Boom!!
The fist, infused with the power of Longxiang Wisdom, smashed fiercely into the side of the White Tiger's face.
That massive head was instantly pressed down to the ground, creating a loud crackling noise.
The ground immediately collapsed into a large crater, spreading out for five zhang in every direction, fracturing inch by inch.
Debris shattered and flew, spreading around the vicinity.
The White Tiger was only hit with a confusing blur in its eyes, barely able to open them.
Its body desperately struggled, its limbs scraping against the ground, and its tail whipping through the air emitted a series of tearing screeches.
Before Su Mo could deliver a second punch, the hind paw had already reached behind him, violently kicking out.
The powerful force arrived instantaneously, and Su Mo couldn't help but be flung into the air.
The tiger's claws were sharp, and the clothes on his back were immediately torn with three gashes.
Yet, even so, Su Mo's skin was not grazed in the slightest.
With one hand he slapped the ground, flipping in the air and quickly standing upright.
Turning back, the White Tiger had already rolled to its feet.
When it opened its eyes to stare at Su Mo, they were a bit sluggish; it simply stretched out its paw to scrape its own face twice, resembling a giant white cat.
If it weren't for the red eyes revealing a profound murderous intent, it would almost seem endearingly clueless.
After scraping its face twice, feeling somewhat better, it then crouched down once more, staring straight at Su Mo with a dangerous growl emanating from its throat.
From the three exchanges before, the first time Su Mo dodged, the second time he kicked it, and now he had landed a punch.
It finally recognized that its opponent was not on the same level as the previous ones.
It dared not pounce directly, but instead paced from side to side, fixating its stare on Su Mo, looking for opportunities from different directions.
Seeing this, Su Mo couldn't help but admire it:
"What an ironclad body of steel bones."
His punch was truly forceful, yet after only scraping its head twice, it was as if nothing had happened.
The High Priest and the Chief Steward had now come out from the Divine Temple and stood at the doorway, witnessing this, the High Priest hurriedly said:
"Lord Su, the Chief of the Escort, please see clearly. This Evil Tiger has grown up alongside the Holy Artifact and its body has been tempered thousands of times by the inner power of the Emperor Heart Technique.
"Now, after merging with the Holy Artifact, it naturally possesses the power of the White Tiger Physique Technique.
"Steel bones, nearly impervious to blades and spears, its physical robustness is indeed rarely seen in this world!"
The White Tiger seemed irked to have its secrets revealed and couldn't help but turn and roar towards the High Priest and the Chief Steward.
The High Priest's face turned pale, and the General also let out a muffled grunt.
This roar contained inner strength.
It was perfectly aligned with the Tiger Roar from the White Tiger Heart Mind Technique; the inner power reverberated forcefully, instantly aggravating the inner injuries of those two individuals.
Seeing this, the White Tiger's eyes suddenly lit up.
Turning back to look at Su Mo, it let out a ferocious roar.
It wondered, if the High Priest and General couldn't withstand its furious roar, then why should Su Mo be able to?
However, despite its fearsome roar that shook the air and even made the stones on the ground tremble, the ground beneath it seemed to waver.
But Su Mo simply picked at his ear:
"After all, it's just a beast, what the hell is it screaming for..."
The White Tiger was momentarily stunned, it tried roaring a couple more times, and confirming that it indeed had no effect on Su Mo, it then charged in anger and frustration.
Only this time, it was smarter; before it reached him, its huge paw was already swinging at him.
The sharp claws, each like a blade's edge, aimed to tear Su Mo into pieces.
But as the paw struck down, Su Mo had vanished without a trace.
Looking back, Su Mo had already appeared behind it, which played right into his hands; he immediately swept his tail, whipping the void with cracking noises.
Su Mo caught the tail with one hand, and as he looked up, the White Tiger had turned around, and its mouth was already upon him.
The huge White Tiger, jaws agape, could eat several times Su Mo's size.
Yet Su Mo merely smiled, and his foot flew up, aiming for its lower jaw, and not expecting the White Tiger to now smarten up.
Its two front paws braced against the ground, halting abruptly.
What had been a surefire move for Su Mo ended up missing.
As Su Mo leapt into the air, the White Tiger, instead of closing its jaws, readied itself to catch Su Mo from below...
Su Mo laughed heartily at this, still holding onto the tail in his hand.
In midair, he pulled forcefully, and the White Tiger was dragged out of position, unable to maintain its posture of waiting to catch Su Mo from above.
Confusion was clearly evident in its eyes.
The next moment, its eyes were filled with rage.
It swung its tail, attempting to shake Su Mo off, but before it could fully exert strength, Su Mo's toes suddenly tapped against the void, and with a twist of his waist, the White Tiger instantly lost its footing.
Even though it franticly scraped the ground, kicking up dust and debris, it couldn't regain control.
In this world's Martial Arts, all techniques share a common root.
Generally speaking, when a person is midair, they actually cannot leverage force.
However, Su Mo, master of the Great Success of the Wind God Step, was an exception to the usual martial principles.
Even if he was midair, he could make use of the wind's momentum.
As long as he could get a bit of force, his full power could be immediately unleashed.
Thus, even at this very moment, suspended in air, with a shift of force, the White Tiger was dragged by him, and following his two seemingly empty steps in midair, the White Tiger was even more destabilized on its feet.
