to sensing an extremely powerful existence!
"Vermilion Bird is in there," Sword Douluo said gravely. "It must have discovered us already."
Hearing this, Ning Fengzhi stopped rather than heading straight inside.
The strength White Tiger had displayed already proved that the Four Holy Beasts could not be judged as ordinary two-hundred-thousand-year-old Soul Beasts.
They would not act rashly before getting a clear look at Vermilion Bird's true form!
"There are no signs of other Soul Masters nearby."
Bone Douluo surveyed their surroundings for a while.
"It seems there really aren't many people who chose this place."
Ning Fengzhi nodded.
Compared with Azure Dragon's location, Crimson Flame Volcano was indeed deserted!
As long as no other top factions arrived, they could take their time probing Vermilion Bird's strength.
They just did not know whether anyone else would give them that opportunity.
Far away from Crimson Flame Volcano.
Several figures were moving at high speed above the mountain forests.
Tang Xiao charged at the forefront, with several Clear Sky Sect elders close behind.
All of them exuded the presence of a Titled Douluo!
The remaining Clear Sky Sect disciples had already been left far behind, moving at a uniform pace.
To seize Vermilion Bird's Soul Ring, the Clear Sky Sect had deployed the vast majority of its top forces.
If someone raided their home now, a single Titled Douluo could wipe out the entire Clear Sky Sect in one fell swoop.
