Soul Land 5: The Rebirth of Tang San

Chapter 324: Summoning the Dark Infernal Tiger?

Chapter 324: Summoning the Dark Infernal Tiger?

Under the effect of the Spirit Fusion Array, Wu Bingji's cultivation had reached the absolute peak of the ninth order, not just in terms of bloodline power but also spiritual power. This was even with Tang San holding back; otherwise, his spiritual power alone would have been enough to propel Wu Bingji all the way to the peak of the ninth order.

An ice-blue halo suddenly burst forth from Wu Bingji, making the Great Beast Fighting Arena, already filled with the darkness element, cold and unwelcoming as well. The ice element in the air quickly became rich and intense.

Although he was facing five charging tigers, Wu Bingji looked like a war god, and there was not one shred of apprehension on his face.

He raised his right hand, striking out into the void. Ice arrows formed almost instantly in the air and shot toward the Infernal Tigers like lightning.

The ice arrows were silent but incredibly fast.

The five Infernal Tigers naturally noticed the strange changes on the Shrek Squad's side. The power of their domain suddenly converged upon them, merging with them.

When the ice arrows entered the Dark Domain's range, they immediately began to show signs of corrosion. Their speed slowed, and the ice elemental energy decreased.

But the ice arrows exploded at that moment, scattering ice shards everywhere. The powerful explosion caused the black mist in the Dark Domain to surge. The shockwave also significantly slowed down the charge of the five Infernal Tigers.

Wu Bingji clasped his hands, and the ice elemental energy in the air quickly condensed in front of him. An azure ice spear formed almost instantly, engraved with strange patterns and radiating an incredibly cold aura.

Seeing this scene, the audience in the stands held their breath. They had seen a similar ice spear in the previous Shrek Squad battle! The Earth Demon Ox's mighty defense, bolstered by the support of the Blue Fox, had been completely unable to withstand it!

Indeed, it was precisely the spear Wu Bingji condensed when he ignited his bloodline. He wasn’t doing any such thing this time, yet the ice spear had formed almost instantly.

Wu Bingji raised his head, his gaze almost instantly locking onto the ninth-order Infernal Tiger opposite him. Light surged in his blue pupils, with a hint of purple-gold flickering quietly within.

The ninth-order Infernal Tiger instantly felt a hair-raising sensation along its spine and released a low roar. It opened its mouth, spitting out a purple-black light orb made of darkness elemental energy that shot straight toward Wu Bingji. Simultaneously, the other four Infernal Tigers also spat out purple-black orbs. With the support of their domain, the orbs grew larger as they flew, heading straight for Wu Bingji.

Wu Bingji grasped the ice spear he had just formed with his right hand. The ice-blue light around him and the golden patterns beneath him surged violently. At that moment, although he faced an overwhelming dark onslaught, his back was straight and he stood proud.

The five darkness orbs were about to reach him. At that moment, Wu Bingji finally moved, hurling the ice spear like a bolt of lightning!

The ninth-order darkness orb at the front was instantly pierced, and the trajectory of the ice spear shifted. It moved around in a strange pattern, piercing the five darkness orbs, which then all froze in place, only to explode a moment later after the ice spear shot through.

The twisted flight of the ice spear was incredibly skillful. When the last darkness orb was pierced, the ice spear also exploded.

The ninth-order Infernal Tiger was now less than thirty meters from Wu Bingji. Just as it was about to accelerate and pounce, a chilling coldness had already reached it.

It was a strange icicle, about a foot long and very translucent. In fact, it was almost invisible due to its speed. More terrifying was that its aura was completely concealed until it reached the ninth-order Infernal Tiger. Only when it got close could the terrifying aura be felt.

It was so fast that even the ninth-order Infernal Tiger couldn't react in time.

At the critical moment, a layer of purple-black light surged around it. At the same time, it barely shifted its torso, attempting to swipe at the giant icicle with its right arm.

However, the speed of the icicle exceeded its expectations. The icicle pierced into its shoulder with a painful sound. Although it had managed to avoid being pierced through the heart, the Infernal Tiger still felt a chill throughout its body at that moment.

The next moment, it fully mobilized its bloodline power toward its shoulder. However, the ice explosion was inevitable.

Although the icicle melted somewhat under the protective darkness element, which also reinforced the tiger’s defenses, the powerful explosion still caused the right shoulder of the ninth-order Infernal Tiger to burst apart. At the same time, half of its body was frozen, and it fell directly to the ground, rolling forward due to the momentum of the charge.

The power of this spear was astonishing. Although it had failed to kill the ninth-order Infernal Tiger, its second acceleration and strong piercing ability had seriously injured it.

The injury of the ninth-order Infernal Tiger caused a significant collapse in the Dark Domain, and the other four eighth-order Infernal Tigers also gave up on attacking, instead gathering around the ninth-order one.

Wu Bingji remained expressionless and once more grasped the air with his right hand. Another ice spear appeared, quickly transforming under the purified elemental power of his peak-ninth-order state.

This is what it means to master ice! This was Wu Bingji's only thought at the moment.

When the ninth-order Infernal Tiger froze, the audience in the stands was in an uproar.

No one expected the battle to turn out this way. Even those who had previously watched the Shrek Squad's matches couldn't have imagined such a dramatic transformation in just a few days.

This change was genuinely shocking. The previously unseen Spirit Fusion Array disc had directly transformed the Shrek Squad.

For all cultivators, the peak of the ninth order was vastly different from any other level of cultivation. That was because it was just one step away from godhood. It was almost impossible for someone at this level to participate in the Great Beast Fighting Arena because they would be preparing to transcend and become gods. Who would waste their time in the arena?

However, Wu Bingji's state had been elevated to the peak of the ninth order under the effect of the array disc. Although the bloodline of the opposing Infernal Tigers was truly mighty, their leader had only just entered the ninth order. Moreover, Wu Bingji had received instructions regarding cultivation and control of the ice element from a God King. Naturally, the Infernal Tiger had no such privilege.

As the ice spear condensed again, Wu Bingji acted as if he didn't even see the other four eighth-order Infernal Tigers. His focus remained locked on the ninth-order Infernal Tiger. He knew that the victory would be secured if he took down the ninth-order Infernal Tiger. With the Purple Demon Eyes' locking ability, his ice spear couldn't be dodged—at least, the Infernal Tiger couldn't manage it.

The ninth-order Infernal Tiger let out a crazed roar. The sudden injury had triggered its true ferocity.

The Dark Domain surged violently, and black flame-like halos rippled from the five Infernal Tigers. A gigantic black tiger phantom emerged within the domain.

The phantom was fifteen meters long, with shoulder height exceeding seven meters. The enormous black tiger frantically absorbed the dark power from the air to strengthen itself.

This was the Infernal Tiger's trump card and the pinnacle display of its domain power: summoning the Dark Infernal Tiger.
