Immortal Path to Heaven Chapter 199 - You’re Getting Yourself Killed

Chapter 199 You’re Getting Yourself Killed
“Roar…”
The big multicolored tiger’s raging roar resounded through Heaven and Earth. It stared at He Liangce with its fierce eyes, and the snakehead on its tail was doing the same.
Nonetheless, there was something the powerful half-spirit beast could not figure out. The little insect in front of it only had that much strength. There was a huge disparity between their power and speed, but no matter how it attacked throughout the long period, it could not eliminate the small insect.
The insect was still jumping around under the tiger’s nose.
Although the big multicolored tiger’s strength increased with time, its comprehension in nature was far from a human’s, hence it could not understand the magical effect of the integration of Heaven and man
Nevertheless, even when the tiger only relied on its oppressive strength, it always had the upper hand.
It could always give He Liangce enormous pressure with every attack made, and as long as the young master made a mistake, he would be threatened by death.
Despite that, He Liangce maintained a good mental state since the beginning. He kept a straight face, but his eyes were bright. The big tiger’s reactions were always within He Liangce’s expectations, so he could make suitable judgments and come up with the best counterattack measure in advance.
This was the reason He Liangce could hold on for a long time despite the big tiger’s ruthlessness.
Even then, it was not easy for him to constantly stay in the state of the integration of Heaven and man.
He Liangce exhaled deeply after he dodged the big tiger’s attack once more.
‘I’ve stalled it for quite some time. I can probably escape now.’
However, it was then that he subconsciously thought about what Ou Yangming said before he left.
‘Stall it for now—I’ll come back!’
He Liangce shook his head to cast that thought aside and wondered, ‘It has been nearly an hour. Ou Yangming must’ve escaped with Ni Yinghong, he definitely won’t come back.
‘Besides, how could Ni Yinghong let him come back to court his death?
‘This big multicolored tiger is frightening. Even if he’s here, we might be able to escape from the beast, but we can’t slaughter it.’
He Liangce made his decision.
He retrieved an item and threw it at the big tiger.
Even though the tiger was stamping with rage, it had already taken notice of the little insect in front of it. The moment the big tiger saw something flying in its direction, it paused and slapped the item.
“Pow…”
The item exploded and burst out in all directions.
It was an explosive wolf fang, one of the many fangs that Ou Yangming gave to him.
The wolf fang was extremely powerful after it exploded, and its mightiness was hair-raising, but the half-spirit beast’s skin was so tough that it was unreasonable.
While the bits from the exploded wolf fang were forceful, they could not puncture the tiger’s skin at all.
The big multicolored tiger looked coldly at the holes around him and was indifferent. ‘How did this little toy scare me?’
He Liangce’s face changed, and he tossed another wolf fang at the beast. This time, the big tiger casually slapped the fang away and caused it to explode again. The explosive wolf fang would be able to destroy an ordinary ferocious beast or even a group of beasts, but it was weak and powerless against the half-spirit beast.
He Liangce seemed to be at his wit’s end. He yelled and threw another wolf fang.
Once again, the big multicolored tiger slapped with its paw, but just as it did, it vaguely felt something extra on the fang. “Pow…”
Dense yellow smoke instantly burst out beneath the big tiger’s paw, and the smoke spread out as fast as a sudden thunderclap.
In a flash, the yellow smoke shrouded over the area.
“Roar, roar, roar…”
Furious roars were heard coming from the big tiger amid the smoke as the tiger became immensely infuriated.
‘How dare this little insect tease me? It really deserves to die.’
Though the yellow smoke spread out fast, it dispersed quickly too, thus it disappeared after a brief moment.
The big multicolored tiger stood still on the ground. Its body was so full of killing intent that it could kill someone.
Nonetheless, the little insect in front of the tiger was already nowhere to be found.
The big tiger wrinkled its nose and widened its fierce eyes, but it did not make a move even after a long time. This was because the yellow smoke had a unique power that caused it to lose its sense of smell and tracking ability for some time.
As such, the big multicolored tiger was enraged, and it became more feverish. Just as it was on the verge of going mad, it twitched its ears. When the tiger suddenly turned to look, its tail bent high up, and the snakehead had a sinister look in its eyes.
“Roar…”
An earth-shattering roar echoed between Heaven and Earth again.
X ***
He Liangce was speeding in the dense forest, but he kept an elegant bearing and step technique.
The elegance had already fused into his bones and became one of his instincts.
A rather proud smile could be seen on He Liangce’s face, and he seemed very relaxed as though the long fight, which lasted for an hour, did not affect him greatly at all. Everything was due to his relaxed mental state.
The half-spirit beast was not an ordinary beast at all, and when compared to the giant wolf king that He Liangce encountered earlier, the former was a bright moon while the latter was a firefly—they were on different levels.
If the giant wolf king was similar to a powerhouse who had just entered Yang Grade, the bit multicolored tiger was equivalent to an experienced Supreme Great Ancestor.
There was a huge disparity between them.
He Liangce’s martial arts cultivation base was only at the peak of Yang Grade.
Even so, he contended with a Supreme Great Ancestor for such a long time. Although the great ancestor was not a human but a half-spirit beast, he would gain a huge reputation if word spread.
Needless to say, He Liangce was delighted that he benefited greatly from the experience.
After all, the comprehension during a battle of life or death was the more important reward.
When He Liangce heard the vague roars coming from behind him, he smiled brighter than before.
He was extremely confident about the yellow smoke that he released because it was a unique treasure from his clan, and it was specially made to be used against powerful half-spirit beasts.
The young master did not have many of those treasures and each one of them was valuable, but he did not regret using it.
He soon sped up a little because he should not stay for too long in the dangerous place.
That said, the big tiger’s roars were heard again.
He Liangce took another few steps before he halted. The smile on his face remained, but he looked rather confused.
“The roars sound quite strange…’
Earlier on, the big multicolored tiger’s roars were loud and clear, but it sounded like it was regretful, angry, and was not resigned to the outcome.
On the opposite, the roars now were…
‘Why does it sound excited and happy?’
When a thought crossed He Liangce’s mind, the smile of his face slowly froze.
He mumbled, “Oh my god, that’s impossible! It’s definitely impossible…”
However, his legs seemed to have been filled with lead because he could not take even half a step forward anymore.
After a moment of hesitation, He Liangce made his decision. Instead of escaping further away, he turned and made his way back quietly.
He had tried his best to disguise it, but he was still traveling at the speed of light. Before long, he was near to where he escaped from.
As He Liangce became closer to the area, his face took on a grim expression.
This was because he heard whistling sounds, as well as exchanges of blows.
He could not see the exact situation of the fight yet, but even if he pondered with his toes, he could tell who was fighting the big multicolored tiger at that moment.
For some reason, He Liangce raged with fire. ‘Has that fella really gone mad? ‘I spared no effort in stalling the beast and even used a precious treasure of mine, which was why I was lucky enough to escape from the big tiger. ‘I’m a Yang Grade powerhouse, but it was already such a strenuous fight for me, so why are you, a small Yin Grade martial artist, here to get involved?
‘Besides, didn’t you want to kill me earlier? Why did you suddenly become so passionate and impulsive?
‘And Ni Yinghong that young lady-she looks so smart, but she’s a big idiot during a crucial moment!
‘Did she send him here for him to court his death?’
While He Liangce was outraged, deep down, his heart pounded.
“This fella’s an extremely rash person. Even if I save him now, he won’t be able to live for long, but…” He Liangce mumbled after he exhaled deeply, then he shook his head and said, “His talent is quite useful, so I’ll need him for sure when we fight it in the future. I’ll be generous and save him this time!”
He Liangce seemed to have convinced himself, so he flashed and dashed over at a higher speed than before.
When he spread out his body, he looked like he had transformed into a big bird that instantly shuttled through the dense forest and arrived outside the fight scene.
Sure enough, the big multicolored tiger was fighting to kill a person. That person kept evading the tiger’s attacks by utilizing the terrain and the environment. In addition, the person was holding a long spear, which was quite an eyesore in the situation. It was incredibly difficult to wield the spear given the circumstances, but the person rather dodged with the spear than letting it go.
On the spur of the moment, the person stopped and pointed the spear tip downward. He stood facing the tiger at a distance away.
Next, he went away with his spear.
The big multicolored tiger roared and transformed into a colorful light to pursue the person, causing the distance between them to be drawn closer again.
He Liangce sighed. ‘How can you flee in a straight line when you’re up against a big multicolored tiger? You’re getting yourself killed!’
“Idiot!” He Liangce uttered, then he held his folding fan horizontally and channeled his Qi from his dantian into his legs. With bright eyes, the young master charged at the beast. As the big tiger pounced on his target aggressively, He Liangce perfectly hit his fan 20 centimeters below the snakehead.
