Celestial Peak

Moving like a dragon, Wang Ling brandished his sword without restraint.

Zeng!

A tree was cut in two as Wang Ling slashed his sword in a horizontal manner against the Black Tiger that was over two meters large. Wang Ling's sword was swift and deadly, it was sharp and vicious, and it was terrifying and merciless.

Its speed was akin to lightning and it was ferocious like a storm. Yet it was dodged by the Black Tiger. The Black Tiger retreated explosively as a black colored fog appeared on its four paws.

With the appearance of the black fog, Wang Ling's unrestrained strike was easily dodged by the Black Tiger. But the Black Tiger that looked at Wang Ling with interest and slight contempt, it was now looking at him as a true opponent.

That sword attack of Wang Ling was not normal. It had no divinity in it but it was not far from reaching that level. Wang Ling was looking more and more like a true mystery to the Black Tiger.

However, it was not only the Black Tiger who was baffled as Wang Ling was the same. His sword was dodged so easily by the Black Tiger. Its movement was too fast, those black fog should be a part of its Innate Techniques.

Innate Techniques were techniques that was innately inherent to beasts and other races who possess unique lineage. Wang Ling's inherited devil attributed techniques can be considered as innate techniques.

"Not bad, human… no, Wang Ling. Your swordsmanship is superb for someone of this realm. But, that won't be enough to kill me." The Black Tiger spoke and the black fog covering its paw started to burst out.

A sudden gust of wind began to shake the air and a small cyclone was created. The Black Tiger was also getting serious. A roar escaped from its mouth and disappeared from where it stood.

The next instant, it appeared before Wang Ling with its maw wide open. It was ready to devour Wang Ling in one attack.

It was fast and was almost undetectable by most people. This single attack was supposed to kill Wang Ling, but Wang Ling's sword was already prepared to counter the Black Tiger even before it could reach him.

A dense aura of slaughter permeated the air as Wang Ling used his sword to make a beautiful arc that was headed for the Black Tiger's neck.

This startled the Black Tiger and made it turn its head to the side forcefully changing its course midway. As the Black Tiger moved its head away, Wang Ling did his best to follow up.

He circulated his spirit qi and hellish qi together and used up two qi pillars to execute the first form of Heaven Vanquisher, the Judgement. Wang Ling's sword started to hum as it absorbed his qi.

His sword swiftly moved and started tearing through the air. As if his sword was glowing white, Wang Ling's sword chased after the Black Tiger.

Spurt!

Blood spurted as his sword touched the Black Tiger's skin. Although the Black Tiger's Skin was supposed to be tough. Wang Ling's sword was simply too sharp.

A sword injury appeared on the Black Tiger's back which incited it to become even angrier. The black fog that was on its paws became eve larger and even denser than before.

The Black Tiger landed on the ground and immediately disappeared right after. It reappeared behind Wang Ling and used its claw to attack him on the back.

Wang Ling was fast and have both the Devil's Pupils and the Ocean's Lull to see through the movements of his enemies. He previously saw the Black Tiger's moves because of these two, but now that the Black Tiger had upped its game, following it became even harder.

Wang Ling was astonished at its speed and could do nothing but defend its attack from behind.

Bam!

He was sent flying by the force of the Black Tiger's heavy strike. Wang Ling crashed into a nearby tree and released a pained groan. However, he didn't even have any time to catch his breath as the claws of the Black Tiger seemed to have become bigger and was coming after him.

"Phantom Claws!!" the Black Tiger roared as its slashes became more and more tyrannical. The strikes became faster and deadlier as time went one.

Wang Ling saw this and his face immediately paled. But he did not cower and immediately circulated his spirit qi and hellish qi to its fullest in order to parry and defend against the attacks of the Black Tiger.

At this moment, Wang Ling felt pressure, but he kept at it and continued defending. Blood started to appear from the corner of his mouth as every hit he took managed to shake his body both internally and externally.

Wang Ling flapped his wings and flew up in order to gain an advantage and catch his breath. But against his imagination, the Black Tiger saw him do this and also grew a pair of wings on its back.

The wings on its back was not normal as it radiated the same aura as that of hell. More specifically, a beast that came from hell.

Wings? A beast that came from hell? Wang Ling's face crumbled as he suddenly realized that something was wrong about this Black Tiger. This 'tiger' was not only a tiger that devoured the beasts but was something else entirely.

Wang Ling was intrigued, but he had no time to be as the Black Tiger was coming for him with a fit of intense anger. Its body, at this moment, was flying as if it was Phoenix, the wings on its back came from a Phoenix after all.

The Black Tiger instigated a very fierce assault, but Wang Ling was in no way going to take a one-sided beating one more time.

"Come at me!" roaring, Wang Ling flapped his wings and clashed with the Black Tiger's Phantom Claws. His sword was being pushed back and many attacks were slipping past his defenses. But Wang Ling dodged them by using his Ocean's Lull and Devil's Pupils and avoided them.

Moreover, Wang Ling wasn't just passively taking and dodging the attacks, he too was attacking.

The human and beast clashed on the skies with their wings flapping, giving them a burst of speed that no one of the same levels could possess.

Wang Ling was at a disadvantage as his cultivation was low. The Black Tiger had already given him a lot of injuries. His blood incessantly flowed off his body as Wang Ling's breathing became haggard.

"Are you tired already? That's a given as you're a mere human that's two-level weaker than me. Let me put you out of your misery." The Black Tiger moved and pounced at Wang Ling.

The already weak Wang Ling raised his hands and blocked the attack.

Boom!

He managed to block it but he was sent flying a couple of meters away before managing to find footing to stand tall. At this moment, something inexplicable occurred.

The human that was already weak and about to fall suddenly exploded with power. Wang Ling's cultivation suddenly increased as it broke through the barrier of the late-energy palace stage cultivation.

"The pills have finally been refined…" Wang Ling looked at the Black Tiger that was looking at him weirdly and said, "…thanks for the help, but I have sustained more injuries than I thought I would."

With that said. Wang Ling's bloodline suddenly churned as he spoke once more.

"I want a round two, this time, I'll fucking make you submit to me!"
