Su Xian stood in a shadowy corner outside the main hall.
He took in every movement inside the main hall without missing a thing.
Listening to the voices inside, Su Xian remained expressionless. The Liu Family Head had brought this upon himself.
Su Xian had advised him before: act swiftly and leave the city as quickly as possible. That was his only chance of survival.
Since the Liu Family Head had ignored him,
it was only natural that he was now surrounded by the Black Tiger Gang with no way to escape by land or sky.
"Still, it seems that Tiger Demon really was no ordinary demon!" Su Xian thought.
Back then, he had already felt that the Tiger Demon had an unusually long Remaining Lifespan and unusually high cultivation,
so it seemed he really had been a prodigy of the Tiger Clan from Green Dragon Mountain. Killing him had indeed brought trouble!
Inside the main hall!
The Liu Family Head's body trembled nonstop. Listening to the Black Tiger Gang member beside him, he could not help feeling immense regret!
If he had known this would happen, he would have listened to that man and left Blackwater County under cover of night!
That way, he would not have had to suffer this disaster!
Seeing the Liu Family Head in such a state, the Black Tiger Gang member beside him wore a look of disdain.
He was merely a wealthy merchant, yet he had actually dreamed of escaping the Black Tiger Gang's punishment. What a pipe dream!
At the same time, that member felt a surge of irritation.
Who knew what the Gang Leader was thinking? He insisted on slowly killing these members of the Liu Family,
and even wanted them to hand over that painting themselves!
If it were up to him, he absolutely would not give the Liu Family Head any time to think.
He would first seize control of every member of the Liu Family!
He would not let them have any chance to damage the painting!
Then he would kill one member of the Liu Family every ten minutes!
Let's see if he'll hand it over then!
At this thought, the Black Tiger Gang member could not help revealing a bloodthirsty expression.
He looked toward the Tiger Demon eating a person in the center of the main hall. The bloodlust in his eyes faded, replaced by fear.
This was the Great Elder of the Tiger Clan from Green Dragon Mountain—the uncle of that Tiger Demon!
His cultivation was at the mid-stage of the Bone Tempering Realm!
On top of that, demons like him were naturally blessed with powerful bodies. Even a powerhouse in the late-stage of the Bone Tempering Realm
would gain no advantage whatsoever when facing this Tiger Demon!
He was known throughout Blackwater County as the strongest existence below the three Viscera Nourishing Realm experts!
"Fortunately, our Black Tiger Gang has ties with the Demon Race!"
"If the four great demon clans of Green Dragon Mountain charged into Blackwater County and ate people at will,
"then perhaps only our Black Tiger Gang would survive in Blackwater County!"
the Black Tiger Gang member secretly sighed.
At the same time, he felt somewhat lucky. Fortunately, their Black Tiger Gang had ties with the Demon Race!
That was why the members of the Black Tiger Gang hardly ever encountered demons coming to harm them within Blackwater County!
"Bring me another person!"
Inside the main hall, after finishing the heart in his hand, the White Tiger slowly spoke,
with quite a bit of blood still clinging to the corners of his mouth and dripping down drop by drop.
"Yes, my lord!"
The Black Tiger Gang member hurriedly nodded, then opened the main hall's doors,
preparing to go to the dungeon and bring another person over!
The underground passage where the Liu Family had originally hidden had already been completely taken over by the Black Tiger Gang,
and converted into a crude dungeon. At present, everyone in the Liu Family except the family head
was locked inside.
Hearing this, the Liu Family Head, Liu Xuan, trembled like a sieve and hurriedly begged for mercy:
"My lord, we truly don't know who accepted the bounty! Please spare my family!"
Liu Xuan frantically kowtowed, and mottled traces of blood had already appeared on his forehead!
Yet the Tiger Demon remained indifferent. Looking at Liu Xuan kowtowing not far away, he said nothing.
Since he could not find the person who had personally killed his nephew,
the members of the Liu Family who had hired the killer naturally could not be allowed to live either!
If not for the orders of the Lord of Azure Dragon Mountain,
their entire Tiger Clan had even wanted to charge straight into Blackwater County and slaughter to their hearts' content!
"Hmph!" The Tiger Demon snorted coldly, white vapor spraying from his nostrils!
He stuck out his tongue and licked the blood from the corner of his mouth!
If not for the Black Tiger Gang Leader, the family head would have been the first person he killed!
Outside the main hall, a streak of saber light flashed!
A headless body collapsed limply to the ground.
Su Xian entered the main hall with his saber in hand.
With a casual slash, he sent the other Black Tiger Gang member still inside the hall to the afterlife.
Shaking the blood from his saber, Su Xian looked at the Tiger Demon before him and smiled.
"I wonder how many years of Demon Lifespan you'll give me?"
Seeing Su Xian kill the Black Tiger Gang member inside the main hall,
the Tiger Demon's expression did not change in the slightest, as though only an irrelevant person had died.
The Tiger Demon merely rose to his feet and looked toward Su Xian as he entered!
The head of the other Black Tiger Gang member rolled to Liu Xuan's feet.
Seeing this scene in the main hall, Liu Xuan froze.
Since Su Xian had worn a mask back then, and his clothes were different as well,
and since Su Xian had now changed not only his appearance but even his height,
the family head, Liu Xuan, naturally failed to recognize that the person before him was the one who had accepted his bounty back then.
"Human, what are you doing here?"
The White Tiger looked at Su Xian and let out a low growl, speaking softly.
The murderous intent in his tone was completely undisguised!
"I'm only borrowing your life for a while." As soon as he finished speaking, Su Xian drew the treasured saber in his hand!
"World Cleaving Demon Slaying True Art!"
Rumble!
The fifth-grade World Cleaving Demon Slaying True Art erupted with terrifying force!
Su Xian's cultivation at the Peak Viscera Nourishing Realm burst forth!
Powerful Qi and Blood Power flooded into the long saber, dyeing the entire blade crimson!
Seeing this, the Tiger Demon's expression turned solemn. Something was wrong with this aura!
The Tiger Demon's legs began to tremble slightly!
This aura was far too intense!
It was even more terrifying than when he faced his clan leader!
"Damn it, he's an expert! I'll fight him!" the Tiger Demon roared!
The fur across his body bristled! His sharp claws shot out,
flashing with cold glints!
He met the sudden crimson slash head-on!
The long saber descended!
Blood light soared into the sky!
A massive crimson saber aura fell from above!
Like a hot knife slicing through a yellow ox, the crimson saber aura effortlessly severed the Tiger Demon's claws!
A numb, scorching sensation surged from his palms!
The Tiger Demon's hands began to tremble violently!
The fur on his arms stood straight up, jolted by electricity!
"Roar!"
Seeing that something was wrong, the Tiger Demon let out a thunderous roar!
Every porcelain object in the main hall shattered on the spot, while the tables and chairs began to shake wildly!
Hearing this roar, the Liu Family Head, Liu Xuan,
felt as though his ears had been blasted deaf by that heaven-shaking bellow. He could not hear a thing!
Yet he acted as if he felt no pain at all, completely ignoring the agony in his ears.
Instead, his eyes remained fixed on that long saber!
"This! Isn't this the treasured saber I gave him back then? Is it him?"
Liu Xuan's eyes widened, and his heart filled with uncontrollable shock.
Hearing the tremendous roar, Su Xian could not help frowning. He used his Qi and Blood Power to seal his hearing!
Then he brought his saber down!
The crimson saber aura cleaved the enormous white tiger before him in two, and the roar came to a halt.
After killing the Tiger Demon, Su Xian did not stop.
Instead, he immediately headed for the Liu Family's main gate.
With two slashes, he killed the two Black Tiger Gang members guarding the Liu Family and dragged their bodies into the Liu Family compound.
Afterward, he went beneath the Liu Family's dungeon and killed two more Black Tiger Gang members.
Only then did he finally stop.
"Fortunately, the Liu Family is a long way from the Black Tiger Gang!"
"Otherwise, that tiger's roar might have reached the Gang Leader's ears!"
Su Xian looked at the night sky and shook his head slightly.
