Dual Cultivation: A Carefree Journey Through Another World, the Empress Falls into My Hands

However, just as the giant tiger was about to bite Chu Yunfan, Chu Yunfan suddenly twisted his body and swam forward a distance like a snake, avoiding the giant tiger's bite.

It is the snake-like step from Xingyiquan.

While dodging, Chu Yunfan turned around and spotted the giant, striped tiger.

The giant tiger, having missed its bite, pounced on Chu Yunfan's body again.

The giant tiger was incredibly fast, and in the blink of an eye, it was back in front of Chu Yunfan.

This time, Chu Yunfan did not run away again, but instead thrust his sword into the right eye of the giant tiger.

However, the giant tiger was agile and, while in mid-air, tilted its head back, thus avoiding the eyes, a vital spot.

Then, the giant tiger bit down hard with its sharp fangs, and the black iron sword was bitten in two.

"Good guy!"

Chu Yunfan sighed inwardly, then quickly retreated, simultaneously throwing the broken sword in his hand towards the eyes of the giant tiger.

The giant tiger wanted to take advantage of the situation and pursue, but the broken sword stopped it in its tracks.

At this moment, the Wind Spirit Sword had already appeared in Chu Yunfan's hand. He used the Black Panther Assault technique from Xingyi Quan, instantly rushing to the front of the giant tiger and thrusting the sword at the tiger's eye.

This time, it's the left eye.

Because Chu Yunfan arrived suddenly, and with the blessing of the Wind Spirit Sword, his sword speed was even faster, so when the giant tiger saw this sword, the tip of the sword was already in front of it, and it was impossible to dodge as before.

However, the giant tiger was also extremely fast. In the blink of an eye, one of its front paws had already extended, directly knocking the Wind Spirit Sword aside.

However, although it avoided the vital point of the eyes, the Wind Spirit Sword still grazed the head of the giant tiger.

The Wind Spirit Sword is a top-grade spirit sword, and its sharpness goes without saying.

Immediately, a bloody gash appeared on the side of the giant tiger's head.

The giant, striped tiger, writhing in pain, opened its massive jaws wide, unleashing a deafening roar that rang in Chu Yunfan's ears.

The tiger is the king of beasts, and its roar has always had a terrifying effect. Chu Yunfan was close to the giant tiger and took a solid hit from its roar.

Therefore, for a moment, Chu Yunfan was stunned.

At this moment, the giant tiger opened its blood-red maw and bit down on Chu Yunfan's head.

However, at this crucial moment...

Suddenly, another loud tiger roar rang out.

This time, however, the voice did not come from the mouth of the giant tiger, but from Chu Yunfan's mouth.

It is a move created in Xingyi Quan by imitating the roar of a tiger, called Tiger Roar in the Forest.

Although Chu Yunfan's roar was not as powerful as that of the striped giant tiger, the close proximity and the unexpected effect still startled the striped giant tiger.

It was precisely because the giant tiger was momentarily stunned that Chu Yunfan found another opportunity to counterattack. He instantly unleashed the first move of the "Raging Wind Sword Technique"—"The Wind Rises with the Sword."

This move, combined with the Wind Spirit Sword in Chu Yunfan's hand, truly achieved a speed as swift as the wind.

A flash of sword light appeared in mid-air, followed by a streak of blood shooting out from the forehead of the giant tiger.

However, at this moment, Chu Yunfan did not show any joy of success on his face; instead, his expression suddenly changed.

Chu Yunfan discovered that after his sword had pierced a short distance into the body of the giant tiger, he suddenly felt a resistance.

It turned out that Chu Yunfan's sword had struck the hardest bone on the forehead of the giant tiger.

In addition, the muscles on the forehead of the giant tiger instantly tightened, gripping the Wind Spirit Sword tightly.

Therefore, although the Wind Spirit Sword is a top-grade spiritual weapon, it cannot exert its full power without the support of spiritual energy. Moreover, relying solely on the sharpness of the Wind Spirit Sword itself, it is not enough to pierce through the bone instantly.

Just then, the giant tiger launched a counterattack, its two powerful front paws striking Chu Yunfan's head simultaneously.

If this hits, it'll instantly split the watermelon open.

However, due to the close proximity and the extremely fast movements of the giant tiger, Chu Yunfan was too late to dodge.

At the critical moment, Chu Yunfan finally took out the Snow Cold Sword and held it horizontally in front of him.

The moment the giant tiger's claws touched the Snow Frost Sword, its flesh was ripped open.

At the same time, the chilling aura of the Snow Frost Sword began to invade the body of the striped giant tiger through the wound.

The giant tiger's movements suddenly stopped.

Seeing this, Chu Yunfan seized the opportunity to forcefully plunge the Wind Spirit Sword into the body of the giant tiger.

This time, the giant tiger finally died. With the freezing effect of the Snow Frost Sword, the giant tiger was immediately frozen and could not even launch a final counterattack.

Seeing this, Chu Yunfan breathed a sigh of relief and put away the Snow Frost Sword and the corpse of the striped giant tiger.

Afterwards, Chu Yunfan put the spiky wild boar carcass into his storage bag before continuing on his way.

"With my current strength, it's still too much of a stretch to deal with such a powerful second-tier demonic beast."

If it weren't for the Wind Spirit Sword and the Snow Frost Sword, we might have been defeated by this giant, striped tiger.

We still need to be careful; we can't afford to get carried away again!

As Chu Yunfan walked, he reflected on what had just happened.

However, what puzzled Chu Yunfan was that he didn't encounter a single demonic beast for the next stretch of the journey.

"What happened? Where did all the demonic beasts go?"

Chu Yunfan looked around in confusion.

A moment later, he suddenly came to his senses.

"Could it be that they were scared away by those two tiger roars just now?"

Thinking about this, Chu Yunfan suddenly realized something.

Just as he was about to leave, he realized that he had unknowingly walked to the front of that huge lake.

Upon seeing this lake, Chu Yunfan was reminded of the giant python in the lake in the Thousand Absolute Ancient Land.

"Could there be some monsters in here too?"

Chu Yunfan's eyes shone brightly as he scanned the lake below.

However, the lake was quite deep, and with the abundance of aquatic plants, Chu Yunfan couldn't see clearly for a while.

Suddenly, a silver shadow flashed past Chu Yunfan's sight.

"what is this?"

Chu Yunfan's eyes immediately followed the direction.

However, the silver figure was too fast, and it took Chu Yunfan a while to see its face clearly.

"Are they silverfish from the pond?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Chu Yunfan muttered to himself again:

"No, the scales on the surface of this silverfish look sharper and more pointed; there are still some differences."

Moreover, the silver fish in this lake are far too fast; even with my partially mastered Xuan Eagle Eyes, I could barely detect their presence.

Then, Chu Yunfan continued to scan the lake surface and saw several more silver fish like the ones he had seen before.

Suddenly, Chu Yunfan's gaze sharpened, for he saw a gigantic corpse in the lake.

Judging from the shape of the remains, it should be a giant python.

To Chu Yunfan's surprise, judging from the length and size of the remains, this giant python was several times larger than the blue python in the valley before it died.

In other words, this giant python was likely a third-tier demon beast in its lifetime.

"Even a third-tier giant python died in this lake. What dangers are there in this lake?"

Moreover, the third-tier giant pythons are all dead, so how come these silver fish are still alive and well?
