Taoist Changfeng turned to Jiang Xiaobai, “Kid, if you don’t want to miss a good show, follow me up the mountain.”
Jiang Xiaobai nodded without uttering a word.
The old and young set off for the south mountain one after another. Suddenly, a roar that shook the forest rang out. Everyone felt a painful ache in their eardrums, and many even bled from their seven orifices due to the shock of the roar.
All the ordinary people backed away instantly.
The forest was startled by this roar, and startled birds flew about, their cries echoed alongside the illusive black smoke enveloping the south mountain, making everyone tense.
A creature covered in yellow fur jumped about and quickly appeared atop a tree branch in front of the crowd.
Everyone saw the form of the monster clearly at this point.
Standing there was a humanoid figure covered in yellow fur, muscular beneath the fur, with a tiger’s head on its neck.
“Roar!”
The Tiger Demon appeared and roared furiously at the people in front of him, spreading an invisible demon aura directly toward the ordinary people. “Hmph, audacious Tiger Demon, daring to act wildly in front of me?”
Taoist Changfeng snorted coldly. With a wave of his dust whisker, a spiritual power emerged, instantly blocking the incoming demon aura.
“The Immortal is mighty!”
“Such skills truly befit an Immortal. Please, Immortal, slay this Tiger Demon and bring peace back to our Spring Lake City!”
“The Immortal can easily get rid of it.”
Taoist Changfeng greatly enjoyed these praises from the ordinary people behind him, it allowed him to truly appreciate the benefits of cultivation.
“This late stage Qi refining Tiger Demon with merely mediocre power dares to wreak havoc here. Today, I must slay you.”
Taoist Changfeng casually snorted, emitting the aura of a cultivator in the early Foundation Building stage.
Although there’s a single step difference between the late Qi refining stage and the early Foundation Building stage, their power levels were as different as heaven and earth. After reaching the Foundation Building stage, a thousand Qi refiners wouldn’t be a match!
The power difference between the two was vast.
Indeed, when Taoist Changfeng released his aura, the Tiger Demon showed a hint of wariness, not acting recklessly.
However, it stood still on the branch, neither advancing nor retreating, seemingly waiting for Taoist Changfeng to make a move.
“Kid, crossing paths is a form of fate. I will severely wound this Tiger Demon later, then you can practice your hand.”
Taoist Changfeng turned to Jiang Xiaobai, “Don’t worry, with me watching your back, the Tiger Demon won’t be able to hurt you.”
Jiang Xiaobai sneered inwardly at this. Did they think he was a fool?
I used to think this old man might have some tricks up his sleeve, but it seems I was mistaken.
“Alright then, please make your move, Taoist Changfeng,” Jiang Xiaobai said with a smile, a hint of excitement in his eyes.
Seeing this, a smile crept onto Taoist Changfeng’s face.
“He is indeed still too green, unaware of the dangers of this world. Does he really think I would kindly assist him in increasing his power?”
Taoist Changfeng sneered inwardly. He seemed to have already visualized the scene where he obtained many good items from Jiang Xiaobai’s body, the very thought of this made him want to laugh.
However, after all, he had been cultivating for a hundred years. How could he achieve a Foundation Building if he didn’t have at least this much composure?
Taoist Changfeng then looked at the Tiger Demon not far away and sneered coldly.
“Tiger Demon, today, I will let you witness what a Foundation Building cultivator is capable of, and what power truly is!”
Taoist Changfeng snorted coldly, “Consider this the price for your mayhem, hand over your life!”
As soon as his words fell, Taoist Changfeng swung his dust whisk in the air. Accompanied by his movement, a whirlwind appeared in the air and swept towards the Tiger Demon.
The whirlwind’s power was astonishing. Even though the Tiger Demon anticipated such an attack and tried to shield itself with its hands, it was still wounded all over by the whirlwind, bloody and mangled.
Seeing this, the ordinary people who had never seen a cultivator in action were repeatedly exclaiming in surprise. Li Qingzhou’s eyes widened as he stared fixedly, his eyes full of admiration.
Seeing this, Taoist Changfeng’s mouth lifted slightly. He swung his dust whisk harder, intensifying the whirlwind. A small tornado then appeared in the air.
The tornado immediately enveloped the Tiger Demon. Its flesh was ripped apart, presenting a gruesome sight.
Jiang Xiaobai watched from the side, sneering in his heart. This whirlwind might look fierce, but the actual damage it inflicted on the Tiger Demon was insignificantly small. It had merely scraped off some flesh, and had not significantly impacted the Tiger Demon’s fighting strength.
“Roar!”
The Tiger Demon roared in the whirlwind, creating a ripple in the air with a wave of its arms, shattering all the whirlwinds.
Its eyes turned blood-red as it glared at Taoist Changfeng, the one who had caused it so much pain.
Taoist Changfeng snorted in his heart, not taking the Tiger Demon seriously, and turned his gaze to Jiang Xiaobai at his side.
“Boy, this Tiger Demon has already been severely injured by me, aren’t you going to take action now?”
Hearing this, before Jiang Xiaobai could respond, Li Qingzhou was already getting impatient.
“Brother Xiaobai, you’ve got this. Look, the Tiger Demon is covered in blood. It must be badly injured. You can definitely slay it, ” Li Qingzhou encouraged. Jiang Xiaobai gave a cool smile. He knew what this old Daoist had in mind. He was Just trying to sencl mm to ms cleatn.
Unfortunately for him, he made a mistake. Jiang Xiaobai was not a mere Qi refiner, he was a genuine Yuan Infant old monster, and a peak late-stage one at that.
If he didn’t give them a taste of their own medicine in response to such arrangements, he would be letting down his cultivation level.
Jiang Xiaobai slowly stepped towards the already beaten and bloodied Tiger
Demon.
“This youngster must be crazy!”
“With such little power, he dares to go forward. Hasn’t he experienced death yet?”
“What he is doing? That Tiger Demon is obviously formidable. Even if it’s heavily wounded, it’s not something he can deal with. He should come back quickly.”
The people behind were all exclaiming in shock, none wanting to witness the moment Jiang Xiaobai is smashed into pieces by the Tiger Demon.
But would Jiang Xiaobai be afraid?
“Old Daoist, you must keep an eye on things for me. If there is any danger from this Tiger Demon, you must help me block it. Once the matter is settled, I will give you some good pills,” shouted Jiang Xiaobai.
“Rest easy, kid, I’m watching,” Taoist Changfeng laughed. Meanwhile, he was thinking inwardly, “Go. Once you die, everything on you belongs to me.”
Jiang Xiaobai carefully approached the Tiger Demon and just as he was about to make a move, the Tiger Demon suddenly let out a furious roar. With a powerful leap, it disappeared from its original spot in the blink of an eye.
At this moment, Taoist Changfeng, who had been watching the drama unfold, suddenly shouted with an ‘expression of shock’ on his face.
“Kid, quickly come back! This Tiger Demon has not been seriously injured, it’s pretending!”
Upon hearing these words, everyone present was shocked. They knew that the handsome young man was destined to die.
But Jiang Xiaobai had been waiting for this moment!
