Chapter 22 – Siege

With Zhang Yueming’s inspiration, all of the youths once again mustered up their courage. They even promised many benefits that caused all of the youths’ blood to boil, wishing that they could rush forward and kill the two fierce beasts one by one right now.

Zhang Yueming immediately stopped the others from doing so. He could tell that the purple striated pig had not reached the end of the line yet. Although he had the confidence to take care of the mountain tiger, if he had the chance to weaken its power, it would be best not to let it go.

Yang Junshan and Yue Shan who were hiding behind the rocks, had seen everything that Zhang Yueming and the rest were planning, so Su Baozhang touched Yang Junshan and asked: “What do we do now, that Zhang Yueming has too many treasures, we are not their match.”

Even though Zhang Yueming had only revealed three treasures before and after, every single one of them was extremely frightening. Even Yang Junshan, who had the experiences of his previous life, had thought that he had made the best possible preparations, but he was still at a disadvantage when compared to the three treasures in Zhang Yueming’s hands. Furthermore, Yang Junshan would not simply believe that Zhang Yueming only had these three methods.

“Don’t worry!”

Yang Junshan pouted and said: “It’s useless to be anxious. We still have a Treadmill bear ahead of us, unless we scare that guy out of his wits!”

Su Baozhang also curiously said: “That is true, but sucuge disturbance and this huge bear doesn’t have the slightest bit of activity, is this still a fierce and violent Treadmill bear?”

Yang Junshan looked at the place where the Treadmill bear was hiding, his eyes flashing with an indescribable luster, and said: “It will make its move!”

Just then, the purple striated pig let ouainful howl that was close to death. Although the back of the mountain tiger’s leg was injured by the purple striated pig’s counterattack before it died, and there were a few bloody wounds on its back, its abdomen was hit a few times consecutively, making it seem as if it was losing some strength. It could not stand steadily, but it still pressed the Patterned Boar onto the ground and bit down on its throat.

“Everyone attack together!”

A loud shout came from the forest behind the Mountain Tiger, Zhang Yueming took the lead and poured all of the cultivated spirit energy stored within his body into the Firebird talisman in his hand. A ball of fire suddenly exploded in his hand, and the flames formed a three-foot-long Fire Bird that had been chirping in mid air, which pounced towards the Mountain Tiger as if it had a mind of its own, and no matter how the Mountain Tiger dodged, the Fire Bird remained behind it.

Seeing that, the few youths were ecstatic, they all held their weapons in their hands and followed behind Zhang Yueming while shouting, as long as the Fire Bird Talisman managed to injure Mountain Tiger, they would be able to obtain two high leveled beasts.

Everywhere the Fire Bird passed, the branches of the trees and the dead grass and broken vines would all be ignited. Seeing that there was nowhere for the tiger to hide while sitting on the mountain to hide, his legs suddenly went soft. His entire body flipped intit while the Fire Bird, in that instant, hit the ground next to the pit.

“Alright!”

“Now that we’re sitting on a mountain tiger, we’re dead. We need to quickly put out the fire. We need to be careful not to burn this beast alive!”

All of the youths were overjoyed, and including Zhang Yueming, they all ran forward to extinguish the fire.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, an angry roar suddenly came from within the flames. All of the youngsters were astonished. Could it be that the Fire Bird Talisman couldn’t even burn this kind of vicious beast?

Just as everyone was startled, Zhang Yueming suddenly realised something was wrong. His expression changed greatly as he shouted: “Retreat!”

However, it was already too late. The enormous body of the mountain tiger suddenly came out from the fire. Half of its body had already been burnt by the flames of the Fire Bird Talisman, but it did not take away Shan Jun’s life.

The location where the mountain tiger was at before was completely engulfed by the fire created by the Fire Bird Talisman, causing Zhang Yueming and the other youths to be unable to discover any clues. However, the two, who were hiding amongst the rocks, were able to see clearly from above that when the mountain tiger was escaping, it had fallen into the den that the purple striated pig had built under the tree stumps.

The nest built from branches had originally been destroyed in the process of the fight between the mountain tiger and purple striated pig, but because of this, the mountain tiger had been able to avoid the Fire Bird Talisman’s fire attack at the first moment.

Immediately after that, although the tiger was still severely injured by the Fire Bird Talisman and its two hind legs had already turned black, the Tiger was still alive and had escaped the Fire Bird Talisman’s range of attack.

Su Baozhang could not help but exclaim, “This Mountain Tiger’s life force is so strong, it can even stand up like this!”

Yang Junshan’s eyes flashed with excitement, and he said: “That’s because this Steadfast Tiger’s body must have been nurtured witelestial Tiger Bone!”

A look of envy flashed past Su Baozhang’s eyes when he heard this, but it quickly disappeared and he regained his resolve. He was about to say something when he suddenly saw the Treadmill bear’s huge body suddenly stood up from behind the bushes, then looked down at the mountain tiger that was being attacked, then used the cover of the bushes to run towards the back of the mountain.

Su Baozhang’s expression became excited, and said: “This is our chance, that giant bear is about to leave. Once Zhang Yueming and the rest of us are injured by it, it will be our chance!”

Yang Junshan’s gaze followed the Treadmill bear’s huge body as it moved. It wasn’t until the giant bear quietly left the mountain slope that he turned his gaze back to the big battle at the bottom of the mountain.

Zhang Yueming wanted to say something, but he was already too late. The young man fell to the ground, and before he could even scream out loud, his neck was bitten off by the mountain tiger.

Dead! The companion who was laughing and talking with him just now died just like that!

This strong impact caused all of the youths to temporarily forget about the danger around them. They watched as their companion was torn apart by the mountain tiger intattered corpse, dumbfounded like a wooden chicken!

“Quick, surround it! It’s dying, we have to avenge the Chen family!”

Zhang Yueming’s loud roar woke up all the dumbstruck youths. For a moment, the six headed youth heard Zhang Yueming’s loud shout, and it was as if he had found his main pillar. In his muddled state, he actually followed Zhang Yueming’s command and started to try to attack the heavily injured Steadfast Tiger.

Zhang Yueming was very decisive at the moment. If everyone were to run away now, who knew how many people would die if they were to be hunted down by the Ouroboros Clan? It would be better to fight a battle with the heavily injured Mountain Tiger, maybe there would be less people who would die, and as long as the mountain guarding cultivators were able to make it to Heaven-Shaken Sect, the Mountain Tiger would fall into his hands.

As he thought about it, Zhang Yueming had already shattered a teleportation talisman in his hand, and at the same time shouted out: “The Body Protection Talisman can at least block one of the Mountain Tiger’s attacks!”

As if they had awakened from a dream, a few anxious youths tore apart the magical talismans they gave when they entered the mountain. Layers of faint protective light rose up and protected the remaining youths.

However, one of the youths was a step too late. The moment he took out the talisman, the mountain tiger had already pounced on him. The youth let out a loud cry and turned around to run away.

Zhang Yueming warned with a loud shout, at the same time, he pulled out the green light symbol sword from his waist and jumped behind Mountain Tiger to stab!

A ray of emerald green sword aura was ignited by the spirit energy in Zhang Yueming’s body, and it surged out from the sword blade, entering directly into the back of the Mountain Tiger, who was pushed down by a huge force and rolled onto the ground.

But it was too late for Zhang Yueming’s attack. Just when he was about to be hit and rolled around by the jade sword, the youth who was running in front of him suddenly dropped to the ground. With a slap, half of his face was cut, and he looked like he was about to die.

Zhang Yueming roared, and once again injected the energy that had accumulated in his body into the sigil sword, causing a ray of sword light to fly out once again. Unexpectedly, the Mountain Tiger was extremely agile this time, and dodged the flying dagger with its injured body.

“Everyone, quickly go. Don’t run away from this mountain tiger and avenge the Chen family’s Wang and Mao Bing!”

All of the youths once again rushed forward to surround the heavily injured Mountain Tiger, but when they got near, they unknowingly slowed their steps. The Mountain Tiger took advantage of this opportunity and escaped into the forest before Zhang Yueming could activate the Glowing Jade Symbol Sword in his hand for the third time.

All of the youths present were intimidated by the ferocity of the mountain tiger. They stood in front of the forest and did not move a step forward, clearly at a loss of what to do.

Zhang Yueming’s eyes revealed a trace of unwillingness, but after looking at the corpse of the other purple striated pig, he still said: “That mountain tiger has already been severely injured by my Fire Bird Talisman, it definitely won’t be able to run far, if we chase it now, it would actually provoke us to fight with our lives on the line. We will first take care of the purple striated pig, then go chase the mountain tiger, when that time comes, the big cat will also be exhausted, so we can definitely catch it!”

When the youths heard this, they immediately let out a sigh of relief and said, “Exactly, Brother Yue Ming is right!”

“We will follow Brother Yue Ming’s lead!”

“Brother Ming will definitely get two high-grade immortal spirits this time!”

… ….

A piece of the purple striated pig’s skin was slowly sliced off. Even though there were a few cracks on it, the spirit energy contained within the cloud patterns still made the Purple Cloud Skin look like it was overflowing with color.

Su Baozhang swallowed his saliva, and said softly: “Brother Jun Shan, do we need to think of a way to steal this piece of Purple Cloud Skin?”

Yang Junshan squinted his eyes, but suddenly said: “No!”

“Then we’re going to chase after the mountain tiger?” Su Baozhang was a little worried: “But the direction that Mountain Tiger is escaping to is in the forest located diagonally opposite of us. If we go there to chase, we will definitely be discovered by Zhang Yueming and the rest!”

Yang Junshan smiled and said: “Let’s go chase that Treadmill bear!”
