Chapter 198 - I Must Go (1/2)

As Ou Yangming and his companions watched in fear, a strange creature slowly walked out from the dark.

It was a big multicolored tiger with striking fur, making it out of tune with its surroundings. The tiger had such an incredibly strong presence that it became the center of attraction as soon as it appeared.

Having fur like that would only make it difficult for the big multicolored tiger to survive in the dense forest, which had a unique environment. It would do nothing but harm for the tiger when it hunted, and the tiger would likely draw the attention of creatures that were more powerful than it. Even then, the big tiger appeared in those furs.

The tiger was extremely arrogant, and a look of disdain could be seen through its bright eyes.

It was as though the three humans in front of it were clowns that could be easily killed if it made an attack.

Ou Yangming and the others scanned the big tiger’s body and quickly fixed their gaze on its tail.

Before they came, Ni Jingshen had stressed several times how mighty the unusual beast was. In particular, its tail was its only reliance.

Just as Ou Yangming and the rest focused on the big tiger’s tail, the tail slowly bent up as if it was alerted.

It was not a tiger’s tail-it was a venomous snake.

The tiger’s tail was covered in thick scales, and the end of it was a hideous triangle snakehead.

At that moment, the venomous snake was staring at Ou Yangming and his partners, but it looked a little confused like it found it strange that the three of them could identify it at one glance.

The snake was incredibly intelligent, which was why its eyes looked as lively as a person’s. Nonetheless, Ou Yangming and the others did not find it strange because formidable half-spirit beasts had long surpa.s.sed wild beasts in terms of their traits.

It would be clear if they thought about Big Yellow from the Ni family.

That said, it was not good news for Ou Yangming and his allies.

The big multicolored tiger opened its large mouth, which was the size of a sacrificial bowl, and yawned. Judging from its sleepy eyes, it had not awakened yet. The big tiger acted as though it had just seen three bold little insects entering its territory, which was a completely different att.i.tude shown by the venomous snake that had a cold look.

He Liangce held his folding fan tightly when he sensed the beast’s threatening aura, and he ordered softly, “Take her away!”

“No!” Ni Yinghong responded stubbornly.

“Okay.” Nevertheless, Ou Yangming agreed resolutely unlike before. He uttered, “Stall it for now—I’ll come back!”

Ni Yinghong was stunned, but before she could refute, Ou Yangming had already reached out his hand to confine her body in a flash, then he exerted force through his feet to soar into the air. Once they were in mid-air, Ou Yangming turned around and stepped on a branch before he dashed away like he was flying. After struggling for a while, Ni Yinghong realized that he could not resist the powerful Ou Yangming at all.

Although some of her pieces of equipment were layered with Power attributes, the equipment set was smithed by Ou Yangming. Since he could attach Unique Attributes to her equipment, he would not treat himself badly.

Therefore, Ou Yangming was superior to her, be it his power or his agility.

He Liangce moved his lips and had a strange look on his face. If someone could lipread, that person could definitely tell that he was cursing softly, “Come back? Are you coming back to court your death?”

Soon enough, the big multicolored tiger looked more awake. It opened its mouth and let out an earth-shattering roar.

“Roar…”

Its roar was accompanied by an intense sound wave that impacted the area in front of it.

Ou Yangming paused; it was obvious he was affected by the sound wave’s impact.

The sound seemed to carry an unconventional power that could directly hit one’s spiritual world. Despite that, due to Ou Yangming’s great mental power, he only paused for a split second before he recovered his normal state. Moreover, he escaped faster than before. On the other hand, the big multicolored tiger was finally enraged. After all, any powerhouse would be displeased to see intruders escape.

The tiger crouched a little and charged out like a cannonball. It wanted to catch up to the two little insects to crush them into pieces.

However, just as its body left the ground, an enormous power came straight at it from the side.

Both parties clashed hard like Mars cras.h.i.+ng into Earth.

Even though the big multicolored tiger had a huge body and vast energy, it was in mid-air at that moment, hence it could not borrow force. Most importantly, it did not expect the remaining little insect to have the guts to challenge its dignity. A booming sound was heard as the big tiger was crushed down.

The Tiger-tail Snake’s[1] head shook all of a sudden and widened its frightening mouth to bite He Liangce. In spite of that, He Liangce was well-prepared, so he blocked the snake’s mouth perfectly with his folding fan. The creature’s mouth was extremely sharp, but not even a white mark was left on the fan.

He Liangce flashed and stood still, but he was appalled.

While the tiger’s roar could affect one’s mind, he had taken precautions in advance and had brought a treasure that could resist it. As such, the beast’s roar could not impact him.

Hence, He Liangce’s crash into the big multicolored tiger just now was absolutely unintentional. Even then, the outcome was he only managed to obstruct the tiger and caused it to roll on the ground. He did not cause any real damage.

The impact, which was a result of him gathering all his power, could not destroy the big multicolored tiger’s defense at all.

He Liangce smiled bitterly because he knew he could not fight the battle.

The young master could only stall for as much time as he could at the moment, then he would wait for an opportunity to escape. That being said, He Liangce was not confident he could safely escape from the fearsome half-spirit beast.

Later on, the big multicolored tiger roared furiously. Its attention was drawn by the two little insects that escaped just now, but its anger was fully vented out on He Liangce.

Besides the big tiger, the snakehead looked up and glared at He Liangce sinisterly as if it had strong hatred toward him.

He Liangce smiled calmly without joy or sorrow in his eyes. He expressed fearlessly, “Come at me. If I can’t even stall you, how will I be qualified to go against it…”

The big multicolored tiger seemed to have sensed He Liangce scorning it, thus it became more infuriated. Consequently, it stomped its foot and charged at its enemy at the speed of light.
