Chapter 505: Bloodblaze Flight Technique (1/2)
The chaotic forces had only just subsided when a monstrous creature the size of a small mountain appeared before Chen Feng. It was a tiger yao and sharp fur – emanating a dazzling multi-coloured shine – covered its whole body. Next, exuding the aura of a king of beasts, it pounced at Chen Feng.
“Tsk, tsk, what a big tiger yao!” Observing the humongous, three-zhang-tall, multi-coloured tiger standing before him, Chen Feng grew shocked. While he had encountered large yao beasts before, this was his first time seeing such a large tiger.
Sou! Sou!
The Twin Swords of Life and Death flew out to circle around Chen Feng. This tiger yao’s power was extraordinary. Although it had yet to cultivate up to the Great King stage, it could still be considered a top existence amongst Great Yaos. Without utilizing the Sacred artefacts, Chen Feng had no confidence in his ability to handle it. Disregarding the Roaring Tiger Shockwave move that it had unleashed earlier, even the aura that it was radiating was enough to subdue everything.
“Sacred artefacts!”
Seeing the two swords circling around Chen Feng, a look of dread immediately appeared within the tiger yao’s eyes. It stopped itself from pouncing forward.
“Yes, they are Sacred artefacts. Tiger, you have quite the discerning eyes,” Chen Feng said smilingly.
“You humans only know how to rely on magic treasures! Given how weak your fleshly bodies are, without your magic treasures, I can beat you to death!” The tiger yao stared at Chen Feng, revealing a look of ridicule.
“Ha ha!” Chen Feng simply laughed. It was true. The body of a yao beast was far stronger than the human body. However, there was no absolutes in the world. If their cultivation levels were the same, the might of Chen Feng’s fleshly body would have allowed him to take the tiger yao head on. However, now was not the time to be quibbling about that.
“Looks like you want to fight,” Chen Feng said and the Twin Swords of Life and Death promptly shone with white and black light. The two auras that they were emanating distorted the surrounding space.
“Human, this is my territory!” Looking at the Twin Swords of Life and Death, the look of dread within the tiger yao’s eyes grew. The tiger yao could sense danger from the two swords. It had no confidence in its ability to block the attacks from the two swords.
“So what if this is your territory? It is not as though I had offended you in any way. I only wanted to head forward. Since you want to obstruct me, we can have a fight.” Chen Feng also did not want to start a mutually destructive battle with this tiger yao. His objective was the spirit stone mine up ahead, after all.
The tiger yao grew hesitant before asking, “You are not here for the spiritual herbs here?”
“He he! If you are willing to give me the spiritual herbs, I don’t mind.” Chen Feng nodded.
“As long as you are not here for the spiritual herbs, you may pass.” Although there was hardness within the tiger yao’s voice, the antagonistic quality within it had lessened somewhat.
“Not having to fight is for the best. I have no desire to start a mutually destructive fight. It is not beneficial for either of us,” Chen Feng said, nodding.
The two of them were just about to make peace with one another when the tiger yao’s face suddenly sank. Intense killing intent shone from its eyes. “Despicable human! You were actually using the lure the tiger out from the mountain plot! Just you wait, I will settle this with you later!”
The tiger yao roared, turned around and rushed far away. With a leap, it disappeared from sight.
Chen Feng was shocked and he was momentarily confused as to what the tiger yao meant. However, he quickly understood. It was highly likely that some other cultivator had gone over to the tiger yao’s territory to pluck its spiritual herbs while it was confronting Chen Feng.
I wonder who the other fellow is? This is quite a coincidence. I wasn’t planning on staying here, but now that something unexpected has happened, I should go check it out. I love fishing in troubled waters. Chen Feng made up his mind and swiftly followed the tiger yao.
Chen Feng fired up his Void acupoint and his figure disappeared into thin air, allowing him to hide himself and execute sneak attacks.
“Roar!”
After rushing forward for a bit, Chen Feng heard the tiger yao’s roar. Next, came the sounds of cultivators shouting and fighting.
Judging by the resulting racket, it is at least a level 7 Sky Human stage cultivator. Additionally, there are more than one of them. Chen Feng speculated. When Chen Feng first saw the tiger yao earlier, he had understood why many of the cultivators here would decide against coming over. All else aside, if there were seven or eight Great Yaos at this tiger yao’s level, entering would mean near-certain death.
By the time Chen Feng arrived, the tiger yao had already become entrapped within a magic array. The tiger yao roared furiously as it charged at the magic array. However, even though the magic array was continuously shaking, it did not break. Instead, the surrounding cultivators continued to form and send more magic seals into the magic array, causing it to grow stronger and more stable.
The tiger yao is in a bad spot. Once its power is exhausted, it will end up getting captured. This is quite a good magic array. Although its offensive power is only average, its ability to restrain its target is very strong. Chen Feng was quick to analyse the situation.
“This tiger yao is already trapped. Liu Guang, Qian Hong, you two go pick up the spiritual herbs.” A young, stern-faced cultivator who was standing on a 100-zhang-tall tree gave the order.
What a coincidence. They are from Nine Firmaments Palace! Chen Feng’s eyes lit up.
Liu Guang and Qian Hong were the two cultivators from Nine Firmaments Palace who had attacked Chen Feng when he was still outside this pocket dimension. Both of them were level 8 Sky Human stage cultivators. Back then, Lei Feng had stopped them.
