Chapter 120: Chapter 119: Battle with the Winged Tiger

The fact that the ice shields Wu Bingji conjured in front of him shattered one after another was proof of this.

An odd scene occurred at that moment. When Tang San's wind blades collided with those of the Wind Protective Energy-level, they quickly dissipated. They couldn't fully resist. However, those wind blades of Wind Protective Energy also changed direction upon collision, striking other attacks of the same kind. For a time, the air was filled with a cacophony of shrill howls. But not a single attack could get close to Tang San and Wu Bingji. Wu Bingji effectively only blocked the attacks from the front. The other Wind Protective Energy attacks surrounding them were all deflected by a series of Tang San's wind blades.

In terms of control ability for medium-range attacks, Tang San was absolutely the best among his peers. This control, which Gu Li and Cheng Zicheng, watching from the sky, found somewhat dumbfounding.

From their brief encounter, Tang San had already deduced that in terms of cultivation base, this Winged Tiger with its powerful physique and talents was definitely superior to Wu Bingji, who was also at the Sixth Stage. They needed to end the battle swiftly; otherwise, there would be casualties.

"Brother, buy me some time," Tang San shouted loudly, while his figure drifted backward, his hands conjuring in front of him. A green light rapidly converged within his palms, and Tang San's eyes had turned completely emerald green—a clear sign he was elevating his cultivation base to its limit.

Wu Bingji erupted at this instant as well. With Tang San dealing with the majority of the Wind Protective Energy attacks, Wu Bingji swung his right hand, launching another ice cone with the technique of a throwing arrow.

The Winged Tiger had one eye destroyed and was now in a state of rage. Fresh from its outburst, it lunged forward without any hesitation, pouncing towards him.

The ice cone was shot from close range, but the Winged Tiger swiped its paw sideways, attempting to bat the ice cone away. It was then that the launched ice cone unexpectedly detonated on its own.

With a "bang," the impact caused the Winged Tiger's striking paw to reel back, and in the next moment, Wu Bingji had already conjured an ice spear in his hand, thrusting it fearlessly towards the Winged Tiger's other eye.

With a roar, the Winged Tiger's body once more gathered wind elements, with a massive burst of wind blades ready to explode from its center.

Gu Li finally caught his breath at this moment and bellowed, "Concentrate!" Along with his shout, the Winged Tiger's entire body froze momentarily, and the wind elements that had just gathered dissolved almost instantly, failing to form an attack. Meanwhile, Wu Bingji's ice spear was already at its eye.

Their cooperation under immense pressure was remarkably in sync. The ice spear was about to pierce into the Winged Tiger's eye socket.

Just then, a surge of blue light suddenly burst forth from the Winged Tiger's body, and the Wind Protective Energy erupted in response, forcefully repelling the ice spear. However, this action was rushed and not as ferociously explosive as before. The Wind Protective Energy shattered inch by inch under the full force of the ice spear, and the Winged Tiger flapped its wings on its back, creating a tempest that sent Gu Li flying while its body floated upwards and backwards. A dense concentration of wind elements converged towards it at an alarming rate.

Such a difficult opponent! Wu Bingji was inwardly shaken. At the same Sixth Stage, this juvenile Winged Tiger that hadn't reached adulthood surpassed him in both strength of element control and bodily power. That was the natural talent of the Demon Beast or, to put it another way, the Monsters also had a similar gift in this aspect.

But Wu Bingji couldn't retreat at this moment; behind him were his junior brothers and sisters, and he had to buy time for Tang San. He had a blind trust in Tang San, believing that as long as he could hold off the Winged Tiger from the front, Tang San would surely be able to deliver the final blow.

Taking a deep breath, Wu Bingji's body radiated with an ice-blue light. The temperature of the surrounding air noticeably dropped as his entire body turned ice-blue in an instant, indicating that he had pushed his Ice spirit change to its limit and was showing signs of utilizing his Ice Element Body.

He plunged the ice spear into the ground, and in the next moment, ice cones erupted from the earth around him like mad.

These ice cones, upon breaking through the ground, emitted an intense bone-chilling frost as they spread outwards.

The Wind Elemental burst that had built up in the Winged Tiger was released, forming a massive orb in the sky that transformed into a tornado storm sweeping downward.

As the ice cones shot up from the earth, they launched directly towards the approaching tornado. Each ice cone, over two meters long and accompanied by a piercing howl, shot out explosively.

The ice cones penetrated the tornado and were almost instantly drawn into it. With the addition of the ice cones, the tornado's destructive power was undoubtedly enhanced.

But it was at this moment that Wu Bingji let out a loud shout, "Explode!"

Accompanied by a series of booming explosions, the chunks of ice within the tornado burst instantly, disrupting the cohesion of the wind element with their powerful explosive force. The entire sky was filled with huge swathes of ice fog, and although the howling of the wind tornado continued, its previous destructive force was gone, dissipating in the air.

Wu Bingji's face was slightly flushed. That move could be considered the peak of his life's use of the ice attribute. It was Tang San who had taught him how to detonate the ice. The force of the hard ice exploding and the attack of the shattered ice were both very effective tactics.

Trying it now, he had actually managed to block the Winged Tiger's tornado.

At that moment, in the sky, an orange-yellow light accompanied by a shrill whistling sound descended from the heavens, striking right at the top of the Winged Tiger's head just after the tornado had burst and was in a short state of recovery.

With a "thump," the orange-yellow figure was propelled away by the rebound, but the Winged Tiger was also hit, falling from the sky and landing on the ground with a new crack on its head.

The one who made the move was Cheng Zicheng.

After the battle between the two sides began, she had been looking for an opportunity.

Undoubtedly, she was far from the strength of the Winged Tiger, and there was absolutely no chance of winning in a head-on fight. But the Golden Winged Cloak Slash she had just learned gave her the urge to try it.

Cheng Zicheng was smart, so she was always waiting for the opportunity, which undoubtedly came when the two sides were engaged in their strongest collision. At such a time, the Winged Tiger's cultivation base would greatly diminish, as would its attention.

The direction Cheng Zicheng chose to strike from was also the side where the Winged Tiger was blind. In the air, she rapidly rolled and spun, driving a pair of golden wings, unleashing a nine-rotation Golden Winged Cloak Slash.

Cheng Zicheng's Disorder Splitting Wind was different from Gu Li's. Although the golden wings were tough, there was still a gap in comparison to the Tail Hammer. Therefore, she couldn't repeatedly leverage the spin to enhance her attack power. At least not with the current toughness of her golden wings.

But Cheng Zicheng had her own ideas. Although she did not have such a tough body, in terms of speed, she was second to none among the students of Redemption Academy. After repeated attempts, she believed that using speed to overcome her problems was a good choice.

Spinning continuously for nine circles, she was able to maintain stability of form without getting dizzy while maximizing her speed.

Therefore, her first strike of the Golden Winged Cloak Slash was completed after nine circles of spinning. It had extremely strong attack and cutting power, even surpassing that of Gu Li's within five cumulative strikes.

But with Cheng Zicheng's current physical strength and cultivation base, she could only perform one slash, and there was no way to connect the second one.

The main problem was that after the first strike, her golden wings were shaken and numb, and she needed time to recover before she could leverage another spin for a second attack.

Thus, she only had this one Charged Strike. Yet with this single attack, she managed to bring down the Sixth Stage Winged Tiger from the sky and leave a wound, which was a source of pride for her at the Fourth Stage.

The Winged Tiger crashed to the ground, the severe pain in its forehead causing it to roar angrily into the sky once again.

It was at this moment that a dark silhouette quietly arrived.

The dim silhouette seemed to hover between illusion and reality, its faint ink-green color blending with the night. If one did not look carefully, it would be almost impossible to detect its presence.
