Chapter 278: Horned Tiger
Ignoring the statue on the right side, Ye Xiao walked in front of the statue on the left side and placed his right hand on it. Then he began to infuse his spirit energy inside the old man"s statue.
He kept infusing his spirit energy and after five minutes, the statue suddenly started to shine. Then in the next moment, two rays of light shot out from the statue"s eyes and entered Ye Xiao"s body.
"What? What was that?" Ye Xiao was confused when he saw the two rays of light entering his body.
"Don"t worry about that. Those two rays of light were a kind of talisman that will transport you back to here, after three days." Seeing Ye Xiao"s agitation, the old man told him not to worry.
Ye Xiao also calmed down after hearing the old man. Another two minutes later, a red glow appeared on the statue"s body that started to move toward Ye Xiao. Ye Xiao let it touch his body but what surprised him that the red glow was actually kept spreading and it did not take long before his entire body started to glow red.
Then in the next moment, Ye Xiao disappeared.
"Young man, let"s see if you can find the hidden cave or not?" After Ye Xiao disappeared, the Zhu Family Ancestor said in low voice. Then he turned to look at the statue on the right side and sighed, "Looks like I have to wait for some more years to let my descendent obtain my inheritance. After that, I can peacefully enter the road of reincarnation!"
.....
_Vermillion Bird Empire, Red Sun Country_
In a third country like the Red Sun Country, there is only one great sect called Red Sun Sect.
Not far away from the Red Sun Sect, there was a forest called the Black Wind Forest.
Well, this forest existed at the rear mountains of the Red Sun Sect. The lush and verdant forest covered the sky, and occasionally, low beast roars could be heard coming from within the forest.
"Kill!"
A roar sounded out from within the Black Wind Forest.
BOOM!
Soon after, a m.u.f.fled sound could be heard, followed by a cloud of smoke and dust. A six meters tall Ape fell to the ground. Beside him, a thin figure stood there silently.
"Fifth!" The thin figure said softly, the blue spear in his hand stabbed into the Ape"s body, killing the Ape in an instant.
This figure was naturally Ye Xiao. It"s already been one day since he was transported here. From the moment he arrived here, he has been searching for the valley that the old man talked about.
His cultivation was also suppressed to the Seventh Stage of the Origin Core Realm. Because of this, he can not even fly.
Although the ancestor of the Zhu Family told him that his spiritual sense will be suppressed here, what he had was not spiritual sense but Divine Sense, and his Divine Sense was not suppressed at all.
The range of his Divine Sense was enough to cover the entire Black Wind Forest but he did not choose to do so. He wanted to take some rest for a day before searching for the Flame Serpent"s Valley but these d.a.m.n Magical Beasts did not let him take some rest at all.
At the interval of few hours, one after, Fourth Grade Magical Beasts kept coming at him. In their eyes, Ye Xiao"s Origin Core Realm cultivation was not enough to deal with them and so, he became their pray.
However, although his cultivation was suppressed, his abilities were still there. Those beasts were no match for him at all.
Frustrated, he thought of searching the Flame Serpents" Valley as soon as possible, complete his mission and go back. The feeling of being suppressed was not at all comfortable.
After killing the Ape, Ye Xiao spread his Divine Sense and covered the entire Black Wind Forest. Soon he found a Valley and a cave also but unlike what the Zhu Family"s ancestor told him, this cave was not hidden in the slightest.
What was more, other than Flame Serpents, there was another magical beast that was actually a Fifth Grade Magical Beast.
Ye Xiao tried to look for another cave in hope of finding a cave at some hidden location but he failed.
Although what the Zhu Family Ancestor told and what he found, both were different, Ye Xiao still decided to go there and take a look.
"Ru Lan, run! The beast behind us is about to catch up!" Just as Ye Xiao was about to go to the Flame Serpents" Valley, he heard a hurried voice not too far away.
He looked up and saw two figures in the forest. One was a man and the other was a woman. Their faces were pale as they tried their best to escape. And a few hundred meters behind them, a three-meter long tiger with a single horn on its head was closely following behind them.
"d.a.m.n it, how could these two idiots provoke such a big fellow?" Ye Xiao couldn"t help but curse in a low voice. Of course, he recognized this Horned Tiger. It was a Horned Tiger with the strength equivalent to a Peak Martial King Realm martial artist.
This Horned Tiger"s strength was unfathomable, especially that single horn on its head that was incomparably sharp. It is said that the Horned Tiger"s horn can shatter mountains. This was because the Magical Beast"s physique was stronger than humans. Even though the Horned Tiger was only a Peak Fourth Grade Magical Beast, if some First or Second Stage Martial Emperor Realm martial artist were to meet it, they would only be able to escape.
"There is someone there?" Just when Ye Xiao was still shocked that these two fellows, who, just like him, only had the strength at the Seventh Level of Origin Core Realm, would actually dare to provoke the Horned Tiger, the young man among the two coincidentally saw Ye Xiao.
That young man"s eyes instantly lit up and he ran towards Ye Xiao: "This big brother, help us."
"d.a.m.n!" Ye Xiao cursed and ran. His cultivation was suppressed to the Seventh Stage of the Origin Core Realm, how can he help them?
From the moment he arrived here, he had already fought and killed five Fourth Grade Magical Beast and his spirit energy was already completely used. Only after recovering completely can he help them but right now, there was no choice other than to run.
"Roar!"
That Horned Tiger looked at Ye Xiao who suddenly appeared and thought that he was the helper of the other two. A tyrannical aura burst out from his body and his speed also erupted. He leaped and blocked in front of Ye Xiao and the other two.
Ye Xiao turned around and looked at the young girl and the teenager coldly. Now, even he was trapped. He had not yet recovered his spirit energy completely and he can not use the First Style of the Sea Dragon Descends with his current strength.
Other than that, although he could use the "Soul Destruction", he would have to pay some price to use it because right now, his cultivation was suppressed and the Horned Tiger in front of him was much stronger than him.
"I"m sorry, we didn"t do it on purpose." The girl said timidly. It was obvious that she felt bad for dragging Ye Xiao into this.
"Bro, don"t scold me anymore. Let"s deal with this big guy in front of us first." The youth was clearly much calmer. Although his face was somewhat pale, there was no trace of panic in his eyes.
"Roar!" The Horned Tiger roared and pounced towards the three of them.
"Get out of the way." Ye Xiao pushed the two away forcefully and used Spirit Devour Escape at the same time, appearing behind the Horned Tiger"s back.
"Sacred Finger Art."
His eyes suddenly focused and a violent energy gathered in his finger. After that, he heavily pierced his finger into the body of the Horned Tiger.
"Roar!"
The Horned Tiger cried out in pain as blood gushed out from his body. But still, this injury could be only called light injuries as Ye Xiao"s attack did not deal much damage to the Horned Tiger.
Ye Xiao did not stop here, he clenched his fist and smashed it heavily on the Horned Tiger"s Body.
"BOOM!"
The Horned Tiger was sent flying by Ye Xiao"s fist due to its unstable footing.
Although his cultivation was suppressed, his strong body was still there. Nine Dragon Universal Circulation Technique was both Body and Energy Cultivation Technique. Because of this technique, his body was much stronger than others.
"Nice man!" When the youth at the side saw Ye Xiao display his G.o.dly prowess and smack the Horned Tiger away with his fist, he happily shouted, "Hurry up and get rid of it."
"This brat!" Ye Xiao gritted his teeth when the young man shouted, but he didn"t have the time to scold him. His gaze turned to the Horned Tiger who had already stood up and pounced towards Ye Xiao again.
