Reentering the Star Dou Great Forest to Hunt a Ten-Thousand-Year Army-Breaking Tiger!

Many days later, a carriage appeared in a small alley outside the Star Dou Great Forest.

Along the way, Dai Fei had mainly wanted to take a good look at the sights of this other world, so he had not hurried.

Though the architecture here was quite backward, the natural scenery along the way had been truly splendid!

Dai Fei stepped into the inner region of the Star Dou Great Forest, and the air around him immediately grew oppressive.

The Soul Beasts here were far stronger than those on the outskirts. At a minimum, they were Thousand-Year Soul Beasts, and there was no shortage of traces of Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts.

The trees were tall and dense, blotting out the sky and sun. Low beastly roars sounded from time to time, making one's blood run cold.

"A ten-thousand-year tiger-type Soul Beast. I'll kill whichever one I meet first. Let's see who the lucky one is," Dai Fei murmured, a playful glint flashing in his eyes.

His figure flashed, transforming into a streak of golden light that sped toward the depths of the forest.

Time flew, and a week passed in the blink of an eye!

Dai Fei raced through the Star Dou Great Forest, his golden figure weaving through the dense woods like a bolt of lightning.

His objective was clear-to find a ten-thousand-year tiger-type Soul Beast and obtain his fourth Soul Ring.

However, danger lurked everywhere in the inner region of the Star Dou Great Forest. Even a powerhouse like him did not dare be the slightest bit careless.

The paths here were also extremely difficult to traverse, and the area was vast. He had only recently reached the inner region.

Suddenly, Dai Fei stopped, his ears twitching slightly as he caught an unusual sound.

He swiftly hid behind a giant tree and gazed keenly in the direction of the sound.

Not far away, an enormous black tiger was pacing slowly. Its fur was as deep as the night, and its eyes glowed a ghostly green. It was clearly an Army-Breaking Tiger, a Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beast!

As a member of a tiger-type family, he was naturally very familiar with all tiger-type Soul Beasts!

"Not bad luck. I just entered the inner region, and I've already found my target. Judging by its presence, this fellow should be around nineteen thousand years old. It's just right for my fourth Soul Ring!" The corners of Dai Fei's mouth rose slightly, and a flicker of excitement passed through his eyes.

After spending seven days, he no longer wanted to waste any more time or search for other Soul Beasts. He chose the one before him on the spot.

In any case, a Soul Ring was merely a key to unlocking the White Tiger Sacred Beast's innate Soul Skills! It was not very important, though the color of a Soul Ring did look impressive.

He did not rush to make a move, instead carefully observing the Army-Breaking Tiger's movements!

Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts were quite intelligent, and a rash attack might put him on the back foot.

However, just as Dai Fei was about to act, a jumble of footsteps and whispers suddenly came from the distance.

He frowned, quickly concealed his presence, and slipped into the shadows.

Soon, a five-person Soul Hunting squad appeared in his field of vision.

They wore matching black combat outfits, with silver emblems embroidered on their chests. They were clearly members of some major power.

"Captain, that Army-Breaking Tiger is just ahead!" a tall, thin man whispered, his eyes filled with greed.

"Good. Everyone, be careful. A Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beast is no joke."

Their leader was a burly middle-aged man wielding a massive axe, and his imposing presence bore down on those around him.

Dai Fei watched coldly from the sidelines, calculating in silence.

The Soul Hunting squad was strong. Their captain in particular was a powerhouse at least at the Soul Emperor level, while the others were Soul Kings. Dai Fei considered himself very strong, but he would not charge in recklessly. Instead, he would act according to the situation.

If they fought the Army-Breaking Tiger, he could sit back and reap the fisherman's reward.

However, things did not develop as Dai Fei had expected.

The Soul Hunting squad did not attack the Army-Breaking Tiger directly. Instead, they quietly spread out, seemingly setting some kind of trap.

A thought stirred in Dai Fei's mind, and he realized they might be using some special kind of Soul Tool to capture Soul Beasts.

"Looks like they came prepared. I can't let them succeed." A chill flashed in Dai Fei's eyes.

He quietly circled around behind the Soul Hunting squad, ready to launch a sneak attack when they clashed with the Army-Breaking Tiger.

However, just then, the Army-Breaking Tiger suddenly let out an earth-shaking roar and lunged at the Soul Hunting squad.

Clearly, it had long since detected these uninvited guests.

Faced with the Army-Breaking Tiger's sudden attack and terrifying strength, the Soul Hunting squad fell into chaos, releasing their Soul Skills to fend it off.

"Attack!" Dai Fei hesitated no longer. His figure flashed as he charged straight at the Soul Hunting squad's captain.

He was so fast that he reached the man's back almost instantly.

"Who?!"

The captain reacted swiftly, spinning around and sweeping his massive axe at him!

But Dai Fei was faster. He easily dodged the blow and swiped a claw at the man's chest.

"Bang!"

The punch sent the captain staggering back several steps, his expression changing drastically.

He had not expected anyone to be able to sneak up on him at such close range.

"Who are you? How dare you attack the Silver Moon Sect!" the captain roared.

"The Silver Moon Sect?" Dai Fei sneered. "You're nothing but a second-rate sect, yet you dare act so arrogantly before me?"

Before his words had faded, Dai Fei attacked again.

The wind of his fists rumbled like thunder, every blow carrying terrifying force.

Though the captain was quite strong, he soon fell into a disadvantage under Dai Fei's fierce assault.

Meanwhile, the other members of the Soul Hunting squad were being forced steadily back by the Army-Breaking Tiger.

Before they could finish setting their trap, the Soul Beast had thrown them into complete disarray.

"Captain, we can't hold out!" one squad member shouted in terror.

"Retreat!"

The captain gritted his teeth as he gave the order, but how could Dai Fei let them escape so easily?

His figure flashed, and he blocked the captain's path.

"Trying to leave? Not so easily," Dai Fei said coldly.

A ruthless glint flashed in the captain's eyes. He abruptly pulled a black Soul Tool from his robes and threw it at Dai Fei.

Dai Fei's gaze sharpened, and he quickly retreated.

The Soul Tool exploded in midair, releasing thick black smoke that obscured his vision.

I didn't expect Soul Tools like this to exist already at this point. Looks like the original story really did portray too narrow a scope, Dai Fei thought, secretly shocked. But the next second, his Soul Power erupted, blasting the black smoke away.

However, when he could see his surroundings clearly again, the members of the Soul Hunting squad had scattered and fled, leaving only the Army-Breaking Tiger where it stood.

"They sure ran fast."

"Those people are all injured. If they dare show up, I can deal with them all at once!"

Dai Fei shook his head and turned his attention back to the Army-Breaking Tiger.

By now, the Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beast had also noticed Dai Fei. It let out a low growl, its eyes full of wariness.

"Come on, let me see how strong you are."

Brimming with fighting spirit, Dai Fei stirred his Soul Power and released his Martial Soul.

A layer of golden light instantly enveloped his body, and his presence surged.

The Army-Breaking Tiger clearly sensed the threat. It lunged at Dai Fei, its sharp claws aimed straight at his throat.

Dai Fei neither dodged nor evaded, meeting it with a punch.

"Boom!"

Fist and claws collided, unleashing a tremendous impact.

Dai Fei was driven back several steps, while the Army-Breaking Tiger also staggered backward from the punch.

"As expected of a Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, its strength really is formidable. Its hide is tougher than that of the thousand-year Shadow Demon Tiger, too!"

The excitement and fighting spirit in Dai Fei's eyes grew even stronger!

He gave the Army-Breaking Tiger no chance to catch its breath and attacked again.

The ensuing battle was exceptionally fierce.

Dai Fei and the Army-Breaking Tiger fought a desperate battle to the death in the forest. Trees toppled around them, and deep craters were smashed into the ground.

Dai Fei's attacks came like a violent storm, every blow carrying destructive power.

Unwilling to be outdone, the Army-Breaking Tiger was extremely fast, and its attacks came from tricky angles, causing Dai Fei considerable trouble.

"That should do it."

"Geng Metal Sacred Art: White Tiger Geng Metal Roar!"

"Geng Metal Sacred Art: White Tiger Sky-Rending Claw!"

A chill flashed in Dai Fei's eyes as he leaped into the air, using his third and first Soul Skills in succession in combination with his cultivation art. After restraining the Army-Breaking Tiger, he gathered Soul Power in his right claw and swept it straight at the tiger's head.

"Boom!"

The punch struck the Army-Breaking Tiger squarely. Its body shuddered violently, then it crashed heavily to the ground, its life gradually fading away.
