Chapter 344: Chapter 340: The Counterattack of the Cloud Winged Tiger Cub

Boom!

Two bolts of lightning, as thick as a child’s arm, closed off the Cloud Winged Tiger Cub’s path of retreat, one after the other, and their speed was extremely fast.

However, the Cloud Winged Tiger Cub was also formidable. In a critical moment, its massive body suddenly darted forward, evading the lightning bolt from behind. The cloud Qi around its body gathered, forming a whip-like tiger tail over ten meters long, which fiercely lashed out at the Thunder Light.

Crack!

The power of the Thunder Light was immensely strong, causing the Cloud Winged Tiger Cub’s tail to instantly turn charred black, as blue arcs of electricity began wildly coursing over the Cloud Winged Tiger’s entire body, causing its fur to stand on end as its massive body trembled uncontrollably.

Ye Zhen’s heart instantly rose into his throat.

In the sky, a successful strike from the claws of the Wind Winged Thunder Hawk, like a sharp knife, sliced towards the violently trembling Cloud Winged Tiger.

Caiyi’s expression suddenly became extremely tense.

A small smile stealthily crept onto the corner of Hand Extreme Bu Changtian’s mouth.

At the critical juncture, just as the Wind Winged Thunder Hawk’s claws were about to grab onto the Cloud Winged Tiger Cub’s forehead, the tiger cub’s legs went soft, and it swiftly rolled to the ground.

Slash!

A wound deep enough to see bone suddenly appeared on the Cloud Winged Tiger Cub’s back, as a massive amount of tiger blood sprayed out fiercely, but it fortunately avoided a fatal blow to its vital areas.

At this scene, Ye Zhen’s heart which had been in his throat relaxed slightly.

"What a pity, such fresh tiger blood, yet it’s wasted," said Tao Hui, a True Inheritor of Sword Origin Sect, who was dressed in their uniform, suddenly smirking.

The Sword Origin Sect, from top to bottom, now loathed Ye Zhen to the bone, wishing they could consume him alive. It was all too normal for the Sect’s True Inheritor Tao Hui to stand against Ye Zhen.

"Haha, Brother Tao, rest assured, if you like fresh tiger blood, after a while, you can take as much as you want," Hand Extreme Bu Changtian laughed heartily, as if he had already predicted the outcome of the battle.

Ye Zhen’s enemies were laughing, but Ye Zhen’s own expression became extremely tense.

The Wind Winged Thunder Hawk, full of spirit nature, inflicted a heavy blow to the Cloud Winged Tiger Cub, and immediately pursued unrelentingly, swooping down time after time from the sky, its sharp claws opening wound after wound on the Cloud Winged Tiger Cub’s body.

Even though the Cloud Winged Tiger Cub roared again and again, it inevitably fell into a situation of being attacked from all sides. Whether in a head-on clash or utilizing special spiritual power, the Wind Winged Thunder Hawk held a significant advantage.

Screech!

With a cry, the Wind Winged Thunder Hawk knocked the Cloud Winged Tiger Cub over with one claw, as a fierce tornado of wind element spiritual power swirled up. Its twin talons lashed out left and right, like knives, swiftly driving the Cloud Winged Tiger Cub into a dire situation.

Slash!

A burst of rapidly increasing wind element spiritual power shot from one of the talons, lightning-fast, slicing towards the neck of the Cloud Winged Tiger Cub, attempting to behead it.

At that moment, the Cloud Winged Tiger Cub had just steadied its stance, with no way to evade, it had no choice but to endure the hit.

However, the Cloud Winged Tiger Cub’s cultivation was already a level lower than the Wind Winged Thunder Hawk, and after sustaining successive injuries, its disadvantages piled up. Taking the hit head-on meant it couldn’t withstand it; even if the Cub wasn’t beheaded, its belly would still be gashed open.

In the blink of an eye, the Cloud Winged Tiger Cub faced a life-or-death moment.

"Xiaomao!"

In his desperation, Ye Zhen’s figure flickered momentarily, but before he could move, Hand Extreme Bu Changtian’s arm was already blocking him.

"Ye Zhen, we had an understanding from the start, this battle is merely between two demon servants, to decide the victor. Neither of us can intervene," he said.

"You should just calmly watch the rest of the match, refrain from interfering!"

Almost at the same time, Phantom Divine Sect’s True Inheritor Zuo Bin and Sword Origin Sect’s True Disciple Tao Hui hurriedly blocked Caiyi, who was attempting to rush to the Cloud Winged Tiger Cub’s rescue.

"You...," Caiyi was fuming with anger.

Ye Zhen’s eyes, however, suddenly turned red, "Xiaomao!"

The smile at the corner of Hand Extreme Bu Changtian’s mouth rapidly grew, but suddenly, Bu Changtian’s smile froze.

Even Mo Xinsui, who was about to leave the scene, was taken aback.

The other observers were momentarily dumbfounded, "Is this..."

At the brink of life and death, the Cloud Winged Tiger Cub’s body shrank as if it were a balloon with a hole, rapidly minimizing.

Almost in an instant, the Cloud Winged Tiger Cub’s form reduced from fifteen meters long and nine meters high to just five meters long and three meters high, decreasing threefold in size.

The Wind Winged Thunder Hawk’s fatal claw whiffed three meters above the Cloud Winged Tiger Cub’s head.

Universe Wishful Secret Technique.

At the crucial moment, the Cloud Winged Tiger Cub’s Universe Wishful Secret Technique, which it usually used to conceal its size, saved its life.

Those who were watching were dumbstruck by this turn of events.

It’s not too miraculous for demon beasts to be able to change their size.

After all, demon beasts with Spirit Wisdom, under the guidance of martial artists, can usually learn one or two secret techniques if the martial artist is patient enough.

But, being able to actively use it in combat, especially to save its own life, was extremely rare. This was not a level of Spirit Wisdom that ordinary demon beasts possess.

"Well done, Xiaomao!"

Ye Zhen’s face flushed with excitement as he clenched his fists fiercely.

Not far away, Zuo Bin and Tao Hui, who had intercepted Caiyi, looked somewhat ugly, having become the bad guys in vain.

Unnoticed by everyone, Caiyi, who they had blocked, stared deeply at Zuo Bin and Tao Hui, committing their faces to memory. In the future, no one would have guessed that this unjust act of interception would become the tragic origin of Zuo Bin and Tao Hui’s downfall.

The lethal blow had been avoided, but the Cloud Winged Tiger Cub’s shrinking in size did not stop.

Its body continued to shrink, down to nearly two meters in length and one meter in height.

The Universe Wishful Secret Technique’s performance in that crucial moment seemed to have opened a different door to battle for the Cloud Winged Tiger Cub.

In the subsequent fight, the Cloud Winged Tiger Cub maintained its petite size of close to two meters in length and about one meter tall.

This petite-sized Cloud Winged Tiger Cub, in front of the Wind Winged Thunder Hawk with a wingspan of seventy to eighty meters, appeared very weak, as if it could be easily killed by the Wind Winged Thunder Hawk.

But in reality, the opposite was true.

Normally, such a small size would be a huge disadvantage.

However, when this petite size possessed the Cloud Winged Tiger’s speed, it became exceedingly agile.

The Cloud Winged Tiger Cub’s original massive form could manipulate Cloud Qi and possess a speed comparable to the Wind Winged Thunder Hawk.

After shrinking almost tenfold, the Cloud Winged Tiger’s speed and agility had become incredibly frightening in an instant.

The speed that surpassed the Wind Winged Thunder Hawk and its incredible agility instantly turned the Wind Winged Thunder Hawk’s huge size advantage into a disadvantage.

With a light turn, the Cloud Winged Tiger Cub could evade the Wind Winged Thunder Hawk’s attack.

The next moment, the Wind Winged Thunder Hawk, infuriated from its failure to land a hit, let out another roar of rage, resorting to its ultimate move. Its two Thunder Wings slammed down crazily, wave after wave of Thunder Light pouring down on the Cloud Winged Tiger Cub like rainfall.

Facing the Wind Winged Thunder Hawk’s ultimate move, the Cloud Winged Tiger Cub took even more drastic action.

Its form swiftly shrunk again, instantly reducing to the size of a palm.

Then, the successive waves of Thunder Light from the Wind Winged Thunder Hawk became a beautiful display of fireworks.

Although the Thunder Light was fierce, in its palm-sized form, the Cloud Winged Tiger effortlessly dodged through the dense barrage of lightning strikes with a simple flicker.

And the Cloud Winged Tiger Cub’s speed was even faster than lightning, prompting the Cloud Qi with a gentle push, the onlookers felt as though in the blink of an eye, the Cloud Winged Tiger Cub had darted hundreds of meters away.

In the sky, the Wind Winged Thunder Hawk continued its mournful cries, hammering down four or five bolts of Thunder Light on the place where the Cloud Winged Tiger Cub had previously been, only to realize that the Cloud Winged Tiger was no longer there.

Dozens of breaths later, the Wind Winged Thunder Hawk, having launched hundreds of Thunder Light bolts in a frenzy, let out a powerless cry and stopped its assault. The Thunder Light that once densely covered its Thunder Wings had become unusually dim, even the flashing arcs were hardly visible.

The Wind Winged Thunder Hawk’s strength had actually been depleted by more than half by the Cloud Winged Tiger.

"Roar!"

Just then, the pint-sized Cloud Winged Tiger let out a provocative tiger roar at the Wind Winged Thunder Hawk, and the successive roars almost made Ye Zhen burst into laughter.

The Wind Winged Thunder Hawk’s earlier taunting and insults toward the Cloud Winged Tiger Cub were now being returned to it by the Cloud Winged Tiger Cub in kind.

The Wind Winged Thunder Hawk, already weakened from the loss of its Cultivation, let out another furiously angry cry and with claws outstretched, it pounced toward the Cloud Winged Tiger Cub like lightning.

Seeing this scene, Hand Extreme Bu Changtian suddenly had an ominous premonition.

Was Ye Zhen’s Cloud Winged Tiger somewhat demoniac?

The Martial Artists who had been disinterested in watching the battle now perked up, their spirits lifted. From the moment the Cloud Winged Tiger Cub used the Universe Wishful Secret Technique, the outcome of the battle had become unpredictable.

Due to its significant loss of Cultivation, the Wind Winged Thunder Hawk launched into the most ferocious close combat with the Cloud Winged Tiger Cub.

But in the face of the miniature Cloud Winged Tiger, any attack from the Wind Winged Thunder Hawk seemed like... using an anti-aircraft gun to hit a mosquito.

Even the gusts caused by its claw strikes were enough to blow the pint-sized Cloud Winged Tiger Cub away; however, Ye Zhen, who was familiar with the Cloud Winged Tiger Cub, knew that was merely the tiger using the force to its advantage.

Suddenly, the Wind Winged Thunder Hawk’s lightning-fast claws reached out to grasp the miniature Cloud Winged Tiger Cub, like an eagle snatching a chick.

But the eagle’s talons were too big, so large that before they could clasp shut, the Cloud Winged Tiger Cub had already floated upward with great speed.

In an instant, the miniature Cloud Winged Tiger Cub had drifted more than ten meters away from the Wind Winged Thunder Hawk, at an equal height.

At that moment, a tremendous surge of blue Spiritual Power exploded forth, and the miniature Cloud Winged Tiger Cub instantly returned to its True Body size.

As if the Cloud Winged Tiger Cub had deliberately controlled and calculated its move, its True Body reappeared just in time next to the Wind Winged Thunder Hawk’s side.

Revealing its True Body in a flash, the Cloud Winged Tiger Cub opened its massive jaws wide and with a fierce lunge of its head, it clamped onto the Wind Winged Thunder Hawk’s neck.

Then, it bit down hard.

The next instant, the Cloud Winged Tiger Cub’s terrifying bite force erupted in full, letting out a cringe-inducing sound of bones being crushed that crackled through the air like popping beans.

Crack!

The head of the Wind Winged Thunder Hawk fell from the sky like a kite with its string cut, and hot bird blood flowed down from the heavens like a waterfall of blood.

The rest of the Wind Winged Thunder Hawk’s body, still held in the jaws of the Cloud Winged Tiger Cub. (To be continued. If you enjoy this work, you are welcome to vote for it at Qidian. Your support is my biggest motivation. Mobile users please visit m.qidian.com to read.)
