The Golden Tiger's Little Game

The rain poured down harder, and lightning flashed across the dark sky, briefly dispelling the endless darkness.

Hundreds of demonic creatures roared and stopped about thirty feet from the entrance of the mining area, their blood-red pupils filled with greed.

Suddenly, The demonic creatures parted, and a Golden Tiger Prince, about ten feet tall, with golden fur and black stripes, and a blood-red 'King' character imprinted on its forehead, slowly walked out.

A terrifying aura spread throughout the area, and the surrounding demonic creatures wailed and knelt on their forelegs.

Behind the Golden Tiger Prince followed two demonic creatures with slightly weaker auras.

One had a human-like head with a fleshy tumor, and the other was tiger-shaped and completely black as ink.

Bai Tianhei's expression turned grim as he took a step forward, blocking the aura emanating from the Golden Tiger.

Tie Wuqing's eyes were calm. He took a deep gulp of wine, hung the wine gourd at his waist, and stepped forward to stand shoulder-to-shoulder with Bai Tianhei.

"Human, allow me to introduce myself. I am the Prince Golden Tiger of the Mountain Lord Mountain Range. I disturb you tonight for only one person."

The Golden Tiger's ferocious head showed a human-like smile as it scanned the surroundings, finally stopping on Ye Xiaofan.

Ye Xiaofan felt a chill run straight from the base of his spine to the crown of his head.

This demonic creature, calling itself the Prince of the Mountain Lord Mountain Range, was terrifyingly powerful. Just its gaze made him unable to muster any will to resist.

This was a demonic creature whose strength was comparable to Tie Wuqing's.

"Hand over Ye Xiaofan, and I will not make things difficult for you."

The Golden Tiger paused for a moment and said indifferently.

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone was first stunned, then one by one, their gazes all turned towards Ye Xiaofan.

The quiet crowd instantly erupted, like a morning market.

Some's eyes flickered, while others glared angrily at the Golden Tiger.

Ye Xiaofan frowned, suppressing the boundless rage in his heart. As Tie Wuqing had said, he was being targeted by evil forces.

The Golden Tiger's words were malicious and designed to strike at the heart!

Bai Tianhei glanced at Ye Xiaofan subtly. He didn't know why this powerful demonic creature was specifically asking for Ye Xiaofan, but if the other party only wanted Ye Xiaofan and then retreated, it wouldn't be the worst outcome.

Thinking of the constant demonic attacks over the past two days, with colleagues dying one after another, and him being severely injured as well.

For a moment, he was tempted.

Ye Xiaofan noticed Bai Tianhei's sideways glance, and his heart sank. A deep sense of powerlessness filled his entire body.

"Still not strong enough."

Ye Xiaofan clenched his fists, gritted his teeth, ignored the gazes cast upon him, and met the Golden Tiger's eyes with fierce determination, devoid of any fear.

Luo Ming also noticed Bai Tianhei's hesitation, his face turning cold as he stood in front of Ye Xiaofan.

Sun Zhixiang sneered as he looked at Ye Xiaofan. If Ye Xiaofan were handed over, he would wholeheartedly agree.

Thus, Sun Zhigao Xiang tidied his emotions and secretly walked behind Bai Tianhei.

"Elder Bai, it's just sacrificing one Ye Xiaofan to save all the brothers. I believe Ye Xiaofan would definitely not refuse. To sacrifice for the Demon Suppression Division is the highest honor for a Demon Suppressing Guard."

Bai Tianhei, who was already tempted, felt that Sun Zhixiang's words made sense and became even more inclined.

Although Sun Zhixiang's voice was not loud, everyone present was a powerful cultivator, and his words were clearly heard by all.

Ye Xiaofan looked coldly at Sun Zhixiang, wanting to see how Bai Tianhei would choose.

The demonic creature wanted him, and Bai Tianhei wanted to hand him over.

It all depended on whether they had enough strength. He was not someone who would willingly be led to slaughter.

Killing intent surged in his chest!

Sun Zhixiang had now made it onto his kill list.

If Bai Tianhei decided to hand him over, then he wouldn't mind betraying the Demon Suppression Division, and another person would be added to his kill list.

The Golden Tiger observed everyone's expressions with amusement in its eyes.

It had spoken casually on a whim, and had also used its innate divine ability.

It didn't expect such an unexpected surprise; many of these humans with weak wills had been swayed by it.

Especially that old man at the Ninth Level Body Refinement, he had also been swayed. The Golden Tiger let out a disdainful cold laugh.

If it could capture Ye Xiaofan easily, it could also return earlier.

As for its promise not to make things difficult for these humans, it hadn't said that its subordinates wouldn't attack.

As long as it captured Ye Xiaofan and left, it wouldn't be breaking its word.

Thinking of this, the Golden Tiger's ferocious tiger head revealed a smug smile.

"Hmph! Spreading rumors and confusing the masses, all demonic creatures deserve to die. Ye Xiaofan, come behind me, this leader will ensure your safety."

Just then, Tie Wuqing let out a heavy snort. His deep, beautiful eyes were filled with solemnity.

This Golden Tiger was very strong, likely a Ninth Level Body Refinement expert who had already undergone the second Blood Replacement.

Although she had cultivated Qi and Blood Oddity and Qi and Blood Wolf Smoke, she had only undergone Blood Replacement once and wasn't confident she could kill the Golden Tiger.

Tie Wuqing's cold snort, carrying the power of Qi and Blood, seemed to shatter some invisible aura.

The many eyes that had been watching, expecting Bai Tianhei to hand over Ye Xiaofan, instantly cleared. What followed was endless fear.

They had actually been bewitched by a demonic creature just now.

Humans and demonic creatures were mortal enemies; how could they have believed the words of a demonic creature?

The Golden Tiger must have used some kind of mysterious technique.

Bai Tianhei also suddenly snapped back to his senses, his old face flushing red. If Tie Wuqing hadn't been here tonight, he would have committed an unforgivable sin.

Ye Xiaofan didn't stand on ceremony and immediately walked behind Tie Wuqing.

Bai Tianhei watched Ye Xiaofan, his lips moving, but in the end, he couldn't utter a single word.

What could he say? He had indeed been considering whether to agree to the Golden Tiger's proposal just now.

Even though he had fallen for the Golden Tiger's trick.

"Thank you, Helper Tie."

"No need for pleasantries."

Tie Wuqing replied indifferently.

Bai Tianhei let out an awkward laugh and turned his head away, too ashamed to face Ye Xiaofan.

"It seems you intend to use your own lives to protect Ye Xiaofan."

The Golden Tiger said with some regret. His innate divine ability had been broken by the woman wearing the bronze faceless mask before him.

However, he wanted to try again. It wouldn't cost him anything anyway.

The people who had regained their senses glared at the Golden Tiger with fury, wishing they could hack him to pieces, seeing that he still intended to play the same trick.

Sun Zhixiang, who had been immersed in the thought of Ye Xiaofan being handed over, clearly hadn't noticed all this.

"Old Bai, don't hesitate any longer. Hand over Ye Xiaofan, and tonight we won't have to fight demonic creatures desperately. Tomorrow we can bring back the Blood Copper..."

"Shut up!"

Bai Tianhei roared, his terrifying aura shaking Sun Zhixiang's face pale as he retreated repeatedly. He stood frozen on the spot, momentarily unsure of what had happened.

The hushed whispers reached Sun Zhixiang's ears, and he finally came to his senses.

His pale face became even paler.

He knew he was finished. There would be no place for him in the Demon Suppression Division, and the Sun Family couldn't protect him.

If there hadn't been a second time, it would have been fine.

But...

Bai Tianhei quickly regained his composure, his expression stern, and he angrily rebuked the Golden Tiger:

"Hmph, bewitching people. You only know how to use underhanded tactics."

"Heh heh, if you didn't have such thoughts in your hearts, how could I have bewitched you?"

The Golden Tiger laughed and said carelessly.

The next moment, His laughter abruptly stopped.

"Roar~"

A tiger's roar shattered the darkness. The Golden Tiger roared at the sky; the little game was over, and he had lost his patience.

Hearing the roar, the numerous demonic creatures could no longer suppress the endless greed in their hearts, and they charged forward with roars.

"Kill!"

Seeing the dark mass of demonic creatures charging over, Bai Tianhei no longer hesitated. He roared and charged forward, taking the lead.

"Kill!"

Everyone roared in unison and followed behind Bai Tianhei, charging towards the demonic creatures.

"Xiaofan, follow your heart in everything. No matter what decision you make, I won't blame you."

Luo Ming paused slightly as he passed Ye Xiaofan, gave him a deep look, left these words, and rushed out.

Ye Xiaofan's eyes flickered, and he hesitated for a moment.

Trust Tie Wuqing and Bai Tianhei to stop the demonic creature experts and protect him.

Or
