Facing the Dragon Soul Clone's attack, the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger, while resisting the Nine Bend Vine Dragon, forcefully swung its tail-mounted Evil God Hook.
Ding~
The tip of the Evil God Hook collided with the tip of the Dragon Claw, producing a crisp sound like metal striking metal.
Two vastly different lightning powers erupted from the collision point between the Evil God Hook's tip and the Dragon Claw's tip.
The bluish-purple lightning carried by the Dragon Soul Clone's dragon claw was filled with pure destructive aura, while the pure black lightning used by the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger was imbued with dark and evil energy.
The collision of these two lightning powers generated a massive explosive force, allowing the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger to quickly retreat.
During its retreat, a flash of red light flickered in the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's eyes, and its enormous Evil God Wings on its back unfolded and flapped fiercely in the air.
Instantly, countless black lights surged from the Evil God Wings, transforming into dozens of black blades, about a foot long, and attacking Lin Rong's position at extreme speed.
"It's that move!" Seeing this, Lin Rong's mind flashed back to it.
In the original work, the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger had used this move on Tang San. It was a Spirit Skill that combined wind and evil attributes, possessing both the powerful cutting force of wind and the formidable corrosive property of evil.
The Dark Demon Evil God Tiger had once used this move to break through Tang San's Spider Web Restraint, which had a guaranteed lifespan of over fifty thousand years and was used by the Blue Silver Emperor Martial Soul.
"Cutting and corrosion, I can't take it head-on!"
Lin Rong's second Spirit Ring flickered, and his second Spirit Skill, Green Leaf Mark, was activated. Immediately after the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger launched this Spirit Skill, he and two Nine Bend Vine Dragons vanished from their positions, evading the attack.
Simultaneously, the spatial teleportation affected three targets. The skill's percentage-based Soul Power consumption instantly reduced Lin Rong's Soul Power by thirty percent.
However, this was a primeval forest, filled with ancient trees. Continuous life force was drawn from these ancient trees, and after being transformed by the Vine Dragon Domain, Lin Rong's consumed Soul Power was rapidly restored.
On the other side, the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger landed after retreating. Its right front claw suddenly struck the ground, and a black light shot out in a straight line, hugging the ground, heading directly for where Lin Rong had appeared.
In the forest, wherever the black light passed, all the plants were completely corroded by the power of darkness and evil.
The Dark Demon Evil God Tiger itself possessed spatial attributes, allowing it to sense changes in spatial fluctuations. Therefore, this move was a predictive strike launched in advance based on the location of the spatial fluctuations.
Almost the instant Lin Rong appeared at the teleportation destination, the black light attack reached below his feet.
It was too late to activate spatial teleportation again, so Lin Rong had no choice but to face the attack head-on.
Two Nine Bend Vine Dragons coiled around him, condensing a sky-blue energy shield.
"No, I remember this attack..."
As Lin Rong recalled something, the black light attack exploded at a single point just before hitting the energy shield.
The massive wind pressure and residual energy from the explosion stirred up dust and countless plant fragments in the forest.
A magnetic field formed by a vast amount of evil energy temporarily disrupted Lin Rong's mental detection.
However, this magnetic field could only disrupt mental detection; the Life Sense granted by the Nine Bend Vine Dragons was unaffected.
The Dark Demon Evil God Tiger was unaware that Lin Rong possessed this ability. It assumed that the opponent, having lost mental detection, had temporarily lost lock on its position.
The Evil God Wings vibrated, and the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger soared into the air. It then activated its charge skill, appearing directly above Lin Rong with a speed comparable to instant movement.
Charge was a special skill of the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger. Its speed was comparable to instant movement, but it could only charge in a straight line. If it encountered an obstruction mid-flight and collided, it couldn't directly teleport to another location like instant movement.
However, its evil power could erupt fully during the charge. When attacking along this straight line, the attack's power would be twice its normal strength.
The Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's massive body silently hovered above Lin Rong, its aura concealed by the power of darkness and spatial attributes.
The enormous Evil God Hook on its tail swung silently, its tip imbued with the cutting power of the wind attribute. The hook, emitting no energy fluctuations, aimed at the back of Lin Rong's head and stabbed fiercely.
With the Life Sense ability, the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's position was always within Lin Rong's range of detection.
Facing the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's killing blow, Lin Rong's second Spirit Ring flickered, and he once again used his second Spirit Skill, Green Leaf Mark.
Ever since the battle began, when the banyan roots and vines entangled the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger, Lin Rong had already marked it with a Green Leaf Mark.
At this moment, Lin Rong activated the Green Leaf Marks on the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger and himself. Spatial Swap was activated, attempting to exchange positions with the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger, making it taste its own attack with the Evil God Hook.
The strength of the man and the beast was roughly equal. Under normal circumstances, Spatial Swap would not fail.
But the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger was different. It possessed spatial attributes and time attributes itself.
Although this sudden Spatial Swap caught it slightly off guard, it managed to forcefully pause the Evil God Hook's attack through the formidable power of its time and spatial attributes, even as it was being swapped.
Ultimately, after being spatially swapped, the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger appeared in Lin Rong's original position in a prone posture. Its long scorpion tail curled upwards, and the sharp tip of the Evil God Hook came to a halt a mere centimeter above the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's heart.
Lin Rong appeared in the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's previous position. Seizing this opportunity, he aimed at the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's vital spot and hurled the Emperor Sacred Spear in his hand downwards.
Concurrently, a long dragon's roar echoed.
Evil-Breaking Dragon's Roar, a Spirit Skill accompanying its innate domain, instantly dispelled all negative effects on targets within range and inflicted soul vibration and mental impact on designated targets.
However, the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger reacted extremely quickly. The moment the dragon's roar sounded, it activated its strongest defensive skill: Evil God's Protection.
In an instant, its tail-mounted Evil God Hook turned gray and transparent, and the Evil God aura erupted, forming a gray energy shield that completely enveloped its form.
This was a top-tier Spirit Skill whose defensive effect was comparable to Invincible Golden Body. Although its defensive limit was slightly lower than Invincible Golden Body, its defensive duration was very short, and it did not restrict its own actions.
After unleashing this skill, the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger suffered the soul vibration and mental impact of the Evil-Breaking Dragon's Roar, and the tip of the Emperor Sacred Spear also struck the gray energy shield.
The Emperor Sacred Spear was not the Sea God's Trident, nor was Lin Rong's current strength comparable to Tang San's at level ninety in the original work. Therefore, the spear tip did not shatter the defense of Evil God's Protection.
However, the immense force still slammed the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger, protected by Evil God's Protection, into the ground, creating a deep pit.
