216: Chapter 216 Sterilization Warning! My brother's about to get neutered!

"Damn it, Brother Ming didn't say anything about fighting a Seventh Stage when we set out!"

Ye Xiao wailed in despair, but his feet did not slow down in the slightest.

"Thunder Flash Instant Step!"

Arcs of lightning exploded across his body as he turned into a bolt of electricity, sprinting at his absolute limit.

Tiger Fiend snorted disdainfully.

"Playing with speed in front of me?"

"Shadow Tiger Step!"

Tiger Fiend transformed into a streak of liquid silver, silently pursuing him along the ground.

Ye Xiao felt the high-speed aura behind him—several times stronger than his own—clinging to him like a shadow, closing the distance to within three meters in an instant, nearly scaring his Soul out of his body.

"Ling'er, Wan'er! Just find a good man and marry him!"

Tiger Fiend's silver claw was just about to strike!

Pfft! Pfft! Pfft! Pfft!

Four dark gold sand nails, each the length of a finger, shot in from the side, precisely piercing through where Tiger Fiend had just been!

They missed.

The sand nails passed through the afterimage and embedded themselves into the wall, dissipating into gold sand the moment they entered the rock, reappearing around Young Master Gu Lingfeng as he crawled out of the rubble.

His face was ashen.

The opponent had dodged all of his sand nails; what kind of monstrous speed was this?

Tiger Fiend didn't even stop, his massive silver body shifting slightly with momentum to evade every attack.

However, the sharp, piercing sensation as those sand nails grazed his fur caused his icy blue pupils to constrict for a split second.

"You fleas are so annoying."

A dignified Eight-Stage Beast Emperor Bloodline, a Late Stage Tiger King, was actually being toyed with time and again!

Tiger Fiend stood still, a trace of brutality flashing in his icy blue pupils.

He flipped his front claw, and without the slightest hesitation, used his claw tip to precisely inject the [Berserk Serum]—flowing with scarlet liquid—into his own jugular artery.

As the serum from the test tube was frantically forced into his bloodstream, Tiger Fiend did not let out an earth-shattering roar like the Mountain Demon.

Instead, his entire body fell into an eerie, deathly silence.

There was no surging Qi and blood.

No Dharma Incarnation covering the sky.

Tiger Fiend's originally three-meter-tall half-beast body, under the catalysis of the Berserk Serum, began to compress in defiance of all logic!

"Crackle, crackle, crackle..."

The muffled sound of restructuring bones emanated from beneath his silver fur, and he completely abandoned his upright human form, dropping to all fours.

His muscle fibers tightened and condensed frantically.

A streamlined skeleton, perfectly adapted for aerodynamics, instantly reshaped itself within the silver light.

Finally, the light dissipated.

What appeared in its place was a silver giant tiger, only five meters long, yet radiating an aura that made one's Soul tremble.

Compared to the mountain-like, twelve-meter-tall Black Demon Ape in the sinkhole on the other side, this silver tiger appeared exceptionally "delicate"!

However, every single one of his silver hairs clung tightly to his skin, transforming into a sharp blade.

He just stood there silently, and the surrounding air was shredded by that invisible, high-speed edge, creating a faint "hissing" sound and forming an absolute vacuum zone.

There was no roar, no declaration.

The silver giant tiger just cast a cold glance at Young Master Gu Lingfeng and the others, his icy blue pupils devoid of any emotional fluctuation.

"Eight-Stage Beast Emperor... Instant Prison Shadowless Tiger... Full Liberation!"

Tiger Fiend's voice no longer held any human quality; a low, bestial language spilled from between his teeth, sounding like grinding metal.

Everyone stared intensely at this Vicious Beast, his body having shrunk in such an eerie manner.

The next instant... not even a sonic boom sounded in the sinkhole.

The silver killing machine before them vanished into thin air without warning.

All that remained in his place was a slowly fading silver afterimage.

"Where did it go?!"

Young Master Gu Lingfeng's hair stood on end, and he slammed his hands onto the ground, piling up an arc-shaped shield of Profound Gold Sand before him, cold sweat instantly soaking his back.

Not far away, Ye Xiao, who had fortunately escaped disaster, was grimacing while leaning against the rock wall.

He coughed up a mouthful of blood, his heart filled with lingering fear.

"Holy crap... did it turn into a little kitty?"

"...I'll allow you to act tough for a little longer, just wait until Brother Ming gives you a sterilization later...!"

Night Crow also closed his eyes.

He pushed his Shadow Perception to its limit.

However, after just one second, he snapped his eyes open, veins bulging on his forehead, cold sweat pouring down.

"No good... it's too fast! I can't even capture the trajectory of the air currents!"

The only one in the entire area who could capture that trace of lethal killing intent was Ye Canglan.

His dark purple pupils spun frantically, and the sensory protuberances on his six remaining spider legs fully expanded, scanning the airflow changes throughout the sinkhole like a high-speed camera array.

Suddenly, his pupils constricted sharply.

"Watch out!"

He roared sternly in the direction of Young Master Gu Lingfeng.

"Huh?"

Young Master Gu Lingfeng's mind went blank.

Hiss...!

In the Void Realm before him, three blinding silver cold rays appeared out of thin air, striking straight for his throat!

Ye Canglan did not hesitate in the slightest.

The remaining dark blue energy spider legs on his back exerted sudden force, and his massive body turned into an afterimage, instantly interposing itself in front of Young Master Gu Lingfeng.

These two were Xiao Mo's life-and-death comrades; they could not die here!

He crossed his two energy spider legs to brace for impact, just about to take the hit...

But those three cold rays shattered directly like a phantom reflection.

Beneath his tattered mask, Ye Canglan's expression changed drastically, and he whipped his head toward the other side.

"A feint to attack in the east while striking in the west!!"

This was actually an afterimage!

The attack on Young Master Gu Lingfeng was merely a lure left behind by extreme speed!

The true killing intent had already descended upon Night Crow's blind spot.

Ye Canglan, disregarding the backlash of Source Energy within his body, forcibly twisted his massive body in mid-air, desperately blocking in front of Night Crow.

Crack!

This time, it was a solid physical collision.

The sound of bones and energy shattering exploded in everyone's ears.

The two energy spider legs that Ye Canglan had desperately braced were snapped at the root by the terrifying claws of the Extreme Shadow Tiger, fragments flying everywhere!

"Pfft..."

Dark blue Source Blood sprayed out.

But before he could calm the surging, roiling Source Energy in his body, an even more horrific killing intent surged from a third direction.

He cast his gaze toward the farthest corner in horror.

"Run!!!"

Three layers!

This assassin's chain of killing moves actually had three layers!

In the corner, Ye Xiao was leaning against the wall, grimacing while rubbing his chest, still cursing this fully-evolved big cat!

The moment Ye Canglan's roar reached his ears, Ye Xiao's mind went "buzz" and exploded.

Run??!

No way, no way...

Just as his brain was frantically issuing commands, the air in front of him rippled slightly, and a chill of extreme cold instantly enveloped his entire body!

His limbs were already frozen stiff; he couldn't even move a single finger.

"Just now, you were the flea who said you wanted to sterilize me?"

Before the words had even faded, three dark blue cold rays, carrying bone-chilling killing intent, swiped with extreme precision right past the base of Ye Xiao's thighs!

"Hiss..."

With the fabric tearing, Ye Xiao felt a sudden, freezing, horrifying chill at his crotch.

Life and death hung by a hair's breadth; he slammed his hands over his crotch with a "slap," and clamped his legs together tightly.

His face flushed red, and he tore his throat open, using every ounce of strength in his life to let out a piercing, miserable scream.

Under extreme terror, his voice cracked into a squawking duck-like sound on the spot:

"Brother Ming!! Help me ahhh!! This damn kitty is really going to snip me!!!"
