This caused joy to appear in Lu Chen's eyes. Right now, even though he hadn't fully entered the cave yet, the spiritual energy here was already several times richer than that of the Lingyun Sect. Lu Chen also believed that if he could cultivate here, then his cultivation would definitely advance.

Upon closer inspection, it could be seen that the white mist was actually formed from spirit energy. Furthermore, the wounds on the Tiger Slaughtering Bear's body were also rapidly healing in the spirit pond, and the spirit energy fluctuations on the Tiger Slaughtering Bear's body also faintly showed signs of breaking through.

Although the Tiger Kill Bear was still resting with its eyes closed, Lu Chen could feel its aura continuously rising, to the point that it looked like it was about to make a breakthrough.

"Master, be careful. That stupid bear was already at the peak of the seventh step at any time. This time it was heavily injured by you and the spirit energy in the spirit pond allowed it to use this opportunity to break through." Xiao Jin's voice sounded out in Lu Chen's mind.

When Lu Chen heard what Little Gold said, a trace of resolution appeared in his eyes as he looked at the Tiger Slaughtering Bear. He had originally planned to take advantage of the Tiger Slaughtering Bear's rest time to kill it, but now he couldn't wait for that time.

Lu Chen carefully looked at the Tiger Kill Bear and saw that the latter was still focused on healing itself, but did not notice him. He took out a few low grade spirit stones from his storage bag and threw them at the four corners of the spirit pond.

After finishing all this, Lu Chen raised his head and signaled Xiao Jin to cover up his presence and took out his Fire Cloud Sword, "Fire Sword Style 2, Fire Slash Sky." Lu Chen bellowed. Lu Chen brandished the Flaming Cloud Sword and waved it in the direction of the Tiger Slaughtering Bear. A stream of sword Qi formed from flames shot towards the Tiger Slaughtering Bear, leaving behind a deep burn mark wherever the sword Qi passed by. There were also some small stones on top of the cave that were brought down by the sword Qi.

Waking up from his stupor, the Tiger Massacre Bear looked at Lu Chen across from it. Just as it was about to say something, it felt a sense of danger and saw flames burning in front of its eyes. There was nowhere for it to dodge.

The Tiger Kill Bear crossed his arms in front of his head to block the flame's attack, while staring coldly at Lu Chen. Even though the Tiger Slaying Bear had resisted the corrosion of the flames, its body was still burnt by the flames. A hint of seriousness flashed through its eyes. With a low growl, the Tiger Kill Bear threw a punch towards the sword Qi formed by the flames.

Immediately, the tiger slaying bear's fist and the sword qi formed from flames came to a stalemate within the cave.

Suddenly, Lu Chen's pupils constricted and he retreated quickly. Just as Lu Chen stepped back, he heard a loud 'bang' and immediately, the entire cave began to shake violently. Cracks also appeared on the ground closest to the sword qi formed by the Tiger Kill Bear and the flames, baring their fangs sinisterly.

The place where the spirit pond was was located was completely calm despite the violent tremors. Only Lu Chen had seen a faint white light appear around the spirit pond when the explosion occurred. Although it disappeared very quickly, Lu Chen knew that it was something that the spirit pond protected itself.

"Dang." With a crisp sound, Lu Chen's body retreated a few steps back. Seeing the deep footprints on the ground, Lu Chen looked at the Murderous Tiger Bear in front of him with a grave expression.

"Human, I will definitely kill you." The tiger slaying bear glared at Lu Chen, whose eyes were filled with red. Lu Chen, who was not even at his waist yet.

"Hmph." "Flame Palm." Lu Chen ignored the killing intent of the Tiger Kill Bear and directly sent a palm strike towards the bear, expressing his determination.

Sensing the high temperature on Lu Chen's palms, a serious look flashed across his eyes, but he still relied on his tough body to directly clash with Lu Chen's Flame Palm.

BOOM! The ground around the two of them shook from the collision of their palms, causing another crack to appear on the ground. It seemed that if the ground were to crack again, it would collapse.

Not long after the deadlock, Lu Chen's figure was pushed back until he was about five meters away from the Tiger Kill Bear. The tip of Lu Chen's feet touched the ground, and he felt a sweet taste in his mouth as he looked at the Tiger Kill Bear with a grave expression.

As for the Tiger Massacre Bear, it did not look any better than Lu Chen. The fur on its palms had all been burnt away in the exchange between Lu Chen and himself, revealing the black skin underneath. The Tiger Massacring Bear looked at its palms, and the corners of its eyes twitched as it glared fiercely at Lu Chen. The tiger slaying bear looked at his ribs in pain, while the killing intent in his eyes towards Lu Chen intensified.

"Master, be careful. This is the innate ability of the Tigerslayer Bears. They can cast spells on any of their ribs and transform them into a clone of their own. This clone has the same cultivation level as the main body." Xiao Jin's voice came from within Lu Chen's heart.

"If that's the case, wouldn't that mean the Tiger Kill Bear would be invincible?" The corners of Lu Chen's mouth twitched as he asked.

"Actually, that's not the case either. The tiger slaying bear needs a price to do this, and that is if it doesn't create a clone, then the rib bone will break and the clone will have a time limit. At the same time, the next time it uses this ability, it will be ten years later." Xiao Jin said.

Only then did Lu Chen heave a sigh of relief. After all, it was already difficult enough for him to deal with a Tiger Kill Bear.

At the same time, the Tiger Massacring Bear also started to take action. The red light in its eyes grew brighter as it spat out a drop of its blood essence onto the rib in its hand. The rib immediately glowed with a brilliant red light.

Lu Chen knew that he could no longer hesitate and directly slashed his sword at the Tiger Kill Bear, wanting to interrupt its movements.

Seeing Lu Chen rush over, the Tiger Kill Bear held the rib bone in his hand to block Lu Chen's attack.

"Clang! Clang!" Crisp sounds rang out from within the cave. Under Lu Chen's interference, the Tiger Kill Bear was unable to make its next move. All it could do was watch as the red color on its ribs gradually faded.

The Tigerslayer Bear was even more frustrated. He took a step forward and struck a palm towards Lu Chen's chest.

When Lu Chen saw the Tiger Kill Bear's palm striking him, his eyes flickered for a moment. Then, he used his spiritual energy to form a protective barrier around his body to receive the palm strike without dodging, while simultaneously slashing his sword at the Tiger Kill Bear.

Seeing Lu Chen slashing at it with his sword, the Tiger Kill Bear subconsciously took a step to the left and struck Lu Chen in the chest with its palm. However, the Tiger Kill Bear's expectation of having Lu Chen killed with a single palm from him did not appear to have loosened its grip. It saw the rib bone in its hand being snatched away by Lu Chen, and just as it was about to go up and fight, it saw Lu Chen teleport twenty meters away.

"I think it's better to ruin something like this." Lu Chen did not pay attention to the surging qi and blood in his body. Instead, he revealed a faint smile towards the Tiger Kill Bear. With a 'kacha' sound, the Tiger Kill Bear's ribs were broken in Lu Chen's hands.

"Bastard." Seeing that his ribs had been broken like that by Lu Chen, the Tiger Massacre Bear thought of how it had gone through great difficulty to forcefully use its innate ability and then perished just like that. Then, thinking of the person in front of him who had caused all of this, it seemed like he was the main culprit.

The Tiger Kill Bear rushed towards Lu Chen with bloodshot eyes. There was only one thought in its head: kill the human in front of it, it did not notice the ridicule in Lu Chen's eyes at all.

Seeing the Tiger Kill Bear rushing towards him, there was no trace of panic on Lu Chen's face. Instead, he just stood there silently, a smile on his face as he looked at the Tiger Kill Bear.

On the other hand, Lu Chen's calm attitude completely infuriated the Tiger Kill Bear, "Great Void Splitting Palm." The Tigerslayer Bear roared and sent a palm strike towards Lu Chen.

As the Tiger Slaying Bear struck out with his palm, the entire cave began to tremble from the force of the palm strike. Wherever the palm strike landed, the originally solid rocks would turn into dust.

Lu Chen also felt the power of this palm strike and did not panic. Instead, he extended his left hand towards the direction of the tiger slaying bear, and said indifferently: "Formation, reverse."

Just as the tiger slaying bear felt that something was wrong, it felt a pain in its chest. Then, it looked at its own chest, where a deep palm print had appeared. That palm print looked exactly the same as its own, and a chill rose up from the back of the tiger slaying bear.
