Chapter 54: Torturing It to Death, Stay Safe And Sound Forever

“How are you, Chen Yong?” asked Division Commander Li with a tinge of lingering fear in his voice.

Chen Yong and the little girl in his arms were both watching the ongoing events in the school.

It was as if Division Commander Li’s question had brought Chen Yong back to reality with a start. Upon his question, Chen Yong shook his head and coughed up a mouthful of blood.

“I’m fine.”

Division Commander Li didn’t have the time to say much else either. With a wave, he summoned a military doctor forward to treat Chen Yong’s injuries there and then. Meanwhile, with his eyes on the school, he asked gravely, “What do you think of the situation, Chen Yong?”

By then, Chen Yong had already handed the little girl over to a female soldier. While undergoing treatment, he replied quickly and clearly, “That b*stard is extremely and terrifyingly strong. Everyone has also seen what his defenses are like. At my current level, I can’t break through his defenses at all. Its physical strength is even more terrifying.

“Also, I feel that speed is actually its forte. It’s just that it’s too big physically, and coupled with the terrain and the fact that it wanted to catch me, it didn’t get to bring out its full speed.

“Generally speaking, there’s probably no one among everyone that I know who can last more than a few blows in a one-on-one head-on fight with it.

“As for the Tiger King, I’m not sure. However, I can sense that I won’t be able to retaliate at all if he wishes to kill me. His speed in that instant was simply too fast!

“I can’t be sure what will happen when the two of them fight—cough, cough, cough!”

Division Commander Li nodded silently. Then, without any hesitation, he quickly ordered, “Coordinate with the Tiger King according to the situation and render timely a.s.sistance. We mustn’t let that b*stard go near the school buildings anymore.

“Also, that b*stard can fly, so keep the weapons aimed at the sky. If it takes off into the air, blast it down.”

“Understood!”

Rows of weapons both near and far fully exposed their pitch-black muzzles.

Behind the weapons, several soldiers watched the school nervously.

In front of the extra-large cell phone, it was a rare occasion where Di Baijun didn’t even realize that a sense of nervousness had already started surging within her.

Her unblinking eyes stared hard at the screen.

Similarly, at her feet, the two little fellows’ eyes also widened, big and round.

In the school, it was as though a mountain and a hill were having a staredown. Neither of them acted rashly, and it seemed like neither were feeling anxiety either.

After sizing up the b*stard in detail, w.a.n.g Hu fully finalized his tactical strategy.

He didn’t delay any further. He stepped forward with a calm and composed air, his footsteps domineering yet also light and deft. His killing intent was the only thing surging fiercer and fiercer.

His movement immediately attracted the attention of millions of people.

A look of joy surfaced in the monster’s eyes. That tiger possessed tremendous speed. It hadn’t forgotten about the situation just now. That was why it hadn’t made any rash movements.

Little did it expect that the other party would actually take the initiative to attack. That made things a lot easier.

It stood still where it was, filling all four limbs with power so that it could spring into action with the strongest burst of power anytime.

w.a.n.g Hu took a few unhurried steps forward. Then, with a single thought, he activated Extreme Agility Time’s second stage. Suddenly, it was as if w.a.n.g Hu had transformed into a streak of light that shot straight toward the monster.

His movements dazzled everyone’s sight, and he vanished before anyone—including the monster—couldn’t get a clear look.

However, the monster was ultimately a very strong one. Plus, given the distance between the two, it still ended up managing to react before w.a.n.g Hu got near it.

Its huge, savage-looking jaws opened and snapped at w.a.n.g Hu.

In the blink of an eye, w.a.n.g Hu was already only over a meter away from those huge jaws. They would be able to clamp down on him the next moment.

The look in his eyes didn’t change. They were as cold as ever as if he hadn’t realized the peril he was in.

Then, in a split-second, his hill-like form became so agile and nimble that it was as though he had shaken off the shackles of s.p.a.ce and gravity. He leaped a little higher again in midair and his front paw calmly and easily smacked against the savage-looking head. At the same time, his razor-sharp claws also sprung out and slashed across it.

Roar~!

A shrill roar of pain exploded into the surroundings. However, w.a.n.g Hu had already gone behind it. He bit down viciously at the base of one of its wings and refused to let go.

It was only when he had finished doing all these and his extreme speed came to a stop that everyone got a good look at what had happened.

The beast seemed to have already gone mad. One of its two huge eyes was crushed, and its wild, berserk roars of pain sounded as though they had come right out of h.e.l.l itself.

It swung its enormous body and grabbed at w.a.n.g Hu—who was still stubbornly biting the base of one of its wings—with one of its front limbs, seemingly wanting to rip him apart at the same time as it yanked him off itself.

Joy and alarm filled innumerable people.

Their joy stemmed from how the Northern Tiger King had already gained such a huge advantage over the other party before they even saw what had happened… while their alarm came from being worried that the Tiger King would injure himself at this point.

Fortunately, those razor-sharp claws didn’t slash through the Tiger King’s fur at all, and he stayed unscathed no matter how berserk the beast became.

The tense and hopeful atmosphere intensified further.

Division Commander Li promptly ordered, “Rescue the people in the school.”

There was no fluctuation of emotions in w.a.n.g Hu’s eyes at all, and he allowed the other party to slash at him with its claws all it wanted. In fact, he even made use of its strength to tug and tear at its wing.

After a few seconds of deadlock—as if it knew that it wouldn’t do to continue like this, the monster crouched down to roll about.

w.a.n.g Hu let go at once and flung himself a dozen meters or so into the distance by borrowing the other party’s strength. He calmly adjusted his position in midair and landed on the ground in a manner that looked neither pathetic nor awkward howsoever.

His 120-ton body didn’t even make much of a sound upon landing. The sight impressed all the spectators and filled them with a sense of idolization.

Roar~!

The monster got up and charged straight toward w.a.n.g Hu as if it had gone berserk.

w.a.n.g Hu secretly sneered at the sight—this just so happened to be the kind of fight he liked the most right now.

Things would have been bad for him if the other party had managed to press him down onto the ground just now. After all, there was a limit to the amount of Blood Qi and stamina he had. His Tiger King Body might boast strong defenses, but it also took a huge toll on him.

However, that b.a.s.t.a.r.d was just courting death now.

His form was as quick as lightning. No one could clearly catch sight of him at all. He took the initiative to charge over.

When he was about to reach the other, the monster grabbed at him with its two front limbs. With a flash of a golden afterimage…

Roar~!

A shrill scream that sounded even more painful than before rang out. The monster held its head as it retreated several steps—its other eye had also been taken out.

Innumerable people, who only belatedly saw and realized what had happened, were thrilled at once… because all of them could tell—the Northern Tiger King had won!

Dong Pingtao and Chen Jianguo truly heaved a sigh of relief. The case was more or less closed now.

A smile appeared on Division Commander Li’s face.

With both your eyes out of commission and even your wing injured… d*mn it, if you can still freaking run after that, I’m going to just kill myself to atone for my sins.

Di Baijun’s tension receded like the tide as if it had never once been there. As she watched closely the jerk that was still giving off a composed and domineering air around him…

…fury welled up in her again.

You jerk! I’ll make you suffer someday!

w.a.n.g Hu continued to advance in what looked like an incredibly domineering and composed gait to the others and walked toward the monster that had already gone berserk and was currently constantly retreating.

He didn’t feel much joy at the outcome—the two parties’ strength was unequal right from the start.

The b*stard was doomed to die the moment it didn’t fly into the air right away.

Although he was far beneath the monster in terms of cultivation realm, he was too fast for it—and better in various aspects, too. On top of that, he didn’t fear its attacks.

He had relied on Tiger King Body and Extreme Agility Time’s combined efforts and injured its wing right at the start.

Now, it would have to ask him and see if he was willing to give it a chance if it wanted to fly.

With a flash, w.a.n.g Hu soundlessly arrived in front of the berserk monster. He easily evaded its flailing front limbs and pierced his sharp claws right into its face.

He immediately retreated upon making contact with it, leaving behind a few b.l.o.o.d.y holes. No matter how it flailed and madly waved its front limbs, it simply didn’t touch anything.

Roar~!

Its berserk yet fearful voice echoed very, very far into the distance. w.a.n.g Hu didn’t pause; he continued to go near it like a flash of lightning, casually avoiding its front limbs and piercing it with his sharp claws again.

This time, his claws landed on the left front limb’s joint.

In the next few minutes, what came to everyone’s sights were several afterimages that circled around the berserk beast.

Screams rang out every once in a while. The beast wildly flailed its wings, front limbs, and torso constantly; but all the way from the start to the end, it simply couldn’t get away from the afterimages at all—even just a bit.

The sight was extremely terrifying, like that of a ghost flitting about.

However, at the moment, there was only a sense of delight and satisfaction in almost everyone that was watching. They watched the beast incredibly hatefully, wis.h.i.+ng they could also attack it themselves and vent their frustrations a little.

w.a.n.g Hu was also currently venting his frustrations.

He indulged himself this one time, pouring out all his unhappiness onto the excellent live target.

It was as if his claws had transformed into daggers. They pierced the monster’s body again and again, leaving behind several b.l.o.o.d.y holes.

In no time, the beast was drenched in its own blood that had formed a puddle underneath it.

At the same time, w.a.n.g Hu also sensed that his skill at using Blood Qi had improved further during this short duration.

There was only one reason behind this—battle. A real battle of life and death.

Perhaps it was instinct or perhaps compulsion, but during that short battle of life and death, his Blood Qi had circulated at an even faster speed, and he had managed to use it in an even cleverer and more skillful way. This had given him even greater strength and even faster speed.

Once again, he was sure—as expected, he could become stronger by battling.

All of a tiger’s natural gifts made them a natural battle machine from the start.

If they didn’t battle, even they would become rusty and sluggish, despite being battle machines.

One must say that he had already somewhat fallen in love with that feeling.

For the first time, he understood why Silly Girl was so compet.i.tive and so full of battle l.u.s.t.

Apart from her personality, there were indeed also other reasons for it.

Another few minutes later, when w.a.n.g Hu had vented enough and stopped his attacks, the beast in front of him was already lying there with its body riddled with b.l.o.o.d.y holes.

Even with its powerful vitality, it was already lying there barely breathing and without any strength to resist by now.

After taking a long look at the pathetic state of the school, w.a.n.g Hu leaped forward, turning into a golden streak of light that raced into the distance in the twinkling of an eye.

It was only then that Division Commander Li and the others snapped back to reality with a start.

“Tiger King!”

Division Commander Li shut his mouth after he subconsciously shouted after w.a.n.g Hu. Then, he faced the north and saluted solemnly.

Every one of the many soldiers and lucky survivors beside him also did the same.

Full of reluctance, the little girl being held by a female soldier also reached out her little arm in that direction.

Online, the feelings of hatred temporarily mellowed a little, and line after line of the same four words dominated the entire screen.

“Thank you, Tiger King.”

…

w.a.n.g Hu wasn’t in any mood to think of anything else at all at the moment. There was only one thought on his mind—go back home, back to where Silly Girl and the children were.

When he saw the school that had turned into utter wreckage, that thought became the only thing remaining in his mind.

Everything else—like joy, satisfaction, and whatnot—didn’t exist at all.

Before long, everything he was familiar with appeared before his eyes.

The look in w.a.n.g Hu’s eyes relaxed a little, and he ran straight to Silly Girl and the children.

Awooo~! Awooo~!

“Daddy! It’s Daddy! Daddy’s back!”

The two little fellows happily pounced toward him first. w.a.n.g Hu lowered his head and nuzzled them.

Then, he took a step forward and gazed at Silly Girl gently and determinedly before letting out a soft roar.

Roar~!

“I’m back, Baijun.”

Di Baijun blanked out for a moment there. For some reason, all the dissatisfaction that she’d gathered a long time ago stalled somewhat.

She avoided his gaze for a moment before she adjusted her emotions and raised her chin again. Just as she was about to continue glaring at the jerk, his voice rang out again.

Roar~!

“Promise me this, Baijun. We’ll both cultivate properly and protect Big Treasure and Little Treasure well so that they’ll always be safe and sound and kept out of harm’s way from outsiders. Alright?”
