Chapter 14: The Beauty of a Fight (Edited)

A thick pillar of smoke rose into the sky. The weird smell of burning hair and gunpowder hung heavy in the air. Su Xiao frowned at the smell.

As his sight was blocked by smoke, he could not judge the exact position of the huge tiger.

“Hoooo!”

The sound of the angry tiger came from the thick smoke. At hearing this sound, Su Xiao focused his attention while loosening his muscles.

Because tense muscles will slow your reaction, they would be a fatal weakness during the fight.

He let the long sword in his hand casually hang down, with the sword’s tip resting against the ground.

The huge tiger did not show itself, it was hiding in the thick smoke, but Su Xiao could feel that it was already stalking him.

A strong wind suddenly blew from the forest, dispersing the smoke.

At that time, a huge, smoking figure became visible. It was that giant tiger.

The tiger that appeared in Su Xiao’s sight was drastically weakened. The long fur on its body was burnt, and patches of burned skin were visible.

Its huge body was seriously injured, with countless iron nails piercing his skin.

The most serious injury was its left eye, it was surrounded by iron nails, and black, red liquid flowed out.

After noticing the tiger’s injuries, Su Xiao smiled. Even though the tiger did not die, with this kind of injury, it would lose at least ninety percent of its fighting ability. Su Xiao’s trap had proven useful.

Humans were the most dangerous creature in nature, after all.

To this huge tiger, Su Xiao was not even as tall as its leg.

Still, for an unknown reason, Su Xiao’s heart started beating faster. Fighting against this kind of massive enemy was actually exciting him.

Without waiting for the giant tiger to attack, Su Xiao rushed forward, sending dead leaves flying. He arrived in front of the giant tiger in a few quick steps and slammed his long sword into one of the giant tiger’s front paws.

“puzzz”

Blood splashed wildly from the front paw of the giant tiger, with [dragon flash]’s rating of 10. It was surprisingly easy to cut the large tiger’s skin and muscles apart.

The huge tiger wailed in pain, still dizzy from the explosion and unable to react with its usual speed.

When the huge tiger was finally prepared to fight back, Su Xiao had already jumped aside into the direction of its injured eye. He directly entered the tiger’s blind spot.

The claws of the tiger were continuously scratching forward, shining in metallic luster.

Seeing an opportunity, Su Xiao’s hands clasped the handle of the sword firmly as he slashed at the tiger’s claw. Actually, he chose to attack the tiger’s claw because of the height difference. He had no way to actually directly attack its throat or head.

Because of those claws, Su Xiao did not dare to attack the important parts of the huge tiger imprudently.

But it was no big deal, he still had a few hours to finish the task, and the tiger’s odds of survival were slim.

The tiger was struggling. With how much blood is lost, it would collapse at any moment.

The huge tiger was aware of this as well. It stared at Su Xiao resentfully with its one good eye but wanted to flee at the same time.

Actually, most beasts will choose to run away when they are in such an extremely bad situation, except when they are protecting their offspring.

Escaping from danger was not only an instinct of humans but also of animals. Furthermore, this massive tiger was actually quite intelligent.

The huge tiger was panting heavily, and its claws were pressed into the ground, prepared to run away at any moment.

After coming this far, how could Su Xiao let this tiger run? He had already spent his precious time setting this trap.

When the huge tiger was attempting to leave, Su Xiao continued to slam his [Dragon flash] on its body, but only left a few marks.

Looking at the Hp bar on the tiger’s head, Su Xiao saw that only 8% were left.

Maybe if the enemy was someone who had access to the ‘Reincarnation Paradise,’ he would explode with power even with only 10% hp or lower left, but someone normal would be extremely weakened after reaching that state.

The tiger could not even move fast. Its attacks came scarcely. It only wanted to run away.

Su Xiao pierced his sword into the foreleg of the tiger.

The sound of the blade passing through the muscles was very special. Su Xiao clearly felt the slight vibration of the blade when the muscle was split through his grip.

The giant tiger wailed at the deep wound that appeared on its leg, and blood splashed from the wound. As he pulled out the sword, Su Xiao clearly saw that the bone on that leg was cleaved apart.

That meant that the huge tiger had already lost the opportunity to flee. It would definitely die that day.

Maybe the huge tiger was aware of this fact as well, as it roared at Su Xiao.

Su Xiao stood in front of the giant tiger. His shirtless upper body was dripping wet with the tiger’s blood.

The warm and smooth feeling of blood only made Su Xiao more violent.

Su Xiao smiled broadly and stood in front of the violent beast, which was as big as a house.

The tiger had been the ruler of Colubo Mountain for several years and had never been afraid of any creature.

But at this time, this huge beast was a bit afraid of Su Xiao because this human who was smiling may take away its life.

“Hoooo”

A yell of anger mixed with fear spread through Colubo Mountain.

Su Xiao rushed towards the giant tiger while changing his direction from time to time.

The huge tiger lowered his body and seemed to prepare to fight for its life with Su Xiao.

The tiger’s claws were like a hurricane moving toward Su Xiao. This giant tiger had actually hidden its full speed and only revealed it now. It seemed ready to take Su Xiao with it.

If Su Xiao were to be touched by this attack, even if he wouldn’t die, he would be severely injured.

Su Xiao carefully looked at the tiger as he stood in front of him. The difference in strength was too big.

If he had been directly attacked by the giant tiger, the fight would probably have ended with his loss.

Its attack came from the front, and Su Xiao didn’t choose to retreat. He chose to face the tiger.

Just as Su Xiao was about to be scratched to ribbons by the tiger’s claws, he fell to his knees and leaned his body backward to lower his height.

The tiger’s claw, which had a strong bloody smell, slid past Su Xiao’s nose, and the strong wind swept his hair. Even the leaves on the ground were lifted, but thanks to kneeling, Su Xiao managed to escape the tiger’s claws.

Su Xiao pressed off the ground with his hand and jumped up. He was now directly under the tiger’s head, the throat of a huge tiger clearly visible.

Su Xiao didn’t hesitate at all and swung his sword.

Blood splashed on his body.

Unnoticed, while Su Xiao was fighting with the huge tiger, there was a small and thin person hiding in the distance. Its silhouette looked like a child.

“Wow, so strong.”

The shrubs shook, the straw-hat-wearing child’s head peaked out of the shrubs while still being covered with green leaves.

    A thick pillar of smoke rose into the sky, and the weird smell of burning hair and gunpowder hung heavy in the air, causing Su Xiao to frown.

    As the smoke blocked his sight, he couldn't accurately determine the tiger's position.

    "Hoooo!"

    The angry roar of the tiger echoed from within the dense smoke. Hearing the sound, Su Xiao focused his attention and relaxed his muscles. Tense muscles would slow his reaction time and become a fatal weakness in battle.

    Casually letting his long sword hang down with the tip resting against the ground, Su Xiao prepared himself. The huge tiger remained hidden within the smoke, but he could sense it stalking him.

    Suddenly, a strong wind blew through the forest, dispersing the smoke and revealing the smoking figure of the giant tiger.

    The tiger's appearance was significantly weakened. Its long fur was burnt, and patches of burned skin were visible. Countless iron nails pierced its massive body, but the most severe injury was its left eye, surrounded by embedded iron nails, with black and red liquid oozing out.

    Upon noticing the tiger's injuries, Su Xiao smiled. Although the tiger hadn't died, such injuries would cause it to lose at least ninety percent of its fighting ability. His trap had proven effective.

    After all, humans were the most dangerous creatures in nature.

    Compared to this massive tiger, Su Xiao was not even as tall as its leg. Yet, for some unknown reason, his heart started beating faster. The prospect of fighting such a colossal enemy excited him.

    Without waiting for the giant tiger to make a move, Su Xiao rushed forward, sending dead leaves flying. In a few quick steps, he arrived in front of the tiger and forcefully slammed his long sword into one of its front paws.

    "Puzzz!"

    Blood splashed wildly from the tiger's front paw as the Dragon Flash sword, with a rating of 10, easily cut through its skin and muscles.

    The tiger howled in pain, still dizzy from the explosion and unable to react quickly.

    Before the tiger could retaliate, Su Xiao had already jumped aside, moving toward its injured eye. He entered the tiger's blind spot.

    The tiger's claws continuously swiped forward, gleaming with a metallic luster.

    Seizing the opportunity, Su Xiao firmly gripped the sword handle and struck at the tiger's claw. He chose to attack the claw due to the height difference, as he couldn't directly target its throat or head.

    Because of the tiger's sharp claws, Su Xiao didn't dare to recklessly attack its vital parts. However, it didn't matter much since he still had a few hours to complete the task, and the tiger's chances of survival were slim.

    The tiger struggled, losing a significant amount of blood. It was on the verge of collapse.

    Aware of its impending demise, the tiger stared resentfully at Su Xiao with its one remaining eye while also desiring to flee.

    When faced with such dire circumstances, most animals would choose to run away, except when protecting their offspring. Escaping from danger was not only an instinct of humans but also of animals, and this massive tiger was quite intelligent.

    Panting heavily, the tiger's claws dug into the ground, prepared to flee at any moment.

    After coming this far, Su Xiao couldn't allow the tiger to escape. He had already invested precious time in setting this trap.

    As the tiger attempted to flee, Su Xiao continued to strike it with his Dragon Flash sword, leaving marks but not causing fatal damage.

    Observing the HP bar above the tiger's head, Su Xiao saw that only 8% remained.

    While an opponent with access to "Reincarnation Paradise" might still explode with power even with only 10% or less HP, a normal person would be severely weakened in that state.

    The tiger could no longer move quickly, and its attacks were sparse. It only wanted to run away.

    Su Xiao thrust his sword into the tiger's foreleg.

    The sound of the blade passing through the muscles was distinct, and Su Xiao could feel the slight vibration through his grip as the muscle split.

    The giant tiger wailed in response to the deep wound on its leg, blood splashing out. As Su Xiao withdrew the sword, he saw that the bone in the leg had been cleaved apart.

    This meant that the tiger had lost any opportunity to flee. It would undoubtedly die that day.

    Perhaps the tiger was aware of its impending fate as it roared at Su Xiao.

    Su Xiao stood before the giant tiger, his shirtless upper body soaked in the tiger's blood.

    The warm and smooth sensation of blood only fueled Su Xiao's ferocity.

    He smiled broadly, facing the violent beast that stood as tall as a house.

    The tiger had ruled Colubo Mountain for several years and had never feared any creature. However, at this moment, the huge beast felt a slight fear toward Su Xiao, who stood there smiling, capable of taking its life.

    "Hoooo!"

    An angry roar mixed with fear reverberated through Colubo Mountain.

    Su Xiao charged toward the giant tiger, constantly changing his direction.

    The massive tiger crouched down, seemingly preparing to fight for its life against Su Xiao.

    Its claws were like a hurricane, slashing toward Su Xiao. The giant tiger had been hiding its full speed until now, ready to take Su Xiao down with it.

    If Su Xiao were to be hit by this attack, even if he didn't die, he would be severely injured.

    Su Xiao carefully observed the tiger as he stood in front of it, recognizing the significant difference in strength between them.

    If he had directly faced the giant tiger's attack, he would likely have been defeated.

    The attack came from the front, but Su Xiao didn't choose to retreat. Instead, he faced the tiger head-on.

    Just as the tiger's claws were about to shred Su Xiao, he fell to his knees and leaned backward, lowering his height.

    The tiger's claw, emanating a strong smell of blood, slid past Su Xiao's nose, and the strong wind tousled his hair. Even the leaves on the ground were lifted, but due to his kneeling position, Su Xiao managed to evade the tiger's claws.

    Using his hand to push off the ground, he jumped up and found himself directly under the tiger's head, the massive beast's throat clearly visible.

    Without hesitation, Su Xiao swung his sword.

    Blood splattered onto his body.

    Unnoticed by Su Xiao during his battle with the giant tiger, a small and thin figure hid in the distance. The silhouette resembled that of a child wearing a straw hat.

    "Wow, so strong," the child murmured while peeking out of the shrubs, their head still covered with green leaves.
