Chapter 300 The Fragrance Attracts the Soul Beast (Part 2)

The white tiger clashed with the ghost tiger, a muffled groan and a sharp howl sounding almost simultaneously. Dai Mubai staggered backward, but the ghost tiger was also sent flying by the impact.

A slender figure silently appeared behind Ghost Tiger. Her long, straight legs wrapped around its neck. With a backbend, Xiao Wu's body completed a graceful backflip in the air. With her powerful waist strength, Ghost Tiger's body, which was more than three meters long, was thrown into the air and then crashed heavily to the ground.

It emitted a loud roar.

In an instant, Ghost Tiger was already in a state of dizziness.

A flash of red light appeared, and Ma Hongjun's chubby body was already waiting at the point where the Ghost Tiger would land. Just as Xiao Wu's long legs loosened and she sprang up, his right fist accurately struck the ground. The distorted air completely enveloped his and the Ghost Tiger's bodies.

A loud phoenix cry resounded once more in Sunset Forest. As the giant firebird took flight, Ghost Tiger's massive body could no longer utter a single mournful cry.

From Zhu Zhuqing using the Netherworld Slash to temporarily block the Ghost Tiger's Shadow Split attack, to Dai Mubai's powerful frontal defense and knocking it away, to Xiao Wu's graceful connection in the air and Ma Hongjun's final move to restrict the Phoenix Roaring Strike, all of this was connected as smoothly as flowing water.

boom--

The fiery body of the ghost tiger crashed heavily to the ground. It tried to get up, but it couldn't.

The scorching phoenix flames were relentlessly eroding its body. Having endured Dai Mubai's White Tiger Meteor Shower and Ma Hongjun's Phoenix Roaring Strike, this ghost tiger, though far stronger than the Pink Lady, had ultimately suffered a fatal blow.

"Zhu Qing, make your move." Tang San's calm voice rang out just in time.

Zhu Zhuqing bypassed Dai Mubai, transforming into a series of afterimages. Just before the Ghost Tiger breathed its last, she delivered the final blow with her Netherworld Thrust. Her right claw pierced deep into the Ghost Tiger's brain through its left eye, ending its life.

Ma Hongjun inhaled deeply, withdrawing the phoenix flames from Ghost Tiger and those clinging to Zhu Zhuqing's arm. This brought the perfect kill to a perfect close.

Just then, the master's somewhat urgent voice suddenly rang out, "Little San, quickly put away your Fragrant Silk Fairy Item."

Only then did the Shrek Seven Devils notice that while they were dealing with Ghost Tiger, Zhao Wuji, Flander, and Liu Erlong had already started fighting on the other side.

Before anyone knew it, seven spirit beasts of various shapes and sizes had appeared in the arena. They were besieging Flander and his companions. If the three of them hadn't been so powerful, even if they had managed to escape with just one, the Shrek Seven Devils would have been in serious trouble.

It turned out that just as the Ghost Tiger appeared and attracted the Shrek Seven Devils' attack, seven more soul beasts arrived one after another. Tang San and his group could barely handle one soul beast that was about five thousand years old, but if another one came, they would probably suffer casualties. Flander, Liu Erlong, and Zhao Wuji immediately stepped forward to help them block the attacks from the later soul beasts.

Unfortunately, the number of these newer spirit beasts kept increasing, and each one was more powerful than the last. If this continued, they feared they would eventually be unable to withstand them.

That's why the master told Tang San to quickly put away the targets of these spirit beasts.

Tang San glanced at the scene briefly, but had already made a certain assessment of the situation. Without hesitation, he said to Dai Mubai, "Mubai, you take Ghost Tiger's corpse and Zhu Qing into the poison array first, and let her absorb the soul ring. The rest of you come with me."

Dai Mubai paused for a moment, but only slightly. He trusted Tang San, though he secretly smiled bitterly. Zhu Zhuqing already had a bad temper; if she absorbed a tiger-type martial soul, wouldn't she become even more of a tigress? However, her martial soul also belonged to the feline family, and the Ghost Tiger was known for its speed, so it seemed quite suitable.

As Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing retreated into the poison array, Tang San took the various sausages handed to him by Oscar. After each of them ate a recovery sausage, they immediately moved closer to Flander and the other two.

That's real strength!

Seeing Flander and the other two make their move, the Shrek Seven Devils couldn't help but secretly admire them.

Flander, Liu Erlong, and Zhao Wuji were all Soul Saint level experts above level 70. At this moment, the three of them did not cooperate at all, but fought on their own, yet they withstood the attacks of the seven soul beasts and prevented them from crossing the line.

The reason they didn't cooperate wasn't because they couldn't, but because they couldn't. All three of their soul skills were too powerful; if they cooperated, it would actually hinder their ability to unleash their full potential.

At this moment, Ning Rongrong demonstrated the power of her family's Nine Treasures Glazed Pagoda.

When Ghost Tiger was defeated, she had already stopped assisting Tang San and the others. At this moment, the three halos on the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda shone brightly again, turning into three streams of light that simultaneously flowed into Flander and the other two.

The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda's support effect is better on stronger Soul Masters, a fact known to the Shrek Seven Devils. This is because its support provides a percentage-based boost; the higher the base value, the stronger the effect. However, when actually applied in real combat, its terrifying, game-changing effect still greatly surprised Tang San and the others.

The three of them suddenly shone brightly, and the seven soul beasts that had been attacking them relentlessly, making it difficult for them to defend themselves, were almost simultaneously forced back.

Unfortunately, Ning Rongrong's support only lasted for a few breaths. This was the first time she had ever supported a Soul Master whose Soul Power was far greater than her own.

Unlike the feeling of assisting the Shrek Seven Devils, in just a few seconds, she felt as if her soul power had been drained, and her whole body felt indescribably uncomfortable.

"Retreat into the poison array!" Flander shouted. He made this decision out of necessity, because he saw more than ten spirit beasts rushing out of the forest, all heading this way.

The fragrance of the Fragrant Silk Immortal Herb was rich and lingering. Although Tang San had already put it back into his Hundred Treasures Pouch, the scent remained. Many of the later-arriving soul beasts possessed cultivation levels exceeding ten thousand years, which was beyond the capabilities of Flander and his two companions.

The Shrek Seven Devils and Grandmaster quickly retreated into the poison array set up by Dugu Bo. Although Flander and the other two had lost Ning Rongrong's assistance again, they were still powerful enough to run away even if they couldn't win.

Perhaps because the poison array here had been a deterrent for a long time, just as Tang San had expected, nearly twenty soul beasts stopped immediately when they reached the outer edge of the poison array, and could only launch some ranged attacks.

Unfortunately, the distance was limited, and after being blocked a few times by Flander and his group, the Shrek Academy group had already retreated into the poison array, which was no longer within their reach.

"Little San, the effects of your divine herbs are truly amazing." Flander looked at the ever-increasing number of soul beasts outside with lingering fear. Who said there weren't powerful soul beasts in Sunset Forest? Of the twenty-odd soul beasts that had gathered outside, at least six or seven were over ten thousand years old, and one even approached thirty thousand years of cultivation. The remaining soul beasts were mostly over three thousand years old as well.

Even the impulsive Liu Erlong understood that they were no match for so many high-level soul beasts. They could only temporarily avoid their attacks.

The master turned his gaze to Zhu Zhuqing, who was already absorbing the spirit ring, and said with delight, "It wasn't a waste of effort after all. That ghost tiger is quite good; both its skills and attributes are a good match for Zhuqing."

Tang San was observing the spirit beasts outside. Since the scent of the Fragrant Qiluo Immortal Herb had not yet dissipated, the spirit beasts outside were still lingering outside the poison array, absorbing the scent in the air while watching them with predatory eyes.

They clearly won't leave until the aroma dissipates.

Tang San rolled up the sleeve on his right arm and quickly removed the Flying Claw from it, handing it to Flander who was standing to the side.

Flanders asked in confusion, "What are you doing?"

Tang San said, "Dean, there are so many spirit beasts outside, and a few of them are just right for us. They dare not enter the poison array, so we will capture and hunt the ones we need. With your, Teacher Zhao's, and Teacher Erlong's strength, capturing them should be no problem at all."

Flander exclaimed in surprise, "Little Three, are you kidding me? Didn't you see how many spirit beasts are outside? As soon as we go out, we'll undoubtedly be attacked by them all at once. Even we wouldn't be able to escape unscathed. There are just too many spirit beasts outside. The explosive power of their attacks would give even a Title Douluo a headache."

Tang San smiled slightly, confidently pointing to the Flying Claw in his hand, and said, "That's why I'm giving this to you. With it, you don't need to go out at all. Mu Bai, Xiao Ao, give your Flying Claws to Teacher Zhao and Teacher Erlong to use first."

Upon hearing Tang San's words, Flander became very curious. "Well, so you had a backup plan." Although he didn't understand what Tang San wanted them to do yet, he could tell from Tang San's expression that Tang San was quite confident in what he was going to do.

From the moment he proposed setting up the poison array, he had clearly already completed his plan in his mind, with each step linked to the next, demonstrating a level of meticulousness that even surpassed that of most adults.

Could it be that Haotian Douluo's genes are just that good?

Tang San helped Flanders and the other two put the Flying Claw on their right wrists amidst their curiosity, and then explained to them in detail how to use it.
