Douluo Continent: Heavenly Pill Demon Tiger

Chapter 35 The Domineering Shadow Tiger in the Melee

Dai Youheng navigates the intricate and ever-changing maze, deliberately searching for Xu Sanshi's whereabouts.

However, Xu Sanshi didn't find it, but after turning a corner, he stumbled upon a fierce battle.

The one being besieged was none other than Jiang Nannan, agile and stunningly beautiful. Dai Youheng also vaguely remembered the two men who were attacking her.

After one of them possessed a martial spirit, a jet-black fox tail swayed behind him, and his eyes flashed with a bewitching pinkish-purple light. He moved like a ghost and was extremely fast.

It was Mu Shengsheng who possessed the Shadow Fox Martial Soul. This Martial Soul can be seen as a dark mutation of Hu Liena's Heavenly Fox Martial Soul. It not only retains the powerful mental charm ability, but also has a speed that is no less than that of the Netherworld Cat, and its overall quality is even better.

The other person was even more bizarre. Her martial spirit was a jet-black sunflower that seemed to have grown from the netherworld, but at the center of the flower head was a ghostly face that was constantly twisting and emitting a silent shriek!

It was Gui Jiankui who possessed the Gui Kui Martial Soul. This Martial Soul could be described as a bizarre fusion of the Qi Rong Tong Tian Chrysanthemum of the Spirit Hall Chrysanthemum Douluo and the Ghostly Martial Soul of the Ghost Douluo. As for its origin and heritage... Dai Youheng felt that thinking about it further might be a bit mind-blowing.

Mu Shengsheng and Gui Jiankui are both peak level 39 Soul Masters, while Jiang Nannan, although she is already a level 41 Soul Grandmaster, cannot gain the upper hand against their coordinated attack. She is even somewhat passive and relies entirely on her superb soft skills and speed to maneuver.

This situation is common in chaotic battles, where lower-level Soul Masters often team up to eliminate the highest-level threats first.

Gui Jiankui's Gui Kui Martial Soul is a top-tier control-type Martial Soul, especially her third Soul Skill—Xu Tian Gui Kui Seize!

This skill can ignore most defensive soul skills and forcibly stun the opponent for five seconds! Even Jiang Nannan's fourth soul skill, Invincible Golden Body, cannot defend against it. It is almost a bug-level control skill among the same level.

Jiang Nannan was constantly distracted by this deadly control that could strike at any moment, which made her fight hesitant and put her at a disadvantage.

"Finding Jiang Nannan won't hurt if we can't find Xu Sanshi." Dai Youheng immediately changed his plan. As long as Jiang Nannan was here, given Xu Sanshi's sycophantic nature, he would definitely come looking for her!

Having made up his mind, he immediately put on a seemingly concerned expression and shouted, "Senior Jiang, I'll help you!"

At the same time, the martial spirit instantly possessed him, and the shadow of the Evil Shadow Tiger swirled around his body.

Jiang Nannan, who was struggling with her battle, heard the voice and saw that it was Dai Youheng. She felt a little relieved. Her impression of Dai Youheng was actually not bad. After all, he often sent her some medicinal herbs that were good for her mother last year, and he never bothered her like Xu Sanshi did, which annoyed her.

More importantly, she has no psychological trauma related to Dai Youheng.

"Junior Brother Youheng, be careful! The control skills of that Ghost Sunflower Martial Soul are very powerful. Be careful not to get hit!" Jiang Nannan hurriedly reminded him, her tone filled with genuine worry.

"Don't worry!" Dai Youheng replied, his figure flashing like lightning as he lunged straight at Gui Jiankui! He unleashed the Evil Shadow Soul-Splitting Claw, carrying tearing dark energy, easily shredding several Gui Jiankui vines that were trying to stop him.

Gui Jiankui sensed that the soul power fluctuations released by Dai Youheng were around level thirty-two, assuming that this was his full strength. A disdainful sneer immediately appeared on her face. "A mere level thirty-two dares to interfere? You're courting death. I'll deal with you first! Third Soul Skill, Void Heaven Gui Kui Seize!"

She intended to finish the battle quickly, and immediately used her strongest soul control skill! In the center of that eerie ghost sunflower plate, the twisted ghost face suddenly opened its mouth wide, and an invisible mental shockwave that could make one's soul tremble instantly shot towards Dai Youheng!

"Heh, your attributes are quite similar to mine! Second Soul Skill, Evil Shadow Soul-Splitting Claw!" He shouted, not choosing to defend or dodge, but instead forcefully thrusting his tiger claw, imbued with evil and tearing power, forward! He was actually attacking with attack, using his evil soul power, filled with destructive attributes, to directly confront the invisible mental control fluctuations!

Sizzle—!

The collision between the evil-attribute soul power and the mental fluctuations produced a strange sound, and they were briefly locked in a stalemate!

While the Void Heaven Ghost Sunflower's attack can indeed ignore defense, Dai Youheng is not defending now, but rather attacking in response to attack.

A hint of surprise flashed in Gui Jiankui's eyes; she hadn't expected the other party to be able to block her third soul skill!

In that stalemate, a glint of light flashed in Dai Youheng's eyes!

"First Soul Skill, Demonic Tiger Body!"

The yellow spirit ring shone brightly, and the dark patterns around his body suddenly became brighter. His strength, speed, and defense instantly increased by fifty percent, and the power of the previously stalemated Evil Shadow Soul Claw suddenly increased!

"break!"

With a low growl, he ripped forward with his dark tiger claws! The invisible mental control fluctuations were torn apart and shattered by him!

Gui Jiankui suffered a backlash from the soul skill, let out a muffled groan, and felt a momentary mental lapse.

Dai Youheng's figure had already approached like a ghost! The whole process was as fast as lightning, without the slightest hesitation to show any mercy!

Roar! The phantom of the Evil Shadow Tiger roared, and Dai Youheng delivered an incredibly heavy straight punch, which landed squarely on Gui Jiankui's soft abdomen!

"Ugh!" Gui Jian Kui cried out in pain, her body arching uncontrollably as she flew backward.

However, her ankle was grabbed by Dai Youheng's left hand, which shot out with lightning speed! The touch was delicate, but he didn't stop moving. He used his arm to lift her up and slam her hard into the ground!

boom!

A muffled thud was heard, and the ground trembled slightly.

Before Gui Jiankui could react, Dai Youheng had already delivered a precise kick to her lower back!

"Pfft—" Gui Jian Kui spat out a mouthful of acidic water, and like a kite with a broken string, she crashed into a moving stone wall next to her, embedding herself heavily in it, completely losing consciousness and the ability to fight.

The entire battle, from start to finish, lasted only a few breaths!

Ruthless, decisive, and efficient! There was no hesitation or hesitation, and no mercy was shown just because the opponent was a woman!

The next moment, the announcement rang throughout the venue: "Ghost Aoi has been eliminated by Dai Youheng."

Outside, on the high platform, Yan Shaozhe, Qian Duoduo, and the others, who had been watching the situation closely, were all surprised to see Dai Youheng's clean, efficient, and even somewhat brutal fighting style.

Qian Duoduo couldn't help but click his tongue, "This kid... he really goes all out! But his combat awareness and timing, is he really a second-year student?"

Yan Shaozhe's eyes also revealed admiration. "The Evil Shadow Demon Tiger Martial Soul is indeed domineering. Moreover, he is very clever. Knowing that the Ghost Sunflower Martial Soul's control skills are powerful, he didn't give her a chance to fully exert her abilities. Instead, he directly used a stronger attack soul skill to break through the control, and he showed no mercy after getting close. He is a good prospect. However, this Evil Shadow Demon Tiger Martial Soul has evil as its main attribute and darkness as its secondary attribute. We must pay more attention to it in the future. We can't let it become an evil soul master."

Dai Youheng shook his hand, as if he had merely swatted away a fly. He looked at Mu Shengsheng, who had paused in shock, and Jiang Nannan, who was somewhat dazed, and said calmly, "Senior Jiang, I have accomplished my mission!"
