"Trash!"

The Tiger King flung away the Gold-Thread Great-Ring Saber, now reduced to half its length. If Wei Fan had not severed it with a single stroke of saber aura, how could he possibly have been injured?

Black demon power surged over his body, and the wound Wei Fan had carved into him vanished at an incredible speed!

"True Realm great demons really are hard to kill!"

Wei Fan was not surprised.

That slash of his could split even a boulder weighing several tons, yet it had only left a wound on the Tiger King. True Realm great demons were far more terrifying than Initial Realm Demons.

Especially their terrifying regenerative power. Unless the wound was fatal, it was practically useless.

"To injure me with True Qi Ninth Level cultivation... I never expected Cloud City to quietly produce someone like you. Those fools from the Fierce Tiger Gang actually dared provoke you."

The Tiger King wished he could kill the Fierce Tiger Gang members himself.

Why would you provoke such a freak? Were you looking to die?

Most importantly, they had now dragged him into provoking Wei Fan. Seven of his nine sons had been slaughtered by Wei Fan, and Wei Fan had even come all the way to his home to kill him.

"But since I've provoked you, I can only kill you."

The Tiger King shook both fists, black demon power covering them as he strode toward Wei Fan.

Compared to his saber techniques, his fist techniques were even more terrifying. His fists, shrouded in demon power, could actually clash head-on with Heavenly Gang saber aura. For a time, neither side could gain the upper hand.

"Friend, do you need help?"

Ning Xuan called out from the rooftop.

Though he was injured, Su Xuerong could still fight.

Wei Fan shouted, "No need. This beast is nothing special!"

Ning Xuan and Su Xuerong could not help twitching at that. Did that not mean the two of them were inferior even to a beast?

"Roar... you're courting death! I'll tear out your heart!"

The Tiger King roared furiously. One of his arms suddenly transformed into a tiger claw, its sharp talons slicing apart even Wei Fan's saber aura in one stroke.

With the threat of Heavenly Gang saber aura gone, he took one step and instantly closed in on Wei Fan. His tiger claw, radiating demon power, slashed toward Wei Fan's heart.

"This is bad. That constable Wei Fan is dead for sure!"

This sudden turn made Ning Xuan and Su Xuerong both believe Wei Fan was doomed. Even a cruel smile appeared on the Tiger King's face.

Riiip...

Wei Fan's clothes were torn apart in an instant. Yet what appeared was not the sight of his chest being ripped open and his heart torn out.

When the Tiger King's sharp claws struck Wei Fan's skin, strings of sparks flew instead.

"How is that possible..."

The Tiger King's eyes nearly popped out as he screamed in disbelief.

His tiger claws could tear through saber aura. Even an iron plate was no different from paper before them, yet they could only produce a spray of sparks against Wei Fan's body.

In that instant, a chill shot straight to the Tiger King's head.

"He cultivates body-tempering martial arts as well!"

Ning Xuan cried out in shock. Even a body forged from iron would not be this terrifying.

"It looks like he cultivated both the Iron Body Skill and the Glazed Treasure Body to the Ninth Level. But even if both body-tempering martial arts reached the Ninth Level, his physical defense should not be this terrifying. Even someone in the Body Refining Realm would find it difficult to possess such defense."

Su Xuerong spoke for the first time, a storm raging in her heart.

"Congratulations. You broke my weakest martial art. Now, you'll face my most terrifying weapon."

Wei Fan grinned, and the smile made the Tiger King's scalp prickle.

The saber aura that had made him so wary was actually Wei Fan's weakest technique.

"How could body-tempering martial arts produce a body like this?" The Tiger King's face was filled with horror.

"You beast, did you really think I dared come kill you relying only on the Heavenly Gang Blood Burning Saber?"

Wei Fan's body shuddered as his muscles swelled, his flesh taking on a metallic sheen.

Though he had not summoned the Golden Bell, it had been clinging to his skin all along, protecting his body.

Of all his methods, his defense was now the strongest.

The Golden Bell condensed from a hundred years of cultivation could not be broken even by a True Realm Demon like the Tiger King.

While the Tiger King was stunned, Wei Fan punched him in the mouth.

Bang!

With fifteen thousand jin of immense force, the Tiger King's head snapped backward, demon blood spraying everywhere.

"Roar... don't hit a demon in the face!"

The Tiger King was enraged. He also threw a punch at Wei Fan's face. He refused to believe that Wei Fan could temper such a fragile place as his head until it was as hard as his chest.

As the punch shot out, even the air let out an overloaded explosion.

Dragon's Roar Sky Shattering Finger!

Facing the Tiger King's furious punch, Wei Fan merely sneered and reached out with all five fingers.

His five fingers instantly emitted a blinding white light. Like sharp knife tips, they plunged into the Tiger King's massive fist with a wet pfft.

Then he clenched hard, directly ripping away half of the Tiger King's fist.

Dragon's Roar Sky Shattering Finger!

This was a martial art even more terrifying than the Heavenly Gang Blood Burning Saber. Wei Fan had previously spent twenty years of cultivation to bring Dragon's Roar Sky Shattering Finger to mastery.

There was nothing particularly mysterious about Dragon's Roar Sky Shattering Finger. It simply used true qi to temper the ten fingers without cease, honing them until they were sharper than blades.

The cultivation required to reach mastery was roughly seven times that of the Heavenly Gang Blood Burning Saber, so its power was naturally terrifying.

"Aoow..."

This time, the Tiger King did not roar in anger. Instead, he let out a shrill scream. Half his tiger claw had been torn away by Wei Fan, and only he knew the agony of it.

With a boom, demon aura exploded from his body as his frame began rapidly expanding.

He began revealing his true form. A gigantic tiger, over three meters tall and nearly six meters long, appeared before Wei Fan. Only one bloody, mangled paw ruined its tiger king's majesty.

"So you're finally willing to reveal your true form!"

Using the Flowing Cloud Chasing Wind Steps, Wei Fan leaped onto the Tiger King's back in a flash. His five fingers, like sharp heavenly blades, tore down again and again, sending flesh and blood flying everywhere.

After several breaths, Wei Fan had even torn out several of the Tiger King's bones. The beast howled as though his heart and lungs were being ripped apart.

"Spare me! I never took the initiative to provoke you. You were the one who killed my sons first."

"As long as you spare me, I'll leave Cloud City immediately and never return."

"Otherwise, even if you kill me, you'll be in trouble too!"

The Tiger King was terrified and began begging for mercy.

The mastered Dragon's Roar Sky Shattering Finger was simply too terrifying. The flesh of a True Realm great demon was like papier-mâché before it, with great chunks torn away at every pull. Ning Xuan and Su Xuerong watched with their scalps tingling.

"How could someone at the True Qi Realm cultivate Dragon's Roar Sky Shattering Finger to mastery?"

The two exchanged horrified glances.

This was a technique passed down by the Demon Suppressing Division. It contained tempering methods for the True Qi Realm as well as the Acupoint Splitting Realm.

In theory, its True Qi Realm portion could be cultivated to mastery in the True Qi Realm, as long as one's true qi was sufficiently pure.

But in reality, let alone those at the True Qi Realm, many people failed to cultivate the True Qi Realm version of Dragon's Roar Sky Shattering Finger to mastery even after reaching the Acupoint Splitting Realm.

First, their true qi purity could not keep up. Second, the pain of tempering was not something an ordinary person could endure.

Body-tempering martial arts were already painful enough, but compared to the pain of cultivating Dragon's Roar Sky Shattering Finger, they were simply incomparable.

Of course, there was another reason. After splitting the acupoints, a person's true qi underwent changes, making tempering even more difficult.

Therefore, if one could not cultivate Dragon's Roar Sky Shattering Finger to mastery in the True Qi Realm, it would only become harder in the Acupoint Splitting Realm.

"I'd like to spare you too, but a family should be together, neat and whole."

Wei Fan leaped onto the Tiger King's head and this time tore off his skullcap in one pull.

"Someone will avenge me..."

The Tiger King wailed once as his massive body began to collapse.

Killed the Tiger King, gained 80 years of cultivation Current cultivation: 146 years

"The Tiger King is dead. Someone at the True Qi Realm killed a demon that neither of us, two Acupoint Splitting Realm cultivators, could kill!"

Ning Xuan and Su Xuerong leaped down from the rooftop, their expressions complicated and their hearts churning like stormy seas.

The man before them was simply terrifying. Every martial skill he possessed had reached mastery. He had even cultivated two body-tempering martial arts, techniques that consumed immense time and effort, to the Ninth Level. He was like a monster.

"You two do not seem to be from Cloud City. Tell me your identities!"

After wiping the blood from his hands, Wei Fan looked toward Ning Xuan and Su Xuerong.

The two had watched him fight from beginning to end. If his golden finger had not shown no reaction toward them, proving they had no ties to demons, he would already have made his move.
