CHAPTER 417 FIGHTING AGAINST THE WINGED-TIGER
Suddenly, a legendary beast rushed out. All of the human grand warriors were instantly on their guard,
bodies tensing up and getting ready for an attack. However, they noticed straight away that the Water
Kylin showed no hostility towards them. As they felt that there was no harm that could befall them, they
as well had no intention to kill him.
"That's a legendary beast!"
"That's a Kylin!"
All the grand warriors were startled. They could clearly feel that the being in front of them was different
from the grand demonic monster standing before them, as they could sense the aura of a legendary
beast. Truly, the Water Kylin was emitting a dense aura of the bloodline of the legendary beast. It was
easy to spot, as it was far more pure than the grand demonic monster.
Instantly, the four-star grand demonic monster turned sinister in appearance. The aura of the Water
Kylin made him squirm, feeling uncomfortable due to the suppressing force that was inflicted upon him
from the real legendary beast.
"You, the true descendant of Kylin, why do you help those contemptible humans?" the sub-specific
descendent winged-tiger exclaimed with an overwhelmingly nefarious aura.
"You have no right to tell me how to behave. Who do you think you are?" the Water Kylin sneered while
demonstrating his unmatched speed and strength.
He showed it in the form of the strong momentum that was derived from a sense of superiority of the
real legendary beast. When faced with the impure descendants of the legendary beasts, it became
particularly strong. Such a sense of superiority would naturally reveal the true strength that was hidden
underneath the surface.
Meanwhile, the humans who were listening to their exchange came to the realization that the Water
Kylin had come here to help them. However, that made no sense. They looked at each other with
confused expressions, not understanding why the Water Kylin would come to their aid.
"My lord, may I ask why you came to help us?"
a three-star grand warrior asked as politely as he could. To show his respect, he even saluted the
Water Kylin. This was not done because he thought that the status of the Water Kylin was beyond
theirs, but rather to follow common etiquette for polite and respectful behavior. After all, the Water Kylin
was still a beast and for that reason not above them in status.
"I come here at my master's command. So, save your lecture. Even if my master didn't ask me to do
that, I would still come and teach a lesson to the subspecific descendant," the Water Kylin replied
coldly, still staring at the grand demonic monster.
"Roar!"
the subspecific descendant of a winged-tiger suddenly roared loudly, the sound waves making
everything around the monster shake. His evil aura, changing its form as if it was a weapon, suddenly
surged high into the sky. It was apparent that he was truly enraged.
"You bastard, don't get carried away by your sense of superiority just because of your pure bloodline. I
will kill you, you hired thug. You will find out what real power is!" the winged-tiger bellowed as he was
ready to launch his attacks. Thorns appeared on his paws, reflecting light and glittering due to their
composition of ice light.
"My lord, it all depends on you," another three-star grand warrior said while saluting the Water Kylin,
right before the battle was about to begin. The eyes of the grand warriors were full of expectations,
their faces eager in anticipation.
They all wondered who was more powerful, the four-star subspecific descendant legendary beast or
the three-star true descendant legendary beast with pure bloodline.
"Don't rely on me! Fight with me! You dumbass!"
the Water Kylin shouted angrily. The grand warriors were all taken by surprise at his words. They
looked at each other with uncertainty.
"What are you waiting for?" the Water Kylin yelled at them in anger.
"This... We thought that you would fight against the four-star winged-tiger alone so that you could fully
display your power," one grand warrior offered after a somewhat awkward silence.
"Damn it. Surely I could kill it alone, but what I value is the efficiency, not the vanity of it all. Come fight
with me. Let's kill the subspecific descendant together," the Water Kylin commanded, pinning them all
down with a stern glare. He somehow seemed taller and more imposing than just moments ago. His
awe-inspiring appearance was a sight to behold.
"Well. Okay. We will fight with you to help you kill the four-star winged-tiger," one of the grand warriors
finally replied. The other grand warriors, without saying a word, all nodded in agreement. Frankly, they
hadn't expected this but they were impressed by the Water Kylin's words. That was why they all
changed their stances, getting ready to join the fight.
Thunder cracked.
The Water Kylin led twenty grand warriors into the fight. Together, they rushed to the four-star winged-
tiger. Among them, Hailey made sure to lag behind them and had no intentions to launch an attack at
present.
The fierce roars kept echoing around the place, making even the sky shake in their intensity. The
subspecific descendant was so powerful that, even though he was encircled by so many grand
warriors, he gave no sign of defeat. He wouldn't give up so easily.
In the end, the Water Kylin played the leading role in resisting the winged-tiger's attacks. If it wasn't for
him, the grand warriors would have all been doomed.
"Gosh. Darren, your legendary beast is so powerful. He can even rival the four-star winged-tiger."
"That's right. Even if he didn't get help from those three-star grand warriors, he would still be well-
matched with the four-star winged-tiger,"
Timothy and Abelard said with delighted voices, almost talking over each other in their excitement.
Their eyes lit up, while their faces betrayed their giddiness.
"I don't think so. I guess the winged-tiger hasn't shown his full scope of powers yet. The Water Kylin
could be weaker than him," Darren retorted, since he was well aware what the Water Kylin's power
level was.
Fact was that this was a life-and-death fight between the two opponents with incredible powers at high
levels. What that meant was simply that every single disadvantage, even the smallest mistake, could
result in death.
"Based on your understanding, do you think the Water Kylin and the group of grand warriors will win?"
Timothy asked, feeling some trepidation now.
"I don't know. Let's wait and see," Darren replied simply.
The result could not be judged before the end of the fight. Darren didn't know which honed skills the
winged-tiger would use and if he was even stronger than he had let on so far. It was impossible to tell.
In the sky, evil auras were forming into paw shadows that all of a sudden shot towards the Water Kylin
and the grand warriors. Meanwhile, blue lightning bestrewed the space between them and collided with
the paw shadows.
"Humph. You are just a bastard. How dare you pretend to be a true descendant legendary beast?"
the winged-tiger growled. He noticed that the aura of the Thunder Beast was being released from the
Water Kylin. Seeing that, he was absolutely convinced that the Water Kylin was most likely just a
hybrid, and thus nothing special. This realization put him in a good mood, feeling more assured that he
had nothing to fear.
"How dare you taunt me? I will beat you and leave you pulverized!" the Water Kylin bellowed, feeling
utterly provoked by the subspecific descendant legendary beast. His eyes showed a dangerous glint. In
an instant, the rage he felt deep inside turned outward and transformed into boundless strikes of blue
lightning. The lightning shot up and violently darted straight at the winged-tiger.
In sync with the blue lightning, the grand warriors didn't waste a second to cast formidable domains in
order to oppress the winged-tiger. It was a sight to behold and clearly demonstrate their martial skills
with their Divine Weapons to everyone watching.
"You damn beasts, go to hell!"
the winged-tiger shouted, his good mood gone and replaced by fury once more. The golden armor
around him exploded and his body expanded suddenly. He looked even more ferocious.
His sharp claws ceaselessly shot out and started scattering the forceful attacks. By doing this, even the
blue lightning of the Water Kylin couldn't touch him, much less hurt him.
"Humph. Try my Natal Divine Bead!" the Water Kylin roared, not one to give up so easily. He spat out a
bead, one half painted blue, while the other half was covered with electric lines. It took only a few
seconds for the power of the Water Kylin to get enhanced to its limit.
Boom!
The Water Kylin ran towards the winged-tiger, not slowing down until he hit his target. Since the natal
force was released continuously from the bead, his power was immediately raised to the level of a four-
star grand warrior.
Now that they were on more even ground, the winged-tiger and the Water Kylin started fighting each
other in a fierce and violent way.
With a fight this powerful going on, though the space they were in was stable, tiny cracks started to
appear.
Since the fight had been upgraded between the two legendary beasts, nobody could match them
anymore. Both had the power of a four-star grand warrior, so the other grand warriors could not afford
to intervene. They stood no chance. However, what they could do was to watch intently and find the
winged-tiger's flaws. Upon finding them, they could attack him with the intention of disturbing and
irritating him.
The intense fight kept going for a long time with neither one showing signs of slowing down. Almost
eight hours had already passed. Now, the Water Kylin had been injured, and the winged-tiger wasn't
faring much better, clearly bruised and bleeding as well. However, the wounds of the winged-tiger
seemed to be less severe than the Water Kylin's.
"Damn it. If the fight continues, I'm afraid we will lose," Timothy cursed, the worry he felt clearly etched
on his face. He knew the situation was bad for them.
"Relax. The great beauty Hailey is still waiting over there, after all this time," Abelard assured his friend
in a confident voice.
However, Darren didn't say a word. He figured that even Hailey couldn't be able to turn the tables. If the
fight went on like this, it would be easier for the winged-tiger to attack and kill one of those grand
warriors.
"They will certainly suffer a crushing defeat unless they use the Sky Piercing Array," Darren said
anxiously, his cool mask slipping. NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.
"Young man, I don't think so. If the woman joins the fight, the winged-tiger will fail." Suddenly a towering
voice boomed behind them.
Hearing the voice, Darren, Timothy and Abelard all broke out in a cold sweat that raised goosebumps
on their backs. Their hearts started racing. Slowly, they turned around.
Standing there was a handsome young man in his twenties, with a light smile gracing his lips. He
looked at the three friends with mild curiosity.
Even though the smile looked kind and inviting, a terrible sense of foreboding loomed over them,
making their hearts feel heavy.
