Wind ability? Tang San was shocked. If not for his extremely formidable mental strength, this time he would have lost all track of the Dark Devilgod Tiger. With a soft sway, and without turning his head around, Tang San took three steps to the right, half turning at the same time, the Seagod Trident turning into a ray of golden light scattering behind him.
But, this attack still missed. The Dark Devilgod Tiger that had suddenly appeared behind him came to a sudden stop mid lunge in the air. Its enormous body completely violated the laws gravity as it instantly landed, just in time for the Seagod Trident’s tip to flash past it. The instant the Seagod Trident was behind it, he accelerated again, once more lunging towards Tang San’s wide open back. Two sets of tiger claws ejected. Different from the sharp blades Dai Mubai had in white tiger form, its claws were actually black, not reflecting any light, just like a dark abyss. One paw struck directly at the rear of Tang San’s head, the other towards Tang San’s wist. Its movements were fast, astonishingly so.
The speed also didn’t influence its strength. The vigorous force was completely contained within the claws, until it was just a foot away from Tang San’s body, and he clearly felt the terrifying force they brought. Even with the strength of his body, he would be seriously injured if hit.
Only, it was also just at the moment the tiger claw was about to strike that the Dark Devilgod Tiger also looked distracted. Because, it’s claws only hit an afterimage that vanished in an instant, not striking Tang San himself. Its reaction really was too fast. Its hind legs exerted force in the same instant, its eight meters long giant body retreating swiftly, yet again dodging a heavy strike from the Seagod Trident. Advance and retreat was completed in an instant, with the sense of retreating a thousand li when an attack failed.
This one probing exchange raised the alertness of both man and tiger substantially. The Dark Devilgod Tiger was without a doubt probing with its attack, and Tang San also relied on the Ghost Perplexing Shadow Step to test its reaction. Even though both sides hadn’t truly collided, the Dark Devilgod Tiger’s calm and decisiveness, as well as that instantly erupting force, made Tang San’s expression turn serious.
Not lightly using formidable abilities, that strength completely reserved while probing, but capable of erupting at any moment, was even more terrifying. This Dark Devilgod Tiger was even more difficult than imagined.
Man and tiger changed direction, once again confronting each other. The Dark Devilgod Tiger crouched slightly. While Tang San finally knew its strength, at the same time it also sensed that this human wasn’t as easily handled as those spirit masters it had met before. But this even more strengthened its thoughts of devouring Tang San’s spirit power. In this sense it was the same as Tang San. The stronger the enemy, the greater the benefit of devouring him would be.
“Clever fellow.”
Tang San spoke coldly. His third spirit ring suddenly brightened, the Seagod Trident held in his right hand, his right hand rose, and a yellow green ball of light instantly flew out, straight at the Dark Devilgod Tiger.
The light sphere exploded in midair, turning into a twenty meter diameter large net, spinning towards the Dark Devilgod Tiger. It was Tang San’s third spirit ability, Spiderweb Restraint.
The Dark Devilgod Tiger’s four legs used force simultaneously, sharply moving sideways. Its giant body moved between two large trees, wanting to dodge the Spiderweb Restraint.
If this spiderweb was released by another spirit master, even if that spirit master was just as strong, it might still be able to dodge. Unfortunately, now it faced the Spiderweb Restraint of a direct Tang Sect disciple. Even if the spiderweb was enormous, it was already under the control of Tang San’s hidden weapon skills the moment it was released. Adding in the mental strength guidance, the huge spiderweb also moved sideways, passing straight between the trees. Suddenly accelerating, it was just moments from catching the tiger.
The Dark Devilgod Tiger’s eyes flashed red, suddenly extending the wings on its back, flapping forcefully. Immediately, countless rays show out, turning into several dozen foot long blades that rose into the air, clashing with Tang San’s spiderweb.
If both sides were probing reaction before, then now it was a test of abilities. The Dark Devilgod Tiger shocked Tang San once again. As his fifty thousand year level Spiderweb Restraint met those black blades, it actually completely collapsed into tatters. Of course, the resilient spiderweb also shattered the black blades. Both abilities actually cancelled each other out. In fact, the strength of this spiderweb restraint was twice that of the Blue Silver Emperor, and it was a more than fifty thousand year level spirit ability. But it was still blocked by the Dark Devilgod Tiger’s instant ability. That seemingly unremarkable black light was both wind and evil attributed energy fused together, relying on the powerful cutting of the wind attribute, plus the evil attribute’s powerful corrosion, breaking the spiderweb in one move. This bit showed that the Dark Devilgod Tiger’s evil attribute should be the evolution of the darkness attribute, with the characteristics of the darkness attribute, but even more powerful.
The Dark Devilgod Tiger seemed infuriated. Its right foreclaw abruptly struck the ground, a line of black light shooting straight at Tang San, close to the ground. Where the black light passed, the plants wilted and disappeared one after another. In just an instant, the attack reached Tang San’s feet.
Tang San saw without looking. His left hand stabbed the Seagod Trident straight into the ground in front of him. Relying on his mental strength judgement, the position didn’t deviate in the slightest.
An explosion reverberated. Just as Tang San thought relying on the Seagod Trident could easily block the Dark Devilgod Tiger’s attack, that black light suddenly condensed into a point and exploded, still half a meter away from the Seagod Trident. Dust immediately filled the air, shattered plants flying upwards. Along with the explosion came tremendous wicked energy and a feeling of paralysis, unexpectedly temporarily breaking down Tang San’s mental probe.
This was…… Tang San reacted in shock, the Blue Silver Emperor right leg bone flying ability immediately erupting, making him simultaneously shoot straight upwards like an artillery shell. At the same time his left leg kicked out, countless fragmented red blades of light instantly exploding, launching an omnidirectional attack at the same moment as he escaped from danger.
The Dark Devilgod Tiger used action to inform Tang San that he wasn’t the only one who could create opportunities. Instantly breaking down Tang San’s mental strength probe, the Dark Devilgod Tiger’s enormous body also hurriedly disappeared. And in the previous attack, it had also revealed its third attribute, lightning. This was something missing from the ancient accounts Grandmaster once read.
Evil, wind, lightning. Three attributes.
Tang San became aware of the danger at the same time as he lost track of the Dark Devilgod Tiger, therefore he tried his best to fly upwards. At the same time he used the Evil Spirit Orca left leg bone’s spirit ability Orca Broken Teeth Chop to protect himself. This was a hundred thousand year spirit bone’s ability, and even if the Dark Devilgod Tiger’s attack was powerful, to Tang San it seemed it could still be blocked.
But, an uneasy feeling appeared in Tang San’s heart yet again. The Orca Broken Teeth Chop shot out, but he never felt it collide with any attack, completely hitting nothing. And at this moment, what he didn’t see was the Dark Devilgod Tiger’s enormous body just appear above him. The giant Devilgod Hook on its back quietly swept out. A completely non-reflective hook struck straight at the top of Tang San’s head.
The Dark Devilgod Tiger had a special sprinting ability, it could be used on the ground, but also in the air. It was fast, even faster than teleportation. But different from teleportation was that this dash had to travel to a preset target in a straight line. If it ran into anything on the way it would collide, unlike teleportation that allowed you to directly appear somewhere else. But, when it dashed in a straight line like this, the evil strength
would also completely erupt, and in this linear attack its attack would be twice as strong. Therefore, in some sense this ability was even scarier than teleportation. The Dark Devilgod Tiger used this ability to arrive above Tang San, the Devilgod Hook swinging down to finish Tang San.
From the start of the attack until this final attack, the Dark Devilgod Tiger never had to use the support of any great energy. But its accurate planning, exquisite creation of the opportunity, absolutely wasn’t inferior to any outstanding control type spirit master.
But, the Dark Devilgod Tiger equally faced a peak control type spirit master. Would Tang San be so easily finished?
The Dark Devilgod Tiger also didn’t notice that at the same time as Tang San’s Orca Broken Teeth Chop hit nothing, a faint smile had already appeared at the corner of his mouth. His eighth spirit ring was quietly released under cover of that dust and thunder explosion.
Just as the Dark Devilgod Tiger’s Devilgod Hook was about to hit the top of Tang San’s head, suddenly Tang San’s dash came to a sudden stop, a faint red light halo floating up. The Dark Devilgod Tiger instantly turned rigid.
Blue Silver Orca Devil’s Absorption, enforced three second stun. Tang San’s Blue Silver Emperor eighth spirit ability.
I don’t fear your attack. As long as you attack, there will be a gap. Tang San fired this Blue Silver Orca Devil’s Absorption in all directions. Even though he couldn’t find the Dark Devilgod Tiger’s location, this all out attack immediately took effect. At the same time it also allowed Tang San to directly find the Dark Devilgod Tiger’s location.
Turning horizontally in midair, the Seagod Trident struck like a whip, the one hundred eight thousand jin weight stiffly smashing the Dark Devilgod Tiger’s body.
But, in the split second the Seagod Trident hit the Dark Devilgod Tiger, the smile on Tang San’s face suddenly froze. With the weight of the Seagod Trident it seemed to him that this attack would definitely smash away the Dark Devilgod Tiger, seriously injuring it. Next was his infinite control and powerful attack, constantly controlling this powerful spirit beast to death.
However, when the Seagod Trident ruthlessly struck the Dark Devilgod Tiger, Tang San immediately felt an extremely cold stream pass through the Seagod Trident, making him shiver. The Mysterious Heaven Skill was forcibly suppressed, and an aura filled with evil pulled at the blood and energy within his body, as if tearing it out. If not for the Seagod Trident itself digesting a majority of the energy, and the tenacity of his body, this evil chill would have seriously injured him.
What Tang San was even less able to comprehend was that the Dark Devilgod Tiger wasn’t smashed away, the infallible Seagod Trident was actually knocked back. Suffering the influence of the evil surge, Tang San’s Blue Silver Emperor right leg bone’s flying ability was forcibly interrupted, and he fell five meters straight down before he could reactivate the flying ability and catch his balance. At the same time he raised his head to look up. He didn’t understand how this Dark Devilgod Tiger could actually block his Seagod Trident.
As he raised his head to observe the circumstances above he suddenly realized. The Dark Devilgod Tiger’s long tail swung down, and the Devilgod Hook had turned a transparent grey, a grey light barrier completely sheltering it inside. Only this light barrier was already showing numerous cracks after the strike from the Seagod Trident. It was just turning into specks of grey light that disappeared into the void with cracking sounds.
The Dark Devilgod Tiger also reacted extremely quickly. As it saw the red halo of the Blue Silver Orca Devil’s Absorption appear, it immediately became aware of the danger. Its sharp senses made it immediately release its defensive ability, and the Devilgod Hook that was originally attacking instantly produced a powerful grey surge to protect it. This was the Dark Devilgod Tiger’s strongest defensive ability, called Devilgod Protection. Instantly relying on the Devilgod’s aura to protect itself. Its defensive effect could even match Xiao Wu’s absolute defense. Only its limit was a bit lower than the absolute defense. But it could protect it for longer, and also didn’t influence its movements.
Unfortunately, what its Devilgod Protection met was the Seagod Trident infused with Seagod’s Light. One hundred eight thousand jin weight plus the Seagod Trident’s characteristics of devil destruction and defense breaking. Even though the Devilgod Protection blocked this strike, it also shattered.
Discovering that the opponent used a peculiar ability to block its Seagod Trident, and not the strength of its body, Tang San immediately relaxed. Right now the Blue Silver Orca Devil’s Absorption’s three second limit was up, and the Dark Devilgod Tiger had clearly felt intense danger from Tang San’s previous attack. Roaring, it finally gave up on probing. Intense grey radiance condensed into countless arrows that shot from the sky, straight towards Tang San.
Even if that seemed like a wind attribute attack, it in fact contained surging evil energy. Even the Seagod’s Light wasn’t able to remove this evil influence, that showed how powerful it was. With the previous exchange in mind, Tang San of course wouldn’t give the Dark Devilgod Tiger any chance.
The Seagod Trident returned to his right hand, rings of golden light unfolding in the air. No longer holding back, Tang San finally used the Golden Thirteen Halberds.
The grey energy arrows came pouring into the golden rings and immediately disappeared without a trace. The Dark Devilgod Tiger after all wasn’t the true Devilgod. In front of the full use of the Golden Thirteen Halberds, its attacks were perfectly blocked by the Unfixed Storm. Each ring of light brought away large numbers of energy arrows, and the golden rings themselves drifted towards the Dark Devilgod Tiger. They didn’t fly straight towards it to catch it, but rather flew out to densely surround it in the air. It seemed like Tang San’s attacks left and right were completely ineffective, but those golden rings crowded tightly around the Dark Devilgod Tiger.
Roar—— The Dark Devilgod Tiger was finally in an enormous crisis. It finally discovered that the strength of this human seemed to be far beyond what it could handle. The feeling those golden rings gave made it tremble. Clearly, being enveloped by these golden rings absolutely wasn’t a good thing.
At this moment, the Dark Devilgod Tiger erupted with formidable strength. The Devilgod Hook on its back abruptly slashed, and rings of distortion rippled around it, forcefully breaking Tang San’s mental strength targeting. At the same time, the gray energy it radiated turned into gray light. Instantly flourishing, it covered everything within several hundred meters, enveloping it and Tang San.
What was this? The corners of Tang San’s mouth stretched. After sensing the threat from the Unfixed Storm, the Dark Devilgod Tiger finally brought out its domain.
The golden rings of Unfixed Storm vanished. It didn’t have a hundred percent success rate, and the Dark Devilgod Tiger’s disturbance made it disappear. Only, even so, it still delayed the Dark Devilgod Tiger.
Tang San flashed forward. Right hand rising, the Dark Devilgod Tiger’s enormous body suddenly sank, careening straight towards the ground. Doing its utmost to flap its wings made it stabilize in midair, but the tremendous gravity still slowed it even more.
The Seagod Trident sparkled with golden light in Tang San’s right hand, and as he spun, the Golden Thirteen Tridents’ second skill, Millennial Space, was used. A wide expanse of golden clouds gathered in the sky, completely blocking the Dark Devilgod Tiger’s gray domain outside, basically not giving it the chance to encroach. And at the same time, Tang San once again released a white ring of light. The white light changed in the wind, instantly turning red, joining in the Millennial Space. The Deathgod Domain.
Roar—— The Dark Devilgod Tiger’s roars suddenly grew even more intense, sheets of grey light condensing into a sphere around it, facing Tang San’s attack. This was also one of the Dark Devilgod Tiger’s one hundred percent formidable abilities, called Dark Devilgod Thunder. Fusing its devil power and evil power into one, and then instantly exploding in terrifying might. It
was an wind, thunder and evil attributed area attack.
Boomboomboomboomboomboomboomboomboom—— Like rolling thunder, explosions reverberated in the depths of the Star Dou Great Forest. Terrifying explosions ruined large amounts of plants around. Fortunately any nearby spirit beasts were already scared off by the Dark Devilgod Tiger’s presence, and there were no suffering bystanders.
Tang San floated motionless in the air. On the other side, the Dark Devilgod Tiger was already blasted away, knocking down countless large trees. A layer of faint golden lightning constantly echoed with smattering cracks beneath it. Clearly, it had suffered a considerable loss in the confrontation.
In the end, it was still a chip below Tang San in terms of cultivation. Even with exceptional talent, it still couldn’t block Tang San’s divine abilities. Under the bombardment of Millennial Space, not only was the Dark Devilgod Lightning completely blocked, not even a trace of evil energy could strike Tang San. At the same time, its body suffered intense shocks, its body invaded by the divine aura of the Millennial Space. That golden lightning was the peculiar energy of divine aura mixed with its own thunder attribute, still constantly assailing it.
Large mouthfuls of grey liquid was spit from the Dark Devilgod Tiger’s mouth. Its blood red eyes seemed a bit dull. Crawling away, it constantly panted, and with each breath it would bleed from all apertures of its face.
Tang San changed the Seagod Trident to his left hand, slowly raising his right hand, straight towards the Dark Devilgod Tiger. Intense pressure suddenly soared from his arm, and fine dragon scales appeared from below his skin. Muscles collided at high rates, his fingertips turning into sharp talons, the signs of dragon transformation.
