This is deep in the mountains, far from the mundane world, where many Mountain Peaks are devoid of monsters. Choosing one at random, a battle between men is about to unfold.
Stretching his wrists, looking at the extremely serious Little Tiger, Ye Mingshang asked, "So, how is it? Are you ready?"
Little Tiger struck a pose, his expression grave. "I can start anytime."
"Great, then I'll make the first move." With that, Ye Mingshang quickly took out several Yellow Talismans and affixed them to his arms and legs. He then formed hand seals, with his left hand making a sword gesture and his right hand embracing the left, curling his Index Finger and Middle Finger around the left hand's sword gesture while murmuring incantations.
"Forceful as mountains and peaks, heavenly might consumes the black wind. Black thunder techniques shake the earth, no trace of a thousand ghosts remains. Commanding the heavens to grant pardon, flames scatter in the purple void. Should anyone defy this order, the law shall not be lenient. From the highest peak to the depths of the underworld. Great heavenly thunder fire, pardon as pure vigorous wind. Urgent Order!"
As the spell was cast, a gust of black wind swept in from all directions, merging into those Yellow Talismans. Gradually, the Yellow Talismans turned black, flickering with black lightning before bursting into flames. Although it was fire, it did not ignite Ye Mingshang's clothes or burn him; he only felt a slight warmth.
What seemed slow took only a few seconds. After completing the spell, Ye Mingshang lightly called out, "Be careful." Before his words had fully left his mouth, he forcefully stomped on the ground, creating a small pit. The mass determined speed; under this reaction force, Ye Mingshang's body shot forward like an arrow and almost instantly reached Little Tiger's side. He pulled on his right wrist with his left hand and used that momentum to swing his right elbow toward Little Tiger.
From the moment Ye Mingshang began casting his spell, Little Tiger had already been on high alert. He dared not underestimate this childhood rival. Even before Ye Mingshang finished saying "be careful," he was exceptionally cautious. When Ye Mingshang suddenly appeared before him, although startled, he quickly adjusted his defensive stance.
His left arm rose to block vital points on his head while his right arm straightened to press down on his left wrist. After all, Little Tiger was battle-hardened and had immense combat experience; he instantly assumed an optimal defensive position.
Bang!
At the moment Little Tiger had set up his defense, their elbows collided with a dull thud as if two stones had struck each other rather than two flesh-and-blood arms.
Feeling the tremendous force of impact coursing through him, Little Tiger was alarmed and quickly shifted his body to absorb some of the force. He then pushed off with both hands and kicked toward Ye Mingshang's chest.
As Ye Mingshang felt himself loosen from the impact and found no leverage to push against, he rolled over in response to inertia just as a large foot flew past him narrowly avoiding a hit. However, their first exchange was not yet over; they were still very close together. Missing one strike meant Little Tiger had no time to stand up; he pivoted on his hands and swept both legs toward Ye Mingshang's face.
Just landing on the ground and sensing an ill wind approaching, Ye Mingshang quickly jumped backward as a foot swept past him. Although he dodged it, the gust created by the kick still stung his face.
The two exchanged blows in close quarters like this for several minutes—attacking and defending until they finally separated after a hard clash. Little Tiger felt a chill in his heart; he never expected that after years of rigorous training, he would find himself unable to gain any advantage in physical combat against Ye Mingshang? This Ye Mingshang was indeed formidable; he had grown significantly stronger compared to their childhood days.
On the other side, Ye Mingshang also had a certain appreciation for Little Tiger. It seemed that he had not been slacking off over the years. After a few minutes of battle, he had sustained some minor injuries. For now, it appeared that he was at a disadvantage in close combat compared to Little Tiger.
Sizzle!
The talisman flames on Ye Mingshang's hands and feet extinguished, turning the talismans to ashes. He shrugged, thinking, "It seems I can't just go head-to-head anymore; it's time to use some real techniques."
"Golden Fire Flourishes, Jiao Lian Yuan Shen; Internal Protection Form, External Demon Spirit; Transforming Fire Phoenix, guide the light; Urgent Order!"
Ye Mingshang bit his finger and drew symbols in the air. Under the swirling blood, they transformed into blood-red phoenixes that ignited in flames and charged towards Little Tiger. Unaware of their true nature, Little Tiger did not dare to confront them directly and instead maneuvered around, entangled with several Fire Phoenixes.
Ye Mingshang could not afford to relax; the Fire Phoenixes were merely distractions and not meant for combat. Little Tiger would soon realize this, so he needed to act quickly. He ran to a large rock, quickly formed several hand seals, then stacked his hands together and pressed his blood-mixed palms onto the stone.
"By divine command, grant you divine powers; open heavenly wisdom, achieve smooth enlightenment; transform into Stone Spirit, battle like thunder. Urgent Order!"
Boom!
At a visible speed, the round boulder began to twist and writhe. After a few breaths, it transformed into a three-meter-tall Stone Giant.
"Oh wow!" The newly formed Stone Giant seemed very pleased, raising its hands high and letting out a deep cheer.
In the sky, Ling'er transformed into an Azure Bird, with Bai Xiangxue sitting on her back.
"Auntie, this spell is amazing! That big rock turned into a spirit in an instant!" Although she was born as a demon, having grown up and seen much of the world, she understood how difficult it was for animals to become spirits. Without opportunities, it was rare for hundreds of animals to have even one succeed. It was already challenging for animals with higher intelligence to become spirits; let alone stones that originally had no intelligence at all. They would need thousands of years to develop intelligence and become spirits without offerings or worship.
Bai Xiangxue had seen much in her thousands of years of life and recognized the profoundness of spells. She immediately discerned the nature of this technique: "This should be the Taoist Sect's Sealing Technique."
"What is the Sealing Technique?" Ling'er asked with wide eyes, her clear voice tinged with curiosity.
"The Sealing Technique, as the name suggests, is a method for sealing demons. It can seal animals and plants and even stones without intelligence into spirits. However, the more difficult it is for something to become a demon, the harder it is to seal it. But because of this difficulty, they often become stronger and more loyal," Bai Xiangxue explained gently with a smile, her beautiful eyes watching the busy young man with pride as if saying 'Look, this is my son.'
Ling'er suddenly understood and exclaimed "Oh~" before giggling "Brother Ye is truly impressive; he has changed this big rock's fate in an instant."
“Stone Spirit, go help me take down that tiger!” Ye Mingshang shouted.
“Oh yeah!” Stone Spirit roared and charged towards Little Tiger, each heavy step sounding like an earthquake.
Roar!!!
Accompanied by a Tiger Roar, a three-meter-long Big Tiger suddenly appeared. As the saying goes, Clouds Follow the Dragon, Wind from Tiger. The roar stirred up a fierce wind, scattering the nearby Fire Phoenix and bending the surrounding trees, which were as thick as a bowl, as if they might snap at any moment.
“Oh yeah!”
However, the strong wind had no effect on the massive Stone Spirit. Instead, it became even more excited, raising its fist, which was as large as a basin, and brought it down heavily on the Big Tiger's head.
Crack! (I could almost hear the sound of bones breaking.)
Boom, the Big Tiger's body crashed heavily to the ground, causing another tremor.
“Oh yeah!” Stone Spirit raised its fist in excitement, cheering like a boxer who had just knocked out an opponent.
Taking this opportunity, the Big Tiger quickly rolled over and jumped away, watching nervously from a distance at the cheering stone giant. This Spotted Tiger was indeed the true form of Little Tiger. When that stone figure appeared, he sensed danger and transformed back to his original form immediately.
He truly did not underestimate his opponent; that Tiger Roar was actually a technique that could disrupt opponents and had a certain level of attack power. In past battles, it had proven effective and helped him gain many advantages. Who would have thought he would suffer against this stone creature? His head was now throbbing painfully, and he could feel that his skull had cracked somewhat.
Pah!
The tiger spat out two white teeth stained with blood onto the ground.
“Haha, Little Tiger is so weak, even his teeth got knocked out! Haha!” In the sky, Ling'er flapped her wings and laughed without restraint, causing Little Tiger below to feel embarrassed. Fortunately, his thick fur concealed his blushing face.
“Ling'er, be respectful; he is your brother,” Bai Xiangxue admonished.
“Oh~, fine. Go for it, Little Tiger brother~.” Ling'er immediately drooped her head, half-heartedly cheering for Little Tiger.
Little Tiger forced a bitter smile, wondering if it was easy for him. Even fighting involved both physical and mental torment; this situation could not continue any longer. He had to redeem himself! He wanted to be the boss!
“Roar!” Little Tiger surged with momentum, charging fiercely towards the large rock that was still cheering.
Boom!
With a loud crash, the unsuspecting large rock was suddenly knocked away, crashing heavily into a tree thick enough for several people to hug, nearly breaking the Trunk.
“Ow!” The rock groaned as it pressed against the Trunk and stood up. With a forceful push, accompanied by a cracking sound, the massive tree fell down.
“Alas! What a pity for this old tree; if it had been given a few more decades, it could have become sentient,” Bai Xiangxue sighed lightly from the air.
“Oh no!” The large rock roared angrily, clearly irritated by Little Tiger's sneak attack. It stretched its arms and lifted the thick broken tree, swinging it towards Little Tiger.
Little Tiger knew well that the rock was strong and durable; he dared not take the hit head-on and quickly jumped back to evade this heavy strike. However, he forgot that his true opponent was not this large rock but Ye Mingshang.
“Thunder rumbles faintly against the golden bell, divine thunder fiercely shatters the veil. Dragon thunder shakes the fiery earth red, burning away evil without a trace. Urgent Order!”
As he formed seals to cast his spell, a lightning ball appeared in the palm of Ye Mingshang's right hand, crackling with sound. The dazzling blue light reflected on his face, turning it blue as well. Seeing Little Tiger, who had his back turned to him, he couldn't help but break into a playful grin and shouted:
“Thousand Birds!”
