Ye Tian felt a surge of excitement. This Elemental Attack was truly remarkable. He had experienced it before when he encountered the Gale Wolf and the Flame Tiger, but those Demon Beasts hadn't been very powerful.
This Jungle Tiger was different. Its powerful Elemental Attack could definitely injure him. The moment their energies collided, he quickly darted to the side; there was no need to face its terrifying Attack Power head-on.
Ye Tian realized this Jungle Tiger's Elemental Attack was even stronger than Sima Tianquan's strike back then. If he hadn't advanced several Realms in his Power Realm, he might not have been able to dodge this attack.
Although surprised, he wasn't afraid. In fact, he was eager to "play" with the Jungle Tiger for a bit, seeing it as an excellent opportunity for practice.
However, a look of bewilderment filled Lin Ling's beautiful face. The strength Ye Tian displayed forced her to see him in a new light. In just a few short days, his Attack Power had become several times stronger than it was in the arena.
'It's hard to believe he could break through several Realms in such a short time, but the proof is right in front of me, so I have to believe it. Maybe I'll get a chance to ask him about it properly.'
The Elemental Energy blocked most of Ye Tian's Sword Qi, and only a few strands managed to strike the Jungle Tiger.
Still, the powerful Sword Qi left several gashes on its body, some so deep the bone was visible. The sharpness of the Black Glaze Sword was something no ordinary longsword could compare to. Crimson blood gushed out like a spring, and the thick scent of blood instantly filled the air.
The Jungle Tiger roared in pain, its deafening cry shaking the forest. Its two enormous eyes glared at Ye Tian. 'To think I was injured by a lowly human! This is a disgrace. I must kill him to quell the rage in my heart.'
Just then, a green light surged from the Jungle Tiger's body. The leaf-like fur on its back trembled continuously, creating an eerie sight.
Ye Tian knew the green fur was actually condensed from an Element. 'It must be the Wood Element,' he thought. 'Which means this Jungle Tiger has a Wood Attribute. If I kill it, the Magic Crystal I get will probably be a Wood-type Elemental Magic Crystal.'
The Jungle Tiger's next attack would surely be ferocious. Ye Tian didn't dare let his guard down. The Dragon Spiritual Power in his body circulated rapidly as he prepared to unleash his own strongest Attack Power—though he wouldn't use the War Dragon Heavenly Arm so easily.
When Lin Ling saw the Jungle Tiger's current state, her heart leaped in alarm. "Ye Tian, get back! The Jungle Tiger's attack is no joke! Don't try to face it head-on!"
Ye Tian heard her but paid no mind. 'You want me to dodge? I'll do the exact opposite. Let's see how worried you get. You dared to mess with me, so what's wrong with me messing with you a little this time?' he thought mischievously.
Following another roar that echoed through the dense forest, the so-called "elemental leaves" on the Jungle Tiger's back detached from its body. They floated into the air and slowly began to spin.
Gradually, they merged, forming an Elemental Energy Ball the size of a washbasin.
Ye Tian could clearly sense the terrifying power within this ball of Elemental Energy. If it exploded, it would probably flatten everything within a radius of dozens of meters.
'A preemptive strike is my only option,' he decided. 'I have to attack it before the Jungle Tiger can unleash that Elemental Energy Ball.'
Acting on his thoughts was Ye Tian's style. With a flick of the Black Glaze Sword in his hand, his figure moved like lightning, leaving an afterimage as he charged toward the Jungle Tiger.
He once again used the Fifth Form of the Flowing Cloud Sword Technique. Right now, Ye Tian had no other powerful Martial Skills to use. He couldn't yet cultivate the ones the War Dragon Remnant Soul had given him; he could only wait for another breakthrough in his Power Realm to see if he'd get the chance.
Lin Ling's heart was in her throat. 'That Ye Tian is just so stubborn! I already warned him, but not only did he refuse to dodge, he's actually attacking the Jungle Tiger! That ball of Elemental Energy is incredibly powerful. With his current Power Realm, there's no way he can take it!'
But it was too late to intervene and stop Ye Tian. At that moment, the Jungle Tiger also made its move. The instant Ye Tian charged it, the Elemental Energy Ball on its body shot rapidly toward him.
In that short time, the Elemental Energy Ball began to disperse, transforming into countless green daggers that flew toward Ye Tian.
The surrounding space began to vibrate violently again, as if the very earth were shaking. In that instant, countless trees were snapped in half—no, not snapped, but sliced clean through by the Elemental Energy.
The severed surfaces were incredibly smooth, as if they had been polished. At that same moment, Ye Tian's Sword Qi collided with the countless flying daggers.
BANG! BANG! A series of massive explosions echoed through the dense forest, startling numerous birds and beasts.
Ye Tian's attack was earth-shattering. The Jungle Tiger's elemental daggers were all obliterated by his powerful Sword Qi, which vanished them like smoke. In an instant, he was in front of the Jungle Tiger.
The Black Glaze Sword in his hand struck the Jungle Tiger's head with perfect accuracy, splitting it in two. The creature was cleaved completely in half from head to tail in an incredibly gory scene.
Meanwhile, several red marks appeared on Ye Tian's body, left by the elemental daggers. If not for his accomplished Divine Dragon Battle Body, Ye Tian would have been severely wounded.
A one-hit kill. A perfect kill. There was no suspense. With Ye Tian's current Attack Power, killing a Martial Artist at the Second Vein Fifth Layer would be an effortless task. This was just a Demon Beast, not a human.
The few wounds on his body were already healing rapidly. Without any hesitation, Ye Tian walked directly over to the Jungle Tiger he had split in two, preparing to search for its Magic Crystal.
At that moment, Lin Ling rushed to Ye Tian's side. "Ye Tian, are you okay? Why were you so reckless? Didn't you know how powerful that Jungle Tiger's Elemental Energy was? Even someone at the Three Vein Realm could have been seriously injured or even killed by that!"
Ye Tian ignored Lin Ling, because at that moment, he discovered a faint green orb inside the Jungle Tiger's body emitting weak Energy fluctuations. This had to be the Jungle Tiger's Magic Crystal.
He quickly pulled it out. The Magic Crystal wasn't very large, a bit smaller than a chicken's egg. It was slightly warm to the touch. Its faint green color confirmed that the creature was indeed an Elemental Demon Beast, and what he held was an Elemental Magic Crystal.
Only then did Ye Tian turn around. He dangled the Magic Crystal in his hand and said to Lin Ling, "Hey, Lin Ling, is this an Elemental Magic Crystal? Were you worried about me just now? Wasn't my performance cool?"
Lin Ling hadn't expected Ye Tian to say something like that at a time like this. Her face flushed with anger. "I wouldn't care even if you died! Who do you think you are? You egomaniac!"
Ye Tian smiled faintly. 'I have an idea,' he thought. 'Next time, I'll definitely be able to trick this girl.' He then chuckled and said, "Who am I? I'm Ye Tian. Since you don't care if I live or die, please stop following me. Thanks!" After speaking, Ye Tian ignored her reaction and quickly departed.
