The evening breeze in the forest was bleak, and the remaining blood was soaked in the thick rotten leaves. The rich smell of blood mixed with the fishy smell of vegetation slowly spread through the mountains and forests.
Lin Qing stood up with the knife put away. The blood drops on the blade slowly dripped down the blade and hit the pool of blood on the ground, causing tiny blood splashes. The pursuit team led by Fourth-Tier Martial Artist just now was all dead.
After dealing with the pursuers and searching, Lin Qing did not stay where he was, but walked back the way he came. He planned to take the initiative to find those who were chasing him.
If he continued to go deeper or left from other directions, the miserable state of this team would be discovered by others, and he was afraid that those people would give up the pursuit after seeing it.
As the first pursuit team arrived, the following teams also arrived one after another. But after walking for half an hour, he encountered the second team.
The configuration of the first team to arrive was indeed high. This team was still led by one Fourth-Tier Martial Artist, followed by six Third-Tier Martial Artist.
As soon as this group of people came out of the bushes, they saw Lin Qing coming towards them. Their eyes instantly burst out with fierce murderous intent, and without saying a word, they came around with knives.
It's a pity that Fourth-Tier Early Stage's cultivation is so weak that he is vulnerable to a blow in the eyes of Lin Qing, who has reached the highest level of skill.
There was no unnecessary struggle, the long sword was unsheathed, and the cold light flashed so fast that only an afterimage remained.
As soon as they met, Fourth-Tier Martial Artist, who was leading the team, didn't even have time to activate his own Blood-Qi River. A ferocious blood line opened on his neck, and his life was cut off.
As soon as the main force died, the remaining Third-Tier Martial Artist troops were in disarray. They all looked frightened and wanted to turn around and flee. However, in front of Lin Qing's movement skills, their fleeing seemed a bit ridiculous, and they were caught up and killed one by one by Lin Qing.
In a moment, all the second pursuers were killed.
Lin Qing had an expressionless face as he leaned over and searched everyone skillfully. He collected all the useful things and discarded the useless weapons and clothing. Then he picked up the knife again and moved forward, continuing to actively search for the next group of pursuers.
The killings have been continuous since then.
For a whole day and night, Lin Qing ran around in the mountains and forests, meeting one team and killing another.
The leaders of the first few batches of pursuers were all Fourth-Tier Early Stage, and their strength was barely sufficient. As time went by, the level of the pursuers who came later dropped significantly. Most of the leaders were only Third Tier, and they were all people who wanted to fish in troubled waters.
There is also a team, the leader is a young man, dressed in white, with a tall and straight posture, a condensed breath, and a bit of natural pride in his brows.
However, when Lin Qing easily killed the people he brought, he completely lost his previous arrogance and domineering attitude. He threw away the long knife in his hand and knelt down with a thump. His face was pale, and his tone was filled with extreme fear and pleading:
"Xie Chen, show mercy! I am a member of the Frost Crow Guild! The president is my father. As long as you spare my life, I, Frost Crow Guild, will be grateful."
Frost Crow Guild is not weak in strength, and the president is Mid-Fourth Tier. He thinks that Lin Qing will be afraid when he hears the name Frost Crow Guild.
It's a pity that Lin Qing had never heard of the Frost Crow Guild's name before this.
Since Lin Qing entered Demon Ember Guild, he has focused exclusively on <Fire-Fusing Heart Stance> and knows nothing about the various guild forces in the city.
Since the other party dares to chase him, he must be prepared to die.
He also found a copy of Fourth Tier Kung Fu from the man in white. Apparently he had just obtained it a while ago and had not yet fully mastered it, so he carried it with him so that he could study and study it in his free time.
After days of fighting, his Qi and Blood Realm was still full of energy and no trace of fatigue. He found an open space and was preparing to take stock of the harvest.
At this moment, there was another sound of footsteps in the jungle, and four figures pushed aside the branches and leaves and slowly walked out of the forest.
Lin Qing The hand holding the knife paused slightly, and a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes.
At the end of the line of sight, the four people from the Demon Ember Guild appeared -- Chu Lingxi, Shen Xingci, Song Shiye, and Su Lan.
All four of them were tired from the journey, their clothes were stained with forest dust, and their brows showed the fatigue of running around.
"Su Lan? Why are you here?" Lin Qing put away his knife and turned sideways and asked.
When Su Lan saw Lin Qing safe and sound, he breathed a long sigh of relief and walked forward quickly, with a bit of anger and fear in his tone:
"Of course I'm here to save you! Those people are so disgusting. They deliberately misled us and made us take many detours. Otherwise, we would have been here long ago!"
After she finished speaking, she looked Lin Qing up and down carefully. When she saw that his clothes were neat and tidy, his breathing was steady, and there was no trace of injury, she was completely relieved and asked softly:
"Are you really okay? I heard that many people were chasing you. We didn't even see many signs of fighting along the way. Are you hiding?"
Lin Qing shook his head slightly and said calmly, "It doesn't matter, it's all solved."
He didn't say much about how he actively intercepted and killed several groups of pursuing soldiers along the way. As for the corpses, of course they were still deep in the jungle, and they hadn't gone that far yet.
Seeing him, the few people didn't want to mention anything more. They just thought he was lucky and evaded pursuit by hiding all the way. They stopped asking questions and prepared to set off together to return to Wildgoose City.
But just as everyone turned around, a tiger roar suddenly exploded that shook the forest!
The roar was powerful and domineering, carrying a biting and vicious aura, causing leaves in the forest to rustle and fall, and birds to scatter in all directions.
Everyone's expressions suddenly froze, and they raised their heads suddenly following the sound, looking at a tall hill to the side.
On the top of the hill, a huge black beast silhouette was seen standing tall, condescendingly overlooking the people below.
It was a huge black tiger, nearly two feet long, with limbs as thick as ancient wood and iron pillars, and black hairs all over its body that stood up like steel needles, glowing with a cold metallic luster under the setting sun. A snow-white line on its forehead ran through the center of the eyebrows, resembling the Chinese character "", adding a bit of majesty to the king.
The most terrifying thing is its pair of beastly eyes, which are dark and deep, with extreme sternness and cruelty, as if they regard everyone under the mountain as ants and grass. The majestic power of the Qi and Blood Realm is like a long river, faintly vibrating around it, and the air is slightly distorted.
Blood-Qi River, Fourth-Tier Savage Beast Black-Patterned Mystic Tiger!
Chu Lingxi's whole body's Qi instantly tightened, solemnity and fear appeared in his eyes, and he shouted sternly without even the slightest hesitation:
"No! It's Fourth Tier Overlord-level tiger beast! You retreat immediately and leave here at full speed! I'll stop it!"
As soon as she finished speaking, she suddenly rushed forward, Qi and Blood Realm exploded all over her body, Hidden Dragon Ranking spread out all her strength, blocking the front of everyone.
Everyone was shocked at this moment, and their expressions all changed drastically.
Within the same level, it is difficult for human warriors to defeat ferocious beasts that thrive on fighting. Tiger beasts are also the overlord among ferocious beasts of the same level. They are fierce in killing, their fighting instincts are far beyond those of ordinary ferocious beasts, and their combat power is extremely terrifying.
What's more important is that the vast majority of young geniuses focus their cultivation energy on polishing their skills and improving their realm, and rarely work hard on martial arts.
Chu Lingxi has gone deep into the mountains to hunt ferocious beasts all year round, and his actual combat experience is far beyond that of the geniuses of his age, so he has firmly secured the third position of Hidden Dragon Ranking.
But even she had no chance of winning against an adult Fourth Tier tiger beast.
She stared intently at the giant tiger poised to attack on the hill, with fine cold sweat oozing out from her forehead, and the clothes on her back were already soaked with sweat. Her only extravagant hope was to use her own fighting power to hold off the ferocious beast for a moment, so as to buy enough time for the few people behind her to escape.
Just when Chu Lingxi was tensing up and preparing to fight to the death, a faint voice suddenly sounded behind him.
"I'll do it."
Lin Qing saw Chu Lingxi's nervousness and knew that she was unsure of how to deal with it, so she walked out of the crowd.
Before the people with astonished faces could say anything to stop him, he kicked the ground with the soles of his feet and rushed out like an arrow. The long knife in his hand dragged on the ground, making a harsh sound of metal friction, and rushed straight towards Black-Patterned Mystic Tiger!
"Xie Chen! Don't be impulsive!"
"Come back quickly! That's Fourth-Tier Savage Beast! You can't compete with it at all!"
Three rapid exclamations suddenly sounded behind them. Song Shiye, Su Lan, and Shen Xingci turned pale and their pupils shrank suddenly.
They came all the way, thinking that Lin Qing was lucky enough to escape pursuit, and had never seen his true combat power. In their eyes, at this moment, Xie Chen rushed towards the overlord beast Fourth Tier, which was no different from seeking death.
Chu Lingxi was also anxious, and was about to reach out to pull it, but saw Lin Qing already rushing dozens of feet away.
Black-Patterned Mystic Tiger was furious when he saw this scene. Not only did this mere ant not run away, but he even dared to charge towards it.
Its huge body suddenly jumped into the air, its heavy body brought about a howling wind, and several small trees around it were directly uprooted by this majestic wind.
The huge tiger claws were packed with huge force, and with an explosion that tore the air, they struck Lin Qing's head fiercely, fierce and domineering, trying to beat the person into a pulp with one blow!
Lin Qing's body suddenly fell back, and the howling wind swept past the tip of his nose, causing his hair to fly wildly. The next second, Lin Qing used the force of his forward thrust to sink his body, and quickly slid past Xuanhu's huge belly.
At the same time, he held the long sword high in his hand, and the bright sword light spread across the sky.
Tsk--!
The sharp blade instantly tore apart Black-Patterned Mystic Tiger's extremely tough hide, muscles and Tendons and Bones Realm!
A huge crack appeared from the neck to the lower abdomen, and warm animal blood spurted out, mixed with the internal organs and intestines, and fell to the ground.
Before the huge black tiger's body even hit the ground, its vitality was completely cut off.
The heavy tiger body crashed to the ground, kicking up dust all over the sky, its limbs twitched several times, and there was no movement at all.
One move.
In just a moment of confrontation, Fourth-Tier Savage Beast Tiger, who was fierce and dominant at the same level, was instantly killed by Lin Qing!
The strong wind gradually subsided, and the forest suddenly became dead.
The exclamations of the people behind him were still lingering in the air, but Battle was already over.
The four members of the guild froze on the spot, their eyes wide open, the panic on their faces disappeared, replaced by shock and disbelief, and their expressions were extremely weird.
They were full of worries just now, but in the blink of an eye, the Fourth Tier overlord beast, which made everyone fearful, died on the spot?
Song Shiye reacted the fastest and rushed to Lin Qing. He looked up and down at the black tiger corpse on the ground, and then looked at Lin Qing who was breathing calmly. His voice was filled with tremors and surprise that could not be concealed:
"Xie Chen... You, you have broken through Fourth Tier?!"
Don't blame him for guessing like this.
Summer Kingdom Martial arts does not have the ability to detect cultivation Secret Art. Warriors usually rely on the Qi and Blood Realm vision and Battle power to judge the opponent's level.
Facing Xuan Hu just now, Lin Qing didn't hold back at all. Blood-Qi River was surging around him, and his energy was powerful and powerful.
When everyone saw this scene, they naturally thought that Lin Qing had broken through to Fourth Tier.
Lin Qing's eyes flashed slightly when he heard this, but he did not deny it.
Should I tell them that I am just Third Tier, and that I have only just made a breakthrough?
Forget it, Third-Tier Martial Artist instantly killed Fourth-Tier Savage Beast, which is even more outrageous than breaking through Fourth Tier.
Seeing his acquiescence, everyone was even more shocked.
In the next three days, the few people did not go further into the forest and rested on the spot to deal with Xuanhu's body.
Three days later, morning dawned.
A group of people walked out of the jungle, carrying the huge and heavy body of Black-Patterned Mystic Tiger, and appeared outside the north gate of Wildgoose City.
The huge two-foot-long tiger corpse is extremely visually impactful. The black tiger body is covered with fine dust, and the remaining ferocious power still shocks people.
When the warriors coming and going from the north gate saw this, they stopped one after another, and the sounds of uproar came one after another.
"Oh my God! That's Demon Ember Guild's person!"
"What they brought out... is it Fourth-Tier Savage Beast Black-Patterned Mystic Tiger?"
"What an exaggeration! Such a big black tiger was actually hunted by them? Demon Ember Guild Is this another top expert?"
Countless exclamations and comments intertwined and spread throughout the city gate. Everyone's eyes were focused on the shocking Fourth Tier tiger corpse.
