Chapter 104: Flame Burst
“How are we supposed to fight the Hellflame Tiger?” Yang Wei asked.
Elder Jing pondered for a while on a strategy to fight against the Hellflame Tiger.
Afterward, she stared at Yang Wei, “Simple, one person distracts it while the other person strikes at its weak spot.”
Yang Wei twitched his brows slightly at the simple method that Elder Jing came up with.
However, he would be a fool to believe the task to be easy like Elder Jing has simplified.
‘Distracting a Nascent Soul realm Hellflame Tiger is nearly impossible as a Qi Condensation realm.’ Yang Wei sighed inwardly as he glanced at Elder Jing.
“Who would be the attacker then?” Yang Wei asked softly.
“Obviously, the attacker would be me unless you believed yourself to be confident enough to pierce through its thick skin and penetrate the Hellflame Tiger’s core,” Elder Jing replied as she held a smug expression.
Yang Wei was in disbelief to see Elder Jing fooling around at this time when the Hellflame Tiger is fast approaching them.
Nevertheless, Yang Wei was glad to see Elder Jing return to her behavior when they first met, unlike the cold and angry temper she had before.
“Elder Jing must be jesting, there’s no way I can attack better than you and I was just asking to clarify,” Yang Wei smiled briefly, causing Elder Jing to cover her hand slowly as she giggled at his tone.
“Since you’re the distracter, take this pill,” Elder Jing said as she retrieved a brownish-looking pill from her spatial ring.
Afterward, she threw the pill over to Yang Wei.
Yang Wei caught the pill in his hand and asked, “What’s this pill for?”
“It’s a Speed Enhancing pill, meaning you will consume it once the Hellflame Tiger could be seen.” Elder Jing said and continued.
“Although the Hellflame Tiger is known for its destructive flame power, their agility is faster than any cultivators in the same realm and without that pill in your hand, you will get caught in no time.”
Yang Wei swallowed nervously when he heard that as he held the pill tightly in his hand, preparing to consume it as soon as he saw the Hellflame Tiger.
As Yang Wei prepares himself to be the bait, Elder Jing went away somewhere to stay hidden and would appear to strike at the Hellflame Tiger when the opportunity arises.
Sometime later, a loud roar could be echoed and Yang Wei clenched the hilt of his sword tightly while his other hand was holding the Speed Enhancing pill.
Yang Wei narrowed his gaze at the Hellflame Tiger and quickly consumed the Speed Enhancing pill from his hand.
ROAR!
The Hellflame Tiger roared loudly and licked his tongue maliciously, almost like Yang Wei was a delicious dish for him.
Yang Wei felt some goosebump creeping up his arm upon seeing the Hellflame Tiger’s action.
Meanwhile, the Hellflame Tiger couldn’t wait any longer as he breathed out a hot flame from his mouth, causing Yang Wei to be surprised as he quickly dodges to the right side with his movement technique.
Yang Wei narrowly dodged the surprise fire attack from the Hellflame Tiger and the fire breezed past Yang Wei as it landed on the ground, causing a sizzling sound as it melted the ground quickly.
‘If I were any second slower and didn’t have the Speed Enhancing pill effect then I would have been burned into a crisp,’ Yang Wei exclaimed slowly as he became more serious.
The Hellflame Tiger was an opponent far stronger than the people he ever faced.
Although Senior Ling’s strength is superior to the Hellflame Tiger, Senior Ling has never tried to take his life whereas the Hellflame Tiger is eager to finish off Yang Wei in a swift manner to fill up his belly.
The Hellflame Tiger snorted when his surprise attack failed as he dashed forward with all four of his legs with flame slowly emitting out from its mouth.
Yang Wei didn’t dare to stand still as he quickly used his movement technique to run toward the hiding place of Elder Jing while keeping the Hellflame Tiger’s attention on him.
Alas, Yang Wei has greatly underestimated the agility of the Hellflame Tiger as it has caught up to him within a mere 3 seconds.
Yang Wei didn’t panic as he quickly raised his sword up to block his ravenous claw that was striking at him.
CLANK!
Yang Wei used the impact of the claw to push himself forward. However, Yang Wei felt his hand shaking constantly from the impact.
‘A Nascent Soul realm is truly frightening. Just one strike and I feel like my entire body is going to drop down.’ Yang Wei exclaimed inwardly as he kept running and dodging at the same time.
Shortly after, Yang Wei finally baited the Hellflame Tiger to a narrowed place where Elder Jing is hiding on top of a tree branch.
Elder Jing was concealing her presence and the Hellflame Tiger was too distracted by Yang Wei to notice her hiding.
Once the Hellflame Tiger raised its ravenous claw and opened his mouth to shoot out a fire for a simultaneous attack, Yang Wei paled but he kept a smile on his face when he saw Elder Jing leaped down with her sword.
Elder Jing’s sword was shining brightly as she embedded some of her true qi inside, hoping to destroy the Hellflame Tiger’s core in one strike.
Right as Elder Jing’s sword was about to pierce through the Hellflame Tiger’s core, it detected Elder Jing’s dreadful attack as he quickly twisted his leg to avoid the sword strike on his core.
“Tch,” Elder Jing cursed when she missed her attack as she kicked the ground again to try and turned around to strike him again.
However, Elder Jing’s expression soon darkened when she realized the Hellflame Tiger suddenly stood still as she felt an insane amount of flame emitting from its body.
“Not good, this Hellflame Tiger knows Flame Burst. They actually spawned a full-grown adult Hellflame Tiger in this trial,” Elder Jing cursed as she quickly retreated backward.
