Heavenly Jade Tiger Part 2

The Jade Tigers started to attack Mor's copies. His copies tank the first hit. Attacking the tigers back with their own weapons. The tiger's years of experience kick in as they dodge the attacks. Zhihui points her wand at the ground as she encases the tiger's feet in stone.

Mors summons more of his copies to finish off the immobile tigers. But before blades cut the head off, spear piece hears, and axes smash heads in. The stone beneath the tigers moved and cover the tiger's bodies. The stone block Mor's copies attacks from reaching the tiger's flesh.

Zhihui eyes land on the large tiger slowly emerging from the cave. An aura of majesty and holiness emanates from the tiger. Behind the tiger is a large circle full of strange holy symbols. The tiger has a majestic green and white pelt. Its eyes are full of a holy-like vigor.

Its mouth moved as holy words from the heavens came out of it.

"Mortals, what is your reason for attacking my people?"

Zhihui eyes narrow somewhat. Even if a monster could talk it did not mean that its morals will align with that of Humans or Goblins.

"We came to check a tunnel being built by Goblins. We killed two of your kind in fear of us dying"

"Ah, the excuse of death that justify the killing of others. I have heard it many times in my long lifespan"

"But yes. Goblins. It is very true that they are building a tunnel. But they don't bother me. In fact, like proper mortals they have paid tribute to me"

"Great"

"So, I am afraid I can't let you pass. For I can't let my future servants die on my watch. So ready yourself, mortals. For I, Celestial messenger should send you to the underworld!"

"Mors!"

"On it!"

Mors replies back as he rushes at the Heavenly Green Tiger. Jade Tigers only follow stronger tigers. Meaning that the Heavenly Tiger in front of them is at least general stage or at least almost. Mors arrives at the legs of the tiger as he attacks it with his sword.

The tiger dodges out of the way of Mor's attack. Its eyes were narrow as it focuses on Mor's sword.

"What a beautiful deadly weapon. Your skills aren't half bad either. But I should show you why the heavens separated cultivators by stages!"

The Tiger roared as it charges at Mors. Zhihui in the meantime was busy destroying the stone that cover the Jade Tigers. Thankfully Mors summon 20 or so of his copies and started to attack the tigers. Zhihui moves her wand as she breaks the stone covering the tiger's body.

"No no"

Of the 8 Jade Tigers left, only 6 of them got covered in stone once again. The other two meet their demise with Mor's copies.

"[Break]"

Zhihui words echo on the battlefield as the Jade Tigers lose their stone armor once again.

"Oh my-"

The Heavenly Tiger could not finish as he dodge a fast attack made by Mors. Its right front leg getting a small cut in the process. Such a wound would not cause the tiger to bleed, but for some reason, the wound started to bleed at unnatural levels.

"Truly a dangerous sword"

The tiger said as it started to gather stone in its front claws. The tiger rush at Mors as it swings its claws at him.

"[Break]"

Once again the stone broke into tiny pieces the moment the word came out of Zhihui's mouth. Mors stacks copies on himself as he swings at the tiger's claws. Sword and claw meet in a test of strength. Spark flew as Mors started to be pushed back.

With a quick movement, he stops blocking and slashes at the paws. The next second the sword goes back to his storage as he hits the ground with a barrel roll. The tiger's claws hit the floor with strength. The groundbreaking is like a rice cracker.

Mors takes out his spear and gathers his Qi at the tip of the spear. A transparent white blade grew from the tip of the spear. Mors swings the spear. Doing a big cut across the side of the Heavenly Tiger. But before the tiger could even react. A large blue fireball flew above Mor's head and hit the tiger's wounded side.

Its white fur caught on fire and its insides started to burn as the fire enter its system. The tiger scans the battlefield for a second. Seeing that its mates were dead, its eyes narrowed even more.

"What a dangerous bunch. For your crimes against the heavens, you should die today!"

The tiger said as started to gather the stones around it.

"[Bre-"

But before Zhihui could speak, the ground beneath her feet crumble and her concentration was broken. The Qi became waster as the tiger fully armor itself in white glowing stone.

"Heavenly Armor!"

Mors said as he change from his spear to his axe. Mors aims a quick axe attack at the tiger. But before the axe could meet its intended target a large stone wall block it. Axe meet the stone and the stone broke. The tiger moves with frightening speed away from Mors and towards the down Zhihui.

"Shit!"

Mors said as he made all of his copies appear in front of the tiger and attack it. The tiger stop as it gave out a large Qi-filled roar. The roar spread through the copies, damaging them somewhat. But that did not stop the copies as they deliver a fury of attack at the stone cover tiger.

The stone defended against most of the attacks. But under the pressure of 200 or so attacks, it started to break and reveal the fur and flesh beneath it. Zhihui stood up and took a couple of steps back, allowing Mors to reach the back side of the tiger and do a big slash with his blood-red sword.

Blood rain from the wound and rivers of blood escape the tiger's body. Zhihui aim her wand at the tiger as she calls forward lightning from the heavens. The bolts of lightning hit the tiger over and over again.

"Wait.. I did not hit him that many times"

"Second phase Zhihui! Get ready for its true form!"

"Excuse me?!"

"What you thought it will be that easy!?"

"Yes!"
