The White Tiger did not give him time to dwell on it. The attack came head-on, the agility and strength of the cultivator intertwining with the wild ferocity of the beast. In an instant, the wind and clouds shifted, a fierce gale rising...
The White Tiger was gradually enveloped by a circle of red and white spiritual energy. Each attack carried a powerful force and killing intent! Despite its massive size, its movements were in no way hindered.
Meanwhile, Venerable Lou Yun was bathed in white and purple light, spiritual energy erupting with every move. His techniques were graceful and magnificent, interspersed with electric currents of lightning, capable of causing numbness with the slightest touch.
Their clash ignited a spiritual storm, filling the entire sky with explosive roars! The light was blindingly intense!
Jin Bao'er, who was in the midst of recuperating, was abruptly awakened by the commotion. Looking up, she saw waves of pressure emanating from the distant sky. Countless balls of spiritual energy rained down from above, smashing the ground into craters...
"Roar!! Roar! Roar!"
Accompanied by the roars of demonic beasts, the Seven Desolations Forest was thrown into complete frenzy. The ground rumbled with the tremors of tens of thousands of colossal beasts on the run, cheering!
As if a thought struck her, she quickly flew outwards. Before long, as expected, she witnessed an astonishing scene!
Innumerable demonic beasts poured out of the forest, howling madly at the sky! The wild aura of the beasts assaulted her senses, as if all of them were releasing their emotions, expressing their reverence.
What Jin Bao'er didn't notice was that the frenzy of the demonic beasts also stirred a certain slumbering cub.
At the same moment, the unusual changes in the sky drew the attention of other powerful cultivators on the Cultivation Continent. Countless cultivators stopped what they were doing, looking up in astonishment! Even from thousands of miles away, they could faintly sense the prowess of such powerful beings!
"Seven Desolations Forest... what exactly has happened?"
In a secluded corner, an old man emerged from his cave dwelling, gazing up at the sky with a sigh.
"Quick! The Ancestor has emerged from seclusion!!"
...
At this moment, Jin Bao'er couldn't help but be stunned by the scene before her. She also realized that her escape route was blocked by demonic beasts. If she dared to show herself now, she would likely be torn to shreds by tens of thousands of them on the spot!
The hatred of the demonic beasts... had been suppressed for too long!
"Boom!!"
Following a colossal explosion of energy in the sky, two figures rapidly descended from above...
Victory or defeat had been decided!
The once arrogant and powerful Venerable Lou Yun's face was now ashen, his lips bruised and bleeding. His magic robe was torn to shreds by sharp claws, leaving him bloody. A chunk of flesh was missing from his thigh!
The White Tiger was not faring any better. Its white fur was stained with blood, and several areas were charred black by lightning. Its skin was ripped open, revealing its battered state. The fur on its head stood on end, looking utterly pathetic!
Both figures fell from the sky simultaneously. However, Venerable Lou Yun landed near the edge of the forest, while the White Tiger descended closer to the center...
Perhaps it was an unconscious action, but their landing positions were surprisingly close to Jin Bao'er's location.
The colossal being falling from the sky naturally terrified the surrounding demonic beasts, scattering them in all directions. It finally landed heavily, creating a six-meter-wide, three-meter-deep crater in the ground...
Jin Bao'er watched from a nearby tall tree, observing the scene. A group of demonic beasts also peeked out from around, seemingly wanting to check on the White Tiger's injuries, but for some reason, none dared to approach.
As Jin Bao'er watched with a cold gaze, Long Li Xing finally spoke! His voice carried a hint of weakness, clearly indicating that his previous forceful manifestation of his dragon form had drained him significantly.
"He is still alive. If you were to act now, given the nature of demonic beasts, they would be endlessly grateful to you!"
His words jolted Jin Bao'er awake. She raised an eyebrow and retorted sarcastically.
"Senior speaks too easily. If I dared to approach, those beasts would pounce on me and tear me to shreds! If Senior wishes to save him, why don't you go yourself?"
That's right! She held a grudge!
He had promised to face danger directly, and she had obediently gone in. Who knew he would directly awaken the White Tiger and nearly get her killed by it!
This guy, on the other hand, used his dragon form to intimidate everyone, then immediately retreated, leaving her alone to face the danger! She might be cold-hearted, but she wasn't without temper!
Hearing Jin Bao'er's tone for the first time, Long Li Xing was taken aback. He usually mocked this little girl, but now it was the other way around?
Ha! Who knew this little girl had such a fiery temper!
"Tch... you really hold a grudge! Alright! Then I shall go and save him."
As soon as he finished speaking, before Jin Bao'er could even question how he would act, her entire body lost its control!!
She could only watch helplessly as her body leaped from the tree. Her defensive array activated, blocking all approaching demonic beasts. Then, she jumped in, grabbed the demonic beast, and pulled it directly to the ground!
After everything was done, the control of her body returned to her. She stood still, her expression instantly darkening!
"You... you controlled my body again!"
Long Li Xing chuckled, his tone indifferent.
"You said it yourself, didn't you? If I wanted to save him, I should go myself... I thought you agreed."
Jin Bao'er was speechless! Her face flushed slightly... Don't misunderstand! She was angry!
"Say it again, you are not allowed to control my body again, or I will throw the pearls away!"
Faced with the girl's fierce threat, Long Li Xing, looking at her flushed face through the immortal mansion, couldn't help but laugh.
"Alright, alright, I promise you!"
A warmth spread through his heart, though he failed to notice the doting and helplessness in his tone.
Having received a positive answer, Jin Bao'er finally relented. She turned to look at the White Tiger, which was on the verge of death on the ground, and pursed her lips slightly.
Indeed, it was a demonic beast. Impulsive! Powerful! Wild! Arrogant! It dared to charge at a cultivator at the Out-of-Body stage, knowing the danger. In its current state, it probably couldn't even defeat those at the Soul Transformation stage!
But then again, she bore some responsibility. If she hadn't added fuel to the fire, the beast wouldn't have been so badly injured.
"Fine! Consider it me repaying you this time."
With that said, she took out a Tan Ning Pill and gave it to the White Tiger, then bandaged its external wounds. Every movement was closely watched by thousands of eyes, a considerable pressure.
After she finished, she picked up the White Tiger's body and looked calmly at the numerous hostile gazes surrounding her.
"Make way! It's injured, and those people will be here soon to deliver the final blow. Do you want it to die?"
The demonic beasts seemed not to understand her words, making no move to retreat. Jin Bao'er grew impatient. Suddenly, the White Tiger on her back let out a... "murmur"?
"Meow~"
Hearing this meow again, Jin Bao'er was stunned! She glanced back at the big cat snoring soundly behind her, a three-meter-long creature, acting like a kitten.
Strangely, the demonic beasts in front of her parted the way...
Jin Bao'er looked at the large creature on her back and noticed the hostility in the surrounding beasts' eyes gradually fading. She quickly headed towards the depths of the forest.
