At this moment, there were still six Body Tempering Realm Tiger Demons in the field.
"Damn it!" Tiger Two was thoroughly enraged, its eyes bloodshot as it furiously tore apart its brother's headless corpse.
It never expected that its own claw wouldn't just fail to harm Chen Bin, but would instead mistakenly kill its own brother. "All of you, get out of here!"
It let out a furious roar, the sound causing the surrounding air to buzz and tremble.
The Tiger Demons were startled into a daze, quickly scattering in all directions.
Tiger Two's massive body crouched slightly, every strand of its fur standing on end, glowing with an eerie red light, and then it charged at Chen Bin like a cannonball leaving its barrel.
Chen Bin, however, acted as if he hadn't heard a thing, his figure as light as a ghost as he turned and pursued the remaining Tiger Demons.
Though Tiger Two was fast, it only knew how to charge straight ahead.
Chen Bin, on the other hand, stepped with the Lotus Step, his form flickering unpredictably, each movement trailing a faint afterimage.
He always managed to evade Tiger Two's grasp at the critical moment.
Those fleeing Tiger Demons, under Chen Bin's pursuit with the Ten Perfect Steps, were quickly caught up to. With a swing of his long blade, it was one strike, one kill.
[Killed six Body Tempering Realm Tiger Demons, gained 48 Merit, remaining Merit: 726]
"Roar, you..."
Tiger Two had been led around like a dog by Chen Bin, and now it was already panting heavily.
Every time it struck, it used all its strength to pounce and kill, but Chen Bin skillfully dodged, draining too much of its Qi and Blood.
Chen Bin stood steadily atop a pile of heads, the ground beneath him stained red with blood.
He held his blade, its tip pointing straight at Tiger Two, and spoke coldly: "Alright, they're all dead. Now, I'm going to cut off your head!"
With that, Chen Bin's figure vanished from the spot in an instant.
The long blade, wrapped in a fierce momentum, was about to strike Tiger Two's body.
Just at this critical moment, Chen Bin's steps suddenly halted. He stepped like a lotus, spinning his whole body like a top, instantly veering off his original path.
Immediately after, a massive tiger fist, shrouded in blood-red demonic aura that spread from Tiger Two's arm to cover the entire limb, came crashing straight at Chen Bin's face like a giant stone pillar.
The fist wind howled, the breaking air whistling past Chen Bin's ear, carrying a sharp sound.
Chen Bin reacted swiftly, turning his blade back and slashing it against Tiger Two's tiger arm.
Clang!!
The Demon Suppression Blade, wrapped in the Internal Energy of the Pure Yang Art's Qi Gathering Chapter, was actually bounced back by Tiger Two's arm.
The other massive tiger fist, its momentum undiminished, came smashing toward Chen Bin again.
Chen Bin twisted his body, sidestepping the punch, then turned and leaped to put distance between himself and Tiger Two.
He mused inwardly, killing a Tiger Demon not at full strength was this difficult; it seemed he couldn't keep fighting head-on like this.
As he pondered, he dashed toward Tiger One.
The wound on Tiger One's chest had stopped bleeding, sealed by nearly coagulated blood-red demonic aura.
Chen Bin's speed was extreme, his footwork nimble, just as he was about to close in on Tiger One.
In Tiger One's dim pupils, a speck of crimson suddenly spread, rapidly filling its entire eyes.
Not just its eyes—beneath its fur, red blood mist gushed out like a spring, spreading forward, instantly enveloping the area half a zhang around it.
Chen Bin channeled his Pure Yang Internal Energy, spreading it from the Tanzhong Acupoint in his chest through his limbs and bones. This force brought his figure to an abrupt halt.
Ten chi ahead was where Tiger One's demonic aura spread. Within that blood mist, an ominous presence stirred faintly.
Then, the demonic aura quickly condensed into a massive tiger head, its mouth wide open, lunging at Chen Bin.
At the same time, the force of Tiger Two's wind pressed in from behind like a tidal wave.
Seeing this, Chen Bin stepped with the Eight Trigrams Circling Step, his form like a black lightning bolt, instantly turning and leaping back, weaving behind Tiger Two in the process.
He swung his long blade, the black edge wrapped in a faint golden light, carving a long gash across Tiger Two's back as blood gushed out like a fountain.
This strike sent Tiger Two crashing directly into Tiger One's red demonic aura.
"Roar!" The tiger head formed from the red demonic aura collided with Tiger Two.
Both were stunned.
The demonic aura spreading from Tiger One shuddered violently, then quickly shrank back into its body, but the wound on its chest began to bleed profusely again.
Chen Bin looked at the two Tiger Demons before him, his heart sinking. It seemed that with his current strength, killing them would still be somewhat difficult.
His vision brought up his own panel.

Chen Bin felt the blade in his hand, as if it had been honed through years of tempering. Its compatibility with him was higher, its speed faster.
He slowly exhaled a mouthful of turbid air, then raised his head unhurriedly. His gaze was like a torch, fixed intently on the two Tiger Demons.
"Alright. Ready to die?"
The corners of Chen Bin's mouth lifted slightly, revealing a confident smile. Then he charged forward in a burst.
"Roar!"
"Don't hold back!"
Tiger One, now completely disregarding the wound on his chest, charged forward alongside Tiger Two with overwhelming momentum.
Watching this surging demonic aura, Chen Bin began to merge Golden Sun Body Tempering Technique with Pure Yang Art - Qi Gathering Chapter.

Golden Sun Body Tempering Technique had been perfectly integrated into Pure Yang Art - Qi Gathering Chapter.
Chen Bin felt as if countless tiny electric currents were running through his limbs and bones, a tingling numbness spreading throughout his body.
Immediately after, streams of warm "Qi," like birds returning to their nests, converged unceasingly toward the area of his heart, then surged wildly into the Tanzhong Acupoint.
At the same time, the bones in his body crackled like beans popping in a pan. Each crisp sound was evidence of his transformation.
Chen Bin could clearly feel his line of sight unconsciously rising another notch.
He had grown taller again.
Just then!
A tiger's roar.
