Chapter 107: Intense fight at night
'But finding that kind of panther is quite complicated... I don't know if there will be any similar ones around here.' Tang Yin thought with a small sigh.
About 6 hours passed like this until the lady had finished.
'Tenth Level of Spirit Master Realm... Not bad, although she didn't manage to skip this Realm, her foundation is quite firm despite being a support type cultivator.' Tang Yin thought with a smile, and the young lady then stood up and looked at him.
She didn't say anything. She immediately bowed to Tang Yin and thanked him.
"Thank you very much, Young Master. I really don't know what I would do if you hadn't helped me get my Spiritual Bone." She spoke.
Tang Yin smiled and nodded at her.
"It's okay, you can get up. Helping a person who has such a good Spirit Weapon is more of a benefit. Now you will have to help me get my Second Spiritual Bone, okay?" Tang Yin said with a smile, and she quickly nodded after getting up.
"Of course, Young Master. My name is Su Lian, I come from a small third-level empire and I want to enter the Red Thunder Sect." She said as she introduced herself.
Tang Yin nodded.
"Nice to meet you, Miss Su. My name is Tang Yin, and I aspire to enter the Red Thunder Sect, I come from the southern region." Tang Yin said calmly, surprising her.
"From the southern region? I've only heard rumors of that... They say it's far away." She said in amazement, and Tang Yin smiled at her.
"Let's get moving, the spirit beast I want is complicated to find." He said as he started walking and she nodded to him, then they both started searching through the spiritual forest.
During that time, they both got to know each other a little. She told him more about herself and her abilities so they could coordinate better, and Tang Yin did the same.
Although he would not be using his heavenly hammer to fight, he would just show his spirit bone, if necessary, as if it were part of his sword.
The cultivation techniques he had been practicing were more than enough for now.
Thus, the hours passed, and that day passed...
Then the next day, being the fifth day since Tang Yin had left the sect...
The two of them had walked the grounds of the 1,500 to 5,000-year-old beasts for quite some time and saw several good beasts, but none worthy of Tang Yin's attention.
'How troublesome...' Tang Yin thought with a frown.
'Will I have to get a normal beast? I'm short on time, after all. I must reach the third realm before the tests and there aren't many days left...' He thought but continued his search.
And the sixth passed...
On the seventh day.
"Tsk, how annoying." Tang Yin said at that time, and Su Lian smiled.
"The beast you want is very hard to find." She spoke.
She hadn't even heard about those beasts he wanted to find.
Still, Tang Yin didn't want to give up.
So, he continued to search throughout that day.
That same day at night, they were both looking for a cave to rest in, when Tang Yin felt a strong presence appear beside him which alarmed him, and he immediately jumped to the opposite side from where he felt it while taking Su Lian with him in his leap.
Su Lian was startled by this action he took, but she soon felt danger girding over them, and Tang Yin then opened his eyes wide.
'Shit, it was a feint!' he shouted in his mind and immediately took out one of his spirit tokens and threw it towards where he felt the presence again, as he gave the spirit token a strong blow causing the spiritual energy contained in it to forcefully rush out towards that place, being propelled by him own.
Tang Yin then took advantage of this moment to draw his sword and get up from the ground where he had fallen, helping Su Lian in the process.
He immediately became alert.
"Miss Su, prepare the buffs. I think we're being hunted by one of the most troublesome beasts." Tang Yin said.
*BOOOM*
Just then, an explosion occurred as the token's spiritual energy hit one of the nearby trees hard and then disappeared.
Tang Yin frowned again.
Su Lian of course summoned her spirit weapon as soon as she heard what Tang Yin said.
"I'll take you to a safe place where you can throw your buffs at me. Don't show yourself, if you do you might die. This beast is troublesome." Tang Yin said, but just as he finished speaking, he had to bend his body backward as the presence approached him from the side and tried to hit him with its claw.
Just then, in the darkness of the night, Tang Yin saw a pair of red eyes pass in front of him as the spiritual energy contained in the beast's claw slammed him backward.
'Midnight Killer Panther.' He thought in shock and was pushed backward hard, but Tang Yin used this push to pull Su Lian and turn around as he hoisted her onto his shoulder.
He quickly ran with her in his arm, and hid behind a tree, but soon that tree was destroyed by the claws of the beast, so Tang Yin jumped to the other side while putting away his sword and quickly drew his spear and bent his body in the air to throw it forcefully towards where he felt the presence.
Then, he quickly gathered spiritual energy in his feet and jumped hard towards a nearby tree that showed its branches thanks to the moonlight.
As soon as he stood on the tree he jumped back to another tree and then to another and another, he always kept the spirit beast in his sight in every jump he made, so when he realized that the beast was preparing an attack and threw it towards the next tree where he was going to jump, Tang Yin stopped, and jumped back from the tree where he was currently standing and down to Su Lian, who was almost dying of fright.
"Miss Su, I'll leave you here. I'll make a feint so the panther won't notice you, don't expose yourself, if you do, you'll die." Tang Yin said and then immediately jumped down firmly as he drew his sword and swung it swiftly in the direction of the killer panther, sending a strong spiritual energy attack toward this beast.
After falling to the ground, Tang Yin ran hard to the right, and the killer panther instantly marked him, so he quickly ran towards him.
Tang Yin smiled.
'Shit, fighting a midnight killer panther, at this hour is not a wise thing to do, but this bastard wants to kill me, does he really think I'm a soft khaki?' Tang Yin thought with a smile as he watched the silhouette move.
It's a deep black panther, so it can camouflage itself in the night, and that's why these panthers are one of the best killer beasts in the spiritual forests.
How could it be easy to assassinate it? Tang Yin knew, but even so, he also knew its attribute.
'You come to give yourself away in the middle of the night, there's nothing else to do but to welcome you, little panther.' Tang Yin thought with a smile and immediately bent his body to face the black panther head-on.
He immediately pounced on this panther and swung his sword hard to hit it hard, but it quickly swung its front paw trying to cut Tang Yin in half.
