Urban God of War: The Live-in Son-in-law-Chapter 648 - 643: Golden Horn Tiger
Yu Feiyu hadn't understood why Hong Qingyan would say that, but subconsciously, she felt her hair stand on end, a strong sense of crisis in her heart. Before she could react, she had already been dragged away by Hong Qingyan.
Boom!
A loud bang erupted as a massive claw slammed down onto the spot where they had just been standing, cracking the ground open with an enormous fissure.
Yu Feiyu looked at the crack on the ground with alarm and a sense of aftershock, then quickly turned her attention to the owner of the enormous claw.
At that moment, a vast figure appeared before everyone. The figure was covered in red fur with black stripes, and on its forehead was the character for "king": it was a tiger!
However, this tiger was not quite like those they usually saw. It was massive enough to take up two basketball courts, standing several meters tall, with two golden horns on its huge head.
This tiger was now looking down at Hong Qingyan and Yu Feiyu, its eyes filled with greed. It opened its massive, blood-filled mouth to reveal sharp fangs, emitting a foul odor, and drool continuously dripped down.
Yu Feiyu was instantly scared by the fierce appearance of the tiger, her face turning slightly pale.
Hong Qingyan, with Yu Feiyu, put distance between themselves and the tiger, her beautiful eyes filled with caution as she carefully examined the sudden appearance of the fierce tiger.
"An Alien Beast of the Golden Core Realm, the Golden Horn Tiger. Don't be afraid, Feiyu, we should be able to handle it together. I'll take the offensive, and you harass it from the side!"
Hong Qingyan quickly assessed the situation. From what Old Man Huang Niu had taught her in the Northwest Little Mountain Village, and with the knowledge she had about the Alien Beasts from the Outer Battlefield, she recognized it.
Since they had already arrived at the Outer Battlefield, they were naturally prepared for battle. This was their first encounter with an Alien Beast in the Outer Battlefield, but their luck seemed to be quite poor; they had encountered a Golden Horn Tiger with the strength comparable to a Grandmaster of the Golden Core Realm right from the start.
As Hong Qingyan finished speaking, a longsword had already appeared in her hand. The moment she grasped the longsword, her aura began to rise.
Yu Feiyu also calmed down and nodded. She had only been startled by the sudden ambush, aware that combat was inevitable, and she drew a soft sword from her waist as well.
Seeing that Hong Qingyan and Yu Feiyu had both drawn their weapons, the Golden Horn Tiger let out a heaven-shaking roar: "Roar!!"
At this sound, the surrounding mountains trembled, and the stones on the ground shook uncontrollably.
Hong Qingyan's eyes hardened; she knew that the Golden Horn Tiger was displaying its might.
As Yu Feiyu was weaker, she was already feeling uncomfortable from the roar.
The Golden Horn Tiger's gaze shifted, seemingly revealing a hint of amusement, and then it extended a massive paw, its razor-sharp claws sweeping toward Hong Qingyan and Yu Feiyu without hesitation!
Hong Qingyan's face changed slightly, surprised that the Golden Horn Tiger would launch an attack so quickly. She shouted, "Feiyu, you attack from the side; leave the front to me!"
With that, Hong Qingyan lifted her longsword and charged directly at the Golden Horn Tiger, slashing her longsword across its enormous paw.
Bang!
She was forced back several steps by the paw of the Golden Horn Tiger, her eyes revealing astonishment. The tiger's strength was immense; although she caught the claw, her arm was already partly numb from the impact.
The Golden Horn Tiger, clearly dissatisfied with its claw being parried by Hong Qingyan, roared angrily again. This time, instead of extending its massive paw, its entire colossal body charged at Hong Qingyan.
Hong Qingyan snorted coldly, not showing any weakness as she lifted her longsword to meet the charge once more.
Meanwhile, Yu Feiyu was not idle either. She carried her soft sword to the Golden Horn Tiger's side and swooped by its body during the charge, slicing at it with her sword!
But Yu Feiyu quickly realized that no matter how she attacked, she couldn't even break through the Golden Horn Tiger's fur.
"Sister Qingyan, it's no use. This Golden Horn Tiger's fur is incredibly defensive; my attacks are practically ineffective!" Yu Feiyu urgently said. Even using her strongest moves, she had only managed to leave a white mark on the Golden Horn Tiger's body without breaking through its defenses.
On the front lines battling the Golden Horn Tiger, Hong Qingyan found herself in a tough spot as well. She realized she had overestimated her own strength; even her most powerful sword moves could only leave shallow wounds on the tiger, which were negligible to the beast.
The Golden Horn Tiger, now wounded, was visibly angrier, its frequency and power of attacks increasing, leaving Hong Qingyan struggling to withstand them.
Moreover, she discovered she was not yet proficient in wielding her Golden Core Realm power; possessing the realm, she felt she was only able to exert about eighty percent of her strength.
What Hong Qingyan didn't know was that she wasn't fully in control of her power because she had advanced to the next realm while unconscious.
However, to her relief, as she fought the Golden Horn Tiger, she could clearly feel her control over her power growing more adept, and her combat became more fluid and natural.
But Hong Qingyan's attacks were still rather ineffective against the Golden Horn Tiger, barely scratching it. Even during the fight, she failed to dodge one of the tiger's claws, and got sent flying with blood spilling from the corner of her mouth, sustaining some minor injuries.
Hong Qingyan's expression was extremely ugly. After exchanging blows, she had realized she was probably no match for the Golden Horn Tiger.
By now, the Golden Horn Tiger had numerous wounds on its body, but none were fatal. They were merely superficial scratches.
"This can't continue, the strength of this Golden Horn Tiger far exceeds mine."
Hong Qingyan's gaze was stern. Yu Feiyu had returned to her side, both of their expressions grim. As a Half-Step Golden Core, Yu Feiyu was still quite a distance from the Golden Core Realm and couldn't inflict any substantial damage on the Golden Horn Tiger.
"So what do we do now, Sister Qingyan? If we can't beat it, we might as well run. It doesn't seem very fast, so we should be able to get away," Yu Feiyu suggested, having observed that the Golden Horn Tiger's movement speed did not seem especially fast, which indicated they might have a chance to escape.
Hong Qingyan nodded. If they couldn't win, of course they had to flee.
"Let's go!"
Hong Qingyan took Yu Feiyu, and they turned and rushed away toward another direction. They had to escape.
Seeing Hong Qingyan and Yu Feiyu trying to flee, the Golden Horn Tiger seemed to be irritated. It let out another roar, and although it previously moved slowly, its body suddenly burst into a red glow, and it sprinted towards them at an incredibly rapid pace. In just the blink of an eye, it had caught up with Hong Qingyan and Yu Feiyu!
Hong Qingyan looked back to see the Golden Horn Tiger approaching at an astonishing speed, her face paling once more.

"Not good, the Golden Horn Tiger is so fast, it was holding back its strength before!"
Hong Qingyan instantly realized that the Golden Horn Tiger had been toying with them. Its speed was not slow at all; it was simply not taking them seriously and had slowed down its attacks!
Hong Qingyan's face darkened. She had overestimated her strength as a Newly Advanced Golden Core Powerhouse. A Golden Core Realm Alien Beast possessed human-like intelligence and was not so easy to deal with.
If push came to shove, she would have to use her Wings of Light, but operating the Wings of Light was greatly draining, and exhausting herself in the Outer Battlefield was extremely dangerous. She couldn't afford to use it lightly until absolutely necessary.
And just then, exactly where Hong Qingyan and Yu Feiyu had entered through the Gate of Whirlpool, another Whirlpool Gate appeared. Two figures had arrived — it was Xiao Chuanqi and Sima Zhantian, pursuing them.
As soon as Xiao Chuanqi landed, he saw the cracks on the ground, as well as the huge paw prints!
Xiao Chuanqi frowned and said, "It seems a battle just took place here; there's still a lot of lingering energy."
Sima Zhantian was also observing the surroundings, anxious, "It must be the Mistress and the others; it seems they've encountered danger. We need to find them quickly."
"With this size, and the surrounding residue of Power, it's probably a Golden Core Realm Alien Beast..."
Xiao Chuanqi raised his brow, scanning the area. Quickly, he noticed that the huge footprints led in a certain direction.
"Follow the footprints; they can't be far off. We need to speed up!"
Xiao Chuanqi's aura burst forth as he followed the trail at high speed.
Sima Zhantian released his own aura and hastily followed.
Both being mid-tier Grandmasters of the Golden Core Realm, they moved extremely fast!
Not far ahead where the two men were headed, in a mountainous area, Hong Qingyan and Yu Feiyu were once again intercepted by the Golden Horn Tiger and were embroiled in another difficult battle.
Both Hong Qingyan and Yu Feiyu were slightly slower than the Golden Horn Tiger, and this was the second time they had been stopped.
This time, the Golden Horn Tiger was clearly becoming impatient, having lost its playful tolerance. It wanted to quickly deal with the two humans and devour them as soon as possible.
Boom!
Hong Qingyan and Yu Feiyu were simultaneously sent flying by the Golden Horn Tiger, both pale with traces of blood at the corners of their mouths, evidently injured.
Hong Qingyan gritted her teeth; she could activate her Wings of Light to greatly boost her Combat Power, but in her current state, she could only maintain it for slightly over a minute.
She had to find the Golden Horn Tiger's weak spot. Only then could she activate the Wings of Light and swiftly defeat the tiger.
Otherwise, given the Golden Horn Tiger's defensive power, if she couldn't kill it within the minute she could maintain the Wings of Light, she would indeed end up as the tiger's meal.
