Skinwalker Belle – Chapter 206 – True Form of the Tiger God

“Long Yan?”

Hu Lie slowly stood up, tossing the remains of the shattered crystal cup in his hand to the ground. The laziness in his eyes was instantly replaced by a chilling killing intent.

He stared at the figure slowly walking in from the ruins of the manor’s gate, a grin spreading across his face to reveal a mouthful of stark white teeth.

“You actually dared to come back.”

Long Yan didn’t speak.

He walked forward step by step, each one seeming to land on everyone’s heart.

There was no energy fluctuation from his body, making him seem like an ordinary person, but his eyes, which burned with golden flames, caused the temperature in the entire City Lord’s Manor to plummet.

He walked past the Tiger Clan Guards who had collapsed on the ground, wailing incessantly, without giving them a single glance.

His target, from beginning to end, was singular.

“Trash, it looks like you’ve had some dogshit luck.” Hu Lie stretched his muscles and bones, his entire body letting out a series of crisp cracks like popping beans. The terrifying pressure of a Level 7 powerhouse erupted from him. “But do you really think that just because you’ve advanced to Level 7, you’re qualified to act so insolently before me?”

“Hu Lie.”

Long Yan finally spoke, his voice hoarse yet carrying an undeniable finality.

“Today, you will die.”

“On your own?” Hu Lie laughed out loud as if he had just heard the world’s greatest joke. “You reckless fool! This City Lord will show you today that even between two Level 7s, there is a world of difference!”

Before his voice had even faded, Hu Lie’s figure instantly vanished from his spot!

The next second, he appeared before Long Yan, a tiger claw powerful enough to shatter mountains and split stone hurtling toward Long Yan’s head with a shriek that tore through the air!

Faced with this lightning-fast strike, Long Yan’s expression didn’t change in the slightest.

He merely lifted his right hand slowly.

Bang!

The tiger claw and palm collided, letting out a dull, heavy thud.

A violent shockwave of energy erupted from the two of them at the center!

Reaⅾ οո ΚαtRеаdіngСafе

The floor of the entire hall cracked inch by inch, and the expensive tables, chairs, and decorations were instantly turned to dust!

Hu Lie’s pupils contracted violently.

His sharp claws, which could easily tear through the defenses of a Level 6 Demonic Beast, had been blocked so casually!

He hadn’t even left a single scratch!

“Impossible!”

Hu Lie roared in fury, his other hand forming a claw and striking again, this time at Long Yan’s heart.

Long Yan remained where he was, neither dodging nor evading. He raised his other hand and precisely caught Hu Lie’s second attack.

“Is this the extent of your power?” Long Yan looked at him, his golden pupils filled with disappointment. “Too weak.”

“You’re courting death!”

Hu Lie was utterly enraged. He unleashed his Level 7 power without reservation, energy gathering on his claws and transforming into two solid blades of energy!

However, Long Yan merely applied a slight pressure with his wrist.

Crack!

The sound of shattering bone was distinctly audible.

“Ah!” Hu Lie let out a blood-curdling scream. He felt as if his wrist was caught in an iron vise as an irresistible force crushed his wrist bones to pieces!

With a casual flick of his hand, Long Yan sent Hu Lie’s massive body flying like a broken sack, crashing through an entire wall.

“Lord City Lord!”

Captain Hu Ben’s eyes looked ready to split. He and a group of personal guards were about to charge forward.

“Get lost!”

Long Yan merely shot them a cold glance.

A supreme pressure originating from the depths of his Bloodline pressed down on them like an ancient, divine mountain.

Thud! Thud!

Reaⅾ οո КatRеαⅾinɡСαfе

Hu Ben and the guards behind him couldn’t even last a second. Their legs went weak, and they all fell to their knees, their bodies trembling uncontrollably, unable to even lift their heads.

What… what kind of pressure was this?!

A single glance had robbed them, Level 4 and 5 Evolved beings, of all courage to resist!

“Cough, cough…”

Hu Lie struggled to his feet from the rubble, looking at his own wrist in disbelief, then at Long Yan, who stood like a god or a demon.

How could he be this strong?!

It had only been a month! What in the world had he gone through?!

“Hu Lie, I have a question for you.” Long Yan walked toward him step by step, his voice icy. “Who ordered you to send people to the Mist Forest to kill me?”

Hu Lie’s eyes narrowed.

He knew about that?

“No one ordered me.” Hu Lie snorted coldly, forcibly suppressing the shock in his heart. “This City Lord just didn’t like the look of you. Do I need a reason to kill someone?”

“Very good.”

Long Yan nodded, the killing intent in his golden eyes intensifying.

“Then do you know who died because of those pieces of trash you sent?”

Hu Lie froze.

Who died?

What did he mean?

“The assassins you sent attracted the Pureblood Dragon Clan.” Long Yan’s voice carried a tremor he couldn’t suppress and a sky-high hatred. “They killed someone who was… more important to me than my own life!”

“Her name… was Long Ningshuang!”

Boom!

Rеаԁ оn ΚαtRеαdіոɡCаfe

The name “Long Ningshuang” exploded in Hu Lie’s mind like a thunderclap from a clear sky.

He was completely stunned, standing there dumbly, his face a mask of shock and disbelief.

Long Ningshuang… was dead?

That woman in the black, dragon-patterned cheongsam, with the bewitching figure and noble, alluring aura… was dead?

How…

How was that possible?!

Because of the assassins he sent, the Pureblood Dragon Clan was drawn out… and then she died?

An overwhelming sense of absurdity instantly enveloped Hu Lie.

He had only wanted to kill a worthless renegade from the Dragon Clan.

He never could have imagined that things would turn out like this!

He had indirectly… caused the death of the woman he had his eyes on?

“So…” Long Yan’s voice pulled him back from his chaotic thoughts. “Today, this entire City Lord’s Manor will be buried with her!”

As his voice fell, Long Yan’s figure vanished again.

This time, his speed was several times faster than before!

Hu Lie only saw a flash of gold before a fatal sense of crisis enveloped his entire body.

He didn’t even have time to react. He could only rely on his combat instincts, crossing his arms to protect his chest.

Bang!

A fist covered in pure golden Dragon Scales slammed solidly into his arms.

Crack! Crack!

The bones in both his arms snapped on impact!

Hu Lie let out a roar of pain as his massive body was sent flying again, smashing a huge hole in the back wall of the City Lord’s Manor.

“Ahhhhhh!”

The intense pain and humiliation drove Hu Lie completely mad.

“Long Yan! Don’t get too cocky!”

He let out a world-shaking roar from within the ruins, and an incomparably violent aura shot up from his body into the sky!

“Roar—!”

Along with a deafening tiger’s roar, Hu Lie’s body began to expand at a visible rate. Brownish-yellow fur grew wildly, his muscles bulged, and his bones enlarged!

In the blink of an eye, he had transformed into a majestic, ten-meter-tall giant tiger, its entire body wreathed in black flames!

True Tiger God Form!

This was the final form that could only be awakened after a Tiger Clan Bloodline reached Level 7!

“Long Yan!”

Having transformed into the Tiger God, Hu Lie’s voice was like rolling thunder, filled with endless majesty and ferocity.

“Today, I will let you witness the true power of a veteran Level 7 powerhouse!”

His four paws stomped the ground, leaving a deep claw mark with every step. His enormous body, filled with a sense of oppression, walked toward Long Yan one step at a time.

Long Yan looked at the behemoth before him without a trace of fear on his face.

He just slowly raised his head, his golden pupils burning with an unquenchable flame.

“Perfect.”

He said softly.

“Before you die, I’ll let you witness what a true… Dragon Clan is!”

The next moment, an even more resonant, more sacred dragon’s cry echoed through the heavens!

Brilliant golden light erupted from within Long Yan’s body, dyeing the entire night sky a sheet of gold
