He was fairly confident in Chen An's strength, but the Intermediate Spirit Ascension Platform was no joke. Even an entry card was incredibly precious, and there could not be the slightest mistake.
He had to ensure the two children were absolutely safe, with no room for error.
A low, ferocious beast's roar suddenly exploded, shaking leaves from the forest branches.
A massive figure darted out from the depths of the woods, over six meters long and more than one and a half meters tall at the shoulder.
Its fur was interwoven in icy blue and fiery red, its patterns sharp and menacing, its murderous aura oppressive. It was an Icefire Demon Tiger with fearsome combat power.
Wu Changkong drew his longsword and gave them a stern warning.
"Just protect yourselves."
Before his words had even faded, he charged straight at the Icefire Demon Tiger with sword in hand. Sharp sword light flashed as he instantly became entangled in battle with the giant beast.
At the same time, Chen An instinctively moved, firmly placing himself in front of Tang Wuling.
It was the instinctive reaction of the strong protecting the weak.
Clearly, Tang Wuling was the older one. Ever since they had first met, she had always been the one protecting her younger brother.
Yet at the instant Chen An shielded her, she froze, warmth and bitterness suddenly welling up in her heart.
This was such a serious situation, yet she was distracted by strange thoughts.
Chen An's attention was fixed on the fierce battle ahead. He watched the beast's movements closely and did not notice the subtle change in Tang Wuling's expression beside him.
After barely a minute of fighting, Wu Changkong trapped the Icefire Demon Tiger's movements, completely cutting off its room to dodge or counterattack.
"Wuling, attack!"
