Chapter 125: Chapter 124 Lucky Break
The mother tiger painfully hugged her head with her double tiger claws, seemingly trying to disperse the pain from her head, but at this time, blood was flowing out of her seven orifices. A massive amount of blood gushed out in her frantic struggle.
The body of a Seventh Stage monster was incredibly resilient, and it was itself extraordinarily tough. However, toughness was only external. Inside its body, it was still made of flesh and blood.
Tang San, who descended from the sky, landed in its wide-open maw. From the inside out, destruction erupted, as wind blades exploded in its mouth, piercing through its brain and shredding its internal flesh.
Moreover, that was not just from Tang San\'s power, but also from the mother tiger\'s own strength.
When Tang San was blasted into the sky by its Wind Protective Energy, the huge bloodline power that surged into his body almost burst him open.
But Tang San didn\'t panic, because this was already within his expectations.
As that vast bloodline energy flowed into his body, the first thing that happened was that the bottleneck of Mysterious Heaven Skill\'s sixth level was instantly broken through.
This was also one of the important goals Tang San had when he got close to the mother tiger. The Mysterious Heaven Skill, needing to break through the sixth level\'s bottleneck, required a huge amount of energy. Although the bloodline energy of the demon beast was mixed, the energy of an Eighth Stage Winged Tiger was still too abundant. So abundant that even after filtration, it was still enough to fulfill his needs.
The Mysterious Heaven Skill was already operating to its limit within Tang San\'s body at that moment, forcibly protecting his meridians from being burst open by the violent bloodline power.
The blood that Tang San spewed out was also a venting of excess bloodline energy, expelling some of the impurities within it.
When he descended from the sky, he had already regained control of his body.
He was now very grateful for having taken the risk to integrate the Heavenly Fox Transformation earlier. At this very moment, the control he had over his body was so finely tuned under the effect of his liquified Spiritual Power. The difficulty of this control was something only Tang San himself knew.
At the same time, he had to credit his experiences from his past lives, with experience in operating various levels of spiritual power, which allowed him to still control the rampant energy within his body in such extreme circumstances.
In such a short amount of time, it was impossible for him to absorb that huge amount of energy, but instead, he directly unleashed it. As his body fell into the mouth, he detonated it.
His target was originally the mother tiger\'s eyes, which were relatively fragile. He had just advanced to the Sixth Stage Cultivation base, and with the bloodline power absorbed from the mother tiger, there was a good chance of breaking through its defense.
But he hadn\'t expected that at such a time, Wu Bingji and Gu Li would join forces to create an even better opportunity for him. It made it possible for him to dive deep into the tiger\'s mouth.
With the violent energy burst from the Mysterious Jade Hands, it almost instantly vented inside the mother tiger\'s softest oral cavity. That wild energy was so explosive that even Tang San\'s Mysterious Jade Hands could barely withstand it, and a cloud of blood mist burst on the surface of his skin. One can imagine how violent that instant venting was.
When Tang San was ejected, his body was injured again, but the mother tiger was clearly already dying at this point.
The sturdiest defenses are breached from the inside, and Tang San fully demonstrated this principle.
He landed on the ground, barely able to stabilize his figure, while Gu Li, who had exerted all his strength and overdrawn his energy, and Wu Bingji, who was thrown out and lay on the ground, were both already in a coma.
In that brief battle, all three had exerted their utmost, knowing that any slight mishap during the process would have inevitably led to their demise under the tiger\'s jaws.
"Aooo—" A mournful roar echoed in the distance. A huge green light soared into the sky, shattering a vast expanse of red light.
Terrible pressure erupted manically, and at this moment, the mother tiger had already fallen to the ground, vomiting blood in great gulps, its eyes quickly dimming.
Tang San\'s expression changed drastically. Of course, he knew what was happening; the King of Winged Tigers had felt his mate\'s impending death and had exploded in rage. Elder Zhang Haoxuan couldn\'t hold back any longer.
The hatred for killing a son, the resentment for killing a wife. One can only imagine the terrifying attacks that the Ninth-stage King of Winged Tigers would unleash in such a state.
Tang San barely managed to support his body as he turned back to look. His condition was extremely poor, his meridians were in chaos, his breath disordered; he was in no shape to fight again.
The huge silhouette of the King of Winged Tigers had already appeared in the distant sky, but at that moment, Tang San saw a gleaming red light shooting up into the heavens.
That red light was extremely bright, and the moment it appeared, the entire sky was illuminated with its red glow, as resplendent as the evening clouds.
The intense green light emanating from the body of the King of Winged Tigers was suppressed in that instant. As the red light swept past, the King of Winged Tigers let out a miserable scream, its massive body no longer able to maintain flight. The green Wind Protective Energy on its body was clearly slashed through as it fell diagonally toward the distance.
Such a powerful strike. Tang San\'s gaze became fixed for a moment. Could the Elder truly be this powerful?
The King of Winged Tigers obviously suffered a serious injury and fled, not even caring to rescue its mate any longer. And at this moment, the light in the eyes of the mother tiger finally went out, signaling its absolute death.
This Seventh Stage peak tiger, already very close to the Eighth Stage, just like that, fell at the hands of Tang San and his comrades.
The red figure was like a streak of light, flying swiftly towards them.
When Zhang Haoxuan saw Tang San and quickly descended, his eyes widened in an instant.
The first thought in his mind was, it\'s over, it\'s all over.
Cheng Zicheng and Du Bai were nowhere to be seen. Wu Bingji and Gu Li lay on the ground, their life and death unknown, leaving only Tang San still struggling to support himself.
What Tang San noticed, however, was the Long Knife in Zhang Haoxuan\'s hands, a dark red Long Knife that seemed neither of gold nor jade, radiating a fierce red glow. Without a doubt, that earth-shattering red gleam was sliced from this Long Knife.
"Teacher...," Tang San coughed up a mouthful of blood, then slumped to the ground, finally unable to hold on any longer.
"They..." Zhang Haoxuan\'s voice trembled slightly. These were some of the most outstanding students of this session, how could he explain to the organization if something happened to them all?
Tang San shook his head, "They\'re fine. Sister Chengzi and Du Bai left first. The three of us covered the rear and luckily killed the mother tiger. Please hurry and check on the other two brothers."
Upon hearing that Cheng Zicheng and Du Bai had already left, Zhang Haoxuan immediately breathed a huge sigh of relief. Du Bai\'s Heavenly Fox Eye was too important. Cheng Zicheng\'s Golden Peng Transformation was also very powerful. It was truly a stroke of luck that these two kids were alive and had not perished under the tiger\'s claws.
Zhang Haoxuan wasted no time and quickly went to check on Wu Bingji and Gu Li.
Wu Bingji had serious injuries, with at least four or five ribs broken, his breath was weak but still sustained, not threatening his life.
Gu Li had passed out due to mental exhaustion, but his vital signs were fairly normal, although his spiritual fluctuations were clearly a bit unstable.
But at least, both kids were still alive!
"Alive, that\'s good, as long as they\'re alive..." Zhang Haoxuan muttered to himself. Only now could he breathe a sigh of relief, and with a mouthful, he spat out a mouthful of fresh blood.
Wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth, he gathered Wu Bingji and Gu Li close to Tang San. The Flame Long Knife in his hand slowly melded into his right arm and disappeared.
"Teacher, that knife strike of yours was truly amazing!" Tang San exclaimed in admiration.
Zhang Haoxuan frowned deeply, "Damaging the enemy a thousandfold, self-harming eight hundredfold, what\'s there to be amazing about that? It\'s an attack that requires building up momentum. Otherwise, I wouldn\'t have delayed for so long. Chengzi and Du Bai..."
