Chapter 234: United Hearts
Song Ranran merely helped Song Tiantian up, but her internal organs were already churning from the battle aftermath, and a sweet, metallic taste surged into her throat.
She knew she couldn’t help much by staying, so to avoid worrying Song Tiantian, she forcefully swallowed the blood in her throat and said to Song Tiantian, “Tiantian, you must hold on! Don’t worry, I’ll be back soon.”
Song Ranran didn’t say anything more and quickly left.
She had to save time.
Song Ranran ran all the way to the city wall before she could no longer hold back and spat out a mouthful of fresh blood.
Father Song concernedly supported Song Ranran and anxiously asked her, “Where’s Tiantian! How is Tiantian?”
Father Song knew that Song Ranran had gone to find Song Tiantian.
This was the first time Song Ranran had suffered an internal injury.
“Dad, quickly gather the high-level Beast Tamers to support Tiantian. A Nine-star Fierce Beast is coming, and Tiantian went out of the city to block it. She told me to come back for help first!”
Father Song also panicked. A Nine-star Fierce Beast, that was too far away for him.
But he also knew that Song Tiantian couldn’t be in danger. If Song Tiantian was gone, even if Qingshan City remained, it would be meaningless.
…
Song Tiantian didn’t look back at Song Ranran. The two feathers left by Black Crow bought her some time. Now, this Nine-star Demonic Tiger was also not doing well; it was injured.
The System secretly told Song Tiantian that it could attack the Nine-star Demonic Tiger one more time.
Illusion Grass was invincible against opponents of the same level, but it wasn’t very effective in combat against higher levels.
Song Tiantian could only have it stand guard.
Other fierce beasts, sensing such intense battle fluctuations, all dared not approach.
Song Tiantian didn’t place her hope on Song Ranran, nor did she expect anyone to actually come to her aid.
The reinforcements arrived quickly, and there were quite a few of them.
Several Eight-star Beast Tamers from Linhai City, along with over a dozen Seven-star Beast Tamers, had arrived.
Old Master Huang and Leng Qing had also come.
“City Lord, we’ve come to help you!”
A flicker of emotion crossed Song Tiantian’s heart. She hadn’t expected all these people to come.
Powerful attacks landed on the Nine-star Demonic Tiger one after another.
“Roar!”
A tiger’s roar split the sky.
This was the Nine-star Demonic Tiger’s Mental Attack. The roar spread out like a transparent ripple, and anyone and any Pet Beast it touched uncontrollably spat out a mouthful of blood.
The Nine-star Demonic Tiger had been stunned by Song Tiantian earlier and hadn’t thought to use this move.
But this time, it used it.
Because this was an area-of-effect attack, it felt like a waste to use it only on Song Tiantian. With so many people and Pet Beasts now, it was perfect.
Chu Tianba felt a surge of despair. He wished he hadn’t brought his younger sister, Chu Lianlian, to help.
Is this a Nine-star Fierce Beast? It’s too terrifying, too powerful.
This was simply beyond human capability to contend with.
These past few days on the city wall, since his first personal combat experience, he had become somewhat blindly confident.
Moreover, his father, Chu Haiji, was now the District Chief of Qingshan City’s North District, so their family had taken root here.
Therefore, upon hearing that Song Tiantian was in danger, to leave a good impression on her, his father not only sent him to provide support but also sent Chu Lianlian.
But what was the result?
His and his sister’s full-power attacks were like a drizzle to the Nine-star Demonic Tiger.
Even if the Nine-star Demonic Tiger stood still and let him attack, he couldn’t even move it.
And the Nine-star Demonic Tiger didn’t even need to move; just one roar and he was severely injured.
It wasn’t just Chu Tianba; everyone else’s morale was greatly hit, and they felt an insurmountable sense of powerlessness.
“Everyone attack together, don’t let this sick cat’s Mental Attack affect your mindset.”
Song Tiantian shouted!
Her saber had already shattered. She remembered the iron nail that had been embedded in Dr. Bai earlier. She grabbed it and flew forward.
The Nine-star Demonic Tiger looked at Song Tiantian with disdain. However, at this very moment, the System delivered a critical blow.
Song Tiantian’s iron nail deeply pierced the Nine-star Demonic Tiger’s eye.
“Roar~~~”
The Nine-star Demonic Tiger let out another howl of pain. It was furious and forcefully shook Song Tiantian off. However, Song Tiantian tightly gripped the iron nail in her hand, wanting to twist it. But the Nine-star Demonic Tiger’s strength was too great, and Song Tiantian was sent flying.
The Nine-star Demonic Tiger was extremely enraged. It had been injured to such an extent by such a lowly human, which it could not accept. It wanted to tear Song Tiantian apart.
Then, Big White’s body blocked its charge.
Hell Ghost Vine sensed the Nine-star Demonic Tiger’s weakness and once again wrapped around it.
The Nine-star Demonic Tiger was in so much pain that it was almost losing all reason.
It wanted to shake out the iron nail in its eye but was helpless. This nail was disrupting its internal Spiritual Power, and a portion of its Power was sealed.
It never imagined that Song Tiantian would have such a thing in her hand.
Old Master Huang looked at Song Tiantian in disbelief because he hadn’t seen the nail in Song Tiantian’s hand. He had seen Song Tiantian’s shattered long saber earlier and thought she had beaten the Nine-star Demonic Tiger into this state with her fists.
Song Tiantian had called for everyone to attack together, but no one came forward, nor did any Pet Beasts.
Everyone had been scared witless by the Nine-star Demonic Tiger.
But Song Tiantian was, after all, only an Eight-star Beast Tamer.
He was also an Eight-star Beast Tamer. If Song Tiantian could go, why couldn’t he?
A long time ago, he was Song Tiantian’s senior. Now, Song Tiantian had reached a height he needed to look up to.
Before they arrived, Song Tiantian had already inflicted numerous wounds on the Nine-star Demonic Tiger, leaving it bloody and torn.
Yet, with so many of them here, they hadn’t managed to inflict a single wound on the Nine-star Demonic Tiger.
No matter what, he had to at least leave a wound on the Nine-star Demonic Tiger. He was an Eight-star Beast Tamer, after all.
Old Master Huang attacked, and Leng Qing also joined the fray.
Chu Tianba and Chu Lianlian exchanged glances. Neither sibling fled; they both charged forward.
The other Eight-star Beast Tamers also gathered their Spiritual Power in unison and charged forward with their Pet Beasts.
This time, they were much smarter than before. They targeted the wounds Song Tiantian had inflicted earlier and attacked those areas. This attack was indeed very effective.
The Nine-star Demonic Tiger let out another deafening roar, but this time it had little effect.
And the Nine-star Demonic Tiger never expected that Song Tiantian still had iron nails in her hand.
Song Tiantian had pulled out three iron nails at the time. It was a pity that those chained blacksmiths couldn’t melt them down to forge a long saber for Song Tiantian, otherwise, her long saber wouldn’t have been ruined.
