"Holy shit!"
Staring at the scattered bones and dust of the Undying Demon Beasts on the ground, the Undying Demon Bear, the Undying Demon Tiger, and the other Evil Spirits were so terrified they squealed like pigs.
Four to five hundred Undying Demon Beasts, all wiped out with a single punch.
That was too fucking scary.
RATTLE RATTLE RATTLE...
The Undying Demon Bear and the Undying Demon Tiger trembled violently, their bones rattling as if they were about to fall apart. They were chilled to the core with terror.
’What in the world is wrong with this human?’
’Why is he so terrifying?’
"Run! We’re no match for this guy!"
"Hurry and tell the Master! A monster has shown up! We have to ask him to deal with this personally."
"Right, only the Master can kill this guy."
"Run!"
Panicked, all the Undying Demon Beasts scrambled to flee deeper into the Array of Ten Thousand Undying Demons.
"Trying to run? Not a chance. Soul Suppressing Disc!"
Su Mo activated his True Dragon Supreme Body Technique, taking a single bound to appear before the Undying Demon Bear and smashing his fist down.
BAM!
The Undying Demon Bear was instantly smashed to dust.
AHHHH...
Under the power of the Soul Suppressing Disc, the Evil Spirit within it was obliterated bit by bit, letting out a blood-curdling scream.
BAM! BAM! BAM!
Su Mo killed the other few Evil Spirits, leaving only the Undying Demon Tiger.
The Undying Demon Tiger said in terror, "You... you... Our Master will not let you get away with this!"
"Damn it. You’re at death’s door and you still dare to threaten me? I’ll finish you off."
Su Mo smashed the Undying Demon Tiger to dust with a punch, then activated the Soul Suppressing Disc, preparing to obliterate the Undying Demon Tiger’s Evil Spirit.
"Elder, wait!"
Just then, the Striped Demon Tiger suddenly blocked the path to the Undying Demon Tiger’s Evil Spirit and pleaded, "Elder, can you let me speak with it first? It... it might be my father, who disappeared a hundred years ago."
"Your father?"
Su Mo sighed and agreed. "Fine. Since it concerns your father, go ahead and talk to it."
"Thank you, Elder!"
The Striped Demon Tiger sincerely thanked Su Mo, took a deep breath, and then stepped forward to ask, "Excuse me, but do you remember the name ’Little Tiger’?"
"Little Tiger?"
The Undying Demon Tiger mused, "That name does sound a bit familiar. I feel like I’ve heard it somewhere before, but I can’t quite remember."
Its mind was a mess right now; it could only remember things that had happened after it was created.
The Striped Demon Tiger, however, was incredibly excited.
Based on the Undying Demon Tiger’s aura, the Five-Colored Killing Light it had used earlier, and its faint familiarity with the name "Little Tiger," he was one hundred percent certain: the Undying Demon Tiger before him was his father who had been missing for a century.
"Father, it’s me, Little Tiger! Your own son! Don’t you even remember your own son?" the Striped Demon Tiger asked excitedly.
The Black Demon Wolf also stepped forward. "Uncle, do you remember me? I’m Little Wolf, Little Tiger’s brother who grew up with him. You even held me when I was a pup."
"You’re Little Wolf? And I held you?"
The Undying Demon Tiger stared at the Black Demon Wolf, its face full of confusion.
The Black Demon Wolf nodded.
SWISH!
Just as it was about to say more, a green light suddenly shot from the Undying Demon Tiger’s fingertip, stabbing straight toward its soul.
In an instant, a chill ran through the Black Demon Wolf’s entire body as it dodged the attack.
"Uncle, you..."
The Black Demon Wolf stared, dumbfounded, at the Undying Demon Tiger.
The Undying Demon Tiger sneered, "Hmph. After I was created by my Master, I have always remained within the Array of Ten Thousand Undying Demons. I don’t know any tigers or wolves. Don’t think you can use this trick to get information out of me!"
"This..."
The Striped Demon Tiger and the Black Demon Wolf were crestfallen, their faces etched with disappointment.
Su Mo asked, "So, what’s the situation?"
The Striped Demon Tiger gritted its teeth and said, "It really is my father who disappeared a hundred years ago, but he no longer remembers anything from before."
"Sigh..."
The Black Demon Wolf let out a sigh.
’To think that the once mighty and powerful Striped Tiger King, who dominated Qu Luo’s Tomb, would end up like this.’
The Striped Demon Tiger said sincerely, "Elder, I have a bold request. I hope you can grant it."
"Speak," Su Mo said coolly.
The Striped Demon Tiger took a sharp breath, as if steeling itself for a great decision, and said through gritted teeth, "Please, destroy my father."
"Are you sure?" Su Mo asked in surprise.
The Striped Demon Tiger said helplessly, "Sigh... rather than letting him be controlled by someone else, it’s better to let his soul return to the cycle of reincarnation and find peace."
Su Mo countered, "What if I could temporarily reawaken your father’s consciousness?"
What?
THUD. The Striped Demon Tiger dropped to its knees and kowtowed without hesitation. "As long as you can temporarily reawaken my father, Elder, I am willing to be your beast of burden, for lifetime after lifetime, and I will never betray you."
"Sorry, but you’re too weak. I don’t need you as a beast of burden," Su Mo refused.
The Striped Demon Tiger’s face was filled with embarrassment.
’The humans who came to Qu Luo’s Tomb in the past always wanted to capture me as a Demon Pet, and I would have rather died than submit. This time I was willing, yet Su Mo rejected me.’
Forcing himself, the Striped Demon Tiger said, "Elder, actually... I’m not that weak. I look very impressive when ridden."
Su Mo shook his head.
’The Striped Demon Tiger’s fur was colorful, and it would indeed look impressive to ride, but it didn’t possess a Divine Beast bloodline. It wasn’t worthy of being his Demon Pet.’
’It was even inferior to the Ink Flood Dragon.’
Su Mo waved his hand. "There’s no need for you to be my Demon Pet. But, seeing your devotion to your father, I’ll reluctantly help you this once."
With that, Su Mo activated the True Dragon Divinity Refining Technique.
CRACKLE...!
Immense Soul Power continuously poured into the Undying Demon Tiger’s body, suppressing the Evil Spirit within.
"Striped Tiger King, awaken!"
Following Su Mo’s soft cry, the Undying Demon Tiger seemed to respond to some kind of summons. Its once-cloudy eyes gradually cleared.
"This king... what is this..."
The Undying Demon Tiger looked at its own body in confusion, then raised its head to look at the Striped Demon Tiger and said in pleasant surprise, "Is that you, Little Tiger?"
"Ah, Father, you’re awake!" the Striped Demon Tiger exclaimed.
The Undying Demon Tiger was also filled with excitement. "To think that after being dead for a hundred years, I, your father, would be able to see you and Little Wolf again!"
"Uncle, you finally remember!" the Black Demon Wolf cried out excitedly.
"Yes, this king remembers everything now."
The Undying Demon Tiger nodded heavily, then looked warily at Su Mo, who was standing to the side, and asked, "And this is..."
"This is Elder Su. Elder Su is a powerful Soul Master. It was he who used his Soul Power to reawaken you," the Striped Demon Tiger explained, briefly recounting what had happened.
The Undying Demon Tiger said gratefully, "Thank you, Elder, for awakening me and allowing me to see my son again. This kindness is as great as giving me a new life."
"Spare the formalities."
Su Mo waved his hand casually and asked with curiosity, "Who is the one who created you all from behind the scenes?"
"The ancestor of the Beast Taming Sect, Qu Luo!" the Undying Demon Tiger said, taking a deep breath.
What?
’It was actually Qu Luo!’
Su Mo said, surprised, "Are you sure?"
The Undying Demon Tiger nodded. "Absolutely certain. The reason the Beast Taming Sect’s ancestor, Qu Luo, set up the Array of Ten Thousand Undying Demons was to resurrect his soul in another’s body and return to the mortal world."
