《The One and Only》23. Having no Guts to Look Back
Advertisement
Actually Lin Yun snapped a bargain to kill the first Ink Flame Tiger easily.
Thanks to its body, Lin Yun remembered the shape of its claws. Now he began to look for another one through the footprints.
And this way, he had greatly increased his efficiency.
In less than two days, Lin Yun had found the same footprints of an Ink Flame Tiger in the mountains.
He kept walking along the footprints.
After climbing over quite a few ridges, Lin Yun finally saw an Ink Flame Tiger in the thick jungle.
Five hundred meters away in the darkness showed a six-meter high giant Ink Flame Tiger. It looked like it was digesting the food with the eyes closed.
Lin Yun knew such solitary evil beast had hyper vigilance.
Even with eyes closed, it could still notice any slight change around.
“Maybe I should take it by storm, and see if I could make some improvement of my Tiger Fist.”
In the fight with a Flower Spot Tiger, he had made great improvement of his Tiger Fist.
Now facing an Ink Flame Tiger, it was a great opportunity to use his Tiger Fist and to achieve to the Completion level.
With a howl, Lin Yun jumped out from where he hid. In an instant he already threw a lethal move Tiger Roaring in Forest.
The Ink Flame Tiger who was taking a nap with its eyes closed suddenly opened its eyes, with a burst of evil spirit.
The momentum of the king in the mountains broke out.
Lin Yun was astonished at the strong evil spirit, a few times stronger than the one he had encountered three days ago.
Although he had concentrated himself on that tiger in the scroll in his mind, he could still feel the great pressure.
But since he had thrown the punch, there was no way back.
Boom!
He hit the head of the Ink Flame Tiger. The head should be a vital part of all evil beasts. But Lin Yun felt like he hit on a steel plate.
The reactive force numbed his arm.
Roar!
The Ink Flame Tiger roared with fury, like it was ringing in Lin Yun’e ears.
Lin felt like a buzz in his head. He felt quite dizzy. And its roar kept ringing in his head.
Numerous birds and beasts were panicked. And a large flock of birds flew out of the woods.
The Ink Flame Tiger was a tyrant evil beast in the mountains. It was like a king in hundreds of miles around.

And now the roar of the tiger scared numerous evil beasts.
Lin Yun was stunned, because he never expected that the Ink Flame Tiger of the top level would be so powerful.
Pia!
Before Lin had time to react, the tiger’s palm patted on his chest and threw him in the air.
Lin Yun then fell on the ground and hit a tree, with kind of astonishment in his eyes.
How had the four rats from Yun Family severely injured that Ink Flame Tiger?
He processed the information in a wrong way. He thought even the four servants of Yun Family could have badly injured the Ink Flame Tiger, of course he could kill one with his ability.
But he didn’t expect an Ink Flame Tiger at the top level would be so scary.
The Ink Flame Tiger went ballistic. When it stood up, its body was as high as six meters. In Lin Yun eyes, it was like a hill, strong and ferocious.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
When it ran insanely, it was quite agile, though it had a huge body.
“Good timing!”
The strong Ink Flame Tiger didn’t scare Lin Yun, but stimulated his fighting spirit on the contrary.
Having no time to care about the pains in his chest, Lin Yun bounced up with a flip on the ground. And meanwhile the Ink Flame Tiger was pouncing at him. With the Pure Yang martial art crazily operating, Lin threw another punch against it.
Boom!
The tiger’s picture that had been exploded to pieces in his mind now gathered together again.
This punch he threw was no less powerful than the momentum of the Ink Flame Tiger.
Roar!
The tiger was the king of all beasts. A person and a tiger both burst out the momentum of the king of beasts.
Boom!
With a booming sound, Lin Yun took three steps back. The arrogant Ink Flame Tiger also stopped its attacks.
A person and a beast now were at a stalemate.
Lin Yun now concentrated all his attention on this Ink Flame Tiger indifferently.
Roar!
With another growl, the Ink Flame Tiger led off another attack!
“Come on!”
Lin Yun, with a delicate face, also made a roar, like the tiger. One could ever hear the cracking sound of his bones.
Behind him was the shadow of a tiger, confronting the tyrant evil beast with him.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Deep in the jungle, a person and a beast were having a fierce fight.
Looking from afar, it looked like two ferocious tigers were fighting to be the king.

Lin Yun, who was immersed in the fight, had no idea that someone was watching him fight over a thousand meters away.
It was that guy of Yun Family released by Lin Yun.
“What dreadful power! It took the four of us, including the young master, ten whole days to have badly injured the Ink Flame Tiger. And now he could fight one with his bare hands and get even with it!”
He hid in the tree, with all astonishment in his eyes.
After a while, a slice of ruthlessness flashed in his eyes, “But this time you must die.”
Then he jumped off the tree and ran away.
After a few minutes, he met the young master and others.
“How is it?”
“Young master, that lad’s power is really horrible. He could fight the Ink Flame Tiger with his hands and is not underpowered. In my opinion, it’s only a time problem for him to kill that Ink Flame Tiger.”
The young master looked astonished on hearing that.
After making sure of it, he felt quite lucky to have run away that day.
If he had asked his servants to fight him together, they may all have been dead now.
Looking a little worried, the young master asked one of the servants, “Si, is your plan workable? If we fail, we’ll all be in great trouble.”
“Don’t worry, young master. There’s no risk at all. The Golden Reckless Bulls are gregarious evil beasts. There’re at least three hundred in a flock. They have extremely low IQ. As long as I irritate them, I can lead them to that kid.”
“And then…haha…even he has nine lives, he could not take the impact of those Golden Reckless Bulls. With one wave, he’d be treaded into muddy flesh. And you don’t even bother to collect his body.”
said the servant called Si, with a grin on his face.
“Good!”
With a slice of smile on his face, the young master said in a cold voice, “Let’s do it. He started it. So don’t blame my ruthlessness.”|
……
Four hours had passed. While Lin Yun was exhausted and wanted to use his sword,
the powerful Ink Flame Tiger died under his fist unexpectedly, and its hardcore head was smashed by his fist.
Fortunately he was fast enough to avoid getting splashed.
Looking at the headless Ink Flame Tiger, Lin Yun gasped, “I thought your head was made of steel.”
He was nearly worn out. If he hadn’t taken a Blood Refining Elixir to strengthen himself,
he would already been exhausted to death to fight the Ink Flame Tiger.
A tyrant evil beast was indeed something.
Lin Yun became more curious about how the four rats severely injured the Ink Flame Tiger.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The drastic beating in his chest and the power the Blood Refining Elixir brought made Lin Yun full of energy. And he was regaining his power at an incredible speed.
After a moment’s rest, Lin Yun felt that he had almost fully recovered. Then he walked forward to cut off the claws of the tiger.
There was a slice of satisfaction on his face. But pity that he still hadn’t achieved to the Competition level of his Tiger Fist.
Once achieving to the Completion level, one could make it to a new level of one kind of martial art.
Especially his Tiger Fist had been remolded by the mysterious scroll, Lin was really looking forward to see how powerful it’d be at the Completion level.
Boom!
Suddenly a blare was heard from afar. And Lin Yun couldn’t help shaking.
“What’s going on?”
Looking back, Lin Yun saw a dragon-like thick dust covered the sky over a thousand meters away.
Before he made any reaction, a block of reckless bulls wearing golden scales three times bigger than the Ink Flame Tiger came into sight.
They rushed towards him, with their heads down. And their sharp horns were giving off some cold light.
Kakaka!
Everything in their way got smashed. Even the trees that needed two people to encircle were cracked.
“Damn it!”
Lin Yun’s face turned pale. He had no idea where those Golden Reckless Bulls came from.
And when he wanted to dodge, there was already no time.
The flock of the bulls over a thousand meters away came before him in an instant.
The scene that four to five hundred Golden Reckless Bulls were running really made people desperate.
At such a critical moment, it stimulated tremendous potential of Lin Yun.
He threw a punch at the leading bull with all his strength, but was blown away by the great impact.
The great impact spread into his body through his arms.
It felt like all his internal organs were torn into pieces.
But this punch also saved his life.
Lin Yun was blown away, with his mouth bleeding.
And taking advantage of this opportunity, he ran like crazy without turning his head back.

It is less than two weeks after the event known as the Flux Causality, and two days after the Grand Council has put forth the edict demanding the immediate retrieval and deletion of all Stringhoppers. Finding such Travelers, however, is proving more difficult than expected. A young boy and his sister find themselves violently taken from their world to another, and soon thereafter are forcibly separated. Now sold into slavery, the young man must find not only a reason to survive but a purpose to carry him home. The journey has just begun, and the hardest step is always the first one. ~ This is my attempt at both the Xianxia/Wuxia and Portal/Isekai genre of fiction that I love, and the means to provide a story set in such guidelines, while distancing myself from some of the more common tropes. I do hope you enjoy the story I shall endeavor to tell. ~ Average post between 1000 - 3000 words. This is a work in progress, and will be edited and adjusted over time. If you’re interested in something a bit more GameLIT, you might want to check out my second story on Royal Road, “The Dawnfire Archives”. My newest story is a combination of both genres, but with a female main character at the helm. Feel free to check out "The Card Thief of Culnivar"!
