191: Chapter 191 Crimson Tiger Battle Form! Suppressing All! Blood Mist Fills the Sky!

In the mist, Aurora froze.

She turned her head to look at the young noble beside her, who was nearly a head taller than her, and for a moment, she didn't know what to say.

Samuel narrowed his eyes, re-evaluating the young noble who had suddenly stepped out.

Previously, he had regarded this noble as merely a playboy son of the local lord, someone who at best had brought a few guards to patrol the territory.

But now, the young man's performance stirred a subtle sense of unease in his heart.

Cassius was even more stunned for a moment.

But immediately, an even more surging rage swept away his reason.

He widened his eyes violently, veins bulging on his forehead, his entire face flushed red.

He stared fixedly at Rowan, watching his nonchalant demeanor, watching the intimate posture he held while standing beside Aurora...

He went completely mad!

"What are you pretending for!!!"

He roared, hysterical.

He suddenly raised his staff.

A violent wind blade condensed and took shape in front of him, about to slash toward Rowan!

"Senior, stop—!"

Aurora exclaimed.

However—

Rowan's movements were faster.

No one saw how he moved.

In just an instant,

He had already appeared in front of Cassius.

Cassius froze.

His arm, holding the staff high, stiffened in mid-air.

He looked down at his shoulder, somewhat puzzled.

Where did this tiger claw come from?!

A crimson tiger claw?!

Then, he was struck with terror.

He suddenly raised his head to look at the massive figure standing inches away.

Rowan's body was already shrouded in a layer of crimson light, which condensed on his skin into a semi-transparent energy form, outlining the silhouette of a fierce tiger.

Broad shoulders extended into powerful forelimbs.

His five fingers had transformed into sharp tiger claws.

A pair of cold, vertical pupils burned with Blazing golden light in the mist.

This, this is... a High-Order Grand Knight Battle Aspect?!

Cassius's pupils shrank to the size of pinpricks, and a bone-chilling cold rushed from the soles of his feet straight to his scalp.

He wanted to retreat, wanted to open his mouth to beg for mercy—

But it was too late for him to do anything.

A thin line of blood appeared on his throat.

An incomparably tyrannical Battle Qi raged inside his body, destroying all his vitality.

The expression on his face instantly froze, replaced by an unbelievable bewilderment.

So, he was already dead?!

In an instant.

The entire scene fell into dead silence!

The weird smile on Samuel's face had disappeared at some point.

That Razor Lynx arched its back, a low growl rumbling in its throat, its deep green pupils locked tightly onto Rowan.

And Aurora, staring blankly at Rowan's back, felt her heart skip a beat.

Rowan lowered his hand, his gaze sweeping calmly over Samuel and the Razor Lynx, finally landing on Samuel's face.

The corners of his mouth curled slightly into an arc, carrying a hint of amusement and a touch of mockery:

"Alright, now—"

"I'll give you three seconds to run for your lives!"

...

Upon hearing this, Samuel fell silent.

He did not move.

He did not retreat a single step.

Years of life as a wandering wizard had taught him one thing.

At such a critical moment of life and death, panic and running away would only lead to a faster death.

Those guys who turned and ran as soon as they encountered a strong enemy—nine out of ten exposed their backs to the enemy's attacks and died quickly and miserably.

He would not make such a low-level mistake.

His brain was whirring, rapidly assessing the situation before him.

A High-Order Grand Knight!

And a High-Order Grand Knight who had mastered a complete Battle Aspect, not some half-baked amateur who had just touched the threshold.

Judging from the speed and power of that strike just now, this was a genuine combat-type Battle Aspect.

A Great Knight of this level had lethal suppressive power over spellcasters at close range.

Therefore, he only had one chance!

Since the opponent was a combat-type Battle Aspect, their defense was often relatively weak.

As long as he could coordinate with the Razor Lynx to form a pincer attack and seize the opportunity to break through the opponent's defense...

even if it was just for a split second...

his curse magic would be able to land!

These thoughts passed in a flash.

His gaze quickly swept over the surrounding terrain, and then met the Razor Lynx's deep green pupils.

In an instant, communication was complete.

The next moment—

Samuel's eyes suddenly became sharp:

"Do it!"

He stomped his foot violently, and the staff in his hand erupted with light!

At the same time, the Razor Lynx also moved!

Its figure turned into a bolt of black lightning, pouncing toward Rowan at a speed almost impossible to capture with the naked eye!

Its sharp claws carved five dark red trails in the air, aiming straight for Rowan's throat!

A series of sharp sonic booms rang out in the air!

Samuel's spell was also completed instantly.

Three dark gray bone spears condensed out of thin air in front of him and shot out!

Man and beast, their coordination was seamless!

One pinning him down from the front, the other providing long-range suppression!

This was the tacit understanding they had built up over years of contract cooperation!

However—

Rowan didn't even twitch an eyebrow.

He raised his hand.

Spread his five fingers.

Then, he grabbed sharply into the void!

A scorching sun rose within his body!

Crimson light instantly condensed and outlined itself on his skin.

In the void, a pair of tiger eyes burning with golden flames took shape, radiating a domineering air that looked down on everything!

Battle Aspect: Red Tiger!

At that very instant—

Rowan moved.

The Red Tiger Battle Aspect left an afterimage in place and instantly appeared before the Razor Lynx!

The crimson tiger claw, carrying the force of ten thousand jun, slammed down from above with ferocity!

"Bang—!"

A thunderous boom!

With a single claw, the Razor Lynx's massive body was smashed straight into the ground!

Blood gushed from its mouth, nose, and wounds, staining a large area of the ground red.

It struggled, trying to get up.

For the first time, a look of fear appeared in its eyes.

But it wasn't over yet.

The next second.

Puchi—!

A dull cracking sound.

The Razor Lynx's skull was pierced through!

Then.

It twitched twice and stopped moving altogether.

From start to finish, it took no more than a breath's time.

A lord-level magical beast, slaughtered alive!

Samuel's face turned deathly pale in an instant.

But he had no time to be shocked.

Because while Rowan was slaughtering the Razor Lynx, his figure had already shot straight toward him like an arrow released from a bowstring!

That Red Tiger phantom dragged a dazzling stream of light through the air, carrying a Blazing aura that incinerated everything, and in the blink of an eye, it was already right in front of him!

There was no emotion in those golden vertical pupils, only pure, cold killing intent.

Samuel gritted his teeth, a flash of madness in his eyes.

He knew he had nowhere left to retreat; his only path to survival was to give it his all and fight for a glimmer of hope!

The magic power around him surged wildly, and dark gray mist gushed from his body, condensing into a giant skeletal phantom above his head!

"Death Breath—!"

He roared.

The skeletal phantom opened its huge mouth, spewing out a thick poisonous mist!

Wherever the mist passed, the air hissed with corrosive sounds, and the dark red moss on the ground instantly withered, turned black, and crumbled into ash!

This was his strongest strike!

His trump card for saving his life!

However—

Rowan didn't even dodge.

The crimson light on the Red Tiger Battle Aspect surged, and like a burning meteor, he charged straight into that dark green poisonous mist!

The moment the poisonous mist touched the crimson light, it emitted a harsh sizzling sound and quickly evaporated and dissipated!

Samuel's pupils shrank.

He saw it—

A pair of golden vertical pupils looking down at him.

Until they filled his entire field of vision.

He felt his vitality rapidly draining away...

Then, everything was over.

His body was completely destroyed by that incomparably tyrannical Battle Qi, and with a boom, it turned into a sky full of blood mist.

The mist slowly closed in...

Everything returned to calm.
