I'm a body cultivator, so it's normal for me to destroy a star with one punch, right?

Chapter 176 A Half-Saint Makes a Move, the Crane in the Painting!

"what?"

The little tiger glared and said, "I told you, I won't fight for you!"

"what?"

Sitting on the long river, Liu Feng turned his head and asked in surprise, "Jiang He, where did you pick up a cat?"

"You're the cat! Your whole family are cats, you idiot!"

The little tiger felt insulted and shouted curses, spitting at Liu Feng!
Chen Jingzhou, Shui Qianyun, Zhuo Bufan, and the military expert also looked over, their eyes all showing surprise.

Speaking human language?

At least at the King level!

They had seen the "little white tiger" in Jiang He's arms long ago, but had not sensed its power... This meant that it had concealed its aura very well, and its strength might be even greater!

One...

A tiger demon comparable to the Martial Arts Celestial Realm?

Jiang He smiled faintly and said, "Little Bai, those experts behind us are coming with great force, wanting to kill me... You don't want to just watch your mother's master's successor die like this, do you?"

Little Tiger: "..."

Its large eyes gleamed, and its tiger face was filled with a human-like struggle as it gritted its teeth and said, "So what if I die... I won't help you, you big liar!"

Jiang He stroked the little tiger with his hand: "When did I lie to you?"

"Humph!"

The little tiger stretched its neck in enjoyment and cursed, "You're just lying to me... Otherwise, how could I have lost to you? You couldn't have passed the test at all, and you couldn't have received the inheritance!"

Jiang He blushed.

He admitted that there was indeed an element of deceiving the tiger cub in this matter.

But how could he say such a thing? So he said seriously, "Your mother's master left behind a legacy to find a successor, not to find a dead person... I am just a body-refining martial artist who has just entered the Grandmaster realm. It is not unreasonable for you to suppress your cultivation and fight me at the same level."

The little tiger argued vehemently: "My mother's master did not allow me to fight you at the same level!"

Jiang He: "But that must be what she meant... otherwise, what's the point of the test? You're a Celestial Realm Demon King, who could possibly pass your test?"

"........."

The little tiger thought it made a lot of sense.

Within the secret cave, Jiang He used this reason to convince himself, but...

It was still somewhat resentful, and angrily said, "Then you can't use explosive secret techniques... My stomach still hurts from the blows!"

Jiang He said solemnly, "Lord Tiger King is a demon king of the Celestial Phenomenon Realm. Even if we were to fight at the same level, I would be no match for Lord Tiger King if I did not use an explosive secret technique. If I did not use an explosive secret technique, I would not be able to pass Lord Tiger King's test, become the successor of Lord Tiger King's mother master, and lead Lord Tiger King out of the White Horse Profound Light Heaven."

White Tiger: "..."

Ok!

It stretched gracefully.

She jumped down from the river's embrace, and then...

"Roar!"

With a sudden roar, as loud as thunder, a torrent of demonic energy spread from the river, causing it to tremble. Its body rapidly expanded, soaring into the sky and growing to a size of a hundred feet. A gust of demonic wind was exhaled from its mouth and swept backward.

rear.

The more than twenty disciples from various major forces who were pursuing them were shocked and used their supernatural abilities to block the evil wind.

Someone's expression changed drastically, and they exclaimed, "A demon king of the Celestial Phenomenon Realm..."

They recognized the white tiger cub's true form, their eyes widening in astonishment. "It's the white tiger cub that the disciple of Tianmen Pass held... That white tiger cub is actually a powerful demon at the Celestial Phenomenon Realm?"

"So what if you're a Celestial Realm Great Demon!"

A true disciple of the Heavenly Saint Sect gritted his teeth and said, "More than a hundred of our seven sects' inner disciples died at the hands of his Heavenly Gate disciples. They must give us an explanation for this!"

More than twenty Celestial Realm experts joined forces and continued their pursuit.

The tiger demon, now lying on the river, roared, "How dare you... You don't know what's good for you! I've already shown my power, yet you still dare to chase after me? Do you really think I'm a pushover?"

It jumped up, about to strike.

At this moment, Chen Jingzhou's expression changed drastically, and he said, "Don't make a move... Quick, hurry back to Tianmen Pass! Minister Qin just sent a message that a half-saint from the Tiansheng Sect is guarding outside Tianmen Pass!"

Rumble!
He just finished speaking.

A muffled sound echoed through the heavens and earth. From the direction of Tianmen Pass, a terrifying aura rose up, and the overwhelming holy might pressed down like a mountain. When everyone looked up, they saw a dark cloud floating outside Tianmen Pass.

Above the dark clouds, the banner of "Heavenly Saint" fluttered, and a towering figure was hidden within the clouds. His holy thoughts spanned more than 2000 miles and resounded in the minds of all the true disciples of the Heavenly Saint Sect.

"What happened?"

"Where are the disciples of my Heavenly Saint Sect who entered that valley?"

Several disciples of the Heavenly Saint Sect stopped and knelt on one knee in the void, shouting, "Sect Master, you must avenge our disciples... All the disciples of the Holy Sect who entered the valley have perished!"

"All the disciples of Crimson Blood Tower, Forget-Worry Valley, and other forces are also dead!"

"The murderer... is a disciple of Tianmen Pass!"

Dozens of inner disciples died.

Even for a power like the Heavenly Saint Sect, this is a considerable loss. However, it is unlikely that such a thing could anger a half-saint of the Heavenly Saint Sect and cause him to take action.

however……

The Heavenly Saint has been waiting for this opportunity!
He is a saint.

It is beneath our dignity to lay a hand on these vulnerable people.

Therefore, when the disciples of Tianmen Pass were training in Kunlun Ruins, the Heavenly Saint Saint would not lower himself to deal with them... But now, there was a reason!

"Be bold!"

The Heavenly Saint roared, "You dare to slaughter my Heavenly Saint Sect disciples... You're courting death!"

He was two thousand miles away.

With a palm strike from a distance, he slapped towards the long river where Jiang He and the others were.

But then, a gigantic hand, capable of blotting out the sky, instantly formed in the heavens and earth, descending with overwhelming holy might!

"You old dog Tian Sheng, how dare you?"

Boom!

Inside Tianmen Pass.

Qin Jiuzhou was on guard the moment he received Chen Jingzhou's report. He roared and instantly summoned the holy might of Tianmen Pass, the holy city. With a slash, a terrifying blade of light shot into the sky and tore apart the giant hand!

"Qin Jiuzhou, are you trying to stop me?"

The Heavenly Saint sneered. The dark cloud hanging outside the Heavenly Gate Pass flickered and quickly flew towards the direction where Jiang He and the others were. He laughed loudly, "If you have the ability, then come out of the Heavenly Gate Pass and stop me!"

"Damn it!"

Inside Tianmen Pass, Qin Jiuzhou soared into the sky, his eyes filled with murderous intent. His knuckles, gripping the knife, had turned white from the force of his grip. He stared intently at the dark cloud and hysterically shouted, "You old dog, Tiansheng, if you dare to touch my Great Xia disciples today, if I become a saint one day, I will be the first to wipe out your Tiansheng Sect!"

despair!

anger!
Powerless!

Tianmen Pass is a sacred city. Within Tianmen Pass, Qin Jiuzhou can unleash the power of the sacred city, making him nearly invincible!

But we were able to leave Tianmen Pass.

He was just an ordinary fish-dragon realm cultivator.

amazing……

Its combat power is unmatched among those of the same level.

The Heavenly Saint was completely unfazed by Qin Jiuzhou's threat and sneered, "You can say that again when you dare to leave the Heavenly Gate Pass!"

He continued flying towards the long river.

They even deliberately slowed down.

He could kill everyone on the river with a single palm strike from a distance, but he didn't do that.

He deliberately wanted to provoke Qin Jiuzhou and make him lose his mind... Once Qin Jiuzhou broke through Tianmen Pass, he would immediately launch a thunderous attack and kill Qin Jiuzhou. At that time, Tianmen Pass would be leaderless, and taking over Tianmen Pass would be just around the corner!

Once Tianmen Pass is captured and this holy city is under control, the Heavenly Saint is confident that he can become invincible at the semi-saint level!
Even if a true saint were to come, they would have the power to fight!
of course!

His primary concern was still "Great Xia".

Over the years, the "Heavenly Saint Sect" has gathered a great deal of information about Great Xia, which makes the Heavenly Saint Sage yearn for Great Xia. Once he controls the Heavenly Gate Pass, he can personally enter Great Xia and unravel the secrets hidden within it...

Perhaps there lies his chance to "become a saint"!
even……

It can reach even higher levels!
The sky is above Tianmen Pass.

A figure slowly rose up and stood beside Qin Jiuzhou.

Qin Jiuzhou gradually suppressed his anger, looked at the figure, and said, "Brother Zibin... why did you come out?"

The middle-aged man smiled and said, "Now that you have control of Tianmen Pass, there is no need for me to continue hiding... Moreover, the reason I have not refined that Saint Source for so many years is perhaps because the pressure is not enough."

He flew out of the city, his aura rising.

Immediately afterwards, his aura grew stronger and stronger, and a faint holy might erupted from his body.

A battle sword appeared in his hand, and he shouted, "Heavenly Saint...do you dare to fight me, Wang Wu?"

Wang Wu!

Zi Zibin!
This person is the powerful figure that Wang Mazi once mentioned!
The dark cloud that was flying towards the long river paused for a moment.

Above the dark clouds, the towering figure of the Heavenly Saint and Half-Saint turned around, a look of astonishment flashing in his eyes, and exclaimed in surprise, "Half-Saint?"

"No, no... Your cultivation is only at the peak of the Fish-Dragon Realm. The holy might on your body should be formed by refining the Holy Source... I didn't expect that there would be such an expert hidden in this Heavenly Gate Pass?"

Dark clouds lingered in the sky.

The Heavenly Saint laughed and said, "You haven't even fully refined the Saint Source and reached the Half-Saint realm yet, and you dare to challenge me?"

"That's fine!"

"Today, I, the Holy One, will slay you and seize your unrefined Holy Source..."

He was about to make his move.

Rumble!
Suddenly, a powerful divine aura rose again on the distant horizon.

But then a demonic cloud appeared, sweeping in and obscuring the sky.

Above the demonic clouds, a burly figure appeared, roaring, "Damn Tianmen Pass! How dare you slaughter my Crimson Blood Pavilion disciples and kill my Crimson Blood Pavilion's true disciples... Today, I, the Saint, will kill you to avenge my Crimson Blood Pavilion disciples!"

call out!
A spear, imbued with demonic energy, shot forth from afar!
"Well done!"

Wang Wu laughed heartily, instantly activating his secret technique, his aura surging, and he slashed at the spear with his sword!

Boom!

The spear exploded.

The blade shattered everything in its path.

The powerful energy aftershocks swept outwards in all directions, instantly turning the surrounding mountains into nothingness. After all, he was a Fish-Dragon Realm cultivator... even though he was only half a step away from the Half-Saint Realm!
But this half-step...

But it felt like divine retribution!
Wang Wu's body flew backward and crashed heavily onto the ground.

The earth cracked open, creating a deep crater about ten miles in circumference.

"The Crimson Blood Lord!"

The Heavenly Saint and Half-Saint gritted their teeth... Damn it, this Crimson Blood Lord is truly a beast. Why did he have to show up now of all times? It's obvious he's here to steal the Saint Source!

He mobilized the sacred energy within his body.

They also launched an attack!

Inside Tianmen Pass, Qin Jiuzhou's eyes were bloodshot. He drew upon the power of the Holy City and pushed his own aura to its limit, slashing at the Heavenly Saint and Half-Saint from afar!

Unfortunately, the battlefield was already a thousand miles away from Tianmen Pass. The power of this strike was greatly weakened after it had traveled three hundred miles, posing no threat whatsoever to a Heavenly Saint or Half-Saint!
Boom!

Beneath the earth.

Wang Wu shattered the rubble and flew out.

He was covered in blood, but his aura became even more powerful!
His original intention was to use the power of the Holy Source to hold off the Heavenly Saint and Half-Saint for a while, guide Chen Jingzhou and the others back to Tianmen Pass, and take advantage of the pressure from the Heavenly Saint and Half-Saint to see if he could accelerate the refining of the Holy Source!
But unexpectedly...

The Crimson Blood Lord has also appeared!

In that instant, the situation reversed, and they were now in a hopeless predicament!

However, Wang Wu was not intimidated.

His sword intent grew stronger and stronger, and his true essence burned. He flew towards the Heavenly Saint Half-Saint, laughing maniacally, "Crimson Blood Pavilion Master, you want to take my Saint Source?"

"wishful thinking!"

"If you know what's good for you, then just watch the show from the sidelines."

"If I self-destruct my Saint Source and kill a Heavenly Saint or Half-Saint, then his Saint Source will be yours... Even if I don't kill him, he will probably be seriously injured. When you kill him, you will naturally get a Saint Source as well!"

Heavenly Saint/Half-Saint: "???"

This moment.

His scalp tingled, and his whole back felt cold!

Self-destruction of the Holy Source?

Even an ordinary semi-saint would have to endure countless hardships to reach this level of cultivation, and they wouldn't do this lightly if there were even a glimmer of hope!

But those lunatics at Tianmen Pass...

Who knows!
For a moment, he softened his attacks considerably, afraid of really pushing this madman to the brink of despair. He roared, "Crimson Blood Lord, you, a dignified half-saint, are you so cowardly?"

"A mere Fish-Dragon Realm cultivator could threaten you?"

"Come quickly, let's work together to suppress it, and then we'll split this Sacred Source equally!"

The Crimson Blood Lord retreated a hundred miles and laughed, "Brother Tian Sheng is joking... I am not interested in this Saint Source. I will stay here to cover you, and you can take the Saint Source yourself!"

joke!

Suppressing and killing a peak Fish-Dragon Realm cultivator is not difficult for them, who are half-saints.

Can……

How to stop him from self-destructing the Holy Source?
Even if there's only a one percent chance of winning, Crimson Blood Lord wouldn't dare gamble on it!

Damn!

The Crimson Blood Lord cursed inwardly!

He is a demigod!
But at this moment, he dared not go all out, so he could only turn around and fly towards the long river, sneering, "You dare to threaten this saint with the self-destruction of your holy source... Good, very good!"

"Today, I, the Holy One, will first slay these few Celestial Realm experts from your Heavenly Gate Pass to avenge the unjustly killed disciples of my Heavenly Saint Sect!"

"........."

Hey!
Above the long river.

Everyone's expressions changed drastically.

Jiang He cursed under his breath and gritted his teeth, saying, "Damn it... I was saying we were saved, but it seems I'm the one who has to step in!"

He flipped his hand.

A painting appeared in his palm.

The scroll unfolds.

That painting was the portrait hanging in the small wooden house in the secluded paradise of [White Horse Mysterious Light Heaven].

Besides the master of [White Horse Mysterious Light Heaven], the portrait also depicts a fierce tiger and a crane, who are the tiger cub's parents, who together traced the master of [White Horse Mysterious Light Heaven] and left this world.

Jiang He said, "Xiao Bai, who do you want to see...you choose!"

The little white tiger looked at the painting and said, "I want to see my mother."

"it is good!"

Jiang He's hand trembled!
"Wow!"

A sharp cry of a crane soared into the sky, followed by a surge of holy power rising from the painting. The crane in the painting spread its wings and flew out!
