Chapter 977: Chapter 977: Subjugation (Part 1)
A wild and ancient aura rushed forward, making Ling Feng feel as though he was facing Long Guangyiās Ancient Jiao Dragon Puppet once again.
"No wonder Redick wants the Red-eyed White Tiger as his mount. This Red-eyed White Tiger truly lives up to its reputation!" Ling Fengās eyes glimmered with a fervent excitement.
As streams of Blood Qi were absorbed, the Red-eyed White Tigerās body grew increasingly massive, and its originally white fur began to reveal streaks of crimson markingsāboth eerie and enchanting.
Even more astonishing, the Red-eyed White Tigerās body gradually floated into the air. Upon absorbing the final stream of Blood Qi, it raised its head and released a deafening roar, a sound of Tiger Roar and Dragon Chant that resonated throughout the heavens and earth.
"So strong!" Even someone as formidable as Ling Feng felt a powerful shockwave rushing towards him.
The Magician had long been blasted dozens of meters back by the sound of the roar, his face pale with fear.
With terror in his eyes, the Magician stared at the Red-eyed White Tiger. If he had a sixty percent chance of defeating the White Tiger before it absorbed the Blood Qi, now he felt utterly incapable of even summoning the will to fight!
"Master... can you defeat such a being?" Concern flickered in the Magicianās gaze.
"Good, excellent!" Ling Feng nodded in satisfaction, "Now, this is the kind of mount worthy of me, Ling Feng. You did not let me down!"
Having absorbed all the Blood Qi in the Illusory Realm, the Red-eyed White Tiger had fully evolved. It now brimmed with confidence that it could tear apart the person in front of it, avenging the beating it just endured.
"Roar!" The Red-eyed White Tiger bellowed again, and the sky was filled with countless Wind Blades, which swept toward Ling Feng with deadly precision.
Wind follows the tiger; clouds follow the dragon. The Red-eyed White Tiger had now mastered the Power of Wind with great proficiency.
Ling Feng raised an eyebrow and quickly maneuvered sideways, dodging repeatedly. The Wind Blades slammed into the ground, carving trenches several meters deep in their wake!
The Wind Blades controlled by the Red-eyed White Tiger were far more lethal than the Qi Blade wielded by Brown. Ling Feng knew he couldnāt afford to take them head-on.
The Red-eyed White Tiger watched Ling Fengās elusive movements with a glint of mockery flashing in its blood-red eyes. Then, even more Wind Blades appeared, chasing Ling Feng relentlessly.
Through the previous battle, the Red-eyed White Tiger had realized Ling Fengās power was terrifyingly strong. Even with its body of steel, it couldnāt withstand his vicious attacks. Therefore, it decided to teach Ling Feng a brutal lesson with the relentless assault of Wind Blades.
As Ling Feng fled in embarrassment, the Red-eyed White Tigerās heart was brimming with satisfaction!
"Planning to put some distance between us, huh?" Ling Feng muttered to himself as he dodged the Wind Blades. "Looks like the Red-eyed White Tiger doesnāt intend to engage me in close combat. But... if you think distance will give you the upper hand, youāre sorely mistaken."
Ling Feng took a deep breath. He didnāt plan to use the Mo Yu Sword or any other form of power. To conquer the Red-eyed White Tiger, he first needed to crush its will to resist. Ling Feng was determined to dominate the beast on all fronts!
"The Wind Blades are numerous, but theyāre not flawless!" Ling Feng twisted his body and, against all expectations, charged straight toward the airborne Red-eyed White Tiger, dodging through the storm of Wind Blades.
The Red-eyed White Tiger froze in shock, then scoffed at the sight with visible disdain. Its tiger face twisted into a sneer as it growled lowly, causing the airborne Wind Blades to grow even denser.
But at that moment, Ling Fengās form suddenly seemed to blur and become ethereal. Countless Wind Blades passed right through him without causing a scratch, as though slicing through a mere illusion.
What was happening? The Red-eyed White Tiger shook its head, unable to believe its eyes.
"Itās just a matter of finding gaps within the Wind Blades and moving at extreme speed within confined spaces!" Ling Fengās voice rang out, and by the time it did, he was already standing before the Red-eyed White Tiger.
"Roar!" The Red-eyed White Tiger let out a troubled growl. Since the Wind Blades couldnāt harm Ling Feng, it had no choice but to rely on the raw power of its body!
After all, now that it had reached the Mature Phase, its physical strength was far superior to before!
As the Red-eyed White Tiger lunged at Ling Feng, he smirked, "That was just the warm-up. Now Iām getting serious!"
In the blink of an eye, Ling Feng vanished from the Red-eyed White Tigerās sight, only for a storm of relentless attacks to rain down immediately after!
Within mere seconds, Ling Feng had unleashed hundreds of punches, leaving countless Fist Imprints across the Red-eyed White Tigerās body.
The Red-eyed White Tiger was completely stunned by Ling Fengās furious onslaught. His strikes were faster and sharper than before, and the Red-eyed White Tiger couldnāt even track Ling Fengās movements.
It had immense strength but no way to pinpoint its opponentāleaving it helpless as it endured the barrage of blows. The Red-eyed White Tiger experienced frustration in its truest form.
Despite its evolved physical strength and enhanced defenses, they were no match for Ling Fengās relentless attacks!
Soon, the Red-eyed White Tiger was knocked from the air and slammed into the ground with brute force. Its tiger head was swollen, its bones fractured in over a dozen places, and vivid blood stained its once-majestic white fur. The Red-eyed White Tiger, once proud and imposing, was now utterly wretched.
Ling Feng stepped on the Red-eyed White Tigerās head and shook his slightly sore wrist. The past several minutes of combat had taxed him considerably. Such speed and power were not something an ordinary person could tolerate.
"Do you submit?" Ling Feng casually patted the White Tigerās head and said, "If you swear fealty to me, Iāll spare your life. What do you say?"
The Red-eyed White Tiger struggled, shaking its head furiously, but was pinned firmly under Ling Fengās foot. It let out guttural growls, its eyes still burning fiercely, unbroken in defiance!
"Looks like youāre not ready to surrender yet!" Ling Feng sneered, "You really ought to take a look in the mirror. In your current state, what grounds do you even have to resist?"
The Red-eyed White Tigerās eyes gleamed with even greater savagery at Ling Fengās taunts.
"Alright then, Iāll give you one last chance!" Ling Feng mused aloud, "Take your best shot. Use your strongest ability to attack me. By the end of this, Iāll make sure you submit completely!"
With that, Ling Feng released his grip on the Red-eyed White Tiger, and it darted to the side immediately. Though battered, deep down the tiger believed Ling Feng relied solely on speed. When it came to pure strength, he was no match!
"Roar!" the Red-eyed White Tiger growled, and the crimson markings on its body glowed malevolently. At the same time, flames erupted over its frame, flames that carried an eerie wailing sound.
"Ah, so this is your trump card," Ling Feng remarked, the corners of his mouth curving into a grin. He raised a hand and gestured, "Come at me, little one!"
