Chapter 45: White Tiger Battle
When Xiao Fan woke up, he was lying on a huge stone in the valley, his right hand still holding the long sword, but around him, there were no corpses of wild wolves.
"What's going on, didn't I pass out in the end? What about those wolf packs?"
Xiao Fan sat up and looked around in a daze.
"Huh? Where are the bodies of the wolf pack?" Xiaofan looked around again and found that there was nothing around him, the mountain-like pile of wolf corpses had vanished, not a single one remained. Moreover, the traces of last night's heavy rain seemed to have disappeared as well, and the ground was dry.
"Was everything last night just a dream? But no way, my hands and feet are still sore now." Xiaofan stood up and stretched his limbs, and indeed, his hands and feet were still aching terribly, exactly the same feeling as last night.
"What happened last night definitely did happen, but except for my sore hands and feet, there's not a single other trace left behind, what's going on? And where did that final piano sound come from?" Xiao Fan was at a loss, feeling everything was inexplicably strange, it was just too weird.
"Right, I remember that last night, my physical strength had broken through the limit, and the Fast Sword had also broken through. Moreover, 'Mind Sword Body' had also made a breakthrough. If it wasn't a dream, these breakthroughs must be real."
As soon as he thought of this, Xiao Fan sat cross-legged on the giant stone and began to operate the "Mind Sword Body". Sure enough, with the operation of the technique, Xiao Fan's whole body was enveloped by the thick heavenly spiritual energy, he could feel that his cultivated "Mind Sword Body" had improved a lot, and his mental strength had also increased a lot. In his spiritual sea, a large amount of spiritual mist had already transformed into liquid.
Furthermore, Xiao Fan's physical strength has also increased significantly.
Try again quickly with sword.
Xiao Fan picked up his long sword and with one swing, a white light flashed by instantly, followed by the explosion of a tree trunk the size of a human head in front of him.
"So fast, so powerful."
Xiao Fan stared blankly, gazing at the exploded tree for a long time before bursting into laughter. "Regardless of whether everything last night was just a dream or not, my purpose in coming to this cliff was to improve my cultivation. Since it has an effect, that's all that matters."
"First get some food, then come back and cultivate properly." Next, Xiao Fan searched the entire valley, but found that in the vast valley, except for fish in the river, there were no other animals, and some trees grew wild fruit.
Xiao Fan then caught two fish from the river and roasted them over a fire, after which he picked some wild fruit to eat his fill.
After eating his fill, Xiao Fan once again came to the waterfall with a heavy sword as large as a door board to practice.
Xiao Fan arrived at the place where he stood yesterday, and the raindrops from the waterfall came down, no longer making him feel very uncomfortable. He was already able to withstand the massive water flow of the waterfall for five more steps towards the center before stopping.
"I recall that last night I was multitasking, operating the 'Mind Sword Body' while killing wild wolves at the same time. In other words, I can still do this right now."
Xiao Fan pondered in his heart and did not sit down on the giant stone to cultivate, but stood up, cultivating 'Intention Sword Body' while slowly dancing with the heavy sword in his hand.
Under the waterfall, Xiao Fan's entire body seemed to be wrapped in a thick white mist, and the rainwater falling from the sky hit his body, stirring up ripples. Xiao Fan held a heavy sword and practiced with the most ordinary moves.
He spent the whole day practicing under Xiaofan Waterfall, and when the sun set in the west, he began to prepare dinner, after eating his fill, he continued to sit by the waterfall, quietly waiting for the arrival of night.
"I don't know if there will be a wolf pack tonight."
"Hoooo..." As the moon rose to its peak, a strange sound came, Xiao Fang followed the sound and looked over, it was also a green gleam in his eyes, but it wasn't the howling of wolves, it was the roar of a tiger.
"Tigers, white tigers..."; Xiao Fan slightly trembled and found himself surrounded by a group of white tigers staring at him with piercing eyes.
Ninety-Nine Heads Hanging White Tiger
Under the moonlight, Xiao Fan could see the surrounding situation clearly, and it was a giant white tiger with 99 heads, staring at him fiercely.
Xiao Fan grasped the heavy sword with both hands, his whole body tense, "I won't move unless you do", he didn't want to switch to a long sword.
"Roar..." A white tiger with a raised head charged towards Xiao Fan.
"Good timing." Xiao Fang coldly laughed and swung his heavy sword down at the Suspended-Eyed White Tiger.
"Clang..." The sound of metal colliding with metal rang out, the heavy sword and the white tiger's front paws collided, striking a series of sparks.
The sword and claw parted ways, Xiao Fan retreated a step back, and the white tiger was also forced to fall to the ground.
"Hmmph..."
The white tiger that fell to the ground let out a thunderous roar, and in an instant, another white tiger pounced towards Xiao Fan.
"If you can't beat them, call for backup, don't you have any shame?" Xiaofan's face changed color, unsure of what these two white tigers were up to. They sent out one first to test their own strength, then the two white tigers ganged up on him together - was this some kind of trial?
"What's the big deal about two of you? Am I afraid of you?" Xiao Fang sneered and simultaneously manipulated his 'Mind Sword Body' to gather countless spiritual energies from heaven and earth around him, replenishing his depleted physical strength. With both hands grasping his sword, he charged towards the two Suspended-Eyebrow White Tigers.
Boom boom boom...
In an instant, Xiao Fang's heavy sword clashed with the two-headed white tiger in a fierce exchange of moves, and surprisingly, neither gained the upper hand, until both sides retreated simultaneously.
"Hmm..."
Another loud roar rose up, and another white tiger with a hanging eyebrow rushed over, along with the other two, three white tigers with hanging eyebrows simultaneously charged towards Xiao Fan to kill him.
And then there's another one...
Xiao Fan's eyes widened in anger, thinking that these tigers were simply too despicable. Two tigers had already been able to fight him to a draw, yet another one was coming.
Bump...
Xiao Fan's heavy sword chopped down on the front paws of a nearby hanging-eyed white tiger, sending it back, and at the same time, a horizontal sweep blocked the momentum of two other hanging-eyed white tigers that were pouncing over.
Kill...
After repelling the three-headed White Tiger, Xiao Fan leaped high into the air with his sword in hand, aiming at the forehead of one of the White Tigers and chopping it off.
"Roar..."; Just as Xiao Fan's heavy sword was about to land on the forehead of the Suspended-Eyed White Tiger, he saw three more Suspended-Eyed White Tigers charging out simultaneously towards Xiao Fan's vital spots.
Damn it...
Xiao Fan had no choice but to give up killing that one Duanjinyan White Tiger, and with a heavy sword sweep, he blocked the attacks of the three Duanjinyan White Tigers.
"Rooooaaaar..."; A total of six Jiao-jin White Tigers pounced on Xiao Fan continuously, their sharp claws were no less than Xiao Fan's Xuan Tie Heavy Sword, and sparks flew when the two clashed.
Xiao Fan's cries of pain grew louder with each clash against the White Tiger's fierce gaze, his hands feeling a sharp ache after every collision; fortunately, he was able to rotate his 'Mind Sword Body' to absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, recovering his depleted physical strength, or else Xiao Fan would have collapsed long ago.
"No way, there are still so many White Tigers, if they all charge up together later, I'm done for. Now, every head I can kill is a bonus."
Once again, the six-headed Suspended Eyebrow White Tiger retreated, Xiao Fan's eyes flashed with cold light, his left hand grasping his sword, and his right hand swished, five flashes of silver light like lightning instantly tore through the air and entered the forehead of the five-headed Suspended Eyebrow White Tiger.
"Thud..."
Five-headed Suspended Eyebrows White Tiger was shot by flying knives and fell down at the same time.
After the flying knife was obtained, Xiao Fan grasped his sword with both hands and made a horizontal sweep, forcing the white tiger to retreat. At the same time as the white tiger retreated, a silver light flashed by, and a flying knife entered its forehead.
Although the White Tiger has infinite strength and indestructible claws, they are relatively slow and can't keep up with the speed of flying knives. Moreover, their forehead is their weak point.
Xiao Fang let out a sigh of relief, it's good that the Suspended Eyebrows White Tiger has a weakness.
"Hoo...hoo..."
At this moment, a loud roar came over, and the remaining ninety or so white tigers suddenly pounced on Xiao Fan.
"Wow, so many..."
Xiao Fan's face changed greatly, his hands constantly flashing with a silver light that pierced the air and entered the forehead of several white tigers.
When the white tiger rushed to Xiao Fan's face, there were less than 19 of the original 90 or so white tigers left, and the rest had been killed by Xiao Fan's flying knife in an instant.
Xiao Fang let out a sigh of relief, fortunately the number of flying knives in his storage bag was sufficient, otherwise he wouldn't have been a match for these guys.
However, the nineteen Hanging Eyebrow White Tigers had already arrived in front of Xiao Fan. Xiao Fan's eyes condensed, and an invisible wave flashed by. In an instant, a flying knife inserted into the forehead of each Hanging Eyebrow White Tiger shot out like lightning, shooting towards the nineteen Hanging Eyebrow White Tigers.
"Hahaha...". This round of shooting, ten white tiger cubs were beheaded without warning.
The last nine remaining White Tigers pounced towards Xiao Fang.
"...and finally, it's just a white tiger hanging in the air..."
Xiao Fan did not continue to kill enemies with flying knives, but instead wielded a heavy sword and began to fight fiercely against the nine-headed white tiger.
The sword light flashed eastward, and the heavy sword of ten thousand catties was swung by Xiao Fan, as if wielding a large door panel, covering his entire body tightly.
The nine-headed tiger's strength was boundless, each head capable of going toe-to-toe with Xiao Fan without falling behind. Fortunately, they didn't know how to coordinate, which allowed Xiao Fan to hold on.
"I'll destroy you without using flying knives."
Xiao Fan gritted his teeth and persisted, refusing to use the 'Six Gods' Divine Sword'. After beheading a pack of wild wolves on the first night, Xiao Fan gained enormous benefits. Therefore, tonight, he wanted to rely on these nine-headed white tigers to hone his skills.
The nine-headed hanging white tiger, not very fast, can't be compared to the wolf pack, but it's incredibly powerful, every time it clashes with Xiao Fan, it makes his blood boil.
Fortunately, Xiao Fan's 'Mind Sword Body' technique continued to operate, and the thick heavenly and earthly spiritual energy enveloped him, constantly absorbing the purest heavenly and earthly spiritual energy between heaven and earth into his body, tempering his physical body and enhancing his cultivation.
Time slipped away quietly, as the moon gradually fell, Xiao Fang was still engaged in a fierce battle with Jiu Tou Diao Jing Bai Hu, he had already felt his limit, but he gritted his teeth and refused to use flying knives to kill Jiu Tou Bai Hu.
The nine-headed tiger-like creature was like a machine, tireless and unrelenting, pouncing on Xiao Fan again and again, attacking him with each strike, only to be repelled and then charge back once more.
As time went on, Xiao Fan's body was sore all over, but his sword speed became faster and faster, and the force of each sword strike also became stronger and stronger.
When the first white light appeared between heaven and earth, Xiao Fang finally killed the nine-headed hanging-eyed white tiger with his Xuan Tie heavy sword.
"Ding ding ding..."
Similarly, after the nine-headed hanging white tiger was destroyed, Xiao Fan's ears once again transmitted the pleasant sound of the guqin, and he fainted with honor once more. What did they do again?
