Chapter 1373: Chapter 1373: Damn! That Bastard Is Ruthless! (3rd Update)
"Roar!"
The Golden Tiger let out another "miserable howl," then secretly glanced towards the rear, where Xue Li was located.
Why hasn’t he come yet? Could it be that Junior Brother Ye’s plan has failed?
After glancing again, the Golden Tiger noticed there was still no movement behind and couldn’t help but feel a bit anxious. If Xue Li wasn’t fooled, all the efforts of him and Ye Haochuan would be in vain!
Hehe, that guy has finally taken the bait!
At this moment, Ye Haochuan had concealed his aura, hiding behind the Golden Tiger, using his Perspective Ability to observe Xue Li.
Swoosh~
Xue Li, at the Core Formation Mid-Stage, flashed past Ye Haochuan, but he had no perception of Ye Haochuan at all.
It must be known that Ye Haochuan’s Concealment Ability comes from Yinfeng, bestowed by the Essential Blood of the Thousand Illusion Kirin. Back in the White Court Origin Realm, not even cultivators at the Nascent Soul Peak could discover it. For Xue Li to discover it would undoubtedly be wishful thinking.
Hehe, finally here!
The Golden Tiger was just about to let out another "miserable howl" when suddenly there came a sound from behind. Turning his head, he saw it was indeed Xue Li, so the Golden Tiger increased his speed without looking back, fleeing forward in a stagger.
"Oh! It’s that Crimson Wing Golden Tiger!"
Seeing the Golden Tiger fleeing ahead, Xue Li was overjoyed. This Crimson Wing Golden Tiger had ambushed him several times, and he had long wanted to capture this guy.
It’s just that this guy runs very fast, especially with those crimson wings; a gentle flap and it can fly far away, leaving him in the dust.
"If I can catch this guy and refine his crimson wings into a Magical Treasure, my speed will definitely be comparable to a cultivator at the Core Formation Peak. Moreover, eating this guy’s flesh would also be a great supplement!"
Looking at the limping and heavily injured Golden Tiger, Xue Li’s eyes flickered with greed—strike while the iron is hot!
"Where do you think you’re going!"
Seeing the Golden Tiger about to escape his perception, Xue Li hesitated no more, activating his movement technique to pursue swiftly. After he departed, a strange symbol appeared at his previous standing place.
"Bloodline Power, Crimson Wing Across the Sky!"
Knowing Xue Li was catching up, the Golden Tiger unhesitatingly activated the Bloodline Power and dashed towards the predetermined destination.
This move, Bloodline Power, was a bloodline inheritance acquired after the Golden Tiger advanced to the Golden Core. Once activated, it could greatly accelerate his flying speed. The only drawback was that it would damage the meridians.
But with Ye Haochuan’s pill, would the Golden Tiger still fear meridian damage? Moreover, the Golden Tiger’s meridians were reinforced more than twice. Now, unless he continuously used the Bloodline Power three to four times in a short period, there’s no way it could damage his meridians.
"Hmph! The same move again, let’s see how many times you can use it!"
Unaware he had already bitten the hook like a little fish, Xue Li snorted coldly, leaning forward as he stomped the ground with both feet, shouting: "White Rainbow Reaching the Sky!"
Swoosh!
With this shout, Xue Li transformed into a white rainbow, frantically pursuing the direction the Golden Tiger had fled.
"Go!"
Seeing Xue Li leave, Ye Haochuan emerged from the shadows, erased the symbol left by Xue Li, and then followed.
"Stop right there!"
Xue Li’s White Rainbow Reaching the Sky was indeed fast. In merely ten or more minutes, he caught up with the Golden Tiger who deliberately suppressed his speed, drawing a sword to stab at the Golden Tiger’s back.
A chill of cold qi flew from the sword tip, accelerating swiftly to carve a bloody hole in the Golden Tiger’s back. An icy coldness endlessly spread from the wound across the Golden Tiger’s whole body.
Seeing this, the Golden Tiger was greatly terrified. Xue Li had never used this move before; he had always worried Xue Li couldn’t catch up, but who knew Xue Li not only caught up but also used such a vicious trick! It seemed Xue Li had never exerted his full strength before.
"You wily old fox! How dare you plot against me!"
The Golden Tiger roared angrily, wanting to turn around and battle Xue Li. However, seeing he hadn’t reached the designated meeting place with Ye Haochuan, he reluctantly suppressed the anger in his heart, cutting off the blood and flesh from the wound with one hand while wielding a large shield with the other to block Xue Li’s next move.
Ding~
With a crisp sound, the shield was shattered by Xue Li’s sword, while the Golden Tiger leveraged the impact force from the shield to widen the distance from Xue Li. Discarding the shield, he let out a low growl, transforming into a swift swan and flew away.
And with a crash,
the shield shattered upon landing.
He’s indeed injured!
Xue Li had previously suspected this was a trap, but seeing the Golden Tiger wounded easily and even having its shield Magical Treasure broken by him, his suspicions vanished instantly.
"Hahaha, today you’re surely dead!"
With his heart at ease, Xue Li let out a wild laugh and chased again. This Crimson Wing Golden Tiger, whatever heavy injury it suffered, there was no way it could escape today.
"Bloodline Power, Crimson Wing Across the Sky!"
Flying, the Golden Tiger expelled the icy qi that Xue Li had instilled into him. Seeing Xue Li about to catch up again, by this time, the cold qi had nearly been expelled, so the Golden Tiger hesitated no longer and accelerated fiercely.
"Trying to escape? Hehe, let’s see how many times you can use your Bloodline Power!"
Xue Li chuckled, stomping again, transforming into a white rainbow to pursue the Golden Tiger.
"Damn! This bastard is really ruthless!"
Ye Haochuan arrived where the Golden Tiger was stabbed, finding the blood and flesh that dripped and coagulated on the ground, imagining the severe injury from just a single sword strike the Golden Tiger had endured then.
Hmm, got it!
Ye Haochuan surveyed the area, discovering a peculiar symbol, knowing it was a mark left by Xue Li. He stepped up to erase it, then collected the Golden Tiger’s blood and flesh, intentionally leaving behind a broken shield.
"Hehe, with this shield, even if there’s an investigation, it can only lead to the Evil Sect in the end!"
Ye Haochuan smirked wickedly, scanning the surroundings again to ensure nothing was missed, then set off once more, using Great Yan Step towards the predetermined location.
He walked, activating his Perspective constantly, scanning his surroundings, occasionally stopping to erase some strange symbols or clearing apparent battle traces.
In any case, anything that would expose Xue Li’s position or the identity of the Golden Tiger, he obliterated altogether. Ultimately, in an obscure spot, Ye Haochuan fabricated a battle scene.
In this fake battle site, Ye Haochuan tossed a few weapons and armors of the Evil Sect, then moved again, trailing the traces left by the Golden Tiger and Xue Li.
This time, he not only erased Xue Li’s marks but even the unintentional traces left by the duo.
Like this, he finally arrived at a grand canyon. It was over a hundred miles away from the fabricated battle site by Ye Haochuan, surrounded by uninhabited wilderness. Besides mountains, it was all dense forests, truly an ideal place for murder and silence.
This was the spot Ye Haochuan had designated for the Golden Tiger, accidentally discovered by him in the past.
At this moment, faint roars and clashing sounds of weapons drifted from the canyon, but the sound was absorbed not far away by the dense forest, leaving no chance for others to hear.
