Roar!
The roar that Little White let out shook the entire surroundings, its ferocity no less than that of an Intermediate Demon beast. Ever since Little White had started following Xiang Shaoyun, this was the first time it had let out such a ferocious roar. Such a roar would force tens of thousands of Minor Demon beasts to submit and drive away Intermediate ones.
Similarly, the fiery beak eagle was startled to the point where its body started to s.h.i.+ver. In the very next moment, Little White bit at the fiery beak eagle. Although Little White was still a mere cub, it was still a tiger at its core, boasting a strong bite. With that, it bit straight into the fiery beak eagle's flesh.
Crying out in pain, the fiery beak eagle vigorously shook its body, trying to throw Little White off. However, Little White firmly held on with its teeth, refusing to be flung off. Starting to panic, the fiery beak eagle's wings rippled with hot qi, attempting to force Little White off with its heat.
However, no matter what it did, Little White refused to budge. After constantly trying to get the persistent tiger cub off its back, the fiery beak eagle ended up flying haphazardly and lost its balance, cras.h.i.+ng straight into the peak of the mountain. Upon seeing this, Xiang Shaoyun became uncontrollably furious.
”Little White!” Xiang Shaoyun yelled with all the strength he could muster. He began madly ascending the face of the cliff once more. This time, he threw all caution to the wind, choosing to climb as fast as he possibly could even if it cost him his life.
Although Little White was a mere cub, it had gone through thick and thin with Xiang Shaoyun in recent times. To Xiang Shaoyun, he had already regarded the young tiger as a close companion. He definitely did not wish to see anything untoward happening to Little White.
What was initially thought to be a journey of more than two hours was concluded in barely an hour after Xiang Shaoyun chose to speed up. Skipping the process of recovering his energy, he sprinted to the peak of the mountain. Unfortunately for him, not only did he not encounter Little White even after repeated attempts of searching for him, he even came across a python beast that was an Intermediate Demon.
It took Xiang Shaoyun quite a bit of effort before he managed to barely kill off the python. Slicing open the midsection of the python, Xiang Shaoyun removed its gallbladder and swallowed it whole.
The terrible taste of the gallbladder left Xiang Shaoyun feeling horrible. However, he did not have the luxury of time to stop and heal himself. He kept forging on, searching for Little White's footsteps. Not long after, he chanced upon members of the Mad Lion Hunting Group. Just as he was about to avoid them, the other party spotted his movements.
”And where did you come from? You actually managed to sneak by the group at the bottom of the mountain! Li Hui, go and capture him!” the leader of the party yelled.
”Understood!” the person named Li Hui replied then charged at Xiang Shaoyun, riding on a flaming tiger.
Xiang Shaoyun pushed his Overlord's Nine Nether Steps to its very limit, running away from the scene as fast as he could. However, the flaming tiger was still an Intermediate Demon. It had a faster speed, and it was closing the gap on Xiang Shaoyun, slowly but surely.
”Brat, I don't care who you are, but you aren't escaping from me today!” Li Hui cackled viciously.
Li Hui had clearly reached the peak of second-stage Astral Realm, just short of the third stage by a little. His fighting prowess was immense. As he drew closer to Xiang Shaoyun, he directly leaped off the Flaming Tiger, the huge saber in his hand flying straight at Xiang Shaoyun.
The huge saber boasted tyrannical power, astral energy condensing around its edges as it began to glow. The Overlord's Nine Nether Steps lived up to its reputation of being a top-tier movement technique. As Xiang Shaoyun's strength increased, the maximum speed he could deploy correspondingly increased. As such, he tumbled to the right, barely managing to dodge the vicious saber blow.
Pow!
A thick tree in front of the duo was instantly obliterated by Li Hui's saber energy, bursting into smithereens.
”You d.a.m.ned slippery eel!” Li Hui cursed, seeing that his attack had missed Xiang Shaoyun.
”I'm just a pa.s.ser-by! If you continue chasing me, then I'll kill you!” Xiang Shaoyun yelled in reply.
”Heheh, if you have the ability to do so, then stop running!” Li Hui madly screeched.
”Then I'll do just that!” Xiang Shaoyun actually came to a halt, sending a fist straight at Li Hui.
