Tang Yin constantly retreated, although he had left 2 deep wounds on the 3-Eyed Black Tiger, the tiger's physical strength was still terrifying. He could not let the 3-Eyed Black Tiger get closer to him; he was going to use the kite strategy.
Tang Yin retreated constantly under the harassment of the mad 3-Eyed Black Tiger, he would occasionally thrust his Abyssal Sword at the tiger, leaving a small wound each time.
10 minutes passed like this, Tang Yin and the 3-Eyed Black Tiger had both come to a deadlock, they were both inhaling and exhaling like exhausted dogs.
The 3-Eyed Black Tiger had numerous wounds all over its body including the 2 deep gashes, it was standing within a small puddle of its own blood. Tang Yin wasn't unscathed either, he had 2 long shallow wounds in the shape of claw marks across his chest and back, courtesy of the tiger.
Both Tang Yin and the 3-Eyed Black Tiger knew the next move would decide the victor of this battle to the death. Whoever took the initiative first to strike would have the advantage.
The 3-Eyed Black Tiger did not hesitate any longer, the closed eye on its glabella opened. The eye inside was completely red, a demonic red. A strong sense of danger overcame Tang Yin, he looked at the 3-Eyed Black Tiger's 3rd eye, he knew this was the source of the danger he sensed.
A demonic red beam of light shot through the 3-Eyed Black Tiger 3rd eye straight towards Tang Yin, 'It's too quick, I can't dodge in time'. Tang Yin knew he could not dodge in time. He resolutely wielded his Abyssal Sword and thrust it forward, the sword and red beam of light made contact.
Swoosh, as soon as the red beam of light made contact with the Abyssal Sword, it disappeared. Both Tang Yin and the 3-Eyed Black Tiger were stunned, none of them had predicted this outcome.
Tang Yin's arm burst forth with great pain, he grunted. The source of the almost unbearable pain was the Abyssal Sword, there was a black aura-like substance swimming around the edges of the blade.
Tang Yin did not have time to think, the 3-Eyed Black Tiger had snapped out of its stupor and pounced towards him. However, the tiger looked haggard, as if it had aged many years in the blink of an eye.
Tang Yin swung his Abyssal Sword to repel the 3-Eyed Black Tiger. Suddenly something completely unexpected happened, the black aura like substance had around the Abyssal Sword materialized, it had turned into a sword energy which flew towards the tiger when Tang Yin swung the sword.
The 3-Eyed Black Tiger was split in half by the sword energy, like a hot knife slicing through butter. The sword energy did not dissipate after cleanly slicing through the tiger, it had become duller but continued towards the trees behind the now split in half 3-Eyed Black Tiger.
Bang after bang continuously rang out in Tang Yin's ears, he could see and hear multiple trees descending, they had all been sliced in half. The black sword energy had already dissipated at this point, all its power had been used up.
Tang Yin looked at the Abyssal Sword in shock and amazement once again, this sword had brought him shock and surprise again and again. He thought back to what had happened, and enlightenment appeared on his face.
His Heaven Devouring Abyss Martial Spirit was a Martial Spirit that devoured everything. The Martial Skill, Abyssal Sword which was derived from the Heaven Devouring Abyss Martial Spirit had clearly inherited its properties. The only difference was that the Abyssal Sword did not nourish Tang Yin with the energy it devoured, but instead converted that energy into a black sword energy.
The amount of power Tang Yin felt from the black sword energy was the same amount he had felt from that red beam of light the 3-Eyed Black Tiger had used as a trump card.
From this, Tang Yin concluded that the power of the black sword energy depended on the amount of energy it had devoured to power itself. This revelation had left him dumbfounded; the Heaven Devouring Abyssal Sanskrit had not mentioned any of this when he looked at the description of the Abyssal Sword. But this also opened up an endless number of possibilities for him in the future when he would obtain more Martial Skills from the Sanskrit.
Tang Yin only stopped gawking a few breaths later when he had managed to calm down. He sat down beside the 2 halves of the 3-Eyed Black Tiger and activated his Heaven Devouring Abyss Martial Spirit.
'Devour' Tang Yin commanded, the soul of the 3-Eyed Black Tiger swiftly manifested above its split corpse. With a vacant look in its eyes, the soul was sucked into the black vortex of the Heaven Devouring Abyss Martial Spirit. After devouring its soul, he devoured the blood, flesh and bones of the 3-Eyed Black Tiger. Tang Yin returned to his peak, his wounds from the battle had healed, and his fatigue vanished.
Tang Yin also felt a strong increase in his cultivation. Although he had not reached the 7th stage of the Spirit Channelling Realm, he had gotten closer.
Tang Yin got up and turned his attention towards the violet flower with a fruit at its core, the dense medicinal fragrance and Qi around it screamed of its value. He did not know what it was, but it looked like a treasure, he walked towards the boulder.
When he reached the boulder, Tang Yin carefully plucked the violet flower out of the boulder while making sure not to damage it. After plucking it out of the boulder, he stored it away in his storage ring.
