Chapter 299 The Fragrance Attracts the Soul Beast (Part 2)

Just as Tang San's spider web was about to envelop the Ghost Tiger, its body flickered strangely, and the original Ghost Tiger turned into three.

Bound by the spider web, one of them vanished as a phantom, while the other two pounced even faster.

Ghost Tiger's innate ability: Shadow Clone.

Dai Mubai roared, and all four of his spirit rings flashed simultaneously. His body had already begun to expand rapidly when the Ghost Tiger appeared. Seeing the Ghost Tiger pounce on him, he charged forward without hesitation.

With a pair of tiger paws slapping forward, white light spewed from its mouth, and the White Tiger Blazing Light Wave was activated.

The increase in soul power also greatly increased the power of soul skills, and Dai Mubai's goal was simply to block the ghost tiger's attack.

In a flash of white light, another ghost tiger vanished. Without a doubt, Dai Mubai had attacked another shadow.

Just as Ma Hongjun and Xiao Wu were about to attack the Ghost Tiger's true form, its massive body flashed with black light and split into two more figures. At this moment, it had arrived in front of everyone, and the three bodies pounced on the Fragrant Silk Immortal Item from different angles. Having learned from the previous lesson, no one knew which one was the real Ghost Tiger.

Just then, Tang San's eyes flashed with purple-gold light. He glanced around and shouted, "The one on the left is real. Zhu Qing, be careful!"

Under the gaze of the Purple Demon Eye, the Ghost Tigers had nowhere to hide. Although Tang San's eyes could not yet be called Fiery Eyes of Truth, after reaching the Mustard Seed Realm, his eyes could even distinguish the differences in the attributes of energy. The three Ghost Tigers with different aura fluctuations were naturally identified at a glance.

At this moment, only Zhu Zhuqing was facing the true form of the Ghost Tiger. Behind her were Ning Rongrong and Oscar. This Ghost Tiger was undoubtedly extremely intelligent, choosing the most vulnerable direction to launch its attack.

Flander, Liu Erlong, and Zhao Wuji were all ready to act. If the Shrek Seven Devils could not withstand the attack of this ghost tiger, they would immediately take action.

Having worked together for so long, the Shrek Seven Devils had already reached a certain level of tacit understanding. Seeing Zhu Zhuqing in danger, the purple-gold light in Tang San's eyes suddenly intensified, and everyone only felt a blinding flash of light.

The ghost tiger let out a fierce roar, and its forward momentum slowed down considerably. Even its other two clones vanished into nothingness.

Zhu Zhuqing knew very well that there was no room to dodge behind him, so instead of retreating, he charged forward to meet the Ghost Tiger. At that moment, three streams of heat surged into him from behind, greatly increasing his strength, agility, and soul power, instantly pushing him beyond his peak condition.

With the Netherworld Thrust activated, Zhu Zhuqing's petite body crashed directly into Ghost Tiger. Her fingertips, sharp as blades, mercilessly swept across Ghost Tiger's neck, leaving several deep wounds.

Stunned by Tang San's mental attack, Ghost Tiger awoke in excruciating pain. With a fierce roar, black light surged from his entire body, causing it to swell. Incredibly, he shifted sideways, managing to dodge Zhu Zhuqing's successive Netherworld Hundred Claws.

However, this brief delay was enough. Dai Mubai's tall body pounced from the side, all the tiger stripes on his powerful body turning golden. With a roar, golden light burst forth, and countless fist-sized golden orbs of light instantly locked onto the Ghost Tiger's body, swarming towards it. This was Dai Mubai's recently acquired fourth soul skill, White Tiger Meteor Shower.

In terms of explosive power, Dai Mubai's fourth soul skill may not be as good as Fatty's Phoenix Roaring Strike, but its greatest feature is its ability to lock onto the opponent. Once the target is locked, all the white tiger meteors formed from soul power will unleash a barrage effect.

All attack power can be concentrated on the same opponent, or it can be dispersed instantly to attack multiple opponents at the same time.

Each meteor's attack power was equivalent to one-tenth of Dai Mubai's own soul power, demonstrating just how powerfully this soul ring amplified his abilities. There were over a hundred of those meteors.

Before being mentally assaulted by Tang San, Ghost Tiger could have used its clone skill to dodge Dai Mubai's attacks as much as possible. However, now that its brain has been damaged by the Purple Demon Eye, it is temporarily unable to use its clone skill. Helpless, it can only use its body to withstand Dai Mubai's attacks.

A burst of black light flashed, transforming into a black light shield that enveloped the Ghost Tiger's body. Every time a White Tiger Meteor struck it, a violent roar erupted. Dense booms rang out continuously, and golden ripples burst forth from the black light.

Ghost Tiger curls his body up as much as possible to reduce the area exposed to attacks and make his defense stronger.

The Shrek Seven Devils coordinated perfectly. Ning Rongrong, holding the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, had already unleashed three of her soul skills on the five people responsible for the attack.

In addition to the increase in strength and speed, her third soul skill, also a thousand-year-old soul skill, directly amplifies soul power. In other words, the soul power that Tang San and his group of five currently possess is 140% of their normal level.

The primary support effect of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Martial Soul has become increasingly apparent as Ning Rongrong's strength has improved.

Of course, due to the enhanced effects of the soul skill, the consumption of Ning Rongrong's own soul power was undoubtedly enormous. With the amplification in three aspects, even though she already possessed level 40 soul power, she could only last for five to ten minutes at most.

The deafening roar churned the earth, and the Ghost Tiger, like a small boat amidst raging wolves, was constantly battered. Yet, it was indeed formidable, managing not to capsize despite the onslaught.

The White Tiger Meteor Shower eventually came to an end. Just as all the roaring stopped, Ghost Tiger's curled-up body suddenly stretched out, and then a huge black light and shadow burst out from his body, rushing straight towards Zhu Zhuqing.

The black light and shadow condensed in mid-air into a shape exactly like the Ghost Tiger's body, even in size. The terrifying energy fluctuations caused the air to emit a piercing shriek, as if it had been cleaved in two by the black light.

The five members of the Shrek Seven Devils responsible for the attack were surrounding Ghost Tiger in the center. Ghost Tiger's movements were too fast. No one expected that it could still launch a full-force attack so quickly after just enduring the bombardment of the White Tiger Meteor Shower and bleeding from its mouth and nose.

Even if Tang San wanted to release the Blue Silver Grass to rescue Zhu Zhuqing, it was already too late.

A desperate attack from a soul beast over three thousand years old is absolutely terrifying. The Ghost Tiger is not the 'Pink Lady' who lacks offensive capabilities. The reason it chose to attack Zhu Zhuqing is because Zhu Zhuqing's back is closest to the Fragrant Qiluo Immortal Item at this moment.

As long as it can create an opening here, it can not only seize the fragrant and exquisite immortal product, but also quickly escape by going around to the other side.

Unfortunately, this ghost tiger underestimated Zhu Zhuqing's strength and willpower.

Facing the impact of the black light and shadow, Zhu Zhuqing neither dodged nor avoided. The purple light of her third soul ring instantly shone brightly, and her hands came together above her head with lightning speed. The claw blades on her five fingers merged together at an astonishing speed, turning into a sharp blade about a foot long.

Similarly, black light surged from Zhu Zhuqing's body, and she seemed to have become part of that sharp blade as she swung her hands down to meet the black light released by the ghost tiger.

This is the Thousand-Year Soul Ring Skill that Netherworld Cat Zhu Zhuqing obtained after reaching level 30—Netherworld Slash.

The same ear-piercing tearing sound rang out, and on both sides of the Netherworld Slash, the air twisted into water-like ripples, clearly splitting open from the middle.

The black blade of light condensed in a single straight line, slashing down and striking the illusory image of the ghost tiger with tremendous force.

With the assistance of Ning Rongrong's Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, this attack can be said to be the strongest attack that Zhu Zhuqing can currently achieve.

There was no roar of collision, only a teeth-grinding friction sound.

In mid-air, the ghost tiger's light and shadow paused instantly before the sharp Netherworld Slash attack, which cleaved halfway into its body in a flash.

However, this was only the third soul skill after all. This shadow attack was a life-or-death blow for the Ghost Tiger, whose body had already leaped up after it.

The power of the Netherworld Slash was ultimately negated by the Ghost Tiger Shadow, whose energy was far greater than its own.

Perhaps because it was blocked, the dark figure paused for a moment and then immediately rushed towards Zhu Zhuqing at an even faster speed.

At this moment, Zhu Zhuqing was in a dangerous situation, having just unleashed her full power in an attack, before any new strength had been generated.

A tall figure stood like a shield in front of Zhu Zhuqing, without any fancy moves, its white-furred tiger paw slamming out to meet her face.

Amidst a deafening roar, the tall figure swayed, yet refused to retreat an inch. It was none other than the Evil-Eyed White Tiger, Dai Mubai.

Although Zhu Zhuqing's Netherworld Slash failed to completely break through Ghost Tiger's attack, it bought her some time. Dai Mubai, realizing the danger, rushed over immediately and stood in front of Zhu Zhuqing.

He used his powerful soul force to block the remaining attacks for her.

Ignoring the blood trickling from the corner of his mouth, Dai Mubai immediately displayed his domineering side, charging towards the oncoming ghost tiger. With his soul power concentrated, the White Tiger Protective Barrier was activated, and he forcefully collided with the ghost tiger's body.
