Devouring: Starting with an innate sacred body and Dao embryo

Chapter 9: Both sides are severely injured, encountering the Black Tiger.

"Luckily we arrived in time. If we had waited any longer, and this four-winged black tiger had evolved into a six-winged black tiger, none of us would have been able to leave alive."

Liu Cong stared intently at the four-winged black tiger, his hand gripping a massive axe, as large as a door panel.

"Although it hasn't evolved into a six-winged black tiger yet, we still need to be careful, otherwise some of us might perish here."

Du Chen held the Blood Shadow Battle Blade in his right hand and raised his shield in his left, staring intently at the four-winged black tiger, not daring to be careless in the slightest.

"If the three of us can't defeat this four-winged black tiger, wouldn't it be defying the heavens? I'll make the first move to test the waters!"

Bai Jue was actually a mentalist. He was flying in the air, and the throwing knives in front of him flew towards the four-winged black tiger like shuttles.

"Awooo!"

The four-winged black tiger roared violently, like the roar of a warship engine, so that no other monster within a ten-mile radius dared to approach it.

Even many human martial artists fell silent upon hearing this roar, fleeing the area and heading to other places.

The intense roar of the tiger caused air to vibrate, and the throwing knives trembled and weakened before they even got close.

"What?!"

Bai Jue's expression changed. Although it was a test, he had used all his strength, but he did not expect that the four-winged black tiger would resolve it so easily.

"Let's act together, lest things get complicated."

Liu Cong let out a soft shout and swung his giant axe down fiercely, displaying his high-level war god strength to the fullest.

"Alright! Take this!"

Du Chen unleashed the sixth level of the Nine-Fold Thunder Blade, with a power amplitude of 4.9 times that of the blade.

Bai Jue controlled ten SS-grade throwing knives, which whistled as they flew towards the four-winged black tiger.

The four-winged black tiger was already furious that its evolution had been interrupted by Liu Cong and his two companions.

Now, seeing them attacking, he was filled with rage. He roared like a tiger, spread his four wings and flapped them, and a hurricane swept through like a blade as he fought Liu Cong and the other two.

Incredibly loud explosions echoed one after another, and the buildings that once stood here collapsed one by one.

The destruction caused by battles between War Gods, especially high-level War Gods, is immense.

Everywhere was as if it had been bombarded by cannonballs, the ground was full of craters, and everything in its path was reduced to dust.

The battle lasted for several hours before it was finally brought to a complete end.

"Damn it, it got away!"

Liu Cong and the other two stood on a pile of ruins, all of them seriously injured.

A huge gash appeared in Liu Cong's chest, extending from his left chest to his right abdomen, and blood kept flowing out, forcing him to take out a hemostatic spray.

Although the bleeding stopped, he was no longer able to fight for a short period of time.

Du Chen's left hand was completely torn off, and his body was covered in wounds.

Bai Jue was in the worst condition; both of his legs were broken and covered with hideous bite marks, clearly from being bitten off during his battle with the four-winged black tiger.

"I didn't expect this four-winged black tiger to be so strong. Even with the three of us working together, we couldn't take it down."

Of the three, Liu Cong is the strongest, a high-level war god.

However, Du Chen and Bai Jue are both quite strong. One has cultivated the Nine-Fold Thunder Blade to the sixth level, and the other is a mentalist, both comparable to high-level war gods.

Moreover, the three of them had made ample preparations to kill the four-winged black tiger, but it still managed to escape in the end, leaving all three of them feeling resentful.

"However, that black tiger is also severely injured. It is now only at the level of a low-level lord. Let's find a place to recover first, and then go find it."

Liu Cong looked at the three of them in their miserable state and realized that if they did not recover as soon as possible, their lives might be in danger.

Moreover, this is City 009, where not only the Four-Winged Black Tiger, a Lord-level monster, exists, but there are even King-level monsters.

Given their current condition, if they were to encounter such an attack, they would likely all perish in the jaws of beasts.

Therefore, we can only evacuate from this place first, find a place to recover from our injuries, and then look for the escaped four-winged black tiger.

"That's all we can do."

Bai Jue and Du Chen sighed helplessly and accepted the proposal.

……

The knife strikes are deliberate and powerful, yet graceful and fluid, like ink splashes, creating a beautiful effect.

Jiang Chen was like a relentless killing machine, constantly wielding his sword amidst the monster horde, honing his swordsmanship.

The levels of swordsmanship are divided into basic, specialized, perfect, and artistic realm.

Jiang Chen's swordsmanship has now reached the level of specialization, and he is moving towards the level of perfection.

And battles and killings are the best way to hone one's skills.

With perfect agility, he weaved through the monster horde, completely at his command, making precise dodges every time.

Then the longsword slashed, each strike precisely hitting the monster's vital points, killing it instantly.

Not a single mistake, not a single poem, not a single post, not a single piece of content, not a single look!

As more and more monsters fell, the besieging monsters gradually became terrified, and their frenzied attacks came to a halt, showing signs of a rout.

Just then, a roar like muffled thunder intensified their fear, and they all turned and fled.

Upon hearing the beast's roar, Jiang Chen frowned and turned to look.

A huge black tiger came galloping in from who-knows-where.

Its body was covered with jagged, grotesque knife wounds, and its tail was broken in half.

The two pairs of wings on its back broke off and drooped helplessly on the ground.

The four-winged black tiger went mad due to the excruciating pain caused by its injuries.

Upon seeing Jiang Chen, a human martial artist, its enormous tiger eyes instantly turned blood red. Ignoring its injuries, it swung a claw at him.

Jiang Chen quickly raised his shield to defend himself.

Even so, it was still instantly sent flying hundreds of meters away, crashing into buildings and burying them in the ruins.

After venting its rage, the four-winged black tiger felt its wounds, which had stopped bleeding, reopen, and a large pool of blood seeped out and flowed onto the ground.

This instantly brought it to its senses. Regardless of whether it had killed the human warrior or not, it tried to flee and find a secluded place to recover from its injuries.

"So you're already seriously injured, yet you still dare to provoke me. Well then, you'll leave your life here."

Splash!

Amidst the ruins and rubble, Jiang Chen's figure burst forth, once again blocking the four-winged black tiger's path as it prepared to flee.

The two, one human and one beast, stared at each other, one cold and indifferent, the other haughty and disdainful, locked in a fierce confrontation.

The four-winged black tiger struck first. Even though it was seriously injured, its inherent arrogance made it unable to tolerate a human martial artist who had not even reached the War God Realm taunting and provoking it.

The tiger lunged forward, its large, sharp claws striking down.

Jiang Chen held his longsword horizontally in front of him, unleashing the Ninefold Thunder Blade technique, one layer after another, in an unbroken continuous stream.

Eight flying knives whistled through the air in front of him, hurtling towards him.

The longsword clashed with the tiger's claws, while the throwing knife was intercepted by the tiger's tail.

Despite being severely injured, the four-winged black tiger was still quite powerful.

Even with his perfect movement technique, the explosive power of the fourth level of the Nine-Fold Thunder Blade, and advanced warrior-level mental strength, Jiang Chen was still at a disadvantage against this four-winged black tiger.

However, facing the fierce attack of the four-winged black tiger, Jiang Chen remained as steadfast as a reef in the sea, wielding his battle sword to fight it head-on.

Eight throwing knives circled around, like bloodthirsty sharks, aiming for the cracked wounds all over the four-winged black tiger's body and stabbing into them, causing its injuries to worsen continuously.
