Chapter 18 - A Bloody Fight in the Canyon

The Fiery Tiger came in full fury, and Nie Tian would not show the muscle in confrontation with it. He made the Leaf and Swan Step, moving his body yards away. Creepy was the move though.
"Bang." The Fiery Tiger stomped with its paw with an imposing manner that a mountain was removed, only shattering the giant stone where Nie Tian stood. And there even appeared a crack on the ground.
Nie Tian took a few steps back, keeping the Fiery Tiger at bay.
The Fiery Tiger deserved the reverence as the level-two spirit monster. The power of the paw could amount to five thousand kilograms at least.
However, with the power measured by several thousands of kilograms and even the Star Power, he would not be able to exert power to such an effect. The clash with the Fiery Tiger would mean an early doom to him.
"Roar!" One strike missing and the monster gave a furious growl. It turned the gigantic figure, whipping his steel-like tail over.
"Nice try of you, sly piece!" Nie Tian did not see that coming. It was a little too late before he could react and dodge.
The crucial moment saw him raise his two arms and cross them before the chest.
"Crack." The tiger's tail whipped and hit the two arms of Nie Tian, only sending him into the air.
With a flip, Nie Tian landed beautifully.
But there was a red blood stain on the arms, which was very appalling.
"Talk about luck. The Star Power saves two arms for me." Nie Tian was very grateful within himself. The Star Power had boosted his physical power. Otherwise, his cultivation of the ninth level of Vital Veins could never afford the strike.
As the Fiery Tiger tasted the sweetness, it became more violent and was now rushing to Nie Tian.
"You red-hair beast, who do you think I am, a Hello Kitty?" Nie Tian snickered, summoned all his vital power and seemed willing to engage in a deadly fight.
"East Emperor Death Touch. Die you." Nie Tian pointed a finger out, with a blast of pressure penetrating the air from the fingertip. It travelled in an unpredictable route, like a lightning bolt, but located at the Fiery Tiger.
Sensing the danger, the Tiger dangled its head in the air.
"Puff." The East Emperor Death Touch hit one of the Tiger's eye, smashing the eyeball with its fierce pressure.
For the first time, Nie Tian employed the Star Power into the East Emperor Death Touch. The power was so overwhelming that a Kung Fu learner at the level of Vital Spirit would feel his life at stakes.
"Whine!" The eyeball got wrecked, and the blood covered the larger half of the Fiery Tiger's head. The sudden pain seized it tightly, followed by bitter cries.
The Tiger now landed, measuring and glaring at Nie Tian with the sole eye, as if to eat him alive.
Nie Tian was somewhat nervous, for the Fiery Tiger had gone furious. One mistake could mean fatality.

The Fiery Tiger got all hair up, now rife with violence and maliciousness.
"Whoosh." When the Fiery Tiger was about to attack Nie Tian, another gigantic figure swept through.
It was the Queen of Icy Snakes.
The popping-out Queen rendered the Fiery Tiger at a loss, and succeeded in tangling its body, robbing its capability for action.
The Fiery Tiger fell down, but it roared fiercely as its giant head was struggling for a room to bite off the head of its rivalry.
But the Queen of the Icy Snakes were much more powerful, indeed, who slowly tightened the prey, squeezing out the Tiger's breathable air.
There was this moment when Nie Tian got utterly carried away by the scene.
Never did it come to his mind that the Queen of Icy Snakes would display such overwhelming power, given that she just was delivered of her babies.
To protect the eggs, the Queen would risk her life against the Fiery Tiger.
The Tiger gathered more power in struggling, rolling his giant figure and colliding against the nearby rocks. Blood was running wild and appallingly on the Queen's body.
"I got to do something. The Queen would be killed if I let it happen." Nie Tian was in his close observation, attempting for a deadly strike on the Fiery Tiger.
There was zero chance for the Queen of Icy Snakes to slay the Fiery Tiger, given that she was not a level-two spirit monster, that she had yet to recover from spawning and that her body was only too weak.
"There you go." Nie Tian saw the opportunity and made his Leaf and Swan Step, moving his body and approaching the entangled beasts, discreetly though creepily.
As he drew near the Fiery Tiger, Nie Tian tilted his body, reached his two feet and rode on the neck of the Tiger.
His one hand was clutching to its ear, the other reached for the broken Welkin Sword, aimed at the rear head of the Tiger and stabbed on it hard.
"Puff." In the sword and out the blood, with the twitch of the sword handle.
"Roar!" The Fiery Tiger was crying out in grief. It exerted all the power left one last time. The giant figure leaped, only to clash with a stone.
"Oh, shoot." Nie Tian exclaimed, stomped on the ground hard and flied over.
'"Bang." With a crash, the Fiery Tiger and the Queen of Icy Snakes collided against a giant`'stone which, measured by a height of five or six meters, got shattered into pieces.
At the same time, Nie Tian landed on the ground, safe and sound.
He took a step forward to check the Fiery Tiger and the Queen of Icy Snakes.
Half of the head of the Fiery Tiger was broken, with blood running all over. It was dead completely.
The bloody Queen of Icy Snakes had one last breath to catch. Its eyes were fixed on the snake's den where its babies were curdled.
"Nie Tian, are you alright?" At the sight of two beasts going down, Mo Ruxi summoned her courage to come over, looking at Nie Tian in amazement.
"I'm fine." Nie Tian was now wearing his faint smile, as if the narrow escape was a thing of long past.
Nie Tian saw the regret of the Queen, and he stepped forward, "May you rest in peace. Your babies will be on my watch. "
The Queen seemed to read Nie Tian's words and she closed the blue and icy pupils slowly, and there was no more trace of vitality.
Nie Tian did not hesitate going forward and cutting open the head of the Queen of Icy Snakes for its crystal spirit core.
Then he put a hand into the bloody hole in the rear head of the Fiery Tiger, extracting a fiery spirit core.
The two spirit cores, red and white, have the attributes of fire and ice, which was very rare to see.
Nie Tian handed over the spirit core of the Fiery Tiger to Mo Ruxi, "You shall keep it safe, as the spirit core of the Fiery Tiger could be of great help for your later cultivation."
"Well...I...Can I have that?" Mo Ruxi was surprised. The two spirit cores were stakes for Nie Tian's life. That Nie Tian gave one of them directly to Mo Ruxi really warmed her heart.
Nie Tian would not care too much. He smiled, "Finders keepers."
"..."Mo Ruxi was speechless.
Nie Tian put away the spirit core of the Queen of Icy Snakes, turned his eyes into the den of the canyon and frowned, "Why the air is still this cold? Could it be that there is a King of Icy Snakes?"
From inside the den which the Queen of Icy Snakes died for came a powerful blast of air.
The blast of air was even more intimidating than that of the Queen.
Nie Tian could not help wondering whether there was a King of Icy Snakes in the den.
"Ruxi, you wait here and I'll go check the den." Nie Tian was not sure what was in the den, so he just had Mo Ruxi waiting outside.
Mo Ruxi scanned the dead bodies across the canyon, swallowed her saliva unconsciously and whispered, "Please come out early"
"Aye." Nie Tian promised her and then turned around for the den.
