Chapter 1405 - 899: The White Tiger Pact

On the next day, at the break of dawn.

The peak of the snowy mountain at dawn was particularly cold.

The piercing cold wind swept under the Twin Trees, making a woman’s long hair dance lightly.

Yang Qingqing quietly opened her eyes, looking at the white glow on the horizon, she slowly exhaled a breath, releasing wisps of white mist.

The woman looked to her right, where Chi Bear Hongye was leaning against the Divine Wood, her bear face raised and mouth open, sleeping in an unruly manner.

Hmm... she was just short of snoring.

And in Chi Bear’s furry, soft embrace, a beautiful girl was curled up, sleeping soundly.

The summit of Kunlun Mountain is indeed frigid,

but the girl had the warm Chi Bear Large Pillow and the Cloak Wind Witch to shield her from the wind and snow, so she slept very sweetly.

Upon seeing this warm and beautiful scene, Yang Qingqing’s face also showed a hint of a smile.

Since early June when she joined the battle, it has been nearly a month and a half.

Day and night, Yang Qingqing remained tense alongside the human and beast race warriors.

Defending, counterattacking, killing, calculating.

In the exchanges between the Twin Tree Realm and the Youhan Tree Realm, Yang Qingqing’s seemingly fair palms had been stained with an uncountable amount of blood.

Her usually calm heart had become somewhat numb from the initial hidden agitation upon entering the battlefield to now.

No one knew how much the sweet, sound sleeping of Shen Mengnan healed Yang Qingqing’s heart.

Except...

Yang Qingqing slowly floated over to the cute girl’s side.

Hongye immediately opened her eyes and, since her head was already raised, she saw Master Qing floating in the air.

Yang Qingqing gently lowered her hand, signaling Hongye not to make a sound, and then pointed at the girl in her arms.

Hongye was very obedient, she extended her Demon Soul and merged it into Li Mengnan’s mind: "Master?"

"Hmm..." Li Mengnan, sleepy and fuzzy, responded softly.

Holding the mistress in her arms, Hongye whispered, "Master Qing is calling you."

"Hmm?" Li Mengnan woke up immediately and turned to look.

She saw Yang Qingqing standing in mid-air, slowly turning and looking towards the faint glow on the horizon.

Li Mengnan realized it was time to go.

She pressed her lips together, carefully got up, and looked not far away.

On the large bed made of Divine Tree Leaves, Silver Cat and Du Yu were snoring in sleep together.

Lord Baojun was not pressing on Du Yu, but had curled up his huge figure, surrounding Du Yu in the center, shielding him from the cold wind and frost.

Li Mengnan quietly flew to Desolate Silver Lynx’s ear, gently touched the tuft of fur on its sharp ear.

Desolate Silver Lynx’s ear gently folded, and it opened its eyes.

Li Mengnan raised a finger to her lips, then tilted her head sideways.

Desolate Silver Lynx: "..."

It took a deep look at the dreaming Du Yu, and a few seconds later, its figure fluttered lightly to the ground.

The two, with a bear and a lynx, quietly left the bottom of the Twin Trees.

Hongye extended strands of Demon Soul: "Master Qing, Tai Sui is still within the master."

Yang Qingqing: "Let Tai Sui stay here, it’s close to advancing."

Hongye: "Ying."

In the dim light, four figures quickly went far, gradually disappearing into the snowstorm.

Under the Twin Trees, as usual, there was silence, only the sound of the howling cold wind.

And amidst the "sleeping" on the tree leaves, Du Yu also opened his eyes.

Demon Breath Tree: "Why not say goodbye to them?"

The voice of Demon Breath Tree was equally old, but compared to the Divine Spirit Tree, the tone of the Demon Tree was gentler.

Du Yu lay sideways on the tree leaf bed, speaking softly: "Master Qing chose to leave at this time so she didn’t want me to know."

Demon Breath Tree: "She knows you’re awake."

Du Yu whispered: "Yes, I know."

Demon Breath Tree lightly sighed: "Humans, complex beings."

Du Yu grinned: "You have stood on this continent for nearly a thousand years, should have seen all kinds of people, accustomed to everything?"

Demon Breath Tree fell into silence, perhaps reminiscing.

The hazy sky gradually brightened.

Du Yu also got up from bed, linking mentally with the White Tiger: "Divine Wind Demon Saint?"

"Whoosh~"

The wind surged suddenly, and the huge White Tiger quickly took form from behind Du Yu.

Du Yu turned around, looked up, and saw the White Tiger crouching down, stretching lazily with a ferocious attitude.

"Did you sleep well?" Du Yu, seeing the big cat’s demeanor, felt a little better.

"The acupoints of humans are indeed my beast race’s home." White Tiger indeed felt comfortable, "Seeing is believing."

Du Yu was puzzled: "Has Divine Wind Demon Saint never contracted with the Hu Family?"

"No." White Tiger shook its head, "Humans, just call me Divine Wind."

"Okay, then you call me Du Yu." Du Yu stopped dwelling on the question but said, "Your demon skill needs to be infused with Fire Demon Breath for me to team up with you to perform it."

White Tiger gently nodded: "I will first perform various demon skills and explain them to you."

Both Du Yu and the White Tiger were clearly not ones for idle chat, with brief exchanges, they got to the point.

The demon skills of the White Tiger race mostly began with the words "Divine Wind."

Among them, several demon skills felt very familiar to Du Yu.

For example, Demon Skill· Divine Wind Tail was very similar to Desolate Silver Lynx’s Gallows Tail.

And Demon Skill· Divine Wind Blow was just like the Wind Element General Demon Skill· Little Wind Blow.

Demon Skill· Mighty Tiger Roar was a type of battle shout, a deterrent demon skill, while Demon Skill· Divine Wind Shattering allowed the body to shatter into wind, freely enter and exit the battlefield.

As for the remaining demon skills, they truly opened Du Yu’s eyes!

Divine Wind Claw could tear open spatial rifts, not only to slay enemies but also to allow the White Tiger race to freely traverse.

Mountain Guardian Tiger would put a white tiger shell made of wind and waves over the caster, resisting all enemy attacks.

Divine Wind Dance not only could make oneself lighter but also be applied to allies!

The White Tiger race indeed regarded themselves as Guardian Beasts.

Compared to output skills, the White Tiger race’s support techniques clearly prevailed.

Without exception, when Du Yu chopped down Cold Wood, Hu Yi carrying the Supreme White Tiger would undoubtedly enhance Du Yu with Demon Skill· Divine Wind Dance!

Du Yu couldn’t even imagine how fast his speed would be at that time!

He also made up his mind to request Supreme Lord to step out in a few days for a rehearsal.

The last two Demon Skills are indeed the divine skills among divine skills!

Demon Skill·Wind Following Tiger: Sensing the Wind Element within a certain range, no movement goes unnoticed by the White Tiger Race.

Demon Skill·Calm the Storm: Imprisoning the Wind Demon Breath within a certain range, forcing all Wind Element Demon Skills in the area to stop!

When Du Yu first heard of this Demon Skill, he was completely stunned!

What the heck is this?

Isn’t this outright a glitch?

Du Yu originally thought that Celestial Cyan Porcelain’s Demon Skill·Sea-Devouring River (absorbing and immunizing all Water Element Demon Skills) was already scary enough.

Unexpectedly, the White Tiger Race actually came up with "Calm the Storm"?!

Looking at it this way, the White Tiger Race is indeed comparable to the Dragon Turtle Race!

At least when facing Demon Beasts of the same attribute, they are already unbeatable.

However, note that the White Tiger Race stops Wind Demon Breath and Wind Demon Skills, not normal wind.

The cold wind on Kunlun Mountain still blows as usual...

"Good fellow~" Du Yu grinned, looking up at the Holy Beast White Tiger.

"Our race has guarded Kunlun Void for generations." Divine Wind Tiger raised its head, looking at the Towering Divine Tree, "In this sacred mission, we have comprehended this powerful technique."

Du Yu nodded, his mind swirling with thoughts.

After learning the Great Demon Saint’s all nine Demon Skills, Du Yu realized one problem: The White Tiger Race has no group output skill!

Not to mention group output, even methods of single output are relatively scarce.

Of course, scarce doesn’t mean weak!

Just one Demon Skill·Divine Wind Claw is enough to shred all living beings.

After all, Divine Wind Claw tears open spatial rifts!

So... the strongest soldier?

Seems not quite accurate either.

The White Tiger Race’s support skills are extraordinarily outstanding!

Explosive mobility, capable of defense, control, and support!

Indeed,

If I pair Little Mengnan with one of these...

As a Wind Element Demon Tamer, wouldn’t she graduate directly?

"Oh?" To receive Du Yu’s recognition, even the Divine Wind White Tiger couldn’t help but feel proud.

However, the Holy Tiger was still somewhat confused: "Who? That girl in white robe?"

"Uh." Du Yu realized he was thinking through the contract again.

The Divine Wind White Tiger lowered its beast head, its ice-blue eyes looking at the little human below.

Out of habit, Du Yu raised his hand, but the White Tiger didn’t continue lowering its head.

Awkward!

Du Yu was accustomed to petting the Desolate Silver Lynx; no matter how hard-hearted Lord Baojun’s mouth was, its body was always honest.

As long as Du Yu reached out, the big cat would likely lower its head to enjoy its master’s affection.

However, the big cat before him wasn’t his Demon Pet, but a newly joined comrade-in-arms.

"People see my White Tiger Race and can’t resist wanting to contract us as pets, to claim us." Holy Tiger spoke softly.

It looked at Du Yu, a playful glimmer in its ice-blue tiger eyes: "Even the Hu Family is no exception, but you want to give it to someone else to contract?

Does Du Yu have so many Supremes in his body that he looks down on our race?"

Although saying such, the Divine Wind White Tiger was only teasing.

Due to the contract linking them, Divine Wind sensed Du Yu’s strong intention.

It’s not that he despises the White Tiger Race,

On the contrary, Du Yu values the Divine Wind White Tiger greatly, and thus wants the girl in white robe to contract it.

"No, no." Du Yu quickly shook his head to deny, "How could that be?"

"Then why?"

Du Yu withdrew his hand from mid-air, smiling: "Like you, I also have things I want to protect."

The Divine Wind White Tiger’s eyes widened, truly unexpected that Du Yu would say such a thing.

"Alright Divine Wind, quickly train the Demon Skills." Du Yu suggested, "When casting each Demon Skill, mix in Fire Attribute for ease of my future casting."

As he spoke, Du Yu suddenly felt a surge in his heart.

If Demon Skill·Calm the Storm is integrated with Fire Demon Breath, could it halt Fire Element Demon Skills?

Uh... seems a bit far-fetched?

Just as Du Yu was pondering, the tiger head suddenly descended further.

Du Yu instinctively reached out both hands and finally embraced the beautiful tiger head with white base and black stripes.

Divine Wind White Tiger: "Indeed, a noble soul."

Du Yu blushed a bit: "No, no, that’s my girlfriend, happens to be Wind Specialization, fits your race’s contract standards."

Divine Wind White Tiger: "If you and I can destroy Cold Wood, and protect the Divine Guardian Tree eternally, perhaps I might consider."

Du Yu: "Huh?"

With a hint of amusement in its eyes, the White Tiger gently rubbed its large beast head against Du Yu’s embrace: "Being with people like you should be quite interesting."

Du Yu was ecstatic, filled with excitement: "Really?"

"Hehe." The White Tiger slowly lifted its beast head, "How much does Du Yu understand about the concept of Supreme?"

Du Yu replied humbly: "A little bit."

Divine Wind White Tiger: "Do you know, there can only be one Supreme in a particular region?"

"Yes, the law of any one realm can only have one spokesperson." As he spoke, Du Yu understood the Divine Wind White Tiger’s implication.

The Kunlun Realm already has a Supreme·White Tiger present!

Meaning all other White Tigers of the Divine Wind Race are being suppressed!

It’s only because the White Tigers vow to protect the Twin Divine Trees that they do not leave.

However,

If Du Yu can completely destroy the Cold Tree, ensuring the Kunlun Divine Tree has no threats and lasts forever...

"Great!!" Du Yu shouted loudly.

Cold Tree, oh Cold Tree,

Seems like you have another reason for me to tear you to pieces.
