Chapter 361: The Netherworld White Tiger Finally Falls

Ge Long was so furious that his beard was practically bristling and his eyes bulging.

So many support-type and ranged-attack soul masters—almost all of them wiped out in no time.

Of course, these soul masters had protection, but the appearance of the Netherworld White Tiger was simply too sudden.

With a light leap, it broke through their defenses!

"Kill! Take down that Netherworld White Tiger—let him never return!"

Ge Long pointed in the direction of the Netherworld White Tiger and gave his order.

But truthfully, Ge Long didn't even need to give the order—frontline soul masters had already begun to surround and hunt the Netherworld White Tiger.

These soul masters were, for the most part, not especially strong. Most were Soul Masters and Grand Soul Masters.

You should know, even in the Heaven Dou Empire's strongest regiments—the Royal Knights—even a Soul Ancestor could be a general-level figure.

Most of these retainers and nobles were Soul Masters or Grand Soul Masters, with the occasional Soul Elder or Soul Ancestor among them.

As for Soul Kings and above, they existed, but were very rare.

"Roar..."

With a roar that shook the heavens, the Netherworld White Tiger, who had taken quite a few soul skill attacks, suddenly grew wings—flashing with ghostly light and white radiance—right before everyone's astonished eyes!

Like a tiger growing wings—the idiom had come true!

"Roar..."

Now able to fly, the Netherworld White Tiger flapped its wings and instantly took to the air.

"???"

The soul masters in the air were all dumbfounded. They had never heard of a Netherworld White Tiger with wings!

Not just the Heaven Dou Empire's side—even the Star Luo Empire's nobles and soldiers were equally shocked.

Wasn't it said that Dai Mubai and Zhu Cai'er couldn't use their Martial Soul Fusion Skill at all?

But not only did they use their Martial Soul Fusion Skill—they even grew wings!

For the nobles of the Star Luo Empire, the Netherworld White Tiger Martial Soul Fusion Skill was no secret. After all, it was precisely because of this skill that the Dai family became the royal house, and the empress's position was always held by a woman from the Zhu family.

"So the Netherworld White Tiger can grow wings too!"

Despite their surprise, morale among the Star Luo Empire's ranks soared!

"Kill!"

"Kill the cowards from Heaven Dou!"

Dai Weisi and Zhu Zhuyun trembled as they witnessed this from afar.

The two exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with shock.

"Little brother, you must come back alive!"

Dai Weisi clenched his fists and muttered.

That the Netherworld White Tiger could grow wings was something even the royal family barely knew.

Actually, as things stood, Dai Mubai and Zhu Cai'er could have just fled if they wanted to survive.

But could they run now?

Clearly, it was impossible!

"Husband and wife united, sharing life and death."

"Mubai!"

"Cai'er!"

"Let them witness the true Netherworld White Tiger!" ×2

The Netherworld White Tiger raised its head and howled, an extremely terrifying aura rapidly condensing, making even the nobles on the Heaven Dou side shiver uncontrollably.

"Holy King's Roar!"

The Netherworld White Tiger released a ghostly energy shockwave at the soul masters in the sky—a strike so deadly that, to them, contact meant certain death!

The soul masters fell from the sky like dumplings dropping into soup...

"So strong, unbelievably strong!"

Such a powerful attack consumed a lot of soul power, and for Dai Mubai and Zhu Cai'er—who were only at the Soul King level—it was a tremendous burden. But neither of them regretted it!

They charged once again at the remaining flying soul masters...

High above, Kong nodded in approval—this change in Dai Mubai was something he hadn't expected.

Ready to die with resolve, huh.

"What a pity for someone like you. No wonder the God of War had their eye on you."

"The curtain falls on this stage. Isn't that also a form of glory for you?"

Someone who'd been weak all his life, now dying for a righteous cause—Kong found it hard to pass judgment on this.

"Ah... in the end, I was too soft-hearted."

"After you die, I'll send you to the place where Bo Saixi and Tang Chen should have gone."

There, it's where gods go after death. In that place, Dai Mubai and Zhu Cai'er will find a different kind of 'eternity,' with no war, no...

Time passed. As strong as the Netherworld White Tiger was, in the end it was just two fused Soul Kings. Their soul power was limited, and even burning their life force, they were nearing their limits.

Another wave of dozens of soul skills from the Heaven Dou side surged toward them, and this time, the Netherworld White Tiger didn't dodge...

"Cai'er, do you regret it?"

"You, a coward, even dared to come… Why would I have any regrets?"

"If… If there's a next life, would you still be willing to marry me?"

"Then you better not be like you were before, or I might not choose you next time!"

After saying this, the Netherworld White Tiger instantly broke apart. With the last of his strength, Dai Mubai pulled Zhu Cai'er into his embrace.

Maybe this was the only way she had a chance to survive…

But under the onslaught of dozens of soul skills, there was simply no way they could hold out!

"Save the general!!!"

With a loud crash, both Dai Mubai and Zhu Cai'er were reduced to a rain of blood. Yet in that final moment, a smile appeared on her lips.

She was just a discarded piece of the Zhu family, married off to this failed prince by her clan—her fate sealed from the start.

She used to hate Dai Mubai, for he was a coward.

She also resented her fate.

Why could Zhu Zhuqing escape, but she couldn't?

That too was fate.

At the moment before death, she realized she might not have married the wrong person after all. This guy, though a bit useless, wasn't so bad…

"See you in the next life, Mubai."

Somewhere the living could not see, Dai Mubai and Zhu Cai'er found themselves dazed, staring at the figure before them.

"Kong…"

Dai Mubai called out softly, though no sound came—he existed now only as a soul.

"Dai Mubai, it's been a long time."

Kong smiled as he spoke.

Dai Mubai: "…"

He never thought his reunion with Kong would be like this.

"Hello, Zhu Cai'er!"

Zhu Cai'er: "…"

She glanced at Dai Mubai, then at Kong, a bit confused.

Though Dai Mubai made no sound, she knew what he was saying.

"Kong?"

The God King of Thunder—Kong!

"There's no need to say much. I plan to send you to a world where you can live forever, a place only gods can go after they die. I wanted to ask for your consent."

"If you're unwilling, just pretend I never appeared."

"If you agree, blink three times."

Hearing this, Dai Mubai was taken aback. He didn't think Kong would joke with him—someone of Kong's strength had no reason to.

Besides, he was already dead…

If not for Kong, he and Cai'er probably would have already faded away.

After thinking for a moment, he looked at Zhu Cai'er.

He'd once thought he could make decisions for others, but now he no longer believed that.

If it weren't for Zhu Cai'er, he probably wouldn't have died so "honorably"…

Seeing this, Zhu Cai'er smiled slightly and blinked her eyes three times…
