Since they had come up with a plan, there was no need to hesitate.
The group immediately split off and started stalking their prey, though there really wasn’t much stalking needed since the two spirit beasts were so focused on each other that they weren’t paying any attention to their surroundings.
They could have even walked right up to them and attacked them without being noticed.
That was just how intense the fight between these two spirit beasts were.
But they couldn’t let that fight continue since the flames and stones were getting closer and closer to the Fire Lotus Flower.
They had to stop them before it was damaged.
So after getting close enough, Huang Xie, Yu Huang, and Tie Yong ran out.
There was no reason for Yu Huang to go out, but for some reason, he went out with Huang Xie. The two of them seemed to be working together, even though they should have been rivals that didn’t get along.
Even as they were going out, it seemed like they were glaring at each other.
But no one was worried seeing the two of them go out together since they knew that they wouldn’t do anything to ruin this.
As the two spirit beasts were reeling back to release another attack, Huang Xie and Tie Yong made their moves. Both of them simply charged at the two spirit beasts and punched them.
The spirit beasts weren’t really affected by these punches since they were only weak punches in the first place for getting their attention.
However, it definitely got their attention since neither the Sun Lion or the Steel Tiger expected to be attacked out of nowhere.
They were so shocked that they even forgot about each other for an instant to look at the two…three humans that had suddenly appeared.
Seeing that neither of the spirit beasts were going to do anything, Tie Yong and Huang Xie didn’t hesitate to go forward to punch them again. The two spirit beasts were still in a daze, so they didn’t dodge out of the way as their attacks hit them head on.
This time, Tie Yong and Huang Xie used a bit more force.
They had already positioned themselves so that the Fire Lotus Flower was behind them, so they were using a bit more force to push these two spirit beasts away.
Both the Sun Lion and Steel Tiger were lifted up by the force of these attacks and sent flying with shocked looks on their faces.
After all, neither of them had expected these two humans to have such powerful attacks. The attacks that they had received before barely tickled them, but now…they were being sent flying by the attacks of these humans.
When they landed, both the Sun Lion and Steel Tiger revealed enraged looks.
It was as if they couldn’t stand being treated like this, so they wanted to get revenge on these humans that had acted this way.
But when they stood up, they found that the humans had already turned around to run away.
Both the Sun Lion and Steel Tiger just stood there in a daze, as if they couldn’t comprehend what had just happened.
At the same time, they were hesitating since they didn’t know if they should chase or not…
In the end though, their anger took over their rationality and they forgot about the Fire Lotus Flower as they started chasing after the two humans that had attacked them.
The two humans split up after a while, so the Sun Lion and the Steel Tiger also split up. They started chasing the ones that had hit them without a single care for each other.
They had been fighting each other not that long ago, but now they were completely ignoring each other to chase these humans who had attacked them.
That was their pride as the rulers of their respective lands.
Seeing the plan work like this, Huang Xie and Tie Yong had smiles on their faces as they led these two spirit beasts away. Even though the spirit beasts attacked them, they were easily able to scatter these attacks with their powers.
Both the Sun Lion and Steel Tiger were surprised to see how easily their attacks were dispelled, but that also enraged them even more.
After all, it was like the humans were looking down on them with how easily they were stopping their attacks.
So they didn’t hesitate to use all of their attacks on these humans. They held nothing back as if they were planning on using all of their energy on these attacks.
It didn’t take long before the two spirit beasts started to falter since they were running out of energy.
However, even with this all out attack, they weren’t able to do anything to Huang Xie and Tie Yong.
Huang Xie and Tie Yong’s physiques were just too terrifying that they were able to block everything that came at them. It didn’t matter how strong they attacked, they just couldn’t do a thing to the two of them.
But not for a single moment did these spirit beasts realize that they were being led into a trap.
They just kept single mindedly following Huang Xie and Tie Yong until the two of them suddenly stopped.
The Sun Lion and the Steel Tiger were confused why this happened, but they didn’t question it too much as they saw this as an opportunity.
The two of them gathered all of their power and used it on one final attack to take down Huang Xie and Tie Yong.
But they never got the chance to use that attack.
Both of them were attacked from above all of a sudden.
Xiao Ming fell down on the Sun Lion with the force of a meteor as she landed right on its back with her sword. The sword cut deep, but it wasn’t able to cut all the way down into the Sun Lion’s body.
So even though it was seriously injured, the Sun Lion didn’t die with a single strike.
Xiao Ming was even temporarily in danger since she was stuck doing a handstand on the back of the Sun Lion.
In its final moments, the Sun Lion turned around and aimed all of the flames that it had been gathering at Xiao Ming.
Xiao Ming couldn’t let go of her sword in time, so she had no choice but to raise her arms in front of her to guard against these flames.
But the flames that she had expected to come never came as there were two people that suddenly charged forward. Both of them had gathered all of their energy for a single strike that hit the Sun Lion in its stomach.
The Sun Lion was already weakened because of Xiao Ming’s strike, so they were able to cut right through the Sun Lion, splitting it in half. This scattered all of the flames that the Sun Lion had been gathering and even sent Xiao Ming flying as her sword was no longer stuck.
Xiao Ming braced herself to fall to the ground, but then she fell into an embrace.
Or rather, it was better to say that she fell into two embraces.
The two who had charged forward to help her had both tried to catch her, but that meant that both of them just got in each other’s way. Neither of them were able to catch her properly in the end.
Huang Xie was holding her hand while Yu Huang was holding her legs.
The way that they held her was like they were holding some kind of luggage.
Xiao Ming was in a daze for a bit as she couldn’t react to what had happened, but when she saw the way that she was being carried by the two of them, she couldn’t stop the blush that came over her face.
She quickly broke free of their grasp and glared at the two of them before saying, “Let’s go back. Bring the corpse with us.”
She didn’t even spare a single glance back at Huang Xie and Yu Huang who both stood there with bitter smiles on their faces.
The two of them glared at each other for a moment for getting in each other’s way before turning around with snorts and each picking up half of the Sun Lion.
Huang Xie took the top half while Yu Huang took the bottom half.
When they arrived back at where the Fire Lotus Flower was, they found that Mo Sha’s group had also come back at the same time.
When they saw the Steel Tiger that they were carrying, they couldn’t help being shocked.
That was because the mid part of the Steel Tiger had been completely crushed into a meat pancake.
Xiao Ming asked Tie Yong, “What happened?”
Tie Yong revealed a strange look before shaking his head and saying, “One strike, that was all it took.”
Xiao Ming looked at Mo Sha with a complicated look who looked back at her with a smile.
Xiao Ming couldn’t help feeling that he really was hiding his power well.
She had done the same with the Sun Lion and she hadn’t been able to cut it in half.
Not to mention, the Steel Tiger should have been harder than the Sun Lion in the first place because of its specialty, so it should have been even harder to crush like this.
Yet Mo Sha had done it with a single strike?
Did that mean that Mo Sha was even stronger than her?
What was he hiding all of this power for?
