Soul Land V: Rebirth of Tang San

With the fusion of his Spirit Rhinoceros Heart Eye and the Heavenly Fox Eye, plus his Purple Demon Eyes, Tang San\'s vision was absolutely top-notch. With just a glance, he clearly made out the appearance of the newcomer.

It was a Spotted Fierce Tiger, with dark yellow fur all over its body, decorated with brown stripes. Its wings were broad and powerful, with longer fur than on the rest of its body. Below its mouth, two dagger-like sharp fangs were exposed. The body was robust and strong, with a length of about two and a half meters.

The way it moved was very special, its limbs pushing off the ground to leap up, and while mid-air, a forceful flap of its wings for a second acceleration. Its speed was incredibly fast, and it carried an extremely fierce aura.

It turned out to be a Winged Tiger! They hadn\'t yet entered the Winged Tiger\'s living area, but unexpectedly encountered one at the edge.

Tang San saw it, and in the next moment, Wu Bingji and Gu Li also saw it clearly. However, there was no panic on their faces, but rather a hint of joy. The reason was simple; this was not an adult Winged Tiger, but a juvenile one.

An adult Winged Tiger\'s length would be at least four meters, with a much larger body and a different presence. Judging from its size, the Winged Tiger they now faced had not yet reached maturity. Such a Winged Tiger would definitely be below Seventh Stage, likely around Fifth to Sixth Stage. It was completely within the capabilities of their current team to handle it.

Rubbing his hands together, Wu Bingji had already formed a shade of blue in the palm of his hands, which, with the rubbing motion, quickly deepened.

That was an ice cone. Over the past few days, Wu Bingji discovered that by rolling it with his hands and evenly integrating the ice element, he could rapidly compress the ice cone to enhance its capabilities.

Gu Li shouted lowly, took a step forward, and a pale yellow light flashed in his eyes; the Winged Tiger, which was about to land on the slope, suddenly paused in mid-air for an instant.

The most terrifying aspect of the Time Freeze ability was not the momentary delay, but the interruption. It interrupts the process of your actions, your attacks.

The forward momentum of the Winged Tiger, previously fierce, froze in an instant; it naturally lost its balance and collided directly with the slope above.

Gu Li\'s body spun, sweeping up his large tail behind him; Disorder Splitting Wind\'s first hammer blow smashed ruthlessly towards the tiger\'s head.

This seamless connection between Time Variation Seal and Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer technique was perfectly executed, as he was in a state of complete excitement.

With a "bang," the Winged Tiger\'s head was struck, causing it to fall straight from the air, effectively intercepted by Gu Li, who blocked it mid-leap.

The ice cone in Wu Bingji\'s hand was also thrown at this instant, activating the throwing arrow; it was only a third of the normal ice cone in size, but the deep blue ice cone vanished in a flash, aiming straight for the Winged Tiger\'s eyes.

Tang San naturally wasn\'t going to stand idly by; a wind blade burst forth from his hand, eighteen wind blades, Technique of Hundred Birds Flocking into the Forest. If one observed carefully, they would notice that the wind blades he released now were a few shades deeper than when they first left the academy to enter the Jiali Mountains, clearly indicating a stronger attack.

"Roar—" As the Winged Tiger was struck down by Gu Li\'s tail, it had already regained its mobility. As it roared, the fur on its body stood straight up.

An explosion of blue-yellow light erupted from its body, blooming outward explosively.

"Freeze!" Gu Li\'s second layer of control arrived almost instantly. The blue-yellow light that burst forth suddenly paused.

And at that moment, the ice cone arrived.

After many battles, the team\'s cooperation had reached a level of understanding that couldn\'t be compared with their initial entry into the mountain range.

With a "puff," the ice cone first pierced the blue-yellow light, and it seemed about to penetrate the Winged Tiger\'s eyes. But at that very instant, the Winged Tiger\'s own body burst forth with another layer of blue light, even more condensed than the previous one.

"Ding," a crisp sound rang out as the blue light blocked the ice cone. This substantial light seemed to possess a very strong defensive ability. However, after compression and being released by Wu Bingji, whose cultivation base was at the Sixth Stage, the power of the ice cone was far greater than before.

Although it was blocked for a moment, the tip still pierced into the blue light.

Just as Tang San had said, if he could refine the ice cone to the level of an ice needle, then it would be especially useful for breaking through defenses.

"Roar—" The Winged Tiger let out a heaven-shaking scream. Although the blue light had blocked most of the attack from the ice cone, its eye was still pierced and blinded.

Accompanied by the scream, the blue and yellow light on the Winged Tiger\'s body exploded to its peak in an instant, forming a light sphere over three meters in diameter centered on its body, completely enveloping it.

Tang San\'s invariably successful Technique of Hundred Birds Flocking into the Forest released wind blades one after another. But when they fell on the blue and yellow shield, most of the blue light actually dissipated, with only a small portion of the impact force affecting it. Eighteen wind blades all hit the same spot, but only made the blue and yellow light dim slightly.

"Wind Protective Energy!" Wu Bingji almost blurted out.

Yes, that was exactly the Vigorous Qi condensed from the wind element. This Wind Protective Energy had a very strong immunity to wind attribute attacks. It had extraordinary defensive power and was capable of both offense and defense.

The Winged Tiger was also of the wind attribute, a representative existence of wind attribute tiger-class demon beasts. Tang San\'s wind blades were clearly not very effective against it.

The intense pain almost instantly sent the young Winged Tiger into a frenzied state. The slightly dimmed blue and yellow shield exploded in an instant. Countless wind blades and wind arrows exploded at once, launching an indiscriminate attack on them.

Is this Rank five?

The thought flashed through Gu Li\'s mind in an instant. Are monsters of the fifth rank this strong?

Sixth Stage! This was Tang San\'s judgment. At this moment, the Winged Tiger\'s body had turned completely blue and yellow, even appearing somewhat translucent. A Wind Elemental Body!

Tang San made the assessment in an instant. What did a Wind Elemental Body imply? It meant that this Winged Tiger\'s innate ability should be something akin to Wind element control.

Very strong!

A Sixth Stage Wind Elemental Body, and the monster beast itself was extraordinarily talented and physically strong. Its strength should even surpass that of Wu Bingji.

Although such thoughts were forming in his mind, Tang San\'s actions did not stop.

Gu Li\'s third yell of \'congeal\' had already sounded.

However, his Time Variation Seal could only affect a certain area, and with his current cultivation base, it could affect roughly a five-meter diameter.

At this time, the three of them were standing quite apart from each other, with Du Bai by the large tree further behind, which was even more critical. Therefore, when Gu Li shouted this \'congeal,\' his main aim was to protect himself and the direction where Du Bai and Cheng Zicheng were by the large tree.

Tang San and Wu Bingji could only rely on themselves. Moreover, this time the Time Variation Seal was not aimed at immobilizing the Winged Tiger, which could still move.

The previous initiative had suddenly turned passive. Gu Li\'s consecutive use of Time Variation Seal three times also drained him significantly. He didn\'t even have the chance to use the second hammer of the Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer technique.

In such a moment, Tang San\'s strength was displayed.

His hands moved rhythmically, sending out wind blades like lightning, no longer just eighteen. In that instant, more than twenty-five wind blades flew out from his hands, intercepting the majority of the wind blades and wind arrows attacking him and Wu Bingji with incredible precision. Not only that, Tang San\'s body shone with blue light, and the surrounding wind element seemed to be absorbed by him, causing the attack released by the Winged Tiger to dim significantly.
