Chapter 1168 - 1166: Shock
Sword Throwing!
Indeed, it was sword throwing. At this critical moment, the children simultaneously threw their short swords towards the Blue-Striped Screaming Sky Tiger, and immediately streaks of cold light pierced through the air. Meanwhile, taking advantage of the reactionary force from throwing their swords, they narrowly dodged the ring of Demon Energy in mid-air. Among them, two children with lower strength were a bit too slow and were struck by the Demon Energy ring, sent flying away!
But the Blue-Striped Screaming Sky Tiger became even more enraged at this point. Faced with over a dozen short swords flying at it from all directions, it could only gather Gang Qi again, attempting to withstand the assault with its formidable body. However, just as it was about to condense Demon Energy, an unexpected turn of events occurred!
Suddenly, two figures burst forth from among the children, one in the front and one in the back, charging straight towards the Blue-Striped Screaming Sky Tiger’s eyes and underbelly. Instantly, the Blue-Striped Screaming Sky Tiger was caught in a dilemma, unable to fend off attacks from both sides, and in desperation, it could only claw wildly in the air, trying to drive the two children away!
Indeed, it achieved its goal. The two figures that had burst out were sent flying, not by the beast’s own strikes, but like the children before, they had thrown their short swords and retreated by riding the momentum!
But at this moment, more than a dozen short swords almost simultaneously struck the body of the Blue-Striped Screaming Sky Tiger.
"Clang!"
"Clang!"
"Pfft!"
"Swoosh!"
...
In an instant, many of the short swords were deflected, but still, three or four successfully wounded the Blue-Striped Screaming Sky Tiger. On its beautiful blue and white striped pelt, several shallow cuts were left behind. At this moment, pale green Demon Blood flowed out, staining its gorgeous fur!
"Roar..."
The injured Blue-Striped Screaming Sky Tiger was now on the verge of madness, letting out a roar that shook the heavens and earth like a shockwave, blowing the children backward, their feet even sinking into the ground!
The Blue-Striped Screaming Sky Tiger was truly enraged now, not believing that these children could actually hurt it. Its eyes had turned blood-red, completely entering a berserk state, determined to kill all the children in front of it!
By then, the children had already picked up their weapons, once again encircling the Blue-Striped Screaming Sky Tiger, and a great battle began anew...
"Ding-dang!"
"Roar..."
"Careful!"
"Roar..."
...
The children coordinated with incredible tacit understanding. Even if they were accidentally sent flying by the Blue-Striped Screaming Sky Tiger, they showed no fear, and even in the final moments of being thrown away, they still chose to throw their short swords at the Blue-Striped Screaming Sky Tiger! Once they landed, they immediately picked up their swords and rejoined the fray!
Faced with such a relentless siege by the children, the Blue-Striped Screaming Sky Tiger couldn’t unleash its true power and was suppressed by the children. No matter how fiercely it fought, it couldn’t break through; conversely, with each attempt to rush out, it only accrued more wounds on its body...
Is... is all this real?
Standing by the side all this time, Xia Yunfeng watched this scene unfold, his heart profoundly shaken beyond words. He had now forgotten everything; he could have never anticipated that the children faced with a Demon Beast like the Blue-Striped Screaming Sky Tiger would perform so remarkably, not by fleeing desperately but by striving to hunt the beast. How...how could this be real? Even now, with his own eyes witnessing it, he found it hard to believe that all of this was true.
Moreover, the fearlessness that the children are exhibiting right now, the ultimate level of coordination, and their veteran experience in battling demon beasts have profoundly shocked him. Although the children lack strength, their experience and awareness in hunting demon beasts have been sufficient to turn the tides. He has never seen nor heard of such a phenomenon; he truly cannot fathom when the children became this formidable. It’s truly too exaggerated, too incredible!
Keep in mind, facing such a situation, even if adults from the adult group were to come, they couldn’t possibly achieve this extent. Those from the adult group rely on sheer force to clash with demon beasts, which compared to these children, is downright rookie-like. If these children grow up to become masters in the Transcendent Realm, the kinds of demon beasts they could hunt are simply unimaginable!
Watching the children continue to surround and hunt demon beasts, Xia Yunfeng’s heart seems to gradually understand why Lin Feng and Xia Lalan are not the least bit worried about these kids. Turns out the children have become so formidable. However, he truly cannot figure out how Lin Feng and Xia Lalan managed to train the children to such a level. No one in the Xia Family could achieve this, not even a single person in the Hidden World...
Xia Lalan, looking at the dumbstruck Xia Yunfeng, chuckles on the side and says to him with a smile, "Uncle Yunfeng, now you know why Lin Feng and I are not worried, right?"
She speaks casually with an exceptional ease, inadvertently reminiscing about past events. Back then, wasn’t she just like Xia Yunfeng is now? Worried about the children running into problems, doubting Lin Feng, only after seeing the children’s true performance did she come to understand the truth of the matter.
"I understand now, but I want to know how you and Lin Feng trained the children to this extent?" Hearing Xia Lalan’s words, Xia Yunfeng finally snaps back to reality and speaks to Xia Lalan. He really wants to know how the children have become like this; it truly baffles him.
"Uncle Yunfeng, what would you think if I said that ever since Lin Feng arrived, the children have been hunting demon beasts every single day?" Xia Lalan looks at Xia Yunfeng and says with a laugh, yet casually. Of course, she knows why the children have performed in such a manner. Under Lin Feng’s command, the children have been continuously battling demon beasts from the start; otherwise, how could they have become so formidable?
"What... what......" After listening to Xia Lalan’s words, Xia Yunfeng is taken aback once again. He really hadn’t considered the possibility that the children had been fighting demon beasts since Lin Feng’s arrival. He thinks to himself, how could such a thing be possible, with the children’s little strength, how could they fight demon beasts from the start?
But then he suddenly remembers another matter. Xia Ying, who is in charge of the pharmacy, had told him that the children daily exchanged several demon beasts for medicinal ingredients. Connecting these two matters, he finally confirms that the prior events are indeed true; these children have really been fighting demon beasts from the start!
Upon realizing this, he looks at Xia Lalan and opens his mouth but finds no words to say. Ten-something-years-old children being able to hunt demon beasts, if this were to be announced, likely the entire Hidden World would be astounded, because such a thing had never happened before, not even the children of the other three Prominent Families could achieve this...
And just at this moment, suddenly, a figure flashed by. Lin Feng appeared in front of Xia Yunfeng and Xia Lalan, holding in his hand an unknown yet extremely beautiful wildflower, which he handed to Xia Lalan, then said to her, "This is for you."
What does this mean?
Seeing Lin Feng offering her a flower, Xia Lalan is bewildered; she doesn’t understand what Lin Feng means. Why would he suddenly give her a flower? What exactly is going on?
Standing beside Xia Lalan, Xia Yunfeng now looked at Lin Feng with eyes full of suspicion. He was wondering if Lin Feng had any designs on Xia Lalan; if that were the case, he would have to immediately report it to Xia Lalan’s grandfather...
"This flower has mosquito repellent effects. Carry it with you, and mosquitoes won’t come near." Seeing the puzzled look in the eyes of both, Lin Feng instantly realized they had misunderstood him, and thus quickly explained. As for why he did not give it to Xia Yunfeng, that was all too clear; men have thick skin and can rough it out, it is not something they care much about. Xia Lalan is a woman, and it only makes sense to look after her a bit.
Upon hearing Lin Feng say this, Xia Yunfeng no longer dwelled on the matter, instead turning his attention to the children. Lin Feng’s actions were quite normal, with nothing suspicious about them. Since this was the case, he didn’t bother to worry about these things anymore.
Although Xia Lalan was happy after hearing Lin Feng’s words, there was still a small sense of disappointment in her heart. As to why she felt this way, she herself was not clear, but out of politeness, she still thank Lin Feng: "Thank you."
"No need." Lin Feng looked at Xia Lalan and said indifferently, then his gaze moved back to the children. If he estimated correctly, it should be about time now.
Indeed, just as Lin Feng had anticipated, the Blue-Striped Screaming Sky Tiger was slain by the children within only two minutes. Its huge body was now covered in wounds, with not a single spot left untouched. And at the very moment the Blue-Striped Screaming Sky Tiger fell, the children all collapsed on the ground, too exhausted to stand anymore. They had been fighting on sheer willpower, and now the fatigue made it impossible for any of them to remain upright, especially since this was their first time killing a Middle Stage Transcendent Realm Demon Beast.
As expected, it was still slain...
Xia Yunfeng, observing this, did not feel much surprise in his heart, but his heart still skipped a beat. He realized something – under the guidance of Lin Feng and Xia Lalan, the children had undergone a complete transformation and were no longer the same kids who only knew about Cultivation. If this were to continue, these children might astonish the entire Hidden World...
At this moment, Lin Feng was not considering too much. He walked over to where the children lay sprawled on the ground and kicked them a few times, which irritated Xia Yunfeng enormously. The children were already too tired, how could Lin Feng treat them like this? As this thought crossed his mind, he was ready to scold Lin Feng, but before he could speak, what happened next turned him to stone!
All it took was a kick from Lin Feng, and the children suddenly got up from the ground. The look of extreme fatigue had vanished, replaced by one of great excitement. This left Xia Yunfeng at a loss for words, staring at the children and Lin Feng like he had seen a ghost, unable to comprehend how Lin Feng’s kick was so magical, instantly bringing them all back to full vitality. He thought to himself, this... this is impossible, too incredible.
In the blink of an eye, all the children got up from the ground, quickly tidied up their clothes, and wiped their short swords clean. Then, without needing Lin Feng to say anything, they continued running in the direction they were heading before, as if nothing had happened...
Xia Yunfeng looked at Lin Feng and Xia Lalan, opened his mouth but said nothing, and finally just shook his head. He immediately followed them, partly to protect the children, and partly because he wanted to witness for himself again how the children fought the Demon Beasts, because it was simply too incredible!
