The [Dragon-Slicing Flash] was unquestionably a rank-10 weapon; it cleaved through the tiger’s hide effortlessly, sinking deep into its muscle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The tiger roared in pain; the earlier explosion had slowed its movements, and its mind was still dazed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the tiger prepared to counterattack, Su Xiao sidestepped, positioning himself precisely to the tiger’s left—the blind spot behind its blind eye.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two massive paws, the size of millstones, lashed forward repeatedly; the claws glinted with metallic sheen—if Su Xiao were caught, he’d pay a terrible price. Yet the tiger failed to land a single hit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seizing the opportunity, Su Xiao surged forward, gripping the hilt with both hands and slashing again at the tiger’s paw.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He chose to strike the paw out of necessity—the tiger stood at least four meters tall; attacking vital areas like its throat or head was extremely difficult.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With those claws threatening him, Su Xiao dared not rashly target the tiger’s vital points.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But it didn’t matter—the deadline for the side quest was still hours away, and Su Xiao had time; the tiger did not.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only a short while into the fight, the ground around them was already soaked in blood; in no time, the tiger would collapse from blood loss, leaving it helpless before him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The tiger realized this too; its single eye glared with hatred at Su Xiao, and it began to consider retreating.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beasts are like this—when conditions turn dire, most will flee, unless they have cubs to protect behind them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeking advantage and avoiding harm is not merely human instinct; beasts share it too, especially this giant tiger, which possessed high intelligence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The tiger panted heavily, its claws sunk deep into the soil, ready to bolt at any moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The battle had reached this point—how could Su Xiao let the tiger escape? He’d spent precious time setting up the trap.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the tiger showed signs of retreat, Su Xiao’s [Dragon-Slicing Flash] struck repeatedly, leaving several gory slashes across the tiger’s body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the tiger’s health bar at only 8%, it was certain—the tiger would die.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the Cycle Park, there was no mechanic where a creature would go berserk below 10% health; below 10%, all life forms grew extremely weak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not even berserk—now the tiger could barely run, its attacks were chaotic, and all it wanted was to flee.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the sixth attempt to escape, Su Xiao drove his long blade into the tiger’s hind leg, then gripped the hilt with both hands and yanked outward violently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sound of the blade cutting through muscle was distinct; Su Xiao, gripping the hilt tightly, clearly felt the slight vibration transmitted through the blade as the muscle tore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The tiger let out a mournful howl—a deep wound opened on its hind leg; before the blood fully flooded it, Su Xiao saw a severed tendon inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the tendon cut, the tiger had lost all chance of escape—it was dead today.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps the tiger realized this too; it changed its demeanor, facing Su Xiao and emitting threatening roars.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xiao stood before the giant tiger, his bare upper body stained with vast amounts of tiger blood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The slick, warm sensation of the blood stirred Su Xiao’s ferocity, making him appear exceptionally brutal at this moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Standing before the beast as large as a house, Su Xiao smiled—a strangely gentle smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The “Lord of Ke’erbo Mountain” had ruled Ke’erbo Mountain for years, never fearing any creature.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now, at this moment, the giant beast feared Su Xiao—because this smiling human might take its life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Roar~!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A roar tinged with anger and fear echoed across the entire Ke’erbo Mountain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xiao darted toward the tiger with agile steps, constantly shifting his position.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The tiger lowered its body—it was preparing to fight to the death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One massive paw, carrying the stench of blood, slashed toward Su Xiao’s face—fast and sudden; the giant tiger had concealed its speed until this dying moment, aiming for a fatal strike.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If struck by this claw, even if Su Xiao survived, he’d have no choice but to flee.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xiao seemed to hold the advantage, but he did not—he was vastly outmatched in strength; even after a dozen slashes, the tiger’s health bar had dropped by only about 1%, insignificant—this 1% already accounted for the tiger’s rapid blood loss.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But if he were hit by even one of the tiger’s claws, the battle would end.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The fatal claw was already upon him—yet Su Xiao maintained his forward momentum, deliberately charging into it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just before the claw struck, he spread his legs, dropped into a kneeling stance, lowered his center of gravity, and leaned his entire body backward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The claw, thick with the stench of blood, skimmed past Su Xiao’s nose; the strong wind lifted his stray hairs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His knees kicked up fallen leaves; Su Xiao narrowly avoided the claw.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Slapping the ground with one hand, he leapt upward like a fish—now he was directly beneath the tiger’s head, its vulnerable throat exposed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xiao had no intention of mercy—he slashed straight down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A torrent of blood gushed forth; Su Xiao was drenched in blood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Su Xiao fought for his life with the tiger, a slender figure hid among a thicket far away—by its size, it was a child.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So… so strong.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The thicket rustled; the child’s head peeked out, a grass hat atop its head, still bearing a few green leaves.\u003C\u002Fp>",1232,"2026-06-19T23:49:42.795Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","415ddf0f396b5f03451848c75c80fe41c710e16c76acd0da078a6fd088872a14","paradise-of-reincarnation-chapter-15","paradise-of-reincarnation-chapter-13",1000,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fparadise-of-reincarnation-cover.jpg"]
