Open and Aboveboard Sneak Attack!

The temple door creaked open once more.

This time, a group of traveling merchants entered.

Judging by their attire, they were clearly from out of town. If they weren't, they wouldn't dare enter Weihu Mountain, even if it meant taking a detour.

Zhou Yan took the initiative to strike up a conversation with them. During their chat, he asked if they knew about the monsters in Weihu Mountain.

The leader of the merchants wiped the rain from his face and replied, "We have no choice. If we don't speed up, we won't be able to sell our goods, and our families will starve."

Bai Xue, dressed in green, asked curiously, "If you can't sell them, why not start a different business?"

"We don't have the capital."

"Can't you borrow a few hundred taels of silver from relatives or friends? It should be easy, right?"

The merchants exchanged glances, looking at the pretty young girl.

Li Xuanxiao, hidden in the shrine, glanced at Bai Xue. Talk about the 'let them eat cake' mentality made manifest.

Zhou Yan gave Bai Xue a look and smiled apologetically at the merchants.

"I apologize, my junior sister is naive about the ways of the world. Please don't take offense."

The merchant leader waved his hand.

Zhou Yan continued, "A few hundred taels of silver is hardly enough for anything. If you're going to borrow, you should borrow a few thousand, enough to start a proper business.

Otherwise, I suggest you rent out your houses and fields. Let others farm them while you collect rent. That's how my family does it."

The merchants: ...

Li Xuanxiao thought, You and your junior sister are in the same boat.

The merchants chuckled awkwardly and were about to say something when suddenly, a low roar echoed from outside.

The sound seemed to come from ancient times, piercing through the wind and rain to reach their ears.

Despite the raging storm, the roar was incredibly clear, like a sharp sword cutting through the sky.

The merchants were startled.

Are we really this unlucky? Have we run into the Tiger Demon?

Zhou Yan, Bai Xue, Qingfeng, and Qingming remained calm.

In fact, they were a little excited, as they had come specifically to hunt the Tiger Demon.

They had expected to put in some effort, but they hadn't thought the Tiger Demon would show up so quickly on its own.

The already precarious and dilapidated gate of the mountain god temple was torn apart by the fierce gale.

A cold wind, carrying the scent of rain and mud, howled in, making everyone present shiver.

Everyone's gaze was drawn to the entrance.

Through the pouring rain, a massive tiger head emerged from the darkness!

Its body was enormous and imposing, like a moving hill.

On its head, a pair of eyes, as large as bronze bells, gleamed with chilling light.

Above the beast's head, streaks of lightning intermittently split the dark night sky, illuminating the surroundings as bright as day.

With each flash of lightning, the tiger's fur reflected a dazzling glow, making it appear even more ferocious and terrifying.

The merchants had long since turned pale with fear. They had never seen such a large tiger before.

The tiger's massive form suddenly stopped, and a look of disdain flashed in its eyes.

"Another cultivator who overestimates themselves!"

Zhou Yan snorted and stepped forward, blocking the merchants. "We'll see if I'm overestimating myself."

Qingfeng clasped his hands. "Benefactor tiger, the sea of suffering is boundless; turn back to the shore. Lay down your butcher's knife and become a Buddha. Amitabha."

The white-browed tiger roared, "Stop your nonsense and take my life!!"

Four figures darted out of the temple almost simultaneously, engaging the Tiger Demon in battle.

"The series of sword moves, though appearing sharp and fierce, reveals numerous flaws upon closer inspection.

While the movements can be described as agile, the transitions between each stance seem rushed and lack stability.

This is especially evident when executing more complex sword forms, clearly exposing the weakness of shallow cultivation and an unstable foundation.

If you can't find the book by its title, try searching for the author. Perhaps the title has been changed!

The essence of the Xuantian Sword Sect's sword techniques lies in their fluidity and stability.

However, the swordsmanship displayed before me, while bearing some resemblance, fails to truly grasp its profound mysteries..."

Li Xuanxiao observed the battle, focusing his attention on Zhou Yan, who wielded the strongest swordplay.

"The palm techniques of Fahua Temple are indeed as renowned as ever!"

Under the righteous beating of the four, the White-Browed Tiger retreated steadily.

The White-Browed Tiger let out an angry roar.

Clouds follow the dragon, wind follows the tiger.

A fierce wind swept through the surroundings.

Li Xuanxiao's spiritual sense moved.

Two Tiger Demons from Weihu Mountain, and now another one has appeared.

As soon as this Tiger Demon appeared, it exuded a powerful aura that could not be ignored, astonishing everyone present.

It was entirely snow-white, as if covered in a thick layer of snow, without a single misplaced hair, crystal clear and emitting a faint cold light.

Compared to the previous Tiger Demon, its size was immense, more than double.

"What scoundrel dares to injure my husband!!"

The situation immediately became a two-on-four scenario.

"Hiss!"

Zhou Yan's expression changed slightly.

Something was wrong. The information stated that both Tiger Demons' cultivation was at the mid-Foundation Establishment stage.

But now, the female tiger had already reached Grand Perfection Foundation Establishment, Half-step Golden Core.

This female tiger was even more ferocious, relying on its powerful physical body, it attacked recklessly.

It was also much more difficult to deal with, and its combat intelligence was far superior to the male tiger's.

It feinted and then lunged towards Bai Xue, the weakest among the four.

"Junior Sister, be careful!!"

Zhou Yan wanted to turn back to save her, but it was too late.

Bai Xue held her long sword and thrust it fiercely towards the ferocious female tiger.

However, the female tiger reacted extremely agilely, swinging its huge and powerful claws, and slapped the sword body fiercely.

The long sword in Bai Xue's hand was like a light, fluttering feather, easily batted away.

At this critical moment, when every second counted, suddenly, a bright, snow-white sword light shot out like lightning!

This sword light was incredibly fast, carrying an extremely sharp momentum, heading straight for the female tiger.

Li Xuanxiao emerged from the divine statue.

This sword light came so fast that the female tiger had no time to dodge.

It pierced through the female tiger's chest and sent it flying backward.

Li Xuanxiao's style of play is "if I don't act, I don't act at all."

When he acts, it's precise and ruthless!!

An Open and Aboveboard Sneak Attack!!

After landing the blow, he didn't waste any words.

A prepared talisman in his hand was then sent flying.

Bird in a Cage.

The talisman formed a cage, trapping the female tiger.

At the same time, he thrust out another sword.

Just then, a furious roar sounded.

"Don't you dare harm my wife!"

A figure blocked Li Xuanxiao's sword tip.

It was the male tiger.

Li Xuanxiao's sword pierced through its body.
