Chapter 132: Blood War with the White Tiger

After storing Shi Yuan into the Storage Ring, Ye Liuyun and Lei Ming finished clearing the battlefield and rushed straight toward the next target.

Along the way they swept through three more treasure caches, obtaining a water‑type Monster Beast core, a Heaven Tier‑grade exquisite long sword, and a super Heaven Tier copper cauldron fragment.

Ye Liuyun sensed the fragment's power and was full of awe. Though merely a fragment, tossed aside it could still fend off a strike from a Nascent Soul‑realm strongman.

No wonder the academy is exerting great effort to locate super Heaven Tier weapon fragments.

They also slayed many monster beasts along the way, letting Lei Ming absorb the core's power to boost her cultivation.

These past days Ye Liuyun has been killing with relish, letting his bloodline and various forces flow without restriction. He's even wielded the Soul Sword several times, and now he's begun tempering that Soul Sword with Golden Crow Holy Fire.

He also tamed a half‑step Sea Transformation fire wolf as a mount. Ye Liuyun estimates that once outside, the fire wolf must be at a later stage of the Sea Transformation realm.

These monster beasts have been suppressed here for too long; once released they must break through continuously.

That day, after Ye Liuyun and Lei Ming slayed a monster beast, they sensed a strong battle ripple nearby, apparently the Xuemo Sect besieging a formidable monster beast.

It happened to be close to the next treasure site, so Ye Liuyun and the others hurried over to join the fray.

Only to see more than three hundred Xuemo Sect disciples besieging a Bai Hu. That Bai Hu becomes more vigorous as it kills, and the ground is already covered with bodies.

The leading few Xuemo Sect disciples of True Essence Ninth Layer Summit wore displeased expressions. With so many, they still couldn't take down a single beast!

"That Bai Hu is an ancient monster beast, a pure‑blood Bai Hu! These people are in for trouble! The Bai Hu thrives on killing; these folks may not be enough for it to slay!" Lei Ming explained to Ye Liuyun.

Ye Liuyun kept his distance, watching from afar.

The Bai Hu bore many wounds; its white fur was stained blood‑red, yet its ferocity remained undiminished as it continuously slaughtered the Xuemo Sect disciples.

A Xuemo Sect disciple of True Essence Ninth Layer Summit suddenly spotted Ye Liuyun and the fire wolf he sat upon, and shouted, "Kid, hurry up and bring your fire wolf into the fight!"

Unexpectedly, Ye Liuyun remained unmoved, as if he hadn't heard.

"Are you deaf?!" the man roared, lunging toward Ye Liuyun.

"Lei Ming, it's yours!" Ye Liuyun said coolly, looking at the man.

"Fine!" Lei Ming replied, then leapt forward, manifesting her true form in the air.

"Roar!"

Accompanied by Lei Ming's beastly roar, she slapped the disciple to the ground, then lifted him and tossed him to the fire wolf. The fire wolf, carrying Ye Liuyun, vaulted into the air, clamped its jaws on the disciple's waist, bisecting him and swallowing him whole.

Ye Liuyun tried to avoid the gruesome scene, instead watching the distant battle.

But the fight was interrupted by Lei Ming's thunderous shout; both sides fell back a bit, eyeing Ye Liuyun's party warily.

"Whose disciple are you? To slaughter your own sect while fighting external foes!" a True Essence Ninth Layer Summit disciple demanded.

"Kill him!" Ye Liuyun communicated to Lei Ming via Divine Sense.

Lei Ming let out another roar, lunged forward, and slapped down. This time she applied a bit more force, turning him into a meat patty.

She flicked her claw disdainfully, tossing a heap of rotten flesh to the fire wolf.

With that, none of the Xuemo Sect disciples dared to rebuke Ye Liuyun any longer, all staring at him with fearful eyes.

Unable to watch the fire wolf eat in front of him, Ye Liuyun leapt onto a branch to observe the Bai Hu.

The Bai Hu truly is warlike. Even though it's riddled with wounds, upon seeing Lei Long it still shows battle intent, caring not whether foe or friend.

"Can you beat the Bai Hu?" Ye Liuyun asked Lei Ming quietly.

"Can't! Unless it takes heavier wounds, or my True Essence becomes stronger," Lei Ming gauged both sides' strength and concluded.

Ye Liuyun nodded, then released Shi Yuan as well.

"Lei Ming, you take Shi Yuan and the fire wolf to clear the field; I'll fight the Bai Hu. Let's have a private showdown!"

"Fine!" Lei Ming agreed, charging toward the Xuemo Sect disciples with Shi Yuan and the fire wolf. Meanwhile, Ye Liuyun rushed at the Bai Hu.

The Bai Hu had been staring at Lei Ming; when it saw Ye Liuyun charge, it paid little heed. It certainly didn't regard a True Essence Seventh Layer opponent…

Ye Liuyun didn't immediately use a killing technique; instead he relied on his Physical Body's force to batter the Bai Hu.

With a "Bang!" punch, he knocked the Bai Hu off balance.

Only then did the Bai Hu look him straight in the eyes.

The Xuemo Sect disciples were bewildered, wondering which side this person was actually fighting.

"He wants to eat both sides! Stop staring, deal with those beasts!" someone shouted, making the others understand.

But these people couldn't even handle a single Bai Hu; now facing three half‑step Sea Transformation monster beasts, they're even less of a match.

At this moment, Ye Liuyun, relying on his Physical Body, fought the Bai Hu fiercely; his clothes were already torn by the Bai Hu's claws, his body covered with bloodline wounds inflicted by the Bai Hu.

Both he and the Bai Hu unleashed all their Bloodline Pressure, clashing like drums.

The Bai Hu now stared directly at Ye Liuyun. Though Ye Liuyun's realm is low, the Bloodline Pressure he exudes gives the Bai Hu a vague sense of oppression.

Moreover, it grew increasingly alarmed, realizing Ye Liuyun uses no True Essence at all, relying solely on his Physical Body to grapple it.

The Bai Hu, fearing it couldn't hold out long, let out a sudden roar.

Tiger's roar shakes the forest—its signature sound‑wave attack.

Then it spat three bolts of its innate Golden Light toward Ye Liuyun.

But it didn't expect its signature sound‑wave attack to be ineffective against Ye Liuyun, as all were absorbed by the Ten Thousand Gods Command.

And those three Golden Light bolts were blasted away by Ye Liuyun's thunder‑fire annihilation punch.

Moreover, Ye Liuyun's punch retained its force, striking the Bai Hu's head—the toughest part of its body.

The Bai Hu was knocked so hard it somersaulted away; when it got up, it staggered, clutching its head and howling twice—clearly a heavy blow.

When it regained consciousness and met Ye Liuyun's gaze, it showed more fear; the battle fervor in its eyes had waned considerably.

Yet its warlike nature, despite the setback, didn't make it retreat instantly. It merely became far more cautious, circling Ye Liuyun in search of an opening.

Ye Liuyun gave a faint smile, standing unmoving.

The Bai Hu slipped behind him; seeing he still stood still, it lunged forward and bit fiercely at Ye Liuyun's head.

As it saw Ye Liuyun's head in its jaws, it snapped shut, producing a "crack" sound—its own teeth clashing, missing the target.

Yet Ye Liuyun suddenly appeared before it, delivering another thunder‑fire annihilation punch.

"Boom" a massive roar.

Bai Hu this time was knocked straight into the air. Its massive body hit the ground with a "thud".

Ye Liuyun quickly kept up, raining punches and kicks on Bai Hu, beating Bai Hu until it wailed.

Until it had little strength to resist, Ye Liuyun then used Illusion Pupil, pulling its Soul into a violet lightning cage for a whipping. Then used Thunder‑Fire Burning Heaven to threaten its Soul.

Bai Hu this time trembled completely.

It had never met such a powerful human! Not only is its Physical Body strong, but its Soul is also strong!

In the Soul realm, Ye Liuyun tormented Bai Hu for several hours, constantly tempting it, taking it out, until it finally submitted.
