Looking at the corpse of the Dark Evil god Tiger, Yan still felt lingering fear.
For a group like theirs to successfully slay such a top-tier soul beast was truly unbelievable.
The Dark Evil god Tiger had paid a heavy price for underestimating them.
Of course, luck had also played a significant part.
Yan walked over to Leng Jun and Xiao Yu.
The elderly couple was seriously injured, and their soul power was exhausted. With Shui Bing'er and Xue Wu supporting them, they barely managed to sit up.
"Elders, the Dark Devilgod Tiger is completely dead. Your bodies—"
The couple exchanged a glance and smiled, deeply gratified.
Leng Jun said:
"Young man, don't worry. These injuries are nothing to us. A few days of rest and we'll be fine."
Yan quickly retrieved a medicinal herb from the Myriad-Spirit Treasury in his soul tool and handed it to the two elders.
"Senior, this Hundred-Spirit Nine-Section Wind herb has healing effects. It can help you recover faster. Please take it."
Leng Jun accepted the herb with a smile and said:
"Young man, I didn't expect you to have knowledge of medicinal herbs as well."
"You flatter me, Senior. I'm a disciple of Elder Chrysanthemum. I have some basic understanding."
Hearing this, Leng Jun felt even more reassured.
"No wonder. Elder Chrysanthemum of Spirit Hall is renowned for his love of flowers. Perhaps no one knows more about flora than him."
Leng Jun didn't know much about Yan, but after spending some time together, he felt Yan was a very special young man.
During the battle with the Dark Evil god Tiger just now, Yan's performance had shocked him and earned his admiration.
Without hesitation, Leng Jun and his wife Xiao Yu split the Hundred-Spirit Nine-Section Wind herb and swallowed it, then sat down on the spot to regulate their breathing and recover.
Yan, Shui Bing'er, and Xue Wu worked together to set up a tent for the two elders and quietly stood guard nearby.
It was now deep into the night.
Earlier, Shui Bing'er and Xue Wu had jointly used their Martial Soul Fusion Skill, depleting almost all their soul power.
Yan had also used a great deal of his energy, with little soul power remaining.
If a soul beast attacked now, the consequences would be disastrous.
"Bing'er, Xue Wu, you two should take this chance to cultivate and recover some soul power."
"Brother Yan, what about you?"
"Don't worry, my soul power recovers faster than yours. The Dark Evil god Tiger's corpse is still over there. With its strong evil aura, ordinary soul beasts won't dare approach."
Having absorbed several immortal herbs and with the protection of the Taiji Inner Power, Yan's soul power recovery was much faster than others.
He gently waved his right hand, and a ball of flame emerged from his palm, landing on the massive corpse of the Dark Evil god Tiger.
Flames had a repelling effect on soul beasts.
Yan used a small flame, allowing the enormous corpse to burn slowly.
Then, he sat down as well, keeping watch of the surroundings while also taking the opportunity to restore his soul power.
An hour later, Leng Jun opened his eyes and stood up.
"Senior, how are you feeling?"
"After taking that herb and regulating my breathing, I feel much better."
Leng Jun smiled. His complexion looked much improved.
He vigilantly scanned the surroundings. Seeing nothing unusual, he relaxed a bit.
Looking at the burning corpse and the yet-to-fully dissipate black soul ring, Leng Jun let out a long sigh.
"What just happened felt like a nightmare. I didn't expect the Dark Evil god Tiger to be so powerful. Thankfully, you knew something about it, allowing us to make targeted preparations. Otherwise, the five of us might've died here."
"Yes. I didn't expect us to actually kill it either."
"During the battle, I sensed it was injured—severely wounded from before, seemingly not fully healed."
"I see. It seems fortune truly favored us."
Yan speculated that the Dark Evil god Tiger might've been injured during a territorial dispute in the Star Dou Forest against the Titan Giant Ape and the Sky Blue Bull Python.
Leng Jun continued:
"This Dark Evil god Tiger appearing in the Ice Bound Forest posed a threat to young soul masters with ice attributes like Bing'er. As a senior, I had to step forward and deal with it. You are a fire-attribute soul master and likely won't return here again. But you still risked your life to stay and fight alongside us. I greatly admire your courage."
Yan responded humbly.
"Senior, you flatter me. Eliminating such evil soul beasts that threaten the lives of human Soul Masters is a shared responsibility for all of us. Besides, I understood it better than anyone else, so I couldn't stand idly by."
"Well said. Oh right, young man, if I'm not mistaken, that white aura you unleashed earlier was a domain skill, wasn't it?"
"Senior, to be honest, that is my Killing God Domain."
"The Killing God Domain? Then you've been to the Slaughter City?"
"Yes. I came to the Icebound Forest to cultivate in order to restrain the excessive killing aura on me. Senior, you've heard of the Slaughter City?"
Leng Jun nodded.
"I've heard it's a place of no return, a paradise for the fallen. Over the years, very few people have managed to walk out of there alive, and you're one of them. That's truly remarkable."
Leng Jun looked at Yan, a complex emotion flickering in his eyes.
"The resources of Spirit Hall are indeed extraordinary. Among all the young Soul Masters I've seen, your strength is the greatest. You will achieve great things in the future. It's just a pity that Spirit Hall nowadays…"
Leng Jun trailed off.
Yan knew what he meant.
In recent years, under the leadership of the Supreme Pontiff Bibi Dong, Spirit Hall's influence had expanded continuously, attracting more and more Soul Masters.
But many of them abused Spirit Hall's power, acting lawlessly, causing its reputation to decline compared to the past.
"Young man, I know you are someone special. I hope that when you reach the peak of your path, you'll still hold onto your original heart."
"Senior, rest assured, I will."
"That's good."
Leng Jun smiled in relief and looked at the black spirit ring that was about to vanish.
"What a pity about that fifty-thousand-year spirit ring. The Dark Devilgod Tiger's evil aura is too strong; only Light or Fire attribute Soul Masters can resist it."
After saying this, Leng Jun walked over to the burning corpse and examined it carefully.
Yan followed behind.
"Senior, it seems no spirit bone dropped from its body."
"Indeed. Such a unique and powerful soul beast didn't drop a spirit bone. But then again, most of its spirit power was gained by devouring other soul beasts or Soul Masters. Even if it had dropped a bone, it wouldn't be pure."
"Mm, you're absolutely right."
Leng Jun patted Yan's shoulder.
"Alright, go rest. I'll keep watch for the rest of the night."
"Senior, is your body okay?"
"Don't worry, these small injuries are nothing."
"Alright then. Thank you for your trouble."
Afterwards, Yan returned to the tent to meditate and recover.
The first rays of morning sunlight spilled across the pristine snow.
The massive corpse of the Dark Evil god Tiger had been completely burned away by the small fire, and its spirit ring had long since dissipated.
Yan, Shui Bing'er, and Xue Wu had all recovered to their peak condition.
Leng Jun and Xiao Yu, being more heavily injured, had regained some strength but were still not fully healed and needed more time.
Soon after, the group continued their journey toward the outskirts of the forest.
