CHAPTER 83: CHAPTER 83: COUNTERKILL

Chu Chen walked alone towards the mountain peak.

When he reached halfway up the mountain, his way was blocked by a fierce tiger.

The tiger stood about two and a half meters at the shoulder, with a body length reaching five meters. Its fur was golden, with a black "king" symbol horizontally across its forehead. Its limbs were extremely sturdy, with bulging muscles containing terrifying power. Overall, it didn’t seem much different from an ordinary tiger, but it had four tiger eyes, which looked extremely strange.

One ought to approach unknown creatures with awe, so Chu Chen decisively summoned the Slaughter Atlas to check the creature’s information.

Chu Chen saw the Four-eyed Golden Tiger’s talent and his expression suddenly became serious.

Super Five Senses is an exceptionally troublesome talent. Star Beasts with this talent can remain invincible in hand-to-hand combat.

Of course, these are only theoretical; the specific outcome still depends on the opponent.

Chu Chen patted Lei Yao on the shoulder and whispered, "Be careful."

Lei Yao also seemed to sense the Four-eyed Golden Tiger’s power and nodded gravely.

Lei Yao let out a low growl and unexpectedly charged first toward the Four-eyed Golden Tiger.

Upon seeing this, the opponent didn’t flinch in the slightest, instead revealing a mocking look.

It neither attacked nor dodged, standing in place awaiting Lei Yao’s arrival.

Seeing the opponent’s arrogance, naturally, Lei Yao would go all out to make them pay a price.

In the blink of an eye, Lei Yao reached the Four-eyed Golden Tiger and raised both fists, using Lightning Fist to smash towards the opponent’s head.

Just as Lei Yao’s fists were about to hit the tiger’s face, the Four-eyed Golden Tiger suddenly moved, tilting its head to the left to dodge Lei Yao’s punch, then tilting it right to evade the second punch.

The Four-eyed Golden Tiger kept shaking its head, dodging all of Lei Yao’s Lightning Fist attacks as if it could preemptively sense Lei Yao’s moves.

This left Chu Chen extremely astonished. The Super Five Senses were astonishingly powerful.

One must know that the speed of a Lightning Fist is incredibly fast, capable of striking five times in the blink of an eye.

Under such circumstances, the Four-eyed Golden Tiger managed to dodge all of them, and it hadn’t moved a step from its position.

Lei Yao stared at its own fists in disbelief.

At this moment, the Four-eyed Golden Tiger lifted its paw and directly swatted the stunned Lei Yao away.

This attack didn’t even use any skills; it was just a casual swipe.

Lei Yao quickly got up, feeling a burning sting in its chest.

Looking down, Lei Yao immediately showed an expression of anger. Its anger wasn’t because the injury was severe, but because it was too slight.

How slight? Just barely breaking the skin, and it looked like it would heal in no time.

Evidently, the Four-eyed Golden Tiger did not regard Lei Yao as anything significant.

To the Four-eyed Golden Tiger, Lei Yao wasn’t even worthy as an opponent.

Lei Yao let out a roar of anger and directly unleashed Thunder Blade, slashing at the Four-eyed Golden Tiger.

The Four-eyed Golden Tiger showed no reaction; as if it could foresee the future, it effortlessly leapt to the left to dodge the Thunder Blade’s attack.

The Thunder Blade missed and sliced into the ground, sending electric serpents rapidly spreading outward.

Caught off guard, the Four-eyed Golden Tiger was struck by the electric current and briefly paralyzed, though the paralysis only lasted for a moment.

Chu Chen saw everything, and a slight smile emerged at the corner of his lips, clearly having thought of a counterstrategy.

"Lei Yao, come back," Chu Chen called out softly.

Lei Yao heard this and, with its head hanging low, slowly slunk back like a defeated rooster.

Seeing this, Chu Chen smiled and consoled, "Don’t be discouraged; I’ve figured out how to deal with it."

Upon hearing this, Lei Yao immediately showed signs of joy, grabbing Chu Chen’s sleeve and squeaking excitedly.

Chu Chen glared at the Four-eyed Golden Tiger ambling leisurely, his gaze turning a shade colder.

Holding Lei Yao by the shoulder, Chu Chen whispered, "Remember not to use Thunder Armor, and then do like this..."

Lei Yao grew more excited as it listened, its eyes shining ever brighter.

With the increasingly enthusiastic Lei Yao, Chu Chen helplessly said, "Stay composed. Maintain a state of anger without revealing any flaws."

Hearing this, Lei Yao quickly nodded, turning to face the Four-eyed Golden Tiger with a furious low growl and then charging at it again with all its might.

The Four-eyed Golden Tiger’s eyes were filled with amusement, facing Lei Yao’s attack with even more disdain.

Each time it dodged Lei Yao’s attack, it would lightly swat Lei Yao away.

Watching the increasingly furious Lei Yao, the Four-eyed Golden Tiger seemed inwardly satisfied, its playful nature growing more intense.

Observing Lei Yao’s repeated setbacks, the Four-eyed Golden Tiger became more confident, its mood growing more relaxed.

Seeing this, Chu Chen couldn’t help but reveal a sneer.

Once again, the Four-eyed Golden Tiger dodged Lei Yao’s attack and was about to repel Lei Yao again.

At this moment, Lei Yao suddenly let out a low roar, and a concentrated mass of Thunder Element rapidly gathered towards it, with Thunder Serpent covering its body in an instant.

Only then did the Four-eyed Golden Tiger realize something was wrong, and it was too late to retract its attack.

The tiger’s paw struck the Thunder Armor, and Thunder Serpent snaked from the paw onto the Four-eyed Golden Tiger’s body.

The Four-eyed Golden Tiger instantly stiffened, its tiger eyes contracting. It finally realized it had fallen into a trap.

In haste, it tried to summon its Star Power, attempting to expel the Thunder Element from its body.

But Lei Yao had no intention of giving it any opportunity.

Lei Yao jumped directly onto the Four-eyed Golden Tiger’s back, gripping the fur at its neck with its left hand while its right hand, wrapped in Thunder Serpent, struck the opponent’s head.

"Bang, bang, bang!"

After a few punches, the Four-eyed Golden Tiger turned into a puddle of mud on the ground, with blood streaming from its nose and mouth, its breath visibly weakening.

However, Lei Yao showed no sign of stopping, venting all its previous grievances and anger.

Chu Chen watched the scene before him with a strange expression.

In his mind, he mused, "This is like a Beast Tamer version of Wu Song fighting the tiger."

After several more punches, Lei Yao finally stopped.

By this time, the Four-eyed Golden Tiger’s head had already been smashed into pulp, and it completely lost its breath.

In this battle, without utilizing Frenzy, they managed to take down the Four-eyed Golden Tiger by exploiting its arrogance.

Lei Yao’s anger and irrational attacks were all a performance designed to numb the opponent and lower its guard.

The final step was to use the Thunder Element’s properties to paralyze the Four-eyed Golden Tiger. Due to its overconfidence, it had not used Star Power to protect itself, thereby giving Lei Yao the opportunity.

Otherwise, under Star Power’s protection, the Thunder Element’s properties would be significantly weakened, and Lei Yao wouldn’t have had the chance to kill the Four-eyed Golden Tiger.
