"Roar!"
A furious roar echoed, and before the claws of the two tigers could touch Zhou Xuan.
A black shadow suddenly appeared, blocking the path of the two beast kings.
"Bang!"
With a loud bang, before Zhou Xuan could even react to what was happening.
He saw the black shadow that had been blocking him moments ago, sent flying backward.
"This..." kuAiδugg
"Why did it even block the attack for me?"
"Even if they weren't in cahoots, they shouldn't be doing this!"
Zhou Xuan was filled with astonishment at what was happening before him.
Not for any other reason than the black shadow that had previously appeared in front of him and blocked the attack.
It was the skinny tiger that had been chasing him earlier.
Zhou Xuan had thought that this creature was chasing him so that he would attract the attention of the two tigers behind it, allowing it to escape.
But now, it seemed that things were not as he had imagined.
As Zhou Xuan was still bewildered by the unclear situation.
The skinny tiger that had been sent flying moments ago let out another roar.
It suddenly got up from the ground in the distance, then with a dash, it arrived beside Zhou Xuan.
"Roar!"
After rushing to Zhou Xuan's side, the skinny tiger turned its massive head and let out a cry towards Zhou Xuan.
Zhou Xuan then sensed a hint of human-like concern from its bell-sized tiger eyes.
It seemed as if, if it could speak, it would be asking if Zhou Xuan had been injured just now.
"Uh, this..."
"I'm fine!"
"But you just took two swipes, are you okay?"
Although surprised by the situation, Zhou Xuan was not an ordinary person and quickly reacted.
This skinny tiger had likely lived in this spiritual mountain for a long time, thus absorbing a lot of spiritual energy.
It was more sentient than ordinary animals.
Although Zhou Xuan still didn't know why this creature had come forward to protect him.
But since the other party had shown goodwill, Zhou Xuan certainly wouldn't refuse.
After all, if he could win over this skinny tiger, he would have an extra helper.
And this way, his opponents would be reduced from three tigers to two.
Zhou Xuan would be much more at ease in the fight.
Hearing Zhou Xuan's reply, the skinny tiger shook its head in a very human-like manner.
Then, it even extended a paw, pointing to a robust tiger opposite them, and then pointing to itself.
Its meaning seemed to be that it would handle that one.
"Okay!"
"Brother Tiger, no problem!"
"You deal with that one, and I'll take care of the other one!"
Seeing the skinny tiger's actions, Zhou Xuan was overjoyed.
He hadn't expected that the skinny tiger would not only step forward to protect him but also want to cooperate with him.
Although Zhou Xuan still found this bizarre situation somewhat unbelievable, he didn't care.
As long as he could escape, what was wrong with cooperating with a tiger?
Hearing Zhou Xuan agree to its proposal, the skinny tiger let out a roar.
Without further ado, it charged forward and began to fight with the tiger it had pointed to.
"Heh heh, I don't know what's going on here!"
"But you guys are finished!"
"You chased Grandpa Zhou all this way, now it's time for me to fight back!"
Seeing that the skinny tiger had already made its move, Zhou Xuan let out a loud laugh, circulated the true qi within his body to cover the Ling Tian Battle Halberd.
Then, with a loud shout, he raised the battle halberd in his hand and thrust it towards the front claw of the other robust tiger.
He had suffered so much being chased by these two just now, now it was time to get some interest back.
"Pfft!"
With the sound of a blade entering flesh, Zhou Xuan's battle halberd directly pierced the left front claw of the robust tiger.
The tiger, in pain, immediately became enraged and raised its other claw to strike Zhou Xuan's head.
This tiger had originally intended to help its brother deal with the skinny tiger.
But unexpectedly, it was attacked first.
And it was attacked by the prey it had been chasing all along.
How could the proud king of all beasts swallow this insult?
Furthermore, Zhou Xuan had unleashed his full power just now.
Therefore, his pure Yang true qi and pure Yin qi were both attached to the Ling Tian Battle Halberd in his hand.
The moment the tip of the Ling Tian Battle Halberd pierced its left front claw, it also sent the two streams of true qi into its body.
Now its left claw felt alternately hot and cold.
Coupled with the stinging pain from the wound, the feeling was unbearable.
Thus, when it struck at Zhou Xuan, it used all its strength.
Only by crushing this ant that dared to challenge it into a pulp would it be able to quell its rage!
"With mere strength, it is ultimately just a beast!"
"Fighting your brother might be a challenge, but fighting you alone is more than enough!"
Seeing the tiger's move, Zhou Xuan smiled slightly.
He directly executed a slide to dodge the tiger's attack, then thrust another halberd into the tiger's belly.
"Roar!"
Its body attacked again, the robust tiger fell into a frenzy.
Disregarding the heavy bleeding from its wound, it bared its fangs and claws and charged at Zhou Xuan again.
Seeing that the robust tiger had gone mad, Zhou Xuan wisely chose not to clash with it head-on.
Instead, like a slippery loach, he continuously dodged and weaved through the tiger's attacks.
And from time to time, he would use the battle halberd in his hand to add more wounds to the tiger's existing injuries.
Thus, with the alternation of offense and defense, half an hour passed in the blink of an eye.
Looking at the tiger, whose attack frequency had significantly decreased and was showing signs of fatigue.
Zhou Xuan knew it was time for him to counterattack.
Thinking this, Zhou Xuan was just about to pick up his battle halberd and initiate an attack on the tiger, when he suddenly stopped.
"Perhaps, I can try that move!"
"I've been itching to try after seeing Hei Hu and the others use spiritual energy techniques!"
"Why not take this opportunity to give it a shot?"
"Coincidentally, there's still a living creature here that can help me test the power of that technique."
"In the past, when I was training, the old man only made me practice against large rocks and wood!"
"I've never tried it on a living being before!"
As soon as the thought arose in his mind, Zhou Xuan could no longer suppress it.
Glancing again at the tiger before him, which was exhausted but still stubbornly preparing to attack him again.
Zhou Xuan's gaze gradually firmed.
"Since you're so persistent in trying to kill me, I can't just let you off!"
"Intermediate Spiritual Energy Technique, Aurora Pierce!"
As Zhou Xuan's murmured words fell, the two streams of true qi in his body began to surge towards the Ling Tian Battle Halberd in his hand.
At the same time, a terrifying pressure instantly covered this jungle.
The entire jungle fell silent at this moment!
