Chapter 186: Chapter 185: Watching Indifferently
The Cat Demon, on the other hand, displayed astonishing speed, flickering rapidly through the air. The Sixth Stage Bear Demon blocked the front, coordinating with the Cat Demon to attack.
The Shadow Sparrow Demon kept launching sneak attacks from the shadows, leaving trails of scars on the bodies of the two Seventh Stage Winged Tigers.
Pretty Girl calmly waved the Peacock Feathers in hand. With each thrust, the Peacock Feathers created a series of afterimages, targeting the vital eyes of the two Seventh Stage Winged Tigers, greatly restraining them.
If Wu Bingji and his group could see the situation on the battlefield at this moment, they would be extremely surprised because, even when facing an Eighth Stage and two Seventh Stage Winged Tigers, the Beauty and Beast Squad was still gaining the upper hand in a short time.
What about Tang San at this time? He was in the distance!
Cheng Zicheng followed him with a pale face. The successive two fastest sprints had also taken a considerable toll on her, especially with such a powerful Winged Tiger chasing after them. She was genuinely afraid she would be torn apart by the Winged Tiger in mid-air.
Tang San gazed into the distance, watching the situation on the battlefield. When he saw a blast of Wind Protective Energy exploding in the air, the corners of his mouth were already slightly raised.
He had never underestimated the combat strength of the Beauty and Beast Squad.
Pretty Girl was confident he could retreat unscathed even when facing five Eighth Stage Peacock Demons from the Peacock Demon Clan, so how could a mere Eighth Stage Winged Tiger pose a threat to them?
The Golden Lion Dog, after all, was a descendant of the Golden Family. Who would believe it had no trump card? Therefore, Tang San never considered the Eighth Stage Winged Tiger a threat to the squad. If it were so, the Jiali Academy wouldn\'t have allowed them to embark on a mission without an accompanying teacher.
And the biggest opponent he had left for the Golden Lion Dog was not at the Eighth Stage.
If the Beauty and Beast Squad seemed to handle the previous battles against the Winged Tigers with ease, now they were going all out. Continuous combat had taken a significant toll on their bloodline power. Especially now that they had sensed something was wrong. Could it be a coincidence once, twice? Just a coincidence?
How could they not suspect that there might be enemies lurking in the dark, deliberately luring the Winged Tigers to attack them? An invisible shadow hung over them, weighing heavily on their minds.
At this moment, Song Junhou fully exhibited the formidable strength of a Child of the Golden Family. One of the most important characteristics of his golden bloodline was its long and robust blood essence, allowing for greater endurance than ordinary bloodlines and the ability to maintain a peak state longer. Unleashing the powerful might of the Golden Holy Fire, even the Eighth Stage Winged Tigers dared not let the Golden Holy Fire scorch their flesh, keeping the Wind Protective Energy at maximum intensity.
"What do we do now?" Cheng Zicheng asked Tang San in a low voice.
Tang San said, "Senior sister, you have already completed your task. The rest is up to me. You go around from the side and meet up with Big Brother and the others. Just be ready to assist me later."
"Okay." Even Cheng Zicheng herself didn\'t realize when it started, but somehow they had all developed a blind trust in Tang San. It seemed as if nothing he did would ever go wrong, and every decision he made was the right one.
Cheng Zicheng swiftly left, but Tang San remained in place, silently observing the distant battle while taking out a Black Gold Crossbow arrow and carefully cutting his left index finger.
A drop of blood squeezed out, and Tang San\'s eyes brightened as a result. The fluctuation of his own blood surged, and the Mysterious Heaven Method circulated rapidly within him. Spiritual Power infused into the blood, and a mass of wind element enveloped the droplet. His eyes instantly turned aqua, flickering with green light, and the Wind Protective Energy carried the drop of blood towards the direction of the Beauty and Beast Squad.
With a trace of Tang San\'s Spiritual Power, the drop of blood appeared faintly golden. This was not ordinary blood but a drop of Tang San\'s blood essence, which contained the core power of his bloodline. Though it was only one drop, his face had now turned pale, and he felt somewhat weak.
The Wind Protective Energy carried the blood essence right above the area where the Beauty and Beast Squad and the three Winged Tigers were fighting. The green light shattered, and the wisp of Spiritual Power Tang San had entrusted in the blood essence burst forth instantly.
In an instant, the drop of blood essence exploded and released a rich Bloodline Aura Fluctuation.
Both the Beauty and Beast Squad and the three Winged Tigers who were fighting below felt it. Influenced by Tang San\'s Wind Protective Energy, the three Winged Tigers didn\'t feel much, but the Beauty and Beast Squad was taken aback as they subconsciously thought another Winged Tiger was coming. However, the power of the Wind Protective Energy was not strong, so they didn\'t pay it much attention.
Having done all this, Tang San quickly contained his aura, weakening his own presence, while at the same time operating the Spirit Rhinoceros Eye to cover the elemental waves around himself. He quietly approached, releasing his sixth bloodline, the Bluesilver Emperor, to simulate the aura of plants, moving through the woods, concealed by the surrounding vegetation as if he had vanished into thin air.
Three lifetimes as a human, Tang San always acted deliberately, making thorough preparations before making a move. He would not take unnecessary risks except in extremely special circumstances.
Neither those Winged Tigers nor the Beauty and Beast Squad were opponents that the Redemption Academy Squad could contend with. However, the ultimate goal of Tang San\'s drive-the-tiger-and-devour-the-wolf strategy was to reap the benefits like a fisherman. And now, the climax was about to unfold.
Song Junhou\'s expression was solemn, with the immense shadow of a Golden Lion flickering behind him. The Golden Lion, at full power, urging its golden bloodline, was extremely strong, and the Eighth Stage Winged Tiger was already so suppressed that its Wind Protective Energy was growing weaker under the scorching of the Golden Holy Fire, and it was beginning to falter.
The other two Seventh Stage Winged Tigers weren\'t faring well either, and began to sustain injuries during the concerted attacks by the Beauty and Beast Squad\'s other members.
Song Junhou fought while pondering in his heart about the origins of this unseen enemy.
Without a doubt, this hidden enemy was not stronger than them; otherwise, they would have attacked directly, without the need for such trouble. Yet while not being strong, the constant drawing of Winged Tigers still caused them great trouble. In particular, this hidden foe seemed to be proficient in speed, likely that large bird that had been flying ahead earlier. Were they students from another academy or enemies? It shouldn\'t be the Peacock Demon Clan, as their strength didn\'t necessitate such concealment.
Regardless, he had to deal with the Winged Tigers in front of him first, finish off these three, and then what other Winged Tigers could the enemy possibly draw forth? Once these three were killed, they would immediately flee. They would get out of this area first and foremost.
The Golden Holy Fire intensified once more, and Song Junhou, glistening with golden color all over his body, suddenly roared, "Condense!"
The Golden Holy Fire around his body instantly coalesced, transforming into a huge tiger paw shape, and the Tiger claw blade fiercely struck down. His bloodline aura also surged in tandem.
Under the influence of the golden bloodline, the Eighth Stage Winged Tiger\'s body clearly stiffened for a moment, and in the next instant, the sharp tiger paw was already in front of it.
"Boom—" The Eighth Stage Winged Tiger was struck flying on impact, the Wind Protective Energy around its body shattered for the first time, and deep, bone-exposing claw marks scorched with the Golden Holy Fire appeared on its surface, eliciting a heart-wrenching roar of rage from the Winged Tiger.
However, it didn\'t continue its attack. Instead, it abruptly flapped its wings and fled.
