A Dependable Dipping Sauce

"Your Majesty, instead of attacking the fourth entrance, we're going to ambush the third. Will the young master blame us when he finds out?" Black Wind Leopard asked in a low voice.

The Scarlet Flame Tiger glanced at it sideways. "Third Brother told me to launch a feint attack at the fourth entrance to draw all the humans' attention. But Third Brother is so narrow-minded."

Black Wind Leopard dared not respond, only listening with his head down.

"Humans are definitely on alert at the fourth entrance."

"How many lesser demons would die if we attacked? It's a losing proposition; I won't do it."

"But what if the young master blames us..."

What do you know?

The Scarlet Flame Tiger glanced at the Black Wind Leopard, then licked its lips.

"Now all the demons are attacking the fourth entrance. Even if they capture it, how much of the blood sacrifice will they get?"

"Going to the third entrance is different."

"Once the fourth entrance is attacked, the humans at the other entrances will definitely not sit idly by and will all rush to provide support."

"By then, the third entrance will be undefended."

"We'll seize the opportunity and take it without lifting a finger. The credit will be ours alone, and the spoils will be ours alone."

"Tell me, is this deal worthwhile?"

The Scarlet Flame Tiger grew increasingly smug as it spoke, its tail swaying slowly behind it, striking the tree trunk and causing the withered leaves on the branches to fall in a rustling sound.

It seemed to already see the ground covered in fresh blood and gore after the third entrance had been trampled down, ready for it to choose and eat as it pleased.

"Your Majesty is wise!"

Black Wind Leopard immediately put on a fawning smile, bowed, and stepped forward.

"Your Majesty truly lives up to his reputation as the young master's trusted advisor; your insight and strategy far Non-Self can match!"

The Scarlet Flame Tiger felt very comfortable from being flattered and was about to say a few more words when the Black Wind Leopard suddenly stopped in its tracks.

Its erect ears turned forward, and its expression changed.

"Your Majesty, there are people ahead."

The Scarlet Flame Tiger followed its gaze.

Deep in the dense forest, a black figure was skimming along the ground at incredible speed.

"Free food has come to our doorstep!"

The Scarlet Flame Tiger didn't even stop walking; it casually raised its paw.

"My men, seize him for me!"

At this moment, Lu Feng, who was rushing forward at all times, had already spotted the group of demonic beasts.

More than two thousand, a dark, dense mass.

The fourth-tier Scarlet Flame Tiger was accompanied by eight third-tier demonic beasts, including leopard demons, monkey demons, and python demons.

Further on, the entire forest path was covered with a dense array of first and second-tier demonic beasts.

Lu Feng originally wanted to avoid it.

His immediate priority is to support the fourth entrance; there's no need to get entangled with such a large group of monsters halfway through.

But when his gaze swept over the direction the herd was moving, he suddenly stopped.

The group of demonic beasts surged towards the third entrance.

If left unattended, these monsters will rush into the third entrance as soon as he leaves.

Then what's the point of him supporting the fourth entrance?

Lu Feng landed in a relatively open clearing in the woods.

He had barely steadied himself when the Black Wind Leopard, leading dozens of first and second-tier demonic beasts, surrounded him from all four sides.

"Humans, how dare you! You dare to stand in our way all by yourself."

Black Wind Leopard stepped forward and spoke in a sinister tone.

It glanced back at the Scarlet Flame Tiger, and seeing the Tiger King nod slightly, it suddenly raised its front paw and pointed at Lu Feng.

"Go! The King wants him alive!"

Dozens of demonic beasts pounced at the same time.

Some of them darted out from behind the trees, while others sprang up from the ground and attacked Lu Feng.

Lu Feng gripped the Ink-Sunken Saber with his right hand, and his True Essence surged from his dantian, flowing into the blade along his meridians.

The Ink-Sunken Saber emitted a deep hum, and a faint black halo appeared around its blade.

Lu Feng swept his blade horizontally, without any fancy movements. He simply swung the blade horizontally, using the weight of the Ink-Sunken Saber itself and the explosive force of his True Essence to draw a silver-black arc in mid-air.

The wolf demons at the forefront were cut in half at the waist, their upper bodies flying far away while their lower bodies remained in a forward-leaning posture.

The monkey and pig demons that followed fared no better; some had their heads chopped off, while others had their chests ripped open by the blade's energy.

[Ding! Successfully slayed a Tier 2 wolf demon, gaining 10,000 Demon Points;]

[Ding! Successfully slayed a Tier 1 boar demon, gaining 1000 Demon Points;]

[Ding! Successfully defeated a Tier 2 Monkey Demon, gaining 10,000 Demon Points;]

The system notification sounds came in a continuous stream.

Lu Feng didn't even look at them; his gaze pierced through the blood mist and the fallen beasts, fixed on the Scarlet Flame Tiger at the rear of the group.

"Grandmaster!"

Black Wind Leopard's expression changed drastically.

It hadn't expected that the human blocking its way would actually possess the cultivation level of Grandmaster.

The power of that last strike was more than one level stronger than any martial artist at the Hua Jin it had ever seen.

It instinctively took half a step back and turned to look at the Scarlet Flame Tiger.

The Scarlet Flame Tiger did not retreat; instead, it took a step forward, its mouth slowly opening, with traces of blood still clinging to its teeth from its previous meal.

"That's interesting."

It uttered a low murmur, then pushed off with its limbs, its massive body lunging towards Lu Feng.

The Black Wind Leopard followed closely behind, and eight third-tier demonic beasts also flanked from both sides. After a brief period of chaos, the demonic beast horde regrouped and surrounded them from all sides.

Lu Feng did not underestimate his opponent. He activated the Immeasurable Golden Body Art, and a layer of light golden light rose around his body.

The Scarlet Flame Tiger rushed forward, its two front paws completely transformed into tiger claws, the tips glowing with dark red flames as it stabbed towards Lu Feng's chest.

Lu Feng dodged to the side.

Using the momentum from his sidestep, Ink-Sunken Saber swept the blade 360 degrees, cutting down all the monsters that surged forward again.

Immediately afterwards, he slowed his pace, gripped the knife with both hands, and raised the blade upwards.

Nine Extremes Heaven-Breaking Slash.

A powerful, mountain-like Saber Force suddenly erupted from the blade.

That kind of momentum isn't power, it's more like weight.

As soon as it appeared, the fallen leaves were pressed flat against the ground, and even the attacking monsters suddenly stopped moving, as if they had been pressed to the spot by an invisible hand.

The Scarlet Flame Tiger was the first to be attacked.

Its expression changed drastically, and it tried to dodge, but the Saber Force of the blade locked down all its escape routes.

It could only roar once, crossing its claws to protect itself, and pushing its demonic power to the limit, condensing a dark red light shield in front of it.

"Laugh!"

The blade fell.

The dark red flame shield was torn apart like paper, and the Saber Force plunged straight in.

The Scarlet Flame Tiger's massive body was split in two from its head to its crotch.

The two halves of the tiger's body crashed to the sides, kicking up a cloud of dust and fallen leaves.

[Ding! Successfully slayed a fourth-tier Scarlet Flame Tiger, gaining 1 million Demon Points;]

Lu Feng sheathed his sword and stood there.

With the death of the Scarlet Flame Tiger, the remaining demonic beasts instantly lost their composure.

The first and second-tier demons began to growl uneasily, shifting their feet back and forth, their fierce glint turning into hesitation.

Even the eight third-tier demonic beasts stopped their attack, looked at each other, and none of them stepped forward.

Lu Feng didn't give them time to hesitate.

He drew his sword again and charged into the horde of beasts.

Wherever the blade flashed, hordes of demonic beasts fell.

System notifications rang in his mind.
