"Titan Cangqiong Cannon!"
Facing the oncoming Dark Evil Tiger, Qin Xiao certainly chose not to dodge.
With his left hand clenched into a fist, he struck out fiercely!
Boom!
His fist collided heavily with the Dark Evil Tiger, creating ripples that spread through the void.
"Awoo..."
The Dark Evil Tiger cried out strangely and retreated in a hurry.
In contrast, Qin Xiao involuntarily took two steps back to dissipate the impact force brought by the Dark Evil Tiger.
"As expected of a being that can challenge Soul Beast Kings with a cultivation level of sixty thousand years using strength alone, this power is indeed not simple."
Qin Xiao's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but praise aloud.
"Your Highness, are you all right?"
"Perhaps we should give up on this soul beast. It's too dangerous to stay here for long."
Zhao Wuji asked with concern from a distance.
It would be one thing anywhere else, but this was the heart of the Aquipeia Forest; if they caused too much commotion, it would attract many Soul Beast Kings.
Then Qin Xiao's voice rang in Zhao Wuji's mind, "No need to panic. Although the Dark Evil Tiger is a powerful being in the Aquipeia Forest, its nature means it doesn't have many allies among soul beasts. Many would rather see it dead. How could they come to help?"
This was not something Qin Xiao made up.
The Dark Evil Tiger had a unique constitution. It cultivated very slowly on its own, and its cultivation level could only improve rapidly by swallowing soul beasts or humans through its evil attributes.
Ignoring its current cultivation level of sixty thousand years, the number of soul beasts it had killed was innumerable.
This creature was truly a double-crosser among soul beasts.
After hearing Qin Xiao's explanation, Zhao Wuji finally felt relieved.
Roar!
At this moment, it seemed that Qin Xiao had enraged the Dark Evil Tiger. It roared furiously and launched a mass attack once again.
Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh.
With a single swipe of its claw, countless dark wind blades tore through the air towards Qin Xiao.
Beyond that, dark clouds appeared in the sky, a sign that it was brewing another soul skill.
"You want to go for broke, huh?"
Qin Xiao was undaunted. With a thought, the nine Soul Rings appeared beneath his feet.
In contrast, the Dark Evil Tiger paused briefly when it saw the Soul Rings under Qin Xiao's feet.
Especially his first soul ring— it sensed a familiar aura.
It was one of the two hundred-thousand-year soul beasts from the Lake of Life, the Titan Ape!
Remembering the Titan Cangqiong Cannon Qin Xiao had used against it earlier, the Dark Evil Tiger was even more convinced of its thoughts.
He had killed a hundred-thousand-year soul beast?
This was one tough opponent!
A shiver ran through it, and the idea of retreat sprang to mind.
Boom, boom, boom, boom!
With just a thought, from the dark storm clouds above, streaks of black thunder descended, embodying the combined attributes of wind, thunder, evil, and darkness—the Dark Evil God Thunder.
Frankly speaking, even a Titled Douluo struck by such black thunder would be left severely wounded, if not dead.
And after unleashing all of this, the Dark Evil Tiger didn't even wait to see the outcome before turning to flee.
"Think it's a little late to run now?"
Qin Xiao's chilly voice suddenly reached the ears of the Dark Evil Tiger.
As it turned its head, the Titan Ape, swathed in electric light and undeterred by the black thunder, charged out from the area covered by the Dark Evil God Thunder.
The Thunder Titan was incredibly fast, and in a flash, it was right in front of the tiger, slamming down a fierce punch.
Boom!
The Dark Evil Tiger was smashed to the ground like a punching bag.
And at that moment, Qin Xiao's figure hovered in the air above it, looking down from a commanding height.
"Roar, roar, roar!"
The Dark Evil Tiger barked furiously at Qin Xiao,
as if venting its dissatisfaction.
However, Qin Xiao quickly noticed a problem.
That was the flickering of black light all over the Dark Evil Tiger.
"You want to take me to the Life-and-Death Arena, huh?"
Qin Xiao raised an eyebrow, coldly giving the command, "Self-destruct!"
The Life-and-Death Arena was a rather perverse soul skill. After use, Qin Xiao and the Dark Evil Tiger would both return to their juvenile states to duel.
Only one could survive in the Life-and-Death Arena.
Qin Xiao wasn't afraid to fight against the juvenile Dark Evil Tiger, but then what about Old Zhao's Soul Ring?
Therefore, he couldn't allow the Dark Evil Tiger's skill to succeed under any circumstances.
Faced with the oncoming Thunder Titan, the Dark Evil Tiger's eyes flashed with resolve.
The next moment, it gathered all of its power within its body to form a formidable Soul Force Barrier.
Qin Xiao could even sense an extraordinary aura emanating from this barrier.
It seemed to be a force no longer belonging to the world of Soul Land.
"Evil God's power."
"This skill must be the Evil God Protective Body!"
Qin Xiao frowned slightly, recalling the Dark Evil Tiger's strongest defensive soul skill.
In the original story, even Tang San at more than level ninety could only break through the Evil God Protective Body with an all-out strike from the Trident, failing to harm the Dark Evil Tiger.
"Boom!"
Immediately after, a thunderous explosion sounded in the Aquipeia Forest.
A miniature mushroom cloud appeared above the forest canopy.
"Did that guy just get blown to death?"
Qin Xiao looked down at the deep crater created by the explosion and mumbled to himself.
But soon, he spotted the thoroughly battered Dark Evil Tiger.
Only one bat wing remained, and even that was broken.
The sparkle was gone from its eyes, its expression dim.
Now, it had lost all of its previous elegance.
