C16 (1/2)
Just as Xiao Li and the other two were at a loss, a fishy wind came from behind them. Xiao Li hurriedly said, ”Disperse.” At the same time, he rolled forward. Mu Long and Tian Liu also rolled forward when they heard this.
After rolling, the three of them immediately stood up, still forming a triangular formation, but now they all turned around and stood leaning back. As soon as they turned around, they couldn't help but take three large steps back. It was because in front of them stood a huge, white-furred tiger. The three of them couldn't help but retreat as they were intimidated by its power.
This tiger's entire body was snow-white without a single hair mixed in. It was at least twice the size of an ordinary tiger. Its tail was as big as a leg, and its head was as big as a fight. Its mouth was sucking a hole. It squatted in front of Xiao Li and glared at him with a domineering aura.
When Xiao Li saw this tiger, he was also shocked. He had never thought that a tiger could be this big. In the past, a tiger was still called a tiger. In front of a beast king, it was like a kitten. This was the true king of beasts. When Xiao Li saw it glaring at him, he thought of something. Oh, so it turned out that he had used all his strength to roll forward, avoiding the attack from it, offending its Tiger Might.
Xiao Li hurriedly waved his hands at Mu Long and Tian Six, telling them to retreat and stand by the side. His heart was pounding. He had never seen a tiger like this before, so he didn't know if he could beat it or not. However, Mu Long and Tian Liu were no match for him. If he stayed here, it would only add to his casualties. Furthermore, he would have to split his focus to take care of them.
Mu Long and Tian Liu both knew what was going on. When they saw his hand gesture and then looked at the tiger, they obediently stood far away with their bows in hand. They would risk their lives to save Xiao Li when he was in danger.
Xiao Li saw that they were standing far away and did not have any worries. He looked at the White Tiger. Although he was not confident, he could not avoid facing it. When Xiao Li saw it accumulating strength, he waited patiently. His expression didn't change as he composed himself and hooked his index finger at it.
The White Tiger had already harbored hatred towards Xiao Li for a long time, and now that it saw Xiao Li belittling it so much, it charged up with its hind legs and charged towards Xiao Li like an arrow, its forelegs half bent. Xiao Li already knew he could trigger the White Tiger's attack when he was doing that action, so he was prepared.
When Xiao Li saw how fierce the White Tiger's pounce was, he leapt forward and grabbed a horizontal branch from his head. With a slight shake, he climbed up a big tree like a monkey.
Mu Long and Tian Liu saw the opportunity and shot their arrows straight at the white tiger's neck. After the White Tiger landed, it turned around and roared at the two arrows, causing the two arrows to fall onto the ground.
Xiao Li, Mu Long, and Tian Six all felt their feet trembling, their eardrums swelling, and they felt a little dizzy. Startled, Xiao Li said to Mu Long and the rest, ”Don't shoot anymore arrows.” He discovered that this White Tiger seemed to have brains, being able to scheme against Mu Long and the others' sneak attacks. When the White Tiger heard Xiao Li's words, it glanced at Mu Long and the others before circling around the tree Xiao Li was on before clawing at the tree trunk with its claws. Although the tree was sturdy, it still couldn't withstand its iron claws. Immediately, wood shavings flew everywhere.
When Xiao Li saw how smart this tiger was, he became even more apprehensive. He thought, ”As expected of the King of Beasts.”
As Xiao Li saw it continuously chopping down the tree, he thought that it would be better to take the initiative and attack when the tree falls. As soon as he thought of this, Xiao Li's hind legs retracted and his hands half-bent. Every muscle in his body immediately tensed up like a bowstring. This movement was something he had learnt from the leopard. After he made this movement, the zhenqi on his body immediately circulated and flowed to his hands and feet. When Xiao Li's hands and feet were filled with true energy, he used his feet to shoot towards the tree trunk. Using this momentum, he shot down towards the White Tiger with a 'sou' sound.
Although the White Tiger was trying its best to chop down the big tree, it seemed to know that Xiao Li would attack it. Upon hearing the sound, its entire body shrank and stretched. With a roar, it pounced towards Xiao Li.
Mu Long and Tian Liu stood far away and were shocked to see Xiao Li take the initiative to attack the White Tiger. Seeing the White Tiger pounce towards Xiao Li made them so worried that their hearts almost fell to their throats. The two of them suddenly closed their eyes, unable to bear to watch any longer.
All they could hear was a loud bang that drowned out the White Tiger's roar, and then with a plop that sounded like something heavy sticking out of the ground, they all quieted down.
Mu Long and Tian Liu discovered that the surroundings were quiet. They immediately opened their eyes and saw Xiao Li standing beside the White Tiger, but the White Tiger was still struggling on the ground.
Xiao Li had no choice but to use the leopard's pounce. The White Tiger also ran towards him. When Xiao Li saw that it was coming for him, he went all out and used all his strength to fight the White Tiger Palm's claw head on. Although Xiao Li's strength was not as good as that of White Tiger, he was still channeling the Zhen Qi within his body. When he clashed with the white tiger, his zhen qi rushed out with a bang. Not only did it dissipate the majority of the white tiger's power, it also broke the white tiger's claws.
Although the White Tiger was very intelligent, it didn't expect Xiao Li to have an ability that it couldn't comprehend. As a result, it had a nine out of ten chance of winning, and it ended up being defeated with a single palm strike.
