Chương 40: Killing the Tiger

Biên tập viên: Nyoi-Bo Studio

The item that contributed the most to the mission was the Level Two high-grade magic equipment that Lu Chaoling created, the "Thousand-Ton Jade Suppression Plate."

Early last year, the Stonemother that had been defeated left behind an Energy Stone Essence. Lu Qing then provided the clan a Thousand-Ton Heavy Earth. Lu Chaoling was handed these two high-quality materials and tasked to create a piece of magic equipment.

It was estimated that the item would only be completed in two years. However, Lu Chaoling managed to advance to become a Level Two high-grade forger during the process of forging the equipment. Thus, the equipment was completed before the projected end date.

And because Lu Chaoling had managed to complete the magic equipment earlier than scheduled, the Lu Clan was able to shift their plan to hunt the Tiger King forward.

The effects of the Level Two high-grade magic equipment were exceptional.

Lu Chaohe was only a third-tier Foundation Building cultivator. Logically, in terms of raw power, he should have been much weaker than the Level Two high-grade Tiger King. However, when he used the Thousand-Ton Jade Suppression Plate, not only did he manage to defend against the confident attack of the Tiger King with relative ease, but also the Level Two high-grade magic equipment barely moved under the full impact of the demonic beast.

"Seventh Brother, control the Thousand-Ton Jade Suppression Plate and defend us well," Lu Chaoxi instructed. He summoned his flying sword and sent it cleaving toward the Tiger King.

"All right!" Lu Chaohe stood at his original position and tried his best to control the magic equipment.

Out of all the cultivators who were there, only he, as an earth-element cultivator, could control the Thousand-Ton Jade Suppression Plate. Furthermore, since his ability limited him, he could not move while he was controlling the defensive magic equipment, nor could he use other techniques or other pieces of magic equipment. He became a tool that could only be used to protect the team.

Fortunately, the Thousand-Ton Jade Suppression Plate could be moved. Thus, Lu Chaohe could predict the direction where the Tiger King was heading by observing its movements before activating the magic equipment and blocking off the demonic beast's path, obstructing it, and protecting his team.

The main attackers of the team were Lu Chaoxi and Lu Mingchao.

Before Lu Chaoxi attacked, Lu Mingchao summoned a ball of poison mist and sent it toward the large tiger.

However, even though the Tiger King looked large and bulky, it was also extremely agile. Lu Chaoxi controlled his flying sword and waved it around in the air. Despite that, he only managed to hit the Tiger King once and leave behind a scar after it had become dizzy from the impact with the defensive equipment. His subsequent attacks were easily avoided by the other party. Lu Mingchao's poison mist was slower than the flying sword. It could not envelop the Tiger King and only managed to corrode a field of mossy rocks.

At the same time, the attacks of the Qi Refining cultivators also mostly missed their mark.

The other cultivators only managed to hit the fierce tiger with their attacks just now because the latter had disregarded those attacks. The demonic beast did not think that the Qi Refining cultivators could harm it.

However, now that it cared to dodge the attacks, none of the Qi Refining cultivators could land their techniques.

"Don't attack as you wish. Follow the rehearsals, and get into formation!" Lu Chaohe observed the movements of the Tiger King, and then he issued an order to the Qi Refining cultivators of the clan.

The Qi Refining cultivators reacted accordingly. They no longer launched their attacks blindly. Instead, they spread out and readjusted their positions. Their positions and the distance between them were all specially planned. They surrounded the large tiger.

A Level Two high-grade demonic beast would not have developed spiritual sense yet. However, their instincts would have become exceptionally sensitive, given that they were nourished continuously by spiritual energy. The large tiger had the vague sense that its life would be in danger if these puny humans managed to complete their formation.

Thus, it let out another furious roar. The demonic beast's threatening roar caused the legs of the cultivators around it to turn limp. Their figures keeled over and looked about to fall.

It seized the opportunity and sprinted forward in one direction.

It could already sense the threat that these humans posed. It did not intend to fight anymore. It only wanted to escape.

However, at this moment, the Thousand-Ton Jade Suppression Plate proved its worth once again.

While the tiger was running, the solid defensive equipment once again blocked off its path.

The Demon Tiger would not repeat its mistakes. Now that it had the memory of the defensive equipment, it stopped in its tracks the moment the Thousand-Ton Jade Suppression Plate appeared in front of it. It tensed all of its muscles and then relaxed. Its toned body released an explosive force. The force it released pushed its body quickly to the side and away from the troublesome defensive equipment.

However, in that instant, its footsteps suddenly staggered.

A pale blue rope had coiled around its hind leg.

It was Lu Mingchao's Broken Yin Water Rope!

It was not hard for the Tiger King to deal with a Level Two low-grade restraining-type magic equipment. It should not have trouble freeing itself from the rope by using its powerful body. However, even though the Broken Yin Water Rope was not strong enough to restrain the physical body of its target, it had the critical function of sealing off its target's soul.

The soul of the fierce tiger started to struggle violently. It knew that it would lose its life if it were trapped here.

Lu Mingchao suddenly felt a powerful pressure. Lu Mingchao and the tiger were engaged in an intense battle on the soul level through the Broken Yin Water Rope. She lacked experience in these kinds of battles. Furthermore, the Tiger King was much more powerful than her. She was at a disadvantage for the moment.

Her chest felt tight, and her nostrils were moist. Blood flowed out of her nose.

The effects of an impact on the soul were large.

However, Lu Mingchao did not give up. She propped her tongue up against the roof of her mouth and pressed on.

"Mingchao?" Lu Chaoxi was extremely worried when he witnessed this scene.

Lu Mingchao could not answer.

Lu Chaoxi did not question her further. Instead, he formed a hand gesture and started to cast the "Xuanyin Yang Lightning Incantation."

The opportunity his sister created was excellent.

The Tiger King was unlike the slow-moving Stonemother that they had dealt with a year and a half ago. The Tiger King had a large body but was exceptionally agile. He had not used the Xuanyin Yang Lightning Incantation directly just now as the incantation technique required some time to prepare. He needed to aim, and it was easy for the technique to miss. Not only would he waste a large amount of spiritual strength if the technique did not hit the target, but also the Demon Tiger would become more cautious after they lost the element of surprise. If that were the case, then it would not be easy to hit the technique the next time.

Now, the Tiger King was rendered immobile by the Broken Yin Water Rope. It was the best time for him to attack.

He heard the sound of Mingchao vomiting blood. At that instant, her sister had lost to the Demon Tiger in the battle between their souls. That meant that the Demon Tiger was about to escape its restraints.

However, Lu Chaoxi had completed preparing the Lightning Elemental Technique!

A bolt of incandescent golden lightning that harbored his fury cleaved down toward the tiger!

The Demon Tiger instantly sensed the abnormality above its head. It disregarded the discomfort its soul felt after having just freed itself from its restraints and attempted to avoid the attack. However, it was too late. The lightning struck its back.

The Demon Tiger was much faster and fiercer than the Stonemother. It even could hide its aura and avoid detection. However, its defensive capabilities were not as strong as the Stonemother's.

The Stonemother could bear the brunt of three to five bolts of lightning. However, the Demon Tiger became severely injured after being hit by just one.

However, it could still move. It could still run.

Lu Chaohe also joined in the attack. He kept the Thousand-Ton Jade Suppression Plate and whipped out his Combat Rock Control Seal. A heavy earth-element spiritual energy pressed down on the Demon Tiger. The difference in ability between a third-tier Foundation Building cultivator and the Demon Tiger was huge. However, the Demon Tiger had been heavily injured and thus was still affected by the earth-element spiritual energy. It could not move as it wished.

Under the consecutive attacks, the formation of the clan's cultivators took shape.

This was the Five Punishment Yang Formation. It required multiples of five cultivators to cast. The spiritual strength of 20 cultivators became one and pressed itself onto the body of the Demon Tiger.

If the demonic beast were at its peak condition, then the tiger might have struggled. However, it clearly had no strength left. At the same time, the spiritual strength seemed to take the shape of a punishment tool. It whipped the body of the tiger and caused it to howl in pain.

Seizing the opportunity, Lu Chaoxi recovered his energy for a short while before he summoned another bolt of golden lightning.

Struck by lightning, the breath of the Demon Tiger quickly stopped.
