At the foot of the mountain.
Two Swallowing Flame Tigers, each over twenty feet in stature, stood before their cubs—one dead and one injured— their fury beyond measure. Their roars of rage echoed for miles, striking terror into the hearts of any trial participants who had ventured into the area, prompting them to flee in haste.
Halfway up the mountain, the two Blue-Scaled Beasts exchanged a brief glance, their expressions grave as they looked down. The situation had escalated beyond control. Even if someone had framed the cubs to incite the Swallowing Flame Tigers’ wrath, communication was now impossible.
“ROAR!!!” The deafening roar reverberated through the air.
The twenty-seven-foot-tall Swallowing Flame Tiger, its muscles taut, lunged forward in an instant, charging toward the mountainside. The other, slightly smaller at twenty-four feet, was busy tending to its dead cub and comforting the one with broken bones, its expression one of sheer agony.
BOOM…
As the Swallowing Flame Tiger charged, the Blue-Scaled Beasts had no choice but to protect their family. The two colossal creatures immediately engaged in fierce combat once more. Soon, the other Blue-Scaled Beast, unable to bear the sight any longer, joined the fray. The twenty-four-foot Swallowing Flame Tiger, seeing this, also entered the battle.
Four mid-stage third-rank spiritual beasts, all at the mid-Tiangang Realm level, were locked in combat. The sheer intensity of their battle was unimaginable.
Ye Wushuang stood over ten miles away, calmly waiting. This had become a fight to the death. When the four giants were on the verge of determining a victor, that would be the moment for Ye Wushuang to strike. As for the cunning scheme he had employed, Ye Wushuang felt no guilt whatsoever!
Since the beginning of this world, the relationship between the beast and human races had been one of hostility. In his past 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 prey for the beasts. Later, as humans began to cultivate and developed the arts of alchemy and forging, the beasts gradually became resources for human cultivation. Since ancient times, there had been a cycle of beast hunters killing human cultivators and human cultivators hunting beasts for their cores, bones, and hides.
In this context, employing such cunning tactics against the beasts was not at all despicable.
BOOM…
In the forested mountains, the Swallowing Flame Tiger, its massive body covered in red fur and enveloped in scorching flames, exuded a rolling aura of spiritual energy. The Blue-Scaled Beast, with its deep blue fur, transformed into a fierce wind that howled incessantly. Both creatures were already beginning to show bloodied wounds. The other two female beasts had also joined the battlefield, locked in a deadly struggle.
The surrounding mountains and forests, spanning over ten miles, had already been completely devastated. Suddenly, the twenty-seven-foot Swallowing Flame Tiger caught sight of three Blue-Scaled cubs tumbling among the rubble. With a sudden lunge, it bypassed the battling Blue-Scaled Beast and flew straight toward them.
“Whimper…” The sound of furious growling filled the air as the Blue-Scaled Beast was enraged. But it was too late!
The twenty-seven-foot Swallowing Flame Tiger struck with both paws, crushing two of the Blue-Scaled cubs to death, then seized the third one in its jaws and swallowed it whole. The sound of crunching bones echoed, and blood flowed from the corners of its mouth.
“Uuuu…” A long, mournful wail escaped from the Blue-Scaled Beast. Now, both sides were locked in a fight to the death.
BOOM…
The surrounding forests had long since collapsed. Ye Wushuang had also changed his hiding spot several times. This relentless battle lasted nearly an hour. The devastated forest, with its aura of combat, gradually weakened.
The ground was littered with charred cracks from the flames and powdered debris from wind blades. The outcome of the battle was finally decided. Of the four powerful beasts, only one remained standing.
The twenty-seven-foot Swallowing Flame Tiger, its fur no longer glowing with fiery red, was covered in gashes, with many wounds so severe that bones were exposed. Next to it, the twenty-four-foot Swallowing Flame Tiger lay dead, with a fatal wound through its abdomen, its entrails spilled across the ground. The two Blue-Scaled Beasts were also on the ground, one of them split in half, though still not quite dead.
Surveying the carnage, the lone standing Swallowing Flame Tiger, seeing that its only surviving cub had also been killed by the Blue-Scaled Beasts in the battle, staggered toward the Blue-Scaled couple… Its massive paw, with great difficulty, lifted to smash the heads of the two Blue-Scaled Beasts.
But at that moment.
Whoosh…
A sound pierced the air as a spiritual blade struck.
With a sickening thud.
The Swallowing 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, I’ll deliver it!” Ye Wushuang smiled at the fallen beast, “Four mid-stage third-rank spiritual beasts, twenty thousand spirit points—quite a haul!”
As he spoke, Ye Wushuang’s palm struck through the air.
Thud, thud, thud…
The other Swallowing Flame Tiger and the two Blue-Scaled Beasts were completely slain.
Ye Wushuang bent down and looked at the last Swallowing Flame Tiger, smiling, “Thank you.”
With a final pat, he ended its life.
Twenty thousand spirit points secured!
Ye Wushuang stood up, feeling refreshed.
Over one hundred and seventy thousand spirit points now.
If he continued to hunt third-rank spiritual beasts like this, accumulating spirit points would be quite rapid. For Ye Wushuang, who was well-versed in the habits of various ranks of spiritual beasts, this method was not difficult at all.
“Next, let’s continue…” Ye Wushuang smiled faintly and took a step forward.
At that moment.
Whoosh…
A sound pierced the air, and an intense, terrifying aura of killing intent rushed toward him…
