"Roar!"
The Netherworld Slash landed on the Ghost Tiger's back, controlled by Xiao Yan's Netherworld Lock.
The two of them caught Ghost Tiger completely off guard.
The Netherworld Slash landed solidly on Ghost Tiger's back, and a powerful surge of Soul Power spread out, instantly creating a deep, bone-revealing wound on Ghost Tiger's back.
Having suffered a full-force attack from Zhu Zhuqing, Ghost Tiger's aura weakened considerably.
"Roar~"
Overwhelmed by intense pain, Ghost Tiger struggled and broke the chains of the Netherworld Lock. However, the properties of the Bone Spirit Cold Flame still slowed Ghost Tiger's thinking down slightly.
Having broken free of control, three black shadows instantly shot out from Ghost Tiger's body, two of them rushing towards Zhu Zhuqing's location.
The other one charged towards Xiao Yan.
This is Ghost Tiger's innate ability: Shadow Clone!
Two of the Shadow Clone attacked Zhu Zhuqing, demonstrating just how much Ghost Tiger hated Zhu Zhuqing at that moment.
"Call out!"
Seeing the two Shadow Clone of Ghost Tiger rushing towards her, Zhu Zhuqing did not hesitate. Her figure instantly disappeared from the spot and she climbed directly to the top of the tree.
However, Ghost Tiger's two Shadow Clone also leaped towards the treetop, their speed no slower than Zhu Zhuqing's full-power burst.
Two Ghost Tiger Shadow Clone, one on the left and one on the right, swung their claws at Zhu Zhuqing at the top of the tree.
"Whoosh!"
Two sharp claws sliced off the treetop, and Zhu Zhuqing landed on another tree as the claws swung.
Two Shadow Clone of the Ghost Tiger relentlessly followed behind Zhu Zhuqing, their speed surprisingly matching hers.
Xiao Yan glanced at Zhu Zhuqing's situation out of the corner of his eye, then looked at the other Ghost Tiger Shadow Clone rushing straight towards him.
White flames condensed in Xiao Yan's palm, and an ice crystal spear materialized in Xiao Yan hand.
They witnessed the speed at which Ghost Tiger chased Zhu Zhuqing.
Xiao Yan knew that if he condensed the pale ice crystals, given the Ghost Tiger's terrifying speed, it probably wouldn't even be able to touch the opponent.
Therefore, Xiao Yan used his first Soul Skill, which transformed into an ice crystal spear and held in his hand.
"Whoosh!"
With his spear in hand, Xiao Yan watched as the two Ghost Tiger drew ever closer to him.
One was Shadow Clone, while the other, the original body, was still dripping blood from a tear in its back.
The moment the Ghost Tiger Shadow Clone approached within three meters of Xiao Yan, Xiao Yan's eyes flickered, and he suddenly swung out the ice crystal spear in his hand.
"Bang!"
At such close range, Xiao Yan's attack was bound to miss.
The ice crystal spear slammed down on Ghost Tiger's head.
"Aww~"
Ghost Tiger's Shadow Clone shrank its head and let out a painful howl, but its claws still reached down towards Xiao Yan's head.
" Cold Fire Soul Armor!"
Xiao Yan's second Yellow Soul Ring shone brightly, and a semi-transparent armor covered his body.
"Click~"
Facing the Ghost Tiger's claws, Xiao Yan did not dodge. With a flick of his hands, the spear in his hand pierced the Ghost Tiger Ghost Tiger's open mouth as it roared and approached.
Xiao Yan stood in a horse stance with one leg in front of the other, the end of his spear pressed against the ground and pointing diagonally upwards.
The spear went into his throat.
As the Ghost Tiger 'Shadow Clone's claws landed on Xiao Yan, the ice crystal spear in his hand also pierced the Ghost Tiger's throat, drawing out a streak of crimson blood from the back of its head.
The claws of the Ghost Tiger Shadow Clone landed on Xiao Yan.
Protected by the Soul Armor, the attack did not harm Xiao Yan, but three wide claw marks covered the Soul Armor on his chest.
Xiao Yan had just killed Ghost Tiger's Shadow Clone when a bloody smell wafted from the side.
While Xiao Yan was attacking his Shadow Clone, Ghost Tiger's true form had already reached Xiao Yan's side.
"Roar~"
A low growl rang out, and Ghost Tiger's paw slammed down towards Xiao Yan's chest.
"Smack!"
Ghost Tiger's enormous hand slammed into Xiao Yan's chest, and the already shattered Soul Armor was now covered in cracks from this blow.
If he were to withstand another attack, Xiao Yan's Soul Armor would likely shatter.
" Zhu Zhuqing!"
Using the powerful force from his chest, Xiao Yan retreated backward, letting out a low roar as Zhu Zhuqing leaped down from mid-air.
The two Ghost Tiger Shadow Clone following behind him also leaped down.
At this moment, Ghost Tiger remained in the position of attacking Xiao Yan.
The huge wound on his back from the previous slash was now exposed to Zhu Zhuqing.
" Netherworld Slash!"
Zhu Zhuqing's Third Soul Ring lit up again.
At the same time, two transparent chains instantly Entanglement around Ghost Tiger's feet, firmly controlling it in place.
"Laugh!"
Using the impact of falling from the sky, Zhu Zhuqing's attack followed the deep, bone-revealing wound she had just inflicted.
It pierced straight through Ghost Tiger's spine.
Ghost Tiger let out a reluctant roar before finally breathing its last.
With Ghost Tiger's death, the two Shadow Clone that leaped down from mid-air also twisted and finally disappeared completely.
The Ghost Tiger's massive body crashed to the ground under Zhu Zhuqing's attack, kicking up a cloud of dust.
Zhu Zhuqing's body was now stained with a lot of Ghost Tiger blood, making her look rather eerie.
Xiao Yan's gaze was involuntarily drawn to it, and he chuckled softly:
"You absorb it first, I'll protect you."
Zhu Zhuqing nodded, reached out her palm towards the Purple Soul Ring floating from Ghost Tiger's body, absorbed it into her body, and then sat down cross-legged.
On the other side of the treetop, Qian Renxue watched as Xiao Yan and Zhu Zhuqing so easily killed the Ghost Tiger, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes.
The Ghost Tiger possesses extremely high speed and formidable attack power.
Its talent also grants it the ability to create Shadow Clone. Although the clones do not possess 100% of the power of the original body, they are still among the Soul Beast of its kind.
Ghost Tiger are considered quite troublesome.
As Qian Renxue had anticipated, it would have been quite an achievement for Xiao Yan and Zhu Zhuqing to have managed to severely injure Ghost Tiger.
However, she did not expect that their perfect teamwork would actually be able to kill Ghost Tiger directly.
Moreover, Qian Renxue also noticed it.
The reason the two were able to successfully hunt was mainly due to Xiao Yan's control.
Without Xiao Yan's " Netherworld Lock " control, Zhu Zhuqing's two attacks would have had no chance of hitting Ghost Tiger.
Qian Renxue did not notice that the moment Xiao Yan's Netherworld Lock Entanglement around Ghost Tiger, Ghost Tiger's Soul Power and thoughts froze for a moment.
This is also the key to why Zhu Zhuqing's attacks were effective.
However, the wonders of the Bone Spirit Cold Flame cannot be truly appreciated without experiencing it firsthand.
Moreover, Ghost Tiger's greatest strengths—speed and attack—are precisely what Xiao Yan, Control-Type Battle Spirit Master, is able to counter.
In addition to the initial sneak attack, which had already put Ghost Tiger in his hands, the two were able to kill Ghost Tiger so quickly.
Xiao Yan was extremely pleased that he had found a suitable Soul Ring for Zhu Zhuqing so quickly.
Zhu Zhuqing sat cross-legged on the spot, while Xiao Yan walked over to Ghost Tiger's side and examined Ghost Tiger's corpse.
For a Soul Master, the most valuable thing about a Soul Beast is naturally its Soul Ring.
However, many parts of Soul Beast also possess extremely high value.
A short dagger appeared in Xiao Yan's hand. After examining it for a moment, Xiao Yan plunged the dagger directly into the Ghost Tiger's body, dismembering it.
