Chapter 255: Massacre

Before the war, Yang Xiong specifically told everyone that this would not be a head‑on clash, but that everyone must use their own minds and fight flexibly, for only then can true victory be achieved.

Although humans are individually smaller than Evil Demon Tiger Whales and Demon Soul Great White Sharks, that very smallness makes them unusually agile, allowing them to seize fleeting moments in combat and launch ambushes on the enemy.

At the same time, Ning Rongrong and the others are essentially quasi‑Soul Douluo, with top‑tier combat power, and can definitely seize the moment to deliver a killing blow to the Evil Demon Tiger Whale that is fighting the Demon Soul Great White Shark.

Sure enough, as Yang Xiong expected, after being poisoned all the Evil Demon Tiger Whales saw their strength drop sharply, their bodies half‑paralyzed, their usual attacks greatly weakened, and even their defense reduced considerably when facing the Demon Soul Great White Shark's fangs.

Feng Xiaotian transformed into a massive double‑headed swift‑wind demon wolf, moving extremely fast in the sea, creating one vortex after another; countless Wind Blades struck different Evil Demon Tiger Whales, all aimed at their vital points, both heavily damaging them and disrupting their own combat.

Shui Bing'er and Huo Wu each exercised their Control System Soul Master control abilities; fire shadow and cold ice swiftly enveloped the Evil Demon Tiger Whale. Even though the Whale's strength is formidable and can break free, they still gave the Demon Soul Great White Shark a chance.

Especially Shui Bing'er, who moves like a fish in water; the ice phoenix radiates endless cold, forming ice swords that continuously attack the Evil Demon Tiger Whale.

Ning Rongrong then directly used the Seventh Soul Skill: Nine‑Treasure True Body, which not only supports Feng Xiaotian and others but also aids the Demon Soul Great White Shark; under the light of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, the shark's speed increased and it became even more ferocious.

Oscar had long prepared a large quantity of Sausage; after everyone ate the Sausage they became extremely exhilarated, and their attack power received a noticeable boost.

Moreover, each person was equipped with a large stock of Super Recovery Big Sausage, ready to be eaten at any time to continue fighting.

As for Qin Shuang and Yang Wei, both assisted the Demon Soul Great White Shark in attacking the Evil Demon Tiger Whale.

When Yang Xiong and Xiao Bai together entangled the Evil Demon Tiger Whale King, the battlefield swiftly began to tilt toward the Demon Soul Great White Shark.

Because every Evil Demon Tiger Whale was poisoned, their combat power dropped sharply, and gradually some began to fall, a torrent of blood pouring into the sea, turning the whole water a shade of red.

Yang Xiong deliberately wielded the Crimson Blood Thunder Sword against the Evil Demon Tiger Whale King; besides its extremely strong attack, it also allows long‑range strikes.

Each blade of sword qi, once released, not only attacks the Evil Demon Tiger Whale King himself but can also strike other Evil Demon Tiger Whales.

The Evil Demon Tiger Whale King can use its robust body to block Yang Xiong's sword qi, but ordinary Yi Wan Nian Evil Demon Tiger Whales are not so fortunate; they are easily split in two by the sword qi or suffer severe damage.

As Yang Xiong's party entered the fray, Evil Demon Tiger Whales kept falling, and Feng Xiaotian and the others gradually began to make achievements, taking the chance to kill the Evil Demon Tiger Whales.

At this moment the Evil Demon Tiger Whale King finally sensed something amiss; normally the Demon Soul Great White Shark clan is weaker than the Evil Demon Tiger Whale clan, and although this battle erupted suddenly and the sharks had a few humans assisting them, it should not have become a one‑sided rout.

Even the Evil Demon Tiger Whale King himself, when fighting Xiao Bai, felt a bit powerless, as if he was no longer as formidable as before.

The Evil Demon Tiger Whale King roared angrily, "Xiao Bai, you're shameless! How could you poison our Evil Demon Tiger Whale clan?"

Xiao Bai sneered at the Evil Demon Tiger Whale King, "Evil Tiger, this is your retribution, and the retribution for your clan's slaughter of marine life. You deserve to die; I will, on behalf of the Sea God, eradicate you."

The Evil Demon Tiger Whale King snorted, "Sea God? The Sea God vanished tens of thousands of years ago. Only your Demon Soul Great White Shark clan is willing to be humanity's lapdog, willingly betraying our Soul Beast clan."

"Do you still remember how your brother died back then? Today I'll make you die without a burial place."

The Evil Demon Tiger Whale King let out a roar; its massive body barreled straight toward Xiao Bai, its huge maw seemingly capable of swallowing an opponent whole.

Xiao Bai likewise opened his massive mouth toward the Evil Demon Tiger Whale King, his sharp teeth snapping at the whale.

On the ocean, the two great Hundred‑thousand‑year Soul Beasts collided, causing the entire sea surface to churn. Both possess their own Domains: the Demon Soul Great White Shark Xiao Bai has the Demon Shark Domain, while the Evil Demon Tiger Whale King wields the Tiger Whale Domain. The clash of Domains raised towering waves, and countless currents surged within the water.

Facing the duel of these two Hundred‑thousand‑year Soul Beasts, Yang Xiong now brandished the Crimson Blood Thunder Sword, slashing in all directions; streaks of blood‑red sword qi shot skyward, killing many Evil Demon Tiger Whales.

Seeing Yang Xiong's carnage, the Evil Demon Tiger Whale King surged at full force toward Yang Xiong, as if to tear apart the enemy who was slaughtering their kin.

However, Yang Xiong's strength was far greater than he imagined; with a single all‑out strike, he instantly blasted the Evil Demon Tiger Whale King away, his head pierced by a huge hole, looking severely wounded.

Facing such a savage Yang Xiong, even the countless Evil Demon Tiger Whales around were intimidated, as if they had seen a Shura demon.

At that moment, Yang Xiong emitted endless blood‑red light; under the effect of his Killing Domain, a radius of several hundred meters resembled hell, and the soul power of countless Evil Demon Tiger Whales was instantly suppressed, leaving them sluggish and even unable to use soul skills.

The others and the Demon Soul Great White Shark seized the opportunity, swiftly reaping the Evil Demon Tiger Whale herd; the entire herd was instantly battered, dozens of Evil Demon Tiger Whales were slain, and the seawater turned completely crimson with blood.

Now the Evil Demon Tiger Whale King's eyes burned with fury; this human before him not only possessed formidable strength, repeatedly crushing him and killing many of his own kin, was truly the core of this great battle, even suppressing his own power.

The Evil Demon Tiger Whale King let out a roar; its body arched like a bow and snapped back, blasting Xiao Bai away, while a massive water column shot skyward, heading straight for Yang Xiong.

Yang Xiong merely snorted, and all the surrounding light converged into a massive sword that struck the water column, cleaving it apart, then slashing straight at the Evil Demon Tiger Whale King. Even though the king's body was extremely robust, Yang Xiong's blow caused blood to gush from his entire body, and even half of his fish fin was sliced off.

This is Yang Xiong's Self‑Created Soul Skill: God‑Slaying Strike, forged from the combined insight of sword qi, killing aura, and Domain. He originally used the God‑Slaying Strike against Xiao Bai, but at that time the Sea God's assessment barred the use of Domains and Soul Ring skills, so its power was considerably weaker.

Now, Yang Xiong's full‑power God‑Slaying Strike reached near‑ultimate strength; wherever the massive sword swept, the sea seemed emptied, countless Evil Demon Tiger Whales perished from the strike, and even the Evil Demon Tiger Whale King sustained severe injuries.

At this moment the Evil Demon Tiger Whale King seemed to grasp the dire situation; if the battle continued like this, the Evil Demon Tiger Whale clan would likely be slaughtered to extinction.

And the gold‑clad man before them was unimaginably powerful.

Seeing the Evil Demon Tiger Whale King heavily wounded, several extremely powerful Evil Demon Tiger Whales, disregarding their lives, rushed toward Yang Xiong, attempting to rescue their clan leader.

But any Evil Demon Tiger Whale that approached Yang Xiong was immediately suppressed by his Killing Domain; their soul power was completely nullified, they were terrified, and they were swiftly cut down by Yang Xiong.

Now the Evil Demon Tiger Whale King's body glowed crimson, seemingly making a dying struggle, trying to give his clan one final push.

Xiao Bai hurriedly warned, "Careful, that Evil Tiger wants to self‑destruct; if it does, we'll all be severely injured."

A hint of contempt flashed in Yang Xiong's eyes, and a blood‑red light emanated from his gaze—this was the Shura Divine Light.

The Shura Divine Light is a pure mental attack that pierces straight through the Evil Demon Tiger Whale King's body; the soul power the whale had gathered was instantly dispersed, its eyes even appeared vacant, its spirit utterly shattered, leaving it like a husk.

Yang Xiong glanced at Yang Wei and the others: "Brother, Oscar, Rong Rong, make your own choice."

Yang Wei, Oscar, and Ning Rongrong exchanged glances; finally, Yang Wei gritted his teeth, grasped the Profound Iron Sword, and thrust the ultimate blade straight through the Evil Demon Tiger Whale King's head.

The Evil Demon Tiger Whale King let out a final gasp; its life force seemed to vanish entirely, leaving only a massive blood‑red Soul Ring.

After the Evil Demon Tiger Whale King was slain, the entire Evil Demon Tiger Whale clan suffered severe damage, and all the whales began a frantic retreat.

Yang Xiong carefully surveyed the scene; with the number of Evil Demon Tiger Whales now under half, he theoretically had completed the Sea God's fourth trial.

But Yang Xiong shouted, "These Evil Demon Tiger Whales are trying to escape; everyone, focus on your assessment and try to kill as many Evil Demon Tiger Whales as possible."

The others, upon hearing this, even though the mission was already complete, joined the Demon Soul Great White Shark in fully slaying the Evil Demon Tiger Whales.

After more than half an hour, the sea gradually calmed, leaving only a few 80,000‑year‑old Evil Demon Tiger Whales barely clinging to life, all heavily wounded by Yang Xiong.

Now the sea resembled hell, a radius of nearly ten thousand meters dyed crimson with blood, leaving only the corpses of Evil Demon Tiger Whales—estimated at over two hundred in number—while only about a hundred managed to escape.

Conversely, the high‑age Evil Demon Tiger Whales all perished; it was their desperate fighting that broke through the defensive circle, bringing a chance of survival to the clan.

In contrast, the Demon Soul Great White Shark clan sustained virtually no serious injuries; only a few sharks were wounded, and only a handful died.

With this, Yang Xiong and his companions had fully completed the Sea God's fourth trial; this was probably the Sea Soul Beast clan's largest naval battle in centuries—a battle worthy of the title Peak Whale Shark War.
