Chapter 190: The Hunt for Soul Rings Begins (3)
On this vast and boundless grassland, the two stood facing each other silently, like sculptures, as if time itself had frozen at that moment.
No one dared to act rashly, fearing that even the slightest movement would break the eerie tranquility and trigger a thrilling life-or-death struggle.
The gentle breeze, like a tender hand, softly caressed their bodies.
As a gentle breeze blows, their fur dances in the wind, like swaying blades of grass on a green meadow.
However, despite the tranquil and beautiful surroundings, a tense atmosphere still permeated the air, making it feel suffocating.
The majestic red-striped saber-toothed tiger was filled with doubt and confusion.
It stared at the seemingly frail human before it, finding it hard to imagine what kind of courage the other had that dared to confront its majesty.
At this moment, a strong killing intent surged within it, wishing it could tear this person to pieces immediately to vent its hatred.
But for some reason, whenever it tried to pounce on that human, it was always held back by that person's gaze.
Those eyes were deep and sharp, revealing a chilling aura that even made the Crimson Saber-toothed Tiger, the king of beasts, feel a sense of fear.
It's important to understand that in the world of felines, eye contact often signifies the most direct and intense provocation.
In this silent standoff, the side with the stronger momentum usually gains the upper hand and achieves the final victory.
But now, the red-striped saber-toothed tiger actually sensed a chilling aura in the eyes of this tiny human, which truly surprised and puzzled it.
However, this vast and open grassland is the territory of the Red-banded Saber-toothed Tiger, a symbol of its dominance.
As the dominant power in this land, how could it easily relinquish it?
Even when facing the most powerful enemy, it will fight to the death to defend its dignity and honor.
Meanwhile, Wu He, who was watching from the sidelines, had witnessed the two sides locked in a stalemate for two or three minutes.
As dusk approaches, if no action is taken soon, the situation will likely become even more complicated and unpredictable after nightfall.
With this in mind, Wu He decided to stop waiting to die.
Just then, he inadvertently noticed a stone about the size of a fist at his feet.
He bent down, picked it up casually, and weighed it in his hand for a moment.
The stone weighed about a pound, and its heavy weight stirred something within him.
Immediately afterwards, he took a deep breath, and the powerful soul energy within his body began to rapidly gather in his right hand.
Suddenly, the muscles on Wu He's right arm tensed up, and the veins bulged, as if thick pythons were coiled around it.
With a forceful flick of his wrist, the stone in his hand instantly transformed into a bolt of lightning, shooting out at an astonishing speed!
The thrown stone traveled at an astonishing speed, almost like a cannonball fired from a mortar, hurtling straight toward the red-striped saber-toothed tiger not far away.
Faced with this sudden attack, the red-striped saber-toothed tiger reacted with extreme agility.
Almost the instant the stone was launched, it sensed the approaching danger.
Those sharp eyes were fixed on the rapidly approaching stone, and without hesitation, they made a defensive move—leaping backward.
However, the Red-striped Saber-toothed Tiger's sudden action not only failed to make the big, clumsy man realize that the danger had passed, but also frightened him quite a bit.
In the big, dumb guy's eyes, all he saw was the huge saber-toothed tiger suddenly adopting an attack posture. So, out of instinct, he also hurriedly adopted a defensive posture, concentrating on preparing to meet the possible attack.
But after only a moment, the big guy realized that something seemed wrong.
It turned out that the saber-toothed tiger wasn't trying to attack him, but rather trying to avoid the stone that flew towards him like a cannonball.
Once he realized this, his tense mood immediately relaxed, but at the same time, an excellent opportunity was presented to him.
In the blink of an eye, the big, clumsy man flashed forward, closing in on the Crimson Saber-toothed Tiger like a whirlwind.
Then, he suddenly threw a punch, slamming it with tremendous force into the saber-toothed tiger's relatively vulnerable abdomen.
Logically speaking, even if the giant is two meters tall, it would still be nothing more than an insignificant "little ant" compared to the three- or four-meter-tall Red-banded Saber-toothed Tiger.
But at this moment, the power contained in his all-out attack should not be underestimated.
However, what was unexpected was that this person, who was seen as a "little ant," had a rugged and unrestrained appearance, making it hard to associate him with a cunning person.
However, once he enters combat mode, his performance is quite different from his outward appearance, revealing an extremely cunning fighting style.
Just now, he suddenly threw a punch, which slammed hard into the saber-toothed tiger's abdomen.
From the outside, this attack seemed unremarkable and unremarkable.
But just as he withdrew his fist, a shocking scene unfolded—three holes appeared out of nowhere in the saber-toothed tiger's abdomen, from which blood was slowly flowing out, as if it had been pierced by three invisible blades.
This sudden turn of events truly astonished Wu Heyi, who was watching from the sidelines.
Before this, he had never imagined that this seemingly simple and foolish guy would possess such superb combat talent!
It's important to understand that delivering a fatal blow to the enemy in such a clever and covert way is something no ordinary person could do.
Further observation revealed that the martial spirit of this "big, clumsy guy" was the White Tiger of the Dead.
After he merged with his martial spirit, his entire demeanor underwent a dramatic transformation.
His already fierce and sharp face was now shrouded in an eerie aura, sending chills down one's spine.
This sinister and vicious feeling emanating from within is one of the unique characteristics of the White Tiger Martial Soul.
However, relying solely on the power of the martial spirit itself is clearly far from enough.
If he could obtain the blessing of a powerful spirit ring, the power contained in his attacks would surely be even greater.
At that time, every move he makes will not only damage the opponent's body, but will also penetrate the opponent's soul defenses, inflicting unbearable damage.
In addition, these attacks may also cause the opponent to be briefly stunned or silenced, rendering them powerless to fight back at crucial moments, thus securing victory in one fell swoop.
Moreover, his physical appearance has undergone a complete transformation.
His originally normal build has now become increasingly robust and muscular, resembling a moving hill.
However, what is most striking is not just his massive physique, but the astonishing secret contained within his fists.
His fists seemed to be imbued with a mysterious power, capable of sprouting sharp bone spurs at crucial moments!
These bone spurs, like Wolverine's claws, gleamed coldly, sending chills down one's spine.
Upon closer inspection, three bony spikes protrude abruptly from each fist, long and hard, like the sharp claws of a feline.
Even more remarkably, these three bone spurs could extend and retract freely on his palm.
That's why his punch just now was so unexpected by everyone.
Normally, for a saber-toothed tiger with thick skin and ferocious nature, the attacks would only be considered as tickling it.
But who could have imagined that the moment his fist touched the saber-toothed tiger's body, the three bone spikes suddenly sprang out and pierced deep into the tiger's body with lightning speed.
In an instant, what seemed like an insignificant blow left three shocking bloody holes in the saber-toothed tiger's body!
This was no longer a simple physical injury, but caused serious internal damage.
