'It believed it, it believed it! That silly demon really thinks I'm a pushover.'
Seeing this, Lu Guan coughed up another mouthful of foul blood in delight.
The coughing up of blood was done with great care, no more, no less, spraying precisely onto the front of his clothes, a bright red patch that was shocking to behold.
He even turned slightly to the side so that the other person could see the bloodstains clearly.
However, in reality, he could not be said to be on the verge of death; one could say he was perfectly fine.
[ Drink the Long River!]
This Mystery technique is constantly restoring his health.
The slap just now looked terrifying, but in reality, it only took a few breaths for the injured internal organs to return to their original positions, and the broken meridians to be reconnected.
At best, it's just to loosen his muscles and improve his blood circulation.
"Hehehe, after you die, I will extract your soul and transform it into a vengeful spirit, to accompany me at all times."
Second Master Yin's smile was incredibly ferocious, with saliva still dripping from his fangs, giving him the look of complete confidence.
"Go to hell!"
However, Lu Guan suddenly declared loudly, "We cultivators would rather die than bend! Even if it means death, I will make sure you suffer!"
His voice was firm and resolute, filled with righteous indignation; if any uninformed bystanders were present, they would likely be moved to tears on the spot.
What a tough guy!
The next second, in Second Master Yin's eyes, Lu Guan miraculously got up again, trembling.
His face was resolute, and there was still blood at the corner of his mouth; he looked like a loyal and brave man ready to die.
The tiger's head swayed slightly.
"It's just a death throes."
After all, given the opponent's miserable state, they clearly lacked the strength to fight back.
Even the Divine Thought of Yin Jing, which was attached to Second Master Yin, thought so.
Its voice rang in Second Master Yin's mind again, its tone impatient. "Stop wasting time talking to this brat, kill him quickly and go support your elder brother."
Upon hearing this, Second Master Yin frowned slightly.
The eldest brother is the one with the highest cultivation level among all the mountain lords. His demonic body is extremely powerful, comparable to the Tenth Heaven of the Inner Landscape.
Unlike his offspring, who could become food for their father at any moment, the eldest brother was the heir to the Ailao Mountain appointed by their father.
The future Great Demon King of the Divine Treasury Realm.
However, the opponent that the eldest brother will face in the Heaven and Earth Chessboard will definitely be at the same level of the Tenth Heaven of the Inner Landscape.
Such practitioners who have reached perfection in the path of Inner Landscape are far beyond my ability to deal with.
Someone could easily crush it with a single finger; what could it possibly do up there? Cheer for its older brother?
So when it heard Yin Jing instruct it to finish off the enemy and go to support its older brother, its first reaction was to resist.
'Damn old bastard, what level am I at? What level is my brother at? Isn't this sending me to my death?'
Of course, it didn't even dare to let the thought arise; it could only forcefully suppress it in its heart.
After all, his father's Divine Thought was currently on him.
At this moment, it desperately hoped that Lu Guan could hold on a little longer so that it could free up its body later.
If it weren't for Yin Jing keeping an eye on things, it might have even considered fixing the match.
Concealing a hint of displeasure in his eyes, Second Master Yin raised his enormous tiger paw and slammed it down.
"BOOM!!!"
The next second--
Second Master Yin's eyes widened. "Blocked it?"
In his mind, Yin Jing's angry voice echoed, "You bastard, second brother, are you throwing the match, putting on a show for me?"
"It's just asking you to go support your older brother, you're acting like it's your life."
Second Master Yin quickly explained, "Father, you misunderstand! This boy is strange; that punch was powerful. He must have used some desperate method."
"Father, as you know, the human race possesses wondrous Divine Ability abilities, many of which are commendable, including some desperate measures taken in dire situations."
"In my opinion, this is exactly the case."
After hearing Second Master Yin's explanation, Yin Jing's voice softened slightly, but his tone remained doubtful. "Regardless, kill him quickly."
"Yes, yes."
Upon hearing this, Second Master Yin sighed deeply and no longer held back, gathering the energy of heaven and earth into his palm.
It uses its superior level of power to forcefully suppress people, using brute force to overcome skill; with one slap, it will crush you into mincemeat no matter what desperate measures you take.
To its surprise, even after going all out, its opponent remained evenly matched.
He looked like he was about to collapse, but every punch he threw was heavy and powerful!
What's going on?
"Second brother, you're just acting!"
Second Master Yin no longer cared about Yin Jing's angry rebuke in his mind; a layer of cold sweat instantly broke out on his back.
There's something wrong with this person!
But then Lu Guan let out a sinister grin and unleashed another powerful punch!
With dragons and elephants at his side and the Five Sacred Mountains atop his head, the roar of dragons and the howling of elephants could be faintly heard amidst the whistling wind of his fist. The phantom images of the five mountains were layered on the surface of his fist, creating a kind of pure numerical beauty.
In a mere instant, it pierced through Second Master Yin's tiger paw, and with undiminished force, sent him flying.
Its massive tiger body tumbled twice in the air before crashing to the ground with a loud thud.
"Ah! I can't take it anymore."
After delivering that punch, Lu Guan's face turned pale, and he staggered and fell to the ground, clearly not long for this world.
The way one falls to the ground is also very particular.
He was lying on his side, one hand still trembling as it reached forward, as if trying to grab something, or as if he had exhausted himself and couldn't even pull his hand back.
Not far away, Second Master Yin got up again, his expression a mixture of emotions.
'Could it be that I was just fooling my father... that what he said was true, and that this person really has some kind of desperate method?'
With that thought in mind, it carefully moved forward in the gray fog. When Lu Guan reappeared in front of it and saw his exhausted and miserable appearance, it breathed a sigh of relief.
'That's a desperate tactic, but thankfully we shouldn't use it too often; he's doomed.'
However, just as Second Master Yin approached Lu Guan again, the seemingly dying Lu Guan suddenly regained his brilliance.
"Monster! We cultivators of the Great Li only die standing, never live kneeling! Kill!"
Second Master Yin was startled.
'Again?'
"BOOM!!!"
Another punch was thrown, but Second Master Yin clearly felt that this punch was not as powerful as the previous one.
After all, it flew back less than three meters this time, and you could still clearly see Lu Guan groaning as he fell to the ground after delivering a punch.
'It must be exhausted, like a lamp running out of oil.'
'Fine, so what if I take a few more punches? It'll just buy me time to go help my brother.'
Second Master Yin's eyes darted around, and this time it took him a little longer to get up again. He lay on the ground and pretended to groan a couple of times, then shook each of his four legs.
Upon seeing this, Lu Guan's eyes flashed with surprise.
'This tiger demon is so easily beaten?'
'I clearly released the fish, yet the other person is almost dying?'
'No, that's not right...'
Lu Guan suddenly realized--
Could this tiger demon be putting on an act for Yin Jing, just like I am?
In other words, it's also fixing matches!
After all, he was only at the Inner Landscape Fourth Heaven, so it was easy to deal with him. There was no need to deal with a cultivator of the same level after dealing with himself.
That's so dangerous!
What if we run into a tough opponent? Wouldn't that be suicide?
If he were Second Master Yin, he would also be dawdling here.
Thinking of this, Lu Guan couldn't help but curse inwardly:
'That lazy, cunning demon!'
