Chapter 882: Gravely Wounded
CHAPTER 882: CHAPTER 882: GRAVELY WOUNDED
Chen Nan used three Eighth Grade Spirit Talismans in succession, each worth thousands of Spirit Stones.
It could be said that this time he had gone all out.
A huge cloud of smoke rose up, and Chen Nan craned his neck to look over: "That should take care of the little kitty, right?"
Chen Nan mumbled uncertainly, after all, the life force of a demon beast is quite resilient, not so easy to kill.
Sure enough, Chen Nan’s premonition proved correct. As the smoke cleared, the figure of the Thunder Wing White Tiger appeared in Chen Nan’s sight, looking severely injured and quite battered.
Chen Nan could even see the blood-stained white bones through its wounds.
But even with such serious injuries, the Thunder Wing White Tiger not only survived but also triggered its feral nature, its eyes turning crimson as it roared to the sky.
"Roar!"
There was madness in its voice!
The Killing Array of the Cold Domain was still ongoing, and the attacks within the array continued. But at this moment, the Thunder Wing White Tiger no longer defended itself. Instead, it unleashed thunderous lightning and shocking storms, crazily attacking the flags maintaining the array.
Ultimately, Chen Nan underestimated a demon beast at the peak of the ninth level of the Foundation Establishment Stage.
The Thunder Wing White Tiger, with its physical prowess and tenacious life force, became wild and savage, even recklessly hurling its massive body against the array time and again.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Each impact caused the ground to shake violently.
Chen Nan’s pupils shrank abruptly as he saw cracks appearing on the array flags, which wouldn’t hold for much longer.
Now, only two choices lay before him.
Fight to the death, or run away.
"If I allow myself to be subdued by a demon beast, then why cultivate immortality? What vengeance can I hope to enact?"
With a determined heart, Chen Nan fiercely grabbed several bottles of Elixir Pills from his storage bag and tossed them into his mouth, rapidly restoring his nearly depleted mana.
Finally, a crisp cracking sound came from the array’s location. After a couple cracks, more cracking sounds followed one after another, eventually destroying the entire array.
Seeing the shattered array flags, Chen Nan felt even more anguish.
He had gambled everything he had to deal with this Thunder Wing White Tiger.
"Come and fight!"
Golden flames ignited on Chen Nan’s body as he charged toward the Thunder Wing White Tiger.
The Thunder Wing White Tiger had also lost all rationality, only wanting to utterly kill Chen Nan, charging at him as well.
One man and one beast, surrounded by flames and thunder, like two streams of light, ferociously clashed together.
With a loud bang, flames and thunder exploded, and at the center of the explosion, the Thunder Wing White Tiger’s claws entwined with thunder wind blades, pinned Chen Nan harshly to the ground.
The thunder destroyed his vitality, and the wind blades tore his body apart, causing Chen Nan such agony he nearly fainted, but he gritted his teeth and held on.
"Get off me!"
Astounding power erupted from within him, the golden color emitted by the Heaven-Burning Flame on him seemed even more profound, with more power surging into Chen Nan’s body.
At this moment, Chen Nan broke through his limits, able to unleash more of the Heaven-Burning Flame’s power, albeit to a very small extent, yet already enough to astonish.
Chen Nan gradually straightened his body, directly lifting the massive claw open, then leapt to the Thunder Wing White Tiger’s face, and punched out.
The fist burst with blinding golden light, like the sun flaring, the terrifying temperature directly melting the fur on the white tiger’s head, striking brutally against the white bone.
Countless cracks instantly spread out.
Simultaneously, a small sword flew out from Chen Nan’s Dantian, silent yet quick as lightning, unhindered as it pierced the Thunder Wing White Tiger’s body, driving into its interior.
Compared to the white tiger’s size, the small sword was indeed too small, even if it could easily pierce its defenses, it didn’t cause much damage.
But the small sword continued its destruction within the white tiger, constantly weakening its strength.
Chen Nan grew braver as he fought, while the Thunder Wing White Tiger exhausted its last strength.
"Die for me!"
Finally, Chen Nan punched at the white tiger’s head, shattering its skull, but he had also reached his limit, his body almost breaking, his strength and mana exhausted, he fell heavily to the ground.
This was Chen Nan’s most dire moment, even worse than the time he was hunted by Liu Tong, his injuries so severe they had damaged his foundation.
If there was no way to recover, not to mention continuing cultivation, he would lose all his cultivation!
The Thunder Wing White Tiger was covered in wounds, its blood already dyed its body red, walking unsteadily toward Chen Nan, seemingly ready to decide the victor.
But just as the white tiger raised its paw to deliver the final blow to Chen Nan, its massive body could no longer hold on, collapsing with a thunderous sound, completely losing its vitality.
This battle could only be called a pyrrhic victory, a win that was a brutal kind of victory.
Chen Nan lay on the ground, not moving, as he couldn’t muster even a bit of strength now.
"Damn, I overdid it. If my body breaks, I’m done for even if I don’t die."
Checking his physical condition, Chen Nan could only cry with no time to spare.
Even more worrying was that he could feel a number of presences heading this way, getting very close.
"Never thought I’d be the one making a wedding dress for others."
Chen Nan forced himself up, took a few Healing Pills, and with a burning gaze, looked at the massive body of the Thunder Wing White Tiger, storing the corpse in his storage bag.
"No, I can’t stop here. I still have many things to accomplish!"
Gritting his teeth, he stood up again, wanting to leave quickly, but his injuries were too severe, and even after taking pills, he could only barely prevent his condition from worsening.
He had no mana left, moving as a mere mortal, running toward the distance.
In such a state, any random demon beast could see him as food, but Chen Nan still held onto hope in his heart.
As long as he could find a safe place to heal!
But this time, the battle with the Thunder Wing White Tiger seemed to have used up all his luck, as the several presences behind had already caught up.
Chen Nan clenched his fists and turned to look back.
Even in death, he would make them pay!
Finally, those presences arrived in front of Chen Nan, making him pause in surprise, for they were familiar faces.
If not Mo Yan, Xu Man, who else could they be?
"I knew it was you. I was wondering who else would dare challenge Thunder Wing White Tiger, only you would have such guts!"
Mo Yan stepped forward, looking at Chen Nan like some sort of rare creature, clicking his tongue in wonder.
"Hmph, posturing. Now, any Foundation Establishment Stage demon beast could take your life!" Xu Man folded his arms, his mouth still sharp.
Mu Wanqing, with her long hair, timidly spoke, her eyes somewhat dodging as she looked at Chen Nan.
"Why don’t we go first? There are quite a few people chasing after us."
Only then did everyone remember the current situation, as Mo Yan stepped forward to pull Chen Nan away.
Chen Nan weakly said: "What are you planning?"
