Chapter 71: Sudden
Enlightenment As fast as lightning, the most powerful straight piercing sword move in the Qingfeng Sword Technique.
Gao Xian instantly activated the Electric Photovoltaic Dragon Hand, activating the sharp gold runes on the Stone-Slashing Sword, and all the strength of his muscles and bones was concentrated on the sword's edge.
Although the Iron Scale Demon Tiger discovered Gao Xian, Gao Xian's sword was too fast and the timing of the stab was especially good, so it had no time to dodge.
The lightning-fast Stone-Cutting Sword, with a sharp sword whistle, separated the iron-blue scales, tore open the tough skin and flesh of the Iron-Scaled Demon Tiger, and pierced directly into its neck.
Gao Xian could clearly feel the Iron Scaled Demon Tiger's muscles, flesh and scales contracting, and the Stone-Cutting Sword moving forward became increasingly sluggish, the blade having only penetrated half an inch before it could no longer move forward.
He had originally planned to pierce the Iron Scaled Demon Tiger's neck with one sword, but he didn't expect the tiger's muscles and skin to be so strong that it could clamp the sword blade with the force of muscle contraction.
Fortunately, the sword stabbed very deep, and the neck is a vital point, so even if it couldn't kill the Iron Scale Demon Tiger, it would still cause serious damage.
Gao Xian chose to stab instead of chop because stabbing is more powerful and faster.
If a slashing move is used, this sword can at most break the Iron Scale Demon Tiger's scales and skin, but it is difficult to really hurt the Iron Scale Demon Tiger.
After Gao Xian succeeded in striking the target with his sword, he immediately let go and stepped back. The seriously injured Iron Scale Demon Tiger was too dangerous, so he had to keep a sufficient distance between them.
The Iron Scale Demonic Tiger reacted faster than Gao Xian. Its long tail lashed towards Gao Xian like an iron whip.
The sound of the tiger's tail splitting the air was sharp and powerful, and Gao Xian felt as if the air seemed to be blown apart by the tiger's tail.
With the help of the Great Owl's magic, Gao Xian could see the trajectory of the tiger's tail's attack, but he had just used all his strength to strike the sword, and his body had no time to react.
Fortunately, he reacted quickly enough and activated the Qingyun Cover and Yi Mu Shield in an instant.
The tiger's tail lashed out like an iron whip, and the transparent shadowless clothes that looked like water first exploded into thousands of water droplets. The green cloud cover that was like a ball of faint green gas also suddenly exploded, and the green gas sprayed and dissipated to both sides along with the tiger's tail.
After being consumed by the Shadowless Robe and the Blue Cloud Cover, the power of the Tiger Tail's strike was significantly weakened.
Three of the four overlapping wooden shields were blown up by the tiger's tail, and the fourth wooden shield blocked the tiger's tail.
Gao Xian used the force of the tiger's tail to retreat several feet with his shield.
The tiger tail's blow blew up the heavy defenses, and he almost lost his life. Now he just wanted to hide as far away as possible.
He secretly rejoiced that Qingmu Jia's own wood shield was tough and came in handy at the critical moment.
Gao Xian expressed his sincere gratitude in his heart: "Manager Zhu, thank you for your Qingmu Jia!"
The severely injured Iron Scale Demon Tiger became extremely ferocious. It turned around and pounced towards Gao Xian.
When Gao Xian saw the Iron Scale Demonic Tiger rushing towards him, his heart seemed to stop beating with fear. This was totally different from what he had expected.
Sister Lan, who was located between his eyebrows, enabled him to remain calm at the same time and not let fear affect his judgment.
"The Iron Scaled Demon Tiger is fast and strong. He can't outrun it. The shield spells on the Qingyun robe and Qingmu armor cannot be activated again in a short period of time.
The sword is gone, so I can only fight with magic to have a chance! If that doesn't work, I can use the Shadowless Robe to turn invisible and escape."
Gao Xian's mind raced and he made a decision in an instant.
He raised his hand and pointed, and the ice arrow technique blessed by the two realms of ice and fire was instantly activated. A foot-long ice cone shot straight into the red eyes of the Iron Scaled Demon Tiger.
The Iron Scale Demonic Tiger shook his head and closed his eyes, and a layer of blue-black flames appeared on his body again.
The ice cone was shattered by the steaming and shining blue-black flames and failed to cause any damage to the Iron Scale Demon Tiger.
Flame bombs followed one after another, hitting the exact spot where the ice arrow had stabbed.
The optimized flame bomb is only the size of a ping-pong ball, smaller in form and faster in speed, but it condenses fire magic power and has greater destructive power.
The flaming bomb exploded with a loud bang, causing the Iron Scale Demon Tiger's head to suddenly rise back. The blue-black flames on the Iron Scale Demon Tiger's body also flashed along with it, neutralizing the power of the flaming bomb.
The second ice cone followed, and then the second flaming bomb.
The full level of Ice and Fire allows Gao Xian to instantly fire two ice arrows and two flaming bombs.
At the critical moment, Gao Xian used all his skills.
The blue-black flames on the Iron-Scaled Demonic Tiger's body rose and shone again, completely blocking the ice cones and flaming bombs.
Gao Xian knew that the blue-black flame was actually an outburst of the Iron Scaled Demonic Tiger's powerful magical power.
This method of circulating mana was very crude, and most of the mana was wasted. However, the Iron Scale Demon Tiger had powerful mana.
Two ice arrows and two flame bombs were fired in succession, but neither could penetrate the protective flames of the Iron Scaled Demon Tiger. Gao Xian felt a little desperate.
The two spells are still too low-level and pose almost no threat to the foundation-building level monsters.
Although he could instantly fire ice arrows and flaming bombs, firing four shots in a row was already his limit.
If he wants to activate it again, he needs at least some adjustments, but the Iron Scale Demon Tiger will not give him time.
Gao Xian felt a little regretful now. It seemed a little too late to activate the Shadowless Robe.
"I'm doomed this time! If I had known this would happen, I would have just had some fun with Qi Niang and the others instead of pretending to be a gentleman..."
Gao Xian felt desperate, but on the other hand, with Sister Lan's help, he was almost as calm as ice.
"There is also the True Yang Spear you can try!"
A golden light flashed in Gao Xian's eyes, and the True Yang Spear condensed by the golden light had already taken shape in his sea of consciousness.
He actually knew that the consciousness of the Iron Scaled Demonic Tiger at the Foundation Establishment level must be much stronger than his, and it was not something that his True Yang Spear could shake.
It was just that he had reached a desperate situation, and he had to try even if he knew it wouldn't work! He saw Qi Niang coming over, and if he delayed a little, there was still a chance! The extreme despair and the extreme calmness of reason were unified when he condensed the True Yang Spear.
While operating the True Yang Spear, he was also trying to launch the flaming bomb.
Under extremely special circumstances, Gao Xian felt as if some invisible barrier had been broken, and he suddenly had a new understanding of the two worlds of ice and fire.
How can you feel good with both ice and fire? You need the ninth level to do it! The mana in Gao Xian's body, which had almost solidified and stagnated, surged again like a river. The True Yang Spear that was accumulating energy dissipated in an instant, and all his mana was transferred to the two spells of Flame Bomb and Ice Arrow.
The comprehension of the Nine Heavens of Ice and Fire did not increase his magic power, but only allowed him to use it more efficiently. This almost mysterious skill also allowed him to break through his own limits and cast spells again.
Please...collect 6...9...books...!
He pointed at the Iron Scale Demon Tiger, and five consecutive flaming bombs shot out instantly, all hitting the exposed hilt of the sword on the Iron Scale Demon Tiger's neck.
Although he was calm just now, he was not smart enough. At this moment, a flash of inspiration came to his mind and he found that the sword tip stuck in the neck of the Iron Scale Demon Tiger was a flaw.
Because the sword had a foot and a half blade exposed outside, the Iron Scale Demon Tiger's protective magic flame could not cover this part.
Balls of flaming bombs exploded in succession, and the violent fire magic power gushed out large amounts of red flames, burning the blade of the Stone-Cutting Sword red.
The impact of the flaming bomb caused the red sword blade to tremble and shake continuously.
The Iron Scale Demon Tiger's protective magic flames could block the flaming bombs, but they could not block the high temperature transmitted by the sword blade. The severe burning pain made it roar in pain.
The violent vibration of the sword blade tore the wound on its neck again, causing it great damage again.
The severe pain caused the Iron Scale Demon Tiger to instinctively stop and tighten its scales, skin and muscles to suppress the pain. The flame of its protective magic power also became very dim.
Gao Xian fired five more ice arrows without hesitation, and all five ice cones accurately hit the sword blade on the neck of the Iron Scaled Demon Tiger.
Ice arrows are not only as powerful as arrows, but also contain the power of ice.
When the sword blade, which was burned red by the high temperature, encountered the ice arrow, the temperature dropped suddenly, and the power of ice penetrated directly into the body of the Iron Scale Demon Tiger.
The power of high temperature and ice gathered together, and the changes of ice and fire were so intense that even the Iron Scaled Demon Tiger could not bear it.
The wound on its neck was obviously covered with a layer of white frost, and its body became visibly dull and stiff. Most importantly, the flames of its mana had dissipated.
The sixth ice cone broke through the air and hit the Iron Scale Demon Tiger's eyes accurately.
The power of the ice arrow technique blessed by the Nine Heavens of Ice and Fire has been significantly improved.
This ice cone directly shot out the red pupil of the Iron Scale Demon Tiger and penetrated into the eye socket several inches deep.
This attack once again severely damaged the Iron Scale Demon Tiger. It instinctively roared in pain, and the sixth flame bomb shot into its open mouth in a flash.
A fireball the size of a ping-pong ball suddenly exploded, and the red flames expanded a thousand times.
The flaming bombs that exploded from the inside out were too strong for even the Iron Scale Demon Tiger to withstand.
Half of its face was blown off, and the huge impact force knocked its huge body to the ground.
The Iron Scale Demon Tiger was completely stunned and completely lost its sense of the outside world.
Zhu Qiniang, who was flying over quickly, happened to see this scene and was greatly shocked.
Although flaming bombs and ice arrows are low-level spells, Qigong practitioners still need to make seals, chant mantras, and hold scrolls when casting them, and make some preparations before they can complete the spells.
Even if one wants to activate the talisman, one needs to make seals and chant mantras in coordination, it is impossible to activate it instantly.
Gao Xian's ice arrows and flaming bombs were not only fired instantly, but also fired continuously in an instant, like a violent storm, and they overturned the foundation-building level Iron Scale Demon Tiger.
Zhu Qinnan also saw the opportunity. The Iron Scaled Demonic Tiger had completely lost its ability to resist.
She raised her sword high and slashed at the Iron-Scaled Demonic Tiger. The Qingshuang Sword left a beautiful green semicircular arc of light in the air.
With a sharp and piercing sword whistle, the Iron Scale Demon Tiger's neck was completely cut off by the Qingshuang Sword, and its huge head rolled several feet away.
Zhu Qiniang, whose hair was disheveled and whose face was covered with sawdust and blood, also breathed a sigh of relief. She looked up at Gao Xian and saw that Gao Xian showed her two rows of neat and beautiful white teeth...
