Chapter 120: Thunderclaw Roc

Ying Yue spent some more time with Bai Li, discussing what they could do, before they heard a clapping sound. They looked at each other and nodded their head.

The daggers danced in her hand as she stepped out in the clearing. Bai Li followed suit as they both stood side by side, looking at the mighty King of Aerial Spiritual Creatures.

A subtle smile appeared on Ning Xi's face as she said.

"Good luck to you two. Hope you make it out alive."

With a laugh, Ning Xi rose in the air as all the participants hovered in the air and drifted away towards the edges of the designated zone. Ning Xi was clearly showing that she wouldn't be even in the area to save them so they were all upto themselves.

A moment of complete silence reigned in the clearing as the Thunderclaw Roc and the duo of Ying Yue and Bai Li stared at each other, sizing each other up. The winds carried the crackling of lightning, giving them signs of what they were about to face.

With a loud screech, the Thunderclaw Roc flapped its enormous wings as several feathers shot at the duo like a barrage of heavy arrows.

The duo had already discussed everything before, so without saying anything, Ying Yue disappeared from her spot as she used the shadow of the Thunderclaw Roc to appear behind it. It was a surprise attack that they hoped would do atleast something.

Ying Yue stepped out of the Thunderclaw Roc's shadow, right beside its talons and swiped upwards with her daggers. Her ain were the joint where the enormous wings connected with the rest of the body.

This was their first target. Both of them knew that if the Thunderclaw Roc was allowed to leave the land, then there would be nothing they could do. Even if both of them had aerial artefacts, they weren't confident in an aerial battle with someone who was literally known as King of that field.

'Master said this could even injure Tier 4, heh. It was obvious it would work against this big guy. However, it now knows and is alert of me so the Shadow Step wouldn't help again and it's a waste of Qi. I need to be careful and see how can I defeat it.'

She quickly scanned the battlefield they were going to fight and her expression turned solemn, even though no could see it because of her mask. She rushed at the Thunderclaw Roc as she thought.

'Its all clear so this won't help much.'

Bai Li grinned as he punched at the incoming talon of Thunderclaw Roc. The Fist and talon collided as is whole arm shook, feeling the heavy impact to his bones. He quickly rolled to the sides instead of follow attacking and made some distance between them.

But the bird was in mood to give him any rest as a thick bolt of lightning descended on him. However, the power behind this signal lightning was far greater than any before and Bai Li was sure he would suffer under this.

So without even looking back, he pushed all of his strength in his legs as he jumped, passing by the yellow thich lightning by a distance of inch.

He quickly made some more distance between them as he thought.

'I need to have its attention, only then she would be able to attack it. But even if a single lightning bolt landed on her, she was be heavily injured. Guess I'll have to take some injuries this time then.'

Bai Li knew that the Thunderclaw Roc had already focused its attention on Ying Yue because of the recent attack and that's why he needed to do something to catch its attention.

A wide grin plastered on his face as he stopped and raised his hand behind his head. Feeling the strength coursing through his veins and muscles, he gathered all of that in his fist. But just then a yellow lightning bold descended on making a wide crater around him.

This lightning bolt carried the most power and had directly hit Bai Li.
