The extraordinary journey begins with the Ouroboros Stele.

Chapter 165 Second Brother, Bring Your Junior Brother Back

Inside the cave, Lin Ye leaned against the wall to get up, his internal organs churning with blood and qi.

"Hoichi!!!"

The black tiger roared to the sky, unleashing a web of black lightning.

The next instant, it suddenly lowered its head, its tiger-like eyes locking onto the forest, and pounced forward fiercely.

Lin Ye felt the oppressive aura coming towards him, his eyes suddenly sharpened, and without backing down, he went straight to meet it.

Step forward, charge, stomp the ground, and throw a powerful punch!

The fist, imbued with the true energy of tribulation lightning, shook the air within the entire cavern, as if it had been instantly filled with some kind of liquid, causing eardrums to swell and a sense of weightlessness to arise.

"The sound was like a mine exploding in the sea, and Lin Ye's fist was aimed straight at Black Tiger's face."

The black tiger's eyes were bloodshot, revealing a cruel, human-like smile, its canine teeth exposed.

"Thump!"

With a muffled thud, the fist collided with Black Tiger's brow, unleashing a burst of twisted black lightning.

Lin Ye's true qi surged forth, but he discovered that his tribulation lightning true qi could not penetrate the black tiger's body at all.

The thought had barely crossed my mind when a terrifying recoil force struck.

His expression suddenly changed, and he turned his body in one swift motion, leaping over the black tiger's head.

"tread."

With a crisp thud, Lin Ye crouched down, but before he could regain his balance, a terrifying aura emanated from behind him.

A sharp aura suddenly arrived from behind, and even without turning around, Lin Ye could still feel the air behind his head being torn apart.

Without a moment's hesitation, he lunged forward.

"Whoosh!"

The black tiger's claws swept across, tearing Lin Ye's back and splattering a trail of blood.

Having failed in his attack, Black Tiger stood there, somewhat puzzled, raising the paw he had just used to attack Lin Ye.

It couldn't understand why it didn't just tear the person into pieces.

On the other side, Lin Ye rolled over and leaned against the wall, panting heavily.

The gap between top-level True Qi and the peak of Hard Qigong is still too large.

At present, he can at most be said to have reached the threshold of the peak of hard qigong in terms of defensive power, but his overall strength is still between the top-level true qigong and the peak of hard qigong.

The black thunder beast before them possessed physical strength alone that rivaled that of a peak-level hard qigong master, and was even considered extremely powerful among peak-level hard qigong masters.

He is far beyond his current ability to contend with.

While Hei Lei was observing his tiger claws, Lin Ye's mind raced as he pondered a way to break the deadlock.

Currently, there are still five potential points left. If all of them are allocated, it might be possible to possess the power to contend with Black Thunder.

But he was already seriously injured at this moment, and even if he added more points, it wouldn't change his physical condition.

Immediately, his gaze settled on the backpack not far away.

He has no choice but to devour the evil spirits; the Wood Qi Pure Spirit Evil Spirit can enhance his vitality and self-healing ability.

With the added power boost from the extra points, there might still be a glimmer of hope.

Having made his decision, he didn't hesitate any longer and rushed towards his backpack.

"Whoosh!"

Black Tiger moved like a ghost, instantly blocking his path and pressing down with his palm.

Lin Ye's heart tightened. He had no intention of taking the attack head-on. Instead, he slid his body under the black tiger's belly.

He ripped open the backpack zipper with a ripping sound, crushed the jade box, and inhaled deeply.

A cooling sensation instantly spread throughout my body, and my injuries began to heal rapidly.

"roar!!!"

Black Tiger turned to look at the forest behind him, his face showing anger. He lashed out with his tail, making a loud cracking sound against the rock wall and leaving a white mark.

It leaned back slightly, bending its legs to gather strength.

Lin Ye felt a chill run down his spine as he saw the Black Tiger's change in form, enveloped by an overwhelming sense of threat.

Without the slightest hesitation, he darted to the side.

The next instant, a surge of black lightning roared in, and the black tiger sliced ​​through the rock wall with a claw, its angry face turned to face Lin Ye.

The feeling of being targeted by a top predator sent chills down Lin Ye's spine, and a sense of impending death rose in his heart.

"Monument! Give me some points!"

In an instant, all five potential points were channeled into the Strength attribute.

An overwhelming surge of power erupted from the depths of his body, frantically pouring into his limbs and bones.

Feeling his body at its peak, Lin Ye didn't pause for a moment and threw a punch.

"Thump!"

The fist slammed down with a muffled thud. Even though there was nothing under the fist, it had an eerie, ferocious impact.

"Sizzle~~"

The black lightning formed from the true qi of the tribulation thunder rippled past, and a black tiger appeared.

Looking back at the spot where the black tiger had been, its lifelike form gradually faded and dissipated into lightning.

"roar!!!"

The black tiger roared, its fierce power erupting against Lin Ye's fist.

Lin Ye's body trembled. Even though he had increased his strength attribute by a full 0.5, he was still not quite there yet.

His body flew backward, crashing heavily against the rock wall, and then sliding down it.

Coughing out two mouthfuls of blood, Lin Ye wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, but instead of showing any pain, he was quite excited.

The injuries weren't serious, which means that, at least in a general sense, he and the Black Thunder were already at the same level.

He has already reached the pinnacle of hard qigong!

He straightened up, looked at Hei Leiji across from him with a hint of apprehension, and grinned.

"I define you as a bear."

As soon as he finished speaking, a strange power surged within him, and he slightly opened his arms.

"Then, let's begin the final round."

As soon as he finished speaking, the two figures, one human and one tiger, simultaneously transformed into black lightning and disappeared.

Inside the cave, lights would occasionally flash for a moment, and the figures of a man and a tiger would disappear in an instant, like phantoms.

After an unknown amount of time, a figure enveloped in black lightning shot out.

It crashed violently into the rock wall, shattering the lightning around it and revealing Lin Ye's figure.

The exposed skin was covered with cracks, caused by the explosive force that tore the flesh apart.

His body slid down the rock wall to the ground, half-lying down and raising his head to look at the black tiger slowly walking towards him.

His entire body was enveloped in lightning, and the black lightning on his shoulders spread out like wings, exuding an awe-inspiring power.

I miscalculated; this monster actually has a second boss phase.

In this state, Black Tiger's strength had risen to an unimaginable level.

"踏", "踏".

The heavy, muffled stomping sounds seemed to pound on people's hearts.

Lin Ye propped himself up, leaned against the rock wall, and sat on the ground. His head was slightly tilted, and he smiled weakly.

"Am I going to die?"

As Black Tiger approached step by step, she felt his warm breath.

Lin Ye felt inexplicably calmed down, and many images floated into his mind, but they were all somewhat blurry.

"Son, do you want to eat something?"

"Hey! Young man..."

"It's not that I've become rich, it's that our family..."

"Old Lin, let's go..."

"Kobayashi, you need to be careful and restrain yourself..."

"Senior brother, I like..."

5

"Junior brother, your senior sister is here for you..."

"Lin'er, remember this well..."

59

"Lin'er...don't sleep."

A faint, ethereal voice appeared and disappeared, seemingly from a great distance, yet also as if right beside one's ear.

Lin Ye opened his eyes with difficulty, and a red light illuminated his pupils.

Looking at the object floating in front of him, he muttered to himself, "Medicine..."

...make.

Before he could figure out what was going on, the medicine emitted a dazzling red light, illuminating the entire cave.

A towering figure emerged from the medicine token, growing larger as it approached the black tiger in front of it, and seemed to glance back at it for a fleeting moment.

Looking at the figure, Lin Ye stammered, "Master... Father..."

As soon as he finished speaking, his head lolled to the side, and he completely lost consciousness.

The moment he lost consciousness, the imposing figure threw a punch.

An unknown force stirred the spiritual energy within the cave, causing it to take shape and be dyed red by the crimson light, forming a phantom image of a crimson whale.

Feeling the power emanating from him, Black Tiger was terrified and fled in panic.

But it was too late. The phantom of the red whale swallowed it whole and disappeared into the ground, as if it had crashed into the sea.

"Bang!"

The black tiger's figure fell to the ground, showing no signs of injury, but it was already lifeless.

Coast City, Red Whale Main Building, Gatehouse.

Nangong Lie, who was sitting in the main seat of the hall, suddenly opened his eyes.

"snort!"

A cold snort shook the air, causing almost the entire headquarters to tremble.

"Second brother, go to the Thunderfire Herb Gathering Ground and bring your junior brother back."

"Kill them all, those who have no eyes!"
