My ancestors were spiritual plant growers, so it's not surprising that I hunt demons every day,

"problem occurs."

Upon hearing Cui Yue's hysterical cries, Wang Shi and Cui Zhengming exchanged a glance, realizing something was amiss. They immediately grabbed their tools and prepared to go outside to investigate.

"You stay here and keep an eye on the fifth brother, I'm going out to check on him."

After leaving the main room, one must pass through the courtyard to reach the side room where Cui Ying and Cui Yue live.

The appearance of Cui Zhengming will surely enrage the Gale Tiger.

Cui Ying snapped out of her daze and immediately shouted, "Father, please don't come out!"

Meanwhile, Cui Cong and his wife, along with Cui Lin, who were also awakened, were unsure whether to come out upon hearing this.

Cui Ying watched as the Gale Tiger remained perched on the wall, seemingly quite interested in the transparent barrier that blocked its way.

It stretched out its large, furry paws and gently patted, causing the entire barrier to shake continuously.

Let alone activating wind blades to fight the enemy, this barrier probably won't last more than a quarter of an hour.

"Third Sister, what happened?!"

Hearing her father's anxious question, Cui Ying realized that she could not delay any longer.

Barefoot, she rolled off the bed and instantly fired several ice spikes.

In an instant, the ice spikes pierced through the barrier and landed on the Gale Tiger. Caught off guard, the Gale Tiger's massive body was slashed with two bloody marks, and it froze for a moment under the cover of a layer of cold frost.

This completely enraged the Gale Tiger.

"Roar!"

The angry roar instantly echoed throughout every corner of the Cui family's courtyard.

The deafening roar of the tiger silenced half of Shuangling Village.

Whether they were cultivating or asleep, all the cultivators opened their eyes in unison, looking in a certain direction with expressions of fear.

"what happened."

"what sound?"

"It seems like a demonic tiger from the Phoenix Mountains has escaped."

-

Cui Yue, huddled in the corner of the bed, cried until her voice was almost hoarse.

In the innermost room, Cui Zhengming's hand, which was gripping the door bolt, suddenly froze, and Wang Shi behind him was even more horrified.

"It's a tiger demon!"

"A tiger demon has entered the village! No, a tiger demon has come to our house!"

Cui Cong and his wife, along with Cui Lin, were also terrified and turned pale. While Yang covered her face and wept, she held tightly to her husband and refused to let go.

Faced with this situation, Cui Ying frowned.

With my current strength, I would have to pay a heavy price to kill this fiend.

How can evil spirits be allowed to haunt a place where one can lie down?

He watched Cui Yue trembling beside him, and Ta Xue, who was equally terrified but still stood in front of him.

An unprecedented rage surged within Cui Ying.

You beast!

Since you've dared to come all the way to my house, then stay!

Cui Ying conjured another three-foot-long ice spike and shot it towards the Gale Tiger, which had already cracked the hurricane array.

"Ho! Roar!!"

The increasingly frenzied Gale Tiger suddenly let out a painful roar.

The successive roars of tigers once again alarmed the village.

The bolder ones quickly put on their clothes and went outside.

"Who dared to provoke a tiger in the middle of the night?"

"It really is the roar of a demonic tiger, and it sounds like that beast is injured!"

"The sound seemed to be coming from the other end of the village."

"Let's go and see what's going on."

"What are you looking at? That's a tiger demon! How many heads do you have to eat it?!"

"You're not allowed to go. If you dare to go, I'll never forgive you."

-

Despite attempts by family members to stop them, some skilled and daring individuals still carried ritual implements and rushed towards the source of the sound.

As for the Cui family, from the appearance of the Gale Tiger to Cui Ying's intervention, everything seemed to take a long time, but in reality, it only took a few breaths.

After this attack, Cui Ying clearly saw that a bloodstain appeared on the Gale Tiger's huge head, and the hot blood fell down, making it look even more ferocious and terrifying.

This action thoroughly provoked the Gale Tiger, causing it to tear a large hole in the barrier in an instant, revealing a head covered in blood, which immediately locked onto the human female cultivator who had injured it several times.

Watching the Gale Tiger, which could easily leap into the courtyard and wreak havoc, Cui Ying narrowed her eyes, her right hand already silently gripping the cold hilt of the Yao Guang Sword.

"Awoo∽"

But just as Cui Ying was about to activate the Light Sword, the Gale Tiger, which had swaggered into the courtyard, suddenly vanished without a trace, as if nothing had happened and it was just a nightmare for the Cui family.

But when Cui Ying looked at the half-collapsed courtyard wall, she knew this was no dream.

The Gale Tiger must die.

The killing intent in Cui Ying's eyes was almost tangible. She pressed two pills to restore her mana under her tongue, picked up the Yao Guang sword, and was about to break through the window to chase after him!

"Third girl, don't go."

Unable to bear it any longer, Cui Zhengming opened the door. Out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of that terrifying tiger shadow that flashed by. His legs trembled, and he almost tripped over the threshold.

"Father, please, you can't go!"

Hearing her father's slightly choked voice, Cui Ying paused slightly: "Father, Fourth Sister is still inside. I'm leaving the family to you."

The demon race may seem cruel, bloodthirsty, and mindless, but in reality, they are the most perceptive and vengeful.

It's likely that his sword strike during the day made Gale Tiger wary, which is why he launched a night raid on Shuangling Village to avenge that blow.

Having figured this out, Cui Ying naturally resolved to eliminate any future troubles.

After saying that, she activated her inner energy and leaped out of the window.

Despite Cui Ying's disheveled hair and bare feet, her aura was chilling, as if she were a god of death incarnate.

As she followed the trail deliberately left by the Gale Tiger and reached the outside of the courtyard, she ran into several bewildered rogue cultivators.

One of them was Zhao Sihai, who was standing nearby. Looking at the icy Cui Ying, he asked with some fear, "Cui family girl, what's wrong with you?!"

Before Cui Ying could explain, she could only hurriedly say, "Please, Uncle Zhao, look after the house for me. I will definitely repay you handsomely when I return."

After saying that, she disappeared into the night.

-

At this moment, Wang Shi also chased after them, carrying Cui Yue. She grabbed Cui Zhengming's hand, her eyes blurred with tears, and said:

"It must be that fox spirit they picked up during the day that caused this trouble, which is why the demon tiger has its eyes on our third daughter. Husband, hurry up and go after them!"

Cui Zhengming composed himself and was about to follow them out when he suddenly noticed that some of his children were small and weak.

If I leave now, and something happens at home, the consequences could be disastrous.

Just as Cui Zhengming was in a state of utter confusion, there was a sudden commotion outside.

"Brother Cui! Brother Cui! Are you alright?"

"Brother Zhao, Sister Zhou!?"

Cui Zhengming recognized the newcomers at a glance. The group at the head of the group consisted of Zhao Sihai and Zhou Yefang, who were on good terms with the Cui family.

"Why are you here?"

"We heard a demonic tiger roaring in the village, so we rushed out to see what was going on. Also, what happened? Why did I see Cui Ying all alone outside just now?"

Cui Zhengming nodded excitedly and waved his hand, saying, "A tiger demon just came to our house, you've come at the perfect time!"

"It really is a tiger demon!?"

Zhao Sihai was shocked. Even the few rogue cultivators who followed behind him swallowed hard and looked around warily, afraid that the demonic tiger might not have gone far and might suddenly leap out from some corner and open its bloody maw at them.

"That demonic tiger has been injured and escaped by San Yatou. Now San Yatou has gone out to chase after it alone. Please watch over the house for me. I'm going out to check."

Cui Zhengming quickly gave a few instructions, snatched the Cold Light Crossbow from Zhao Sihai's hand, and chased after him without looking back.

"Lend me the Cold Light Crossbow."
