The Invincible Supreme Medical God-Chapter 960 - 524: Difficulty Rises Sharply
...
The beast in front of him was a tiger with a scorpion's tail and large red eyes. It was at least two meters tall and exuded a magnificent aura. As for its level, Yan Xiaobao couldn't tell, but looking at this beast, he knew it was much stronger than the ordinary level Flame Soldier he had just battled.
This time, Yan Xiaobao did not activate Velocity Flow but waited for the Scorpion-tailed Tiger to make the first move. He needed to gauge the power of this beast before determining how to handle it.
The tiger clearly needed no invitation to attack. As soon as it saw Yan Xiaobao, it pounced towards him with overwhelming pressure. Its sharp claws protruded from its paws, and its teeth bared with a cold sneer. It was apparent that this beast did not see Yan Xiaobao as a threat; even a Saint-level human cultivator was nothing more than food. To such an outstanding beast, defeating this human would be easy.
The tiger's thoughts were just as clear as Yan Xiaobao's, but he was neither angry nor arrogant. Blocking the sharp claws, he silently wielded his two swords. When they clashed, Yan Xiaobao was forced to take a step back. The power behind the tiger's attack was serious, and even though Yan Xiaobao was prepared, he was still surprised by the beast's strength. It was clear the challenge had significantly increased.
"Only Cai Jie has the ability to defeat this beast." Hui Yue muttered to himself as he activated Velocity Flow. Before he reappeared behind the beast, he vanished from the spot where he stood. A sword flashed across the room, and a low hiss sounded as the beast tried to dodge the sharp edge. Unfortunately, Hui Yue used Velocity Flow, and his speed far surpassed that of the Scorpion-tailed Tiger.
The now-injured tiger was far from being defeated and not completely angered. Yan Xiaobao had to use his Qi to push Velocity Flow to the limit to avoid the tail that flashed towards him, just missing by a hair's width. Although the scorpion tail was slow, its tail was very swift. Its tail made it difficult for Yan Xiaobao to attack, particularly because every time he moved to a new position, it would lash at him again, not letting him catch his breath.
Yan Xiaobao was fast, but so was the tail, and soon only a shadow flicker could be seen in the room. Yan Xiaobao never stayed long enough in one spot, making his figure nothing more than a blurry shadow. However, the tiger did not move swiftly, but its tail flickered everywhere. Watching the tail, it was clear it could extend and retract at will, as it continuously lashed at Yan Xiaobao's ever-changing position.
Yan Xiaobao had no concern for the Qi he used to maintain Velocity Flow. He was already a Saint, and Qi was something he had in abundance.
Suddenly, the black sword in Yan Xiaobao's hand disappeared. Before it was absorbed into the Cosmic Box, blue flame appeared in his hand. The heat produced by this flame was intense, even the fierce tiger recoiled slightly. The temperature within the room began to rise steadily, and as the size of the flame increased, a smile appeared on Yan Xiaobao's face.
This fireball was the first spiritual energy attack he had learned. Although he hadn't used it for a long time, he brought it out now for a reason. During his trial by fire, he managed to earn the World Power from the Ancestor World. Just a little bit of this energy flowed into his fireball, and the offensive power had already multiplied several times. Even if he used his Ancestor World Power, it was so minimal it was negligible. On the other hand, continuing the battle might lead to him getting hurt or wasting energy.
"Be thankful I won't cut you into pieces." Yan Xiaobao said slowly, as he wielded the fireball in his hand, then with a flicker of his fingers, made part of the fireball shoot towards the tiger at high speed. Its flight speed was so fast that the tiger couldn't react, and then a pained sound echoed in the room.
The beast did not die from this one fireball, but its fur caught fire, and it was clearly in pain as it lost all sense of reason in a frenzied state and charged at Yan Xiaobao. Foam began to appear around its mouth as it continued howling, its red eyes becoming completely feral, as its beastly instinct took over.
The beast that had once been in a major battle now entered a berserk state, despite gaining immense power, it lost the ability to think, which made it easier to attack. It no longer controlled its tail like a whip, meaning Yan Xiaobao didn't have to spend much time avoiding attacks. His Velocity Flow remained active, but now it was used just to easily avoid attacks, and then he would shoot one small fireball after another at the beast.
Although the beast would be reborn by the Nirvana Phoenix Flame, it was equally obvious that it was in severe pain. The pain inflicted upon it was so immense that it wished for death, as death was not a concern.
The more flames fell upon it, the more frantic its attacks became, but the beast grew increasingly unfocused. As the beast's consciousness dulled, its attacks became weaker. Finally, Yan Xiaobao used Velocity Flow to reach the side of the beast and decapitate it.
This was simple and swift, and as Yan Xiaobao looked at the beast before him, he almost saw a sense of gratitude in the eyes of this Scorpion-tailed Tiger.
