Slaying the Tiger Demon with Life

Chen Xian's hearing was excellent, far better than Ding Chen and the others.

He could clearly hear Wang Yan's complaints from two hundred meters away.

"Brother Wang, stop running, let's fight back!"

Chen Xian rushed over quickly and said to Wang Yan.

Wang Yan's face immediately turned awkward, but since his complexion was like a ripe date, no one could tell if he was blushing or not.

"You already ran away, why are you coming back?" Wang Yan pretended to be speechless.

"Good brothers share hardships!"

Chen Xian licked his lips and charged towards the Tiger Demon, gripping his straight saber.

His words struck a chord with Wang Yan, Ding Chen, Qin Fei, and the others.

They had only known each other for three months, so their brotherhood...

"Ah!"

Just then, a scream echoed.

Everyone turned to see that the Tiger Demon had caught up to the last, slowest cook. Its palm, as big as a winnowing fan, swiped out, crushing the cook's head into pieces and sending his body flying five zhang to slam into a pine tree.

Seeing this, everyone's faces turned ashen.

Ding Chen stared at Chen Xian's resolute back and shouted, "Chen Xian, come back quickly, run!"

Run? What a joke!

Chen Xian thought to himself. As soon as he had rushed back, he had already leveled up his [Blood Flame Ox Demon Technique].

With 27 experience points added, he had advanced the [Blood Flame Ox Demon Technique] to the Minor Accomplishment stage.

His current [Realm] was also Minor Accomplishment in the Blood Moving Realm, with surging qi and blood, and his physical strength had reached the power of two cauldrons.

With just one Tiger Demon, if he didn't kill it now, when would he?

Bang!

Chen Xian charged forward, raising his straight saber and slashing at the ferocious Tiger Demon.

Upon seeing this, Ding Chen and the others stopped fleeing.

Turning to watch Chen Xian fight the Tiger Demon, the thirteen of them were filled with astonishment.

Chen Xian had actually managed to block the Tiger Demon?

"Good brothers share hardships!" Ding Chen's eyes flashed, and he also shouted, drawing his saber to help.

Seeing this, Wang Yan, Qin Fei, and the others did not hesitate.

They couldn't defeat the Tiger Demon, but since Chen Xian could hold it back, they could assist from the sidelines.

Bang!

The Tiger Demon's claws were tough and sharp, clashing head-on with Chen Xian's straight saber, sending sparks flying.

One swipe sent Chen Xian staggering back four or five meters.

Chen Xian's expression was solemn. He was now in the Minor Accomplishment stage of the Blood Moving Realm, with physical strength equivalent to two cauldrons, yet he could barely fend off the Tiger Demon.

This meant that this Tiger Demon was more powerful than the Wolf Demon from last time.

Of course, the Wolf Demon from last time was heavily injured; otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to kill it.

But this time, the Tiger Demon was completely unharmed, so its strength was naturally terrifying.

Ding Chen, who had just rushed forward, was sent flying by a swipe of the Tiger Demon's claw, spitting blood.

Then Wang Yan, Qin Fei, and the others suffered the same fate.

Chen Xian leaped up vigorously, soaring three meters high, and brought down the Great Tablet Smashing Hand towards the Tiger Demon's forehead.

Bang!

The Tiger Demon reacted nimbly. After swatting Wang Yan and the others away, it turned and clashed with Chen Xian.

Although it blocked Chen Xian's palm strike, it was still forced back three meters by the impact.

"Roar!"

The Tiger Demon let out a low growl, its blood-red demonic energy surging, and its aura intensified.

It flashed in front of Chen Xian and swiped with its claw.

Chen Xian, though flustered, did not lose his composure and blocked with his saber, but he was still sent flying by the Tiger Demon. A sweet sensation rose in his throat, and he spat out a mouthful of blood.

It's over!

I can't win!

Chen Xian retreated seven or eight meters, his expression extremely grave.

The Tiger Demon roared repeatedly and attacked Chen Xian fiercely.

Ding Chen and the others attacked the Tiger Demon in unison, but it was all in vain.

Even though the Tiger Demon was injured, it was only a superficial wound.

For the powerful Tiger Demon, it was not affected at all.

Looking at Ding Chen and the others who were sent flying backwards, spitting blood and looking dejected.

Chen Xian's expression was extremely grim; he had been too careless.

To be precise, killing a Lesser Demon-level Wolf Demon last time had made him mistakenly believe that Lesser Demon-level Demonic Beasts were easy to kill.

In reality, Lesser Demon-level Demons were divided into four realms: early, middle, late, and peak, with varying strengths.

Furthermore, different types of Demons, even with the same realm, had differences in strength.

It was like three adult wolves being unable to defeat one adult tiger.

This was the difference in strength between races.

Seeing the roaring Tiger Demon charging at him, Chen Xian didn't have time to think. He immediately called out to the panel: "Blood Flame Ox Demon Technique, sacrifice lifespan, ten years, quick!"

[You have sacrificed ten years of lifespan to upgrade the Blood Flame Ox Demon Technique to Great Accomplishment.]

[Realm: Blood Moving Great Accomplishment.]

[Lifespan: Nine years and seven months.]

Chen Xian was speechless. He had previously used 27 experience points to upgrade the Blood Flame Ox Demon Technique, achieving minor accomplishment in over two years.

However, achieving Great Accomplishment required ten years of his lifespan.

He had to go all out!

Chen Xian gritted his teeth: "Sacrifice another five years of lifespan!"

[You have sacrificed five years of lifespan to upgrade the Blood Flame Ox Demon Technique to Perfection.]

[Realm: Blood Moving Perfection.]

[Lifespan: Four years and seven months.]

Chen Xian felt a bitter ache in his heart.

Whether it was trying to earn more money in his previous life or wanting to become stronger in this life, he was exchanging his life for it.

Boom!

Blood flames erupted around Chen Xian, and black and red qi coiled around his body like flames.

This left Ding Chen and the others dumbfounded.

"Blood Moving Realm?"

Seeing the qi and blood condense into flames, soaring three meters above his head.

This wasn't just any Blood Moving Realm practitioner; he was at least in the late stage of the Blood Moving Realm.

Chen Xian had no mood to pay attention to their shocked expressions. He slashed at the slightly stunned Tiger Demon.

The Tiger Demon was indeed a bit surprised.

It had long noticed that Chen Xian was the strongest among these humans, but it hadn't expected him to be a Blood Moving Realm martial artist.

Seeing the black and red blood flames carrying intense heat, its tiger body trembled slightly.

Roar!

Seeing Chen Xian slash at it, it roared and charged forward, meeting the attack with a claw.

The next second, its tiger claw was severed by Chen Xian's blade, and blood spurted out.

The Tiger Demon cried out in pain and retreated repeatedly.

Ding Chen and the others widened their eyes, then one by one, they flipped up from the ground and attacked the Tiger Demon.

At this moment.

Chen Xian's heart was also burning with rage. To kill this Tiger Demon, he had sacrificed another fifteen years of his lifespan.

If he didn't kill it, the lifespan would have been sacrificed in vain.

Seeing the Tiger Demon trying to escape, Chen Xian held nothing back. He leaped over ten meters to block its path and slashed again.

As the Tiger Demon raised its arm, it was cut off by Chen Xian's blade, and half of its body was split open.

Blood splattered all over Ding Chen and the others.

Chen Xian was incredibly fierce, like a blood-soaked god of war. With three strikes, he severed the Tiger Demon's head, and a ferocious, pain-filled tiger head rolled before them.

[Sacrificed the soul of a Lesser Demon, gaining 221 experience points.]

Chen Xian held his blade with both hands, panting, as a line of text appeared before his eyes.

Seeing the experience points, he felt a sense of relief; it was worth sacrificing fifteen years of his lifespan.

With these experience points, he should be able to advance to the next major realm.

Once his realm improved, his lifespan might even recover.

Seeing everyone staring at him in stunned silence, Chen Xian didn't mind. He stopped circulating his technique, quickly retracted the blood flames around his body, and sheathed his straight blade.

Only when the Tiger Demon's corpse fell to the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust, did the crowd snap back to reality.

"Chen Xian, you're amazing!"

Wang Yan rushed up to Chen Xian, looking him up and down as if seeing him for the first time. "You're in the Blood Moving Realm, you're not even as strong as Old Zhao!"

At this moment, Ding Chen, Qin Fei, and others also walked over.

"Chen Xian, you've been hiding your strength quite well!" Ding Chen frowned slightly, staring directly at Chen Xian. He had reached the Blood Moving Realm, which meant he was supposed to be on the battlefield. Chen Xian had kept this hidden from everyone. What was his true objective?
