Douluo: Wuhun Longyuan Sword, I have become the scabbard

Chapter 99 The Evil Tiger's Generous Gift

Ding Quan and the others left quickly when the Azure Bull Python appeared. They had already arrived at the outer edge of the Star Dou Great Forest and were about to reach the edge area. They stopped here because they had not yet obtained their sixth soul ring.

"There is a situation!"

While resting, Ding Quan suddenly felt a chill run down his spine, as if he were being watched by something.

Once you get to a place like this, there shouldn't be anything that can threaten you.

But then a bloody smell came from not far away, and at the same time a familiar aura appeared in Ding Quan's field of vision.

"Quan? Is this the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger?" When Ding Quan noticed something was wrong, Wei'er immediately became alert and also became suspicious when she saw a familiar figure.

"should be."

"But what about its size? And why have its eyes turned blue?!"

Ding Quan was also somewhat surprised. A Dark Demon Evil God Tiger, covered in wounds, was slowly approaching their location. However, this Dark Demon Evil God Tiger was far smaller than the eight-meter-long tiger they had seen before.

The Dark Demon Tiger that has appeared now is only about five meters long, and its size is much smaller than before.

The wings on its back were shattered and now clung tightly to its body. The blood flowing from its body was gray, and as soon as it hit the ground, it corroded a small patch of the ground before disappearing completely.

What surprised Ding Quan even more was that its eyes had turned a strange, eerie blue.

Flames ignited within Xuanhuo Eyes, revealing that this Dark Demon Evil God Tiger was no longer over 60,000 years old; its soul power was now only around 30,000 years old.

"It must have been due to the use of some powerful skill that caused its age to decrease."

Seeing the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's current state, Ding Quan understood.

This Dark Demon God Tiger is not only the one that the others saw it use with the four attributes of evil, darkness, wind, and thunder.

It also possesses two extremely rare, and arguably the most powerful, attributes: time and space.

The Dark Demon God Tiger has never used these two attributes, presumably because they have extremely strong side effects.

The Soul Skill "Arena of Life and Death" is indeed incredibly powerful. Once you enter the Arena of Life and Death, you will revert to your juvenile state. However, the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger is unaffected because it has the skill "Protected by the Evil God".

If time were to rewind, even a powerful being who had returned to childhood would be no match for the Dark Demon God Tiger, which had existed for tens of thousands of years. If nothing unexpected happened, anyone who entered it would be immediately subdued by it.

In the original novel, the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger also returned to its juvenile state. It was only because Tang San used the Purple Demon Eye to break its evil god protection that Tang San was able to defeat it.

The Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's "Life and Death Arena Inspection" skill can be dodged. As long as you are careful, you can avoid it. Tang San was caught off guard by the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's trick when he was careless.

The Azure Bull Python and the Titan Giant Ape knew about the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's skill and had obviously suffered losses from it before, although it was unclear why they were unharmed now.

The Dark Demon God Tiger's current state can only be explained by the price it paid for using divine skills.

Staring at the dark blue eyes of the Dark Demon God Tiger, Ding Quan knew that its eyes would change from red to this color when it activated the Arena of Life and Death.

Its current state is likely due to the influence of time reversal.

It seems they paid a heavy price to escape from there.

"Shall we make a move?" When Wei'er saw the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger rushing towards them, she immediately activated her Martial Soul, and five Soul Rings appeared on her body: two yellow, two purple, and one black. With a clench of her right hand, the Dark Gold Terror Claw shot out.

“Even though it’s badly injured right now, we still have to be careful.” Ling also released her martial soul, and five soul rings appeared on her body.

"Pay attention to its skills."

Ding Quanlongyuan Sword appeared in his hand, and he immediately headed towards the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger. His face was very serious. Even though the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger was seriously injured and its lifespan had dropped, its strength was definitely not weak.

The appearance of this Dark Demon God Tiger here is clearly for the sake of his group.

It seems that even though it is now weakened and seriously injured, it still believes it can control itself.

Ding Quan was surprised that it was able to locate the group. Did it have something on him that allowed it to pinpoint their location?
Looking at the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's now dark blue eyes, one wonders if these eyes possess abilities similar to the Mysterious Fire Eyes that the user owns.

"I know." Ding Quan had already told the two of them about the skills that the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger possessed. After hearing about the abilities that the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger had, Ling and Wei'er were also a little amazed. As expected of a soul beast with the aura of an evil god, no wonder it was able to leave the hands of two hundred-thousand-year-old soul beasts with a cultivation of more than 60,000 years.

Looking at its aura, Ding Quan thought that his sixth soul ring might be on it, and he was indeed somewhat envious of its inner core.

If he couldn't handle the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger at its full strength, he should be able to handle the heavily injured Dark Demon Evil God Tiger with some caution. Ding Quan looked at Ling Wei and the other two behind him, knowing that they also had their own trump cards.

Moreover, it came here clearly intending to use itself and the others as nourishment.

Woo!
The Dark Demon Evil God Tiger let out a low growl, whether from anger or pain from its injuries, it was unclear. Seeing that Ding Quan and the others were actually charging directly at it, a gray aura enveloped its body. However, its soul power was now far less than when the group had encountered it before.

A sword aura slashed towards the Dragon Abyss Sword, but the opponent's still massive body was extremely agile, and it instantly dodged the attack.

Just as Ding Quan was some distance away from it, a gray light emanated from the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger.

Ding Quan frowned, not expecting that it could still release its domain even at this time.

His expression immediately turned solemn, and a chilling white killing intent instantly spread out, rivaling the opponent's domain.

Ding Quan roughly understood the effect of the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's ultimate evil domain. It could corrode the soul power within its domain, which was somewhat similar to the effect of the six-winged angel's angel domain. However, one effect was to erode and assimilate, while the other was to dissolve and purify. One was evil, and the other was holy, with completely opposite effects.

clang!
With the blessing of wind and thunder attributes, what incredible speed, and what power!
The sword aimed at Longyuan was caught by the claws of the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger, producing a metallic clang. A tremendous force followed, and Ding Quan was instantly thrown backward.

"Fourth Soul Skill - Spiritual Illusion Blade!"

Ice blades shot towards the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger in an instant, causing the tiger to pause in its attempt to pounce on Ding Quan.

Immediately before Ding Quan and the others' eyes, the wings of the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger flapped, and black light blades instantly knocked down the dozens of ice blades released by Ling's fourth soul skill.

"spring!"

"It reacts very quickly and can see through our attacks." Ding Quan was somewhat surprised when he saw this, but he quickly realized that the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger did indeed have such an ability.

It was capable of directly dispelling Tang's 300,000-year-old soul bone skill, which was already a titled Douluo, with a single strike using the Evil God Hook. It could see through 100,000-year-old soul skills, so such an attack was obviously no match for it.

Looking into the eyes of the Dark Demon God Tiger, its mental strength is definitely top-tier.

A three-meter-long, dark golden claw instantly reached out to grab the Dark Demon God Tiger.

Woohoo!

A hint of disdain flashed in the dark blue eyes of the Dark Demon Tiger, and then the Evil God Hook behind it lightly pierced out. Before the eyes of the group, its Evil God Hook flicked lightly, directly striking the center of the Dark Gold Terror Claw, which shattered and dissipated into a dark gold color.

"This ability is similar to Ding Quan's fourth soul skill!" Electricity surged around Wei'er as she thought of Ding Quan's Purification skill, which could eliminate the effects of other people's soul skills.

"Go all out and see if its tail is enough!"

Upon seeing this, Ding Quan charged forward again, and all the rings on the Dragon Abyss Sword lit up as he unleashed all his soul skills, his aura surging instantly.

At the same time, his spiritual power surged, and a golden halo emanated from his body, forcing back the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's supreme evil domain. He transformed into a sword light and flew towards the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger.

Flames blazed in his eyes, and a phantom golden sword light shot directly toward the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger. If it were the previous Dark Demon Evil God Tiger, Ding Quan's mental attack might not have been effective, but the current Dark Demon Evil God Tiger might not be able to withstand it.

Mental attacks are hard to avoid. The Dark Demon Evil God Tiger also detected the mental attack, and a faint light appeared in its dark blue eyes.

The two spiritual energies collided in mid-air, causing the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger to freeze instantly. Ding Quan also paused for a moment, then reacted, his gaze towards the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger becoming even sharper.

This guy's mental strength is no stronger than mine right now.

The Dragon Abyss Sword clashed with the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's paw once again. This time, Ding Quan was not repelled, but the Dragon Abyss Sword was blocked by the evil energy emanating from the tiger.

However, the purification skill on the Dragon Abyss Sword continued to work, and the Dragon Abyss Sword began to slowly infiltrate the evil energy.

Roar!
The Dark Demon God Tiger roared, as gray blood began to seep from the Dragon Abyss Sword.

Ding Quan dodged its outstretched jaws, and at the same time, a sword light shot out from his eyes again. Even at such close range, the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger still maintained its defense and reacted.

But Ding Quan is not alone.

"Radiant Light!" Having already used her third and fourth soul skills, Vera used her second soul skill again. A terrifying bolt of lightning struck out the instant Ding Quan launched his mental attack, heading straight for the Evil God Hook that the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger was about to use.

Meanwhile, a chilling aura suddenly erupted, and a cold current surged toward the Dark Demon God Tiger, freezing the ground it touched instantly.

Fear finally appeared in the dark blue eyes of the Dark Demon God Tiger, because the soul power of these two people suddenly emitted two kinds of light, one gold and one silver, which instantly spread out and enveloped it.

Domain skills! And two of them!

The Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's intelligence is now comparable to that of a 100,000-year-old soul beast. It can clearly sense that under the influence of these two domains, its wind and thunder attributes are suppressed, and its evil aura is also affected.

Moreover, the sword of the person in front of me also posed a deadly threat.

The gray aura emanating from the Dark Demon God Tiger erupted once more, amplifying the power of the Evil God's Protection skill.

Stab it!

The dark purple lightning that spread from Vera's domain to the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger struck it directly the moment it reached the tiger. A chilling current struck it as well. In an instant, black and purple lightning filled the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's body, and ice began to form on its body, but it was blocked by the gray evil energy.

You can see that the gray, malevolent aura surrounding it is visibly diminishing.

Seeing this, Ding Quan stepped forward again, and thrust the Dragon Abyss Sword directly towards the head of the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger.

clang!
The Dragon Abyss Sword, radiating golden light, plunged directly into the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's forehead, but then made little progress.

This guy's got real backbone.

Ouch!

A painful roar came from the mouth of the Dark Demon God Tiger. Its huge paw slammed towards Ding Quan. Ding Quan drew his Dragon Abyss Sword to block, but was knocked away. However, he took advantage of the right leg's soul bone skill to fly up and directly stab at the Dark Demon God Tiger's eye.

Although the Dark Demon God Tiger dodged the attack, the Dragon Abyss Sword still pierced its head, leaving another bloody hole.

As the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger dodged, Ding Quan's eyes lit up again, unleashing another mental attack, causing the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's struggling movements to freeze once more.

At this moment, a dark golden claw, several times more powerful than before, descended from the sky, instantly shattering the gray evil energy on the Dark Demon God Tiger and leaving several hideous wounds on its body.

Ding Quan looked at the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger, which had suffered fatal injuries, and nodded to Ling and Wei'er.

This Dark Demon Evil God Tiger has underestimated our group too much. Although our group's soul power level is not high, the strength we can exert is just as extraordinary as that of this Dark Demon Evil God Tiger.

Moreover, given the suppression created by the four domains that have appeared here, its strength can be exerted even less in the face of these domains.

Vera's domain is called Thunderous Aura, which allows her to control the lightning and wind attributes within its range, while simultaneously enhancing the power of these two attributes within herself.

Ling's domain is called Ice Soul, which can enhance the power of her own ice attribute, while greatly suppressing the opponent's mental power, weakening the enemy's spirit, and making them sluggish.

Of course, domain skills can enhance one's own strength and suppress opponents.

Ding Quan's Dragon Abyss Domain further enhanced the power of the group.

Under the domain of the crowd, the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's commonly used wind and thunder attributes were suppressed, as was its mental power. More importantly, its strongest skill, Evil God's Protection, was countered by Su Ge. Moreover, Ling's ice and fire attributes could also dissolve the soul power of this soul skill. This was something that the Azure Bull Python and Titan Giant Ape's domains could not do.

The group held back, with Vera focusing particularly on the Evil God Hook, as it was the source of a terrifying skill that they absolutely could not allow it to use.

"Wei'er, use 'Reign of Heaven' before you make your move! Ling, suppress its spirit with me!" Ding Quan said to the two a few minutes later.

"Alright!" Ling's first and third spirit rings lit up, and he and Ding Quan continued to use mental attacks towards the brain of the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger.

Ding Quan knew that the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger did not want the group to obtain its inner core, and Ding Quan believed that such a powerful soul beast must possess a soul bone.

"Understood!" Upon hearing this, Vera nodded. Under the effect of the Sovereign's Rule, the Dark Gold Terror Claw, carrying Vera's will, went straight for the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's forehead.

Then, before their very eyes, a dark gray spirit ring appeared in front of them.

"I've been waiting for you!" Just as the soul rings on the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger were rising, a dark bead appeared on the tiger's body. Before it could make a move, Ding Quan grabbed it directly.

"Quan, the age of this spirit ring is not right?" Wei'er frowned as she looked at the rising spirit ring. The age of this spirit ring was not the 30,000 years that the group had shown when they dealt with it, but more than 60,000 years.

As the spirit ring floated up, the body of the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger began to grow larger, eventually reaching a length of over eight meters, just as it had when the group encountered it.

It seems that the side effects of its soul skill disappeared after death? However, the corpse did not turn into ashes as in the original story. It seems that before it died, it did not fully integrate its power into this bead because of the mental attack.

Xuanhuo Tong looked at the corpse, and Ding Quan laughed.

I just gave away a soul bone, and now I've received another one, and it's of even better quality.

If I'm not mistaken, this evil god hook seems to be part of this soul bone.
