Bold Witch, Don’T Hurt My Husband

Chapter 39: Tiger Demon

In the northern border of Jiang Country, there is the Jiayuan Mountain Range.

At this moment, four figures are speeding through the mountains. Since none of them have reached the Gold Core stage, their main means of transportation is their legs.

Cliffs and steep cliffs are common in the mountains, and towering trees are everywhere. Ordinary people can't even climb up. This is not only true for their demonic sect, but also for most cultivation sects. That's why only those who have reached the Transcendence stage are allowed to leave the mountains.

Because if you haven't reached Transcendence, you might not be able to leave the sect.

Among the few people, Xia Fan has the highest cultivation level, so it is effortless for him to keep up with them. His mana and legs move swiftly and uncomfortably in the mountains.

This makes him feel a sense of freedom, as if the sea is wide and fish can leap, and the mountains are high and birds can fly. His mood is particularly cheerful.

"Swoosh!"

The four figures stand at a gorge in the mountains. Except for Xia Fan, the others do not show much excitement.

Seeing that the sun is gradually shifting, Zhong Yue couldn't help but say, "Let's take a break and hurry up to reach Azure Mountain Town before nightfall!"

The town she mentioned, Qingshan City, is the closest county town at the foot of the Jiayuan Mountain Range. Although the population is not large, at least they can replenish their supplies there.

And there are also many disciples of the demonic sect in Azure Mountain Town, but most of them have low cultivation levels and no hope of longevity. They have settled here and gradually become the public face of the demonic sect.

In addition, there are merchants coming and going, and many disciples who cannot cultivate the Qi Refining technique mostly practice here.

In theory, after reaching Transcendence, they can replenish their physical strength through meditation. However, they still cannot completely cultivate the Qi Refining technique. They are just not as greedy as Xia Fan when it comes to food.

Upon hearing this, everyone nodded. Zhong Yue and the other two quickly sat down to restore their mana, while Xia Fan silently walked to a piece of bluestone, opened his "Wuwa" and took a sip of mana potion. It must be said that it is an essential product for traveling.

Because there are outsiders present, Bai Yu has always maintained her gourd form. After all, she also knows that as a gourd demon, she is still very tempting to most people. In order to avoid causing trouble for her master, she has started to remain silent.

Feeling the recovery of his spiritual power, Xia Fan couldn't help but look around. They can't all meditate, someone has to stay on guard. After all, this is a mountain range, not as safe as their sect.

"Buzz!"

A vibration sounded, and Xia Fan turned around. His Cloud-Soaring Sword was floating behind him. Although it is not yet a divine sword, it already has a divine intent. As long as she doesn't want to, people below the Third Stage can't see her.

"Master, something is coming!" Bai Yu transmitted her voice from her waist.

Although she is not good at fighting, she still has her own cultivation level. She is like a big sister accompanying them.

Receiving the warning from the divine sword and "Wuwa", Xia Fan naturally doesn't dare to be negligent. He quickly reminded everyone, "Something is coming, be careful!"

Upon hearing this, the three immediately stood up and each touched their weapons. After all, they still have to be cautious outside.

After a while, everything around them remained the same. "Junior Brother, is there really something wrong? Are you just making it up?" Wang Lian looked puzzled.

To this, Ding Peng, who was beside him, frowned and stared at the surroundings.

"He didn't make it up!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a huge figure slowly appeared in front of the four of them. It was a white tiger.

With a height of nearly three meters, it was clearly a tiger demon.

The tiger slowly walked towards them, making no sound as it moved. It was an excellent hunter. Seeing that it had been discovered, it finally stopped in the distance.

"Roar~~"

A tiger's roar echoed through the mountains, accompanied by a strong stench.

Feeling the pressure brought by the fierce tiger, everyone realized that this was a tiger demon at the peak of its mortal transformation, and it seemed to be close to Core Formation. This made a few people feel a slight pressure.

Fortunately, there were four of them, and they all had secret techniques. Naturally, they wouldn't be too nervous. If there was only one person, besides Xia Fan, almost no one would be able to match it.

The Demon Sect was located in the Jieyuan Mountains, where there were many demons. However, since it was the headquarters of the Demon Sect, naturally there wouldn't be too powerful demons. They were mostly at the Third Realm, left behind mainly to provide training for the disciples.

"Younger Junior Brother, step back and stand behind me!"

Seeing this situation, Zhong Yue immediately stood in front of him. After all, in her opinion, Xia Fan was just a rookie who had just entered the mortal transformation stage a year ago. Normally, he must not have encountered such danger within the sect.

Wang Lian and Ding Peng didn't say anything either, after all, these were people brought by Zhong Yue.

Seeing this, Ding Peng stood in front of everyone with a knife. Although his cultivation was only at the Late Stage of the mortal transformation, his strength was not bad, so he naturally took on the main attack.

"I'll hold it back, you guys find a chance to kill it!"

After saying that, Ding Peng rushed forward with his knife, engaging in a battle with the tiger demon using two secret techniques: Giant Force and Berserk.

The Demon Sect was the easiest sect to overcome. When the cultivation levels were similar, the boost from secret techniques was significant. Although the tiger demon was powerful, it hadn't reached the Gold Core stage, so they could still fight it.

Seeing that Ding Peng had already taken action, Wang Lian immediately stood not far away, quickly forming seals with her hands. Soon, black spirit patterns appeared all over her body, and a dagger emitting a faint light appeared in her hand. It was obviously poisoned, and the next moment, her figure slowly disappeared.

"Younger Junior Brother, I'll help, you stay safe. This tiger demon doesn't pose a threat. The sooner we finish, the sooner we can leave the mountain!"

After saying that, Zhong Yue quickly took two steps forward, forming seals with both hands. Soon, the tiger demon was engulfed in a green ghost fire.

"Roar~~"

The tiger demon howled in pain, becoming somewhat agitated. Its claws pounced, forcing Ding Peng to retreat repeatedly. Just at this moment, a faint light flashed by, and a huge wound appeared on the tiger demon's waist, quickly turning black. Then, Wang Lian's figure slowly emerged.

"It's been poisoned, let's finish it off!"

In the end, before any Beast Race enters the Gold Core stage, most of them rely on their original form in battle, and they rarely use Divine Abilities, except for fox demons.

It can be seen that the cooperation between the three of them is quite tacit, obviously not the first time they have done this.

Actually, Xia Fan also wanted to help, but seeing the three of them gaining the upper hand so smoothly, he naturally didn't step forward.

The ferocious tiger demon, which seemed intimidating, was actually just a little brother in front of the group's onslaught. Xia Fan even thought about whether to make a sneak attack, but then he thought that it wouldn't be good if he accidentally delivered takeout to the other side.

In less than a moment, with a loud "bang," the huge body of the tiger demon fell heavily to the ground. Ding Peng quickly approached and slashed the tiger's neck with two strikes, quickly finishing it off.

"Younger Junior Brother, you have the secret technique of storing items. Put away the tiger's corpse, let's hurry and leave. The smell of blood is too strong!"

"Okay!"

Since he couldn't contribute to the battle, he might as well do some logistical work. Xia Fan waved his arm, and the huge tiger corpse on the ground instantly disappeared, being stored in his sleeve.

Although their mana hadn't fully recovered and they had just experienced a battle, the group didn't dare to stay and immediately left.

In the depths of the East Sea, a middle-aged man in a dragon-patterned robe was sitting in the Dragon Palace. Suddenly, a stream of light flashed by, and Zhu Hong extended his hand, revealing a letter inside.

"Brother Zhu, the time has come. Come quickly!"
