Chapter 201 Thirty Breaths
The atmosphere in the chaotic area in the dense forest suddenly became extremely strange.
"Idiot?"
Ou Yangming and He Liangce raged. "I came to save you, yet you called me an idiot?"
They wanted to press each other down on the ground to beat one another up, but they did not realize that neither of them had killing intent at that moment.
In fact, when they saw their companion was safe and sound, deep down they were relieved.
“Roar—” The big multicolored tiger had a fierce look, but it was delighted.
It initially thought the little insects had gotten away, but two of them actually returned.
This time, the tiger was determined to be careful to not let any of them escape.
The big tiger shook its body a little and lunged at He Liangce. After all, the first little insect did huge psychological harm to it, hence it was willing to let go of Ou Yangming to swallow the first fellow first.
He Liangce flashed and moved like a ghost.
In terms of an absolute or perhaps a linear acceleration, He Liangce was far from the big multicolored tiger; in terms of the control of timing and the usage of surroundings, the half-spirit beast was lacking.
Almost at that instant, He Liangce evaded the tiger"s claws. Although it seemed like a close call, the look in the young master"s eyes remained the same.
Ou Yangming widened his eyes and mumbled, “The integration of Heaven and man…”
He was too familiar with the control of nature.
However, it was also because he noticed the secret of He Liangce"s body technique and could not help but talk about it repeatedly.
“How sly! You"re truly a sly and despicable person!”
Ou Yangming could strike his chest and guarantee that the fellow did not show any signs of the integration of Heaven and man before they began their exploration in the forest.
On the other hand, Ou Yangming had been finding the path at the front like a fool.
Though Ou Yangming had not revealed his trump card, he cursed when he witnessed the scene.
Nevertheless, cursing the young master was one thing. He was not an undiscriminating person.
Following that, Ou Yangming raised his spear and prodded it at the big multicolored tiger.
If the spear was being used in an empty area, it would certainly be invincible and awe-inspiring. However, the weapon"s power would be limited if it was used in a forest. In particular, Ou Yangming was easily blocked by the big tiger"s claws when they fought earlier because the tiger"s speed was already at the extreme.
Nonetheless, the big multicolored tiger was no longer facing Ou Yangming alone.
The area around the spear tip was studded with stars when it was shaken to be stabbed at the big tiger"s b.u.t.t hole.
As such, the snakehead at the end of the tiger"s tail immediately rose to glare sinisterly at Ou Yangming. An ordinary person would have been frightened and gotten gooseb.u.mps if he or she was being stared at like that.
Ou Yangming, on the other hand, was composed and dauntless. The spear tip was ever-changing as he shook it slightly.
Despite that, the snakehead moved abruptly when the spear tip was jabbed in its direction.
The snakehead widened its mouth and bit without holding back when it was faced with He Liangce"s folding fan, but it dared not show off its sharp teeth at the magic spear tip. Instead, the snake transformed into a long whip and lashed at the spear handle.
Ou Yangming"s hand trembled as a result. The area between his thumb and his index finger ached fully, and he almost could not maintain his grip on the spear.
The Tiger-tail Snake"s power was so mighty that it was superior to the attack from the tiger"s claws. Ou Yangming immediately let go of the spear, but the instant the spear tip touched the ground, he kicked the center of the spear handle.
Therefore, the spear was retrieved again. It turned a perfect round in the limited s.p.a.ce, which was so wonderful that it did not touch any tree around it. Subsequently, the end of the spear landed and headed towards the big tiger"s b.u.t.t along with violent whistles in the air.
The spear contained more than just Ou Yangming"s power; it borrowed the rebound force from the ground, as well as the whipping power from the tiger"s tail. The powers were gathered to be released together at this instant.
Even though the Tiger-tail Snake looked confused, it did not hesitate at all. It curled its body and flicked again to hit the spear handle.
That said, it was different this time because the spear handle contained twice the amount of power it had before. The snake had forcefully pushed the handle away, but it could not maintain its balance to form a snake formation.
Ou Yangming beat the snake to it by pushing the spear with his palm and exerted force from a weird angle.
4 taels could be used to shift 500 kilograms. Ou Yangming was very much restricted by his surroundings, but he had made a well-thought-out plan when he made a move.
The spear turned around once more, but it turned by a much smaller margin this time. Even then, the effect was similar. With that, the magic spear tip, which was giving out intense cold-light, was aimed at the big multicolored tiger"s b.u.t.t.
It was true that the spear did not have momentum as magnificent as it did before, but it was so peculiar and incredibly fast that the Tiger-tail Snake, whose snake formation had just been ruined, could not stop it in time.
The snake stuck out its tongue and hissed. At that moment, the big tiger was hotly pursuing He Liangce. Its resentment toward this little insect was deep, so it did not bother about Ou Yangming, who only disturbed it after that. It was also because the tiger felt that the snakehead was more than enough to go against the young fellow. Much to its surprise, the snakehead made a sound that frightened it.
Without any hesitation, the big multicolored tiger twisted its b.u.t.t.
Nevertheless, Ou Yangming attacked at the speed of light, so the spear tip still gently brushed its b.u.t.t.
“Puff…” Blood instantly gushed out of the big tiger"s b.u.t.t.
The big multicolored tiger let out a shrilling roar, and it suddenly leaped forward at an unbelievable speed.
It performed a linear acceleration, and the power of its jump was far from what Ou Yangming and He Liangce could achieve.
The big tiger turned in mid-air and had already turned its body when it landed. It glared at Ou Yangming with its ruthless eyes as if it wanted to devour him alive.
Ou Yangming stood still with his spear and inhaled deeply. His eyes were filled with joy.
Blood. It was the blood of a formidable half-spirit beast.
Ou Yangming only acquired a bit of it, but he could feel the bliss coming from his body. The half-spirit beast was equivalent to a powerful Supreme Great Ancestor, after all, thus it could not be compared with the ordinary beasts that he had previously encountered.
Even though only a bit of blood flowed out, the essence within was enough to leave Ou Yangming in awe.
The amount of Qi and blood that were converted from the tiger"s blood was similar to what he could obtain from a hare of a pheasant.
If he could transform the half-spirit beast"s flesh and blood fully, what could he achieve?
Ou Yangming"s eyes glowed at the thought of it.
The big multicolored tiger roared and looked at Ou Yangming"s spear. It was finally fearful.
Although it only suffered a small cut, it naturally became alert because the spear could hurt it.
He Liangce flashed to Ou Yangming"s side, and he glanced at Ou Yangming"s spear in shock too.
He saw the wound of the giant tiger"s b.u.t.t when he came over to Ou Yangming. Little blood was shed, but the beast had indeed been hurt.
"Brother Ou, there"s hope if we join hands!” He Liangce expressed. Ou Yangming shook his head and remarked, “It"s too fast, so if it escapes upon seeing a bad situation, we won"t be able to stop it nor catch up to it.”
They were both a.s.sisted by the integration of Heaven and man, where they could contend with the big multicolored tiger by utilizing the terrain and the environment, but it did not mean they were really capable of resisting it.
In terms of absolute power and speed, the young men were still far from the big tiger, hence they would not be able to stop the beast if it wanted to escape.
Even if both parties stayed in a deadlock, Ou Yangming and He Liangce would be exhausted first.
He Liangce focused and made a decision. “That"s not necessarily the case. You have a spear that"s enough to frighten it, so as long as we make it stay on the same spot for thirty breaths…”
Ou Yangming was moved. He asked softly, “Can you make it stay on the same spot for thirty breaths?”
“You have a divine weapon while I have my valuable collection, so it"s indeed possible.”
“Okay!” Ou Yangming handed his spear to the young master without any delay. He was in high spirits as he said, “I"ll give you my spear for you to keep it still for thirty breaths. Meanwhile, I"ll settle it!”
He Liangce subconsciously accepted the spear, but he was puzzled.
He initially meant to say, “You hold your spear, then I"ll give you my valuable collection. Make the big multicolored tiger stay for thirty breaths while I perform a secret technique to settle it.”
However, before he could say it, Ou Yangming already did the opposite.
"Why was the script… Inverted?"
“Roar!”
The big multicolored tiger looked grim. When it saw that the threatening weapon was given to He Liangce, it pounced on the man right away.
As for the little insect that lost the weapon, the tiger was indifferent toward it.
Countless thoughts crossed He Liangce"s mind as he held the spear, but he quickly made up his mind.
“Good fella, I"ll trust you this once, so don"t disappoint me!"
The big tiger feared the spear very much, where it twisted its body and blocked the weapon with its claws. At the same time, its tail came around to coil around the spear handle.
As long as the tiger got hold of the weapon, which could hurt it, it would not be afraid of the two little insects anymore.
That being said, He Liangce grinned at that instant. He held the spear with one hand but suddenly spread out his other hand.
An ancient paper appeared in his palm, which exploded at once to transform into a light net that wrapped around the big multicolored tiger.
