“Old witch, if you dare to kill me, my clan will never rest until you are dead!” The giant tiger roared hoarsely.
The old woman hovered in mid-air, coldly looking at the injured giant tiger on the ground. She said in a chilling voice, “After I kill you, I will eradicate the entire Inferno Tiger clan!”
In this otherworldly continent, humans and Demonkin had always been mortal enemies.
The Frostwhisper Clan, to which the old woman belonged, had generations of enmity with the Inferno Tiger clan.
The old woman’s name was Claudia, and she was the Grand Elder of the Frostwhisper Clan. The giant tiger had severely injured her direct disciple and devoured several elite disciples of the Frostwhisper Clan, leading her to chase it down here.
Claudia’s gaze was icy. With a wave of her left sleeve, a short ice sword flew out from her sleeve and multiplied into hundreds in the air.
Seeing the hundreds of ice swords appear in the air, the giant tiger’s pupils contracted, and an uncontrollable look of fear appeared on its beastly face.
It knew that the dozens of blood marks on its body were caused by these ice swords.
Claudia pressed her left hand down.
Hundreds of ice swords fell towards the giant tiger on the ground like a rain of blades.
The giant tiger would not sit still and await death. Despite risking damage to its cultivation foundation, it leaped up from the ground and continued to flee forward.
The hundreds of ice swords did not fall to the ground but changed direction to pursue the giant tiger.
Although the giant tiger was fast, the ice swords were even faster!
A few seconds later, the foremost dozen or so ice swords broke through the giant tiger’s protective demonic energy, and the subsequent ice swords added more wounds to its body.
The giant tiger ran while howling in pain. Under the fear of death, it unleashed all its power, increasing its speed another notch.
The reason the giant tiger kept fleeing in this direction was that it had discovered a spatial rift ahead.
Feeling the ice swords behind it could take its life at any moment, the giant tiger did not hesitate and leaped directly into the spatial rift.
Seeing the giant tiger disappear, Claudia paused in her pursuit. With a gesture of her left hand, the hundreds of ice swords merged into one and flew back into her sleeve.
“A spatial gate appeared here?”
Claudia squinted her eyes slightly before flashing into the spatial rift.
After a brief moment of darkness, light returned to the giant tiger’s eyes. A terrifying chill immediately assaulted it, causing its body to shiver involuntarily.
The giant tiger looked up. All it saw was a vast expanse of white with no signs of life, only endless cold.
Soon, Claudia locked onto the giant tiger’s aura again.
“Did you think you could escape?” The icy voice reached the giant tiger’s ears once more.
Claudia waved her staff, and amidst a burst of cold light, a large blade formed from ice appeared above the giant tiger.
The giant tiger used its last bit of strength to dodge but was still a bit too slow. The blade’s light slashed across its body.
The blade left a deep wound on the giant tiger, exposing bone.
A painful howl echoed through this white world and spread far and wide.
At this point, the giant tiger knew that continuing to flee was futile. It turned its massive body despite the pain and glared at Claudia with blood-red eyes full of malice.
“Old witch, you’ve pushed me too far. Even if I die, I’ll take you with me!” The giant tiger roared, “Sacrifice, Burn Heaven!”
A golden rune appeared on its forehead.
The rune quickly spread from its forehead to cover its entire body.
The golden rune ignited, and golden flames rose from the giant tiger’s massive body. An overwhelming power erupted from it.
“Sacrificing its origin power?” Claudia squinted slightly, knowing that the giant tiger was making its final struggle.
Demonkin could gain immense power for a short time by sacrificing their origin power.
However, this came with a downside: once the effect wore off, they would enter a prolonged state of weakness.
In other words, if the giant tiger failed to defeat Claudia after sacrificing its origin power, it would surely die.
As the giant tiger’s power peaked, even Claudia, who had been confident of victory, couldn’t help but tense up. She gripped her staff tighter.
The giant tiger roared at the sky before spitting out a ball of golden-red flames from its mouth.
The flames spread out in the air like golden-red clouds.
From those clouds emerged a giant golden hand that reached for Claudia standing in mid-air.
The hand was enormous, making Claudia’s figure seem tiny in comparison.
Claudia did not dare to be careless. Chanting incantations, she raised her staff high.
Powerful ice energy shot from the staff’s tip as a white beam towards the descending golden tiger claw.
At their point of contact, the fierce golden claw paused before ice crystals began spreading from the contact point.
Soon, the claw’s fingers were covered in ice crystals and began to crack.
Seconds later, the entire golden claw was enveloped in destructive ice crystals.
The golden claw shattered!
At that moment, more golden claws emerged from the golden-red clouds one after another, reaching for Claudia.
With so many deadly claws coming at her, Claudia didn’t dare to confront them head-on. She flashed repeatedly to dodge them.
The first golden claw missed and struck the ground, creating a huge pit that made the ground tremble under its powerful impact.
The remaining dozen or so claws changed direction to pursue Claudia as she dodged.
Every time Claudia dodged a claw, another huge pit appeared on the ground. The once pristine white world began to show signs of devastation.
Despite her fast dodging speed, Claudia was still grazed by one of the claws, tearing her body slightly.
The powerful force caused Claudia’s aged body to fall from mid-air to the ground.
Seeing such an opportunity, the giant tiger controlled the last golden claw to strike where Claudia had fallen.
Though grazed earlier, Claudia wasn’t severely injured. Seeing the claw coming down, she quickly dodged again.
The golden claw struck the ground hard, creating a crack hundreds of meters long. The impact sent snow flying everywhere in a white blur.
From afar, Claudia wiped blood from her mouth with an icy gaze in her eyes.
Seeing it had gained an advantage, the giant tiger roared triumphantly again. Its blood-red eyes flashed with satisfaction.
Being chased by Claudia had been extremely frustrating for it.
