Demon Race Appears! Kill!

After Su Xian showed off a little, the Liu family members around him became even more respectful, treating him as an honored guest.

Su Xian also inquired about the Liu family's situation with the Liu family head and others.

Before these people died, were there any strange occurrences?

Or did the deceased have any particular characteristics?

"Based on the people who died in previous days, generally speaking, this demon attacks around midnight!"

"It attacks the servants of our Liu family. They are basically patrolling the Liu family grounds at midnight."

"It's very likely they ran into that demon and were killed by it."

"It was the same with our guard. He was waiting for the demon in the courtyard at midnight, and the next morning, his shriveled corpse was found."

The Liu family head, Liu Xuan, was explaining the demon's patterns of activity to Su Xian.

At night, anyone within the Liu family grounds who hadn't entered a room could potentially be attacked by this demon.

If Su Xian wanted to find the demon, he just needed to move around the Liu mansion at night.

Hearing this, Su Xian couldn't help but frown.

This demon is acting so brazenly; is it truly not afraid of someone coming to kill it?

After listening to the Liu family head finish, Su Xian nodded slightly and looked at everyone.

"You all stay in your rooms tonight. Don't come out, no matter what you hear."

"I will be moving around the Liu mansion to lure the demon out!"

"Remember, it's best if none of you come out. If possible, hide behind something sturdy!"

"Otherwise, the aftermath of the battle between me and that demon could very well injure you!"

Su Xian cautioned everyone. With his current cultivation at the Bone Tempering Realm, the commotion during his fight with the demon might be quite significant. The aftershocks of their battle could potentially harm some people.

"Okay!"

Everyone nodded in response. They knew they couldn't participate in a battle between such powerful individuals. For their own safety, it was indeed best to hide as Su Xian suggested.

As night fell, the Liu family members had already fearfully retreated into their rooms. The Liu family head and the others had even hidden in a secret underground cave within the Liu family estate.

Su Xian, however, moved through the Liu mansion with his saber. According to the Liu family head, based on the time of death after examining the bodies killed by the demon, this demon always acted around midnight.

Su Xian walked through the Liu mansion, now familiar with its general layout. He was just waiting for the demon to arrive!

The night breeze blew gently, and a bright moon hung high in the sky, illuminating the Liu mansion!

Su Xian walked through the Liu mansion, the atmosphere growing increasingly tense. Su Xian seemed oblivious, continuing his patrol.

Suddenly! A blur of motion flashed by! Su Xian blocked backward with his saber!

Clang! Sparks flew!

A pair of sharp claws struck Su Xian's blade, igniting sparks!

Feeling the power of that strike, Su Xian's heart settled! It's only peak Tendon Refining!

Failing to land a hit, the attacking demon couldn't help but pause. Su Xian turned around and looked at the demon that had attacked him. It had silvery-white fur that shimmered faintly under the moonlight. Its two large, tiger-like eyes were fixed on Su Xian, and a black character for "king" on its forehead stood out prominently against its silver-white fur.

"Tiger Demon?"

Looking at the appearance of the stealthy demon, Su Xian immediately recognized what kind of monster it was.

If you think this book is good, remember to add it to your bookshelf so you don't lose it next time.

Tiger Demons are considered a notable part of the Demon Race within Green Dragon Mountain, collectively known as the Four Great Demon Races along with Wolf Demons, Fox Demons, and Yellow Weasels. However, Tiger Demons generally stay within Green Dragon Mountain and rarely venture out.

Why did you come out, and even attack the Liu family within Blackwater County?

Su Xian felt a bit puzzled.

"Human, I didn't expect you to be able to block this move. You're not entirely without skill."

"You don't look like someone from the Liu family. How about you leave now and I'll let you go?"

The Tiger Demon spoke in a deep voice, staring intently at Su Xian.

Being able to block his sneak attack meant his strength was likely not to be underestimated.

Even though he was a Tiger Demon with a strong physique, stronger than ordinary peak Tendon Refining Realm martial artists, he didn't want to take any risks.

Hearing the Tiger Demon's words, Su Xian narrowed his eyes and said faintly:

"From what you're saying, you're only targeting the Liu family. Is there something the Liu family possesses that you covet? Or were you sent by someone to target the Liu family?"

Su Xian continued to ask. It was obvious this Tiger Demon was not simple.

Logically, a martial artist like him, with his qi and blood, should be more appealing to the Tiger Demon.

Yet, this Tiger Demon wanted him to leave, which was clearly abnormal.

The Tiger Demon's expression sank upon hearing this: "Human, don't refuse a toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit. There are some things you shouldn't ask about, do you understand? Knowing too much can get you killed."

The Tiger Demon grinned, revealing a mouth full of sharp teeth, exuding a fierce aura!

"I'll ask one last time, are you leaving or not?"

The Tiger Demon spoke coldly, sharp tiger claws extending from his paws. With a gentle swipe, they carved several cracks into the hard bluestone ground.

Although the person before him was not weak, he was not a demon who feared trouble either.

If he hadn't wanted to avoid causing too much of a commotion, he would have already torn the person before him to shreds.

Listening to the Tiger Demon's words, Su Xian remained silent, merely gripping the precious saber in his hand. Moonlight shone down, reflecting off the blade!

A killing aura permeated the air!

"Very well! Since you refuse a toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit, I wonder how your heart will taste?"

Seeing Su Xian's demeanor, the Tiger Demon let out a cold laugh and licked his nose with his tiger tongue.

As soon as the words fell, the fierce tiger lunged at Su Xian, its sharp claws like several blades, slashing directly at him.

A sound of air being torn apart rang out. There was no doubt that even a peak Tendon Refining Realm martial artist would have their chest ripped open if they took this strike!

But Su Xian was no Tendon Refining Realm martial artist; he had already achieved the Bone Tempering Realm Early Stage!

His qi and blood circulated within his body, and his bones erupted with a red glow! His surrounding muscles also shone brilliantly!

As the white moonlight shone down, a faint red glow emanated from Su Xian, and a bloody light flashed in his eyes!

Gale Six Slashes - Storm Rend!

With a low shout, he raised his saber to meet the Tiger Demon's claws!

The strongest move of the third-grade Martial Skill, Gale Six Slashes, was unleashed with full force!

A bloody flame appeared on Su Xian's saber! A flash of blood-red light! Saber met claws!

A blinding flash of fire erupted where the saber and claws clashed!

Red flames spread, igniting the fur around the tiger's claws!

Fortunately, the precious saber in Su Xian's hand was of good quality, otherwise, under the Tiger Demon's claw, the saber in his hand would likely have shattered!

The Tiger Demon on the other side was also not faring well. His palm vibrated intensely, the power of Su Xian's slash numbing his arm and rendering it powerless!

The Tiger Demon's heart trembled violently!

His face was filled with shock. This move of his would have heavily injured an ordinary peak Tendon Refining Realm martial artist, but he never expected it to be blocked head-on, and he himself had half his body numbed!

"Ha! Come again!"

Su Xian let out a loud laugh and attacked again, unleashing the six slashes in succession!

One slash followed another, red flames erupting, illuminating the surroundings and dyeing them blood-red!
