"Ye Yuan, why doesn't that white tiger run away when it can't beat it?" Nanfeng Zhirou transmitted. Evidently, she also found it very strange.
Ye Yuan shook his head slightly and similarly transmitted his voice. "No idea. Maybe it has some reason that it can't retreat?"
"Demonic beasts also have reasons? I think it's just stupid and just have to fight to the death with that python. Could they be snatching territories? Such severe injuries, even if it wins, it most likely won't be able to survive."
"All life has spirituality. Even demonic beasts have feelings. You've also seen Yuan Fei. Low-tier demonic beasts don't have such complex emotions. But it refuses to fall back despite knowing that it's no match for it. I'm afraid that it really has its reasons."
While speaking, Ye Yuan pulled the tree leaves aside even more. The pair's visual field became even wider.
Entering their sight was a tiny white tiger the size of a cat was currently quivering there.
Nanfeng Zhirou could not contain her surprise as she turned to look at Ye Yuan.
Chapter 158. Sword Driving Technique! |
The little white tiger bared its fangs as the fur on its entire body stood on its ends. A low cat-like roar even came out of its mouth every now and then. No matter how one looked at it, it looked very cute.
And yet, under this sort of tragic circumstance, the little white tiger's roar seemed to be so helpless and pitiful.
Ye Yuan's heart shuddered for no reason as if he saw the former him.
"Ye Yuan, let's save that white tiger? Look at that little white tiger. It's really so pitiful." At this time, Nanfeng Zhirou's words sounded out by Ye Yuan's ears.
Ye Yuan turned to look but saw that Nanfeng Zhirou's face was already covered in tears. Clearly, she was deeply touched by that white tiger's profound parental love.
Under this sort of situation, it was obvious that waiting for the white tiger and the Seven Colored Flowing Cloud Python to fight until both were heavily injured would be the best, but Ye Yuan really could not do it.
Ye Yuan did not say anything. He just nodded slowly and took out the Canghua Sword, saying to Nanfeng Zhirou, "The weak point of the Seven Colored Flowing Cloud Python is that seven-colored flower. This is the high ground; an excellent place for ambushing. I'll go down and lure it over here, you find an opportunity to kill it in one blow!"
Nanfeng Zhirou nodded with all her might. The current her was also filled with a powerful resentment towards that python.
At the moment, the black python and white tiger was intoxicated with the intense battle. The white tiger suffered setbacks repeatedly, but it refused to back even one step.
The white tiger was already an arrow at the end of its flight. It only relied on a single obsession to forcefully hold on and not collapse.
That black python locked onto an opening and shot forward abruptly, directly targeting the white tiger's lower jaw.
The white tiger's actions already could not keep up with the black python at all any longer. If this bite landed, the white tiger will die without any doubt!
Right at this time, a white light sneak attacked the black python's face with lightning speed.
This happened too suddenly, the black python was unable to react to it at all. The white light directly struck its eye.
Phhssstt!
The black python's eyes instantly became a bloody mess.
An awful shrill cried out. The black python rolled on the ground in pain. The enormous body twisted non-stop and its tail swept around randomly filled with attack power.
Even Ye Yuan did not dare to rush up rashly at this time. He just gave the dying white tiger a look.
The white tiger gazed towards Ye Yuan with full of gratitude.
The little white tiger saw that the black python suffered injuries and plucked up its courage to come over to its mother's side. It used its tiny tongue to nurse its mother's wounds while periodically giving off whining sounds, appearing to be in great sorrow.
However, this scene did not continue for too long. The black python roused from its pain, and a grating howl indicated that it was currently in an enraged state.
The black python used its remaining eye to stare fixedly at Ye Yuan. But Ye Yuan just looked at it smilingly and even crooked his finger at it, seemingly very contemptuous.
That Seven Colored Flowing Cloud Python flew into an even greater rage seeing the situation. With a swoosh, it vanished.
Ye Yuan was prepared long ago and naturally would not be successfully ambushed by it.
Similarly, with an Instant Flash, Ye Yuan vanished on the spot. That black python struck thin air.
"Big stupid snake, I'm over here!" Ye Yuan once again crooked his finger at the black python over at the other side.
The Seven Colored Flowing Cloud Python seemed to understand Ye Yuan's words. It rushed towards Ye Yuan once more recklessly.
Ye Yuan's movement technique was not much slower than the Seven Colored Flowing Cloud Python. He evaded once again.
Having repeated this twice, as long as Ye Yuan dodged one more time, the Seven Colored Flowing Cloud Python would enter the place where Nanfeng Zhirou was lying in ambush.
Nanfeng Zhirou was also sharpening her blade as she stared fixedly at the seven colored flower at the black python's vital point.
Ye Yuan dodged and entered the ambush radius. Just as he taunted the black python once again and Nanfeng Zhirou was on the verge of striking, the black python actually hesitated!
"Damn it. This black python is naturally cunning. It actually grew suspicious of my actions!" Ye Yuan's cursed in his heart.
The Canghua Sword shook, and a sword beam fired out again. Except, the black python that was prepared would not be struck so easily. It avoided it with a slide of its body.
It was just that after the black python dodged, it still did not head over here.
A bad premonition arose in Ye Yuan's heart. Indeed, the black python suddenly turned around and actually charged towards the white tiger!
"Damn it!" Ye Yuan silently cursed and chased over with his sword.
Nanfeng Zhirou laid in ambush for so long, but that black python actually ran away. She could not help feeling very depressed.
However, her lying in ambush did not hold much meaning anymore at this point. With a large stride out, she also chased after.
This black python was abnormally cunning. Even though it gave away its back to Ye Yuan currently, it swayed around. There was simply no way of getting an accurate aim. Ye Yuan fired out multiple sword beams in a go and was evaded by it.
In a blink, the black python was only several dozen meters away from the white tiger. This distance was merely an insignificant matter to it.
The white tiger was already on the verge of death at the moment. After that fierce burst of strength just now passed, it could no longer muster up strength at this time.
It was not the black python's match from the start and was even bitten several times by the black python. Currently, it was not only covered in wounds, but it was also already deeply poisoned. How could it have the strength to resist?
Seeing the black python pounce over, despair showed in the white tiger's eyes. Its gaze turned towards the tiny white tiger by its side as its eyes were full of unwillingness and helplessness.
The little white tiger did not appear to be as frightened as it originally was at the current moment. Instead, it was snarling, baring its teeth at the black python and waving its claws about. It was sufficiently imposing, but sadly, it was too weak and tiny.
Nanfeng Zhirou was greatly anxious when she saw the situation. A series of sword beams shot over. It was just that her sword beams were much weaker compared to Ye Yuan's. Even if there were occasionally a few which landed on the black python's body, it neither hurt nor itched.
Ye Yuan knew that it was too late. He immediately gritted his teeth. "There's only this move! Little white tiger, if I slip up, don't blame me!"
In a thought, Ye Yuan l
ightly tossed the Canghua Sword up into the air and then put his both hands together to form a sword, pointing it towards the Canghua Sword.
A strand of soul strength wrapped around essence energy escaped from the fingertip and directly penetrated the Canghua Sword!
Just like that, the Canghua Sword actually suspended in midair!
"Sword Driving Technique! Go!"
Ye Yuan pointed with one hand; the Canghua Sword turned into a streak of flowing light as it swooshed out, directly piercing the black python!
The black python seemed to have sensed something, the speed of it pouncing towards the little white tiger became slower. But its body's swaying became even more pronounced and even more difficult to pinpoint!
Canghua Sword's speed was even faster than the sword beams released by Ye Yuan earlier. Even so, this sword still missed.
The black python gave off that horrible grating howl once again as if it was expressing a victory declaration.
Ye Yuan's face darkened, but his fingertip still pulled backward again. The Canghua Sword rapidly drew a lone line across the air and turned into a streak of flowing light, shooting towards the black python once more.
This time around, because the Canghua Sword was too near to the black python, the black python did not expect this sword could actually return after going off. Being caught off guard, it was pierced through by Ye Yuan!
"Sss, sss . . ."
The black python started rolling on the ground in agony once more, but it did not die straight away.
This sword did not stab its vital areas!
"Senior Apprentice Sister, quickly go and follow up with a strike!" Ye Yuan clenched his teeth and shouted.
With a cling , the Canghua Sword dropped on the ground. Ye Yuan was also sitting slumped on the ground, his entire person completely exhausted.
Only now did Nanfeng Zhirou recover from her surprise and hurriedly swung her sword to follow up with a blade.
However, before Nanfeng Zhirou even approached, the black python's tail swept by, nearly hitting her.
Nanfeng Zhirou was very anxious. She did not expect that this black python's vitality was actually so tenacious. She was actually unable to approach momentarily.
Just then, a streak of white light flashed across . . .
Chapter 159. Natural Born Sovereign |
Ye Yuan and Nanfeng Zhirou both stared wide-eyed as they watched this scene in disbelief.
The little white tiger scurried to the black python's vital spot like lightning, rushing at that seven-colored flower, and biting down on it!
"Sssss. . . Sssss. . ."
The black python itself also did not think that this little white tiger would actually take advantage of his misfortune to profit from it. Furthermore, it could have bitten any other place, yet, it just had to bite down on its vital spot!
This was lethal!
The black python shook its body repeatedly, trying to shake off that little white tiger.
However, the little white tiger's teeth locked down on that seven-colored flower securely and refused to let go. No matter how much the black python rocked, it just did not loosen up!
Initially, the black python had its vital spot bitten, it already could not unleash a tenth of its full strength. With the addition of the injuries from battling the white tiger along with the wounds Ye Yuan inflicted, it would no longer move anymore after some time. It was just that it still twitched every now and then.
A Tier 2 middle-stage demonic beast was actually bitten to death by a little white tiger just like that!
Even though the black python was already unmoving, the little white tiger still refused to release its bite as it chomped down firmly without letting go.
Ye Yuan picked up the Canghua Sword, walked over to the black python's side, and petted the little white tiger's small head. The tiny white tiger seemed to have understood and only let go then.
Ye Yuan was also afraid that the little white tiger did not bite viciously enough and supplemented another stab on the seven-colored flower, thoroughly ending the Seven Colored Flowing Cloud Python's life.
After the little white tiger released its bite, it no longer bothered with the black python, but instead, returned to its mother's side and used its tiny tongue to lick her wounds.
Ye Yuan and Nanfeng Zhirou turned to look at each other and also did not know what to say.
The two of them expended such an enormous effort, but the result was that it was this little fellow who gave the killing blow.
But the speed which the little fellow displayed just now also made them have a completely new appraisal of it. Once this little fellow matures, it would be an absolutely terrifying character!
Nanfeng Zhirou glanced at the white tiger lying on the ground and looked at Ye Yuan again.
Ye Yuan understood her meaning, but he shook his head and said, "She is too gravely injured. Moreover, she's also poisoned by that Seven Colored Flowing Cloud Python. There's already nothing I can do."
Nanfeng Zhirou said without any sign of giving up, "Didn't you bring a lot of medicinal pills? There should be detoxification pills and healing pills, right?"
Ye Yuan sighed and said, "It's useless. Demonic beasts' physique is different from humans. They must use corresponding medicinal pills. The medicinal pills I brought along is no use to her."
The medicinal pills used by demonic beasts formed a system of its own. They were different than the medicinal pills used by humans.
Also, only Ye Yuan this sort of Alchemy Dao great master could achieve such brilliant accomplishments in both systems at the same time.
However, even a clever housewife cannot cook a meal without rice. Presently, there was no pill refinement room here. Without ingredients, no matter how amazing Ye Yuan was, it was also impossible for him to pull medicinal pills out from nothing.
Ye Yuan saying this was the equivalent of sentencing the white tiger to death. Nanfeng Zhirou could not bear it. Seeing the whimpering little white tiger, her tears started overflowing uncontrollably once again.
Ye Yuan also found it hard to endure.
He was not a person overflowing with compassion. It was just that the scene just now was overly similar to his experience in his past life.
Although the white tiger was just a demonic beast, he still felt as if he experienced it himself.
The white tiger's eyes which were originally already shut gradually opened at this time. It also seemed to have recovered a bit of consciousness.
Seeing its mother open her eyes, the little white tiger involuntarily started jumping about in front of her in joy.
The white tiger's gaze was full of loving kindness; completely unlike a fearsome demonic beast.
Except, Ye Yuan and Nanfeng Zhirou both knew that this was the white tiger's final radiance before death. Most likely, it was already done for.
The white tiger looked at the little white tiger with tender love, but its gaze shifted to Ye Yuan as it revealed an imploring intention.
After that, she used all the strength in her body to use her head to push the little white tiger to Ye Yuan's feet.
This white tiger was actually entrusting her child to him!
Honestly speaking, Ye Yuan did not wish to become a nanny. He still had many things he needed to do and had no time to waste in this area.
Even though he pitied this mother and son pair very much, he still felt that it was rather troublesome to ask him to raise this little white tiger.
The white tiger clearly saw through Ye Yuan's reluctance and could not help but give a low roar; akin to a final lamenting whine. The intent of begging was already very clear.
Nanfeng Zhirou could not help flying into a rage when she saw Ye Yuan hesitating. "Ye Yuan, do you still have any sympathy? The little white tiger is already so pitiful. It lost its mother when it's so small. Leaving him here unchecked will cause him to be killed by other demonic beasts! If you aren't taking him in, I'll shelter him! Come, little white tiger!"
/> But the little white tiger did not approach Nanfeng Zhirou but jumped back. It was evident that it was unwilling to leave its mother.
The white tiger gave another roar, and her gaze became stern. The little white tiger looked like a child who did something wrong as it lowered its head, but it still headed over to Ye Yuan's feet.
When Nanfeng Zhirou saw this, her temper rose again.
"Hey, little fellow, is your brain even working? He doesn't even want you, why did you run over to him for? Quickly come over to my side!"
As she spoke, Nanfeng Zhirou reached out to hug the little white tiger, but the little white tiger squeezed in between Ye Yuan's legs and just refused to let Nanfeng Zhirou hold it.
Like this, Nanfeng Zhirou became even more livid. She was originally someone with a fiery temper, but her goodwill was taken for ill intentions. It would be weirder if she did not get angry!
"Run some more! Keep running! Do you believe whether or not I'll yank your ears!" Nanfeng Zhirou had her hands on her hips as she said with an enraged face.
But the reply was a cat-like roar.
This one human and one tiger actually started to play catching around Ye Yuan.
Ye Yuan was driven to a point where he was at a loss whether or cry or to laugh by Nanfeng Zhirou. It turns out that this woman did not differentiate between demons or humans when she lost her temper!
"Alright, alright. Stop circling. Keep going in circles, and I'm going to get dizzy! I'll keep the little white tiger, alright?" Ye Yuan said impatiently.
Ye Yuan pulled Nanfeng Zhirou off and lowered his body to speak to the white tiger. "Don't you worry, since I promised you, I'll take good care of him. Following me, his power in the future will definitely be above yours. You can go in peace."
Not that Ye Yuan was callous, but it was because this white tiger was already done for long ago. The reason why it still did not pass away was because Ye Yuan had yet to promise it.
There was plainly a language barrier, but the white tiger seemed to have understood what Ye Yuan said. It gave off another low roar as if it was thanking Ye Yuan, and then gradually, it fell silent.
