Chapter 26: The Crimson-Eyed Demon Tiger

  Li Hui and Han Xue have already entered the third day of Yunyu Ze, while in front of them is still a vast expanse of marshes. The trees in the marsh are lush, with some tree trunks reaching as high as 100 feet, and there are also rare flowers and grasses hidden in the dark crevices of rocks.

  There were even more demon beasts that couldn't be counted, and almost every hundred miles or so, they would encounter a fourth-grade demon beast. Those refining stage demon beasts were as common as ordinary fierce beasts.

  The weather in this vast expanse is also quite strange, sometimes within a day it's sunny in the morning, pouring rain at noon, and clearing up again in the evening.

  All the way, the two of them were afraid to fly too high because they might encounter fierce flying beasts again in the air, so they flew at a distance of about 100 zhang from the ground, and their spiritual consciousness was released at all times for reconnaissance.

  Along the way, the two had already killed seven foundation-level demon beasts. They even encountered a pack of fourth-level demon beasts, the Red-tailed Wolves, with over a dozen heads. The two naturally didn't dare to provoke them and took advantage of the slow flight speed of the beast-type demon beasts, accelerating their speed from high altitude and flying past quickly to avoid the pack of Red-tailed Wolves.

  At this time, the two had already traveled a distance of over 2,000 miles, and in front of them was still a vast expanse of marshland. They hadn't encountered any cultivators, nor had they seen any cultivation sects or places of residence.

  Li Hui's face was solemn as he looked ahead, his eyebrows slightly furrowed, and in his heart, he became increasingly suspicious of what Guo Feng had said.

  According to Guo Feng, traveling three thousand miles north from Ningyuan City would lead to the great city of Ziwai, where cultivators gather. Now that they have entered Yunyuze for over two thousand miles, logically speaking, they should have already arrived at Ziwai City. Even if there were some deviations, they should be able to see signs of cultivator activity nearby.

  And on their way, they encountered more and more demonic beasts, which showed a more and more severe trend.

  As soon as they entered the smoky rain, hundreds of miles away, the iron rock crocodile they encountered was in the late stage of foundation building. However, most of the demon beasts they met along the way were in the early or middle stages of foundation building. But recently, the few demon beasts they had encountered were mostly in the late stage of foundation building, and their distribution was becoming increasingly dense.

  Li Hui had a faintly ominous premonition in his heart, and he suspected that even more formidable demonic beasts might appear next. If they encountered a golden core demonic beast above level five, their only option would be to flee for their lives, perhaps even hiding within the immortal mansion.

  Either Guo Feng deliberately set them up, wanting to use the danger of the big marsh to get rid of both of them, or he was completely unaware of the situation in the marsh and the information he told Li Hui was partly what he knew and partly his own speculation.

  Logically speaking, the possibility of Guo Feng intentionally cheating them is very small. If Li Hui discovers that Ze Zhong is dangerous and turns back to find him to settle accounts, he will not be able to escape no matter what. So the most likely thing is that Guo Feng himself is also half-baked and the information he provided is incorrect.

  Li Hui shook his head and stopped thinking about it. Regardless of whether Guo Feng's words were true or false, they had already ventured over 2,000 miles into the swamp. Returning now would not be worthwhile, so it was better to continue advancing another thousand miles. If they could reach Ziwei City, that would be best; if they couldn't reach Ziwei City or encountered even more ferocious beasts, they would immediately return.

  "Xuě ér, what's coming next might be even more ferocious demonic beasts. Why don't you enter the immortal mansion to take temporary refuge? You can come out again when we reach that Zi Wei City." Li Hui said anxiously to Han Xue beside him.

  Han Xue's face also had a few points of solemnity, she naturally knew the situation at this time, but shook her head and said firmly: "I'll accompany you, just in case there's any danger, I can take care of it."

  Li Hui naturally understood that Han Xue was unwilling for him to face danger alone, and his heart warmed up. He looked at Han Xue with deep affection.

  Han Xue looked at Li Hui and smiled: "Don't worry, I'm not a vase, I won't hold you back."

  Li Hui was taken aback and also burst out laughing.

  Han Xue was not just a pretty face, she majored in Wood-elemental Kung Fu and also knew quite a few Water-elemental spells. Her swordsmanship was also quite skilled. Along the way, they had encountered many demonic beasts, and it was always the two of them working together to take them down. Now, their coordination had become quite tacit.

  Two people flew forward shoulder to shoulder, and saw a white and purple light flashing quickly across the sky above the marsh.

  Below them, ridge after ridge of mountains and rivers were swept over by the two people, who then flew over a dense thicket of trees.

  Li Hui had a faint feeling that something was off. Along the way, his spiritual awareness was fully open, and he had a grasp of everything on the ground. Normally, there would be many low-level demon beasts in these mountain ranges, but below, in this thicket, it was eerily quiet, without even one low-level demon beast present.

  "Xue Er, there's something strange about this thicket. Stay close to me!" Li Hui said seriously to Han Xue.

  Han Xue also discovered the situation in the thicket, nodded and approached Li Hui's side, with their flying swords almost touching each other, slowing down their speed to continue forward.

  Deep in the jungle, a mysterious cave, a white-haired black-spotted tiger crouched inside, its belly rising and falling with an eerie rhythm, as the spiritual energy of heaven and earth formed a small whirlpool around it that constantly entered the tiger's body.

  Suddenly the fierce tiger opened its eyes, emitting a dazzling light! What's even more astonishing is that this tiger had an extra crimson eye on its forehead.

  The tiger's eyes gleamed with greed and ferocity as it suddenly vanished into the cave like a gust of wind.

  In the jungle above, Li Hui's face changed greatly as he flew forward, stopping his body, and Han Xue beside him also stopped.

  The two faces were solemn, their eyes fixed tightly on the front.

  "Roar!"

  A deafening roar echoed through the mountains as a striped tiger appeared several miles away, rapidly closing in on the two.

  "Golden Elixir period demon beast!" Li Hui shouted loudly, his face revealing a deep sense of fear, he waved his hand and the Wind Breaking Arrow appeared under his feet. "Xue Er, come up quickly!"

  Han Xue was also a beauty lost in thought, and didn't dare to hesitate. With one leap, she stepped onto the Broken Wind Dart. Li Hui shouted out an incantation, and the Broken Wind Dart shook once before quickly flying off towards the right direction.

  They were originally heading due north, but now they changed direction and headed east instead.

  Li Hui's face was solemn as he urged the Wind Chaser to move at full speed. In a few flashes, they were already over ten miles away, and his spiritual sense had fully extended, sensing the situation around him.

  "Roar!"

  Another loud whistle, followed by a flash on the horizon, and a striped tiger appeared, with a third eye of crimson color on its forehead, its body several meters long, four tiger claws hovering in the air, swiftly closing in on the two people.

  "Red-eyed Demon Tiger!" At this time, the fierce tiger had already entered the range of spiritual sense, and Li Hui quickly recognized the origin of this fierce tiger.

  The Red-eyed Demon Tiger, only after reaching the fifth level, will its third eye open, and it possesses a divine ability called the Red Magic Eye. It can also be considered a rare beast, although not comparable to the Dragon's having divine bloodline, nor is it an ordinary demon beast.

  Li Hui didn't dare stop for a moment, and the spiritual energy inside his body surged into the Broken Wind Arrow like a raging river, increasing its speed once again.

  However, the Red-eyed Demon Tiger was still rapidly closing in. Although it wasn't particularly skilled at speed, as a fifth-grade Golden Core demon beast, it wasn't something that a Foundation Establishment cultivator could compare to.

  Feeling the rapid approach of the Red-eyed Demon Tiger, Li Hui's heart was also filled with abnormal anxiety, but he couldn't think of a way out. In desperation, he could only temporarily hide in the immortal mansion!

  "Xian Fu?" Li Hui's heart skipped a beat, and he transmitted his voice: "Xue Er, quickly enter the Xian Fu!"

  Han Xue was also extremely anxious at this time. When she heard Li Hui's transmission, she was stunned for a moment and then firmly shook her head: "I want to go with you!"

  Li Hui felt a warmth in his heart and understood that Han Xue wanted to be with him through thick and thin, but at this critical moment, it was not the time for romantic feelings.

  As they spoke, the Red-eyed Demon Tiger behind them had already chased to within a hundred feet, its eyes greedily staring at the two human cultivators in front of it. Letting out a loud roar, its body rapidly closed in on them with swift and fierce pounces.

  "It's too late, Xue'er, hurry in, I have a way to escape!" Li Hui shouted anxiously, while urging the immortal mansion. Han Xue only felt a huge suction force coming, looking at Li Hui's determined eyes, and didn't think much, without resisting the suction force of the immortal mansion, a white light flashed and disappeared.

  "Roar!"

  The Red-eyed Demon Tiger let out a mighty roar and had already closed in to within fifty zhang!

  "Break Wind Dart, don't let me down!" Li Hui muttered to himself, and immediately a white light flashed, the Break Wind Dart's size quickly shrinking by half, transforming into a small boat only about one zhang long, but its speed suddenly increased, shooting forward.

  Just now, because the boat was carrying Han Xue, the volume of the Breaking Wind Dart had to be slightly larger, consuming more spiritual power, but the speed was slightly slower. At this moment, the shape of the boat changed and became smaller, with one less person on board, and the speed suddenly increased.

  The red-eyed demonic tiger had already closed in to within a few zhang of Li Hui, and was just about to pounce on him with its claws outstretched. But unexpectedly, the human cultivator's speed suddenly increased, rapidly opening up a distance of several zhang between them.

  "Roar!"

  The red-eyed demon tiger let out a long roar, like thunder rolling in, the third magic eye on its forehead suddenly contracted, and a red light burst out, shooting towards Li Hui.

  Li Hui's spiritual awareness sensed the arrival of this demonic light, and he understood that it was the exclusive divine ability of the Red-eyed Demonic Tiger. Not daring to be slow, his body drifted sideways, attempting to evade this demonic light.

  "Hiss!"

  Li Hui dodged the magic light, but it hit the Broken Wind Dart instead. The dart shook violently, and a red mark appeared on the spot where it was struck. The dart's glow dimmed instantly, and its speed greatly decreased.

  "Terrible!" Li Hui felt the change in Po Feng Chuan, and his heart cried out in distress, but he didn't dare to stop for a moment, his spiritual power urging Po Feng Chuan forward.

  After the rear Red-eyed Demon Tiger's strike, it no longer used its Red Magic Eye and continued to leap forward in a series of bounds.

  Li Hui sensed the Red-eyed Demon Tiger's flying escape method, and his heart moved. The Wind Piercing Arrow suddenly changed direction in mid-air and flew towards another direction.

  Without mentioning Li Hui's change of direction, the Red-eyed Demon Tiger continued to charge forward with a series of swift movements. As it finished its momentum, it turned around and chased after Li Hui.

  "It's a show!" Perceiving the Red-eyed Demon Tiger's clumsy flight method, Li Hui was overjoyed and constantly changed direction in mid-air.

  Chiyan Motiger was about to catch up when Li Hui suddenly flew away, and he was so angry that he kept roaring.

  "Hiss!"

  The third demon eye of the Red-eyed Demon Tiger contracted again, and another red light shot over.

  Li Hui didn't dare let the demonic light concentrate again and hastily changed direction.

  A tiger and a man were constantly changing direction in pursuit of each other in the sky.

  After several hours, Li Hui had flown nearly a thousand miles. At this time, the Purple Electric Sword was already under his feet, and the Wind Piercing Arrow had been struck by the Red Devil's Eye several times, greatly reducing its speed, and it had already been put away.

  "Beast! How dare you be so presumptuous!"

  At this moment, a cold hum suddenly came, followed by a "whoosh" sound, a green light cut through the sky and struck the red-eyed demon tiger that was chasing from behind.
