Soul Land V: Rebirth of Tang San

The innate bloodline ability of the Winged Tiger should be Wind Protective Energy, an integrated offensive and defensive power. Extremely formidable. Plus, it could fly, so there was no escaping.

On the other side, it was already quite an accomplishment for Elder Cheng to be able to hold back the King of Winged Tigers at the Ninth Stage. Therefore, at this moment, there was no one they could rely on but themselves.

Wu Bingji wasn\'t seeing things; the female tiger indeed paused twice in midair. One pause was due to Gu Li\'s Time Variation Seal, and the other, naturally, was Tang San\'s own doing. This was also his first time using the Time Variation Seal.

The instant he activated the Time Variation Seal, he felt a portion of his Spiritual Power being drained away, and everything around him distorted for a moment.

His Time Variation Seal was only at the Third Stage, and theoretically, its effect should not be as significant as Gu Li\'s; but Tang San\'s Spiritual Power had already liquefied and was much stronger than Gu Li\'s at the spiritual level, hence the Time Freeze effect he created was almost comparable.

In the instant the female tiger\'s movement stalled, Tang San made his move. He suddenly sprang up from the ice spear, which fell to the ground due to his stepping on it. Tang San\'s figure flickered vaguely in the air, and in the next moment, he had already avoided the female tiger\'s claws. Using the light from the Wind Protective Energy on the female tiger\'s claws to cover his tracks, his figure abruptly vanished.

Wu Bingji and the others just felt a blur before their eyes, and before they knew how, Tang San had already positioned himself above the female tiger\'s head.

Tang San was never a pedantic person, especially when facing a life-and-death crisis.

Flash Leopard Transformation!

In an instant, a flicker brought him directly above the female tiger\'s head. He fully activated his Controlling Crane Capturing Dragon skill, pulling himself towards it, and in an instant, he pounced onto the female tiger\'s back. He didn\'t attack directly but instead used the Mysterious Heaven Method to its full capacity, drawing energy like mad!

In fact, he didn\'t know if his ability to devour the energy of Monsters would work on Demon Beasts, but he did know that it was his only chance.

To survive this attack from the female tiger, he had to do two things: strengthen himself and weaken the enemy.

"Boom—" A massive surge of bloodline power almost instantly rushed into Tang San\'s body.

Success! That was Tang San\'s first thought. But in the next moment, the female tiger had already reacted, and its Wind Protective Energy erupted violently. A tremendous outburst of energy sent Tang San flying.

He was blasted dozens of meters into the air, breaking through a large swath of treetops.

At the moment of the Wind Protective Energy\'s explosion, Tang San had already sensed it, but his goal had been achieved. During that brief devouring, what he had absorbed was the bloodline power from the female tiger\'s back near her heart, where her lifeblood was concentrated and the bloodline power was the richest.

In that suction, Tang San hadn\'t considered whether his body could withstand it or not, as his Mysterious Heaven Skill at the peak of the Fifth Stage instantly ascended to its limit.

Due to the influence of the two Time Variation Seals, the female tiger was without Wind Protective Energy defense at that instant, allowing Tang San to take a solid and full draw.

To Wu Bingji and the others, however, the Tang San being blasted into the air looked extremely miserable. Blood was spurting from his mouth and his clothes had burst open. His life or death was uncertain.

"Ahhh—" Wu Bingji cried out, instantly throwing the ice cone he had been condensing, and with his Ice Element Body fully unleashed, charged straight toward the female tiger.

Gu Li did the same. At that moment, the grief in his heart had overcome fear. They didn\'t know what Tang San had done when he rushed up, but when Tang San was blasted away, the bloodline suppression from the female tiger on them had clearly been reduced by half.

Tang San was likely not going to make it, so he went all out!

At the very least, they needed to buy time for Cheng Zicheng and Du Bai to escape, to allow their junior brothers and sisters to flee.

The mother tiger, upon being sucked in by Tang San, even with its Seventh Stage peak cultivation base, felt a sensation of complete weakness throughout its body. The clothes on Tang San that burst in the air weren\'t shattered by the Wind Protective Energy, but because he had absorbed too much energy at once, his body couldn\'t bear it, and the energy dissipating from his pores shattered them.

"Bang!" Wu Bingji was sent flying by a swipe of the paw, his body protection ice armor largely shattered. If it weren\'t for the Time Variation Seal that Gu Li forcefully activated at the moment of impact, that strike would likely have cost him half his life.

Gu Li, in a frenzy, managed to hit the mother tiger\'s right paw mid-swing with his tail hammer, causing it to hit the ground. But in the next instant, he was sent flying by the mother tiger\'s left paw. Sharp claws left five deep, bone-revealing gashes on his body. Even the Time Crocodile\'s thick scale armor couldn\'t completely block the slashing of those tiger claws, and blood spurted out.

If it hadn\'t been for Tang San\'s sucking action, which left the mother tiger too weak to muster strength, Gu Li would have been dead.

The gap was too great. Their attacks couldn\'t break through the defenses of the Seventh Stage Winged Tiger, whereas each attack from the Winged Tiger posed a threat to their lives.

Wu Bingji struggled to right himself and sit up, as ice cones continuously shot towards the mother tiger\'s eyes, trying to distract her. But just like the previous ice cones shot at the mother tiger, they were shattered to pieces by the Wind Protective Energy in an instant.

At this moment, Tang San, who had been sent flying into the air earlier, was now plummeting down. The mother tiger was clearly more resentful towards this first human it had launched into the sky.

It didn\'t pursue Wu Bingji and Gu Li but instead suddenly raised its head, its wings on its back flapping as it leaped straight into the air. Its gaping maw opened wide, its massive fangs aiming straight for Tang San.

If it managed to bite him, Tang San would undoubtedly die. He would directly become its food.

"No–" Wu Bingji shouted loudly, and in an instant, his Ice element body burst forth explosively. His back erupted in an ice wall, but it also propelled his body like a shooting star after the moon, rushing straight towards the mother tiger.

His time in contact with Tang San had not been long, but in this short half a month, he had learned a lot from Tang San. He could sense that this junior brother, who merely had the lower-ranked Wind Wolf Transformation, possessed an astonishingly brilliant talent. Despite being only nine years old, Wu Bingji felt not only admiration but also deep respect for him.

"Freeze!" A hoarse roar also erupted at this moment.

Gu Li, his entire body drenched in blood, exerted all his strength to unleash this furious roar. Intense white light mixed with the crimson of his blood, shining the brightest Time Freeze of his life.

The mother tiger, leaping into the sky, noticeably slowed, its wings stiffening, its body still ascending due to inertia, but the gaping maw couldn\'t close due to the freezing effect.

"Freeze!" A familiar voice sounded in Wu Bingji\'s ears right then.

Even though the explosion of the ice wall had left his back a bloody mess, Wu Bingji managed to remain lucid at this critical moment.

The ice spears he had stabbed out exploded, and he suddenly spread his arms. His body, covered in ice blue, embraced the thick neck of the mother tiger upon impact.

The ice blue instantly spread across the mother tiger\'s entire body. The Sixth Stage Ice element body, with all its strength, attempted to freeze the mother tiger.

The azure figure falling from the sky somersaulted and curled up. Against that immense tiger maw, he didn\'t dodge but instead rolled right into it.

The mother tiger watched helplessly as he fell into her mouth, but that instant of Time Freeze and the chilling freeze on her body, especially her head, made her bite just a beat too slow.

At the next moment, dazzling azure light burst forth in her mouth. The mother tiger let out a heart-wrenching roar as a cloud of thick blood mist mixed with azure light was violently expelled from her mouth.
