Everything was just as the Wild Wolves planned. Tens of thousands of players had rushed to Dragon Gate Inn because they were tempted by Tiger Soul. In less than half an hour, more than half of them were killed by Dongfang Bubai.
Moans of despair filled the land. The desert was filled with corpses strewn everywhere on the sand, covering each inch of the land. Torn limbs could be found miles away. The rolling sand was dyed red in blood, and after the high heat made them evaporate, the hot wind was filled with a suffocating stench of blood.
The few who survived had long since disappeared without a trace.
Those who had personally witnessed and experienced Dongfang Bubai’s callous massacre and sensed the might of Tiger Soul did not even dare to linger around. Without stopping, they ran into the depths of the desert, worried that Dongfang Bubai would remember them and chase after their lives.
Tens of thousands of players perished in the desert.
This news soon spread through the game.
And all those in the desert would have their expressions change when they heard about Tiger Soul.
The people from Wind Assault Tower were still quietly hidden behind the sand hill. They did not dare to show their faces. Without Phantasmal Shadow’s orders, no one dared to readily peek outside.
Phantasmal Shadow had a frown on her face. She quietly watched the red figure in the distance with an incredibly wary gaze.
Dongfang Bubai!
At that moment, Dongfang Bubai was dressed in a fiery red robe, but it was drenched in blood, making it appear cold and bewitching. He looked like a demon spoken in legends. But when compared to the alliance master, he was not as brutal and domineering. Instead, he gave off a soft but cruel air.
In his hands, Tiger Soul was domineering and awe-inspiring. In the beginning, it shone with a domineering and dazzling golden light. Now, it had turned completely reed. Even the spine of the white tiger in it seemed to have drunk enough blood, and it was now in a strange and savage blood red color. It looked as if it had come alive, and all those who saw it would shudder.

Why aren’t they moving?


Even the alliance master isn’t moving.


Did something happen? Look at Tsao Suiyan. That guy is actually retreating…

A few people behind Phantasmal Shadow spoke to each other softly.
Phantasmal Shadow could see it clearly. She frowned and watched the scene for a moment before she spotted some clues. She said,
Something is off… Tiger Soul seems to be doing something in Dongfang Bubai’s hands.


Huh?

Quite a number of people instantly focused because of what Phantasmal Shadow said.

Cult Master Dongfang, many martial artists from the righteous path and evil path as well as Embroidered Uniform Guards have died in your hands. If this news spreads out, no one can protect you.

The alliance master still had a mask over his face as he stood across Dongfang Bubai. His eyes were ice blocks behind the holes on the mask, and no emotion could be seen from them.
The alliance master just stood calmly 328 feet away from Dongfang Bubai. He placed his hands behind his cloak and watched Dongfang Bubai as he gradually fell into a demonic state and could not control his heart.
Dongfang Bubai said nothing.
Ever since Tiger Soul gained a bloody red color and the tiger soul in the saber started moving around as if it had come alive, Dongfang Bubai had descended into a very strange state.
Each of the tiger-shaped saber glares had a deep red color when they charged forward. It was as if a bloody-red catastrophe had descended in the world. An incredibly pungent smell of blood filled the air, and all those who smelled it would want to vomit. Those who drew closer would even be intimidated by the sound of a tiger’s roar. Each attack was stronger and more bizarre than the last, and it caused even the alliance master to not dare to get closer to him. He stood far away as he spoke up to test Dongfang Bubai.
‘Could it be that his mind has already been completely devoured by Tiger Soul?’
The alliance master frowned. He could still remember how it felt like when he was controlled by Tiger Soul. The saber would affect its wielder in an unseen manner. The wielder would not even sense that he or she had been completely taken over by the killing intent in the saber. When he thought about it now, it was terrifying.
A solemn atmosphere spread between both of them.
At that moment, Tsao Suiyan was slightly behind them.
Even though he had not experienced what the alliance master went through, Tsao Suiyan could clearly sense a certain presence from Dongfang Bubai. He was currently like a python who had suddenly curled up. Even though he had temporarily calmed down, his head was raised, and his eyes were fixed on the people within a circular area of 328 feet. All movements and stimulations might cause him to descend into a violent, murderous rage, and it would also bring forth Tiger Soul’s killing intent fully.
When the alliance master had Tiger Soul in his hands, Tsao Suiyan could still think about fighting back.
But Dongfang Bubai’s attacks were soft and gentle, and they complemented Tiger Soul perfectly. Because of it, he became even more uneasy and felt even more threatened when he faced Dongfang Bubai.
The alliance master had the same feeling.
Based on the changes in Tiger Soul and the changes in Dongfang Bubai, he could sense that Dongfang Bubai was becoming even more dangerous, and that was why he did not take immediate action.
He cast a glance at Tsao Suiyan as he stood far to his side. A light crease appeared between his eyebrows, and he spoke in a mocking drawl,
Lord Commander, aren’t you standing far behind us? Are you perhaps thinking of only coming out to handle the situation after the both of us fight to the death?


And what opinion might you have, Sir?
Tsao Suiyan asked coldly.
The alliance master spoke without a chance in his expression.
Let’s work together and take down Dongfang Bubai.


I’m part of the government, and you’re a thief. We do not belong to the same side.
Tsao Suiyan’s answer was very simple and straightforward.
The alliance master laughed loudly.
If that’s the case, I can make way for you and admire how you take revenge for your subordinates. I look forward to how heroic you will look like when you take down Cult Master Dongfang.

Those words hit where Tsao Suiyan hurt.
Thousands of Embroidered Uniform Guards had died in Dongfang Bubai’s hands just like that. Their corpses were strewn all over the place, and even if he were the commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guards, he would need to offer an explanation when the death toll was so astonishingly high.

All of you in the evil cult have always used whatever you have in your disposal to achieve your goals. The instances where you betray your allies after you achieve your goals is too numerous to count. How can I be certain that you will not stab me in the back?


We will be working with each other willingly in this. It’s your choice as to whether you’re willing to work with me. But let me say this first, I will be the one getting Tiger Soul. I will not take Dongfang Bubai’s corpse or anything else.
When he said this, the alliance master paused for a moment. He suddenly said,
It’s not entirely because of Tiger Soul that allowed Dongfang Bubai to be able to not suffer even a single injury while he kills tens of thousands of people while he is encircled by multiple martial artists. I believe you will really like Sunflower Manual.

His last sentence caused Tsao Suiyan to have his eyes light up. Then, an intense look appeared in his eyes.
Sunflower Manual was a peerless martial art, and while it was slightly inferior compared to Tiger Soul, to him, it was something that he could only hope to find.
Even though he was a little reluctant to give up on Tiger Soul, when he thought about this in depth, he found that it was not a bad thing to give up on it, because even Dongfang Bubai, who was himself a matchless elite, was affected by Tiger Soul and turned into a soulless killing machine.
Once he thought of this, Tsao Suiyan’s gaze turned firm.

Alright! We’ll take down Dongfang Bubai, and when we do, I’ll get Sunflower Manual, while you get Tiger Soul!


That’s a promise!

Delight shone in the alliance master’s eyes.
These two people in the dao of heaven came to an agreement in the desert.
In the next second, two pairs of cold and fierce eyes landed at the same time on Dongfang Bubai, who was influenced by the demonic nature in Tiger Soul.
At the moment their gazes landed on him, Dongfang Bubai reacted to them by reflex! He had been standing still with the saber in hand, and his face was full of discomfort as he struggled against the saber. But in the next instant, his face turned as cold and stiff as marble. A murderous and bloody red light shone in his narrow, gentle, and bewitching eyes.
Whoosh!
He seemed to not have moved at all, but the sound of air being torn still rose.
Hiss!
A blood red saber glare tore through the air. A terrifying trench was left behind in the desert, and in an instant, it arrived in front of the alliance master.
These two people had always been in Dongfang Bubai’s attack range, but they had activated their power in the dao of heaven and had become One with the World. That meant that they had disappeared from Dongfang Bubai’s world, which was only natural that they would not be attacked.
However, at the moment both of them made their decision, they no longer tried to hide their existences. The powerful presence of those who were One with the World was released fully, and their killing intent, which seemed to have material form, were trained on Dongfang Bubai. It was only natural that Dongfang Bubai would be able to sense them.

Perfect timing.

The alliance master did not panic as he faced the bloody tiger-shaped saber glare. He moved to the side and easily avoided the attack. His hands, which had been hidden behind his cloak, were swiftly brought out.
The air in front of Dongfang Bubai seemed to have been sunk because it was pushed down by an invisible force, and a ruthless power rammed into him like a cannonball tearing effortlessly through a forest.
As expected of someone who was the most skillful among those who were One with the World and who had defeated six people in the dao of heaven with Tiger Soul. Right when he attacked, his ingenious attack brought about substantial threat to Dongfang Bubai.
Dongfang Bubai might have his mind greatly affected, but his ability to fight still remained.

ROAR!

A blood red light shone around his body. The alliance master’s tricky palm strike was blocked by that blood red light. Dongfang Bubai’s body did not even move. Two blood-red saber glares charged in front of the alliance master with a spirit pressure that had substantial form.
The alliance master’s pupils narrowed.

Is this the new ability given to you by Tiger Soul?


As expected of the greatest catastrophic weapon of the ancient times. It does live up to its name!

Even though it had happened very suddenly, the alliance master was completely unbothered by it. He did not try to avoid the two fierce saber glares rushing at his face.
Before the saber glares touched him, the wind it stirred had already reached him.
His cloak was flung high into the air behind him, and it let out loud, fluttering sounds.
While he remained airborne, the alliance master’s gaze turned even colder.
Right before his body was about to be hit by the two saber glares, the alliance master vanished, as if the world had suddenly lost all traces of the alliance master.
The saber glares cut through the alliance master. They met no resistance whatsoever.
But the alliance master remained unharmed.
Those saber glares charged past, and the alliance master escaped unscathed.
Tsao Suiyan had the clearest idea of what had happened, but it was clear that this was not the time for him to have his mind wander and think about what happened. Even though he was incredibly puzzled, the alliance master had created a rare chance for him while he personally baited Dongfang Bubai to attack him. He would naturally not let this chance go.
He became one with his sword. A magnificent and grand sword force moved like a sentient ray of light shining in the world. It struck Dongfang Bubai’s body.
Boom!

I hit him!

His attack contained qi that could allow him to break defenses, and it had struck Dongfang Bubai without running into any resistance, just as he expected. Tsao Suiyan was delighted.
However, right when this thought appeared in his head, an incredibly brutal tiger’s roar suddenly rose by his ears.

ROAR!

It was close to him, and the sound rammed into his eardrums.
Tsao Suiyan’s expression changed drastically. He was caught off guard, and he felt as if something had crashed violently into his eardrums. His body shuddered violently, and blood gushed out of his mouth. He could not control it. He fell down from the air.
While he was still in the air, a blood red saber glare chased after him from the sky. Tsao Suiyan shouted in shock, anger, and fear, and it charged past him.
