Seeing that those from Flaming Sect had fled, Jared and the others no longer had to conceal their true capabilities. “Hmph! Flaming Sect is utter garbage.
Once I’ve cured my father, I’ll make sure everyone knows that the good-for-nothing sect is a cult, Anne growled angrily. “Come, now. Don’t be angry anymore. Let’s focus on killing this tiger demon first,” Jared said coaxingly.
Having a good grasp of their situation, Flaxseed said to Jared, “You’re the only one who can kill it. If anyone else attempts to do so, I’m afraid they’ll get embroiled in a fight with it for some time. They might even end up getting hurt!”
Jared nodded and took a step forward. “Okay. I’ll do it.”
With a wave of his right hand, the Dragonslayer Sword instantly materialized in his hand as he willed it to appear. His body also started emitting dazzling rays of light.
1 may be confident about taking down the tiger demon, but I won’t be careless. After all, it’s a demon beast with the cultivation level of a Greater Martial Arts Marquis. Although it didn’t live in the wild and is less ferocious than a wild demon beast, I must still be on my guard.
He continued imbuing the Dragonslayer Sword with the Power of Dragons within him. As he pointed the sword skyward, it gleamed with a green glow. A massive sword shadow appeared behind Jared, towering over everything like a mountain..
At that moment, the sword made a loud humming noise that felt as though it were shaking the entire snow-covered mountain. Then, a sound seemed to come from somewhere inside the snowy mountain, responding to the Dragonslayer Sword int Jared’s hand.
Sheer excitement spread across Jared’s face when he sensed the response. As for the tiger demon, a hint of fear surfaced within its ferocious gaze when it felt the aura radiating from Jared.
Slowly, it began to back away, seemingly afraid to fight him. Jared sneered at the sight of the cowering tiger demon. “As expected of a beast raised by humans, it’s very intelligent.”
Nonetheless, I won’t let this tiger demon go just like that. After all, the beast core inside its body is the best cultivation resource.
However, he was preparing to strike when the tiger demon turned and bolted off, running as fast as its legs could carry it. With just a few powerful leaps, it vanished from sight in the snowy mountain.
That left Jared somewhat at a loss for what to do next. Flaxseed and the rest also looked utterly confused. “D*mn it! I can’t believe that f*cking brute just ran off suddenly and so quickly at that!” Flaxseed could not help exclaiming.
After all, demon beasts were fierce and savage by nature. Regardless of the enemy they encountered, they would only attack and rarely fled with their tails between their legs.
However, that particular demon beast knew to turn and run after sensing danger, indicating that it had tapped into a higher plane of wisdom.
“Its intelligence is due to the way it was raised. Hence, it’s natural for it to escape when it encounters a strong enemy,” Evangeline explained.
“Raised?” Flaxseed echoed, stunned. “If I could raise a ferocious beast like that someday, that’d be awesome.”
He had a look of envy on his face. Just think of how impressive it’d be if I had a Greater Martial Arts Marquis-level demon beast! It could also be my mount!
Jared put away his Dragonslayer Sword and uttered in a resigned tone, “Well, it looks like we’ll have to spare that tiger demon’s life for a little longer. Let’s go.”
With Jared leading Flaxseed and the others, they continued moving forward. Somewhere over in the ancient ruins, Alex looked surprised when he sensed a tremor in the vicinity.
“That tremor just now came from the tomb of swords. Does that mean the tomb is about to be opened soon?” he wondered out loud as he stared intently at the pile of crystals in front of him, his eyes shining with anticipation.
Suddenly, a person dressed in black hurried forward and greeted Alex respectfully before saying, “The tiger demon has returned.”
Alex nodded and murmured an acknowledgment. “It probably had a good meal again this time. Have the people who passed through the barrier retreated?”
The man in black answered with a shake of his head. “Not yet. We discovered two groups of people ascending the mountain from different directions. A lady is part of one of the groups, and she looks like Princess Anne.”
