Chapter 996: Hanging by a Thread

Old man Hou stood in the cavern dumbstruck . He was no longer as complacent as he seemed before, and deep fear completely enveloped him .

As a Saint Ruler, old man Hou was extremely knowledgeable . He knew quite a lot regarding Class 7 Magical Beasts . They were naturally more powerful than humans of the same cultivation level . The chances of a human’s victory were pitiful if they fought a magical beast with a similar cultivation level . He was a Saint Ruler, but he did not possess any powerful battle skills . All he could do was probably flee if he came across a Class 7 Magical Beast, and he could tell from the roar that the magical beast hurrying over was far stronger than him . This made it even more difficult for him to deal with the current situation .

“How is this possible? How can another Class 7 Magical Beast appear here?” Old man Hou murmured with a trembling voice . Without any hesitation, he no longer bothered to kill Rum Guinness in the cavern . Instead, he turned into a blur and fled at his greatest speed .

At the same time, the stunned Heaven Saint Masters outside returned to their senses . They immediately began to flee as fast as they could without anyone’s orders . They could tell from the great roars that the Class 7 Magical Beast was in top condition, unlike the heavily injured one in the cave . Even the esteemed old man Hou was not the opponent of a peak condition Class 7 Magical Beast .

The Heaven Saint Masters fled into the distance at virtually the same time as old man Hou . Old man Hou fused with the surrounding space and hurried along with his abilities as a Saint Ruler, so he was extremely fast . Meanwhile, the Heaven Saint Masters could only fly slowly .

In the blink of an eye, old man Hou was about to disappear into the horizon, but a white figure rushed over from behind with a speed countless times faster than old man Hou . It crossed through several dozen kilometers in the blink of an eye and blocked old man Hou . To no surprise, it was a huge, thirty-meter-long white tiger with wings on its back .

The white tiger floated impressively in the air as it blocked old man Hou’s path . Its eyes no longer shone with a pure light . Instead, a vicious light glowed in its eyes . It seemed like a bloodthirsty beast .

The white tiger’s incomparable speed immediately caused old man Hou to pale from fright . The strength of the Class 7 Magical Beast before him was beyond his imaginations .

Roar! The white tiger roared at the sky angrily and did not give old man Hou any more time to flee . It swung its front paw directly toward old man Hou’s neck .

As soon as old man Hou wanted to dodge, he discovered with fright that the space around him had been frozen unknowingly . It immobilized him .

Shwt! The white tiger’s sharp claws ripped the hopeless old man’s throat in half . The white tiger had beheaded him, and his body fell while his head remained in the sky .

The white tiger growled constantly . It opened its mouth, and an energy ball that radiated with powerful ripples shot out . The ball directly collided with old man Hou’s head .

The old man’s head immediately exploded with a boom; the tiger had directly wiped out his soul . Saint Rulers were rather difficult to kill, but that was only the case when the opponent had a similar strength . Ordinary Saint Rulers could not even flee before the Winged Tiger God .

The white tiger’s fury did not decrease at all after it killed off the old man . He continued to chase down the remaining Heaven Saint Masters with surging killing intent . Even though they had all used a very smart tactic and dispersed, they were nowhere as fast as the Winged Tiger God . The white tiger caught them one by one . With a flurry of its paws, the white tiger ripped the Heaven Saint Masters into pieces . Their blood dyed the sky red .

Although the white tiger was young, it had experienced quite a few events as it followed Jian Chen in all these years . It rarely ever fought, but bloody scenes like these were common to it . As a result, it was not soft-hearted at all when it came to killing people .

The white tiger still seemed to be angry after it killed the Heaven Saint Masters . It produced a deafening roar at the sky once again, which frightened all the magical beasts in the marsh . All of them were on the ground; they trembled as fear filled their eyes .

Rum Guinness lay in her own blood within the cave as she faced death . She opened her darkened eyes with difficulty . Even though she was weak, this did not hide the excitement and emotions within her eyes . As a magical beast, and a high class magical beast in particular, Rum Guinness could naturally feel a special connection with her kindred . She knew that her child that she had not seen for many years had returned since the first roar .

“My child, my child, my child has come back,” Rum Guinness said in the human tongue . Her voice was so soft and weak that it was barely audible, but indescribable emotions filled it . Blood constantly flowed from her mouth as she spoke, which made her seem extremely miserable .

The white tiger outside the cave constantly shrank before it became a meter in length as it entered the cavern step by step . Its pair of snow-white wings were slightly unfurled as they flickered with a soft white light . It seemed extremely impressive .

Growl! The white tiger produced a throaty, trembling growl in anguish when it saw Rum Guinness who lied in a pool of her own blood . The white tiger seemed to be crying, as it could clearly feel that its mother’s presence was becoming weaker and weaker . Her life force drained away constantly .

Rum Guinness was heavily injured now, so she no longer had any power to keep up the seal within her body . The dark energy broke through as it constantly ravaged her body .

“Child, my child . I thought that I would never be able to see you again . Now that I can see you right before I die, I can die without regrets,” Rum Guinness said in the human tongue . Her voice was so weak and soft that it was barely audible . She struggled to open her eyes, and she looked at the impressive white tiger before her with deep love . Pride filled her eyes .

At this moment, Jian Chen, You Yue, Rui Jin, and Hei Yu also arrived . Jian Chen’s expression immediately changed when he saw Rum Guinness’ condition . He appeared before her in the blink of an eye . A golden streak of light shot out from the center of his eyebrows and landed in his hand as a palm-sized golden tower .

“Human, I haven’t misjudged you . I can feel that my child has grown to Class 7 . I thank you for looking after my child for all these years . ” Rum Guinness looked toward Jian Chen with gratitude .

“Don’t talk for now . I’ll save you immediately,” said Jian Chen .

“The seal within me has broken . The dark energy a king from the Gilligan clan deposited in my body is currently invading my soul, so my soul will be wiped out very soon . It’s too late,” Rum Guinness said disjointedly .

“I’ll protect your soul with a strand of Radiant Saint Force origin energy . Don’t worry, you’ll be saved . ” With a thought from Jian Chen, a strand of origin energy emerged from the top of his head and quickly floated to the tip of his finger . He extended his finger and the strand of energy immediately disappeared into Rum Guinness . It prevented the dark energy within her from tunneling deeper .

Afterward, Jian Chen immediately contacted the artifact spirit to bring Rum Guinness into the artifact space without any hesitation . Right now, Rum Guinness was in an extremely dangerous situation . He could heal her with his abilities as a Class 7 Radiant Saint Master, but the artifact spirit’s abilities were even greater . He chose to let the artifact spirit heal her personally as a safety measure .

The white tiger nervously stared at the saint artifact that floated in the air . It produced a deep growl as if it was pleading the artifact to save his mother .

Jian Chen rubbed the white tiger’s head and said, “Xiao Bai, don’t worry . It’s not like you don’t know what the artifact spirit is capable of . Don’t worry, he’ll definitely save your mother . Your mother will be fine . Let’s go . We should enter the artifact space as well . ”

Afterward, Jian Chen entered the artifact space with You Yue and the white tiger . Only Rui Jin and Hei Yu remained outside as they kept guard .
