292: The Art of Compromise

When a tiger dies, its frame does not collapse; its residual might never fades.

Xu Le had heard this proverb, but he had never heard of a situation where the tiger was dead, yet the Chang Ghost remained alive.

Clearly, the real Flying Tiger had not died.

The one just killed was merely a Chang, or perhaps a Puppet.

Hurricane Howl!

A colorful tiger with wings on its back landed abruptly in front of the four of them.

"Spirit Tamers, you have crossed the line. You are now my food."

Xu Le rubbed his ears.

Such familiar words!

He casually took out ten flying knives from his paper ring and aimed them at Flying Tiger's vital points.

Flying Tiger snorted coldly, stirring up an invisible shield of Qi around his body, blocking all the flying knives.

Amidst the violent explosions, dust flew, and the shockwaves made the vegetation sway, yet not a single hair on the tiger was moved.

"Trifling tricks!"

"Is this all? This shouldn't be enough to cause that waste to fall!"

Flying Tiger approached the four of them step by step. Each step felt like it was stomping on their hearts, and their heartbeats were involuntarily controlled by its footsteps.

Flying Tiger slammed down its tiger claw, and the four of them felt their hearts seize, nearly suffering cardiac arrest.

This was one of its Divine Ability Spells, which it named the Tiger Claw Heart Control Technique!

If one could not break free from its Aura, their heart would be crushed directly, leading to a miserable death.

Humans, can they break free from the Aura of a tiger?

It was confident this was an invincible move.

As it took another step, a sudden alarm bell rang in Flying Tiger's heart. If it took that step, the four people opposite would die, but it would also die.

With a slight hesitation, Xu Le recovered and immediately released A Piaos Alternate Account.

The spirit Domain of the Middle Stage Blazing Sun Realm was deployed, enveloping Flying Tiger. A Piaos Alternate Account lashed out with its whip. Flying Tiger roared at the sky, expanding its own spirit Domain, which directly shattered A Piaos spirit Domain.

"Is this all the strength you have? That waste truly deserved to die! Wasting so many of my resources!"

Flying Tiger stamped down in anger. A violent wind howled, grass and stones flew, and the four of them couldn't even open their eyes.

A wisp of astral wind was hidden within the gale, blowing towards Xu Huan, who was closest to Xu Le.

When the astral wind entered a seven-meter radius, Xu Le detected it immediately. Relying on his perception, he quickly pulled Xu Huan over.

The astral wind brushed past her. Xu Huan was completely unaware and was about to ask what was wrong, but when she saw the direction Xu Le was looking and turned around, she felt a chill shoot from the soles of her feet straight to her scalp.

Where she had been standing, a bottomless pit had silently appeared. The pitch-black hole seemed capable of swallowing everything.

"You have some skills!"

Flying Tiger looked at Wang Xueting and spat out another wisp of astral wind.

As the astral wind entered the seven-meter radius, Xu Le realized that while its trajectory appeared to be aimed at Wang Xueting, the true target was still Xu Huan.

He pulled Xu Huan, who was looking at her best friend with concern, away again. The latter only then realized what had happened and couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

How shameless!

Being so strong, yet still resorting to sneak attacks!

Then she thought of her own twin brother, who also seemed to like sneak attacks.

Could it be that my lack of strength is because my character is too good?

Flying Tiger looked at Xu Le, finally confirming that he could predict its attacks.

"How did you do that?"

Xu Le repeated the same words as before. Flying Tiger shook its head in disdain: "A mere Yan Tian Sect, even the Sect Master was killed by me. You say a True Disciple like you can calculate my attacks? Nonsense!"

Xu Le hadn't intended to use his ultimate move, but Flying Tiger's strength exceeded his expectations. Compared to the previous imposter, this authentic one was excessively powerful, even faintly having a level that exceeded the Blazing Sun Realm Peak.

Galaxy Level!

Xu Le thought of the Golden Buddha, the Nine-Tailed Fox Spirit, and Lin Yuanyuan, becoming even more certain that the opponent was a Galaxy Level expert who had sealed their own cultivation.

To kill the opponent, he had to wait for them to get close, then launch a sneak attack, and kill them in one blow before they could unlock their Seal.

Flying Tiger also sensed danger in its heart and refused to take another step forward no matter what.

All these years, while it appeared arrogant and overbearing, it was actually extremely protective of its own life.

After hesitating for a long while, it spoke coldly: "You must compensate me."

The three women: = ͞ ͟ ͟ ͞ ( ꒪ ᗜ ꒪ ‧ ̣ ̥ ̇ ) = ͞ ͟ ͟ ͞ ( ꒪ ᗜ ꒪ ‧ ̣ ̥ ̇ ) = ͞ ͟ ͟ ͞ ( ꒪ ᗜ ꒪ ‧ ̣ ̥ ̇ )

This seems somewhat familiar, what is going on?

Xu Le deliberately provoked Flying Tiger to draw it closer: "How do you want to compensate me?"

"No, it is you who must compensate me!"

Xu Le pointed at the paper scraps scattered everywhere and pursed his lips: "They were my beloved friends and family, but they were slaughtered by you and your Chang Ghost. You must compensate me."

Flying Tiger roared, flapping its wings, causing a violent wind to blow, making the clothes of the four flap loudly: "I'm afraid you've forgotten who holds the initiative. I am the boss; you are the one who should compensate me."

"Then let's fight!" Xu Le beckoned with his finger.

Flying Tiger was screaming in rage internally, but it also confirmed that Xu Le had a trump card. Knowing that continuing to tangle would yield no results, it simply tried a few more probing attacks, none of which succeeded!

"Forget it! It's my birthday today, so I'll let you off!" Flying Tiger spread its wings and flew directly towards Flying Tiger Ridge, without a hint of reluctance.

It was not worth risking its life for a mere four people!

If the opponent had been 40 or 400 people, it might have given it a try.

The sun had come out.

Xu Le took out the delicious food Xiao Meng had made. It had to be said, while the other party's strength was so weak it didn't seem like the Blazing Sun Realm, their cooking skills were absolutely top-tier.

The three women also ate happily, even forgetting about the powerful Flying Tiger for a moment.

"Brother, where are we going next?" Xu Huan felt that this period had been quite pleasant; her strength was improving quickly, it was safe, and there was delicious food to enjoy. She didn't want to return to the Xuanwu Legion immediately.

Xu Le said: "We aren't going anywhere."

"Ah?" The three women were all a bit surprised.

A look of realization flashed in Wang Xueting's eyes. She pointed at the surrounding leaves and asked: "Do you need us to go pick leaves?"

A strange look flashed in Xu Le's eyes. The feeling of the other party being able to guess the second step as soon as he said the first was truly great.

He pointed at the paper figurines and said: "Just let them go pick them. You help me handle the very first step!"

Time passed slowly. With the cooperation of the paper figurines and The three women, by noon, Xu Le had already created over 3,000 paper figurines, including hundreds of Phoenix.

Although they were crudely made, under the refining of A Piaos spirit power, all the paper figurines possessed the standard of the low-level Bright Moon Realm Peak.

Xu Le began to activate the paper figurines, and dense crowds of them appeared on the ground.

Four hundred cavalrymen, and the rest were all archers.

The three women helped activate a dozen or so, only to feel their Mental Energy failing. They were shocked to discover that after Xu Le had activated over a thousand paper figurines, his movements were still without the slightest sluggishness, and he was still full of energy. They couldn't help but curse Xu Le as a pervert, his Mental Energy was at least a hundred times theirs.

Flying Tiger on Flying Tiger Ridge also watched with trepidation. It flapped its wings and flew in front of Xu Le.

"What do you want to do?"

"I want compensation!"

"What compensation? The substitute I carefully cultivated was killed by you. Do you know how much effort I spent on it?" Flying Tiger was furious.

Xu Le was full of confidence: "I don't know, and I don't care. I only care about how much compensation I can get."

"Are you even human?" Flying Tiger was so angry it scratched its scalp. "At worst, we break things off. I'll just flap my wings and run away, and you won't even get to eat my dust."

Xu Le curled his lips shamelessly: "It doesn't matter. When that happens, I'll burn down Flying Tiger Ridge and then spread the word everywhere that you were chased away by me in a sorry state."

"You truly deserve to die!" Flying Tiger's eyes turned red. If this were to spread, wouldn't its reputation of a lifetime turn into a lifetime of being a coward?

A sense of fatal crisis arose in its heart again. Flying Tiger knew it couldn't advance any further, so its tone softened: "Speak, what do you want?"
