Chapter 525: Chapter 516: The White Tiger Shows Its Might

A massive white figure descended from the sky, "Roar!" With a tiger’s howl, the entire tavern shook, followed by a gust of wind that sent many tables and chairs flying.

"This! This is a Seventh-stage Venerable Level demon beast!"

"Seventh-stage Venerable Level demon beast!"

Upon seeing the white tiger that had suddenly crashed through the roof, cries of alarm erupted in the hall.

The white tiger landed in front of Tai Ke and the five husky men. The once arrogant men, now facing the tiger’s menacing gaze, couldn’t help but involuntarily stagger backward under its imposing aura.

"Oh, haha..." Hearing Shi Feng’s arrogant words and seeing the ferocious white tiger, not only did Tai Ke’s face not show anger but he even started to smile again. Looking past the white tiger, he gazed at Shi Feng ahead and said with a laugh,

"This young master believes that your arrogance must surely come from being part of a great family. You must have been used to lording over others there. But don’t you forget where you are! In this place, no one has ever told this young master to back down! Do you really think that with a Seventh-stage Venerable Level white tiger as your protector, you can act so insolently under the heavens?"

Throughout, Tai Ke maintained a smile while speaking, but as he continued, that smile turned into a cold sneer.

After finishing his speech, Tai Ke stepped toward the white tiger in front of him. As he moved, a cold smirk played on his lips, and he clenched his right fist, brewing an immense force—the power of a Two-star Martial Venerate.

"He, he wants to hurt your white tiger. You should tell your white tiger to run first, he is a Two-star Martial Venerate and your white tiger is not his match! Losing a Seventh-stage Venerable Level white tiger would be a pity." Seeing Tai Ke approaching the white tiger, Little Yi quietly spoke up beside Shi Feng to warn him.

"It’s okay!" Shi Feng shook his head after hearing the girl’s words, responding to her. He obviously saw what Tai Ke intended to do, and in the blink of an eye, he flicked his right hand, and before anyone could notice, a rice grain-sized glimmer of Blood Light sprang from his fingertips, falling silently onto Little Bai’s body.

"Tai Family Fist Technique, Arroganceless Fist!" Tai Ke let out a low shout in his heart, and under everyone’s gaze, he drew near the white tiger. Then, a punch fuelled by the powerful force of a Two-star Martial Venerable, straightforward and without any flourish, lunged straight towards the white tiger’s head.

"Roar!" At that moment, the white tiger also let out an angry roar, followed by an eruption of a scarlet Blood-colored Flame from its body, exuding a chilling evil aura.

"This flame! What is this fire? Why is it the color of blood, and moreover, I can even feel a cold power!" In the hall, someone felt the Blood-colored Flame on the white tiger and exclaimed aloud.

It was then that the white tiger, transformed into a massive Blood-colored Blaze, pounced fiercely towards Tai Ke’s incoming punch. At the same time, the hall was once again filled with the tiger’s roaring.

Instantly after, those in the hall saw the white tiger, now a Blood-colored Blaze, colliding with the punch explosively thrown by Tai Ke, the Tai Family’s Second Young Master. Following that, a pained cry exploded from Tai Ke’s mouth.

In that split second, just a split second, Tai Ke’s fist was ignited by the Blood-colored Flame, spreading swiftly from his fist to his arm, then to his entire body. In that brief moment, Tai Ke became a Blood-colored Fire Man, and under the Blood Flame, he let out a series of anguished and piercing howls.

"This!"

"This!"

"This..."

In the hall, a chorus of shocked exclamations rang out as people stared dumbfounded at the Blood-colored Fire Man and the Blood-colored Flame that the White Tiger had transformed into. Just a moment before, the crowd had seen clearly that this White Tiger was merely at the Seventh-stage Early Stage Venerable Level, with its power corresponding to a Martial Artist in the One-star Martial Venerate Realm.

However, the bizarre Blood-colored Flame on its body collided with Tai Ke, quickly spreading onto him and causing Tai Ke to howl in agony.

"Second... Second Young Master..."

Five stout men behind Tai Ke immediately snapped out of their disbelief and extreme shock, quickly stepping forward to exert all their strength to extinguish the Blood-colored Blaze engulfing Tai Ke.

But just then, as Tai Ke turned into a Blood-colored Flame, the Blood Blaze on his body rapidly swept back towards the five men who had come up to help. In an instant, under the sweep of the Blood-colored Blaze, they became five more Blood-colored Fire Men in the hall, and once more, the air was filled with the sounds of their harrowing and agonized screams.

"This... this..." Not only were the spectators in the hall exclaiming, but even the members of the Tough Mercenary Corps were exchanging looks of horror.

This man’s White Tiger was terrifyingly formidable. Previously, some of them thought that with their Vice Commander, Wenn Sheng, they could scornfully ridicule this man. They believed that with Wenn Sheng around, even if this man had a First-stage Venerable Level White Tiger, it wouldn’t dare to be presumptuous.

But to their surprise, this man’s White Tiger was now torturing Tai Ke, a Two-star Martial Venerate in such painful ways.

The young man in the Three-star Martial Monarch Realm, who had earlier been picky with Shi Feng and wanted to challenge him to a duel, demanding that Shi Feng kneel, now looked at Shi Feng with a panicky expression, worried that Shi Feng might set his White Tiger on him in retaliation.

Listening to the agonized howls of Tai Ke and his five subordinates, one could ascertain from their voices alone that they were undergoing inhuman torture.

Not just the young Three-star Martial Monarch, but also Huu Hao and another youth from the Nine-star Martial Emperor Realm, who had earlier been picking on Shi Feng, began to worry alike. If this man dared to release his White Tiger to burn Tai Ke without hesitation, what’s to stop him from doing the same to them?

And there was Huu Hao, whose face revealed a mix of emotions, pleasure, excitement, and exhilaration. Tai Ke had taken away the woman he loved, which had been a constant pain in his heart. Seeing Tai Ke being tortured as a Blood-colored Fire Man brought immense satisfaction and thrill.

But he too began to worry whether this youthful man, who dare treat Tai Ke with such ruthlessness, might turn his head and treat him in the same manner.

"I never expected your White Tiger to be so powerful!" At that moment, the young girl Little Yi by Shi Feng’s side also looked at the Blood-colored Flame in amazement and said surprisingly, then turned her head once more and whispered to Shi Feng, "Alright, let’s leave it at that. It’s better not to escalate things further."
