Chapter 126: Taming the Flying Sky Tiger

Chapter 126: Taming the Soaring Tiger

Although he knew the black tiger had not given chase again, Lin Xing still dared not let his guard down and continued his headlong dash.

Running with all his might, Lin Xing crossed over seven or eight large mountains in just half an hour. He was now over a hundred kilometers from the battle site, which should be relatively safe.

Lin Xing finally began to slow his pace. He also felt a bit tired. If he used up all his energy and ran into trouble, he'd be defenseless. Someone as smart as him would never let that happen.

Not only that, Lin Xing felt the wounds on his body burning with pain. At the same time, the place where his chest bone was broken throbbed with every step he took.

Lin Xing used his internal energy to stop the bleeding and set the broken bone, only then did he feel a little better.

Lin Xing continued forward.

Passing through a narrow valley, the scenery here was completely different, as if he had arrived in the Jiangnan region in the warm spring of March. The air was fresh and sweetly cloying, the verdant grass stretched into the distance, and flowers were in full bloom. In the distance was a small river with clear water, where he could see colorful, strangely shaped little fish swimming freely. At a glance, it seemed like he had arrived in a fairyland.

Although this place was like a fairyland, Lin Xing knew the magical beasts here each had their own territory. This place was likely the territory of another powerful beast.

Lin Xing cautiously walked in but did not sense the aura of any magical beast. This eased his mind a little. Ahead was a small river with clear water.

Looking at his tattered clothes and the bloodstains all over his body, Lin Xing said nothing and jumped into the river to wash up.

After cleaning his body, Lin Xing jumped out, changed into a new set of clothes from his spatial ring, and continued walking deeper into the canyon.

Reaching the center of the canyon, Lin Xing didn't find anything suspicious, but he still dared not relax in the slightest. After a while, Lin Xing rushed out.

Now Lin Xing also knew his injuries were severe and he needed to find a place to recover. Otherwise, in this perilous Magical Beast Forest, with his injured body, forget about a beast like the black tiger, even a seventh-level magical beast would be more than he could handle.

After searching the mountain peaks for a long time, Lin Xing finally found a suitable place to recuperate. It was a cave on a cliff face.

The outside of the cave was covered with weeds. If Lin Xing hadn't looked so carefully, he wouldn't have discovered it.

Lin Xing leaped up, parted the weeds outside, and walked in.

The inside of the cave wasn't very large. It was two meters high, two meters wide, and five meters deep. Although not very big, it was very suitable for recovery.

According to Lin Xing's observation, the entrance was overgrown with weeds. Usually, no magical beasts would have come here, so he didn't have to worry about any barging in during his recuperation.

Under the monstrous recovery power of the Nine Yang Divine Art, Lin Xing's injuries were completely healed after more than ten days. The broken bone in his chest was also fully recovered.

During his recovery, Lin Xing made a decision!

He had come here partly out of curiosity and partly to improve his strength. Enhancing his own power was currently the most important thing.

And the black tiger was the stepping stone Lin Xing had chosen! His previous fierce fight had given him a preliminary understanding of its attack methods.

This lowered the risk for him.

After his injuries healed, Lin Xing headed back toward the area where the black tiger had appeared last time. Generally, magical beasts wouldn't leave their own territory. Its previous appearance there proved it was the black tiger's domain!

Lin Xing searched for several days in a row but couldn't find any trace of the black tiger, which made him a bit frustrated.

On this day, Lin Xing came to a mountain top. He glanced and saw a cave, from which a powerful aura emanated.

Lin Xing was delighted, knowing he had found the right place, so he shouted, "Black cat! Come out and face your death!"

The black tiger was sleeping inside. Lin Xing's loud shout immediately woke it. Disturbed from its sleep, the black tiger was furious. With an angry roar, it flew out of the cave and saw Lin Xing challenging it at the entrance.

Seeing Lin Xing, the black tiger was first stunned, then overjoyed. It wanted to kill this human who dared to break its foot at every moment!

Now that Lin Xing had delivered himself to its doorstep, the black tiger couldn't help but be happy.

With a loud roar, the black tiger flapped its wings, a black shadow flashed, and it appeared in front of Lin Xing, its sharp claws swiping out.

This move again! Lin Xing sneered, turned, and dodged away.

Thus, the man and the tiger fought once more.

However, after all, the difference in strength was too great. Soon, the balance of the battle tilted toward the black tiger. Lin Xing was being abused again!

Spitting out another mouthful of blood, Lin Xing was injured again! Feeling he was no match for the black tiger before him, Lin Xing turned and ran. Thanks to his previous experience, he escaped very smoothly this time! Before long, he had fled far away, escaping the black tiger's pursuit, and returned to his recovery cave.

After his injuries healed, Lin Xing sought out the black tiger again and was defeated again. However, this time he lasted a bit longer. After being injured, he immediately escaped! After recovering, he went back again.

Battle after battle, his strength improved time and again. In the fights with the black tiger, he gradually progressed from being abused at the beginning to fighting to a draw.

Lin Xing's strength had now reached the peak of the Great Sword Master level, just one step away from breaking through to the Saint Level!! But his current power already surpassed that of ordinary Saint Level experts!

"Bang! Bang!" With several loud noises, Lin Xing laughed heartily, riding on the black tiger's back. His fists, imbued with immense power, pounded the black tiger repeatedly.

Now the situation had completely reversed. It was the black tiger being abused by Lin Xing. With every battle against Lin Xing, the black tiger was shocked! Because Lin Xing's progress after each fight was enormous. This couldn't help but astonish the black tiger.

With a "thud," the black tiger was smashed hard onto the ground. Flapping its wings, it wanted to escape, but Lin Xing was already standing on its body, and his fists came crashing down again.

Lin Xing's current strength was just right—just enough to make the black tiger suffer terribly, but not enough to inflict serious injuries!

After a long time, the black tiger finally couldn't take it anymore. Lying on the ground, it actually made a gesture of surrender, looking pitifully at Lin Xing.
