Douluo Continent: Awakening the Original Martial Soul at the Start.

Chapter 96 Fierce Battle

Qian Renxue also sensed an extremely evil aura permeating the air. Instinctively, her Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul activated, and she opened her Angel Domain. Instantly, a circle of golden light spread out to a radius of a thousand meters, isolating the gray aura of death.

"Elder She, Elder Ci, this battle is left to Xue'er and me. Unless we face a life-or-death crisis, neither of you should make a move!"

Li Fei felt that the reason why Dark Demon Xie Shenghu did not appear was because of She Long and Porcupine. Otherwise, seeing Qian Renxue's holy attributes, he probably would have rushed out long ago.

"This..." She Long and Citun looked at Qian Renxue with troubled expressions.

"Uncle She, you two go and keep watch. Leave the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger to me and Li Fei!" Qian Renxue commanded She Longren as the Angelic Holy Sword appeared in her hand. As a descendant of the Angelic lineage, she was born with the mission of slaying evil, and the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger was also among them. The powerful instinct brought by her Martial Soul made her eager to fight the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger.

"Alright then, young master, be careful!" She Long nodded, and with a slight push of his feet, he and the porcupine jumped a hundred meters away to guard.

"Whoosh!"

Just as She Long and his companion left, a whooshing sound came from behind a withered tree. A huge black streak of light shot out from behind it and instantly arrived above Qian Renxue.

"Young Master..." Upon seeing this, She Long and the porcupine instantly activated their martial spirits and tried to rescue him by circulating their soul power, but one person was faster than the two.

With a powerful stomp of his feet, Li Fei propelled himself above Qian Renxue, the air crackling and booming. His fist condensed with soul power and blood energy, and with a single punch, the air vibrated, creating ripples that transformed into a powerful shockwave.

Along with the shockwave, Li Fei's fist struck the massive black shadow directly. With a loud "bang," the shadow was blasted dozens of meters away, flipped in the air, and landed steadily on the ground.

"So this is the Dark Demon God Tiger! No wonder it possesses the potential to become a god!"

The dark figure was none other than the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger. As it landed, it revealed its full form: a giant tiger with a pure black body, over eight meters long, its muscles bulging without a single blemish. Its red eyes were filled with a sinister aura, and the barbs on its tail made a series of whistling sounds as it swung its tail.

A sense of shock rose in Li Fei's heart. He had long known that the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger was powerful, but he never expected it to be so strong when he actually saw it. The extremely evil aura of death was truly chilling, and his body trembled slightly.

This was an expression of excitement. With the ability to independently cultivate one's inner core, his inner strength was immense. In just a moment, he dispelled all his fear, leaving only pure fighting spirit. An incomparably domineering aura rose up, revealing Li Fei's invincible mentality.

Along with his rising aura, Li Fei also unleashed his five black spirit rings. Except for the passive spirit ring of the first spirit ring, he activated all the remaining spirit skills.

"Come on! Dark Demon God Tiger, let me see your strength!"

With a surge of fighting spirit, Li Fei charged straight at the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger like a cannonball.

"Fourth Soul Skill - Angelic Sunburst!"

Qian Renxue reacted quickly. With a flap of her wings, she flew ten meters into the air, raised the Angelic Holy Sword, and holy flames condensed between the blades, turning into a fireball, just like the sun hanging high in the sky, spreading light and dispelling the darkness. The originally thick gray mist around her instantly became much thinner.

With a swing of the Angelic Holy Sword, a fireball on the blade flew out, growing larger and larger in the air before hurtling towards the Dark Demon God Tiger.

"roar!"

The Dark Demon God Tiger roared to the sky, and invisible sound waves spread out, blocking Li Fei and the fireball for a moment. Then, it twisted its body slightly and instantly appeared next to Li Fei. Its huge tiger claw tore through the void and slammed down.

"Good timing! Ever since I achieved the Core Formation, I've been eager to test my current strength!"

"Zhenyue - Shattered Rocks!"

Li Fei was filled with excitement. He swung his arm in a wide arc, transforming his soul power into earth-attribute energy, mixed with broken energy, and punched down at the tiger claw that was as big as a millstone.

"Bang!"

The moment their fists and claws clashed, the enormous impact blew away all the surrounding withered trees and bones, and also blocked Qian Renxue's huge fireball from reaching them.

"This is Li Fei's power now, it's truly formidable! He can actually confront such a terrifying soul beast head-on!"

Qian Renxue watched the battle between the man and the tiger with a serious expression, her heart filled with shock.

Li Fei's inner strength surged forth, transforming into a massive impact that sent the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's enormous claw flying, along with its massive body, which was also lifted into the air.

The Dark Demon God Tiger in the air revealed a look of surprise in its originally cold eyes. You should know that its strength is no less than that of the Titan Giant Ape, the king of the forest. This little man in front of it was able to deflect its power and send it flying with the remaining force.

"A great opportunity!"

Qian Renxue, suspended in mid-air, was overjoyed. She turned her sword, instantly changing the direction of the enormous fireball. At the same time, Qian Renxue's figure spun around, drawing a graceful arc in the air, and followed the fireball as it charged towards the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger.

A hint of seriousness flashed in the eyes of the Dark Demon God Tiger. It opened its mouth and dozens of dark red light blades shot out, directly cutting the huge fireball into pieces. The power remained undiminished as it continued to slash towards Qian Renxue.

"Clang! Clang! Clang!..."

Qian Renxue swiftly wielded the Angelic Holy Sword, deflecting all the light blades in front of her. At the same moment, the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger rode the wind, with swirling, high-speed distorted ripples appearing around its body. Its figure blurred into afterimages as it reached the open ground in the distance, where it let out a soft roar at Li Fei and Qian Renxue.

"The speed at which the domain was activated was so fast, I almost couldn't keep up!"

Li Fei's eyes were filled with solemnity. This speed was still under the suppression of Qian Renxue's Angel Domain. If there were no suppression, the speed would probably be even faster.

"I must create my own domain!"

At this moment, Li Fei's longing for the field grew even stronger.

"Xue'er, you focus on maintaining the Angelic Domain for now; leave the direct confrontation to me!"

Seeing the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger constantly pacing ahead, searching for weaknesses in himself and Qian Renxue, Li Fei turned to Qian Renxue and gave her some instructions. Then, he assumed an attack stance, focusing on dealing with the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's attacks.

"Okay, then be careful!"

Seeing that the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's domain was still expanding despite her suppression, Qian Renxue could no longer spare any time for auxiliary attacks and began to focus on suppressing the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's domain.

Since ancient times, evil has never triumphed over good, but it also depends on what kind of good and evil it is. If evil is strong enough, it can also suppress good. Compared to the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger, Qian Renxue is still somewhat inferior. If it weren't for the attribute advantage, she probably wouldn't have lasted more than a few moves.

Li Fei understood that with the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's intelligence, it would definitely try to defeat Qian Renxue, who could suppress it, first. Therefore, in addition to preventing its escape, he needed to protect Qian Renxue.

"roar!"

With a roar, the Dark Demon God Tiger was surrounded by gray energy that gathered and transformed into gray electric balls, which crackled and emitted terrifying energy fluctuations.

Electric orbs shot towards Li Fei from all directions like a shower of flowers, while at the same time, the figure of the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger vanished instantly and appeared in front of Qian Renxue.

"You think you can restrict my movements with Dark Demon Thunder and prevent me from supporting Xue'er?! Dark Demon Evil Tiger, you underestimate me!"

Li Fei's expression was serious, but the fighting spirit in his eyes only intensified. Four blood-red soul rings instantly appeared and lit up, their crimson light staining the area around him crimson. A muffled thunderous roar, like that of a ferocious tiger, emanated from within his body.

At the same time, the soul power within his body transformed into earth attribute, covering his body with a layer of soul power aura. Ignoring the dark demonic lightning, he charged towards the dark demonic tiger at twice the speed of before.

The dark demonic lightning struck Li Fei, and the electric current instantly spread throughout his body, constantly stimulating and numbing him.

"Um!"

Feeling the tearing pain all over his body, Li Fei gritted his teeth, his lips twitching. He knew he had underestimated this move, but fortunately it was still within his tolerance range. He instantly transformed the Vajra Indestructible Soul Skill into a fire attribute, while his soul power circulated continuously within his body, enhancing the effect of the Holy Flame Transformation in accelerating blood flow. He used the trace of holy attribute brought by the fifth soul skill to continuously remove the evil lightning from his body.

As the Dark Demon God Tiger approached, Qian Renxue's expression changed drastically. She could no longer care about Li Fei's situation, and her black soul ring lit up.

"Third Soul Skill: Angelic Protection!"

The six-winged angel's six golden wings stretched out and bent, enveloping Qian Renxue completely, forming a golden protective shield.

The Dark Demon God Tiger slammed down with its palm, and lightning exploded. The enormous force of the impact caused the golden protective shield to crack and almost shatter. However, the powerful impact still sent Qian Renxue flying dozens of meters away.

At this moment, Li Fei's figure also arrived in front of the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger. His fist was like a cannonball, shattering the surrounding air. Soul power and dark force erupted at the same time, causing the surrounding air to turn into mercury and lead.

"Red Tiger Roar!"

A tiger's roar rang out, and a huge crimson tiger burning with holy flames appeared, opening its blood-red maw to bite at the Dark Demon God Tiger.

Li Fei is fighting tiger with tiger!

The Dark Demon God Tiger in the air curled up a wicked smile, full of mockery.

"Oh no, we've been tricked!"

Upon seeing this, Li Fei's expression instantly turned solemn. The evil god hook on the tail of the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger suddenly erupted with a strong gray aura that covered its entire body, rendering the attack of the five-meter-tall Holy Crimson Tiger transformed from the Crimson Tiger Roar completely useless.

His attacks contained only a trace of divine attribute, which was completely ineffective against the terrifying evil power of the Dark Demon God Tiger, and could only help him protect himself.

The moment the Crimson Tiger disappeared, the gray aura surrounding the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger vanished immediately. However, the Evil God Hook stood straight like a long thorn and pierced out instantly. The protective qi on Li Fei's body was instantly broken, and then a three-meter black hole appeared. The terrifying suction force moved Li Fei's figure towards the black hole.

Li Fei's face was grim. He remembered the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's move: once sucked into a black hole, one would enter a juvenile state, greatly weakening one's strength and leaving one at the mercy of the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger!

"A thousand-pound weight!"

By concentrating his inner soul power and blood energy without moving, Li Fei's weight and defensive strength instantly increased, allowing him to stabilize his posture.

"Fifth Soul Skill: The Sacred Sword!"

"The second soul skill: Sunshine Slash!"

Qian Renxue, who was flying backward, steadied herself. The holy aura of the golden Angelic Sword surged, and the sword blade doubled in length. With a single swing, a dazzling, enormous golden sword aura instantly pierced through the black hole in front of Li Fei, destroying it completely.

"Purge: Platinum Halberd!"

Li Fei seized the opportunity instantly, his soul power transforming into metal and circulating at high speed. With a wave of his hand, countless sharp energies condensed into a silver halberd, and he charged forward with force.

Qian Renxue was equally fast, wielding the Holy Sword as she followed Li Fei.

The two then clashed with the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger. Their tacit cooperation left the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger struggling and putting it at a disadvantage for a time.

Not only did She Long and Citun's Martial Soul True Forms not retract, but they became even more solid. Their ninth Soul Rings surrounded their Martial Soul True Forms, with black light flashing constantly, ready to deliver a fatal blow to the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger at any moment.

"Could Li Fei possess twin martial souls? Are those four 100,000-year soul rings?!" She Long was filled with shock, staring intently at the four blood-red soul rings surrounding Li Fei's five black soul rings.

"I don't know, I didn't sense any soul power!" The pufferfish shook its head, and the huge pufferfish also showed surprise in its eyes.

"Young Master and Li Fei are truly terrifying. The Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's strength is comparable to a level 90 Title Douluo. Even if the two of us joined forces, it would be difficult to defeat it within a hundred moves. Yet these two Soul Masters, who are not even Soul Saints, were able to fight against it!" She Long exclaimed in amazement.

"Yes, no wonder the Grand Elder doesn't object to Li Fei and Qian Renxue's relationship!" the porcupine remarked.

……

"Clang! Clang!..."

The platinum halberd and the evil god's hook, the holy sword and the tiger claw clashed continuously, the sound of metal clashing echoing incessantly. The terrifying impact made the already desolate forest even more barren. During the battle, Li Fei's momentum began to grow, and he became more adept at handling the terrifying explosive power of Dan Jin. Each attack he unleashed was much stronger than the last.

At the same time, her understanding of the concept of "transformation of internal energy" became more thorough, and she became more adept at using both the bright and dark forces. Bright force could produce the effect of dark force, and dark force could produce the effect of bright force. As the two forces combined and transformed into countless forces, the terrifying evil god hook of the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger gradually became unbearable. It subconsciously focused more of its energy on Li Fei, greatly reducing the pressure on Qian Renxue, who was originally barely able to withstand the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's attacks.
