Tiger Roar Forest.
The moment Li Changsheng approached, he heard wave after wave of tiger roars. The tiger demons were fighting and slaughtering martial artists.
"The battle has begun. I need to kill a tiger demon as soon as possible too."
Li Changsheng's demands were not high. As long as he killed one tiger demon, he could obtain a large amount of tiger bones and tiger demon blood, enough to refine plenty of Tiger Bone Secret Medicine.
Tiger Roar Forest was in chaos at the moment, with many tiger demons fleeing in all directions.
Thus, Li Changsheng soon encountered a tiger demon. However, this tiger demon was no weakling; it had reached the realm of a Level 4 Minor Demon.
A Level 4 Minor Demon was comparable to a Blood Changing Realm martial artist. Moreover, tiger demons were no ordinary demons—their strength surpassed that of many powerful Blood Changing Realm martial artists.
Yet Li Changsheng was not weak either. Back when he was at the Dragon Skin Realm, he had already been able to contend with powerful Blood Changing Realm martial artists. Now that he had broken through to the Bone Refining Realm and forged two hundred iron bones, his strength had increased considerably. He had a chance of killing this tiger demon.
"Azure Dragon Armor Technique!"
Li Changsheng activated this Body Divine Ability. Azure dragon scales gradually emerged across his body, forming a suit of dragon-scale armor that even covered both his hands.
Immediately afterward, he charged at the tiger demon and engaged it in a savage hand-to-paw battle.
Boom!!!
Man and demon collided, fist against claw.
Li Changsheng sent the tiger demon flying with one punch, but the tiger demon's claw also struck his body. Although it failed to break through his defenses, the impact injured his muscles, bones, and internal organs.
The injuries were not severe, but if he continued fighting like this, he would not be able to last long.
"I underestimated this tiger demon. Any weaker Blood Changing Realm martial artist who encountered it would be killed in an instant. This tiger demon is definitely comparable to a martial artist at the third transformation of the Blood Changing Realm, and one with a fairly solid foundation at that."
The weakest foundations undoubtedly belonged to Blood Changing Realm martial artists who had broken through with iron skin, iron bones, and iron tendons. However, such Blood Changing Realm martial artists were extremely rare, because with such a poor foundation, breaking through to the Blood Changing Realm was hardly possible.
The most common Blood Changing Realm breakthroughs came from foundations of bronze skin, bronze bones, and bronze tendons. Or there were foundations such as bronze skin, bronze bones, and iron tendons, which also had a chance of breaking through to the Blood Changing Realm. But such Blood Changing Realm martial artists were absolutely no match for this tiger demon.
Human bodies were inherently inferior to demons, and this tiger demon's physical body was exceptionally formidable. Even its internal organs were naturally stronger than those of humans, making it far from easy to kill.
However.
Li Changsheng paid no heed to his injuries. Activating the Azure Dragon Armor Technique, he continued charging forward to fight.
Collision after collision, Li Changsheng was wounded again and again. But the Healing Dao Fruit took effect, slowly repairing his injuries, and during that healing process, the Healing Dao Fruit's experience also rose.
At this pace, it would not be long before his Healing Dao Fruit broke through to Level 1!
Within a quarter of an hour.
Li Changsheng's injuries had become rather serious. Mainly because the Level 0 Healing Dao Fruit's healing effect was too poor; its recovery speed could not keep up with the speed at which he was being injured.
Of course, the tiger demon was not doing well either. It had also been injured by Li Changsheng, and its wounds were severe.
Suddenly.
Li Changsheng felt the injuries across his body rapidly recover by more than half. Only then did he realize that the Healing Dao Fruit had leveled up, rising from Level 0 to Level 1. At the instant it advanced, more than half his injuries were healed.
The Level 1 Healing Dao Fruit had quite a good recovery effect. At the very least, it could keep pace with the rate at which he was injured, preventing his wounds from worsening.
"Azure Steel Bone Refining Fist!"
Li Changsheng threw another punch into the tiger demon's body. The terrifying force directly broke one of the bones in its chest. The shattered bone pierced straight into its heart, punching through it.
After suffering that blow, the tiger demon was thoroughly finished.
After killing the tiger demon, Li Changsheng smiled. His objective had been achieved, so he immediately hoisted the tiger demon, which weighed at least two thousand jin, onto his shoulder and left Tiger Roar Forest.
"I can't return to Baiye City yet. The corpse of a Level 4 tiger demon is highly valuable, and Baiye City currently has a great need for tiger bones and tiger blood. Once I bring it back, the City Guard might buy my tiger demon corpse on the spot. If I refuse to sell, they may force the purchase."
Li Changsheng planned to find a place outside the city and rest for a few days. Only after this matter had died down would he bring the tiger bones and tiger demon blood back.
Before long, Li Changsheng found an abandoned town.
There were many towns and villages outside Baiye City, but many places suffered demon attacks year-round, leaving numerous towns and villages abandoned. This town was one that had suffered devastating losses in a demon attack ten years ago and had ultimately been deserted.
Li Changsheng entered a seemingly intact courtyard in the abandoned town and settled in. He was not particular about the environment, and simply dissected the tiger demon there.
He filled bamboo tubes with the tiger demon's demon blood, then extracted its tiger bones. Its tiger tendons and internal organs also had some value, so he collected those as well.
The least valuable part of the tiger demon was naturally all that tiger meat. But Li Changsheng was interested in it. He ate the meat directly, and with the Vajra Dao Fruit, he feared none of the Demonic Nature within it.
Unfortunately, even the meat of a Level 4 tiger demon did little to improve the Vajra Dao Fruit. Still, it was enough to fill his stomach.
Before long.
Three days passed.
Li Changsheng ate every last bit of the tiger demon's meat, yet it only increased the Vajra Dao Fruit's experience by 2%.
Afterward, he made a wooden box, stored the tiger bones and tiger demon blood inside it, then carried it on his back as he headed for Baiye City.
Three days had passed. The battle at Tiger Roar Forest must have ended long ago, so there should be no problem returning now.
Sure enough.
Li Changsheng returned to Baiye City without being searched and made it back with ease.
After returning to his residence, he hid those items away, then went to the Demon Suppression Division to learn about the situation.
From Cao Jun, he learned that the inner city had suffered considerable losses in the battle at Tiger Roar Forest. Although they had wiped out many tiger demons in Tiger Roar Forest, an unexpected incident had occurred. Several Great Demons had arrived from elsewhere to provide support and fought the major figures of the inner city. At least six major figures Above Viscera Realm had fallen.
"I never expected so many major figures Above Viscera Realm to die. Luckily, I didn't venture too deep. I ran immediately after killing one tiger demon. If I had stayed any longer, I might have been in trouble!"
After returning from the Demon Suppression Division, Li Changsheng began refining Tiger Bone Secret Medicine.
This time, he had sufficient tiger bones and tiger demon blood, and they were fresh tiger bones and tiger demon blood from a Level 4 tiger demon, making it easier to refine Flawless Tiger Bone Secret Medicine.
Before long, Li Changsheng refined a batch of Flawless Tiger Bone Secret Medicine.
With an ample supply of Tiger Bone Secret Medicine, Li Changsheng resumed his bone-refining cultivation. One iron bone after another was tempered into existence.
A month later, he finally forged all three hundred and sixty-five iron bones throughout his body. His physical body transformed, and his strength surged greatly.
If he fought that tiger demon again now, he was confident he could kill it within a few moves.
