Chapter 513: Chapter 513: The Disbelieving Jin Mo

"Boom!" With what seemed an effortless swipe, the black panther shattered the sprawling ice heading this way, which exploded under the fiery claws of the panther.

Following that, the sound of "crack crack crack" continuously resounded. The air that had frozen into ice last time was now rapidly shattering under the panther’s claws, layer by layer, all the way up to Jin Mo’s front. The ice-blended air from Jin Mo’s Ice Blade Slash instantly shattered and left piles of crushed ice on the ground.

Jin Mo was merely a Nine-star Martial Sect warrior, and under the Seventh-Stage Early Stage Venerable power of the black panther, the difference was as vast as that between heaven and earth.

"My attack!" Jin Mo’s face paled as her attack, which concentrated all her body’s power, was easily torn apart by a swipe of the panther’s claws. Suddenly, an even more horrified expression appeared on her pretty face. "No, please don’t!"

With a leap of its hind legs, the fiercely burning black panther bounded into the air, "Roar!" it roared violently, baring its sharp, fierce fangs and ferociously pounced towards Jin Mo, looking set to tear her into pieces.

"No!" As the black panther ferociously pounced down, Jin Mo, instead of running or resisting, used her hands to cover her face, not daring to watch further. A faint "sob sob" could be heard.

"Ah!" At that moment, a distant sigh suddenly was heard, followed by a beast’s intense cry of pain. "Roar!"

"Ah?" As time slowly passed, Jin Mo realized that ever since she closed her eyes, time appeared to stand still, and the black panther that had leaped towards her hadn’t reached her yet.

Following that, Jin Mo slightly parted the hands covering her face, sneaking a look through the gaps of her fingers. She was ready to immediately shield her eyes again at the sight of that fierce Black Flame Black Panther.

It seemed as long as she covered her eyes, the panther wouldn’t attack her.

"Ah!" When Jin Mo peeked through the gaps of her fingers and saw the scene outside, she let out another startled cry. She saw a familiar black silhouette appear in front of her.

At that moment, this figure’s right hand was lifted high, clutching the face of the black panther. Suddenly, his pale right hand erupted with Blood-colored Blaze, "Ao!" the panther cried painfully. Its body, previously burning with black flames, instantly turned to blood-red flames. The Blood-colored Blaze engulfed the entire body of the black panther.

"Little Shi! Sob! Little Shi!" Seeing the familiar black silhouette, Jin Mo, having just narrowly escaped death from the panther’s claws, stepped forward like a bullied and wronged little girl and tightly embraced Shi Feng from behind.

"Sob! Little Shi! You finally got better! It was so close, I almost got eaten by that horrible panther, and Little Bai is already injured, sob!" Jin Mo’s grievances seemed to deepen the more she spoke.

The Blood-colored Blaze in mid-air rolled back into Shi Feng’s hand and was quickly absorbed into his palm while the Blood-colored Blaze dissipated. The Black Flame Black Panther that had leaped into the air had vanished completely, leaving not a trace behind.

Shi Feng, being embraced from behind by Jin Mo, slowly turned around and looked at the girl in his arms with a suffering expression, her eyes brimming with tears. Shi Feng smiled and said, "Just now, facing the black panther, you looked so brave, like a warrior determined to die. Why have you become so fragile now?"

"Sob! I was scared, okay? I almost died, and you can still laugh, you bad Little Shi, stinky Little Shi!" Jin Mo pouted and complained to Shi Feng: "And you saw it all from the beginning but didn’t come to help, causing Little Bai to get hurt and making me think I was surely doomed this time."

"Everything is over now," Shi Feng said, and then added, "I’ve also just recovered from my injuries. If I could move, why would I let a woman stand in front of me?"

"People... people... Let’s first check on Little Bai’s injuries. Little Bai was injured trying to protect us," Jin Mo said. Then, Jin Mo released her hug on Shi Feng, crouched down, and began examining the white tiger’s injuries.

Shi Feng hadn’t expected that the white tiger, which he had acquired from the Green-armored War General of the Ling Family, would become so loyal.

Shi Feng, too, crouched down beside Jin Mo to inspect the white tiger’s injuries. Then, from his storage ring, he took out a handful of Pills, meant for healing injuries, and fed them to Little Bai like candies.

These Pills had all been amassed through killing, more killing, and yet more killing.

"You! Why are you feeding Little Bai so many Pills? Don’t just feed them randomly!" Jin Mo hastily questioned Shi Feng as he stuffed a bunch of Pills into the white tiger’s mouth.

"It’s okay," Shi Feng said. "These are all for healing injuries, and they’re completely pure. They can help its injuries recover faster."

Hearing Shi Feng’s words, Jin Mo looked at him skeptically and said, "You better not be fooling me. Little Bai was injured while protecting us. Even though Little Bai is a tiger, we must ensure it recovers."

"Don’t worry, these injuries will heal in a few days," Shi Feng replied.

"Such severe injuries can heal in just a few days?" Jin Mo looked down at Little Bai, who appeared barely alive, then back at Shi Feng with a face still unconvinced.

"Eh?" As she looked at Shi Feng, Jin Mo suddenly realized something, exclaiming in shock, "You! You were hurt so badly, worse than Little Bai, how did you recover so quickly?

And your face was so messed up before, I almost couldn’t bear to look at it. How come it has healed this way now! It looks like your skin is even better than before. How did you do it?"

"Could it be you’ve used a disguise?" Then, an idea struck Jin Mo, and she reached out to tear off the mask on Shi Feng’s face.

Seeing Jin Mo’s hand reaching toward him, Shi Feng moved his head back, avoiding her hand, and said, "Don’t tear at it recklessly. This face of mine is all natural, no disguise!"

"I don’t believe it!" Jin Mo glanced sideways at Shi Feng with a look of disbelief and thought to herself that once she found the right moment, she would tear off that human skin mask to see the truth. Then he could no longer deny it when she exposed him!

Afterward, having fed the white tiger a generous amount of Pills, Shi Feng then picked up the tiger and walked towards a cave. Now that he had healed, the tiger was still injured.

It felt like he had just been released from prison, only for Little Bai to go back in!
