232: Chapter 232 Bloodthirsty Tiger

"Elder Su, may I ask if there are any restrictions when fighting a Late Stage Tier 4 Yao Beast?" Ye Yisong asked, emboldening himself.

"As long as it is currently on your person, you may use it as you please." Elder Su's right hand was holding two iron beads, rolling them constantly. The surface of the iron beads seemed to have lightning light, and every time they collided, they emitted crackling sounds of electric arcs.

"This Junior is willing." Upon hearing this, Ye Yisong's confidence greatly increased. With two hundred Tier 4 Talismans in his Storage Pouch as a fallback, his life was at least secure, so there was no need to worry about anything else.

"Good, follow me." Elder Su gave a sharp shout and led Ye Yisong towards the first underground level.

The others, led by Elder Wang, entered the first underground level from the other side and went directly to the spectator stands to wait for the upcoming competition.

The first underground level was much more spacious than the upper level, without complex furnishings. In the center was a circular, hollowed-out clearing. Surrounding the center clearing were over a thousand empty seats, and there were eight iron gates around the perimeter, each guarding a direction. The layout was somewhat similar to a stadium from later generations.

Does Yuelai Pavilion actually operate a beast-fighting arena? Or are they researching something? They wouldn't create some kind of monster, would they?

Ye Yisong looked at the clearing below, slightly stunned.

"Greetings, Elder Su. May I ask what instructions you have for coming to the dungeon today?" A Black-robed Deacon on the first underground level saw Elder Su, immediately walked over, and saluted respectfully.

"Bring me a Late Stage Tier 4 Yao Beast from the dungeon at random; I have a use for it," Elder Su ordered indifferently.

"Yes, Elder, please wait a moment." The Black-robed Deacon bowed and walked towards the dungeon personally.

The Black-robed Deacon walked up to a Blood Shadow Leopard that had just entered the Late Stage Tier 4 not long ago and was about to pull it out when a communication talisman in his Storage Pouch trembled slightly.

"Hmm?" The Black-robed Deacon hesitated for a moment but still took out the communication talisman. Although he did not want to participate in the struggle between the two major factions, reality did not allow small characters like them to make choices. If they didn't join, they were enemies.

"Bring that Blood-thirsty Tiger and feed it a Blood-Drinking Pill."

The Black-robed Deacon was silent for a while and sighed helplessly. "I hope you keep your promise and take good care of my wife and children. Otherwise, even if I die, I will not let you off easily."

Why did Elder Ma, the Elder guarding the dungeon, happen to have business and leave today?

And why was he specifically chosen to stand in for Elder Ma?

Everything was too coincidental!

He glanced at the shivering Blood Shadow Leopard and whispered, "Consider yourself lucky." He continued walking deeper until he stopped at the fifth room from the end, then used a special technique to open the cage.

He flicked his finger, and a blood-red Medicinal Pill shot accurately into the mouth of the sickly Blood-thirsty Tiger.

Seeing that the Blood-thirsty Tiger was about to go berserk after swallowing the Medicinal Pill, the Black-robed Deacon immediately used the Seal token to temporarily suppress its bloodlust, then led it out of the cage.

The dim light cast two long shadows, appearing so lonely.

"Elder Su, the Yao Beast has been brought." The Black-robed Deacon handed the control token in his hand to Elder Su and then took the initiative to step aside.

"Kid, go down," Elder Su said indifferently while gripping the token in his hand. "Once the battle begins, there is no winning or losing, only life and death."

"Many thanks to Elder Su for the reminder," Ye Yisong said, cupping his hands in gratitude. Finally, he looked back at the old Ancestor Ye Rongming and Brother Shen Jun standing on the spectator stand, giving them a reassuring look.

As soon as Ye Yisong's feet touched the ground, the iron gate marked number 5 opened with a bang, and a ferocious tiger, blood-red all over, lunged out from inside.

"Hmm?" Elder Su only took one look at the blood tiger below and discovered something wrong; it seemed excessively berserk. He glanced indifferently at the Black-robed Deacon not far away, sneered in his heart, but said nothing.

"Roar!"

As Elder Su crushed the control token, the Blood-thirsty Tiger completely broke free from its restraints and lunged at Ye Yisong with a roar.

Ye Yisong also noticed that something was wrong with the Blood-thirsty Tiger. After lightly dodging the tiger's pounce, he immediately activated a Golden Armor Talisman and stuck it on himself.

The Blood-thirsty Tiger was blood-red all over, with faint blood-colored streams of light wandering on the surface of its body. The aura it revealed should be equivalent to an Eight-Star Martial Ancestor.

Perhaps the experts from Yuelai Pavilion had used too much force when capturing it, injuring its front left leg, causing its body to tilt to the right while running.

"Bang!"

The Blood-thirsty Tiger's several leaps and pounces did not harm a single hair on Ye Yisong, and it also allowed Ye Yisong to see its weakness.

The Blood-thirsty Tiger did not know how long it had been imprisoned underground; its Spiritual Qi had been mostly consumed, and now it was fighting relying only on instinctual physical strength.

However, it seemed a bit unintelligent. Its body bumped into the defensive light barrier several times, yet it didn't seem to know pain, continuing to attack Ye Yisong without hesitation, as if it were extremely thirsty for blood.

Ye Yisong had been in seclusion for several months and was just looking for an opportunity to test his strength; this sick tiger was just right.

He took out a Tier 4 longsword from his Storage Pouch and executed the Green Lotus Sword Arts, focusing his attacks on the Blood-thirsty Tiger's injured left leg. After several exchanges, the Blood-thirsty Tiger's already partially healed left leg sustained new injuries, causing it to howl in pain and triggering the bloodlust of the King of the Forest.

The Blood-thirsty Tiger lowered its body, touching its head to the ground. The character "King" ( king) on its forehead emitted faint ripples that expanded from small to large, instantaneously enveloping Ye Yisong.

Tiger Roar!

The Blood-thirsty Tiger roared wildly, and a shockwave that rattled the Soul struck Ye Yisong's mental sea in a spiral shape.

This mountain-shaking and sea-roaring shockwave did not shake Ye Yisong in the slightest. Ye Yisong stood where he was, motionless, and instead summoned seven green lotuses to form a longsword, which pierced along the shockwave towards the character "King" on the Blood-thirsty Tiger's forehead.

The moment the Green Lotus longsword touched the Blood-thirsty Tiger's forehead, the tiger's entire body was knocked flying, crashing heavily into the defensive light barrier behind it.

Ye Yisong immediately seized the opportunity and pressed forward, wanting to land a few more strikes on the Blood-thirsty Tiger's back. The Blood-thirsty Tiger was indeed a Late Stage Tier 4 Yao Beast; it reacted in time, immediately using the light barrier behind it to gain leverage, leaped over Ye Yisong's head, and unleashed its other Divine Ability.

Ferocious Tiger Descending the Mountain!

The Blood-thirsty Tiger was like a great mountain pressing down on Ye Yisong's head. With the immense force of ten thousand catties, like Mount Tai pressing down, just as its rough Physical Body was about to crush Ye Yisong's head, Ye Yisong turned his wrist and immediately changed moves.

A faint circle of red light was attached to the edge of the Green Lotus longsword. With a move called "Long Rainbow Piercing the Sun," the blue and red sword light directly ignored the Blood-thirsty Tiger's defense and pierced through its abdomen. The Green Lotus longsword sank into the Blood-thirsty Tiger's body and disappeared!

Ye Yisong raised his foot and kicked, stepping heavily on the Blood-thirsty Tiger's neck, kicking the tiger hundreds of meters away before it stopped moving.

"Explode!"

The Blood-thirsty Tiger rolled on the ground a few times in pain, the blood light around its body becoming more obvious. Just as it was about to pounce on Ye Yisong again, several rays of light shot out from inside its body, and the Blood-thirsty Tiger, like a deflated ball, was blown up into the sky.

As the pure energy ball exploded, hundreds of blood holes appeared all over the Blood-thirsty Tiger's body, and its already thin body became even more shriveled.

After falling from the sky to the ground, the Blood-thirsty Tiger still struggled unwillingly, trying to stand up. After several attempts, it could not succeed, and finally, with a mournful cry, it closed its eyes forever.

Ye Yisong threw out a longsword, cut off the Blood-thirsty Tiger's head, and then turned to salute Elder Su, saying, "Elder Su, this Junior has not failed the mission and has completed the assessment."
