"Imprisonment!"

With a loud shout from Shen Ge, Fire Tiger's movements paused for a moment. Shen Ge seized this opportunity and swiftly thrust out a sword. The black and white sword light pierced through the pillar of fire and slashed forward.

However, the Fire Tiger was stronger than Shen Ge and was also Demon Beast, so this slight pause was not fatal to it at all.

The Fire Tiger raised its left forepaw and slammed it down. The black and white sword light that was approaching its body stopped. As the flames fell, the Fire Tiger was forced back a distance before pressing down with its left forepaw, shattering the black and white sword light.

Shen Ge, who was approaching to find a chance to use his phone, glanced at this scene and his eyes flickered. As expected of Demon Beast, its physical strength was terrifying. His strongest attack was actually shattered by its claws, and it only caused a small wound.

The Fire Tiger looked at its blood-stained claws, remained silent for a moment, and then suddenly let out a loud Hu Xiao, which forced Shen Ge to activate the Golden Body Incantation to protect himself.

Seeing those blood-red eyes burning with flames, Shen Ge knew that the Fire Tiger had been provoked and would soon face its frenzied revenge.

Sure enough, just as he thought of this, the Fire Tiger lightly leaped across hundreds of meters and appeared above Shen Ge's head, its paws, larger than a person, slamming down.

Shen Ge frowned but didn't dodge. With the Mountain and River Cauldron, Sword Yi, and Golden Body Incantation as his three lines of defense, he couldn't possibly get hurt. Rather than dodging, he might as well seize the opportunity to attack its relatively soft abdomen.

Shen Ge Morning Longing his sword, sending a soaring Sword Qi straight towards the Fire Tiger's abdomen. Although the flames provided some protection, it was far from enough to stop the attack.

The claws slammed into the Mountain and River Cauldron, and after a clang of metal against metal, Shen Ge was slammed into the ground, but he was unharmed.

The Fire Tiger roared, its wound on its abdomen making it even more ferocious. It suddenly pressed down on the Mountain and River Cauldron, opened its mouth and spat out a pillar of fire that lasted for the time it takes to burn an incense stick. The soil and rocks around Shen Ge all turned into lava, but Shen Ge was still unharmed.

Taking advantage of the moment when the Fire Tiger paused, Shen Ge suddenly urged the Mountain and River Cauldron to enlarge, instantly pushing it away.

Then Shen Ge leaped out of the lava field and controlled the Mountain and River Cauldron, which had grown to the size of a small mountain, to smash it towards the Fire Tiger.

One, two, three...

Being Demon Beast, the Fire Tiger was pushed back every time. Shen Ge smashed it ten times, and the attack, powerful enough to destroy a small mountain, barely managed to break the Fire Tiger's left forelimb.

"As expected of a tiger-type Demon Beast, its bones are damn hard." Shen Ge muttered before smashing it down again.

This time, Fire Tiger chickened out; instead of taking the hit head-on, it jumped to the side.

"Come on, keep pushing! What are you afraid of?"

Shen Ge smashed with increasing vigor, and the Fire Tiger could only keep dodging in this small space, only taking the hits head-on when it really couldn't avoid them anymore.

Half an incense stick later, the flames around the Fire Tiger weakened, which made it possible for the sword light emitted by the Sword Light Formation to harm it.

In less than the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, Fire Tiger's entire body was covered in wounds. Although none of them were fatal, they still filled it with rage and fear.

This monkey can kill it!

The Fire Tiger grew increasingly agitated and began charging at the formation, again and again, each time more ferocious than the last. Sometimes, even when attacked, it chose not to defend itself but continued to attack the formation.

Seeing that the formation was shaking more and more violently and even developing cracks, Shen Ge knew he couldn't wait any longer. Although the Fire Tiger would die anyway even if the formation was broken, it would still be troublesome and uncertain.

Shen Ge retrieved the Mountain and River Cauldron, then rapidly formed hand Hand Seals, and a Yin-Yang Millstone slowly appeared in the air.

"Fall!"

The Yin-Yang Millstone descended, its terrifying aura instantly immobilizing the Fire Tiger. However, the annihilating energy failed to harm it, and it continued to struggle.

Seizing the opportunity, Shen Ge, carrying Morning Longing, raised his hand and thrust out his sword. A black sword light shot into the Fire Tiger's mouth and emerged from the back of its neck.

Normally, such an injury wouldn't be a big deal for Demon Beast of Fire Tiger's level, but now that it's been suppressed by the Yin-Yang Diagram, the annihilating energy has been unable to affect it. However, with this wound, all the annihilating energy is now drilling into it.

Fire Tiger let out a mournful roar, its eyes filled with despair; death was imminent.

Shen Ge quickly stepped forward and used his sword to sever its head, stopping the Yin-Yang Diagram. This Fire Tiger's body was a valuable item; it couldn't be completely obliterated.

After carefully collecting the body, Shen Ge glanced at the nearly collapsed formation and reluctantly put it away.

"I've only used it a few times, how come it can't be used properly?"

Shaking his head, Shen Ge flew into the sky, his Divine Sense suddenly probing out, and everything within a radius of thirty miles appeared in his mind.

After moving around a few times and observing for a while, Shen Ge finally confirmed that he had found the right place; this was indeed the island he was looking for.

"Looks like my sense of direction is pretty good." Shen Ge chuckled, then his figure flickered and he appeared in a cave.

The cave was not only damp and dark, but also had a putrid smell. Shen Ge waved his hand to dispel the smell, and then looked at the array base deep inside the cave.

"A fixed-point teleportation array? It's amazing that your Ji Household could come up with such a terrible idea as to build a teleportation array in such a godforsaken place." Shen Ge complained before flashing to the teleportation array. After examining it carefully, he found that the array base was still intact, undamaged, and still usable.

"This kind of fixed-point teleportation array doesn't travel very far, probably no more than 200,000 li. But if it's another 200,000 li Outer Sea, the scene there... tsk tsk... I can't even imagine." Thinking of this Shen Ge frowned, "There should be a return array over there, right?"

If there's only the past and no return, that would be a huge problem. Not to mention the Outer Sea 200,000 miles away, even the Outer Sea 70,000 to 80,000 miles away is not a place a Middle Golden Core Stage cultivator like him can easily navigate. The Demon Beast there could tear him to pieces in no time, and there might even be fourth-tier Demon Beast everywhere.

But since he's already here, it wouldn't be right not to go. After all, there's likely a Sword Bamboo there. With those Sword Bamboo, he can create a sword formation. And with a sword formation, he wouldn't need to run at all, just like those ten people who were chasing him at the beginning. He could just sweep them all away.

After hesitating for a moment, Shen Ge gritted his teeth and said, "If there really isn't a teleportation array to return, I'll just stay there and cultivate until I reach the Golden Core Peak, then slowly work my way back."

After making up his mind, Shen Ge placed the already damaged Sword Light Formation around the teleportation array, and then began to fill the teleportation array with Spirit Stone.

After dropping five thousand Spirit Stone, the teleportation array emitted a burst of white light. Shen Ge stepped onto it, and as the white light grew stronger, it flashed and Shen Ge disappeared from the array.
