Translator: NovelMultiverse | Editor: NovelMultiverse

Lifting the curtain of the carriage, Master Li and Chen Luo stepped out of the carriage, and a green mountain came into view.

Xixiu Mountain is a mountain range in the east of Wan’an County and about one-tenth the size of Wan’an County.

“Chen Family Head, this person wants to ask, are you sure you want to explore this Xixiu Mountain? My owner said that even if you take out another 3,000 taels of silver and want to use your luck for the second time, you will have to wait until a month after…”

Chen Ping looked at Chen Luo, and Chen Luo stared at Xixiu Mountain in front of him, quickly arranged the known clues in his mind, and finally nodded: “Check!”

Master Li put away the smiling expression on his face, and his expression became solemn. He took out the authorization order written by Cai Tongchen from his sleeve and pasted it on the official seal. Soon afterward, the letter started to burn, but no ash was scattered. In an instant, the letter was completely burnt to nothing. A slight green light appeared on the official seal of the seventh-rank magistrate, and on the official seal’s body, a vague picture of Wan’an County’s map can be seen.

Master Li stretched out a finger and tapped twice the location of Xixiu Mountain marked on the map. In an instant, Chen Luo felt a breath descending from the sky, covering the entire Xixiu Mountain.

Almost at the same time, there were bursts of beasts and eagles roaring in Xixiu Mountain. Master Li didn’t care but explained to Chen Luo: “The movement of qi is like clear water. Under the clear water, any impurities will be seen at a glance…”

As soon as Master Li finished speaking, he saw three cold white lights shot out in the forest, and the three beams like white jade pillars showed the phantoms of deer, bird, and raccoon respectively, Master Li said: “These are three individuals who use the moonlight to purify themselves. , they are not evil demons who kill, and are under the tutelage of the 《Great Profound Law》…”

At this moment, another beam of light soared into the sky from the Xixiu Mountain. The beam of light was crimson red with a hint of black, more than double the thickness of the three white beams before.

Master Li’s face changed: “How brazen! The redness carries some black, this is not only the blood of my human race but also the power of the human race’s divine retribution… This is a wicked monster!”

Chen Luo was also staring at the beam of light at this time, only to see a distorted shadow in the beam of light, which gradually became clear, and it was a tiger with a big mouth.

“Master, that’s it!”

Master Li nodded slightly: “This beast knows that his qi has been locked in place, but since he can’t run or hide, he is coming directly to us…” After speaking, he handed the official seal to Chen Luo, “You hold the official seal then you can be protected by its qi! Just watch the battle from the sidelines, don’t enter the battle perimeter.”

Just after Master Li finished explaining, he heard a tiger roar that shook the world. He immediately saw, from the mountain road in the distance, a giant, three-meter-long, multi-colored tiger rushing out of Xixiu Mountain like lightning heading straight in Chen Luo‘s direction.

At this time, Master Li’s appearance of a kind and gentle person has disappeared, replaced by a solemn appearance that is neither angry nor arrogant. A thin layer of azure light shrouded him all over his body, making people feel awe-inspired for no apparent reason.

“Noble True Qi!” Chen Ping stood beside Chen Luo at this time and said softly. Chen Luo nodded slightly, he stared at the colorful tiger, because he found a peculiar blood-colored pattern on the tiger’s body!

Master Li smiled boldly at this time and took a step forward. The whole person greeted the ferocious tiger that was rushing forward. He only heard Master Li galloping all the way, singing all the way:

　　Majestic seas, long clouds, blood-cladded Bishan,

　　Seven Cities look at Chixia Pass in the distance.

　　Yellow sand wears golden armor in a hundred battles,

　　If grievances are not settled, then there will be no return

During Master Li’s recitation, a phantom figure, of a general charging with a sword and wearing a shattered armor, appeared around him. The phantom figure and the tiger collided head-on, and a strong shock wave spread out. Immediately, the sand and stones were blown away, the tree fell and branches were broken, and the official seal in Chen Luo’s hand trembled slightly, releasing a qi barrier, forming the appearance of a token, isolating the impact heading towards Chen Luo’s to the side

After Master Li and the tiger collided, they each retreated dozens of meters, and then rushed towards each other again.

“Sure enough, the meaning of the poem is the same, only place names and allusions have changed. “Chen Luo thought to himself when he heard the familiar verse.

While Chen Luo was still thinking, the blood pattern on the colorful tiger suddenly flashed a ray of light. Chen Luo vaguely saw that the space above the tiger was distorted, causing the leaves to fly, like a tiger claw formed by the wind, slapping towards Master Li.

“The wind follows the tiger, and the cloud follows the dragon. This tiger demon has transformed the magic of ‘wind control’ into a godly skill.” Chen Ping was surprised. He followed Chen’s father for more than ten years, and naturally, he can also make some insights.

“Uncle Ping, can Master Li win?” the present Chen Luo also became a little nervous. Before Chen Ping could answer, he only heard a word from Master Li—

“Chu!”

As soon as the word came out, the golden light above Master Li’s head was released, and a golden sword was quickly condensed, and it was chopped down towards the Fengju Tiger Claw.

And at the moment when the word “chu” came out, Chen Luoming only heard one word, but a war poem flashed automatically in his mind——

On my fierce steed, I fought astride a new jade saddle white;

Now, as the battle ends — the sands shine cold this moon-lit night,

Sounds from iron drums on battlements are still resonating,

Down the scabbard, blood on my golden sword’s penetrating.　

The golden light streaked across the night sky like a thunderbolt, only to hear a wailing sound right after, the tiger claws shattered instantly, and even the colorful tiger squeaked and rolled on the ground a few times. When it got up again, extending from the back of the neck to the abdomen was a bloody wound. The tiger looked at Master Li, and then at Chen Luo, who was not far away. With a sigh in his heart, he turned the tiger’s head and headed straight for Chen Luo. At that moment, his speed seemed to have increased again, and in the blink of an eye, he was less than 100 meters away from Chen Luo.

Master Li seemed to have been prepared for a long time, and the golden sword that was about to dissipate above his head suddenly condensed again, but it was much smaller than before. Master Li waved his long sleeves, and the golden sword turned into a golden light and shot out quickly. The tiger couldn’t dodge it, so the golden sword shot from one of its shoulder blades and the other end to its abdominal cavity, before it hit the ground and dissipated as light. The fierce tiger also lost its strength, and after a few steps forward, it fell heavily to the ground. But before it died its heavy breath were like bellows, revealing a human-like characteristic of feeling injustice.

Chen Luo slowly approached the fallen tiger demon, but he did not dare to get too close. He only stood ten meters away, holding the official seal in one hand, looked at the tiger demon, and asked, “I ask you, did you send ghosts to kill more than 20 people from my Chen residence?”

The tiger demon opened his mouth slightly and made a low voice: “You harmed my wife, what’s wrong with me seeking revenge on you? You know that when my wife was killed, she had a tiger womb in her belly! You wreck my family, I eliminate yours, it is only reasonable.”

“The villain… no, the evil tiger, sues his victim before he himself is prosecuted. It was definitely your wife who kidnapped my tenant first…”

“Chen Family Head, why bother arguing with it.” At this time, Master Li returned to his grinning appearance, came over and said, “This evil tiger is just arguing unreasonably. That tigress is nothing but a beast, but this one just happened to open its spirit essence. A monster who has gained essence is not the same species as a beast anymore. How can you be married to a mere beast? If this is the case, if the herbivorous beasts become monsters, wouldn’t they kill all the carnivorous monsters first? Wouldn’t the people who hunt, sell meat, and butchers all over the world die?”

“What’s more, this is an evil monster!” Master Li walked to the tiger monster’s side, stretched out a foot, and stepped on the tiger monster’s neck, “Say, what force sent you to our country of Daxuan? Buddhism? Ten Thousand Demon Nation? Or barbarians?”

The tiger demon slightly closed his eyes but stopped answering, clearly begging for death.

Chen Luo also took a few steps forward, glanced at the tiger demon, looked at Master Li, and asked, “Master Li, what is an evil demon?”

Master Li replied: “You just saw a trace of black in its blood light, that is the power of the human race’s divine retribution. It is entangled with the power of divine retribution, which means that this monster has harmed people who have done good to our human race. Such a monster is called an evil monster. The Da Xuan Dynasty has an order: all evil monsters must be killed!”

The tiger demon sneered: “At least four of the ten great monarchs of the Ten Thousand Demon Nation are entangled by the power of the divine retribution of the human race. Would your Daxuan dare to break the ten thousand demons and kill the great monarchs? Isn’t it still the case that you still use political marriage, sending noble women to marry the kings of the Ten Thousand Demon Nation?”

“You…” Master Li was rarely furious and said, “How dare you talk about my Da Xuan’s national policy?”

The tiger demon didn’t answer any more, just closed his eyes indifferently, but after a while, Chen Luo realized that the original majestic body of the tiger demon was slightly shriveled. Master Li realized that something was wrong, and reached out his hand to probe, only to find that the tiger demon had started the “blood exhaustion” self-destruct technique at some point, and now it has already lost its vitality.

Presumably just to hide his usage of technique, this tiger demon deliberately argued with them a while ago to divert Master Li’s attention.

At this moment, Zhong Kui’s voice suddenly sounded in Chen Luo’s mind: “My lord, the soul of this tiger monster is a little weird, maybe this spirit can investigate some information it…” Read the most updated version of this novel and other amazing translated novels from the original source at Novel Multiverse – “NovelMultiverse dot com”
