Chapter 49: One Fist Kills

  Shhh!

  A faint noise caught the attention of Qin Yong and others.

  At this time, everyone was eating roasted rabbit meat and chatting, Qin Yong didn't say much and just listened quietly, as if they had all relaxed their guard. However, with a sudden noise, Cai Feiyun, Xu Donglin, and the other two people simultaneously stopped talking and noticed the commotion. The Red Leaf Forest is a paradise for demonic beasts, and now that they were roasting meat here, it was normal to attract some demonic beasts with the delicious smell. Although they had set up guards, Cai Feiyun, Xu Donglin, and the other two people didn't feel overly tense, after all, this place was on the outer periphery, and the possibility of a powerful demon beast appearing was low, it might just be a strong demonic beast.

  Qin Yong also had a relaxed face, but in his heart he was regretful. If only there were no one else here, it would be great to have such a good opportunity to catch the demon beast.

  Dada dada, the footsteps were getting closer and closer. Judging from the sound, it was a four-legged demon beast, which belonged to the category of fierce beasts. This kind of demon beast happened to be the most common in Red Leaf Forest.

  Finally, a figure emerged from the woods, revealing its shape, a tiger with two tails, its mouth exhaling white air, making a weak sound, sharp teeth with saliva dripping down, staring fixedly ahead.

  "Is it?" Qin Yong was slightly startled, recalling the double-tailed tiger he had encountered when he first passed through the Red Leaf Forest.

  The double-tailed tiger in the red leaf forest is a common fierce beast, not necessarily the one Qin Yong encountered at first, but it's also a seventh-level demon beast. Moreover, since they are in the same area, it's highly likely to be the same one. Furthermore, this double-tailed tiger has faint scratches on its head, as if someone had punched it open with their fist, just like how Qin Yong had repelled the incoming double-tailed tiger with a single punch back then.

  "What's this, just a double-tailed tiger and only a seventh-level demon beast at that." Li Yuncong curled his lip in disappointment, actually feeling let down because the demon beast he encountered was too weak.

  The Double-Tailed Tiger is a demonic beast evolved from the Fierce Tiger. When it becomes a demonic beast, its tail splits into two. If it becomes a Mysterious Beast, it will split again into three. This situation is similar to that of the Nine-Tailed Heavenly Fox, which is said to be born with three tails and is the king of fox demonic beasts. It is born as a Mysterious Beast and grows into an Earthly Spiritual Beast when its tail splits into six. When it awakens to the Heavenly Fox bloodline, it will evolve again into the Nine-Tailed Heavenly Fox, becoming a Heavenly Spiritual Beast, an extremely terrifying demonic beast.

  The double-tailed tiger is naturally inferior to the nine-tailed heavenly fox, but it can also be considered a relatively high-level demon beast. The double-tailed tiger is only a demon beast level, and it's not even looked at by the Xuanwu Realm martial artists. Moreover, this double-tailed tiger is only a seventh-level demon beast, although it's considered a high-level demon beast, but it's also the lowest among the high-level demon beasts.

  "This is the outer circle of the Red Leaf Forest, what do you want to encounter? Besides, if we really encounter a Xuan Beast, it'll be troublesome." Mo Lan rolled her eyes at Li Yun Cong.

  Ordinary Xuan beasts wouldn't be a problem, even if they were 4th or 5th level. With tacit cooperation, they could at least retreat unscathed. However, with Qin Yong added to the mix, it seemed a bit cumbersome. Since they were all Cloud Sea Sect disciples, they couldn't ignore him either. That's why Mo Lan said that encountering Xuan beasts would be troublesome, and in such situations, it was hard to guarantee Qin Yong's safety.

  Li Yuncong heard this and didn't know what to say, so he could only secretly discuss it with others.

  Qin Yong knew he was now a burden, and in his heart, he wished they would give up on him and leave. However, the two tigers in front of him were not enough to make them think that way. Moreover, from what Qin Yong had heard about Cai Feiyun and Xu Donglin, if something really happened, they probably wouldn't abandon him either.

  "Alright, this double-tailed tiger should be the overlord of this area. Killing it will ensure a peaceful night, no need to worry excessively. Moreover, although this double-tailed tiger is only a seventh-level demon beast, the materials on its body are not bad either, so let's not complain." Cai Feiyun said with a smile, instantly relieving the awkward atmosphere.

  Cai Feiyun's words made Xu Donglin and Mo Lan blush, while Li Yuncong's eyes lit up.

  "The nickname 'Refined and Elegant' was spread by which guy, this guy is absolutely **." Qin Yong had a wave of discontent in his heart, looking at Cai Fei Yun with some speechlessness.

  As for this double-tailed tiger, what's most valuable on its body isn't the fur or bones, but the tiger whip. This is a divine object for strengthening yang energy, and in terms of value, it can even compare to ordinary xuan beast materials. Moreover, in the eyes of some young masters who have weakened their kidneys and become impotent due to excessive drinking and lust, not even a living xuan beast pet is worth as much as this thing.

  "Wait." Qin Yong's mind moved quickly, and he immediately shouted for Li Yuncong, who was about to take action, to stop.

  "What's wrong? Do you have any opinions?" Li Yuncong looked at Qin Yong with a hint of displeasure.

  If it weren't for the fact that they were both disciples of Yunhai Sect, and Qin Yong was already barely considered an outer sect disciple, Li Yuncong wouldn't even bother to reason with him. Of course, more importantly, it was because of Cai Feiyun and Xu Donglin's sake, these two people had always been kind to others, if he showed too much malice, he would inevitably be lectured by them.

  "This double-tailed tiger seems to be the one I met before, when I hadn't yet broken through the seventh layer of Qi Wu. At that time, I could only throw a punch and quickly escape. Now that we've met again, I hope Brother Qin can leave this opportunity for me, so I can settle my grudge with him." Qin Yong said, pointing at the double-tailed tiger's head.

  Cai Feiyun, Xu Donglin and the others finally understood why this double-tailed tiger had a head injury. It was actually beaten by Qin Yong. Xu Donglin looked at Qin Yong deeply and smiled: "It seems that Brother Qin is not simple either. He can defeat the double-tailed tiger when he reaches the sixth level of Qi Wu, now that he has broken through to the seventh level of Qi Wu, he indeed has a chance to kill this double-tailed tiger."

  The demonic beast had a sturdy physique, generally stronger than the same level of martial artist, but this could only be used on ordinary martial artists. Some martial artists who were not much different in strength from the same level of martial artists were much stronger. These martial artists were either those who had been stuck at the boundary for a long time or were talented geniuses. Qin Yong's cultivation was naturally somewhat unimpressive to them, but perhaps he was a battle genius after all.

  "In that case, let's leave the opportunity to Qin Yong, junior brother." Cai Fei Yun also agreed at this time.

  Mo Lan would not object, and was also very interested in watching such a battle. The Double-Tailed Tiger was too weak for them, but for Qin Yu, even if he was a fighting genius, it would still be an intense battle.

  "It's probably because you stayed in the sixth layer of Qi Wu for too long, that's why it's like this. Maybe after breaking through to the seventh layer of Qi Wu, your true energy will be more robust, but your actual strength may not have increased." Li Yuncong still had a poisonous tongue, but he retreated nonetheless.

  Qin Yong heard this and didn't say anything, taking a step forward, beckoning to the Double-Tailed Tiger with his hand, also expecting a good fight in his heart, even more wanting to seize this opportunity.

  Roar! The double-tailed tiger also recognized that this was the person it had encountered a few days ago. As a demon beast, being defeated by someone weaker than itself was an absolute humiliation. The double-tailed tiger let out a loud roar and pounced on Qin Yong, wanting to subdue its enemy with its sharp and powerful claws before tearing it apart and swallowing it whole with its teeth.

  "Good job!" Qin Yong praised, without a hint of fear in his heart, but instead his blood was boiling. He watched the double-tailed tiger's pouncing motion, took a step back to dodge its attack, clenched his right fist, and swung it out with force, circulating his true energy.

  Bang! A loud noise, the Double-Tailed Tiger was hit again, but even Qin Yong was shocked by the scene in front of him. The Double-Tailed Tiger actually rolled out like a kite with a broken string, quickly rolling outward, and there were cracking sounds of breaking bones coming from it. After rolling for nearly ten meters, it finally fell to the ground, let out a few mournful cries, and then its body stopped moving. This seventh-level demon beast was actually killed by Qin Yong's one punch.
