BXBX NOVEL Chapter 106: Kamikaze
Elder Jing narrowed her eyes on the action as she parried his claws before moving to the right side.
Afterward, Elder Jing made a vertical slash down at the Hellflame Tiger with her sword.
CLANK!
“Tch, not even a scratch.” Elder Jing cursed when the sword couldn’t even penetrate its body slightly.
However, this was expected as she kicked the ground to retreat backward to avoid the Hellflame Tiger’s retaliation.
Right as Elder Jing retreated, the Hellflame Tiger twitched its brow as he roared loudly to chase after Elder Jing, clearly enraged by her audacity.
With a leap, the Hellflame Tiger caught up with Elder Jing instantly, and right as it was about to claw onto Elder Jing, Yang Wei came from behind and raised his sword to hack the Hellflame Tiger down.
The Hellflame Tiger merely snorted at Yang Wei’s futile effort as he was confident in his durable body to be able to deflect any sharp weapon.
“Heh, underestimating your opponent is a big mistake, Hellflame Tiger,” Yang Wei smirked at the Hellflame Tiger’s nonchalant expression, almost like he didn’t even bother about his appearance.
Yang Wei quickly called out Xiao Wei, shocking the Hellflame Tiger as he felt a sudden pressure from Xiao Wei.
Yang Wei curved his lips upward as the Hellflame Tiger could no longer dodge because of their close range and Xiao Wei sliced right through the Hellflame Tiger as it attempted to destroy his core completely.
The Hellflame Tiger realized his haughty behavior had caused him to lose this fight but he wasn’t going to let Yang Wei and Elder Jing off for defeating him.
In his last-ditch of effort, the Hellflame Tiger used all of his remaining true qi to launch a Flame Burst, causing Elder Jing and Yang Wei to curse inwardly as they felt the full impact.
BOOOOOM!
Yang Wei and Elder Jing’s projection was destroyed as they returned to their original body, reappearing back in the array.
Yang Wei and Elder Jing stared at each other with a bittersweet smile.
They managed to kill the Hellflame Tiger with the help of Xiao Wei but they were finished off by the Hellflame Tiger as well.
“The Hellflame Tiger actually resorted to a kamikaze tactic to ruin us,” Yang Wei cursed loudly at the despicable act of the Hellflame Tiger.
“Sigh, we have tried our best already.” Elder Jing said bitterly as she shook her head.
Afterward, she stepped off the array and Yang Wei followed behind as he waited for the next instruction.
“Are we going to leave the Pagoda now?” Yang Wei asked softly.
Elder Jing didn’t say anything but nodded her head in response. The trial was too difficult for them to pass and she was already happy to be able to achieve this result.
“Since the inheritance of the Pagoda seemed to go parallel against us then we could only accept our fate,” Elder Jing said and continued.
“Let’s just wait for Senior Zhong Guowei to appear now and kick us out.”
Afterward, Elder Jing sat in a lotus position to calm her emotion and started to recover her true qi.
Although the Hellflame Tiger destroyed their projection which had no impact on their actual cultivation base, Elder Jing wanted to make sure there was no problem.
Yang Wei had nothing to do as well so he followed Elder Jing’s example and sat in a lotus position to comprehend the battle he just experienced.
Sometime later, a voice suddenly echoed from afar, causing Elder Jing and Yang Wei to stop cultivating as they perked their ears up to listen carefully.
“Hahaha, the two of you actually managed to kill the Hellflame Tiger but what an unfortunate outcome because it managed to kill the both of you in the end.”
Senior Zhong Guowei’s gloating words were irritating for Elder Jing and Yang Wei.
Elder Jing clenched her fist in anger but decided to take multiple breaths to calm down because she was powerless against him.
Fighting in an unfavorable position was an idiotic move and she had already done that once for the Hellflame Tiger. Hence, Elder Jing had no intention of committing the same mistakes twice.
“You can show us the exit already without gloating on us much,” Elder Jing said calmly.
“Un, you don’t need to humiliate us any further so please show us the exit, Senior Zhong Guowei,” Yang Wei added.
However, there was complete silence in the room, almost like Senior Zhong Guowei had vanished once again.
“Does he intend on making us stay here forever?” Yang Wei mumbled softly as he was a bit worried.
Meanwhile, Elder Jing held a solemn expression as she found this mysterious realm and the Pagoda is acting extremely weirdly when compared to the last time.
The last time she came here, there wasn’t a person like Senior Zhong Guowei to guide her and she had to figure everything out by herself on how to activate the trial and the conditions to pass it.
‘Just what is going on here?’ Elder Jing exclaimed inwardly as she looked around her, hoping to find an exit or some sort of teleportation array to get out of this room.
“Yang Wei, try to find a teleportation array or something abnormal since we’ll have to find the exit ourselves,” Elder Jing said as she walked around the room.
Yang Wei nodded his head slightly before walking in the opposite direction of Elder Jing to split their focus and try to find something.
Sometime later, after searching every nook and cranny, Yang Wei and Elder Jing returned to the center of the room.
“Any luck on your side?” Elder Jing then asked.
Yang Wei shook his head in response, “There is nothing beside the walls standing tall without any exit or teleportation array.”
Elder Jing heaved a soft sigh as she decided to condense her true qi into her fist before she dashed toward a wall and punched it with her full strength, causing Yang Wei to be dumbfounded by her sudden action.
