Chapter 346: Self-Exploding Tiger

Fell for a trap?

Yu Die first froze, then a moment later an indescribable sense of danger surged in her heart like a tide.

Just as she reacted in the nick of time, preparing to turn and flee, she was still a step too late—with a 'Bang!' like heaven and earth shattering, the explosion came from the tiger radiance that Yu Die had pierced with her sword, which suddenly self-destructed.

One wave after another of tremendous impact force directly shattered the barrier of condensed magical energy surrounding Yu Die.

The next moment.

Yu Die was flung backward!

Pfft!

Yu Die spat a mouthful of blood mist while airborne, then crashed heavily to the ground and rolled several times.

You little vixen do have some skill—you made me destroy a puppet!

An angry voice rang out, and immediately a ferocious tiger leapt from the darkness, huge as a giant beast, opening its bloody maw and gulping Yu Die down in one bite.

Oh no!

In the distance, in an inconspicuous patch of grass, Wang Ping'an saw a ferocious tiger suddenly appear beside Yu Die; his face changed drastically as he saw it open its bloody maw, preparing to swallow her whole. He hurried to act and rescue Yu Die, but was still a step too late.

Because.

He furtively followed behind Yu Die, worried she would notice his tailing; not only did he fail to help her at the critical moment, but he also ended up affecting her combat state.

So.

Wang Ping'an, being cautious, stayed far away from Yu Die.

At this moment.

Wang Ping'an had just summoned his Sword Apparatus, ready to act, but he was still a step too late, only able to watch helplessly as the tiger radiance gulped Yu Die down in one bite.

How could this happen?

Wang Ping'an's heart was filled with self-reproach.

He hated himself for being overly cautious, staying too far from Yu Die, to the point that he had no time to rescue her.

He also hated himself for being careless, looking down on everyone.

He had intended to be Yu Die's last line of defense, yet when she encountered danger, he hadn't even reacted before seeing her swallowed whole by the tiger radiance.

Mainly, it was because he was too careless; just now, seeing the life-and-death battle between Yu Die and the tiger radiance, Yu Die completely had the upper hand—he didn't even have the strength to fight back, let alone defend himself.

Danger lurked at every turn.

If the tiger radiance were even slightly careless, it would suffer a fatal blow from Yu Die and lose its life.

Seeing this, he didn't even consider the tiger radiance a threat, never imagining it would self-destruct—the power of that self-destruction was more terrifying than a top-tier spell.

Even Yu Die suffered heavy injuries!

I will avenge her!

Wang Ping'an suppressed his inner self-reproach, gripped his Sword Apparatus, and was about to strike before the tiger radiance finished digesting, when he suddenly noticed something abnormal about it.

He saw:

Faint energy was gathering in the tiger radiance's abdomen!

Wang Ping'an hastily used the Dharma Eye, stared intently, his pupils constricted sharply, and exclaimed in shock: "This, this, this is?"

He discovered that the energy suddenly erupting from the tiger radiance's abdomen was wave after wave of tremendous Sword Qi, which he knew very well—it was the unique Sword Qi belonging to Yu Die.

Before.

He had just fought Yu Die, suffering plenty at her hands—how could it not belong to her exclusive Sword Qi?

Not dead, she isn't dead?

Wang Ping'an exclaimed in surprise, barely able to hide his delight, musing: "After all, he is a Captain of the Demon Suppression Office; even if relying on background, he should at least have corresponding strength."

Otherwise, no matter how stellar his background, it would be impossible for him to easily become a Captain of the Demon Suppression Office, let alone be so effortlessly devoured by an ordinary tiger demon.

Having confirmed Yu Die was unharmed by the tiger radiance's earlier self-destruction, and now having been swallowed into its belly, she might have sustained some injuries but likely hadn't lost her life.

Wang Ping'an also let out a sigh of relief.

Afterward.

Wang Ping'an no longer acted rashly; instead, he raised his head and curiously gazed at the tiger radiance not far away.

More precisely.

More precisely, he was looking at the spot where Sword Qi gathered in the tiger radiance's abdomen, wondering how Yu Die could escape from inside it.

You little vixen, you're surprisingly hard to kill!

A flicker of panic flashed in the tiger radiance's eyes, quickly replaced by anger; even Wang Ping'an noticed wave after wave of terrifying Sword Qi gathering in its belly—how could it not sense it? It snarled:

I don't believe you're a nine-tailed fox with nine lives!

In this novel you

In the midst of speaking, the tiger radiance showed no hesitation, quickly circulating its demonic energy to refine Yu Die within its belly.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

Soon after, the sounds of metal striking metal rang out again and again from the tiger radiance's belly—it was the tiger radiance and the Yu Die it had swallowed engaged in combat.

Although the exact battle couldn't be seen clearly, from the tiger radiance's increasingly grim expression it was clear it was suffering a major loss in this fight.

No wonder he's a Captain of the Demon Suppression Office—he's formidable, able to launch a counterattack from inside a demon's belly, not only not falling behind but actually gaining the upper hand!

Wang Ping'an couldn't help but sigh in admiration.

He well knew that a demon's belly is a dragon's pool and tiger's den; even a cultivator of the same realm, once swallowed, could hardly escape death.

After all, a demon's gastric juices are no joke, let alone the other horrifying things inside its belly.

That Yu Die, swallowed by the tiger radiance, was not directly refined into pure energy to become nourishment for it, was already beyond his expectations.

He never would have imagined……

Yu Die actually still had a chance to escape from the tiger radiance's belly!

"You little lass, I underestimated you, but now that you're in my belly, you still want to escape..."

Hu Hui could clearly feel that the demonic qi he controlled, in the battle with Yu Die, was gradually falling into a disadvantage; if he does not employ other means, what awaits him is Yu Die bursting out of his body, and she lets out a vicious laugh, saying: "It can only be said that it's a dream of a fool!"

Suddenly.

In the distance, Wang Ping'an faintly felt a sense of danger, extremely similar to the sense of danger that appeared when Hu Hui self-destructed earlier; moreover, this sense of danger was stronger than before by an unknown number of times.

"No, no, is he going to self-destruct again?"

Wang Ping'an's voice trembled as he wanted to step in and help, but he had personally witnessed Hu Hui's self-destruction just earlier.

If he intervenes now, he won't be able to rescue Yu Die from Hu Hui's belly, and might even get himself killed.

Wang Ping'an looked at Hu Hui's abdomen, where Yu Die was still fighting back, showing a hint of looking out for herself, and quickly stepped back to create distance.

To withstand Hu Hui's second self-destruction!

"Bang!"

The next moment, an earth-shattering explosion sounded, and Hu Hui self-destructed again, in every aspect many times stronger than the previous self-destruction.

As a result, the surrounding five to six hundred meters were flattened, and at the center, as the dust settled, a huge pit ten or twenty meters deep was revealed.

Wang Ping'an silently worried: "Yu Die, she should be alright, right?"
