The Tiger Demon was ultimately a level 28 BOSS; its Tiger Roar Soul Shattering Shout had a huge range and was almost impossible to dodge, so he had to get close and use his Big Move before the demon unleashed the roar.
Phantom Trace had a blink range of only ten steps; getting close wasn’t going to be easy... but wait, in the dream realm there was no cooldown period, could he not use unlimited Phantom Trace to get close instantly?
Deciding to act, Xiao Jie ran toward the Tiger Demon again, spotting from afar the demon proudly roaring at the sky.
Without a second thought, Xiao Jie started instant teleporting.
Phantom Trace! Phantom Trace! Phantom Trace! Phantom Trace! Phantom Trace!
In an instant, Xiao Jie’s figure flickered like a stuttering frame, appearing and disappearing over and over...
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh.
The Tiger Demon didn’t have time to react and was suddenly approached.
Illusion Shattering Bubble Shadow—Wind Roll Cloud—Wind Roll Cloud...
One brainless sequence of Big Moves later, the Tiger Demon was slain once again.
"Ha ha ha, see if you can still be so arrogant. I can unleash unlimited Big Moves; what can you do about it?"
Suddenly, continuous Tiger Roars echoed from behind; Xiao Jie’s expression changed, and turning around, he saw the Kui Li Mountain Lord using Tiger Roar Soul Shattering Shout while rapidly charging towards him.
Obviously, the Tiger Demon’s roaring skill also had no cooldown in the dream...
Damn it! Xiao Jie’s face fell. When it came to the range of skills, his opponent’s roar covered much more ground than his Phantom Trace, about thirty steps around. With such unlimited releases, it would be difficult for him to get close.
Each blink of Phantom Traceless revealed him for a fraction of a second, something unavoidable, and to get within ten steps of the opponent, he would have to be visible twice within the opponent’s skill range, inevitably taking a hit.
Xiao Jie steeled his heart; it seemed he had no choice but to use Spiritual Energy Skills.
Hopefully, using them in the dream wouldn’t actually deplete any Spiritual Energy.
White spiritual light gathered in the palm, charging—charging again—Three-stage Charge!
The white light in his palm shone like a small, dazzling sun, an energy wave formed from the pure gathered Spiritual Energy.
Boom! The white light wave blasted towards the Tiger Demon like a railgun, forcefully knocking the demon flying.
Wow, this move really packs a punch!
Xiao Jie checked his Spiritual Energy Value, relieved that it hadn’t changed.
Using such a skill in reality would definitely drain a lot of Spiritual Energy. It’s good it doesn’t in the dream realm; he could only resort to using it in critical moments.
Otherwise, just using it casually a few times might cause his level to drop.
After being blasted by several Qi Spirit Waves, the Tiger Demon’s figure gathered again.
This time, the Tiger Demon got smart and quickly dodged left and right as soon as it appeared. As Xiao Jie released the Qi Spirit Wave, the Tiger Demon agilely dodged the attack.
Seeing the Tiger Demon closing in again, Xiao Jie hurriedly deployed his Defense Skills.
A white light flashed around his body, a white Spiritual Energy like an egg-shaped force field enveloping him completely.
It looked totally safe.
Phantom Traceless! Phantom Traceless! Phantom Traceless!
Seeing Xiao Jie about to jump again, the Tiger Demon immediately started to roar.
However, this Qi Protection proved to be the lifesaver of a Qi Refiner, defending even against sound waves. The Spiritual Energy Shield rippled from the roaring but showed no signs of breaking, and Xiao Jie instantly closed in on the Tiger Demon, launching his Big Move—Illusion Shattering Bubble Shadow...
Ha ha, this combination is truly impeccable!
Xiao Jie thought proudly. It had to be said, although there were only three of them, the Qi Refiner’s Spiritual Energy Skills—effectively simple and unstoppable despite their significant side effects in reality—came in exceptionally handy.
Just , Xiao Jie killed the Tiger Demon over and over again, and seeing it revive continually, Xiao Jie was speechless.
"Stop, stop, stop!" he shouted.
The Tiger Demon actually stopped, fuming as it stared at Xiao Jie. "Kid, what do you want to say? Spit it out quickly, then we can continue."
"I mean, Brother Hu, what’s the point in being so stubborn? If you can’t win, just accept it. You keep letting me kill you—it’s getting boring even for me.
How about this? I’ll find some accomplished beings later to properly see you off, aiming to let you be reborn into a wealthy and noble family in your next life, how does that sound?"
"Humph, don’t try to sweet-talk me. I don’t care about what happens after this life. You’ve even consumed my inner core; my soul is already shattered. What next life could I possibly have?"
Xiao Jie thought, so there was such a setting? It seemed he was ignorant, but being able to communicate made things easier.
"Then there must be something you can’t let go of, right? Talk about it, and if I can help, I definitely will. Then you won’t have to bother me anymore, how about that?"
"Something I can’t let go of... Indeed, there is one thing."
A sad expression crossed the Tiger Demon’s face. "When I was being beaten to death by humans, my cubs were hiding in the cave, waiting for me to return with food. It’s been six or seven days now, and I don’t know if they’re still alive. If you could help me check on my cubs, take care of them and settle them well, then I won’t bother you anymore. Can you manage that?"
System Notification: Triggered Vestige Task [Kui Li Mountain Lord’s Last Wish].
Task Description: You encountered an obsessive residual spirit of a Tiger Demon in the dream realm. The demon hopes you could help look after its cubs and has promised to stop bothering you upon completion.
