The comprehension and cultivation bases of the three brothers were similar so combining their strength together didn't pose any problems. Designating Malachi as the controller of the Asura, the other two continuously supplied their Spiritual Qi as the Asura and the Thunder Winged Tiger attacked each other.
Clenching its fist made of fire, the air itself distorted from a heatwave as every tree around the area burned into charcoal.
Roaaar~!
With a defiant roar, lightning surged and encompassed its body, attacking with a downward slash using its paw, both attacks collided, sending lightning and fire throughout the entire forest as both parties flew backward.
Guah~!
The three brothers spat a mouthful of blood as they stood up and wiped the blood on the edge of their lips. Their attack just now struck a crucial weak point of the Thunder Winged Tiger and judging from the feedback, they should've dealt considerable damage to it.
"Damage on its left wing and its two front paws, mobility is reduced, but its attack is increased due to anger, a classic nature of Yang affiliated beast like this bastard..." Malachi assessed the situation while attacking, his display of finesse and composure while in the battlefield astonished the group that observed them at the side.
Finley and Stanley nodded their heads and adjusted their attacks to focus on those weak points that Malachi noted, their precise repeated attacks on those spots worsened the Thunder Winged Tiger's injuries, but at the same time, the injuries that they suffered from the Tiger's crazed attacks also increased.
Natalie and Dan's expression turned solemn when they saw the degree of cooperation and trust that they displayed to each other, clicking their tongues, they understood that killing these three wouldn't be so simple. However, Dan's confidence didn't diminish for he had a trump card on his side.
Grace's battle experience was close to nothing, but she had a discerning and deceptive mind. As someone that lived her entire childhood in a slums community, she was an expert when it comes to manipulations and schemes.
"What do you think, Grace? Should we attack now?" Dan tested out the waters and turned to face her with a solemn expression.
Grace paused for a moment and squinted her eyes, staring at the battlefield, she recorded information regarding the two parties and made her conclusion, "I don't know much about beasts, but judging from the surging battle intent of the two parties despite the fact that their injuries look worse, they definitely still have their trump cards and are waiting for the one who's gonna make the first move..."
"It's also a crucial moment but if we interrupt their battle now, we will face both of their wrath which is something detrimental given that I'm a baggage that can easily be killed by a mere shockwave from their attacks..." Grace's eyes dimmed when she reached the end of her sentence and Dan flicked her forehead.
With a pained cry, Grace rubbed her aching forehead and glared at Dan as the latter lightly chuckled, "Baggage? A mere baggage couldn't possibly know this much just by observing the battlefield!"
He honestly praised, Grace's words were supported by the findings of the System. Despite the low health bars of the two parties, their Qi Reserves were still at fifty-percent and beyond. Meaning, they were holding back their attacks for the opportunity to kill their enemy in one fell swoop.
"Stanley! You attack the left side! Finley, take the right and I'll take the front! Suppress it with fire!" Malachi howled and within the next instant, the three scattered and unleashed their arsenal of attacks on the Thunder Winged Tiger.
Lightning arcs congealed in the air and formed a barrier which enveloped the Thunder Winged Tiger, all attacks of the three brothers disappeared like a stone thrown into the ocean as they clicked their tongues and retreated.
Staring at a distance of several meters away from the Thunder Winged Tiger. They saw that the Tiger sat on the ground with closed eyes. The Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth formed a vortex around its body and each strand absorbed, healed its wounds.
"Damn, the bastard is healing itself using destruction! The Dao of Lightning stems from the Dao of Life, it can summon the primal laws of Lightning and heal itself!" Malachi's extensive knowledge enabled him to find the answer in such a short time.
Stanley and Finley's expression drastically changed, if the Thunder Winged Tiger managed to recover, then the three of them would be eliminated.
"What did you say?! The bastard is recovering?! Then, what should we do? Is there any way that we can stop it?!" Finley interrupted with a pale expression on his face, Malachi thought for a moment and said.
"Since this bastard isn't attacking us, it only means that either it cannot move or it needs to concentrate all of its focus on healing itself..." Malachi dished out his conclusion and the epiphany struck the two brothers,
"So, Big Bro is saying that as long as we interrupt its healing process, it may suffer a backlash that would result to its end? What are we waiting for? Let's go and attack, now!" Stanley rotated his cultivation base and summoned a sword of fire before attacking with a downward slash on the Thunder Winged Tiger's head.
The immobile Tiger didn't even open its eyelids as the fire sword clashed with the barrier of lightning that surrounded it. As soon as the attack struck the barrier, the flames extinguished and the contained Spiritual Qi was quenched.
"I-I-It ate my attack?" Stanley staggered backward, that single attack used up several percents of his Qi Reserves and due to insufficient Spiritual Qi, he couldn't even rotate his Spiritual Qi anymore. Finley gnashed his teeth while Malachi looked pensive in contemplation.
"Everything is not too late, yet. If we use that thing, we can definitely break through this bastard's barrier..." Malachi proposed and the faces of his two brothers' went pale.
"Using that?"
"Are you sure about that, Big Bro, that Forbidden Technique is affiliated with the demonic path, once someone from the Paradyne Academy knew that we had such technique, we will definitely be annihilated along with our families..." Stanley spat with a solemn tone and Finley stood at the side with the same expression.
Malachi glanced at Dan's carriage and said, "There should be no problem, those people in the carriage are mere mortals that we can easily kill, I feel pity for the women but once we use that technique, we should definitely kill them once we're done with them..."
Stanley and Finley nodded their heads, though it was a pity that they couldn't keep the women for themselves, it was better than being hunted by the entire Paradyne Academy and suffering a fate that was worse than death.
Biting the tip of their tongues, the three brothers spat a mouthful of blood essence of which they combined together to form a figure of a bloody and fiery Asura.
Cold winds howled and the Fiery Asura whose figure spanned at least several tens of meters stood tall amidst the forest. Staring at the recovering Tiger in disdain, the three brothers collapsed exhausted on the ground as smiles of victory lifted on their faces.
With the summoned Asura on their side, victory was certain.
"Let's go!"
However, inside a certain carriage, a decisive shout suddenly pierced through the air as two auras of the Spirit Tempering Realm surged. The sense of imminent danger and despair filled the minds of the three brothers as the murderous aura of the two foreign cultivators neared them.
Turning to look at the intruders, Malachi's expression went venomous when he saw Natalie's figure approaching him with a murderous look on her face.
"As I thought, you bastards are spies from the Paradyne Academy!" Malachi forcefully twisted the direction of the Asura's strike. The bloody Asura's downward palm strike that aimed at the Tiger turned to aim at Dan's head as Natalie's expression went incomparably pale!
