So kind, what the hell are you fighting for?

Yellow Big Tiger passed away peacefully.

Screeeech... Screeeech... Screeeech!

More and more electric arcs coursed over Yellow Big Tiger's body, even forming a suit of armor around it. Its expression grew increasingly ferocious, as if suppressing immense pain.

"Big brother!" Black Tiger roared repeatedly, "No!"

"Heh." Yellow Big Tiger glanced back at it. "Silly little brother, my only regret is not unleashing this move the day my brothers died tragically. A moment's hesitation became the greatest regret of my life. You must leave alive today. As long as you're here, the glory of our Old Baldy Ditch Tiger Demon Lineage will not be extinguished! Haaah—"

It seemed unable to suppress itself any longer. Countless lightning dragons erupted from its limbs, bones, eyes, ears, nose, and mouth simultaneously. The dazzling light transformed it from its mottled yellow fur into a white tiger!

Their branch of tiger demons had only been able to transform from beasts for two generations. However, after coming to the city and coming into contact with human civilization, they were fundamentally different from those demonic beasts driven solely by survival instincts.

When Yellow Big Tiger studied human history in the basement, it discovered that humans were adept at using concepts like collective effort and heritage to unite various powers.

At that time, it thought that if their family's branch of tiger demons continued to prosper, they might, after thousands of years, become a powerful demon family, much like those ancient royal families in the demon realm that had been passed down for millennia.

The first step to heritage was knowing one's origins. Thus, it named their branch after the places where its brothers were born, much like human surnames like "Li of the Central Plains" or "Yang of Tianbei"...

The Old Baldy Ditch Tiger Demon Clan would one day become famous throughout the world!

It was just a pity that a sudden disaster shattered its dream. Now, all it could think about was avenging its brothers, even if it meant going to its death.

What it was now unleashing was the ultimate killing move it had comprehended from the Thunder Tiger Shocks Heaven Fist.

"It's using the power of lightning to stimulate its own blood vessels, meridians, muscles, and bones..." Zhao Xing'er observed its technique with slight surprise. "This way, it can unleash its own stronger combat power, but after the battle, its entire body will be almost ruined... Truly, it's ruthless."

"Hahaha." Yellow Big Tiger laughed loudly. "This is the profound meaning I comprehended from the Thunder Tiger Shocks Heaven Fist, allowing me to gain power beyond my limits. This level of electrical stimulation is something your frail human bodies can never imagine. It's a move unique to our Old Baldy Ditch Tiger Demon Lineage, and I've given it a name all my own—"

"Startling Thunder Sky Tiger Fist!"

"It just completely rearranged the other party's name?" The Big Rhinoceros Deer and Second Rhinoceros Deer nearby exclaimed in admiration. "As expected of someone who's lived in human cities for over a decade, their cultural depth is terrifying!"

"You both said it was a rearrangement, so where do you see cultural depth?" Zhao Xing'er said speechlessly. "While your fighting spirit is admirable, this will only make me go all out against you."

Despite her words, the Martial Spirit Red Light in Zhao Xing'er's eyes vanished.

As a cultivator specializing in martial arts, she understood better than anyone the immense price Yellow Big Tiger was paying by burning itself out. After this battle, even if it survived, its meridians would be almost shattered, turning it into a crippled tiger.

Such an enemy earned her respect.

Boom—

As Yellow Big Tiger's aura surged, it shouted to Black Tiger again, "Little Black, go! Leave this place! Regardless of victory or defeat today, our clan's bloodline will be passed down through you!"

"Big brother!" Black Tiger seemed reluctant.

"Go quickly!" Yellow Big Tiger yelled.

"Boss, it's time for us to make our move too." Zhao Xing'er was about to call Yue Wen to join the fight, but when she turned around, she found Yue Wen had already disappeared from her side. "Huh?"

Looking up again, she saw that Yue Wen had appeared behind Black Tiger at some unknown point!

"There's no reason to just wait around when the enemy unleashes their ultimate move!" Yue Wen shouted, Flying Sword in hand. His sword energy surged as he launched a surprise attack on Black Tiger.

His combat philosophy remained unchanged: prioritize eliminating the enemy's weakest combatant.

"Big brother, I'm not leaving, big brother..." Black Tiger, who had been immersed in the sorrow of its elder brother activating the Startling Thunder Sky Tiger Fist, suddenly felt a deadly longsword appear behind it. Its howl immediately turned into, "Big brother, save me!"

Whoosh—

Just as Yue Wen's sword energy was about to land, the white-glowing Yellow Big Tiger suddenly flickered. Moving almost instantaneously, it appeared above Black Tiger with a swish.

It clenched its fist, gathering power.

Boom, boom, boom—

As this punch was thrown, Yue Wen's figure vanished again. Yet, even though the punch missed, it still unleashed a violent thunderous explosion in mid-air!

Sensing the threat of death, Black Tiger immediately changed its tune. "Big brother, I'm leaving now. You all take care!"

With that, it turned and fled, disappearing like a wisp of black smoke.

Yellow Big Tiger had no time to respond. The next second, it turned back and unleashed a flying fist at the charging Zhao Xing'er! Swish—

"Good one!" Zhao Xing'er roared.

She flipped her hand and produced a bronze staff that reached her eyebrows, engaging the white-glowing Yellow Big Tiger in a fierce battle!

Fighting a tiger was indeed easier with a staff.

Bang, bang, crackle, boom, boom, boom!

The close-quarters combat began instantly. The figures of the two were as fast as lightning, almost impossible for the naked eye to track. Every clash between them caused a dual explosion of true qi and lightning, making the scene incredibly spectacular.

The sheer power of their physical martial arts alone was enough to create such a world-shaking spectacle, making it hard to believe they were cultivators in the lower three realms.

Meanwhile, on the other side, seeing Yellow Big Tiger holding Zhao Xing'er back, the two rhinoceros deer demons merged and charged fiercely towards Yue Wen!

Yue Wen had actually used a Shadow Talisman to secretly approach Black Tiger earlier, intending to sneakily kill a rear-echelon target. He hadn't expected Yellow Big Tiger to react so quickly. Fortunately, he swiftly shot the Shadow Talisman back to its original location, allowing him to teleport back.

His form became a blur, moving freely back and forth.

It was just a pity that Black Tiger had escaped. Before the fight even began, the Demon Suppressing Coin had already fled.

The Big Rhinoceros Deer and Second Rhinoceros Deer opposite used their most basic tactics, each holding a wrench and hammer, leaping up together and charging down with shouts.

Yue Wen used Sword Control Art to stab directly at the more heavily injured Second Rhinoceros Deer, his sword energy blasting and forcing it back. On the other side, he flipped his hand and shot out a dark purple Shadow Talisman, which flew towards the Big Rhinoceros Deer, only to be smashed away by its wrench.

Then, the Big Rhinoceros Deer's wrench fell heavily. If it hit, the result would be death or crippling injury!

Yue Wen's figure flashed again, and he instantly appeared at the position where the Shadow Talisman had been knocked away.

Although he hadn't had this technique for long, he had already comprehended it successfully and practiced it many times within the Visualization Diagram, mastering it to a considerable degree. That was why he dared to use it in actual combat.

If he had been a bit clumsy, they might have been separated. He wouldn't have dared to bring it out then.

However, he discovered that this move wasn't foolproof. Because this was the second time he'd used it, before he could even launch the attack, the Big Rhinoceros Deer had already predicted his landing spot in mid-air and swung a hammer at him!

"Here!"

Although the Rhinoceros Deer Demons weren't intelligent, their combat instincts were top-notch, as if innate. Relying on their perception of killing intent, they had still pinpointed Yue Wen's location at the first moment.

Bang!

Yue Wen didn't have time to dodge again. He grabbed the Shadow Talisman to block, but was still sent flying by the immense force, crashing heavily for more than ten meters and carving a deep gash in the ground.

Almost simultaneously, Zhao Xing'er on the other side was also sent flying by the berserk Yellow Big Tiger's punch, crashing down beside Yue Wen.

Whoosh--

Dust billowed. Zhao Xing'er, lying on the ground, said, "Its secret technique of fighting with its life is indeed powerful."

Yue Wen looked at her clear eyes and shouted, "How can you fight with such kindness? Where is your anger? Where is your Martial Spirit Red Light?"

"But I..." Zhao Xing'er also seemed troubled, "I'm not angry right now either."

Seeing Yellow Big Tiger's desperate fighting stance, she found it difficult to muster any anger.

Anger, sometimes, was like giving birth. Whether you didn't want to or wanted to, both were difficult.

Some who didn't want to could give birth just by going to the toilet, while some who wanted to couldn't produce one no matter what.

"I'm telling you, if you don't defeat it today, I won't give you a single cent of this livestream's income!" Yue Wen waved his hand and said, "And next month, even your base salary will be cut in half!"

"Hmph, you scoundrel!" Red light instantly flashed in Zhao Xing'er's eyes. "This is all my hard-earned money, why are you deducting it?"

"Heh," Yue Wen sneered. "The contract we signed has a clause stating that if normal work tasks are not completed, performance bonuses cannot be settled normally. This is your work task now, go!"

"Think about whether it's easier to win a lawsuit against a Tiger Demon or labor arbitration!"

The dust had just settled when he pushed Zhao Xing'er out.

Yellow Big Tiger, who was attacking from the air, instantly faced a Zhao Xing'er covered in red light, soaring upwards! Behind her was a massive phantom, crimson and reaching for the sky, wearing a golden circlet, looking incredibly fierce.

With the same staff, in the blink of an eye, she seemed to have transformed from a traveler skilled at fighting tigers into one skilled at fighting the Jade Emperor.

Was this right?

The next second, it could no longer see Zhao Xing'er. All it saw was endless red light. Faintly, it heard someone shout, "Damn capitalist, die for me—"

The sky was dyed crimson, a staff strike aimed at the heavens!

Boom--
