Chapter Fifty-Four: Soul-Devouring Shadow Tiger

  ……

  That lightning speed was extremely fast, Lei Dong had just made a slight gesture, it had already drawn a large arc in the sky, shooting towards Lei Dong's direction, and in just over ten breaths of time, it had floated to his face.

  All that could be seen was a dart-shaped magic tool emitting a faint green glow, with an unusual shape. On the dart stood a tall and slender woman with a handsome appearance. With her hands behind her back, her posture slightly rose and fell as she stepped on the dart, after dispersing her protective true energy, her sleeves fluttered in the wind, truly looking elegant and refined, like a celestial being. However, it was unclear whether or not she had cultivated the Yin Xiao Great Method, but her original ethereal and otherworldly temperament gradually became somewhat cold.

  Fortunately, when facing Leidong, the cold aura dissipated a lot. She saw that her apricot eyes seemed to smile but not smile, and she was studying Leidong: "Lei Shidi, you have a hidden killer move, and there is a ghost soldier lurking beside you. Are you treating your master sister as a bandit?"

  Lei Dong hastily put away the Thunder and Dark Shadow Ghosts, awkwardly smiled and cupped his hands: "Lei Dong has seen Senior Sister Ding, just now I didn't know it was Senior Sister's escape light, please forgive me, Senior Sister. This flying dart of yours is quite good, should be a high-quality flying artifact?" After speaking, he revealed an envious expression on his face, attempting to change the subject.

  Ding Wanyan heard the words and floated down to his front, her slender hand grasped it, and the dark green flying needle seemed to come alive, flying agilely in front of Lei Dong. With a refreshing tone, she said: "This artifact is called Green Cloud Needle, I just happened to obtain it recently, and only slightly refined it, its speed is quite good. If you like it, Junior Brother, take it and use it."

  Lei Dong was sweating profusely, originally just wanting to slightly change the subject, so as not to get entangled in the dark and sinister matters of the Thunderclap. Who would have thought that this extremely valuable top-grade flying artifact, she wouldn't say another word and wanted to give it to him directly. Lei Dong although also coveted the Green Cloud Dart, but where would he have the nerve to really want Ding Yuanyan's ride, hastily blushing and declining said: "Thank you elder sister for your kind intentions, what use does a big man like me have for a dart? Moreover, I already have the Evil Spirit Banner." As for this Evil Spirit Banner, Old Ancestor found it very difficult to change its nature too much. However, not long after Lei Dong left the sect, after fighting a battle of life and death, Old Ancestor used the excuse to bestow the Evil Spirit Banner upon him. To outsiders, he declared that it was personally refined by Old Ancestor himself.

  Saying that, Lei Dong also summoned the evil spirit banner, a large mass of black fog-like appearance, sometimes transforming into a few ferocious ghost faces as if trying to break free, emitting painful moans and grievances that shook the sky. It was terrifying to behold, and chilling to hear. At present, the evil spirit banner might be slightly inferior to Ding Yuanyan's Green Cloud Dart in terms of speed.

  However, as Lei Dong's cultivation increases, and he refines some powerful living souls inside, it will become even stronger. In short, the Evil Spirit Flag is a flying magical tool that can follow him for a very long time.

  Although Ding Yuanyan was a member of the Yin Evil Sect's Wan Gui Ku, she had come into contact with many fierce ghosts and vengeful spirits, but some still made her heart skip a beat. However, she also knew that this evil spirit banner was more valuable than the Green Cloud Dart, so she didn't bother to be polite to Lei Dong anymore. She put away the Green Cloud Dart: "Junior Brother, please hurry up and put it away too. The aura is overwhelming, with wailing spirits and howling ghosts. Listening to it makes my heart anxious."

  "Shi Jie, you should listen more carefully. Otherwise, next time you encounter an opponent using the Evil Ghost Flag, you might be at a disadvantage." Lei Dong refused to put away the Evil Ghost Flag and instead moved it closer to Ding Yuanyan's body. He said seriously: "This Evil Ghost Flag has this kind of effect. Once it is fully deployed, it will make people's hearts cold and their souls tremble, causing their whole body to become numb. However, the best way to deal with it is to sleep with it for a period of time." Lei Dong knew that this was not because Ding Yuanyan was timid, but because the Evil Ghost Flag had a frightening effect on enemies. Those resentful and vengeful spirits, once condensed and impacted, would greatly shock people's souls. This was also one of the strong points of the Evil Ghost Flag that distinguished it from other flying artifacts.

  Ding Wanyan's face turned red with anger, and she suddenly had the urge to slap her detestable younger brother to death. Sleep with it? How could he come up with such a ridiculous idea...

  Lei Dong's words made Ting Yuanyan's eyes turn cold, and she also felt that she had misspoken. She laughed and tried to change the subject. However, from a distance on her left, a powerful force suddenly burst out, creating a shockwave.

  The two of them simultaneously turned their heads to the side, and immediately afterwards, another series of violent shockwaves erupted, only this time without the same domineering aura as the first. They exchanged a glance, and in each other's eyes, they revealed somewhat solemn expressions. Although they hadn't personally witnessed it, they could sense that the two parties currently clashing seemed to be evenly matched.

  "Hmmph!"

  Far away, a faint sound of an angry tiger's roar is transmitted. Looking at it, it seems that someone is fighting against a very strong tiger-like monster.

  "Sister, anyway, it's within our Ghost Cavern territory, let's go take a look." Lei Dong's heart skipped a beat. This was near the Yin Wind Gorge, where ordinary demonic beasts wouldn't usually approach. Now with that tiger's roar, could it be possible that it's the relatively rare and valuable demonic beast, Soul-Devouring Shadow Tiger?

  "Alright, let's go take a look." Ding Yuanyan waved her hand and summoned the Green Cloud Dart, stepping onto it lightly before speeding off in that direction.

  Lei Dong hastily jumped onto the eerie and terrifying ghostly banner, which exploded into flight. The ghostly banner, suspended in mid-air, seemed like a dark mist that enveloped Lei Dong within it. After a few breaths of time, he caught up to Ding Yuanyan, who had slowed down her speed to wait for him.

  One green and one black, two rays of light traversed the sky side by side, rushing towards the battlefield with an extraordinary aura. Originally, Lei Dong wanted to hide his tracks and see if there were any opportunities to take advantage of. However, looking at Shifu's majestic appearance as she led the way on horseback, he could only follow suit. After all, this was their own territory, and being cautious wouldn't be a bad thing, lest it reach Laozu's ears and invite a scolding.

  In just over a hundred breaths of time, the two had already arrived and hovered in mid-air. The scene of the battle below also fell into the eyes of the two.

  ……

  Baili Yun was very depressed, staring at this twelve-layered Lianqi pregnant Soul-Devouring Shadow Tiger for more than half a year. However, this shadow tiger was also extremely cunning, especially when it was about to give birth, hiding and escaping, almost disappearing from his control several times. Finally, it managed to run out of thousands of miles, into the territory of Wangu Ghost Cave. This was still okay, but after it gave birth, he only needed to get rid of it, and then he could obtain a young Shadow Tiger, which was the most valuable thing.

  Unfortunately, the newly produced Bloodthirsty Shadow Tiger was still extremely ferocious and resisted violently, causing a huge commotion. Just as he was about to make a fortune, the most frustrating thing happened - two swift and powerful flashes of light, one green and one black, flew in from afar, clearly not ordinary people.

  When he finally saw the two people suspended in mid-air clearly, Baili Yun's attention was divided again. The woman with a noble demeanor and beautiful appearance, who was driving a green, arrow-shaped flying device, turned out to be Ding Xiang, whom he had met before. Since Ding Xiang joined the Wan Gui Kuang sect, she had shown incredible talent and speed in her cultivation from the very beginning, even surpassing Dongfang Xiang, and suppressing Baili Yun's dominance.

  No matter how proud Bai Li Yun was, she didn't think she could overpower Ding Wan Yan in this situation. Moreover, she wasn't alone. The other person, who seemed to be a man, was shrouded in a layer of dark mist that obscured his appearance and cultivation. However, Wan Li Yun knew that this person was no ordinary individual. Someone who could use the Evil Spirit Flag couldn't be ignored.

  No matter how gloomy he is on this side. But Lei Dong's face lit up with joy: "Master sister, it's indeed the Soul-Devouring Shadow Tiger, today we've got Master sister's blessing, our luck isn't bad, it's only right that we make a small fortune."

  Ding Wanyan is both amusing and infuriating, this Lei Shidi really likes to stir up trouble. Clearly someone else discovered the Soul-Devouring Shadow Tiger and was still fighting it, yet he already considers it his own property. Unable to help but glare at him coldly: "The person below is called Baili Yun, among all the disciples of the same generation, his innate talent ranks second, and his cultivation progress ranks third. Now he has already reached the tenth layer of Qi Refining, and has received many precious artifacts as rewards, why are you competing with him?"

  "Isn't there still a senior sister?" Lei Dong started flattering: "Senior sister, you are the second-ranked super expert in cultivation progress. What's a trivial matter like Bai Li Yun? Moreover, this is our territory of Wan Gui Ku, and he dares to come to our territory to steal things, what kind of thing is that?"

  Loudly and clearly speaking with words, completely unaware, the ghost son was also similar to him in tone and logic back then.
