A flash of golden light appeared as the razor-sharp Golden Blade Claw struck the Furious Thunder Body.
The Spirit Thunder Power fiercely resisted the Ancient Gold-Origin Force but was pierced in an instant.
Fortunately, the claw's power was much reduced after breaking through.
The Thunder Dragon Hatchling's tough scales blocked the claw, leaving only several white scratches.
Still, it showed how powerful the Thunderous Tiger was.
This was expected—gold attribute Spiritual Power is known for its destructive force.
As an Ancient Remnant Species, the Thunderous Tiger's talent "Ancient Gold-Origin Seed"
could convert Spiritual Power into Ancient Times' mighty Gold-Origin Force, far surpassing ordinary gold Spiritual Power in damage.
If not for the Thunder Dragon's Ancient Spirit Thunder, it could not even partially negate some Gold-Origin Force.
This is why Ancient Remnant Species are generally stronger than modern Spirit Beasts.
"Roar…"
Though uninjured, the Thunderous Tiger's attack made the Thunder Dragon Hatchling angrier.
It roared fiercely and used "Azure Lightning Eye."
Blue lightning surged in its eyes, shooting two lightning beams at the Thunderous Tiger.
The Thunderous Tiger was startled and quickly used "Golden Tiger Palm" to block.
A golden paw quickly formed on one of its paws to guard against the lightning beams.
"Boom…"
The two narrow lightning beams, each about the width of the Thunder Dragon Hatchling's eyes, were blocked by a single paw.
After impact, both skills dissipated.
The Thunder Dragon Hatchling opened its mouth wide, preparing to use "Thunder Breath" to attack.
The Thunderous Tiger, having no attack skills left, hurriedly used "Stun Roar" to interrupt.
This skill was special—it did not require an instant Spiritual Power burst and was cast very fast.
Earlier, the Thunderous Tiger hesitated to use it, uncertain if the stun would be a one-hit kill.
If it failed, it could not use the skill to retreat later.
Indeed, the Thunderous Tiger had planned to retreat if necessary.
Though unwilling to abandon its child, it would save itself if forced.
Surprisingly, the skill only managed to interrupt the Thunder Dragon Hatchling's attack.
After stunning the Thunder Dragon Hatchling, the Skyshaking Tiger seized the chance and lunged, biting the Hatchling's neck.
But the Hatchling was under "Furious Thunder Body" and protected by tough scales.
The bite did not penetrate its defense.
Instead, it helped the Hatchling awaken faster.
After the attack, the Hatchling immediately countered with "Thunder Claw," hitting the Thunderous Tiger hard.
The Tiger winced in pain, trembled violently, spat foam, and collapsed.
Lin Luo quickly took out an advanced Spirit Beast ball and captured the Thunderous Tiger.
As an Ancient Remnant Species that could Atavism into a Primordial Remnant Species, it could neither be killed nor spared.
At that moment, the assassin was captured and brought forward.
He was a thin middle-aged man with a handlebar mustache, not tall.
Without the mustache, he would blend into the crowd unnoticed.
Lin Luo vaguely remembered him—not affiliated with Ye Family but from a neutral faction.
Though this might be only on the surface.
Perhaps his faction was secretly under Ye Family's control, or he was a Ye Family agent undercover.
This assassination attempt conveniently aligned with Ye Family's interests.
"How dare you attempt to kill Young Master Lin? Tell me, who sent you?"
A Lin Family guard shouted.
"No one sent me."
The mustachioed man replied.
"No one sent you? Then why did you try to kill Young Master Lin?"
Lin Luo and the guards clearly did not believe his lies.
"I just didn't like him, so I tried to kill him. What of it?"
The man countered.
"Do you believe your own lies?"
"Why not? I envy his looks and family background, so I don't like him. Wanting to kill him is only natural, right?"
…
His words left the guards momentarily speechless.
Though knowing he was lying, it was also a strangely reasonable excuse.
After all, many commit crimes out of envy, jealousy, and hatred.
"Looks like you came prepared to die for your mission."
Lin Luo said, seeing the man's expression.
The man closed his eyes silently, clearly ready to be executed.
