Just Beasts
"Your Majesty, your tail has been exposed!" Lu Li's words enraged the entire hall.
A flicker of panic crossed the white tiger's face. It glanced at its hindquarters, then abruptly stood up, unleashing a powerful aura of oppression. Its roar, like that of a tiger and a dragon, proclaimed, "Human, are you humiliating this king?"
Seeing the white tiger's fury, all the Tiger Ghost and monkeys knelt down and shouted, "Your Majesty, please calm your anger!"
However, the White Monkey secretly glanced behind the tiger, but couldn't see anything. The white tiger was always wearing its black tiger-patterned coat when it appeared, and the rest of the time it was resting in the back hall and could not be seen.
More importantly, every time the white tiger appears, the Red Fox disappears, supposedly to help the king with state affairs, which seems very strange. Even if the monkey isn't particularly clever and the Tiger King doesn't hold many court meetings, there has always been suspicion, and today's events have only amplified that suspicion.
"Human, do you want to die?" The Tiger King's aura grew increasingly immense, so terrifying that it even interfered with reality. Gusts of wind were blown up inside the room, and those winds even condensed into roaring tiger heads in the air.
The white monkey general also withdrew his gaze and lowered his head. In this situation, he couldn't possibly risk his life for a mere suspicion. In any case, his life wasn't bad, and there was no need for him to seek death.
"Now, human, kneel down and admit your mistakes to me, and perhaps I will forgive your transgressions!" The white tiger's voice was full of majesty, and the tiger's head, made of air, roared in unison, the wind pressure even blowing Lu Li's hair backward.
"What wrong have I done? You know, the greater your aura, the more discordant you reveal." Lu Li squinted at the white tiger against the wind and said, "Right now, looking at you is like looking at a cat, or rather, a Fox."
"You can't hide your true colors from me no matter what," Lu Li said.
"Damn humans, General Yuan, seize this madman right now!" Tiger King roared in fury, but whether it was his imagination or not, White Monkey General felt that the terrifying pressure had inexplicably lessened a little.
"Could it be true, as that human said, that this king is an imposter?" The White Monkey General was horrified. But seeing the Tiger King's angry face, and knowing that he had been subservient and ruled for so long, he felt a chill. Perhaps if he gambled correctly, he could gain further power, but if he gambled wrongly, it would be an irreversible disaster.
Therefore, the White Monkey General paused only briefly before standing up, drawing his weapon, and shouting at Lu Li, "Men, follow me and wipe out these humans!"
The Tiger Ghost guards on the side also drew their weapons and surrounded Lu Li. White Monkey General took the lead, raising a large sword and slashing down at Lu Li's head. Lu Li conjured Shadow Dagger in his hand and blocked White Monkey's sword.
After trying various weapons, Lu Li felt that the Short Blade was more suitable for him. Although the spear had been enhanced by modules, firstly, he couldn't handle it well, and secondly, he didn't have any related martial arts techniques. At least the martial arts techniques related to the Short Blade, whether learned from the Shadow Assassin or the Claw Ghost, were quite powerful.
Lu Li flicked his Short Blade upwards, deflecting the White Monkey General's broadsword to the side. He then released his Shadow Magic, Synchronization his mind. The skill he released was slightly modified; instead of condensing into a spear, it released a cluster of condensing Thorn that shot out and entangled the White Monkey General.
The black Thorn grew wildly, entangling the white monkey. One end of the Thorn even pierced the ground, prying open the stone bricks and taking root in the earth. The White Monkey General struggled fiercely, and the Thorn pierced its body, creating small holes. Just as the white monkey was about to use all its strength to break free from the Thorn, it saw Lu Li wink at it.
The white monkey was stunned for a moment, and its strength involuntarily dissipated. It pretended that it could not break free. Although it did not dare to directly resist Tiger King and test the truth, it was still okay to pretend to be weak to see the situation.
Lu Li's mask fluttered, and a team of Claw Ghost and a team of Shadow Assassin appeared on the scene, blocking the Tiger Ghost and monkey offspring. Lu Li then charged towards the Tiger King on the high platform with strange steps.
A pair of wings appeared behind Tiger King, and he took to the air. The air around him condensed under his aura, transforming into tiger heads that rushed towards Lu Li. Lu Li chuckled and ignored the tigers to look at his skills. This was remarkably similar to the Fox conjuring up various equipment.
The shadow behind Lu Li surged out and enveloped Lu Li. Lu Li's senses connected with the shadow, transforming him into a Shadow Giant three times the height of a human, blocking the air tiger heads. The Touch of Fear skill was activated by Lu Li. The moment the eunuchs and maids on the platform saw the Shadow Giant, the aura of fear surged into the body of this Tiger Ghost along their vision.
The original Touch of Fear was generated from four modules: Magic, Spirit, Fear, and Spread. This skill generates an aura of fear that can overwhelm enemies and allow their hearts to be ruled by fear. However, this skill also has a downside: the spread of the fear aura is relatively slow.
Thanks to the spreading module, the aura of fear, which initially required manual touch, can now spread outwards. However, the spreading speed is still too slow, so Lu Li upgraded the Touch of Fear once again.
Lu Li purchased and added four modules to the original module: Source, Transmission, Module: Awakening, and Influx. Once these four modules were added, the aura of fear generated from a certain source would continuously spread and influx into the hearts of the surrounding people.
This time, Lu Li used the Shadow Giant he transformed into as the source of fear. When the eunuchs and maids saw it, they became the first targets of the aura of fear. The silent fear spread through their hearts. They were originally Tiger Ghost had only left behind their souls. This fear surged into their hearts, causing them to constantly recall the fearful things they had experienced in the past while they were filled with fear.
For all the Tiger Ghost type of ghost in Chinese folklore), the most terrifying thing must be that they died tragically under the tiger's bite. After being awakened, these Tiger Ghost suffered a complete mental breakdown, which led to the collapse of their souls as well.
The white tiger, which was flying in the sky on wings, also paused, fear rising uncontrollably in his heart. All his illusions collapsed, revealing his true form Red Fox. Just as the White Monkey thought to himself, "Just as I expected," he heard the Red Fox shout, "Damn human, you will regret this... Tiger King will kill you!"
Then, Lu Li, transformed into Shadow Giant, unleashed a shadow tentacle that pierced the Red Fox. Lu Li sneered, "There has never been a Tiger King, or rather, your so-called Tiger King is nothing but an uncivilized beast!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the entire Void Space trembled...
