NOVEL WEB Chapter 13
Boom!
Lightning illuminated the world in a dismal white.
The thunder rolled through the firmament, with dark clouds and pouring rain.
The speculation that appeared in Ji Ling’s mind made her hair stand on end.
Mountain Lord is the Tiger Demon.
How terrifying would a tiger demon that lived for over three hundred years be if it survived to the present?
Just imagining it sent shivers down one’s spine.
Ji Ling turned to look at the massive stone statue deity missing its head, feeling as if at any moment, it would transform into a colorful ferocious tiger, opening its large bloodied mouth.
“Generally speaking, tiger demons can only turn the living beings they eat into evil ghosts, this is a natural ability.”
“As for the method of corpse demons, it should be a side door evil art learned from somewhere.”
Lin Yuan gently closed the temple gates that were blown open by the strong wind.
“Shall we leave?” (Ji Ling)
Subconsciously, Ji Ling approached him a few steps, seemingly to bring some sense of security.
“Why should we leave?” (Lin Yuan)
“But, but this place…” (Ji Ling)
“If we wait for the Demon Suppression Bureau to take action, it will be too late. This tiger demon may have escaped by a stroke of luck, thinking that the incident back then was an accident, but it is impossible to say it escaped unscathed.” (Lin Yuan)
Lin Yuan smiled as he walked towards the stone statue deity:
“Moreover, if it really has a few hundred years of cultivation, why would it need to hide its head and tail?” (Lin Yuan)
“If I’m not mistaken, my appearance should not be within its expectations, you, brought here by the corpse demon, are its target… that evil ghost is just used to confuse you.” (Lin Yuan)
“You’re right, but…” (Ji Ling)
Bang!
The stone statue deity exploded, and two figures collided in midair.
“Mountain Lord!!!”
Excitement shone in Lin Yuan’s eyes.
To find something without any effort!
He had thought he would return empty-handed from his trip to Black Mountain this time, but unexpectedly, a sudden storm brought him a pleasant surprise!
“Roar!”
The figure that collided with Lin Yuan had a human body but a large tiger head, with ferocious teeth and a pungent smell.
It let out a deafening roar, its tiger eyes filled with anger.
“I don’t want to kill you!”
“Why!! Why do you have to force me!!”
It roared, erupting with extremely terrifying power, its right hand swelling rapidly, suddenly transforming into a tiger claw and fiercely digging towards Lin Yuan’s chest.
Clang!
It was like scratching on a steel plate.
Mountain Lord widened its tiger eyes, horrified to find that its claws could only penetrate the skin of the other party a little bit deep.
It could almost be said to have barely breached the defense, unable to cause any substantial damage at all!
How is this possible!
It was a tiger demon with years of cultivation, although it had been severely injured by the Demon Suppression Bureau back then and had never fully recovered, it still had the strength of the True Gang Realm!
Not to mention.
Its tiger claws had long been refined into its lifeblood weapon, capable of crushing anything, even armor made of refined iron.
This human with only copper skin.
Boom!
The blade fiercely smashed into Mountain Lord’s waist and abdomen, causing its body to almost cave in like a U-shape.
The terrifying force caused the air to burst out with a bang, and ripples spread out in the air like water waves.
Mountain Lord’s body uncontrollably flew sideways, crashing through a large hole in the dilapidated temple wall, rushing into the pouring rain.
Lin Yuan looked down at the bloodstain on his chest, grinned.
It seems that the saying “invulnerable to swords and spears” is just because he has not encountered an opponent powerful enough yet.
“The Tiger Demon Body Refining Technique is not yet ready, and I also need a hard technique specifically for defense…”
Avoid?
That’s non-existent!
A true man must be tough!
Not far away, Ji Ling huddled in a corner, dumbfoundedly watching the scene in front of him.
Scene.
The collision of pure power made it difficult for even the Tiger Demon, who had lived for hundreds of years, to resist. It was directly knocked away with a single blow…
Is this still a human?
Such brutal force, even the ferocious beasts with legendary divine bloodlines would probably be no match for it.
“Cough…”
The Mountain Lord coughed up a mouthful of blood, climbed up from the muddy ground, and looked at the figure walking towards him in amazement and anger.
“Huh? Did I use too much strength?”
Seeing the Tiger Demon coughing up blood, Lin Yuan furrowed his brow.
He deliberately did not use the sharp edge of the blade to avoid excessive blood loss from the Tiger Demon… It was all material for him to cultivate the Tiger Demon Body Refining Technique in the future. How could he waste it like this?
“Never mind, let’s just kill it directly.”
Lin Yuan muttered to himself.
As long as the knife was fast enough, and using the blazing high temperature unique to the Great Sun Demon Suppression Saber Technique, it would be enough to burn the wound in an instant, maximizing the retention of fresh blood.
“You…”
The Mountain Lord instantly understood Lin Yuan’s gaze, feeling a wave of humiliation.
It was too familiar.
Because it himself often showed such a look, which was only shown when food was wasted, such a pity!
While feeling shocked and angry, the Mountain Lord felt an uncontrollable fear rising in his heart.
In a daze, it seemed to go back to over two hundred years ago, when it was besieged by the Demon Suppression Bureau.
“Kill!”
Seeing the opponent getting closer and closer, the Mountain Lord roared in anger, leaped up in mid-air, transforming into a colorful fierce tiger, stirring up a violent gust and storm, disrupting the line of sight, as if trying to make a desperate attempt.
Chop!
A dazzling flash of the blade, the flames roaring, instantly evaporating the rainwater around.
Slashing down towards it.
“Now is the time!!”
A low growl sounded in the Mountain Lord’s heart, and the tiger skin draped over its body suddenly fell off and swelled up, not losing momentum, carrying a fierce wind and storm, pouncing towards Lin Yuan.
With a loud bang, four large holes appeared in the ground, marks left by its body descending quickly and plunging into the ground.
The Mountain Lord’s body swayed, disappearing in an instant, only to reappear behind a large tree not far away.
Its overall size had shrunk considerably.
It was panting heavily.
This was the secret that the Mountain Lord escaped from the siege of the Demon Suppression Bureau over two hundred years ago.
A marvelous technique similar to the shedding of a golden cicada!
This technique consumed a lot, requiring a long time to use and constant blood and food supplementation to slowly recover.
But as long as it could survive, then everything was worth it!
Taking a deep breath.
The Mountain Lord quietly turned his head and looked at the figure in the stormy rain that was a bit angry due to being deceived.
A scorching bright ray of light swept across, one tree after another being cut open and crashing down.
Suddenly.
The expression on the Mountain Lord’s face changed, and its figure, like lightning, suddenly shot out, using both claws and disappearing instantly in the original position.
Crack!
The large tree it had just avoided was sliced in half.
“Huh? Did I sense it wrong…”
Lin Yuan frowned, looking at a lingering Evil Ghost that was slowly dissipating.
While in the distance, behind another large tree, the Mountain Lord leaned against the trunk, trembling, watching the burnt black bloodstain on its body with gritted teeth.
There was no blood flowing out because the hot blade had sealed the wound.
If it hadn’t reacted quickly, released an Evil Ghost while evading, perhaps…
“Survive, I will definitely survive!”
The Mountain Lord adjusted its breathing, trying to merge itself completely with the forest, hidden in the storm.
As a Tiger Demon, it naturally had the advantage in such an environment.
“Caught it!”
Suddenly, a deep voice sounded from behind him.
