"That's terrifying; this is already close to the Great Accomplishment of Artistic Conception!" Luo Sandao said, still feeling a lingering fear, his eyes filled with fighting spirit but more so with disappointment. In his heart, he had never thought of competing with Hu Xiao, but now he realized the gap between them. Unknowingly, they had already drifted so far apart.
"Indeed, my Artistic Conception has just reached a minor accomplishment; there's still quite a distance to the Great Accomplishment. It seems we have a long way to go!" Liu Liulin also sighed, feeling somewhat disheartened. They had always been regarded as geniuses, but now that they encountered a true genius, they realized that there are indeed differences among geniuses.
"Haha... Well, your strength is indeed impressive." Hu Xiao laughed while fighting, filled with surprise in his heart. He had exerted all his strength yet still couldn't defeat Ren Pingsheng, an obscure martial artist. This made him feel exhilarated. In Jiangzhou, he could be considered a top talent among the younger generation, with no one being his match. Now that such a formidable opponent had appeared, how could he not be excited?
"Oh, it seems your strength is just so-so; then you won't be able to keep me here. We may meet again if fate allows." Ren Pingsheng said with a smile, thinking of finding an opportunity to escape.
"Roar..." Suddenly, a tiger's roar echoed through the air, shaking everyone to their core. All the martial artists were stunned and turned to look. They saw a black tiger approaching from afar; no one noticed how it had arrived—it simply appeared out of nowhere.
"Black Fiend Tiger!" Many martial artists recognized it immediately. It was easy to identify: black fur and a white king symbol on its forehead. Ren Pingsheng swiftly turned and retreated, halting the battle between the two. He looked at the newly appeared Black Fiend Tiger in astonishment, feeling an inexplicable familiarity.
In a flash, he recalled the Black Fiend Tiger he had encountered in Canglan Valley when he was just a Qi Refining Realm youth who barely escaped with his life and was severely injured in the process. Now seeing this Black Fiend Tiger, it felt incredibly familiar.
"Could it really be that same Black Fiend Tiger from back then? But how did it end up here? And how did it become so powerful?" Ren Pingsheng pondered for a moment. The Black Fiend Tiger was over ten feet long, exuding a terrifying aura; upon closer inspection, it clearly possessed the strength of a fourth-level demon beast—equivalent to a human sect-level powerhouse.
Moreover, as an anomalous demon beast, the Black Fiend Tiger was inherently stronger than ordinary demon beasts. Thus, it could be said that no one here was its match.
"Damn it! This Black Fiend Tiger is a fourth-level demon beast; how did it end up here? This is the outskirts of Wanyao Mountain!" Luo Sandao exclaimed with an ugly expression, gripping his sword tightly and slowly backing away, clearly nervous.
"Be careful; this creature is not easy to deal with." Liu Liulin also looked tense as the group of martial artists gradually huddled together.
"It seems this competition can only end here; this beast is no joke!" Hu Xiao glanced at it and then spoke to Ren Pingsheng.
"That's for the best; I won't linger any longer." Ren Pingsheng smiled lightly and began to retreat. The girl in white immediately followed him foolishly.
"Roar..." The previously quiet Black Fiend Tiger suddenly became agitated. Its eyes fixed intently on Ren Pingsheng, and with a light leap, it closed in quickly. Its massive claws swiped through the air.
"Hmph! I want to see if you really are as powerful as they say!" Hu Xiao was also present; this attack included him as well. For someone like him—a genius among Monsters—there was no way he would not retaliate. He swung his large blade fiercely in response.
"Boom..." He managed to block the attack from the Black Fiend Tiger, but unfortunately, the violent shockwave forced him backward repeatedly, causing his right hand holding the blade to tremble uncontrollably. After that collision, he found himself at a disadvantage. The Black Fiend Tiger paused briefly before pouncing again.
However, this time the target of the attack changed to Ren Pingsheng. Two sharp foreclaws, glimmering with a cold light, reached out to grab Ren Pingsheng, with a fierce wind rushing towards him and a strong stench filling the air.
"Hmph! No matter if you are that guy from back then or not, I must take revenge for this," Ren Pingsheng snorted lightly, swinging the Sky Rift Sword up and down as it clashed repeatedly with the Black Fiend Tiger's sharp claws, sparks flying everywhere. Ren Pingsheng found himself involuntarily retreating; with each encounter, he was forced back a step.
This situation made him furrow his brows. He then felt a slight tremor in his hand, and countless sword energies poured out. At the same time, the Sky Rift Sword transformed into a beam of cold light, piercing directly at the Black Fiend Tiger's eyes.
"Ding..." As a result, this sword strike landed on the Black Fiend Tiger's eyelid, producing a sound like metal clashing. The eyelid of this beast was surprisingly tough; indeed, a Level Four Monster was not so easy to deal with.
With his sword strike returning without success, Ren Pingsheng's figure swayed as he retreated. However, the Black Fiend Tiger relentlessly pursued him. The two figures—one black and one blue—turned into phantoms, continuously colliding and dodging in mid-air.
At that moment, just as Ren Pingsheng revealed himself again, he caught sight of a black shadow rushing towards him like a long whip, causing the air to crackle. He quickly positioned the Sky Rift Sword horizontally, unleashing a golden sword energy. The two sides only paused for an instant before the golden sword energy dissipated while the black shadow continued its assault.
"Bang..." A strong wave of force transmitted through the Sky Rift Sword. Ren Pingsheng felt his right hand tremble and nearly lost grip on his sword. His body suddenly flew back over ten feet before he stabilized himself. It was then that he realized that the previous strike had come from the Black Fiend Tiger's tail.
"A Level Four Monster is not something I can contend with; it's better to retreat." He looked at the distant Black Fiend Tiger and thought to himself. Although he still had hidden strength, he was unwilling to reveal it in front of so many people. Even though he couldn't defeat it now, escaping would not be difficult.
"Hmph! You big brute, why don't you hurry up and leave?" This was the White-Clad Woman who had been standing aside; she suddenly shouted in a delicate voice. Then she waved her hand, and it seemed as if white mist rose within hundreds of feet around them, obscuring their vision completely.
"Hehe, why don't you hurry up and take me with you?" A giggle rang in Ren Pingsheng's ears; he immediately recognized it was the White-Clad Woman. Not wanting to miss such a good opportunity, he reached out and grabbed her delicate hand. In just a few flashes, they appeared outside the mist. Without looking back, they quickly flew away into the distance.
The Black Fiend Tiger reacted swiftly; just as Ren Pingsheng flew out, a shadow leaped out from the mist. It immediately spotted Ren Pingsheng flying away and let out an angry roar before chasing after him at full speed without losing any momentum.
At this moment, those remaining martial artists finally stumbled out of the mist one by one. When the mist first rose, the Black Fiend Tiger had not been idle; it dashed left and right. After all that commotion, many were injured, and some even lost their lives.
"Cough cough... Brother Tiger, are you alright? That Black Fiend Tiger is really formidable," Luo San said as he walked over slowly with some minor injuries but nothing serious.
"I'm fine. That damned beast will pay when my cultivation improves further," Hu Xiao replied with a face full of anger and dirt.
"Really lucky; it seems that Black Fiend Tiger is chasing after that man and woman. I wonder what that's about. Could it be that Life and Death Grass is really with them?"
"Life and Death Grass? I now somewhat believe it isn't in their hands. If they had Life and Death Grass, how could they escape from being hunted by that Black Fiend Tiger? They were just entangled here with us for half a day. If they had Life and Death Grass but were still being chased by the Black Fiend Tiger, they would have fled long ago."
"So you're saying that the Black Fiend Tiger is pursuing them for some other reason?" Luo San pondered for a moment before asking with some confusion.
"Who knows? As long as the Life and Death Grass is not on them, that's all that matters. Alright, let's get back to what we were doing. Don't you want to find the Life and Death Grass?" Tiger's Roar glanced at them and waved his hand. Then he turned and walked away in another direction.
"Brother Liu, what do you think?" Luo Sandao asked, seemingly still a bit uneasy.
"Heh, what does it matter? Whether they have it or not? Whether they can escape the Black Fiend Tiger's pursuit is another question. Even if they do escape, you and I wouldn't be able to catch up with them! I actually hope it's not on them," Liu Liulin said softly, shaking his head.
"That's true. Then let's search around," he nodded and called to the disciples of Luo Xia Sect, who scattered to begin searching for the whereabouts of the Life and Death Grass again.
"Oh no, that big guy is chasing us again!" The White-Clad Woman, flying quickly, muttered in dissatisfaction, glancing back from time to time. Then she waved her hand, and a mist spread out behind her. Soon after, they heard the angry roar of the Black Fiend Tiger.
"Hey, speed up in that direction; let's take this opportunity to escape," Ren Pingsheng pointed to the right and said. Then he drew his sword, turned around, and waved it; Storm Rising unleashed countless Cloud Mist that filled the air. At the edge of the mist created by the White-Clad Woman, another Cloud Mist surged forth, concealing deadly intent.
"Hehe, you're amazing!" The White-Clad Woman exclaimed with a radiant smile on her face, her eyes filled with admiration as she looked at him.
"Roar..." Sure enough, after flying several hundred feet away, they heard the roar of the Black Fiend Tiger, its angry voice mixed with some faint cries of pain. In the Cloud Mist set up by Ren Pingsheng, Storm Rising transformed countless Azure Winds into sharp blades that tore through the air like a tide rushing toward the Black Fiend Tiger.
The Black Fiend Tiger was caught off guard at first and suffered significant damage, receiving several deep cuts on its body. This was due to Ren Pingsheng's six parts Wind Realm; even this fourth-level Demon Beast couldn't take it lightly.
It opened its mouth in anger, unleashing a torrent of fierce winds. In just a few breaths, all the Cloud Mist was swept away, leaving the surroundings clear.
Unfortunately, by this time, Ren Pingsheng and the White-Clad Woman had already vanished without a trace. All that remained was the furious roar of the Black Fiend Tiger.
