This time, the Blazing Flame Tiger had formed a massive fireball designed for wide-range damage, specifically meant to counter speed-type opponents.
"Damn! I can't dodge it…" Zhu Zhuqing's face darkened.
No matter which way she moved—left or right—the blast's aftershock would still hit. If she tried to fly into the air, the beast across from her could just strike her mid-flight.
It was a complete trap. A ten-thousand-year Spirit Beast was much harder to deal with than a thousand-year one.
"Zhuqing!" Ning Rongrong saw the situation was bad and immediately called out, worried as she stayed behind alone.
Anyone could tell that no matter how she dodged, this attack was unavoidable.
Even if she tried to use a counterattack like before to injure the Blazing Flame Tiger, Zhu Zhuqing herself wouldn't remain unscathed.
"What should I do!" Ning Rongrong stomped her small feet, fidgeting anxiously, even mimicking Wukong's movements.
She focused on sensing the Qi energy within herself, but no matter what she did, she couldn't condense it into a solid energy sphere like Zhu Zhuqing or Wukong.
"Why? Why can't I do it? Damn it!"
Ning Rongrong hated her own powerlessness. At a time like this, she couldn't step up like a battle Soul Master to help. She kept the amplification from her Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Tower active, afraid that if it stopped, Zhu Zhuqing would slow down…
Suddenly, Ning Rongrong remembered a technique Wukong had taught her before—a move that actually seemed useful.
"Zhuqing, wait! I'm coming to help!" Ning Rongrong shouted loudly.
She grabbed her Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Tower, keeping the amplification active, and even applied some of it to herself.
She charged straight at the Blazing Flame Tiger, ready to strike.
Wukong, floating in midair, looked puzzled: "What is that girl thinking? She doesn't think that just having Qi energy is enough to face a ten-thousand-year Spirit Beast, does she?"
Qi energy could enhance physical attributes, but not to such an extreme degree.
Ning Rongrong clearly intended to go head-to-head with the Blazing Flame Tiger. If she actually did, she would get smacked to death with a single swipe of its tail.
Wukong watched from above, a bit anxious. He had planned to fire an energy projectile to block the Tiger's fireball when it launched, so that Zhu Zhuqing wouldn't be affected if she moved.
But no matter how much he planned, he hadn't expected Ning Rongrong to charge straight at it.
Her courage was admirable, but she should know her limits. When Wukong had told her to hit Zhao Wuji with her tower, it was just for practice. She actually taking it seriously… was a bit much.
"Stop!" Ning Rongrong swung her tower and struck the Blazing Flame Tiger's backside.
The Tiger sensed something unusual and immediately stopped condensing the massive red fireball.
Zhu Zhuqing was stunned, her large black-and-white eyes blinking rapidly.
"Can it really be hit like that?" Zhu Zhuqing couldn't believe it, but the fact was right before her eyes.
It wasn't just because Ning Rongrong attacked—it was that the Tiger actually stopped forming a huge fireball from such a light strike.
Wukong, watching from above, said with interest: "So that's why you never touch a tiger's behind."
"Seems hitting it like this actually works. Looks like all felines are afraid of this move. No wonder Zhuqing always panicked when punished this way." Wukong recalled Zhu Zhuqing's scared expressions each time she was disciplined, her big eyes reflecting a mix of grievance and fear.
At first, Wukong thought she was just trying to act cute to avoid trouble—but it turned out she genuinely felt it.
"Looks like I'll have to use this a few more times, or she'll go overboard…."
Recently, Zhu Zhuqing had been a bit arrogant, even refusing simple touches. Wukong had to be careful—too much force and outsiders might accuse him of abuse.
Below, Ning Rongrong kept swinging the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Tower, hitting the Blazing Flame Tiger hard.
She muttered: "Die, die!" She wasn't afraid of being bitten back.
She trusted Zhu Zhuqing and didn't think Wukong would let them come so close without oversight, so he was surely watching silently from somewhere.
"Hmph, let's see when you'll come out," Ning Rongrong muttered, pouting like a victorious general, making her own mental calculations.
There was another advantage: with Qi energy, she could sense nearby power similar to her own.
Ning Rongrong had already sensed a presence following them—not an enemy, but a force very similar to Wukong's, radiating a warm feeling.
It was Wukong's Qi Light Explosion, collected back before he hovered above Zhu Zhuqing and her.
Why need another ball when I'm already here?
The proud Blazing Flame Tiger felt disdainful, barely bothering to attack Ning Rongrong. Killing an ant doesn't make you proud, after all.
It merely glanced back, then swung its massive tail—smack!—hitting Ning Rongrong.
"What… how can this be?" Ning Rongrong couldn't believe Wukong hadn't saved her.
The hit launched her six or seven meters into the air, crashing into a nearby tree. Her tower returned to her hand.
It wasn't deadly—don't think her body, reinforced with Qi energy, was so fragile.
Wukong looked on, shaking his head with helplessness: "Acting all innocent, you think I don't see through your little schemes?"
If I had shown up earlier, they would have noticed me. Ning Rongrong brazenly provoked the Tiger—fine, one tail swipe teaches her a lesson.
With the small distraction dealt with, the Blazing Flame Tiger refocused on Zhu Zhuqing.
Yet Zhu Zhuqing was nowhere to be seen.
When Ning Rongrong was flung away, Zhu Zhuqing had already noticed and used her speed to rush to her rescue.
"What a little fool. You think that scoundrel nearby would save us just because we're here?"
"He only acts when we're in real life-threatening danger. Otherwise, if we act recklessly or provoke him, he ignores it. I'm an exception—lucky me, but you're different!" Zhu Zhuqing covered her face, feeling both anxious and exhausted.
Although touched by Ning Rongrong trying to hit the Tiger with her tower, this was a risky rescue.
"How was I supposed to know…?" Ning Rongrong's face was bruised, her skirt covered in dust.
The Blazing Flame Tiger leapt to strike both of them in one blow—suddenly, a beam of light shot from above, blasting the Tiger to pieces.
The two stared in shock at the source of the laser and saw Wukong hovering in midair, one arm raised, smoke still rising from his recent laser attack.
