Chapter 33: Fat Cat Becomes Big Fat Cat (Part 1)
That yellow light soared to a height of ten meters, bringing with it a snowstorm that was impossible to describe in words. The people of the Tian Gong Camp quickly jumped up, trying to dodge from above, but the attack of the Ice Phoenix Heavenly Bear King came too fast. The first to be blown away was Hua Feng, who fell into a coma while still in mid-air. The other strongmen of the Tian Gong Camp were no exception. They did have the ability to jump high to ten meters, but when the Ice Phoenix Heavenly Bear King's palms slammed down, the earth shook violently, making it impossible for them to exert force on their feet. Luo Ke Di was blown away by the earth's roar at a height of five meters, while Gao Sheng and Han Miao were only slightly better off. Mu En fared even worse, turning back to try and rescue Zhou Weiqing and Shangguan Xue'er, but was directly swept up from the ground.
Zhou Weiqing and Shangguan Xue'er were the farthest away from the Ice Hell King when it charged over, since they had been standing at a distance all along. At this critical moment, Zhou Weiqing brought out the advantages of his youth - quick reflexes.
He vividly remembered the previous ice stab, so when he saw the Ice Emperor Bear King charging over, he immediately pulled up Shangguan Yan and poured all his heavenly energy into his right leg. With a loud thud, Zhou Weiqing stomped the ground, the sound almost simultaneous with the Ice Emperor Bear King's punch to the ground. Holding onto Shangguan Yan, Zhou Weiqing shot upwards, this powerful kick sending them both fifteen meters high, narrowly avoiding the Ice Emperor Bear King's shocking full-force blow.
It is said that human strength has its limits. The Tian Gong Camp had a group of strong individuals who didn't know how many times they had created miracles of the weak defeating the strong, whether it was their battle experience or the tacit understanding between them, had already reached the level where they could exert their own strength beyond their normal level. Otherwise, if they were to face each other head-on, even that Ice Charmer Sky Bear from before would have been able to easily tear them all apart.
However, when the four Icebound Skybears appeared at the same time later on, the people of Tian Gong Camp had already completely lost all hope of winning. What's more, the Icebound Skybear King, in its enraged state, launched a full-power attack as soon as it faced them, not even giving them the chance to display their skills. Although this attack couldn't be said to have heavily injured them, the intense stunning effect brought by the Earthshaking Strike sent all of them flying out over a hundred meters and they all fell into a coma.
Four pairs of eyes filled with bloodlust and ferocity almost simultaneously locked onto Zhou Weiqing and Shangguan Xue'er as they rose into the air. However, immediately after, the pupils of these four incredibly powerful Ice Hell Polar Bears constricted at the same time, which was why they didn't launch a simultaneous attack.
Zhou Weiqing infused the Heavenly Energy into the Evil Demon's right leg, and his own aura burst out uncontrollably. The four powerful Heavenly Beasts sensed his aura and hesitated in their emotions.
To know, among these four powerful Ice Jade Sky Bears, except for the exceptionally powerful Ice Jade Sky Bear King, the other three were not much smaller in size than the one they killed. They were originally part of a large Ice Jade Sky Bear tribe, and this Ice Jade Sky Bear King was even the younger brother of the tribe's leader. He was defeated in a battle challenging the leadership position and was driven out of the tribe, ending up here. To know that he wasn't killed despite losing the challenge shows just how terrifyingly powerful this Ice Jade Sky Bear King is. Let alone the strong ones from the Sky Bow Camp, even if Zhou Wei Qing's father, General Zhou Da, came in person, they wouldn't be able to withstand a direct hit from this big fellow.
It's over. Although Zhou Weiqing managed to dodge the first attack with Shangguan Fei'er, both of them had the same thought in their minds at the same time.
Not to mention four, even if there is only one Ice Charmer Heavenly Bear, it's not something they can contend with!
"Ice, you go quickly, I'll hold them off." As he spoke, Zhou Weiqing was about to throw Ouyang Ice away, relying on the speed of his Wind and Rain Boots inlaid with Bi Xie, perhaps giving Ouyang Ice a few chances to escape.
However, he couldn't shake her off this time. Shangguan Bing'er tightly grasped his collar, "Xiao Pang, do you think I'm a woman who fears death? I've long been yours, even if it means dying, I'll die with you."
Zhou Weiqing looked at Shangguan Fei'er's eyes, which were filled with a resolute gaze. The two of them had already fallen to the ground simultaneously. He was originally very afraid of death, but for some reason, seeing the despair in Shangguan Fei'er's eyes made his blood suddenly boil like oil that had been ignited instantly.
A dense black tiger pattern almost instantly spread from his right leg to his entire body, and his eyes also turned blood red. His right hand relaxed, releasing Ouyang Qianruo. A violent and bloodthirsty aura burst out of his body, a black "king" character appeared on his forehead, and his bones let out a dense crackling sound. In this icy and snowy environment, Zhou Weiqing felt his entire body burning hot, as if there was an endless heat inside him that wanted to be released.
Is the evil transformation coming again? I don't want to lose my mind, I want to be clear-headed and control the instincts brought by this evil transformation. Due to Shangguan Bing'er's decisive gaze, he has completely fallen into the state of evil transformation at this moment, with a surge of evil energy bursting out from his body, more than ten times thicker than before.
Clearly visible, with Zhou Weiqing's body as the center, the ice and snow on the ground instantly turned gray, then silently disappeared, and spread outwards like ripples.
Compared to the Ice Jade Sky Bear, his aura was not strong at all, but it brought a strong sense of danger to the four extremely powerful Tier 6 Sky Beasts in front of him. Especially with Zhou Weiqing's blood-red eyes and the black "King" character on his forehead, their emotions, which had originally been in a state of frenzy, suddenly calmed down.
The little white tiger, Fat Cat, who had always been standing on Zhou Weiqing's shoulder, now had a strange glow in its eyes, constantly taking deep breaths as if the evil aura emanating from Zhou Weiqing was its favorite food.
Zhou Weiqing's upper body leaned forward slightly, his entire muscular system having adjusted to near perfection under the Demonic Change state. Under this state, his physical strength could be increased by threefold, and he could release his Heavenly Jewel Energy and all his skills more perfectly. As long as he had sufficient Heavenly Jewel Energy to support him, he could release every ability without restriction.
Four Ice Jade Heaven Bears were not the weak Heaven Beasts that Zhou Weiqing had faced before, such as the Prairie Heaven Wolves. Although Zhou Weiqing's body was emitting a strong sense of danger that made them feel uneasy, they did not retreat. The death of their child had driven them into a state of frenzy and despair. They slowly dispersed and began to move step by step towards Zhou Weiqing. Even in his Evil Demon Transformation state, Zhou Weiqing was still too weak. Without a doubt, if the four Ice Jade Heaven Bears concentrated their attack on him, he would be torn to shreds in no time.
At this moment, the little white tiger on Zhou Weiqing's shoulder suddenly moved. The four small paws that looked soft and pink exerted force on his shoulder and jumped out. Originally, after entering the Evil Demon Transformation state, Zhou Weiqing gradually lost control of his body, but at this moment, he felt a sudden clarity in his mind. Immediately following, his pupils which had turned blood-red contracted violently.
The little white tiger, Fat Cat, pounced off Zhou Weiqing's shoulder and its body suddenly expanded like a balloon in the wind. While still in mid-air, it grew bigger before our eyes. When it landed silently on all fours, it had transformed into a majestic white tiger with a body length of three meters and a shoulder height of about 1.3 meters. The dark blue stripes on its body emitted a layer of misty light. Fat Cat raised its head and let out a proud roar.
It's just as the saying goes, "A tiger's roar shakes the mountain forest." This one bellow shook the air, and suddenly a deafening roar burst forth from his mouth. Zhou Weiqing only felt that some power within him had been unleashed, his arms spreading out to both sides of his body, his chest abruptly heaving up as a thunderous roar exploded from his lips.
Similarly, the tiger's roar, Zhou Weiqing's roar was thick and loud, while White Tiger Fatty Cat's roar was high-pitched and excited. The two roars, one high and one low, complemented each other, and in an instant, the mighty beast king's overwhelming pressure reversed.
When the fat cat's body grew larger and appeared in front of them, the four Ice Jade Heaven Bears had already stopped in their tracks. Except for the Ice Jade Heaven Bear King, the other three bears' eyes revealed a fearful expression. And when Zhou Weiqing and the fat cat let out a simultaneous roar, even the Ice Jade Heaven Bear King's body slowly lowered, its gaze still sharp but no longer frenzied as before.
"Roar——" The long howl stopped, and the fat cat let out a low growl. It suddenly turned around and came to Zhou Weiqing's side, using its paws to flip open his clothes, and two small ice bears were pulled out. The cat bit them with its mouth and threw them on the ground.
Those two little polar bears now had an extra layer of gray on their bodies, constantly trembling as if they had endured immense pain.
The fat cat's eyes suddenly turned into crystal clear white, and two thick white lights shot out from its eyes, shining on the two little ice bears, instantly driving away the grayness on their bodies. The two little ice bears also stopped struggling.
Right after that, Fat Cat lifted up one of its enormous tiger paws and pressed it onto the two little Ice Bears. Its mouth kept letting out a low, muffled growl towards the four Ice Charms in front, as if saying something.
After a string of low growls, Fat Cat's large head slowly turned towards the north, the white at the bottom of its eyes gradually fading away, and its pupils returned to blue, but its gaze gradually became icy. A strong and intense aura of killing intent swept out from its body.
