At the foot of the mountain, two Blazing Flame Tigers, each over eight to nine zhang in height, stood before their cubs—one dead and one injured—consumed by uncontrollable rage. Their roars of fury echoed for dozens of miles, striking terror into the hearts of many trial participants who had ventured into this area, prompting them to flee hastily.
On the mountainside, the two Azure Scaled Beasts exchanged brief glances, their expressions grave as they gazed down at the scene below. The situation had escalated beyond control! Even if the cubs had been framed by someone to incriminate the couple, the enraged Blazing Flame Tigers would never be open to communication.
“Roar!!!” A deafening roar reverberated through the air.
The nine-zhang-tall Blazing Flame Tiger, its muscles taut, lunged forward in an instant, charging toward the mountainside. The other eight-zhang-tall Blazing Flame Tiger, meanwhile, was tending to its deceased cub and comforting the one with broken bones, its expression etched with agony.
Boom…
As the Blazing Flame Tiger charged upward, the Azure Scaled Beasts naturally could not leave their families unprotected. The two massive creatures immediately engaged in fierce combat once more. Gradually, the other Azure Scaled Beast could no longer stand by and joined the fray to assist. The eight-zhang-tall Blazing Flame Tiger, seeing this, also entered the battle.
Four mid-tier third-stage spiritual beasts, all possessing the power of the mid-Heavenly Gang stage, were locked in combat. The sheer momentum of their battle was unimaginable.
Ye Wushuang stood quietly at a distance of more than ten miles, patiently waiting. This had already become a fight to the death! The moment these four behemoths were about to reach a decisive outcome would be the perfect time for Ye Wushuang to make his move. As for the cunning scheme he had employed, Ye Wushuang felt no guilt whatsoever!
Since the beginning of this world, the beast and human races had been at odds. In his previous life, Ye Wushuang had read in ancient texts that in ancient times, humans, who had not yet discovered the path of cultivation, were at the very bottom of the myriad races and served as food for the beasts. Later, as humans gradually opened up the path of cultivation, developed alchemy, and mastered the art of forging weapons, the beasts gradually became resources for human cultivation. Since ancient times, there had been a cycle of beasts hunting and killing human cultivators, and human cultivators hunting and killing beasts to obtain their cores, bones, and skins.
There was no shame in using such cunning tactics against the beasts. With a thunderous roar, the forest was engulfed in chaos. The towering Blazing Flame Tiger, its red fur enveloped in scorching flames and its spiritual energy surging, clashed with the Azure Scaled Beast, whose deep azure fur shimmered and whirled like a fierce gale. Bloodstains began to appear on the bodies of these two titans, while the two female beasts had long since joined the battlefield, locked in a deadly dance of combat. The surrounding mountains and forests, spanning more than ten miles, had been utterly devastated.
In a sudden moment, the nine-zhang-tall Blazing Flame Tiger caught sight of three young Azure Scaled Beasts tumbling amidst a pile of rubble. With a fierce leap, it bypassed the battling Azure Scaled Beast and lunged directly toward them.
“Whimper…” The sound of furious despair echoed through the air as the Azure Scaled Beast was consumed by rage. But it was too late! The massive Blazing Flame Tiger struck with both claws, crushing two of the young Azure Scaled Beasts to death, and then seized the third one in its jaws, swallowing it whole. The sound of crunching bones filled the air, and blood flowed from the corners of its mouth.
“Uuu…” A prolonged, mournful howl escaped from the Azure Scaled Beast. At this point, both sides were locked in a fight to the death.
Boom… Boom… Boom…
The surrounding forests had long since collapsed. Ye Wushuang had also shifted his hiding spot several times. This relentless battle, a fight to the death, lasted nearly an entire hour. The devastated forest, scarred by the flames and torn by the wind blades, gradually quieted down as the combatants’ energy waned.
The ground was littered with the remnants of the battle—cracks scorched by flames and fragments of stone torn apart by wind blades. The outcome was finally decided. Among the four powerful beasts, only one remained standing.
The nine-zhang-tall Blazing Flame Tiger, its fur no longer glowing with its fiery red luster, was covered in gashes, some so deep that bones were exposed. Beside it, the eight-zhang-tall Blazing Flame Tiger lay dead, its abdomen torn open with its entrails spilled out, clearly beyond saving.
The two Azure Scaled Beasts were also on the ground, one of them split in half, yet still clinging to life. The sole standing Blazing Flame Tiger, seeing its only surviving cub killed in the battle, staggered toward the Azure Scaled Beasts…
Its massive paw, raised with great effort, was about to crush the heads of the two Azure Scaled Beasts. But at that very moment—
Whoosh…
A sound pierced the air as a spiritual blade struck.
With a sickening thud, the Blazing Flame Tiger’s paw was severed, blood gushing out. Its enormous body could no longer support itself and collapsed to the ground.
A human figure stood beside it.
“The final blow is mine to deliver!” Ye Wushuang said with a smile, looking at the fallen Blazing Flame Tiger. “Four mid-tier third-stage spiritual beasts, twenty thousand spirit points—what a profitable haul!”
As he spoke, Ye Wushuang’s palm struck out through the air.
Boom… Boom… Boom…
The other Blazing Flame Tiger and the two Azure Scaled Beasts were killed instantly.
Ye Wushuang knelt beside the sole surviving Blazing Flame Tiger and said with a smile, “Thank you.”
With a final pat, he ended its life. Twenty thousand spirit points were now his!
He stood up, feeling refreshed and invigorated. He now had over one hundred and seventy thousand spirit points. If he continued to hunt third-stage spiritual beasts like this, his spirit points would increase rapidly. For Ye Wushuang, who was well-versed in the habits of spiritual beasts of all ranks, this method was not difficult at all.
“Next, let’s continue…” Ye Wushuang smiled faintly and took a step forward.
At that very moment—
Whoosh…
A piercing sound cut through the air, and an intense, terrifying aura of killing intent surged toward him…
