At this moment.
The formidable strength of the White Tiger was also fully displayed.
"Boom!"
The Evil Qi swirling around the White Tiger suddenly erupted, directly breaking apart the Immortal Sword suspended in front of Xu Ran, forcing it to revert to a pocket-sized flying sword with a âclangâ as it inserted into the mountain peak.
Large stones continuously rolled down from the mountain peak, striking the ground and creating massive pits, raising dust clouds that obscured the view.
"Swish!"
A white giant blade swiftly slashed through the small figure, seemingly splitting Xu Ranâs body in half, with the upper half slowly falling to the ground.
The Peregrine Falcon in the safety zone froze on the spot, its body trembling uncontrollably, eyes filled with disbelief as it witnessed Xu Ran being cleaved in two.
"How is this possible? How could the master be struck by the White Tiger?"
The Peregrine Falcon internally screamed, unable to believe what was happening, its white feathers even twisting and falling to the ground.
It suddenly collapsed, unable to hold on, with Spiritual Qi spilling out from its body.
"Whoosh!"
Just as despair loomed over the Peregrine Falcon, a dazzling golden light burst forth above the valley, with the small figure moving like a phantom, closely approaching the massive body of the White Tiger.
In an instant, Innate Qi gushed from his fingertips, rapidly flickering, as the pocket-sized flying sword previously blasted away by the white giant blade reappeared high in the sky.
The next moment, above the valley, the single pocket-sized flying sword, manipulated by Xu Ranâs finger signs, split into thousands upon thousands of immortal swords, transforming into a downpour that attacked the vulnerable points around the White Tiger.
"Sizzle! Sizzle! Sizzle!"
Email Address.Cells1.value = White sword shadows appeared in a vast array, each containing incredibly pure Innate Qi, and the sound of sonic booms echoed as even the air was ruptured beneath the shadows.
"Seeking death!"
The enormous White Tiger, upon spotting the small figure so daringly close to its body, felt immensely insulted, with its killing intent intensifying as the white giant blade in its hands quivered, transforming into countless blade lights to fiercely slash at the flying swords.
Sword shadows and blade lights interwove, yet there was no blood splatter; instead, the clash resounded with the sounds of metallic strikes and dazzling sparks, making the Peregrine Falconâs heart race.
Seeing that familiar figure and aura, the Peregrine Falcon, which had previously collapsed, promptly stood up, with the leaking Spiritual Qi instantly returning to its body, complemented by some Innate Qi surging from Xu Ran.
"Great, the master is fineâI knew the master wouldnât be harmed!"
The Peregrine Falcon rejoiced internally, with its pillar of faith returning.
In an instant.
The storm of sword shadows and blade lights, along with endless Spiritual Qi, Innate Qi, and Evil Qi intertwined, clashing and producing massive shockwaves that echoed above the valley.
The small figure of Xu Ran floated among these shockwaves, akin to an immovable pillar, with his internal aura unaffected.
Seeing the unyielding Xu Ran, the White Tigerâs eyes gleamed, its pupils narrowing.
"Such incredible physical strength!"
Only after engaging in a real confrontation with Xu Ran could it sense the immense power within this small infant body, as even the condensed White Tiger Giant Blade couldnât budge him an inch.
"This aura is so familiar..."
The White Tiger felt the aura emanating from Xu Ran, a rare expression of doubt flitting across its eyes, but soon its cold, sinister gaze returned.
Knowing that even its White Tiger Giant Blade posed no threat to Xu Ran, it resolved to take matters into its own hands.
"Roar!"
In the next moment, the White Tigerâs immense body rushed toward Xu Ran, with black and white stripes on its skin emitting a blood-red glow, as Evil Qi surged forth, and its deep roar echoed through the valley.
At this, the White Tigerâs body unleashed its most ferocious attack.
Tiger claws, tiger paws, tiger knees, tiger head...
Every part of its body became a lethal weapon, with hand-to-hand combat as wild as a storm, imbued with boundless Evil Qi, aiming at Xu Ranâs vital points.
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
...
The White Tiger, now transforming into the epitome of demon beast ferocity, displayed incredibly robust physical prowess, with a strange rumbling emanating from withinâ the power unleashed by the friction of demon bones roared.
"Let me show you what a demon beast truly is!"
In response to the White Tigerâs outrageously ferocious close combat, Xu Ran shimmered with golden light, fully manifesting the Innate Saintâs Sacred Body, his bones resonating with dragon-like roars, as immense Innate Qi erupted and formed a thin film on his skinâs surface.
The film formed of Innate Qi might seem fragile, but the White Tigerâs ferocious power, which could crush an opponent to pulp, caused no harm when striking Xu Ran.
On the contrary, with the protective Innate Qi film, Xu Ran fearlessly unleashed a storm of attacks, falling upon the White Tiger like raindrops.
Each fierce punch sent ripples across the White Tigerâs body, causing the layered feathers to flutter outward.
The Peregrine Falcon observed that primitive battle high above the gorge, feeling the brute force behind every strike exchanged between White Tiger and Master Xu Ran. Although staying safely aside to avoid the shockwaves, the raw and flesh-to-flesh confrontation stirred a heated adrenaline rush.
Even the Kunpeng Bloodline within it surged with excitement, yearning to partake in this peak duel; however, the Peregrine Falconâs cultivation was too low for such a high-tier battle.
"Roar! Roar! Roar!"
The sound of dragons echoed within Xu Ran, and due to applying considerable force, his expression turned progressively fierce. Under Xu Ranâs relentless assault, some dispersion occurred in the Evil Qi spiraling around the White Tiger.
"Break!"
Xu Ranâs fierce face brightened as he witnessed the blood-red Evil Qi on the White Tiger gradually dispersing.
Not long ago, he had just developed the Innate Saintâs Sacreed Body, capable of transforming materials of the same level into Innate Qi, and the Evil Qi from the White Tiger before him likely reached a similar level.
"Slice!"
Xu Ran abruptly withdrew from the White Tigerâs surrounding, its massive form appearing before his eyes.
The White Tiger at this moment slightly opened its mouth, breathing lightlyâit was evident that the recent physical confrontation with Xu Ranâs attacks exerted considerable pressure on it.
Nonetheless, it was the White Tigerâa demon beast from ancient times comparable to the Kunpeng. Even if slightly disadvantageous, it wouldnât display defeat.
It sneered, disdainfully eyeing Xu Ran, "What? Canât hold on anymore?"
While speaking, its aura spilled out entirely, with Evil Qi escaping from its mouth.
Yet, Xu Ran seemed oblivious to the White Tigerâs words, his eyes fixated on the blood-red Evil Qi seeping from its mouth, a smirk curling his lips.
Then.
Xu Ran performed a hand sign, golden light emanating from his body, forming small golden vortices that possessed boundless attraction.
As the golden vortices emerged, the previously dispersing blood-red Evil Qi was drawn in, converting into streams of pure Innate Qi absorbed into Xu Ran.
The White Tiger, watching its Evil Qi being transformed into Innate Qi, the cold pupils widened instantly with its face revealing terror, its whiskers trembling as though recollecting ancient memories.
"Innate... Innate Saintâs Body!"
