Chapter 496: Chapter 496: The Slaughter of the White Tiger_1
And the energy dissipating at the crater was the same as that of the Qiankun Twin Swords.
“No… impossible!”
“This is space… transfer?!”
The bearers of the Qiankun Twin Swords felt a violent tremor in their hearts, their minds booming.
No wonder, the moment their strike entered the tiger’s mouth, their perception seemed to be blocked, and by the time their perception was restored, they had already arrived at the explosion site.
…
In an instant, they realized that the mouth of the Ghost King Tiger actually possessed the function of space transfer, capable of redirecting attacks.
This was indeed a spatial divine ability!
However, it was said that even Heavenly Venerable powerhouses had not touched on the spatial dimension.
How could Xu Fan, who was merely at the Grandmaster Realm, achieve this?
This strong suspicion surged in the minds of the bearers of the Qiankun Twin Swords.
Xu Fan wore a light smile, somewhat surprised by the outcome himself.
As it turned out, the Ghost King Tiger had, by chance, awakened its racial innate divine ability after being devoured by the Four Symbols Creation Flag.

For a moment, Xu Fan wanted to say, “Looks like I am the chosen one!”
Nan Bowan sensed that something was amiss and couldn’t help but open his eyes to take a look. After seeing the situation clearly, both his left and right eyelids jumped uncontrollably, and he called out to Xu Fan from afar with a cupped fist salute, “Protector Xu, thanks!”
Xu Fan waved his hand, “No need for such words, Elder Nan. This incident started because of me; it is I who should be thanking you. Now that the situation is under control, you should step back and heal. It’s my turn to strike next.”
“Alright!”
Nan Bowan didn’t argue any further.
It proved that Xu Fan had enough strength to handle the current situation. In contrast, Nan Bowan, out of concern, had acted rashly and had almost compromised his own well-being.
Nan Bowan returned to the side of Qian Zongsheng and the others, and instantly felt relieved. No longer able to hold on, he was about to collapse when Qian Zongsheng and his party quickly steadied him.
Afterwards, he took a few deep breaths, took out a healing elixir, and began to heal.
Qian Zongsheng and the others guarded him while also constantly keeping an eye on the situation in the sky.
In the night sky.
The Qian Sword no longer had the intention of dealing with a powerless Nan Bowan, and said ominously, “Brat, what have you done to Lord Ghost King Tiger?”
“What do you think?” Xu Fan shrugged, spreading his hands out, “Maybe this little kitty just wanted to turn over a new leaf and see the light.”
“Nonsense!” The Qian Sword was so angry that his beard bristled, his eyes glaring furiously at Xu Fan.
“Big brother, why waste words with this kid? He doesn’t tell half a truth. Why not just capture him alive? With our torture methods, can’t we extract the truth?”
The Kun Sword was so furious that he was impatient to get started.
“Good!”
The Qian Sword immediately nodded, sneering, “Youngster, that move was terrifying, but with your cultivation level, it’s impossible for you to use it again soon.”
“Now, I’d like to see what other abilities you have to face two of us?”
As the Qian Sword spoke, he closely watched Xu Fan’s expression, as if trying to discern something from it.
Xu Fan floated relaxedly in the void, blinking calmly, “Old thing, you do have some insight. Indeed, I cannot use that move a second time.”
“Hmph, then what are you still showing off for?”
Relieved, the Kun Sword took on an arrogant demeanor, “Listen here, kid, I’m very angry right now, and the consequences will be severe. You and your woman, are you ready to die?”
Having said that, the Kun Sword looked maliciously towards Xu Yixue, laughing coldly, “Oh yes, I heard you have a daughter too. That’s even better; I quite like children, so I won’t kill her.”
“However, she’s so young, she definitely won’t remember anything. Even if she does, I’ll erase her memory. Then I’ll painstakingly train her into a homicidal maniac. When she grows up, I’ll have her kill all your friends in Zhonghai, tsk tsk tsk… just thinking about it feels exhilarating.”
Xu Fan couldn’t help but have a cold and piercing gaze, his anger soaring into the sky, and he said with an icy deliberation, “You—must die!”
The moment his voice dropped, Xu Fan summoned the Four Symbols Creation Flag, which then hovered above his head.
“Four Symbols Creation White Tiger Killing Formation!”
The flag immediately emitted a vast expanse of light, projecting a strange aura, and the sky above turned as bright as day.
The words of Kun Sword successfully infuriated Xu Fan and filled him with murderous intent.
“Roar!”
A lofty tiger’s roar, as if descending from the heavens, sounded like a deity in fury.
The Qiankun Twin Swords’ expressions changed as they sensed a chilling murderous aura swirling around them.
This murderous aura was not only emanating from Xu Fan himself but was also released by the flag, for among the Four Symbols, the White Tiger represents attack and slaughter.
Although Xu Fan possessed countless cultivation experiences and held mastery over numerous techniques and divine abilities, he actually couldn’t unleash them with his current power level.
This made the White Tiger Killing Formation his strongest current offensive technique.
Moreover, Xu Fan was full of confidence in the future combat potential of the Four Symbols Creation Flag.
Once the soul warriors of the Four Symbols were collected and the corresponding four formations in the flag were activated, he estimated there would also be a combined skill of the Four Symbols, at which time the power would be unpredictable, making even him look forward to it.
But that was all in the future.
The immediate priority was to deploy the White Tiger Killing Formation and do away with the Qiankun Twin Swords who had angered him.
“Second brother, defend quickly!”
Qian Sword already felt his heart pound and his back grow cold, facing an imminent crisis, and he dared not be distracted. He immediately concentrated fully, calling to Kun Sword to join him in countering Xu Fan’s deadly move.
Kun Sword naturally felt the same, his earlier arrogance gone, his expression turning solemn.
He moved behind Qian Sword, his palms pressing against Qian Sword’s back, circulating his True Qi with all his might, continuously transferring it to Qian Sword.
The two were twins, and their True Qi shared the same origin, allowing for seamless integration of their energies.
Suddenly, a blush emerged around both of their bodies, giving their complexions a hazy glow.
“Qian as heaven, Kun as earth, form our own realm! Defense!”
Qian Sword wielded the Blood Demon Sword to draw a circle, and the red glow around their bodies extended outward, using the circumference as a boundary to form a large shield of red light, enveloping both of them within.
“What’s this, turning into turtles in their shells now? Heh heh… what use is that?”
Xu Fan sneered and extended his right hand towards the void.
“Roar!”
Another earth-shaking roar came from the flag.
A massive tiger’s head emerged from the flag, followed by a huge body that stepped out of the flag.
Though it was only the phantom of a White Tiger, it was lifelike, with evenly spaced black stripes on snow-white fur, sleek and glossy, emanating a tremendous pressure of its own.
Though just a phantom, it was still a phantom of the White Tiger, incomparable to the likes of the Ghost King Tiger.
As soon as the White Tiger phantom stepped into the void, it let out a daunting roar that shook the wilds. Its gigantic body quivered, and with each step of its four paws, it made a thunderous “tada tada” sound as it beat the ground, creating an overwhelming momentum.
After running a circle in the void, golden lights appeared wherever the White Tiger phantom passed, and the void nearby trembled slightly.
Then, the White Tiger phantom cast its resolute gaze at the Qiankun Twin Swords. With a shift of its hooves, it charged ferociously towards them.
A hundred meters away, it reached them in an instant.
