Chapter 121: 120

The illusory light and shadow, almost imperceptible, swept in, and by the time the Winged Tiger noticed it, it was already right in front of its eyes.The fur on the back of the Winged Tiger stood on end in an instant, and the fatal threat triggered its latent potential suddenly.

The green Wind Protective Energy burst out once more, ready to forcefully defend, or at least mitigate some of the power of the attack.

However, in the very moment when its Wind Protective Energy was released, the Winged Tiger was shocked to discover that the wind element around it had disappeared. Yes, in that split second, gone. Although it was only the wind element within a five-meter radius centered on its body that had temporarily vanished, with a denser presence of wind element not far away, distant waters cannot quench an immediate thirst!

From a distance, Tang San's eyes flashed a touch of pearlescent light, a glow that was fleeting.

The next moment, the shadowy dark green figure, resembling a ghost, had already pierced into the other eye of the Winged Tiger that hadn't been blinded.

The roar of the Winged Tiger choked off abruptly as if stuck in its throat, with only a feeble "hui'er hui'er" sound left. Its strong body stiffly fell to the ground in the very next second, and blood gushed from all its orifices at once.

The shadow that had entered its eye completely crushed its brain, killing it instantly, and it was now dead beyond any doubt.

On Wu Bingji's side, another thick wall of ice had just been formed. Through the translucent ice wall, he watched the Winged Tiger collapse helplessly to the ground, still unsure of what had transpired.

Up in the air, Cheng Zicheng finally managed to stabilize his form after the collision, but still looked somewhat dazed, not yet comprehending the situation.

Gu Li, too, had just managed to stabilize himself against the raging winds and rush back. The battle, over!

"It's done!" Tang San's voice sounded, snapping everyone out of their shock. When they turned their heads to look at Tang San again, their eyes couldn't help but change.

How had he done it? This was the question on everyone's mind.

Tang San said, "I built up and gave it a compressed little wind blade that entered its eye and probably crushed its brain. It had expended a lot after colliding with the eldest senior brother and couldn't dodge or defend effectively."

In fact, it could never have dodged it. What Tang San released just now wasn't a wind blade but a Wind Needle. Concentrating a Wind Needle is much more difficult than an ice needle. So even with Tang San's Spiritual Power, it required time to finish.

If it weren't for the qualitative leap in his Spiritual Power just now, accomplishing such control would have been nearly impossible.

When the Wind Needle was formed, even Tang San felt a trace of fear. The Wind Needle, propelled by his Spiritual Power, was naturally as accurate as could be.

At the same time, he attempted to use his spirit control power for the first time. After fusing with the Heavenly Fox Eye, he renamed that white Mark, which was already at the forefront, as the Spirit Rhinoceros Eye.

Unlike the previous Spirit Rhinoceros Heart Eye that could clearly see the different elements in the air, the evolved Spirit Rhinoceros Eye could even control these discerned elements within a certain range. It didn't matter what element it was.

So, in that instant just now, it was Tang San who utilized the Spirit Rhinoceros Eye to first disperse the wind element around the Winged Tiger and then the Wind Needle struck, delivering a fatal blow.

With the penetrative power of the Wind Needle, it might have pierced through the Wind Protective Energy regardless, but to be safe and for a novel trial, Tang San activated the Spirit Rhinoceros Eye for the first time. The result was even better than expected. Sixth Stage Winged Tiger, dead!

It wasn't until this moment that Gu Li and Wu Bingji started to catch their breath. The battle had been extremely tense for them, and only now could they finally relax.

Turning to Tang San, he gave a thumbs-up, unable to see how Tang San had accomplished the feat because of the ice wall. But regardless, the Winged Tiger was dead, that much was certain. They truly had hunted a Winged Tiger.

It wasn't the lowest Fifth Stage juvenile Winged Tiger, nor the fully grown Seventh Stage Winged Tiger, but a Sixth Stage Winged Tiger positioned between the two.

A Winged Tiger, a Demon Beast of such kind, was a treasure in its entirety, and although the value differed from stage to stage, the actual gap wasn't that minimal. Its fur would not decrease in value due to its stage, and most other parts were similar. Moreover, the fur of this Winged Tiger was almost completely intact, without any damage, which made it even more precious. If not ten Elemental Coins, then certainly eight.

We've struck it rich! Even with Wu Bingji's composed temperament, he knew they were about to make a fortune.

Moreover, their mission had been completed, and this venture was definitely a huge success.

"He really killed it. Tang San, you're too amazing," Du Bai exclaimed with a face full of surprise as he sat on a tree branch.

In fact, only he had seen clearly how Tang San had made his move earlier.

From his vantage point in the tree, he had watched Tang San gathering strength, and he could even vaguely see circles of cyan light converging in the palm of Tang San's hand. As the cyan light gathered, it kept compressing. What was finally shot out was a dark, ink-green shadow that was almost indistinguishable in the night. With his vision, he could only make out that it was a thin beam of light.

At that moment, Du Bai felt something special. Tang San was facing away from him, but when he released that attack, Du Bai, for some reason, suddenly felt a particularly familiar sensation from him. And then the Winged Tiger was dead.

Tang San approached Wu Bingji and Gu Li, "Are you both alright?" seaʀᴄh thё Novёlƒire.n(e)t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Wu Bingji smiled and said, "Aside from consuming a bit too much energy and feeling a bit tense, everything else is fine. I need to quickly take care of the body so the smell of blood doesn't spread. Our mission is considered complete. This is the outer circle of the Winged Tiger's territory. After cleaning up the body, we can leave overnight. We can't stay here any longer. Just in case…"

He had just reached that point when suddenly, an alarmed shout rang out, "Ah!"

Everyone turned to look, only to see Du Bai had fallen from the tree branch.

A flash of orange light, and the speed of Golden Peng Transformation was fully displayed in this instant. Almost a fraction of a second before Du Bai was about to hit the ground, Cheng Zicheng caught his body.

"What's the matter with you? Can't you even sit still?" Cheng Zicheng chided.

"No, it's not…" Du Bai's voice was shaking violently. It was only then that Cheng Zicheng noticed that his pupils were emitting a faint white glow, while tears incessantly streamed down his face.

"Danger, there is danger," Du Bai said with a trembling voice.

Seeing this scene, Tang San couldn't help but his face drastically change.

The Heavenly Fox Eye is the Eye of Luck, and now that it was subjected to such intense stimulation, what did that mean?

Previously, the Sixth Stage Winged Tiger's arrival did not elicit such a reaction from the Heavenly Fox Eye, indicating there wasn't much danger.

However at this moment, Tang San himself also distinctly felt heat in his eyes, as if tears were about to flow, with tingling in his scalp and as though a chill was sweeping over his back.

"Not good!"

Without any hesitation, Wu Bingji immediately collected the Winged Tiger's body close by and shouted, "Chengzi, take Du Bai and go first. We need to retreat."

"Roar——" Just then, a deafening roar erupted. Amidst this roar were emotions of raging fury, and in an instant, leaves fell like rain from the trees. The five individuals preparing to flee from the spot all felt a stagnation in their blood flow; besides Tang San, everyone else felt a weakness throughout their bodies.

At this moment, they didn't need to guess to understand what had happened; they had killed the young, and it seemed… the old one had come.

I feel like this part I've written is coming into its own, gradually revealing the world of the Demon God Transformation. It lays the groundwork for the overall background of the world, including the plot setup, and the unfolding of Tang San's advancement direction, among other things. The content that follows will be even more splendid; thank you for all your support. I know the death of Xiaowu at the end of Ultimate Douluo caused everyone a lot of pain. In this part, I will distribute more sweetness; how does that sound?
