Now!
Jumping off of the branch, Yang Shen who no longer needed to use the Dragon Pierces the Void with every attack chose to swing his spear horizontally.
Aiming at the black tiger head, Yang Shen didn't give it any time to react to the venom which was entering it through the dart stuck inside its leg.
Roaaarrrr!!!
Raising its paw and slapping it against the metal shaft, the Black Ice Tiger which couldn't use all of its strength due to being caught off guard other than pushing Yang Shen back was thrown a little distance away as well.
Recovering first, the tiger which was barely shaken from being pushed off the rock was about to pounce towards Yang Shen when it finally sensed a highly corrosive element inside its body.
But before it could find out what it was, or try and suppress it, Yang Shen who finally stabilized himself and used all of his strength to stop the spear from vibrating approached his target once again.
Chop!
Taking advantage of how far his reach was with the spear, Yang Shen who launched an attack while the tiger was occupied with the Volcano Fire Venom inside it managed to slash its face with the venomous tip of his spear and poisoned it a second time.
Huh… If he maintained this style of fighting, maybe he'd be called the King of Poisons in the future.
Snorting at the thought which was slightly amusing, Yang Shen hastily stepped to evade the swipe of its paw.
So close!
Not even having the time to wipe the cold sweat covering his forehead as the sharp nails of the Black Ice Tiger barely missed his stomach, Yang Shen found himself confused regarding whether he should place some distance between him and the tiger or continue attacking it.
Given that the venom which entered it through the dart was yet to show an impact, Yang Shen knew that trying to fight it from a close range would cause the pace of the fight to be dictated by the Black Ice Tiger, and that wouldn't be a good thing for him.
But if he chose to retreat, the venom would be suppressed and gotten rid of even before it could affect the beast.
Therefore, Yang Shen who saw the pair of eyes full of malice and boundless anger towards him knew that once the tiger wasn't bothered by the venoms it would chase him to the ends of the earth to kill him.
Narrowing his eyes and deciding what to do quickly, Yang Shen in face of the pouncing tiger didn't retreat and instead began executing his Battle Skill.
The Dragon Pierces the Void!
Splash!
Moving the spear at such a great speed that the tiger couldn't react before it felt the cold steel piercing his skin, Yang Shen did his best to hold onto the spear which was for the first time facing trouble with piercing through something.
Looking towards the huge body of the tiger which would fall on top of him and crush him because the power behind the thrust wasn't enough to stop the beast's momentum, Yang Shen in an instant stored the weapon inside his inventory and jumped to the side.
Wiping the blood which had spilt onto his face when he pierced the tiger's chest with his spear, Yang Shen under the confused eyes of the Black Ice Tiger re-equipped the Heart Destroying Spear.
While a little amazed at the fact that an animal could show such emotions, it didn't stop Yang Shen from taking advantage of the tiger who couldn't believe what happened.
Approaching the tiger and executing the Dragon Pierces the Void, Yang Shen aimed his attack at the beast's eye.
Roarrrrr!
Roaring in rage, the tiger moved very nimbly and escaped from the spear because it had already seen this move being used once and there was no way the same attack could work against it once again.
Seeing this, Yang Shen's expression turned a little ugly.
After all, while it may seem like the Black Ice Tiger barely escaped his attack, he who was right there could see how leisurely it moved its body without the slightest hurry
'Dragon Pierces the Void most likely won't work anymore.'
Assessing the situation, Yang Shen didn't show any nervousness or fear because even if he couldn't use his Battle Skill head on since the tiger would dodge it, he could obtain an opening at any point of time.
Starting towards the Black Ice Tiger to make sure he didn't miss any of its movements, Yang Shen by how scarlet the beast's eyes were and how the killing intent more than doubled could tell that it realized it had been poisoned.
Adding on how he could sense the Qi being released by the beast reduced by more than two times, Yang Shen knew that there was no way he could put some distance between him and the beast.
He had to push forward!
"Haaaa!"
Screaming loudly as he swung the spear with all of his strength, Yang Shen swiped the spear horizontally and forced the Black Ice Tiger to pay attention to him and not allow it to suppress the two poisons inside it.
Grrrrrr!
Growling as it dodged the attack, the King beast's eyes were full of hatred towards the despicable human who poisoned it not once, but two times!
Though both the venoms were weak and could be gotten rid of by it if it wanted to, the human in front of him just wasn't giving it the time to do so!
Therefore, the tiger who knew that it would be troublesome for its future if the venoms remained inside its body for too long decided to ignore them for now and get rid of the puny human in front of it.
Once it decided this, the Black Ice Tiger was full of disdain towards the human in front of it.
After all, now that it was turning serious and it would place all of its focus on getting rid of the human, he might as well say his final prayers.
