Chapter 881: Endless Schemes
CHAPTER 881: CHAPTER 881: ENDLESS SCHEMES
Just after the Thunder Wing White Tiger chased Chen Nan away, several figures appeared outside the canyon.
Upon seeing the scorched earth and the half-destroyed canyon, a deep shock appeared in their eyes.
"Who on earth has the guts to provoke the Thunder Wing White Tiger?" The voice of the leading man was somewhat hoarse.
"Hey, doesn’t matter who it is. Maybe this time we can benefit unknowingly!" Another person, with narrow eyes, had a somewhat cunning look.
"True, if we can kill the Thunder Wing White Tiger, we could live extravagantly for a year."
The other members of the team echoed this sentiment, knowing that a Foundation Establishment Ninth Level demon beast with rare lightning bloodline could be sold for a large amount of spirit stones.
So they directly chased in the direction the Thunder Wing White Tiger left.
After they left, several other cultivator teams arrived, having the same intention of tracking the Thunder Wing White Tiger.
This time it wasn’t just about the battle between Chen Nan and the Thunder Wing White Tiger; at least dozens of cultivators joined in.
A hunt was underway.
Until the last moment, it was unclear who was the hunter and who was the prey.
Chen Nan fled in embarrassment, quickly weaving through the forest, his energy becoming depleted. He hadn’t expected the Thunder Wing White Tiger to be so fierce today.
But he was not entirely unprepared. With a grab of his right hand, a talisman named "Wind Walk Talisman" appeared in his hand.
Even though it was just a Ninth Grade Spirit Talisman, it was very useful for increasing speed. These talismans were naturally his previous spoils of war.
Chen Nan directly placed the talisman on his leg, and his speed suddenly increased, the trees on both sides of his body receding rapidly, mere blurs.
Behind him, the Thunder Wing White Tiger flew low, completely ignoring the obstacles ahead, its massive body crashing through the forest, forcefully creating a path.
"Roar!"
The roar of the tiger carried a heavy pressure, causing any demon beast that heard it to tremble. Seeing Chen Nan’s speed increase, thunder suddenly erupted from the wings of the Thunder Wing White Tiger.
In an instant, the massive body suddenly appeared behind Chen Nan, as if leaping with thunder, its sharp claws striking down fiercely.
Chen Nan’s expression changed. He only had time to turn and use his arms for defense before he felt a tremendous force hit him, sending his body flying heavily.
With a bang, he crashed into the ground, creating a deep pit, and leaving two deep wounds on his arms, deep enough to see bone.
The Thunder Wing White Tiger landed in front of Chen Nan, its huge body imposing, lightning flashing across it, wings flapping, sending wind blades whistling out.
Such a powerful demon beast wouldn’t normally be provoked by a cultivator in the Foundation Establishment Stage, yet Chen Nan was audacious enough not only to provoke but to thoroughly enrage it.
"Little kitty, after playing with you for half a month, there may not be merit but certainly toil, your strikes are too ruthless."
Chen Nan gave a bitter smile as blood dripped slowly from his arm, revealing his sorry state.
But suddenly, his expression changed to one of determination, his hands quickly forming a seal as eighty-one array flags suddenly floated around the Thunder Wing White Tiger.
An incredible chill rapidly spread around, even the ground was covered with a thick layer of ice.
Cold Domain Killing Array!
This was a killing array Chen Nan obtained from Liu Tong’s storage bag, evidently bestowed by Master Xuanming, with considerable power.
However, while the killing array was powerful, it had a weakness in that it could not move and had to find a way to lure the enemy within its range.
Chen Nan had long set the killing array here, deliberately leading the Thunder Wing White Tiger over, now everything was just right!
"Killing array, activate!"
With a command, the array flags seemed to form invisible chains between them, sealing the space, completely trapping the Thunder Wing White Tiger.
Immediately, the killing intent in the array surged, countless ice spikes forming and whistling towards the Thunder Wing White Tiger.
The Thunder Wing White Tiger opened its mouth, spitting lightning to shatter the ice spikes in front of it.
But within the array, the ice spikes seemed endless, more forming after being shattered, and the cold gradually spreading to freeze the Thunder Wing White Tiger.
Seeing this scene, Chen Nan slightly relaxed, but when he saw the spiritual stones sustaining the array rapidly depleting, he couldn’t help but feel a sting.
To know, he spent a full hundred thousand low-grade spirit stones to set up this array!
Danger in every corner of the killing array.
In addition to the sky full of ice spikes, icy thorns emerged from the ground, wrapping around the Thunder Wing White Tiger, icicles on the thorns glistening coldly.
However, the Thunder Wing White Tiger’s body possessed the general characteristic of demon beasts, that being resilience, and neither the icy thorns nor ice spikes could pierce that layer of fur.
The fur had a layer of demonic power, making its defense even more formidable, enough to make a Foundation Establishment Stage cultivator despair.
Even its defense couldn’t be breached, how to fight?
"Little kitty’s skin is really thick, can’t go on like this!"
Chen Nan was anxious outside the array, going on like this would exhaust all his spirit stones without causing substantial harm to the Thunder Wing White Tiger.
To him, this was almost a bankrupt strategy.
"No matter, if all the spirit stones are used up and the little kitty isn’t killed, this time would be a massive loss!"
Chen Nan gritted his teeth and waved out dozens of spirit talismans from his storage bag, these were his spoils of war, most of them Ninth Grade Spirit Talismans, like Fireball Talisman, Cold Ice Talisman, Sword Qi Talisman, etc.
"Go!"
With a point forward, dozens of spirit talismans flew into the array in an instant, turning to ash, countless fireballs, ice spikes, and sword qi attacks appeared above the Thunder Wing White Tiger.
The next moment, all the attacks landed on the White Tiger!
This time, they finally broke through the Thunder Wing White Tiger’s defense, though causing Chen Nan heartache, as a Ninth Grade Spirit Talisman cost about ten low-grade spirit stones each.
Close to a hundred, over a thousand spirit stones, adding further to Chen Nan’s dire finances.
Even throwing in all his assets, the Thunder Wing White Tiger only suffered minor injuries.
With no other choice, Chen Nan took out three more spirit talismans, these three emitted unusual spiritual power fluctuations as they were three Eighth Grade Spirit Talismans.
Giant Sword Talisman, Meteor Talisman, and Moon Killing Talisman, each exceptionally lethal, difficult for Foundation Establishment Stage cultivators to withstand.
Chen Nan folded his fingers and pointed forward, unleashing the three talismans. Instantly a giant golden sword, a burning giant firestone, and a gentle moonlight appeared in the air.
The moonlight fell with razor sharpness, directly tearing through the Thunder Wing White Tiger’s fur, exposing its white bones underneath.
The giant sword transformed into a stream of light, piercing through the Thunder Wing White Tiger’s defense, stabbing deeply within.
The firestone fell like a meteor, crashing heavily on the Thunder Wing White Tiger.
Rumble!
The ground shook violently!
