97: Speciality

Hearing Han Yi's loud shout, the Hungry Tiger's large tiger eyes were no longer filled with their usual ferocity, but instead showed a trace of fear. It desperately tried to recover from its injuries, wanting to twist its body around.

Whoosh!

A gust ofCold Wind swept over. Perhaps seeing its tiger master in a critical situation, a small Wraith with only one eye once again ambushed Han Yi from behind, trying to hold him back.

This was the first time Han Yi had seen such a brazen sneak attack. Even without relying on the 'Mind's Eye' trait, he could easily defend against it.

He casually swung the Xuan Tie Sword, striking towards the Wraith.

But this little one-eyed Wraith had a hint of cunning in its eyes.

"Use Talismans, weapons are useless..."

Bai Sanren, who was behind him, shouted loudly and threw out several Talismans.

Crack!

The Cold Wind was instantly scattered by the Xuan Tie Sword. The 'One-Eye' was smacked back fiercely by Han Yi like a mole, turning into a black stripe on the Hungry Tiger's body.

The words that Bai Sanren had been about to shout from his throat stopped abruptly.

"That's not right, weapons shouldn't be able to hit these Yin soul little Wraith..."

"How could this be..." he muttered to himself.

"Perhaps, the material of my Xuan Tie Sword is quite special..."

Han Yi's movement was hindered, so he simply stopped, caught the Talismans, and replied to Bai Sanren.

Just now, he had subconsciously used the Xuan Tie Sword to block, not thinking too much about it. After all, he wasn't afraid of the so-called Yin entering his body, but he didn't expect it to be effective with one strike.

But thinking about it now, Wraith are similar to Yin Qi worms, both are products of Yin Qi accumulation. Ordinary weapons are completely ineffective, which can be understood as 'physical immunity' in some sense. Therefore, when dealing with these things, Martial Artists below the Tongmai Stage must use Talismans or vital blood to be effective.

Perhaps, I really stumbled upon a dead mouse as a blind cat and picked up a Treasure Item?

Treasure Items all possess various incredible effects. Dealing with Wraith is probably just a piece of cake...

Han Yi's thoughts raced.

He remembered that in the Hundred Treasures Pavilion, Master Lu had said that the material of this Xuan Tie Sword was a Fusion of extraterrestrial meteorite iron and the unknown material of the lanyu sword. Although the Xuan Tie Sword didn't have a Treasure Item's glow, its sharpness and sturdiness had indeed reached the Treasure Item level...

Roar!

The Hungry Tiger's low roar of pain sounded.

Now was not the time to dwell on this. Han Yi quickly adjusted his posture and charged towards the Hungry Tiger.

At this moment, the Hungry Tiger was struggling to twist its waist and hips, as if its movement was slow due to the wound on its abdomen.

Chirp, chirp

Although this Hungry Tiger couldn't see behind it, its two tiger ears stood up, seemingly hearing the rustling sounds of Wraith reporting.

Whoosh!

Han Yi swung his sword. The Xuan Tie Sword, weighing seventy to eighty jin, felt as light as a feather in his hand, pointing towards the Hungry Tiger's large head.

Bang, bang

Just as the sword tip of the Xuan Tie Sword approached, the Hungry Tiger's two front paws suddenly slammed onto the ground. Its waist and hips quickly lifted, and its massive body flashed past Han Yi's attack as if by magic, charging towards Han Yi at an incredible angle!

This giant tiger's weight was probably several thousand jin. An ordinary person hit by this would likely have their internal organs shattered and die instantly. Even a Lianxue Stage Martial Artist like Han Yi couldn't avoid being dazed for a moment.

Thump~~

But all of this was exposed under Han Yi's 'Mind's Eye'. In an instant, the sword light twisted, turning attack into defense. The Hungry Tiger crashed into the sword body, which was the size of a door panel, and instead shook its head, feeling dizzy for a while.

Chirp!

A black stripe on the Hungry Tiger's body floated out again, turning into an Wraith. This time, the Wraith only had one eyebrow, which could be called 'One-Eyebrow'.

'One-Eyebrow' circled around, turning into a gust of Cold Wind that swept towards Han Yi, trying to buy time for the Hungry Tiger's recovery.

Crack!

Han Yi picked up the Talisman with his left hand and slapped it towards 'One-Eyebrow', but the Breaking Yin Talisman was held in his palm, and his fingers touched 'One-Eyebrow' first.

[Discoverable Yin Qi, absorb?]

Han Yi's eyebrow twitched, revealing unconcealed joy. He had thought he would return empty-handed from this investigation mission for the 'River Ghost', but unexpectedly, he found what he was looking for without effort, replenishing his Yuan Power value on the way back.

Just now, when he heard Bai Sanren mention Yin entering the body, he had kept this in mind. After all, the System could absorb Yin!

However, he had never had the chance. Even though Bai Sanren and Qian Xue were close to him, he didn't want to expose the existence of the System!

[Absorb]

He silently said.

[Name]: Han Yi (16/112)

[Yuan Power Value]: 19

It only added ten points of Yuan Power and one year of lifespan, but there were still two black stripes on the Hungry Tiger's back!

What a pity, just now two Wraith were eliminated by Sanren Bai using evil-breaking Talismans and the vital blood from a Martial Artist's tongue...

Roar!

The Hungry Tiger's two consecutive attacks missed. Using the time gained by the Wraith's distraction, it seized the opportunity to regain consciousness.

Crack!

Its tail, over a zhang long, was like a strong and powerful bronze whip. The tiger tail cracked, bringing with it a piercing wind sound, and lashed down heavily.

This drooping tiger tail seemed soft, but at this moment, all of the Hungry Tiger's strength was concentrated in its tail. This power could probably split mountains and shatter rocks!

"Flying Swallow Kick - Swallow Returns!"

Although this whip attack was concealed, Han Yi remained calm. He moved like lightning, first dodging in mid-air like a swift, then his body spun, his sword light surged, and he swept it across.

As the saying goes, strike while the iron is hot, then decline, then exhaust.

The tiger's three Moves, pounce, flip, and lash, the first two were dealt with by Han Yi, so this lash was naturally even easier.

Crack!

The Hungry Tiger extended its two sharp claws to block the Xuan Tie Sword, but a distinct sound of bone cracking came from within its body, and it was sent flying sideways.

Its usually shiny fur was now dull, covered in blood and dust. Of the five black stripes on it, three had disappeared, leaving only two shallow black lines.

The tiger's three ultimate Moves, one pounce, one flip, and one lash, all missed. Its strength was exhausted, and its ferocious nature had already withered by more than half. Its two large tiger eyes were filled with fear and resentment.

Normally, it relied on the elusive ability of its five Wraith to be invincible and act tyrannically in the depths of Black Rock Mountain. However, only when 'that person' appeared did it have to flee in disarray.

Having been hungry for many days, it fled in a sorry state. Today, it originally wanted to come out for a meal and satisfy its hunger, but it never expected...

Two weak gusts of black wind surged up from the Hungry Tiger's body. Even in this situation, the two Wraith wanted to take their 'master' and escape!

Han Yi naturally wouldn't just watch. His muscles rapidly swelled and bulged. The swinging Xuan Tie Sword emitted a "buzzing" sound, and his body left a afterimage as it slashed across the tiger's head.

Rip!

The huge tiger head fell to the ground, its green eyes still open, still awe-inspiring.
