Chapter 103.1 : If Your Lifesaver Has Difficulties in the Future, How Could You Not Repay Them Properly? ( Part 1)
With a bang, the sound of shattering glass rang throughout the entire hall, and the sweet scent of red wine instantly spread through the air.
Lu Zhaozhao—who had thought she was about to be attacked by the Lion-Spreading Tiger—stared in shock as Tang Qingmo gripped the broken wine bottle in his hand and precisely drove the jagged glass shards straight into one of the beast's eyes!
"ROAR—!!"
For any living creature, the most vulnerable spot is the eyeball.
The moment the glass fragments pierced into the Lion-Spreading Tiger's eye, an intense, searing pain exploded through it. It let out a violent, furious roar, its massive big-cat body jerking and leaping wildly as it thrashed in agony.
Taking advantage of the brief opening while the feral beast went berserk, Tang Qingmo glanced at the Lu siblings and asked, bewildered:
"It already jumped at you—why didn't you react at all?"
In other words: Why are you just standing there waiting to die!?
Lu Tianren & Lu Zhaozhao: "..."
Lu Tianren said awkwardly, "Sorry, Young Master Tang…"
If feral beasts could be categorized, the Lion-Spreading Tiger belonged to the feline family—its movements were incredibly fast!
They simply hadn't been able to react in time.
"Then observe its weaknesses properly." Tang Qingmo turned his gaze back toward the Lion-Spreading Tiger.
By now, it had recovered from the pain in its eye—and, through the lingering scent of blood, it recognized that the one who injured it was the human in front of it radiating blood-and-vitality!
"GRAAAH!!" The Lion-Spreading Tiger erupted in rage, releasing an overwhelming pressure!
All the guests in the hall were crushed under it. Some couldn't withstand the force and collapsed onto the floor, yet nobody dared to move or even make a sound—terrified that the feral beast would notice them!
Only Tang Qingmo continued calmly explaining to the Lu siblings:
"Usually, with huge feral beasts like this, their offensive power is strong… but at the same time, they also expose a lot of openings. So you need to seize the timing…"
The instant the Lion-Spreading Tiger tried to pounce on him, Tang Qingmo yanked hard on the tablecloth beside him.
The bowls, plates, and wine glasses on top were dragged straight down, smashing on the floor with a chorus of shattering sounds.
Then, in one fluid motion, he flung that tablecloth up and covered the Lion-Spreading Tiger's head, making things worse for the beast—already blind in one eye—as it was now completely unable to see what was ahead!
"GRAAH!!"
At the same moment, Tang Qingmo swiftly grabbed several dining knives from the ground.
In other people's eyes, dining knives didn't have much killing power—
But to Tang Qingmo, anything could become his "weapon"!
"Grr… GRAAAGH!"
He infused the tips of the knives with his blood-and-vitality energy, then sprinted forward at full speed. The moment the Lion-Spreading Tiger tore the tablecloth off, Tang Qingmo hurled the knives with all his strength!
"ROAR!!"
The knives—empowered by blood-and-vitality—shot out with increased speed, and in an instant, they plunged into the Lion-Spreading Tiger's lower abdomen!
"..."
However, Tang Qingmo could sense immediately that the blades didn't sink deep enough. They couldn't deliver a fatal blow at all!
As expected—this body, not yet a true martial artist, was still too weak…
So he had to finish it quickly!
The Lion-Spreading Tiger violently shook its body, trying to fling the knives embedded in its abdomen away. When one or two knives tore free, blood sprayed out in bursts, some even splattering onto Tang Qingmo's formal suit.
But he didn't care in the slightest.
Gathering his blood-and-vitality again, he slammed his knee into the beast's chest, then spun and kicked it away in one fierce motion!
"WHINE—!"
Now the Lion-Spreading Tiger was bleeding from both its eye and its abdomen. Under the tearing wounds, blood flowed like a river!
In a state of massive blood loss, no matter how ferocious its power was, its strength would inevitably begin to fade—
Giving Tang Qingmo the chance to drive another heavy punch into it!
The Lion-Spreading Tiger took the brutal hit, its brain rattled from the impact, its stance wavering as it struggled to stay upright.
Then Tang Qingmo casually grabbed a brand-new bottle of red wine and smashed it down onto the beast's head with full force.
BANG—!!
The cracking sound and the sweet scent of red wine swept through the banquet hall once again. This time, the wine spilled all over Tang Qingmo's body and suit, staining him as if he'd been dyed in a sinister crimson.
Yet Tang Qingmo only curled his lips slightly into a faint smile.
At the moment the bottle struck the Lion-Spreading Tiger's head, blood-and-vitality gathered in his palm—then he unleashed a violent surge of lightning straight into the beast's skull!
A flashing yellow glow lit up the entire banquet hall!
The Lion-Spreading Tiger's body was drenched in red wine, with several knives still stuck in its lower abdomen. The mixture of water and metal caused Tang Qingmo's "Flash Thunder" to double in power!
Under the combined assault, the beast's fur, flesh, and blood were scorched black by electricity—
Its eyes rolled white as it finally collapsed to the ground…
"Haa…"
Seeing the Lion-Spreading Tiger fall, Tang Qingmo finally let out a breath.
"D-Did it… die?"
"Are we saved?"
The guests cautiously peeked out, and when they saw that terrifying feral beast truly had been defeated, excitement and joy burst out all at once!
"I didn't die! Someone saved us!"
"Young man, thank you so much!"
"Which family's young master are you!? I have to repay you!"
