"This is getting a bit troublesome!"
Chi Chen frowned slightly. Although he was incredibly fast after activating his Battle Saint Intent, the Tiger Form Mystic possessed the ability to teleport. No matter how fast Chi Chen was, he couldn't catch up with the teleporter instantly.
The mysterious tiger also realized that Lin Bai's close combat ability was inferior to its own, which forced Chi Chen to stay with Lin Bai at all times to protect his safety. The original combat strategy that the two usually used, where Chi Chen would take the lead in attacking and Lin Bai would use Annihilation to find the right opportunity to harass and deliver a fatal blow, had to be abandoned.
Tiger-shaped mysterious eyes, with their eerie vertical piercings, were now staring at Chi Chen with some apprehension.
Although it had only exchanged blows briefly, it was well aware of Chi Chen's terrifying power. If it hadn't had the ability to teleport, it would likely have been cleaved in two by Chi Chen's longsword by now.
It sensed an extremely strong sense of danger from Chi Chen. This seemingly weak human possessed a hidden power within him that was enough to kill it.
After a brief exchange, the two sides fell into silence and stalemate.
Suddenly, the mysterious tiger-shaped body disappeared from its spot again. It knew that as long as the two of them dragged this out, the other side would definitely have reinforcements arriving, and then it would be in real danger.
"careful!"
Seeing this, Chi Chen unleashed his spiritual power to its fullest extent, carefully sensing everything around him. As long as Lin Bai remained within his battle domain, he was confident that he would detect the tiger-shaped mystery the moment it appeared.
"right!"
Chi Chen raised his longsword, and a beam of light shot out from the blade, heading towards his right side.
Lin Bai was equally swift. The moment Chi Chen spoke, he flicked his wrist, and after three consecutive gunshots, three fiery snakes shot towards the empty space.
At the same time, a small annihilation also appeared from that side.
Chi Chen and Lin Bai were pulled back more than ten meters at the same time, their tacit understanding was perfect.
The entire sequence of movements was completed in less than a breath.
At the spot where the two attacked, the mysterious tiger-shaped figure instantly appeared. Its vertical eyes held confusion and shock. Chi Chen's perception and reaction were so strong that they had somewhat refreshed its understanding of the Radiant Realm.
"boom!"
The sound of annihilation erupted again, and Chi Chen's blade light and three bullets arrived at the same time. But the next second, the mysterious tiger-shaped body disappeared from that spot again, and Chi Chen and Lin Bai's perfect attack missed its mark.
"So fast?!"
Chi Chen sensed a faint mental fluctuation coming from behind him.
Chi Chen grabbed Lin Bai's hand and ran forward abruptly.
"Scratch!"
The next second, a giant claw slashed across the direction where Chi Chen and Lin Bai had originally been.
Chi Chen and Lin Bai turned around quickly, their eyes changing slightly as they looked at the mysterious tiger-shaped creature. Could it be that the creature could seamlessly connect its teleportation attack?
Moreover, this time, when the tiger-shaped mystery disappeared and reappeared, it clearly suppressed its mental power fluctuations, causing Chi Chen's perception to decrease slightly.
This tiger-shaped mystic with solidified mirror is at least several times stronger than the four that Chi Chen killed during the new recruit training. Even if those four mystics were together, they would definitely not be a match for this tiger-shaped mystic.
In terms of both intelligence and combat strength, this tiger-shaped mystery is the strongest mystery Chi Chen has ever encountered, apart from the one that reached the Ascension Realm.
"roar!"
The tiger-shaped mysterious attack missed again, which made it even angrier, and it let out another angry roar.
The mysterious tiger-shaped tail twitched, producing several sonic booms in the air, before its figure flashed and disappeared again.
This time, it reappeared behind Lin Bai, to Chi Chen's left.
When it comes to picking persimmons, you have to pick the softest one. Since the mysterious tiger-shaped creature had failed to snatch Chi Chen several times, it would naturally prioritize Lin Bai, who had been hit by it earlier, as its breakthrough point.
Chi Chen's eyes narrowed, but a smile appeared on his lips.
"roar!"
The next moment, the mysterious tiger-shaped body suddenly appeared, but it paused in mid-air and fell to the ground. Several thin but deep wounds that revealed the bone appeared on its body at the same time.
The tiger-shaped creature stared with its mysterious, blood-red eyes at the several hard, transparent threads that had appeared in its path. Its once-proud defense had been breached by these few transparent threads.
As soon as the mysterious and enormous tiger-shaped body fell from the sky, Chi Chen's body swayed slightly, leaving several afterimages on the ground, and in an instant he arrived in front of the mysterious tiger-shaped body.
Chi Chen leaped high into the air, his long sword flashing like lightning as he slashed fiercely at the enormous head of the tiger-shaped mystery.
Faced with the long blade hurtling towards his head at lightning speed, the Tiger-shaped Mystic once again used teleportation, attempting to evade Chi Chen's attack.
But the tiger-shaped mystery, whose body instantly appeared in another direction, suddenly discovered that one of its hind legs was firmly bound by the transparent thread that had injured it earlier. Its teleportation ability was to teleport its body over short distances, but it was not the disappearance of its body.
Therefore, as soon as it used its teleportation ability, the transparent silk thread binding it caused a pulling force to be transmitted from the ring in Chi Chen's hand to its entire body.
"Hey!"
A strange smile appeared on Chi Chen's lips. The perfect combat skills of the Battle Saint Intent allowed him to instantly stabilize his slightly unsteady body due to the pulling force. Then, he actually used the force to his advantage, and his body instantly disappeared from the spot.
Then, Chi Chen's body spun several times in the air, and he reappeared in front of the tiger-shaped mystery in an instant, like a giant windmill. With the support of the constantly rotating power, Chi Chen's speed and power in striking the sword were even faster than before.
Tiger-shaped Mystery's wide, vertical pupils suddenly contracted, realizing that it was too late for him to use his teleportation ability.
"roar!"
The tiger-shaped creature roared angrily, raised its two forelimbs, and slammed them forward.
bite--!
The sound of the longsword clashing with the giant claw rang out again, but this time, under Chi Chen's terrifying power, not only were the sharp, hard claws on the other forelimb neatly cut open by the longsword in Chi Chen's hand, but half of the left forelimb was also cut off by Chi Chen.
"Roar!"
A mysterious, painful roar from the tiger-shaped creature echoed through the forest. Its bloodshot eyes were fixed on Chi Chen, and it endured the pain as it lashed its tail, which was as thick as a steel bar, like a whip towards Chi Chen, who had already moved away from it.
The current Tiger-shaped Mystery only wants to tear Chi Chen to pieces, bite him apart, taste his flesh and blood, and see why he is different from those human ants.
At the critical moment, Chi Chen held his long sword horizontally to his side, accurately blocking the tiger's tail lash. However, the immense force from the blow caused Chi Chen to slide rapidly across the ground for over twenty meters, leaving a long trail before finally coming to a stop.
But Chi Chen's attack was not over yet; yes, the transparent thread was still wrapped around one of the tiger-shaped mystical hind legs.
Chi Chen's spiritual power surged and emanated from the ring on his finger, causing the originally soft silk thread to become extremely hard again. Then, under Chi Chen's control, he twisted it forcefully.
Similarly, the weapon mastery ability brought by the Battle Saint Intent allowed Chi Chen to perfectly utilize the Line Domain the first time he used it.
"Roar!"
With another painful roar from the tiger-shaped mystery, its right hind leg was instantly split in two. The tiger-shaped mystery was seriously injured in both its forelimbs and hind limbs, causing it to lose its balance and almost fall to the ground. However, being a solid-state mystery, it stubbornly managed to stabilize itself.
But what awaited it next was three snaps of fingers in the distance. Lin Bai, who seemed to have been forgotten by it, once again activated three Annihilation spells.
"Boom boom boom!"
"Damn it, you thought I was easy to bully? You even slapped me, and now my back and waist are still burning! Let's see how you dodge this time!"
Lin Bai looked at the tiger-shaped mystery that was engulfed in the explosion caused by his three annihilation attacks, and spat on the ground. He hadn't even used his back yet, what would he do if it got damaged?
Chi Chen came to Lin Bai's side, and the two sensed the aura within the firelight. The mysterious spiritual fluctuations of the tiger shape had not completely disappeared, which meant that it was not dead yet.
Sure enough, when the firelight subsided, the mysterious and enormous tiger-shaped body lay on the scorched and bare ground, with blood flowing like a stream beneath it. Its once glossy fur was now charred black, and its flesh was a bloody mess.
"roar!"
The tiger-shaped creature let out a painful roar, appearing somewhat weak and lacking its previous domineering aura. Under the attack of Chi Chen and Lin Bai, it was clearly seriously injured and on the verge of death.
Tiger-shaped Mysterious's somewhat dim vertical eyes stared intently at the two teenagers in the distance, filled with anger and hatred, as well as a deep fear. It hadn't expected that two humans at the Radiant Realm could have injured it to such an extent in such a short time.
"Their vitality is truly remarkable!"
Chi Chen and Lin Bai were in no hurry to finish him off. If the tiger-shaped mystery made a last-ditch effort, something unexpected might happen. If they delayed any longer, the tiger-shaped mystery would be in even worse condition. They might not even need to lift a finger before it bled to death.
"roar!"
The mysterious tiger-shaped creature was aware of Chi Chen and Lin Bai's plan. It swayed and used its two still relatively intact legs to support its body.
Seeing this, Chi Chen gripped his longsword horizontally, guarding against the tiger-shaped mystery's counterattack.
But the next moment, to Chi Chen and Lin Bai's somewhat surprised looks, the mysterious tiger-shaped figure with eyes full of hatred towards them actually ran away!
Tiger-shaped mysteriously activated teleportation, instantly disappearing from its original spot. The next second, it appeared even further away from Chi Chen and the other person.
However, the distance the tiger-shaped mysterious teleportation could cover at this moment was significantly shorter than before, and its injured limbs were simply unable to support its rapid escape.
"Kill him!"
Chi Chen and Lin Bai exchanged a glance. Since things had come to this, there was no need to wait until its condition worsened.
Just as Chi Chen was about to make a move, he felt a sudden jolt and stopped himself instantly. Then, he frowned and looked at the mysterious, somewhat staggering tiger-shaped body.
There, the mysterious tiger-shaped body that had been desperately fleeing suddenly stopped, and then a somewhat chaotic mental fluctuation emanated from its body.
“Go ahead, tear them apart. Don’t you hate them? Don’t you want to rip them to pieces with your own mouth and swallow them whole?”
A devilish whisper rang in the tiger-shaped mystery's ear, and its already somewhat blood-red eyes were now completely replaced by an intense crimson.
"Roar!"
The tiger, in a mysterious form, roared to the sky, its voice soaring into the heavens.
"Something's not right, Lin Bai. Don't leave my ten-meter radius of control from now on!"
Chi Chen sensed the mysterious and inexplicably increasing spiritual power emanating from the tiger-shaped creature, and his brows furrowed into a deep frown. It was the same situation they had encountered with Qing Sheng before.
There must be someone hiding in the shadows around here, and it's the same person as last time!
Who exactly is it?
Chi Chen looked around, extending his mental power to its maximum range, but still couldn't find any trace of the person behind him.
"Is it the Heretical Forbidden Zone? Or a traitorous high-ranking member of the Secret Bureau?"
Chi Chen and Lin Bai's faces turned slightly pale. No matter which situation it was, it was extremely fatal for them at that moment.
This time, there are no monkeys to help Chi Chen, as neither the monkeys nor Nuwa have awakened yet.
"He's reached the Ascension Realm!"
Chi Chen and Lin Bai looked at the tiger-shaped mystery that had finally stopped its aura rising, and their expressions turned extremely ugly. Even though their combat power was already abnormal enough, it was almost impossible for them to deal with a mystery that had reached the Ascension Realm.
Fortunately, although the Tiger-shaped Mysterious One has advanced to the Ascension Realm, it is still suffering from serious injuries, so its strength will inevitably be greatly reduced. It is not impossible for Chi Chen and Lin Bai to fight.
Even if they manage to solve the mystery of this Ascending Realm expert, how will they deal with the person hidden behind it?
Is someone who can forcefully elevate a mysterious being from the Solid Mirror Realm to the Ascending Realm Realm really someone they can handle?
Chi Chen was also puzzled. Since the other party was so strong, why didn't they just attack them directly?
"Is that the captain?"
Soon, Chi Chen understood why the Luan Ning District, with Zhang Rong in charge, had almost never seen any mysteries at the Star Radiance Realm or above. It was all because that man was too terrifying. Once a mystery at the Star Radiance Realm released enough spiritual power fluctuations, it would inevitably be sensed by Zhang Rong.
The consequence of being perceived by Zhang Rong can be summed up in one word: death!
Can we escape?
No, the tiger-shaped mystery has clearly locked onto the two of them with its mental power. If they were to be led outside, countless people would die.
Then there's only one way: kill it here.
Chi Chen and Lin Bai exchanged a glance, both seeing the determination and solemnity in each other's eyes. If things went wrong this time, their lives might be lost here.
But can they die?
The answer is, of course, no. There are still many things waiting for them to accomplish!
They absolutely cannot die here!
At this moment, the mysterious tiger-shaped creature, already influenced by the demonic language, wouldn't give Chi Chen and his companion any time to think.
The tiger-shaped figure turned around, and Chi Chen and Lin Bai couldn't help but tremble when they saw those scarlet eyes. Then, the tiger-shaped figure disappeared before their eyes!
