Chapter 56: I Offer the Tiger Head to the High Monk!
Chapter 56: I Offer the Tiger Head to the High Monk!
"The Mountain Lord has emerged!"
"Run for your lives!!!"
". . ."
In the open space before the ancestral hall, the villagers finally came to their senses, as if waking from a nightmare, upon the departure of the Tiger Demon.
They screamed in terror and fled in all directions.
Upon seeing this, Situ Qing's expression darkened, and he shouted, "Stay here, don't run!"
With the intervention of the Elder Monk and the presence of the others, this place was still relatively safe.
However, if they ran into the battlefield, they might get caught in the crossfire and lose their lives.
Unfortunately, no one heeded their words.
Witnessing this, Situ Qing's expression grew grim.
"Brother Situ, let's not bother with these villagers who aid the wicked. Let's hurry to the battlefield and see if we can seize an opportunity to earn some merit," Wu Meng suggested.
"Yes! A grandmaster-level demon, even if we only assist the monk in slaying it, it will still be a great achievement!" Xin Yi, also known as Ma Si, added.
Among the five, except for Situ Qing, Wu Meng, disguised as Zhu San, and Xin Yi, disguised as Ma Si, spoke up.
The remaining two women, one named Liu Yi and the other named Zou Xi, remained silent, but their eyes shone with determination as they looked at Situ Qing.
Situ Qing's eyebrows furrowed slightly.
Whoosh!
At that moment, a figure suddenly darted past them.
Then, like a phantom, it rushed towards the distant battlefield.
"This kid didn't leave after all!" Wu Meng exclaimed in surprise.
Situ Qing glanced around at the villagers who were almost gone, then made a firm decision, "Let's go!"
With that, the five of them swiftly headed towards the battlefield.
Left behind was the village elder, who was at a loss, looking somewhat dazed as he touched his chest.
Someone had just patted him.
"Roar!!!"
"Old Monk, your strength is weakening!"
On the battlefield, which resembled a wasteland, the Tiger Demon, Mountain Lord, roared thunderously.
Across from it, Chongming Monk, whose golden glow had slightly dimmed, maintained his calm and unshakable demeanor.
He took a step forward, and his palms rained down blows upon the Tiger Demon.
"No problem, this wicked beast will be taken care of!"
As his strength weakened, he increased the frequency of his attacks.
He couldn't allow the Tiger Demon any chance to catch its breath!
The consumption of merit was far greater than he had anticipated.
Maintaining his clear and calm nature required merit, and sustaining his current combat power also required merit.
The amount of merit consumed every moment was immense!
He couldn't afford to delay any longer; he had to slay the Tiger Demon as soon as possible!
Otherwise, once his merit was depleted, he would no longer be able to maintain his clear and calm nature or his current combat power.
That would lead to endless troubles!
Although Qin Shizhu had exceptional martial talent, his cultivation time was still insufficient.
He was not yet capable of dealing with this Tiger Demon!
These thoughts flashed through Chongming Elder Monk's mind.
A subtle hint of gravity flashed through the Elder Monk's eyes, and with each attack, his movements became increasingly ferocious.
Under these circumstances, the Tiger Demon continuously retreated, and its aura became chaotic.
"Just as I predicted!"
A glimmer of understanding flashed through the Tiger Demon's eyes.
It let out a shrill roar and no longer engaged the Elder Monk directly. Instead, it turned and ran towards the depths of the mountains.
Although the old monk's attacks were fierce, he was indeed restricted!
As long as it dragged out the time, the old monk would eventually collapse from exhaustion!
The Tiger Demon felt its mind racing, almost reaching the peak of its life.
Boom! Boom!
In the mountains, continuous thundering impacts echoed.
The massive Tiger Demon, resembling an elephant, entered the forest and bulldozed its way, creating a path.
Behind it, Chongming Elder Monk's expression turned grave, and the golden glow surrounding him weakened further.
"Amitabha!"
The elder monk chanted a single Buddha's name with a low voice.
He knew that his weakness had been discovered by the tiger demon.
Thus, a determined look appeared in the eyes of the Chongming Elder Monk.
Boom!
A rumbling sound seemed to emerge from the void.
The golden glow on the monk's body, which had dimmed significantly, suddenly brightened once more.
At the same time, the golden light resembled flames, burning intensely and enveloping the monk's body.
At this moment, he truly resembled the legendary Descendant Buddha!
Then, the monk's gaze turned towards the distant fleeing tiger demon, and with a single step, he rushed forward like an arrow.
From above, a golden light could be seen, moving at an incredible speed, like a meteor, and crashing into the leading tiger demon.
Boom!!
A sound of flesh exploding rang out.
Following that, the sound of trees collapsing under immense pressure filled the air.
With that nearly all-out strike, the tiger demon's body was instantly sent flying, smashing into and flattening a large area of trees.
The massive tiger demon's eyes widened, and it panted heavily, seemingly trying to draw life force from the air.
Meanwhile, the golden light on the monk's body quickly dimmed.
He looked at the tiger demon not far away, and a hint of regret appeared on his face.
With his final all-out attack, this tiger demon, though severely injured and near death, had managed to survive.
But he had exhausted himself!
He couldn't unleash another attack as fierce as the previous one.
Moreover, he could feel that without the support of merit, his true nature seemed to sink into a quagmire, gradually succumbing.
It seemed that it wouldn't take long before he lost his rationality and completely became a soul ghost of the tiger demon.
However, this severely injured and dying tiger demon probably had lost its fighting prowess as well.
If Qin Shizhu arrived, he should be able to slay it.
With this thought, the Chongming Elder Monk's heart finally relaxed a little.
Roar!
Suddenly, at that moment, a low growl emanated from the tiger demon's body on the ground.
Then, its widened pupils narrowed again, and a cold light reappeared in its tiger eyes.
It turned its head towards the monk, and cunning flashed in its eyes.
"I was going to deceive you, but it seems you truly are finished!"
The tiger demon spoke with a chilling tone.
At the same time, its massive body stood up again.
On its elephant-like gigantic tiger body, only its tail was broken, and there were no other serious injuries.
"When your last shred of self-awareness dissipates, I will command you to kill those innocent citizens you've been protecting!"
As it spoke with a chilling tone, a cruel and hideous smile appeared on its tiger face.
Witnessing this, the monk's face showed panic for the first time.
He had misjudged his own strength and underestimated the tiger demon's cunning and power.
He was powerless to fight further and might even completely become a soul ghost of the tiger demon.
The citizens of Yanhe Village, Qin Shizhu, and those young masters.
They might all fall victim to the tiger demon's slaughter, becoming innocent wandering spirits!
Thinking of this, the monk's heart ached, and two trails of clear tears slowly rolled down from the corners of his eyes.
"This poor monk has committed grave sins!"
He was truly powerless to fight any longer.
And the tiger demon slowly approached him, looking down at the monk with disdain.
Then, it opened its tiger mouth, about to devour the monk.
Swish!
Suddenly, a figure rushed out from the forest like an arrow.
Then, with an unstoppable powerful aura, before the tiger demon could react, a palm pressed down on its tiger head.
Boom!
Under the force of this powerful strike, the tiger demon's body was instantly crushed into the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust.
Instantly, a bright and clear saber light, like the moon, shone.
"Chongming Elder Monk, your virtue will be remembered!"
Whoosh!
The saber light descended!
The massive tiger head separated from its body and rolled in front of the monk, and in its tiger eyes, a cruel and triumphant look remained.
