Tiger Roar Divine Fist, Slaying the Python

"Junior Brother Qin is using Fierce Tiger Pouncing!"

"Has he practiced the Fierce Tiger Fist to the same level as the Master?"

Liu Hao watched the figure battling the white python, his eyes filled with profound shock.

Thinking back to how he had once offered pointers to Qin Shuang on the Fierce Tiger Fist, he felt incredibly ashamed.

"Whoosh!"

Qin Shuang's figure flashed, instantly heading toward the depths of the Xuan Yin Mountain Range. He intended to lure the White Jade Golden Pattern Python into an unpopulated area before unleashing the Tiger Roar Divine Intent to kill it.

"Hiss, hiss, hiss~~~"

The White Jade Golden Pattern Python pursued relentlessly. Wherever it passed, trees toppled and gravel flew!

In the blink of an eye.

Qin Shuang and the White Jade Golden Pattern Python disappeared into the mountain forest.

"It's over. Junior Brother Qin is no match for that white python; he's been chased into the mountains."

Liu Hao looked in the direction where Qin Shuang and the white python had vanished, a trace of worry appearing in his eyes.

After all, Qin Shuang had saved them. If not for Qin Shuang, they definitely wouldn't have escaped today!

"This beast is too strong..."

Jin Yang sighed and said, "I hope Qin Shuang... is blessed with good fortune... Our strength is too low; we can't help at all... But since he saved us, let's follow from a distance and see if we can be of any help!"

"Mm."

Liu Hao nodded.

He knew clearly that all he and his martial uncle could do was watch from afar. If Qin Shuang were defeated, he would inevitably be swallowed by the white python, leaving not even a corpse behind.

Qin Shuang utilized the perfected Grass on Flying, sprinting at full speed.

His toes tapped against the treetops as his figure glided forward, fast as lightning. Below him, the White Jade Golden Pattern Python's eyes shot out cold, sinister light as it gave frantic chase. Everywhere it passed, trees were snapped in half, its momentum terrifying.

The man and the snake chased and fled for nearly twenty miles.

"Awoo!"

Suddenly, a tiger's roar rang out from ahead!

"There's a tiger up ahead?"

Hearing the sound of a tiger, Qin Shuang's eyes lit up. He immediately adjusted his movement and sped toward the direction of the tiger.

Before long, Qin Shuang spotted a stone cave entrance in a patch of forest, where two tigers, each two zhang long, were staring right at him.

Qin Shuang noticed that one of the tigers had a tuft of white fur in the center of its forehead—it was actually a White-Browed Tiger with Fiery Eyes!

The moment Qin Shuang touched the ground, the White-Browed Tiger with Fiery Eyes lunged at him!

"You beast!"

Qin Shuang instantly unleashed Fierce Tiger Rending. His blood energy surged violently, and the blood-red shadow of a fierce tiger manifested around his body as he pounced toward the White-Browed Tiger with Fiery Eyes!

"Boom!"

With a deafening crash, the White-Browed Tiger with Fiery Eyes was struck by Qin Shuang's Fierce Tiger Rending. Its skull collapsed instantly, and the massive carcass was sent flying five zhang away!

[Fierce Tiger Fist has upgraded to Tiger Roar Divine Fist!]

The moment Qin Shuang killed the White-Browed Tiger with Fiery Eyes, a notification rang out in his mind.

At the same time, a massive stream of information flooded into his sea of consciousness—it was the techniques and insights for executing the Tiger Roar Divine Fist!

In that instant, Qin Shuang felt as if he had been practicing this Tiger Roar Divine Fist for twenty or thirty years!

He realized that this Tiger Roar Divine Fist actually condensed blood energy into a Tiger Form Divine Intent, transforming it into a powerful punch to slay enemies!

Furthermore, Qin Shuang felt a surge of immense blood energy pouring into his entire body, nourishing all 206 of his bones and strengthening his flesh, blood, and skin!

"Awoo!"

At this moment, the other tiger, which appeared to be a female, saw Qin Shuang kill the male White-Browed Tiger with Fiery Eyes. It let out a roar, terror flashing in its tiger eyes, and turned to flee!

"Where do you think you're going!"

Qin Shuang utilized Grass on Flying, instantly catching up. He mounted the tiger's back and struck its head with a single punch!

"Splat!"

The tiger's head burst open like a watermelon!

Meanwhile, the White Jade Golden Pattern Python had caught up to within two zhang of Qin Shuang!

A scarlet snake tongue flickered in and out as the giant tail whipped toward Qin Shuang, attempting to coil around him. Unfortunately for the beast, Qin Shuang's perfected Grass on Flying was far too fast, allowing him to dodge by a hair's breadth.

"Awoo!"

The moment Qin Shuang evaded the pursuit of the White Jade Golden Pattern Python, he unleashed the Tiger Roar Divine Fist. Instantly, his qi and blood surged violently, and he transformed into a blood-red tiger, his roar shaking the heavens!

"Boom!"

The tiger avatar of Qin Shuang slammed a fist into the head of the White Jade Golden Pattern Python. The python's head swung backward, sending its entire body flying through the air to land seven or eight zhang away!

In mid-air, scarlet blood sprayed from its maw, and two blood-stained fangs were sent flying into the distance.

"Hiss~~~"

The White Jade Golden Pattern Python let out a hiss, its snake eyes filled with terror as it looked at Qin Shuang, then turned and fled!

"I want to see exactly where your lair is!"

Watching the White Jade Golden Pattern Python flee, Qin Shuang trailed slowly behind it.

This was an ingredient for refining the Dragon Blood Pill; how could he let it escape?

He had held back three parts of his strength when unleashing the Tiger Roar Divine Fist earlier, only intending to severely injure the White Jade Golden Pattern Python.

He knew well that the fact this White Jade Golden Pattern Python could evolve meant its dwelling place was extraordinary. Qin Shuang wanted to see if he could find any additional rewards.

Man and snake raced wildly. A quarter of an hour later, Qin Shuang followed the white python to the base of a cliff. The cliff face was as smooth as a mirror, with several pine trees growing on top and vines hanging down.

Below the cliff lay weeds and withered leaves, emitting a foul, decaying odor.

The white snake began to burrow into a hole over four feet high at the base of the stone wall!

"Whoosh!"

How could Qin Shuang let it enter the cave?

He instantly flashed forward, grabbed the tail of the White Jade Golden Pattern Python, and gave it a violent shake while pulling backward!

"Hiss, hiss, hiss!"

The White Jade Golden Pattern Python let out a heaven-shaking hiss from inside the cave, struggling desperately to burrow further in.

However, although Qin Shuang was still in the Bone Forging Realm, his strength had reached a terrifying level, comparable even to a Qi and Blood Furnace. With him gripping more than a zhang of the snake's tail and shaking it continuously, the White Jade Golden Pattern Python was dragged out of the stone cave inch by inch!

The two sides stalemated for ten minutes until the White Jade Golden Pattern Python could no longer endure. It suddenly retreated, opened its blood-red maw, and spat a mouthful of venom at Qin Shuang!

Qin Shuang had anticipated this. Still gripping the white python's tail, he deployed his Swimming Dragon Movement Technique and dodged the venom!

"Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle!"

The venom hit the ground, and the lush grass underneath instantly withered and turned black!

Qin Shuang's entire body was wreathed in the tiger-shaped aura of his blood energy. He grabbed the tail of the White Jade Golden Pattern Python and violently whipped it up and down!

The White Jade Golden Pattern Python hissed incessantly, trying to twist its body to attack Qin Shuang, but as Qin Shuang shook it violently, the python's body went limp on the ground, on the verge of death!

"Die!"

Qin Shuang grabbed the White Jade Golden Pattern Python and swung it around!

"Boom!"

The massive head of the White Jade Golden Pattern Python slammed against the stone wall again and again, sending gravel flying everywhere!

Qin Shuang smashed it seven or eight times until the White Jade Golden Pattern Python made no more sound; it was dead as a doornail.

"I'll check the cave first!"

Qin Shuang left the White Jade Golden Pattern Python at the entrance and headed into the Snake Cave.

The Snake Cave delved deep into the stone wall. The light was dim, but Qin Shuang could see clearly.

He climbed upward; the interior was very smooth, and in the middle was actually a fractured rock layer. Qin Shuang walked upward for more than twenty meters when, suddenly, a glimmer of light appeared ahead.

"This is..."

Qin Shuang reached the end of the light and discovered that it was a stone cavern divided into two chambers, each two zhang in size.

On the floor of the left chamber lay three snake molts.

In the right chamber, forty or fifty porcelain bottles were scattered across the floor. Against the wall sat a skeleton in a cross-legged position. The skeleton's bones were crystalline like jade, and its spine and the center of its forehead faintly shimmered with a hint of gold. The robes on its body had already weathered into dust.

Beside the skeleton's knees lay a pitch-black, sheathed long saber.

Qin Shuang walked forward and examined the porcelain bottles, only to find them empty; there were no medicinal pills left at all.

"No wonder this White Jade Unicorn Python was able to evolve golden patterns. It seems it must have consumed the pills from these bottles!"

Qin Shuang looked at the empty porcelain bottles on the ground, a sudden realization dawning on him.

It was a pity, though.

However, since the white python had absorbed the pills, and he would now absorb the white python, it amounted to the same thing.

In the corner of the wall, Qin Shuang also discovered some fragments of secret manuals. Faint traces of writing could still be seen on the scraps.

But.

Too much time had passed, and the fragments had weathered so badly that they turned to powder at the slightest touch.
