Chapter 126: Chapter 50: Slaying

The tiger demon, having been thwarted repeatedly, was clearly on guard.

As Shen Qing made a sudden move, it let out a roar, and in front of it, a blood-red radiance quickly coalesced into a Blood Shield, like a sea of blood.

Shen Qing's fingers pierced deeply into the Blood Shield, as if stabbing into the warm flesh of a cavity.

His Wind Defying Finger, a move in which he took pride, was halted.

The sizzling sound continuously emanated from it.

The Blood Shield actually possessed a corrosive power that was relentlessly eroding Shen Qing's skin.

If not for a layer of transparent film on the Dragon Roar Armor, his flesh would have undoubtedly been corroded away.

But at this time, the corrosive power of the Blood Shield could only wear away at the film, leaving Shen Qing without any sensation of pain.

He had never seen such a magic skill before, and his eyebrows furrowed slightly.

The tiger demon sneered with a malevolent grin, suddenly opening its huge mouth wide and attempting to bite Shen Qing.

"Die!"

However, before its tiger head could reach Shen Qing, an explosive burst of scorching breath erupted from the tips of Shen Qing's fingers.

Boom!

The intense Qi of the Nine Revolutions Mysterious Skill coupled with the explosive power of the Wind Defying Finger, the two combined into one burst within the Blood Shield, rushing towards the face of the tiger demon.

The tiger demon, having just stretched out its head and opened its mouth, had no time to understand what was happening before it was hit by the formidable force, causing its body to sway and crash into a tree.

The tree, as thick as the mouth of a bowl, was snapped in two by its waist.

Unfortunately, the trunk crashed right into the end of an arrow, the powerful inertia driving it further into the flesh.

Causing the tiger demon to scream miserably, it leaped up violently again.

Shen Qing, having reached the Great Perfection of the Skin Forging Realm and ascended to the Qi Cultivation Realm, now found that harnessing the Qi within his body caused him no discomfort whatsoever and he could fully unleash his inner power.

Having tested out the extent of his capabilities, Shen Qing saw the tiger demon's strength and no longer held back.

His muscles tensed throughout his body, and he leapt towards the location of the tiger demon.

The Nine Revolutions Mysterious Skill was pushed to the limit, carrying a terrifying scorching aura; Shen Qing kept thrusting his fingers forward, fiercely jabbing at the tiger demon's body.

Thud, thud, thud...

The muffled sounds of impact kept arising from the tiger demon's body.

Man and demon clashed in a fierce battle.

Wherever they went, every tree and shrub was shattered by their powerful forces.

Shen Qing, not only striking exceedingly quickly, also imbued each move with terrifying strength.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The power within him surged along his fingertips and jetted out, repeatedly targeting the same spot on the Blood Shield.

The tiger demon's Blood Shield finally could not hold up and collapsed completely.

"Roar!"

The tiger demon roared furiously.

At this moment, its body, once glossy, now bore the marks of being scorched, the whole tiger looking as if it had been fished out of a pit of fire.

It suddenly clawed at Shen Qing's chest.

Shen Qing couldn't avoid it in time.

With a tearing sound, that one claw shredded all of Shen Qing's outer garments, revealing the golden shine of his silkworm clothes underneath.

The tiger demon's expression stalled for a moment, and then it was sent flying by a slap from Shen Qing, crashing down in a messy heap.

Fear and shock were human-like expressions evident on the face of the tiger demon.

This was just the first exchange, and it was already having a hard time coping.

In that moment, it suddenly became afraid.

The man in front of it was somewhat different from the martial artists it had encountered before.

This man was too fearsome, far too strong—it couldn't win!

Unfortunately, at this point, whether it could escape was no longer up to it.

Shen Qing surged forward, ramming his shoulder into the tiger demon's back and lifting it off the ground.

Nine Revolutions Mysterious Skill, Wind Defying Finger, Blood Dominance Technique, and other martial arts were pushed to the extreme by Shen Qing as he kept thrusting his fingers.

Without the obstruction of the Blood Shield, not even the tiger demon's copper skin and iron bones could stop Shen Qing in the slightest.

Furthermore, having been hit by several arrows and sustaining some injuries, its strength was affected, and the tiger demon seemed even more unable to hold itself up.

Its tiger skin was fiercely punctured by Shen Qing, leaving behind holes from which streams of steam emerged.

Around the blood holes, the tiger fur was scorched clean under Shen Qing's finger, leaving nothing but a burnt black mark.

Shen Qing's eyes hardened, and he concentrated all the remaining strength and Qi in his body into the fingers of his right hand.

The exhausted tiger demon watched as Shen Qing's finger, glowing with a red light, plunged into its body with a massive force.

The tiger demon felt a searing pain in its chest and came to its senses, its claws scratching frantically at Shen Qing.

Blood-colored marks appeared on the transparent membrane on Shen Qing's body, as he felt waves of pain.

"Damn it!"

Shen Qing's expression turned grim as the intense heat of Nine Revolutions Mysterious Skill's Qi and the last of his power violently dispersed and erupted from his fingertips.

Everywhere it passed turned scorched yellow and ruptured.

A loud thud came from inside the tiger demon's body.

In the forest, Lian Bing and the square-faced senior brother, who hadn't left, were filled with disbelief, staring fixedly at Shen Qing with his hand embedded in the tiger demon's chest.

"It seems the tiger demon is nothing special after all," said Shen Qing as he pulled out his hand, covered with blood clumps and steaming with heat, his face showing a touch of disappointment.

The tiger demon gasped twice, emitting a sound akin to an old diesel engine starting up.

The deep wound pierced in its chest was now gushing blood like a fountain.

"Who are you... exactly..." the tiger demon asked.

"Me?" Shen Qing said, "Hong Shan, Shen Qing!"

Bang.

The massive body of the tiger demon swayed for a few moments before crashing down to the ground, causing the earth to tremble.

At this moment, the tiger demon's mind involuntarily projected the experiences of its life.

It recalled the days when, as a young tiger, it ran carefree in the jungle, chasing butterflies and playing in the streams.

At that time, it knew nothing of demons or humans.

It wasn't until one night when a meteor streaked across the sky that it gradually began to realize that it was different from the others.

Its strength was extraordinary, its intellect exceeded that of its peers, and eventually, it even devised its own magic skill.

From then on, it embarked on the path of a demonic beast, reigning as king of the forest.

Gradually, it was no longer content to be confined to its small mountainous territory; it began interacting with humans, attempting to understand their emotions and intelligence.

Unfortunately, every human who saw it wanted to kill it.

By chance, it killed a human and consumed him, opening up a new world, and it was no longer able to stop itself.

Just when it thought it was about to reach the pinnacle of its demonic existence, everything came to an abrupt end.

Now, lying in a pool of blood, as the last bit of life force drained away, the light gradually faded from the tiger demon's eyes.

Shen Qing, looking at the tiger demon that had breathed its last, swept his gaze unmoved and a sense of satisfaction appeared on his face.

Up to this point, this tiger demon was the most powerful being he had encountered.

He had just enough strength to deal with it.

"If I remember correctly, even a martial master at the Great Perfection of Qi Cultivation Realm would struggle against this tiger demon. My strength should have reached at least the Great Perfection of Qi Cultivation Realm," Shen Qing thought as he exhaled a breath of turbid air, and his tightly tensed muscles gradually relaxed.

As if noticing two unusual gazes behind him, Shen Qing turned to look, finding Lian Bing and the square-faced senior brother staring in shock.

Realizing Shen Qing's gaze was upon them, they became flustered, at a loss on how to approach Shen Qing at this moment.

"Shen... Lord Shen..."
