Fantasy: Immortality Begins with Absorbing Demons

Chapter Ninety-Six Tiger's Accomplices

"Cough, cough..."

"This should be considered a ferocious beast-level monster, and it seems to have been affected by yin energy..."

Bai Sanren pointed to the slowly dissipating black mist on the ground and said.

On the forest floor, stained with the black mist from the exorcism talisman and the blood from the martial artist's tongue, two strange-looking little devils were dissipating in the wind.

You can vaguely see that the two little devils are about seven or eight years old. They are all green, skin covering bones, but have huge bellies.

Although they look very similar, the biggest difference is that one only has one ear on its face, while the other only has one nose.

"This is a vengeful spirit; proceed with caution. This hungry tiger has likely taken many lives..."

When a person is afflicted by a tiger, their spirit is often subservient to the tiger, serving as its guide. Therefore, those who die from tiger attacks often have their clothes, towels, and shoes left on the ground. This is not because the tiger's power can cause them to fall, but because of the ghosts.

In his previous life, there were legends of vengeful spirits and tiger demons, but Han Yi always dismissed them as nonsense. He never imagined that here, the tigers, tainted by yin energy, would actually be so eerie…

"cough!"

Bai Sanren coughed incessantly, his body bent over, and he coughed up a mouthful of black blood.

"Grandpa Bai, you're not going to die, are you...?"

Qianxue quickly took out the pills and water and gave them to him, her eyes filled with tears and her face full of anxiety.

"Don't worry, it's just a mere intrusion of yin energy. My old bones can handle it..."

Bai Sanren comforted Qianxue, and after taking the pill, his complexion improved considerably.

However, on Bai Sanren's back, a black palm print the size of a bowl was clearly imprinted through his clothes, with five child-like fingerprints clearly visible. Moreover, as time went by, the bruise became darker and darker, almost black!

When Yin energy enters the body, it clashes with the Qi and blood of a martial artist. If a martial artist below the Meridian Opening stage is tainted by Yin energy and it is not removed in time, they may suffer a serious illness or even die.

Of course, for Han Yi, the drawbacks of yin energy entering his body were nonexistent; he wished for as much yin energy as possible...

pat, pat.

The majestic, hungry tiger slowly swayed its enormous head as it swaggered around, but the circle it was circling gradually shrank as it approached. The three of them held their breath and retreated accordingly.

scoff!

The tiger's paw pads silently extended sharp claws several centimeters long, and even the claws that had been broken by Han Yi's Xuan Tie sword were restored to their original state in an instant.

"Han boy, if we're outmatched, you take Qianxue and retreat first..."

Bai Sanren frowned, his expression grave; he was prepared to cover the rear.

"Master Bai, you just need to protect Qianxue. Don't worry, I'll take care of things..."

Han Yi shook his head, glanced at his stats, and saw that fully armed, his stats were now a whopping 81-96. Dealing with a large cat with an overall strength of 71-85 should be a piece of cake…

Unfortunately, his black gold gauntlets are still being repaired by Master Lu at the Treasure Pavilion, otherwise his overall strength would be even greater!

"good…...

"Be careful..."

Bai Sanren gazed deeply at Han Yi, as if a memory was surfacing from the depths of his mind.

Click!

Suddenly, someone stepped on a tree branch and broke it.

The hungry tiger stopped abruptly, its limbs suddenly exerting force, the black horizontal stripes on its body turning into three wisps of black mist that enveloped its legs, and it soared into the air, disappearing instantly in mid-air.

thump, thump, thump

Han Yi's heart pounded violently, and a large amount of blood and qi surged like a great river, rapidly being transported to all parts of his body.

The attack of this hungry tiger is unpredictable and the ghost it commands seems to have the ability to ignore distance and traverse space. No one knows where it will appear from, making it extremely eerie.

How to do this?

No matter what, we must save Qianxue!

Bai Sanren secretly made up his mind. This was the first time in his life he had encountered such a strange and troublesome enemy. At this moment, Han Yi gripped the Xuan Tie sword tightly with both hands. Unlike Bai Sanren and Qian Xue, he did not look around, but instead closed his eyes.

"Could this be...?"

Bai Sanren glanced at Han Yi and saw his actions. At first, he was a little puzzled, but then, as if he had thought of something, he showed a surprised expression.

Swish!

The next instant, the hungry tiger seemed to descend from the sky, its heavy paw slamming down on Bai Sanren's head. Even a tiger without intelligence knows that you should pick on the weak!

With intention on one side and unpreparedness on the other, Bai Sanren was currently suffering from the pain of Yin energy entering his body, making it truly difficult for him to avoid it.

"Grandpa Bai..."

"The Moon-Concealing Sword Technique..."

Qian Xue shouted, mustering her courage, and with a clang, drew her sword. A streak of light flashed like lightning; she no longer wanted to back down in front of Han Yi…

However, although her swordplay was fierce, her small and delicate lady's short sword was as difficult to stop as an ant trying to shake a tree compared to ten sharp claws that were even sharper than steel knives.

Even though they haven't come into contact yet, based on Bai Sanren's many years of experience, he knows that Qianxue would definitely not be able to block this grab!

"Quickly open!"

Bai Sanren's eyes widened in fury as he shouted loudly, stretching out his hands to pull Qianxue away.

"It's too late, could it be...?"

scoff!

The sound of flesh being ripped open and gutted echoed.

Chirp, chirp.

Then, the urgent ghostly voices of the courier ghosts rang out.

A large splatter of blood from the hungry tiger's body splashed onto the ground, and much of the blood even stained Han Yi's white robe along with the black iron sword!

Han Yi, though his eyes were closed, seemed to have a premonition. The black iron sword he wielded, though not fast, struck first, landing squarely where the hungry tiger would fall before the tiger's claws could strike Qian Xue.

The tiger's soft, white-furred belly met the incredibly sharp sword tip, which was no different from an egg hitting a rock. It was disemboweled in an instant!

This is precisely the "mind's eye" characteristic of mastering basic knife skills!

With a handy weapon in hand, Han Yi felt an immense surge of confidence!

However, the enslaved ghosts of the hungry tiger were indeed incredibly useful. They could easily close the distance between two locations and move freely, rescuing the hungry tiger before the black iron sword pierced its body.

Roar!

The hungry tiger landed not far in front of Han Yi, its body writhing in pain as it growled repeatedly, its blood instantly staining the forest floor red.

A perfect opportunity! Catch them off guard and attack from behind! Han Yi opened his eyes, a cold glint flashing in them.

"drink!"

He unleashed his power, suddenly moving his body to rush towards the wounded tiger, raising his black iron sword high, as if to cut off the hungry tiger's head!
