Chapter 79: Chapter 79: Battling the White Tiger
Translator: 549690339
“Get down quickly!” Fang Lin bellowed, stepping forward with the Nine Heavens Step Skill, hastily rushing to provide aid.
Upon hearing this, the youth quickly dropped to the ground. The White Tiger roared and sprung over the youth’s head to land on the floor.
Seeing that its attack had missed, the White Tiger swung its tail, which was as powerful as a steel whip, violently towards the youth behind it.
The youth was unable to dodge this time and was severely whipped by the tail on his thigh.
A scream of agony immediately followed as the youth’s leg bone was instantly broken, causing him to lose balance and fall to the ground.
Seeing this, all the bystanders were shocked. Wu Mengsheng and Xu Shangao gritted their teeth, wanting to rush forward and rescue the youth.
“I’ll handle him!” Fang Lin was faster, he dashed to the White Tiger in an instant, his immense power bursting forth unabated.
The White Tiger, with human-like apprehension on its face, lowered its body slightly, assuming a stance to deal with a formidable enemy.
Xu Shangao and Wu Mengsheng immediately dragged the screaming youth to a safe distance and administered healing pills.
However, the youth’s leg bone was completely broken, and the effect of their hasty healing pills was minimal.
Seeing this, Xu Shangao and Wu Mengsheng exchanged a look, both sighing.
“Ma, don’t push yourself.” Wu Mengsheng advised.
The youth surnamed Ma became ashen-faced, his face covered in cold sweat, the intense pain almost making him delirious.
However, understanding Wu Mengsheng’s intentions, he nodded and took out the jade talisman to shatter it.
A flash of white light and Ma seemingly disappeared on the spot, being teleported out of Medicine -Seeking Peak.
His injury was too severe, forcing himself to stay could only be a burden to the others. He had to leave Medicine-Seeking Peak immediately to receive treatment from the Elders.
With this, one less person remained under the command of Fang Lin.
The white light ebbed, and Ma emerged at the base of Medicine-Seeking Peak, where three elders immediately arrived to examine his injury.
“Although his leg bone is broken, it’s not too severe. It can be treated with the Continuation Pill. After a month of recuperation, he should recover.” Elder Wan said after examining Ma’s injury.
Upon hearing this, Ma, initially pale faced, now wore a more relaxed expression.
However, Elder Gao’s expression darkened, “This must certainly be Fang Lin’s doing. How cruel of him to break another person’s leg!”
Elder Wan and the middle-aged Elder were both displeased. Such an unfounded accusation, how had it once again been placed on Fang Lin’s shoulders?
Ma looked puzzled, “Elder, why do you say that? It was Brother Fang Lin who saved me, otherwise I might have lost my life to that demon beast.”
At these words, Elder Gao’s face alternated between green and white. Elder Wan and the middle-aged elder could barely hold back their laughter.
“Humph!” Elder Gao turned, swept his robe aside and left, embarrassment written all over his face.
Elder Wan led Ma away for treatment, intending to also inquire about Fang Lin’s situation in Medicine-Seeking Peak.
At this moment, within Medicine-Seeking Peak, Fang Lin and the White Tiger
were still locked in a standoff, neither daring to act recklessly.
Fang Lin’s expression was solemn. Although this White Tiger was also at One Transformation Eighth Layer, like the Black Alligator he had encountered before, mere energy-wise proved that the tiger was much stronger.
After all, the tiger was known as the king among beasts, especially the White Tiger, which was even the king among tigers. Once a tiger became a demon, its strength was much more powerful than ordinary demon beasts.
As the ancient saying goes, “Clouds follow the dragon, wind follows the tiger.”
When this White Tiger appeared earlier, a violent wind roared. This is the advantage of tiger-like demon beasts; their movement brings about a wild wind that catches people off guard.
One man and one tiger had been confronting each other for a long time. Fang Lin was able to keep his cool while the White Tiger couldn’t keep its patience. With a loud roar, it pounced at Fang Lin.
The White Tiger moved extremely fast. Despite its massive size, there wasn’t any hesitation, like a white shadow sweeping past, arriving in front of Fang Lin in an instant.
Had it been anyone else, they would have been pushed to the ground. Once the White Tiger pounced, it would be almost impossible to get back up.
But, it’s Fang Lin.
Fang Lin, using the Nine Heavens Step Skill, nimbly evaded the pounce of the White Tiger as if he was a phantom.
The White Tiger’s first attack did not work, and its tail twitched toward Fang Lin. The sound of breaking the wind was piercing, signaling that this tail strike carried immense power.
This tail strike was the White Tiger’s most powerful attack. Anyone combating a Tiger Demon would need to guard against this tail strike.
A pounce from the White Tiger was intimidating, but as long as one reacted quickly enough, it could be dodged.
However, after dodging the pounce, the ensuing tail strike was even more deadly.
Often, some would dodge the Tiger Demon’s pounce only to be struck by its tail, resulting in severe injuries.
Although Fang Lin was a Pill Refiner, his experience from fighting humans and demon beasts in his previous life was extremely rich. He had a counter for the tactics of a mere Tiger Demon readily prepared.
As the tail strike came swooping in, Fang Lin jumped to evade it. The tail swept beneath him.
However, after he jumped, a gust of wind blew, and Fang Lin was tumbled to the ground.
Fang Lin cursed inwardly, it was extremely difficult to deal with the White Tiger that was assisted by the wind.
White Tiger unleashed a relentless assault on Fang Lin. Although the movements were simple, they were very efficient, forcing Fang Lin to barely dodge using the Nine Heavens Step Skill.
While Fang Lin was engaged with the White Tiger, the strongest among the others, Wu Mengsheng, would sporadically distract the White Tiger.
However, he was only at the fifth layer of Human Origin, barely able to distract the White Tiger momentarily. He would attack and then promptly retreat, fearing being locked onto by the White Tiger.
The White Tiger had been unable to deal with Fang Lin, and was becoming agitated. A gradual red hue emerged in its tiger eyes.
Seeing the White Tiger’s eyes, Fang Lin inwardly cursed. His luck was utterly terrible, as this White Tiger even had a faint trace of bloodline inheritance, which was causing its strength to increase due to its fury and impatience.
The White Tiger roared, its figure as fast as lightning, like a white flash sweeping by, knocked Fang Lin to the ground.
“Damn it!” Everyone was shocked upon seeing this. Wu Mengsheng tried to come and help, but unexpectedly, the White Tiger switched its target, rolling over and swatting Wu Mengsheng away.
Wu Mengsheng spat a mouthful of fresh blood while still in midair. There were several deep slashes on his chest that reached his bones, injured by the claws of the White Tiger.
Wu Mengsheng fell into the weeds. Xu Shangao immediately ran over, pouring a bottle of powder on Wu Mengsheng’s wounds, barely stopping the bleeding.
Wu Mengsheng laughed bitterly, shaking his head. Knowing he couldn’t stay at the Medicine-Seeking Peak anymore, he crushed the jade talisman and also left the Medicince-Seeking Peak.
Xu Shangao sighed. Wu Mengsheng definitely did not want to leave, but given his injuries, he had to be treated urgently. There was no other choice but to leave.
Fang Lin saw Xu Shangao being injured and leaving, he had a pang of guilt in his heart.
Roaarr!!
White Tiger once again pounced at Fang Lin. For the Tiger, Fang Lin was its biggest enemy.
By that time, Fang Lin had already stood up. Although he was knocked into a stupor by the White Tiger’s blow just now, he was otherwise unharmed. At the moment, he held a black bottle in his hand..
