Chapter 1287: Dragon and Tiger Clash

"You're not even worthy to challenge our boss. Get past me first."

Under Qinglong's handsome features, a mocking smile curved his lips, and his gaze towards the second leader was full of confidence.

The opponent's mind was clear. Qinglong's instantaneous movement earlier had already showcased his formidable power. Even the confident Second Leader, Huawang, dared not underestimate him. He decisively shifted from his human form back into his beast form, his eyes fixed intently forward.

"Ha, let alone someone like you, what if even a true dragon were to descend? This is my domain, the Tiger King's territory!"

The opponent's words were full of confidence, but his true strength remained to be seen.

No sooner said than done, Huawang transformed into a yellow beam of light and shot upwards. But Qinglong was clearly far more skilled in combat experience than his opponent. He knew that the Huawang clan's greatest strength lay in close-quarters combat. Yet, although Qinglong possessed that strength, he had no intention of giving his opponent that opportunity!

"Heh, do you think you can attack my weakness with your strength? It's not that easy. If I want, you won't even be able to touch a single hair on my head."

Qinglong dared to speak with such confidence because he had naturally prepared for battle. The next moment, he stepped into the air, and countless black and white chess pieces rapidly condensed in his palm, flying towards the Golden Tiger King. The instant the chess pieces locked onto Huawang's aura, they quickly began to weave one black and white colored shackle after another!

This was a powerful sealing ability Qinglong had just awakened, an enhancement to his strength brought by Xu Yang. However, he hadn't expected the energy chains binding his opponent to be instantly shattered by a burst of golden light from Huawang, the second leader!

"Oh my god, how is this possible! Could it be that Huawang's strength can rival that of Big Brother Qinglong after his enhancement?"

The young White Tiger showed an expression of utter astonishment; he truly hadn't expected Huawang, the second leader, to possess such a level of power.

However, in Xu Yang's eyes, Huawang's development was merely average, not truly a formidable opponent.

"Qinglong, use the Yin-Yang Nine Palace Formation. That's the only way to truly trap him."

As soon as Xu Yang finished speaking, a clearer battle plan formed in Qinglong's mind. He quickly formed hand seals, and countless black and white squares crisscrossed, swiftly blocking all of Huawang's movement routes.

Indeed, with Xu Yang's guidance, Qinglong's immediate combat power was greatly unleashed, delivering an immense spiritual deterrence to his opponent.

"Heh, is that all you've got? Rushing in like a mad dog will never defeat an opponent stronger than you. Although your accumulated power over the years is outstanding, your practical combat experience is nowhere near mine. You are no match for me; give up your resistance."

Qinglong's words carried a certain disdain for his opponent, as he knew that with Boss Xu Yang's personal guidance, this battle would have no suspense.

"Hahahaha! Your boss gave you this confidence, didn't he? Very well, I'll tear you apart with my own hands right in front of him, and we'll see what gives you the right to act so superior in my presence!"

The instant his words fell, the Golden Tiger revealed his ferocious fangs, and the murderous aura erupting from him swelled to its peak.

It was at this moment that Qinglong sensed a truly strong sense of danger from his opponent.

"Damn it, is this guy planning to use his ultimate life force?"

Qinglong knew very well that as beings possessing the will of a beast king, when pushed to their limits, such life forms could activate an ultimate human-beast fusion combat state, fully unleashing the bloodline talent of their corresponding beast will.

For a clan like the Spotted Tiger, their inherent bloodline talent was ultimate offensive power. In this regard, not just Qinglong, but even any divine beast race would admit inferiority.

If this guy were to unleash this ultimate bloodline talent, the surrounding seals would likely become useless!

Indeed, Qinglong had guessed correctly this time. Because Huawang, the second leader, had determined that he must succeed in this battle, or there would truly be no chance of breaking free.

Roar!! A fierce roar suddenly erupted, and a dark golden inscription suddenly flashed on Huawang's body—a sign that he was fully activating his bloodline talent.

"Oh my god, this aura is too strong, Big Brother Qinglong, you must be careful!"

The young White Tiger spoke with a solemn expression, offering a warning, unaware that Xu Yang's latest mental message had already reached Qinglong's mind.

"Softness overcomes hardness!"

These four words sounded familiar at first, but fully manifesting this principle through one's own martial arts was quite difficult.

However, Qinglong did not disappoint Xu Yang. His aura hovered in mid-air, but he had already silently left his original position, transforming into a partially ethereal outline, appearing behind his opponent.

Awkwardly, Huawang didn't realize that his intended target had performed a cicada shedding its shell trick, making him spin in circles.

Boom! In this wave, Huawang, the second leader, unleashed his most powerful attack. Unfortunately, the moment his sharp claws plunged deep into the air, all the mocking laughter around him surged forward, completely crushing his soaring fighting spirit.

"Hahahaha, little tiger, feeling a bit awkward, aren't you? You've been set up by our Qinglong!"

The Xuanwu clone mocked Huawang, the second leader, and the others also chimed in, pushing the second leader to the brink of rage.

"You bastards, are you toying with me like a monkey? Fine, since this secret realm can no longer continue to function anyway, let everything here completely dissipate!"

"Heh, already planning to perish with us? Too bad, you're not worthy!"

Xiaohua's cold voice rang out, and an angelic radiance filled with divine light descended. All the power erupting from Huawang was swiftly purified by the angelic force. Even he himself was completely enveloped by the angelic power, suspended directly in the void.

"What's happening? What kind of power is this? It can completely neutralize my beast soul aura!"

Of course, Xiaohua wouldn't utter the word "angel" to such a lowly fellow. She merely gave the second leader, Huawang, a disdainful smile.

"Listen to the judgment delivered to you by Qinglong's arrival! You should never have come to this battlefield!"
