Chapter 896 One Hammer to the Head, Resurrection Divine Power
"not good!"
Luo Xue moved her hands violently, releasing all the sword energy she had accumulated at once. A giant sword slashed down with overwhelming force, shattering countless rocks.
She keenly sensed the danger, and after that move, she slipped away without hesitation.
But the next second, an extremely dangerous aura suddenly appeared beside her.
"Little thing, don't underestimate me."
A voice chilling to the bone rang out, and Tiger King suddenly appeared in front of Luo Xue, its sharp claws slashing down like a rainbow.
At the critical moment, a huge hammer flew straight in, carrying unparalleled force, and struck the Tiger King's shoulder.
Luo Xue took the opportunity to retreat and quickly moved away.
Pang Jinchui also stepped into the air and instantly appeared to the side of the hammer, gripping the handle with one hand and swinging it upwards again.
Whoosh!
Tiger King stepped aside to avoid the hammer blow, but the attack had seriously injured him as well.
He looked at his shoulder, which was smashed to pieces, bone fragments shattered and embedded in his flesh, blood gushing out—a truly gruesome sight.
Pang Jinchui and Tiger King locked eyes, and Pang Jinchui parted his lips slightly, uttering only two words: "Again."
"you wanna die!"
The Tiger King was completely enraged. His figure transformed into a black wind, and his sharp claws kept striking out. Combined with his agile speed, Pang Jinchui was immediately overwhelmed and could only use his protective true energy to defend himself.
In just a dozen breaths, the two had already exchanged hundreds of blows, while Luo Xue, who was in the distance, was completely unable to intervene.
She could only fly up first, longsword in hand, ready to finish off the enemy at any moment.
Immediately afterwards, Pang Jinchui and Hu Huang clashed again. The former was sent flying hundreds of meters backward, while the latter's severely injured front shoulder had actually begun to heal!
Luo Xue's eyes twitched wildly at the sight of this terrifying self-healing power.
How could there be such a troublesome demon!
Fortunately, she came from a prominent family and possessed some treasures. Seeing the situation was dire, she immediately took out a talisman, from which countless golden rays shot out and shone upon the Tiger King.
The next second, the Tiger King's speed slowed down significantly, as if it had been suppressed by the talisman.
This is a talisman specifically designed to suppress demons. The Tiger King is exceptionally powerful, but its true form is also a demon. Its demonic energy is affected by the talisman, and its once-proud speed immediately becomes a weakness.
Pang Jinchui seized the opportunity, stood up, swung his hammer with both hands, and swept it across the ground once again.
The hammer's shadow magnified, unleashing a devastating force.
At this moment, even the Tiger King dared not confront it head-on. He quickly turned around, and the stripes on his back immediately transformed into golden demonic light, blocking the hammer shadow.
This is one of the Tiger King's innate divine abilities, called Heavenly Tiger Divine Light, which has extremely strong defensive power.
One hammer blow, and it still didn't shatter his defensive light!
Pang Jinchui frowned; this was the first time he had encountered such a powerful demon opponent.
His hammer blow just now, if it had been any other seventh-level peak demon emperor, would have at least been severely injured, if not killed. He never expected it to be so easily neutralized.
Of course, it wasn't easy in reality.
Although the Tiger King's innate supernatural power is strong, it cannot be used casually. Just now, the markings on his back have faded, and he will not be able to use it again for a while.
Therefore, he must take advantage of the defensive aura being in effect to quickly eliminate these two humans.
With this in mind, he decided to start with the weakest one, and his figure immediately flew out, heading straight for Luo Xue in the distance.
The latter was clearly prepared, his whole body bursting with sword light as he transformed himself into a sword and charged forward.
Such a sudden burst of speed was naturally achieved using a secret technique.
Not only that, but her true spirit also helped, which enhanced the speed in every way.
Tiger King missed its target once and was about to get angry when the giant hammer below swung down.
He quickly dodged, and at the same time, he used both claws to smash down with all his might, bringing the hammer down directly.
Pang Jinchui felt a tremendous force and tried to steady himself, but Tiger King had already swept his foot over, raising a sharp blade.
Pang Jinchui quickly activated her protective true energy, and at the same time, a hammer rose up behind her, which was her true spirit, named the World-Shaking Hammer.
The attack, shielded by the hammer's shadow, only shattered her protective aura but did not harm her body.
But Pang Jinchui was still sent flying backwards by the impact.
The tiger roared and pounced.
Seeing that things were going badly, Pang Jinchui forcibly stabilized his body and flew upwards at the same time.
"You can't escape!"
Tiger King roared, made a sharp turn in the air, and went straight upward.
These two damn humans actually thought they could escape right under my nose? They're dreaming!
In an instant, the Tiger King chased the tiger all the way from the bottom of the cliff to the middle of the cliff.
It wasn't until this moment that he finally realized something was wrong.
"There's another aura? Who is it?"
He noticed Ye Kang's presence and slowed down.
But it was too late; he had already walked into the trap that Ye Kang had carefully set for him.
"Array up!"
With a loud shout, layers of formations rose up, completely enveloping the Tiger King.
That's right. To ensure absolute safety, Ye Kang didn't just set up one formation, but a full four!
The Four Symbols Heavenly Demon Formation was the first to attack, and the four divine beasts rushed out almost without hesitation to surround and attack the Tiger Emperor.
Above the Four Symbols Heavenly Demon Formation, there is also a Divine Swamp Formation that slows down True Immortals.
As the name suggests, this formation is meant to slow everything down.
Ye Kang had thought it through clearly. As long as it was a mountain lord, its speed would not be slow. Therefore, limiting its speed was of paramount importance, and the slowing formation was the most suitable and the most powerful auxiliary formation that Ye Kang could set up.
Of course, this is not the end. Behind the True Immortal Slowing Divine Swamp Formation, there is another protective formation called Clear Breeze and Bright Moon.
This is also an auxiliary formation, but it's used to amplify the power of those within it.
A gentle breeze blew by, and the bright moon shone down. Pang Jinchui and Luo Xue's true energy suddenly began to recover, their speed and perception greatly increased, and even their strength and blood energy began to rise.
The comprehensive upgrade allowed Pang Jinchui to immediately return to his peak condition.
Above these three great formations is the formation personally overseen by Ye Kang using the Entangling Moon Heavenly Silk, which is his most proficient in the Inverted Formation.
This formation is incredibly effective, but against a powerful figure like the Tiger Emperor, it can only succeed by striking unexpectedly. Therefore, Ye Kang held back from unleashing it.
Even just three large formations were enough to leave everyone speechless.
"Wow! When did this guy set up so many formations?!"
At the entrance to the blessed land, all the spectators could no longer sit still, and some of the weaker cultivators even exclaimed in surprise.
Even the Holy Emperor and the Imperial Preceptor were slightly taken aback.
"This young man is truly amazing. How did he manage to set up these formations in just two days? And how could they be so interconnected, with each formation linked to the next, with almost no flaws? It's truly astonishing!"
Even the usually composed Imperial Advisor lost his composure at this moment, astonished by Ye Kang's mastery of formations.
Most importantly, even with the Imperial Advisor's mastery of formations, he could only recognize two of the major formations: the Gentle Breeze and Bright Moon Protection Formation and the final Inverted Formation, which was used as a killing move.
He had never even heard of the remaining two formations.
This kid truly has an enviable and terrifying opportunity.
At this moment, all eyes were focused on Ye Kang, and a variety of emotions, including shock, doubt, and anticipation, were on display.
Jiang Yueqing was the most nervous at this moment. Although he did not expect that such a formation genius would appear in Wuyang City, since he had caught the Holy Emperor's eye, he didn't need to care about anything else. He only needed to know that he came from Wuyang City.
"This boy is far too confident. If he makes a mistake, Xue'er might be in danger..."
Luo Youmin was probably the most worried person on the field, and also the one who most hoped they could succeed.
After all, Luo Xue was one of them, and if they failed, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Meanwhile, the group from Wuyue City had even more complicated emotions.
On one hand, Pang Jinchui made her appearance, demonstrating her terrifying combat power.
But on the other hand, she was actually listening to Ye Kang! What kind of nonsense is this?
The group was forced into a quantum superposition state of showing face and losing face.
At the same time, Ye Kang's eyes gleamed with a blue light, and he used his Unfettered Azure Eyes to their fullest extent, staring intently at the big tiger.
The Four Symbols Heavenly Demon Formation was activated at full power from the start. Ye Kang spared no expense, frantically burning spirit crystals to bring the formation's power to its peak.
The four divine beasts brandished their claws and attacked from all directions, their various attacks almost filling the sky, leaving the onlookers overwhelmed.
But the Three-Eyed Tiger King remained completely calm. With a turn of his body, he summoned countless yellow spikes out of thin air.
The piercing blades struck, shattering the Azure Dragon and White Tiger.
Then, Xuanwu charged forward, but it was forced to crash into the Tiger King's innate defensive ability. A series of booming sounds filled the air, and Xuanwu was actually bounced back.
The only one that achieved anything significant was the Vermilion Bird, whose attack power was the most formidable.
Flames blazed high in the sky as the Vermilion Bird descended straight down, its countless divine flames burning and continuously suppressing the Tiger Emperor's demonic aura.
However, within the blessed land, Ye Kang dared not use the Heavenly Fire, which resulted in the Vermilion Bird Fire being significantly less powerful.
However, it still caused the Tiger King a lot of trouble. He had to divert his energy to resist the Vermilion Bird Fire. On the other hand, the Azure Dragon and White Tiger, which had been shattered, instantly reformed and recklessly spewed out various light waves.
The tiger king swung its claws to block the attack, but then had to face even more attacks.
This is the power of the Four Symbols Heavenly Demon Formation. The essence of the Four Symbols Divine Beasts lies in the formation. As long as the formation is not broken, they can rise again even after being killed a thousand times.
This endless barrage of attacks immediately enraged the Three-Eyed Tiger King. He roared, and his third eye between his eyebrows suddenly opened, shooting out a terrifying golden light that streaked down from the sky.
At this moment, Ye Kang was completely dumbfounded.
The Four Symbols Heavenly Demon Formation was broken instantly!
Indeed, the destructive power of this golden light was beyond comprehension; it shattered the foundation of the formation instantly upon its slash through the air.
The four divine beasts completely vanished, and upon seeing this, the Tiger King burst into laughter.
"Foolish humans, how could I, the Emperor, be trapped by such a trivial trick? You greatly underestimate my bloodline!"
At this moment, the Grand Preceptor, who was observing the battle, slowly spoke.
"This is the innate bloodline of the Three-Eyed Tiger King. It should have been awakened from an ancient mythical beast. The third eye between its eyebrows contains all its supernatural powers. The beam of light just now was one of its supernatural powers, but it was not its most powerful one."
"What! There's something even more powerful?"
Luo Youmin was startled and couldn't help but ask.
The Imperial Advisor smiled slightly, but did not continue speaking. Instead, he looked at the light screen.
Within the light screen, the shattering of the Four Symbols Heavenly Demon Formation did not cause Ye Kang to panic. He slightly moved his fingers, and the second layer of the True Immortal Slowing Divine Swamp Formation suddenly exerted its power. A wave of rules descended, directly causing the Tiger Emperor to stagger.
And it was this very moment that gave Pang Jinchui, who had been watching from the sidelines, an opportunity.
Without hesitation, she raised the hammer, swiftly approached the Tiger King, and unleashed her full power. Her arm muscles bulged, and the hammer shimmered with crimson true energy. It was clear that her True Spirit World-Shaking Hammer had been directly attached to the hammer, and the two hammers combined, doubling their power.
Tiger King's pupils contracted sharply as he sensed a terrifying killing intent.
His intuition told him that he couldn't take this blow!
But just as he was about to dodge, Ye Kang attacked again.
The True Immortal Slowing Divine Swamp Array continued to exert its power, with countless array plates rotating simultaneously, and an even more powerful slowing force descended.
Tiger King's eyes were bloodshot with rage, but he could only watch helplessly as the hammer fell.
Boom!
Flesh and blood burst open, skin torn and bones shattered; the Tiger King was actually smashed to pieces by this one blow!
"Excellent! As expected of the number one genius in Wuyue City!"
Wu Yuecheng's team leader was triumphant and cheered loudly.
Just as the others were about to agree, they saw that the pile of minced meat was pulled up by some kind of golden light. To everyone's astonishment, the minced meat suddenly disappeared, and then at the edge of the formation, the Tiger King's body rapidly condensed and reappeared in an instant!
He is resurrected!
Not only that, but he didn't have a single scratch on his body!
"How is this possible! That hammer blow from Xiao Pang just now should have shattered this beast's body and soul!" The people of Wuyue City couldn't believe what they were seeing.
Only then did the Imperial Advisor speak calmly, answering Luo Youmin's question.
"This is the Three-Eyed Tiger's strongest supernatural power. His three eyes represent his three lives. If one is killed, he can be resurrected at the cost of another eye. The inspectors he killed in the past died from this underhanded trick."
"He actually possesses such powerful supernatural abilities. It's fortunate that this beast didn't reach the Returning to Truth Realm..."
Many people secretly rejoiced, thinking that if this guy were to become a True Demon Saint, who knows what kind of storm he would cause.
At this moment, Pang Jinchui and Luo Xue were also shocked within the formation. They never expected that the tiger would actually come back to life.
Only Ye Kang remained calm, showing no surprise whatsoever.
He simply muttered to himself, "My first life."
That's right, Ye Kang had already guessed it from the task given by the system.
To truly kill this tiger, it would probably take three attempts.
That's why Ye Kang set up so many layers of formations, all in preparation for his three lives.
Meanwhile, Tiger King on the other side has also fully recovered its fighting strength.
However, he had lost sight in his left eye; this was the price of resurrection—one eye equals one life.
He was extremely angry at this moment, wishing he could devour everyone present.
But what he hated most was not the super-strong woman who blew his head off.
It was that bastard who hid in the shadows, setting up the formation like a coward. If it weren't for him, I wouldn't have lost my life!
He had planned to launch a surprise attack during his resurrection and take down the super-strong woman first.
But the creature in the shadows seemed to know what he was thinking, and kept targeting him with that strange, slowing power.
Therefore, the Tiger King had no choice but to retreat to the edge. He looked up at the sky, his eyes filled with ferocity.
"You bastard, I will skin you alive!"
