Immortal Path to Heaven c1-725

by Heaven's White Crane

  The insect was still jumping around under the tiger’s nose.

  Although the big multicolored tiger’s strength increased with time, its comprehension in nature was far from a human’s, hence it could not understand the magical effect of the integration of Heaven and man

  Nevertheless, even when the tiger only relied on its oppressive strength, it always had the upper hand.

  It could always give He Liangce enormous pressure with every attack made, and as long as the young master made a mistake, he would be threatened by death.

  Despite that, He Liangce maintained a good mental state since the beginning. He kept a straight face, but his eyes were bright. The big tiger’s reactions were always within He Liangce’s expectations, so he could make suitable judgments and come up with the best counterattack measure in advance.

  This was the reason He Liangce could hold on for a long time despite the big tiger’s ruthlessness.

  Even then, it was not easy for him to constantly stay in the state of the integration of Heaven and man.

  He Liangce exhaled deeply after he dodged the big tiger’s attack once more.

  ‘I’ve stalled it for quite some time. I can probably escape now.’

  However, it was then that he subconsciously thought about what Ou Yangming said before he left.

  ‘Stall it for now—I’ll come back!’

  He Liangce shook his head to cast that thought aside and wondered, ‘It has been nearly an hour. Ou Yangming must’ve escaped with Ni Yinghong, he definitely won’t come back.

  ‘Besides, how could Ni Yinghong let him come back to court his death?

  ‘This big multicolored tiger is frightening. Even if he’s here, we might be able to escape from the beast, but we can’t slaughter it.’

  He Liangce made his decision.

  He retrieved an item and threw it at the big tiger.

  Even though the tiger was stamping with rage, it had already taken notice of the little insect in front of it. The moment the big tiger saw something flying in its direction, it paused and slapped the item.

  “Pow…”

  The item exploded and burst out in all directions.

  It was an explosive wolf fang, one of the many fangs that Ou Yangming gave to him.

  The wolf fang was extremely powerful after it exploded, and its mightiness was hair-raising, but the half-spirit beast’s skin was so tough that it was unreasonable.

  While the bits from the exploded wolf fang were forceful, they could not puncture the tiger’s skin at all.

  The big multicolored tiger looked coldly at the holes around him and was indifferent. ‘How did this little toy scare me?’

  He Liangce’s face changed, and he tossed another wolf fang at the beast. This time, the big tiger casually slapped the fang away and caused it to explode again. The explosive wolf fang would be able to destroy an ordinary ferocious beast or even a group of beasts, but it was weak and powerless against the half-spirit beast.

  He Liangce seemed to be at his wit’s end. He yelled and threw another wolf fang.

  Once again, the big multicolored tiger slapped with its paw, but just as it did, it vaguely felt something extra on the fang. “Pow…”

  Dense yellow smoke instantly burst out beneath the big tiger’s paw, and the smoke spread out as fast as a sudden thunderclap.

  In a flash, the yellow smoke shrouded over the area.

  “Roar, roar, roar…”

  Furious roars were heard coming from the big tiger amid the smoke as the tiger became immensely infuriated.

  ‘How dare this little insect tease me? It really deserves to die.’

  Though the yellow smoke spread out fast, it dispersed quickly too, thus it disappeared after a brief moment.

  The big multicolored tiger stood still on the ground. Its body was so full of killing intent that it could kill someone.

  Nonetheless, the little insect in front of the tiger was already nowhere to be found.

  The big tiger wrinkled its nose and widened its fierce eyes, but it did not make a move even after a long time. This was because the yellow smoke had a unique power that caused it to lose its sense of smell and tracking ability for some time.

  As such, the big multicolored tiger was enraged, and it became more feverish. Just as it was on the verge of going mad, it twitched its ears. When the tiger suddenly turned to look, its tail bent high up, and the snakehead had a sinister look in its eyes.

  “Roar…”

  An earth-shattering roar echoed between Heaven and Earth again.

  X ***

  He Liangce was speeding in the dense forest, but he kept an elegant bearing and step technique.

  The elegance had already fused into his bones and became one of his instincts.

  A rather proud smile could be seen on He Liangce’s face, and he seemed very relaxed as though the long fight, which lasted for an hour, did not affect him greatly at all. Everything was due to his relaxed mental state.

  The half-spirit beast was not an ordinary beast at all, and when compared to the giant wolf king that He Liangce encountered earlier, the former was a bright moon while the latter was a firefly—they were on different levels.

  If the giant wolf king was similar to a powerhouse who had just entered Yang Grade, the bit multicolored tiger was equivalent to an experienced Supreme Great Ancestor.

  There was a huge disparity between them.

  He Liangce’s martial arts cultivation base was only at the peak of Yang Grade.

  Even so, he contended with a Supreme Great Ancestor for such a long time. Although the great ancestor was not a human but a half-spirit beast, he would gain a huge reputation if word spread.

  Needless to say, He Liangce was delighted that he benefited greatly from the experience.

  After all, the comprehension during a battle of life or death was the more important reward.

  When He Liangce heard the vague roars coming from behind him, he smiled brighter than before.

  He was extremely confident about the yellow smoke that he released because it was a unique treasure from his clan, and it was specially made to be used against powerful half-spirit beasts.

  The young master did not have many of those treasures and each one of them was valuable, but he did not regret using it.

  He soon sped up a little because he should not stay for too long in the dangerous place.

  That said, the big tiger’s roars were heard again.

  He Liangce took another few steps before he halted. The smile on his face remained, but he looked rather confused.

  “The roars sound quite strange…’

  Earlier on, the big multicolored tiger’s roars were loud and clear, but it sounded like it was regretful, angry, and was not resigned to the outcome.

  On the opposite, the roars now were…

  ‘Why does it sound excited and happy?’

  When a thought crossed He Liangce’s mind, the smile of his face slowly froze.

  He mumbled, “Oh my god, that’s impossible! It’s definitely impossible…”

  However, his legs seemed to have been filled with lead because he could not take even half a step forward anymore.

  After a moment of hesitation, He Liangce made his decision. Instead of escaping further away, he turned and made his way back quietly.

  He had tried his best to disguise it, but he was still traveling at the speed of light. Before long, he was near to where he escaped from.

  As He Liangce became closer to the area, his face took on a grim expression.

  This was because he heard whistling sounds, as well as exchanges of blows.

  He could not see the exact situation of the fight yet, but even if he pondered with his toes, he could tell who was fighting the big multicolored tiger at that moment.

  For some reason, He Liangce raged with fire. ‘Has that fella really gone mad? ‘I spared no effort in stalling the beast and even used a precious treasure of mine, which was why I was lucky enough to escape from the big
tiger. ‘I’m a Yang Grade powerhouse, but it was already such a strenuous fight for me, so why are you, a small Yin Grade martial artist, here to get involved?

  ‘Besides, didn’t you want to kill me earlier? Why did you suddenly become so passionate and impulsive?

  ‘And Ni Yinghong that young lady-she looks so smart, but she’s a big idiot during a crucial moment!

  ‘Did she send him here for him to court his death?’

  While He Liangce was outraged, deep down, his heart pounded.

  “This fella’s an extremely rash person. Even if I save him now, he won’t be able to live for long, but…” He Liangce mumbled after he exhaled deeply, then he shook his head and said, “His talent is quite useful, so I’ll need him for sure when we fight it in the future. I’ll be generous and save him this time!”

  He Liangce seemed to have convinced himself, so he flashed and dashed over at a higher speed than before.

  When he spread out his body, he looked like he had transformed into a big bird that instantly shuttled through the dense forest and arrived outside the fight scene.

  Sure enough, the big multicolored tiger was fighting to kill a person. That person kept evading the tiger’s attacks by utilizing the terrain and the environment. In addition, the person was holding a long spear, which was quite an eyesore in the situation. It was incredibly difficult to wield the spear given the circumstances, but the person rather dodged with the spear than letting it go.

  On the spur of the moment, the person stopped and pointed the spear tip downward. He stood facing the tiger at a distance away.

  Next, he went away with his spear.

  The big multicolored tiger roared and transformed into a colorful light to pursue the person, causing the distance between them to be drawn closer again.

  He Liangce sighed. ‘How can you flee in a straight line when you’re up against a big multicolored tiger? You’re getting yourself killed!’

  “Idiot!” He Liangce uttered, then he held his folding fan horizontally and channeled his Qi from his dantian into his legs. With bright eyes, the young master charged at the beast. As the big tiger pounced on his target aggressively, He Liangce perfectly hit his fan 20 centimeters below the snakehead.

  Chapter 200 - Idiot

  Chapter 200 Idiot

  Ou Yangming traveled at the speed of light with his spear. After the long-distance raid, the bamboo became as tough as steel, which was the same as the wooden stick that he had previously seen. Moreover, the spear tip that was embedded in the handle had merged strangely. Ou Yangming tested it with his power, but even when he had pieces of equipment that gave him extra power, he could not move the spear tip out of its place at all.

  As his Military Fire burned, the spear’s properties were displayed.

  [Item: Peerless spear]

  (Equivalent Rank: Magic Tool, Common Grade, Rank One]

  [Attributes: Sharpness +21, Toughness +21, Durability 21)

  Although no Unique Attributes were layered to the weapon, the word ‘Magic Tool’ was enough to make Ou Yangming satisfied.

  When Ou Yangming exerted force on the tip of his toes and hurried on with his journey, his essence, energy, and spirit slowly rose. His breathing became calmer, his feet became faster, and his body was in an absolutely balanced state.

  All of a sudden, his Military Fire emerged from his palm and extended to the spear. The spear handle was made of bamboo, but no burn marks were seen even when the fire burned.

  It was as if the Military Fire from this world could not burn the foreign object.

  Powerful attributes were layered in the spear until the weapon arrived at the peak.

  Afterward, Ou Yangming’s Military Fire was still vigorous, but he could not layer more attributes to it.

  Before this, Ou Yangming could sense the feeling of saturation when he smithed a piece of equipment and layered it with Unique Attributes. If he continued to bind more attributes, the equipment would automatically explode because it could not withstand the additions.

  On the other hand, the spear gave Ou Yangming a completely different feeling. Even though his Military Fire could not attach more Power attributes, the maximum number of withstandable attributes in the spear had surpassed the upper limit of his ability.

  Sure enough, a magic tool could not be compared by an ordinary tool.

  Once Ou Yangming’s Military Fire disappeared, the spear’s properties were displayed in his mind again.

  [Item: Peerless spear (Orange)]

  (Equivalent Rank: Magic Tool, Common Grade, Rank One)

  [Attributes: Sharpness +21, Toughness +21, Power +7, Devouring +2, Durability 21]

  Ou Yangming immediately had lofty sentiments when he sensed the absurd attributes. He put more force in the tip of his toes to speed up once more.

  At last, Ou Yangming almost arrived at his destination.

  “Roar…”

  Coincidentally, a shrill and violent roar was heard ahead.

  Ou Yangming was moved. He was surprised and overjoyed.

  ‘He Liangce really didn’t let me down-he persevered. But the big multicolored tiger’s roar sounds unusual. Is it injured?’

  A ferocious beast was the most terrifying when it was injured.

  How would a half-spirit beast become if it was injured?

  Ou Yangming accelerated again and traveled at his maximum speed without any hesitation.

  He suddenly saw the light because he noticed the big multicolored tiger through the Vision attribute and the integration of Heaven and man.

  The moment Ou Yangming noticed the big tiger, it roared again and charged at him.

  Ou Yangming’s face took on a ghastly expression. He and the tiger were incredibly fast, and while they spotted each other from a distance away, they became close to each other in a split second. “Roar…”

  The big multicolored tiger leaned forward and released an intensely vicious aura that could almost suppress Ou Yangming.

  Ou Yangming moved his wrist and swung his spear in the narrow space in the dense forest. He aimed it at the big tiger’s nose.

  The big tiger was suddenly afraid. It was worth noting that its body was extremely valiant such that the explosive wolf fangs could not hurt it at all. Besides, when the tiger exchanged blows with He Liangce just now, the latter could not hurt the former at all even when he adopted almost all his tricks.

  However, the mighty tiger was somehow fearful at this moment.

  A cold feeling, which was familiar yet strange at the same time, was released from Ou Yangming’s spear. On top of that, an indescribable feeling of fear accompanied it.

  The big tiger was no longer unbothered as it lifted its paw and swung its claws at Ou Yangming.

  Ou Yangming stopped abruptly in mid-air, then he fell down as though his weight had increased several times. The young fellow’s spear shifted to another angle simultaneously as he intended to stab through the claws’ gap.

  Nonetheless, though the big multicolored tiger never learned wonderful techniques, its innate fighting ability was not inferior at all. The tiger turned its claws and headed for Ou Yangming’s spear.

  It seemed to have noticed something odd about the spear tip, and it knew that it was best to stay away from the tip.

  Ou Yangming spun his spear and gave up the thought to attack further. He sighed and wondered, ‘If I’m in an open area outside the forest, I’ll be able to unleash my spear’s greatest might and perform countless amazing skills with it.

  But I’m being restricted in the forest, so I can’t fully display the spear’s magical effects.’

  Following that, Ou Yangming lowered his body and went around the big tiger like a sharp arrow. Instead of being tangled with the tiger, he broke free from it after the short exchange of blow. Nevertheless, it was then that he felt a blazing burn on his back.

  Ou Yangming’s face changed a little, and he flashed to open up a path without any delay. He raised the end of his spear like it was a venomous snake, and
he whipped it in the direction behind him.

  “Pow!”

  The spear was whipped hard on the big multicolored tiger’s body, but the tiger did not shake at all. On the contrary, Ou Yangming swayed as he lost balance.

  Ou Yangming felt a chill in his heart. This big multicolored tiger is faster than I expected.’

  If an ordinary martial artist was within the range of the tiger’s claws, the martial artists would not be able to avoid the tiger’s attacks, let alone flee.

  Even after what happened, Ou Yangming became faster because of the countershock that took place earlier. He finally arrived at the chaotic scene.

  After taking a glance at his surroundings, Ou Yangming had a rough judgment of the situation.

  This was the main battleground for He Liangce and the big multicolored tiger.

  Despite that, the most important figure was missing.

  He Liangce did not die here and there were no obvious traces of blood on the ground.

  Ou Yangming understood at that instant that He Liangce had already escaped, and the young master had gotten away successfully. “Roar—”

  The big multicolored tiger roared continuously to vent its anger. It took a turn in the forest and pounced on its target again.

  Ou Yangming flashed and evaded the big tiger’s attack at once.

  Numerous big trees were already spread across the ground in this area because they had been knocked down by the big multicolored tiger when it lunged.

  Therefore, this area was different from the other areas in the dense forest. There was almost no cover here, allowing one to see everything clearly at one glance.

  Ou Yangming focused and stood still. He raised his spear in the air, and his essence, energy, and spirit underwent a change.

  The spear tip later touched the ground when Ou Yangming’s stretched out his arm, and he became one with his surroundings at that spur of the moment. Hot Qi boiled in the young fellow’s body, and he carried an aura of shining spears and armored horses—he was ready to deal with the fatal blow.
