Black Tiger
"Who are you?"
Lu Ze had just entered the camp.
The powerful figures in the camp sensed the unusual sounds from outside and emerged one after another. Soon, they discovered Lu Ze.
However, Lu Ze evidently had no intention of wasting words with them. As soon as someone appeared, he directly unleashed the Flowing Wind Sword Shadow, killing them instantly!
The Flowing Wind Sword Shadow was a high-tier martial skill with tremendous killing power. Despite Lu Ze's cultivation only being at the Innate Realm, the released power was enough to instantly defeat any cultivator below the Seventh Stage of the Innate Realm.
Soon, the entire camp was filled with the rich scent of blood, and the blood on the ground formed a small river.
"Wow, what a strong smell of blood. What are those guys outside doing?"
Inside the camp, the Black Tiger Gang's leader, Black Tiger, who was previously flirting with a woman in the brothel, noticed the smell of blood and his expression changed slightly.
After slapping the woman on top of him to death with one palm, he put on a black garment and hurriedly walked out.
Black Tiger had a robust body with bulging muscles, exuding explosive strength. At a glance, he looked like a mighty and unparalleled tiger.
But when he came outside, he stood still in his tracks.
The previously lively Black Tiger Gang camp was now eerily silent, like a hellish landscape—
Corpses were strewn everywhere, blood formed rivers, and severed limbs were scattered around!
In this hellish world, a handsome young man in white stood amidst the blood.
His entire body was untainted by bloodstains, only his chest slightly rising and falling, absorbing and exhaling spiritual energy to recover!
"Who are you, and why did you come to my Black Tiger Gang to kill people?" Black Tiger, looking at Lu Ze standing in the pool of blood, had an extremely gloomy expression.
This youth, with a cultivation level only at the First Stage of Innate Realm, for some unknown reason, triggered a sense of crisis in Black Tiger.
"Roar!"
Without waiting for Lu Ze to respond, Black Tiger immediately launched an attack.
He wanted to take advantage of Lu Ze catching his breath to quickly kill him!
In an instant, Black Tiger, like a gust of wind, swept in front of Lu Ze. His fist was like thunder, smashing towards Lu Ze.
Although Lu Ze was adjusting his breath, his focus did not waver for a moment.
Sensing the Black Tiger approaching, a glint of cold light flashed in Lu Ze's eyes. He immediately executed the Dragon Scale Step to evade.
Like a shifting shadow, he appeared behind Black Tiger in an instant, delivering a punch.
Seeing Lu Ze disappear into thin air, Black Tiger's eyes flashed with surprise.
Suddenly feeling a gust of wind behind him, he sensed a terrifying force approaching from behind.
His expression changed, quickly turned around to meet the incoming punch. The fist brought a burst of aura, shaking the surrounding air into splatters.
Boom!
Their fists collided, sparking dazzling flashes.
Black Tiger only felt a powerful shockwave transmitting through his arm, causing a slight numbness.
"How is this possible?"
Black Tiger's face slightly changed. His strength had reached the peak of the Innate Realm Eighth Stage, yet he couldn't handle an Innate Realm First Stage cultivator.
Lu Ze's expression also changed. After cultivating the "Eternal Creation Scripture" and undergoing the baptism of the Falling Sky River, his physical body became extremely robust. He was confident in competing against a cultivator at the Innate Realm Ninth Stage.
However, his punch, condensed with all his strength, was easily blocked by Black Tiger, which truly shocked him.
"It seems I've been too complacent these past two days!"
Lu Ze clenched his slightly numb fist, silently contemplating. Since cultivating the "Eternal Creation Scripture" yesterday, his strength had improved dramatically, and he had become somewhat arrogant.
"Indeed, you've got some skills, you little brat. However, my strength is far beyond to those you've killed earlier!"
Black Tiger also put away his internal disdain, assumed a good stance, and prepared to kill Lu Ze with his full strength.
"Perfect, I'm also up for it!"
Lu Ze's blood boiled, and he spoke with a resolute fighting spirit.
"Bang!"
As soon as they spoke, they quickly engaged in battle.
Both sides fought fiercely, fists and feet colliding, each refusing to give way. The entire camp was filled with the afterimages of their battles.
"Boom! Boom! Boom! "
Waves of violent qi, centered around the two, swept across the entire camp, raising clouds of sand and dust.
After a while, the buildings around them had been shattered by the aftermath of their battle, turning into ruins.
"Interesting, this kid seems to have cultivated a decent body movement technique and body-refining method. His physique is unexpectedly strong. But no matter how strong his body movement physique are, he's only at the Innate Realm First Stage!"
After a fierce battle, Black Tiger gradually figured out Lu Ze's tactics.
His eyes were icy, and a smirk appeared at the corner of his mouth. He unleashed his ultimate move:
"Earth-level martial art, Devil Tiger Devouring Fist!"
In an instant, a boundless aura of malevolence and blood enveloped Black Tiger's majestic figure, forming a three-meter-tall black devil tiger.
The devil tiger roared, exuding a terrifying breath that seemed to swallow mountains and rivers, suppressing the entire surroundings.
"Go!"
Black Tiger roared, clapping his palms fiercely towards Lu Ze.
Black Tiger's roar sent out a powerful aura, causing ripples in the space, shaking the mountains and forests, as if doomsday had arrived.
Upon seeing this, Lu Ze was completely surprised. He had never expected that Black Tiger had mastered an Earth-level martial art.
But after a moment of astonishment, he steadied his mind. He took out the spirit sword that Qi Ming had given him not long ago and activated the Flowing Wind Sword Shadow technique.
Powerful sword intent emanated from him, transforming into strands of gentle wind that wrapped around the blade of the spirit sword.
"Flowing Wind Sword Shadow!"
Lu Ze murmured, swinging his arms. The continuous Flowing Wind Sword Shadow covered the entire spirit sword, forming a giant blade that slashed toward the devil tiger.
The devil tiger roared, its massive fangs emitting an extremely cold aura, biting towards Lu Ze.
In the blink of an eye, Black Tiger collided with the massive blade!
"Boom!"
A tremendous explosion resounded, echoing throughout the entire camp.
Violent waves of qi rolled, lifting clouds of dust.
Within the dust, painful screams could be heard.
Under the full force of Lu Ze's sword strike, Black Tiger's figure exploded with a "bang".
The sky was filled with blood, and a powerful shockwave swept in all directions.
Wherever it passed, whether it was rocks or wood, everything was blown away by the raging wind.
"What?"
Black Tiger, realizing that his strongest attack had been broken, showed a surprised expression. He had never expected Lu Ze to hide such a powerful move.
"Whoosh!"
Before he could recover from his astonishment, a sword blade struck, carrying an unstoppable force, landing on his chest.
For a moment, Black Tiger felt as if the world was spinning, and his entire body was heavily lifted off the ground.
"Is it over?"
Before long, the dust settled, and the blood mist dissipated. Lu Ze stood on the ground, holding the spirit sword. He desperately circulated the "Eternal Creation Scripture" to restore his cultivation. As he looked at the blood-soaked Black Tiger lying on the ground, he couldn't help but reveal a relieved smile.
Black Tiger's strength was far too powerful, completely beyond his expectations. Fortunately, he had perfected the Flowing Wind Sword Shadow technique earlier, and he also had Qi Ming's spirit sword assisting him, otherwise, it would have been really dangerous!
"Hahaha! Hahaha! Hahaha!"
However, just as Lu Ze's mind relaxed, a hearty laughter suddenly echoed. Hearing this laughter, Lu Ze's mind tightened instantly, his pupils slightly contracting, looking incredulously at the source of the sound.
To his surprise, Black Tiger, who had been "killed" by his sword, was standing still with a smug smile on his face.
"What's going on? I used all my strength! It should have been more than enough to kill an Early Innate Realm cultivator!"
Watching Black Tiger rise from the ground, Lu Ze was filled with shock. The sword strike he used earlier was a combination of the Flowing Wind Sword Shadow, a Heaven-Grade intermediate martial art, and the assistance of the spirit sword. Even if his cultivation was lower and the Earth-level martial art weakened its power, it should have been more than sufficient to kill an Innate Realm cultivator at the Early Eighth Level.
How could Black Tiger still be alive?
