In an instant, a strong sense of crisis surged into the hearts of Chi Chen and Lin Bai. Their expressions changed, and they simultaneously rolled quickly to the left.
"Whoosh!"
A broken tiger paw appeared out of the void and swung powerfully across the spot where Chi Chen and Lin Bai had been standing.
But before Chi Chen and Lin Bai could even stop rolling, the half-tiger paw vanished into thin air and instantly reappeared where their bodies were about to land.
Damn it!
Chi Chen cursed and pulled Lin Bai behind him, while simultaneously flipping his right hand to hold the long sword horizontally in front of him again.
"Bang!"
The tiger's paw, now missing its claws, collided with the longsword with a dull thud, and Chi Chen's body was instantly sent flying backward.
Although the tiger-shaped mystery, which had already entered the Ascension Realm, had suffered extremely serious injuries, it was now an Ascension Realm mystery. Its strength and speed were many times faster than before. At this moment, even if Chi Chen fully activated his Battle Saint Intent, it would be difficult for him to keep up with the tiger-shaped mystery's teleportation speed.
"Snap!"
As Chi Chen flew backward, the long sword in his hand was slammed into his right side by the force of the tiger's paw. The powerful shock made Chi Chen clearly feel several of his right ribs break instantly.
Chi Chen endured the pain and unleashed the Divine Forbidden Resurrection of All Things. A gentle power flowed through his body, rapidly repairing his injuries.
"Chi Chen, are you alright?"
Beside Chi Chen, Lin Bai asked a question, and at the same time flicked his finger, three Annihilation Pills appeared around him and exploded instantly.
Given the speed and frequency with which the tiger-shaped mystery is using teleportation, Lin Bai's annihilation attack can no longer accurately hit it. He also lacks Chi Chen's precise mental prediction, so he can only use this method to prevent the tiger-shaped mystery from using teleportation to attack him and Chi Chen.
"roar!"
But at this moment, the tiger-shaped mystery, already influenced by the demonic language, only wanted to tear Chi Chen and Lin Bai apart. He was not afraid of Lin Bai's annihilation at all. A black shadow rushed out from the firelight, carrying a slight smell of burnt meat, and attacked the two of them again.
As the tiger-shaped creature struck Chi Chen with its palm, its long tail simultaneously lashed out at Lin Bai, launching an attack on both of them at the same time.
Chi Chen and Lin Bai were startled and retreated simultaneously while launching a counterattack. Chi Chen's ring shot out several transparent threads again, piercing the tiger-shaped mysterious eye like lasers. Lin Bai also flicked his wrist a few times, and several bullets shot out, leaving long trails of fire.
"roar!"
The tiger-shaped mystery opened its bloody mouth and roared. Although its reason was almost completely overwhelmed by endless hatred, its body's instincts still made it slightly shift its massive body and successfully dodge the bullets fired from Lin Bai's hand.
However, the transparent thread in Chi Chen's hand successfully hit its body. Although it did not pierce its eyes, it did pierce the left half of its head. But the tiger-shaped mystery could hardly feel the pain at this moment. Like a ruthless killing machine, the tiger tail swept towards Lin Bai without stopping.
Chi Chen was also shocked when he saw this. Although Lin Bai was wearing that special cloak, it was not omnipotent and could not withstand the whip of the tiger's tail. Lin Bai was not him. If Lin Bai, who did not have the Battle Saint Armor, were to be hit head-on by the mysterious whip of the tiger form in the Ascension Realm, he would probably be seriously injured and on the verge of death, and lose his fighting ability.
At the critical moment, Chi Chen turned around and used his left hand to forcefully throw Lin Bai away, exposing himself to the tiger tail strike.
"Chi Chen!"
Lin Bai was thrown away by Chi Chen and turned his head to look in that direction in a bit of a hurry.
"Bang!"
Under Lin Bai's worried gaze, the tiger-shaped mysterious giant tail and the illusory image of the Battle Saint Armor around Chi Chen finally collided. In just an instant, Chi Chen's body was thrown high into the air and flew away into the distance.
"Click!"
A cracking sound rang out, and the Battle Saint Armor finally gave way, shattering and disappearing into specks of light for the first time in Chi Chen's astonished gaze.
"Boom!"
Two more annihilation explosions rang out beside the tiger-shaped mystery, as two more annihilation bombs were unleashed. Lin Bai's face turned deathly pale instantly. Since the start of the battle, he had used annihilation no less than thirty times, and each time at least two annihilation bombs appeared simultaneously.
With Lin Bai's spiritual power at the Radiant Realm, this was already somewhat beyond his capacity. A feeling of weakness and dizziness came from his head, and Lin Bai could not even control his landing posture, almost falling to the ground.
The moment Lin Bai landed, the mysterious tiger-shaped body appeared behind him. Two more charred holes, oozing blood, appeared on its body, but it ignored them and opened its blood-red maw to tear at Lin Bai's body.
Lin Bai, who had just landed, didn't have time to move and dodge. Most importantly, the weakness and dizziness made him feel as if his body wasn't his own anymore; his body couldn't quickly execute the commands coming from his head.
In the mysterious tiger-shaped eyes, a hint of excitement, as if a great grudge was about to be avenged, seemed to flash.
"Whoosh!"
But just as the mysterious tiger-shaped maw was about to touch Lin Bai's body, a long sword flew swiftly from the sky and accurately pierced the tiger-shaped maw. The enormous force from the long sword pushed the tiger-shaped maw backward.
Lin Bai finally moved his body and quickly headed towards the direction where Chi Chen was flying backward.
"roar!"
Behind him, the tiger-shaped mystery roared again, filled with anger and resentment. The long knife pierced straight through his mouth and face, embedding itself diagonally in his head. Even though its pain was greatly reduced due to the influence of the demonic language, this level of injury still instinctively caused it to feel pain and fear. But soon, the hatred in its heart completely overwhelmed these two emotions.
"Lin Bai, give me the knife!"
With bloodstains at the corner of his mouth and a look of pain on his face, Chi Chen rushed toward the tiger-shaped mystery at top speed. As he passed Lin Bai, Chi Chen shouted and took the long sword from his hand.
This was their last chance. The long sword pierced through the tiger-shaped mysterious brain, leaving it somewhat disoriented and motionless for a long time. Now, it was swinging its massive body, trying to shake off the long sword.
"Boom!"
Seeing this, Lin Bai gritted his teeth, squeezed out the last bit of his spiritual power, and then two Annihilation Bombs exploded beside the tiger-shaped mystery. He then fell straight to the ground, his face pale and extremely weak as he looked over there.
As expected, the Tiger-shaped Mystic's brain was damaged at this moment, so even when Lin Bai annihilated him, he did not move his body or use teleportation to avoid it. Under the two powerful explosions, the Tiger-shaped Mystic's entire body was blown into the air.
This also gave Chi Chen a great opportunity. As his spiritual power was greatly depleted, the revival of all things was constantly stimulated by Chi Chen, alleviating the severe pain that came from all parts of his body caused by the high-speed movement.
Chi Chen pushed off with his feet, dust billowing up from the ground. His body shot into the sky like a cannonball, his long sword pointing directly at the tiger-shaped mystery in mid-air. At the same time, the threads in his ring were released again, directly blocking the direction in which the tiger-shaped mystery would fall.
After doing all this, Chi Chen's face turned deathly pale. The healing effect of the Rejuvenation of All Things was incredible, but the consumption of mental energy was also enormous. Moreover, Chi Chen had been activating the Battle Saint Domain and controlling the Line Domain from beginning to end, which further depleted his mental energy.
The tiger-shaped mystery had very little time to fight Chi Chen in close combat, and Chi Chen didn't absorb much power from it. If Chi Chen's mental strength hadn't been far stronger than that of ordinary Radiant Forbidden Ability Users, he probably would have been exhausted long ago.
In mid-air, the tiger-shaped mystery sensed Chi Chen flying towards it. The sense of impending death caused the influence of the demonic language to subside slightly. It wanted to teleport, but Chi Chen was already less than a few meters away. With Chi Chen fully activating his Battle Domain, the tiger-shaped mystery felt as if its thoughts had slowed down.
Therefore, the tiger-shaped mystery was only a moment too slow, and that moment became its eternity.
A long sword gleaming with cold light struck its body with the force of thunder.
"Scratch!"
The sound of bones being sliced apart rang out in mid-air. With a single slash, Chi Chen nearly cleaved the tiger-shaped mystery in two.
The mysterious tiger-shaped body fell from mid-air, its life force rapidly dissipating, but Chi Chen would not give it the slightest chance. A mysterious being who has ascended to a higher realm will not die so easily as long as it still has a breath left.
Under Chi Chen's control, the incredibly hard, transparent threads pierced through the tiger-shaped mystery's body, instantly splitting its falling form into more than ten pieces.
Once the mysterious life fluctuations of the tiger-shaped creature completely disappeared, Chi Chen finally breathed a sigh of relief, and his entire body fell limply from mid-air.
"Bang!"
Chi Chen crashed to the ground, another wave of excruciating pain washing over him. Blood once more spilled from his mouth, and his spiritual power was completely drained, leaving him utterly powerless to fight.
But Chi Chen and Lin Bai's eyes were shining brightly at this moment, because this time, they actually defeated a mysterious being in the Ascension Realm entirely on their own abilities.
Especially Chi Chen, although he killed a mysterious beast at the Ascending Mirror Realm last time with just a small twig, that was under the possession of a monkey, which is completely different from this situation.
"Hehehe, you really do harbor a shocking secret. It seems you were the one who killed the mysterious figure who descended upon Duan Province that day? Little brother, what secrets do you hold?"
In the forest, Lu Yao, with her alluring figure, finally appeared in Chi Chen and Lin Bai's sight. The look in her eyes as she looked at Chi Chen was filled with a morbid smile.
She had witnessed the entire battle between Chi Chen and Hu Xingmi, and the combat power Chi Chen displayed was enough to shock anyone in the world beyond measure.
"It's you!"
Chi Chen's expression changed as the red figure that had brushed past him in the Shangjing District that day flashed into his mind. It seemed that what he had imagined that day was not his imagination.
Moreover, judging from Lu Yao's words, Chi Chen also knew that she must have been present when the incident occurred in the mountains that day.
