Under One Person: My comprehension is unmatched.

As soon as the two left the dilapidated temple, they saw Zhang Zhiwei facing the tiger without any fear. He took the initiative to meet the tiger's attack head-on and exchanged blows with the tiger's large paw, without even activating the Golden Light Mantra.

The tiger rolled several times on the ground, then stood up and retreated, roaring angrily at Zhang Zhiwei.

Zhang Yan realized that the vicious tiger was trapped by Zhang Zhiwei alone, unable to get close to the dilapidated temple or escape.

Even though Zhang Zhiwei was facing a fierce tiger alone, he still had the mind to chat. He spoke up.

“Master, this tiger demon’s attack patterns are just the same few moves over and over again, it’s really boring.”

Zhang Jingqing's eyelids twitched. She wanted to teach her apprentice, but with outsiders present, she couldn't say much.

Zhang Yan laughed heartily at this moment.

“Brother Zhiwei, let me lend a hand. You beast, I still remember the grudge from that claw attack.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Yan emitted white qi that enveloped him completely before rushing forward.

"The Taoist escape technique is quite interesting."

Upon seeing the Qi emanating from Zhang Yan, Zhang Zhiwei immediately realized it was a Taoist technique and became curious.

He stopped fighting and made way for Zhang Yan, wanting to see what this newly emerged superhuman could do.

Upon seeing that the tiger demon had changed its rider, it immediately perked up and pounced on Zhang Yan, trying to use this man's blood to vent its anger.

"Peng!"

"Aoou!"

With a scream, the tiger demon rolled away like a gourd.

Then it stood upright on three legs, with its other paw drooping limply. Its eyes were filled with shock and confusion, and even a hint of grievance.

Zhang Zhiwei, who was standing to the side, was also slightly surprised. This escape technique and the golden light spell had a significant connection.

In such a short time, Zhang Yan was able to use the escape light to a level that combines offense and defense, which shows his exceptional comprehension.

Zhang Jingqing saw it even more clearly. That palm strike was not simply a use of escape light. It also incorporated the techniques of the splitting palm, and the power of the blood and qi in the whole body worked together to complement each other.

Zhang Jingqing was once again deeply shaken. She never expected that Zhang Yan would have such comprehension in the art of magic.

But when he saw his apprentice standing casually to the side, he immediately flew into a rage.

"You unfilial disciple, come here!"

Upon seeing his master's expression, Zhang Zhiwei immediately slid down to his knees and knelt before the old Celestial Master.

“Master, you just told me to capture that tiger demon and not destroy the temple. This is the first time I’ve seen an animal possess Qi, so I’m a little curious. Besides, I didn’t let it escape.”

"Bah!"

A sharp rap on the head.

Zhang Zhiwei winced in pain and kept rubbing his head.

"Didn't I tell you on the mountain that even a lion uses its full strength to hunt a rabbit? Why didn't you use the Golden Light Spell when you first encountered the tiger demon? Do you know how many extraordinary experts have been caught off guard and lost their lives when they travel?"

"Do you think this tiger demon is insignificant and unworthy of your golden light protection?"

Zhang Zhiwei shrank back, his thoughts exposed by his master, and spoke up.

"Disciple realizes his mistake."

"Get up."

Zhang Yan, who was fighting the tiger demon nearby, saw out of the corner of his eye that the old celestial master had finished teaching his disciple, and he was secretly pleased.

He wasted no more time and swung his hands out several times.

"Bang bang bang!"

Zhang Yan broke both of the tiger demon's paws. Then he put two fingers together, and a white silk thread emerged, binding the tiger demon's limbs tightly.

Zhang Zhiwei and the old Celestial Master both narrowed their eyes at the same time.

They never expected that Zhang Yan's understanding and control of the escape light would reach such a level in such a short period of fighting.

"Zhiwei, there are always people more capable than you, you see?"

"I saw it, I saw it."

Zhang Zhiwei responded to his master's question, but the corners of his mouth turned up slightly.

Seeing this familiar scene, the old master couldn't help but sigh, realizing that his disciple was just paying lip service.

"Old Celestial Master, Brother Zhiwei, shall we question this beast?"

As the two nodded and moved forward, Zhang Yan also dragged the tiger demon into the dilapidated temple.

"Since you have obtained Qi, why not cultivate on the mountain instead of going down to harm people?"

Zhang Jingqing was the first to ask the question.

Uncle Liu, who had been struggling to sit up, suddenly sat up with empty eyes and spoke.

“My child never came down the mountain, yet he died at their hands. They all deserve to die.”

After asking this question, Zhang Jingqing fell silent, clearly wanting the two of them to handle the matter as a form of training.

Golden light condensed in his hand, and he flicked it at the distorted Buddha statue, shattering the clay sculpture into pieces.

Zhang Yan and the other man turned to look, their teeth grinding together, and Zhang Zhiwei's fingertips even crackled with electricity.

Inside the clay sculpture, human bones were piled up haphazardly. Some were quite old, while others were very fresh. Among the broken bone fragments, one could still see the marrow that had not been completely sucked out.

Zhang Jingqing sighed, turned around and walked out of the temple gate.

Zhang Zhiwei's hand crackled with lightning, and he was about to make a move when Zhang Yan stopped him.

"Brother Zhiwei, let me do it."

As soon as Zhang Jingqing asked the question, Zhang Yan used the Qi that bound the tiger demon to split into smaller branches at the end, which then pierced into its meridians and organs.

At this moment, Zhang Yan could tell whether it was lying by observing its heartbeat and breathing.

……

A dozen minutes later, Zhang Yan, showing no pity for the tiger demon's roars and groans, addressed Zhang Zhiwei.

"Brother Zhiwei, let's get started."

Zhang Zhiwei nodded, channeled his Qi to summon lightning, and the withered bones on the Buddhist altar were instantly enveloped in lightning.

In an instant, all the withered bones turned into ashes, and the lingering spirits attached to them all disappeared.

Beneath the ashes lay a tattered tiger skin, from which a wisp of black mist emerged, transforming into the shape of a fierce tiger.

However, this fierce tiger was composed of countless heads of ghosts.

Upon seeing this, the tiger demon became agitated and even the cougars were no longer under control, struggling violently.

click!

Another bolt of lightning struck, and the unformed tiger demon vanished instantly.

A tattered piece of paper fluttered down and was caught in Zhang Yan's hand. He gritted his teeth and said...

"The methods of Japanese Onmyoji are like using human lives to raise shikigami."

He moved his Qi, tightening the Qi lines that had penetrated the tiger demon's meridians and organs.

Blackish-red blood flowed from the tiger demon's seven orifices, and it died instantly.

The matter was now largely clear. Zhang Zhiwei approached his master, Zhang Jingqing, bowed respectfully, and began to speak.

"Master, we've roughly figured out what happened."

Zhang Jingqing nodded, waiting for her beloved disciple to continue. Zhang Zhiwei then recounted the events he had confirmed in detail.

Three months ago, two people passed through Liujia Village, took a child from Uncle Liu's house, and lured a newly grown tiger to the vicinity of Liujia Village.

Uncle Liu went up the mountain to look for his child, encountered a tiger but survived by chance. After returning to the village, he hired a swordsman to go up the mountain to kill the tiger.

A tiger demon who had obtained Qi in the mountains descended the mountain to avenge his son, and upon returning to the mountain, he encountered the two people.

One of the two was an Onmyoji from Japan. He used the promise of resurrecting the tiger demon's son as bait to lure the demon into constantly harming living people in order to create shikigami.

As Zhang Zhiwei finished speaking, he crumpled the paper in his hand and gritted his teeth.

"Master, this is a man-made disaster."

The old master Zhang Jingqing did not respond to Zhang Zhiwei's words, but instead asked a question.

"Zhiwei, what do you think of Zhang Yan?"

Zhang Zhiwei paused for a moment, then a smile appeared on his face.

"He is experienced in his actions, meticulous in his thinking, and has good comprehension, but his methods are somewhat ruthless."

snort!

Zhang Jingqing snorted coldly and spoke.

"When that tiger demon was sucking the marrow from its bones, did it hesitate even for a moment? It deserved its fate."

"If you had half of Zhang Yan's mindset, I wouldn't have to worry so much."

The master and apprentice traveled for more than half a month. Zhang Jingqing had spent a lot of time and effort trying to persuade them, but the results were not significant.

Today I finally found someone my own age, someone who can keep my beloved student's temper in check.

"That's what the master taught me."

Zhang Zhiwei bowed respectfully.

"Go call Zhang Yan. Let's go down the mountain. Maybe those two behind him are waiting for us."

When Zhang Zhiwei entered the dilapidated temple again, he saw Zhang Yan staring at the tiger demon's corpse with shining eyes.

"Brother Zhiwei, do you know how to skin a tiger?"

Zhang Yan's eyes were gleaming green as he looked at Zhang Zhiwei, even more frightening than when the tiger demon was alive.

Zhang Zhiwei smiled and shook his head before speaking.

"No, but the people in Liujia Village probably will, since they make a living by gathering herbs and hunting."

"That's right, I was only thinking about skinning them and selling them for money, I forgot about this. Let's go down the mountain and find the village elder!"
