Chapter 538: Jackal to the Tiger

“Peng! Peng!”

“Ao!”

A series of fighting sounds brought Han Kui back to reality. As it looked up, it only saw the armadillo being beaten to a pulp, causing Han Kui to widen its eyes with disbelief.

F*ck, this is not logical! In just the blink of an eye, this armadillo was actually beaten to such a state? At the very least, you’re still a Thousand Year King realm Demonic Beast ah, is there a need to be so weak?

Han Kui felt like its brains were malfunctioning. Wasn’t this tyrant rabbit a bit too strong? How did a Demonic Beast of the same Second level Thousand Year King realm as the gangster rabbit get beaten up like a grandson?

As Han Kui watched, the gangster rabbit placed one foot on the armadillo’s head, causing Han Kui to feel a terrible sense of familiarity. Too detestable. All of us are Demonic Beasts, and we’re all trying to make a living out here… Why are you so much stronger…

“Ji-ji!”

The gangster rabbit widened its mouth and looked at Han Kui with a smile that was not a smile.

“Moo!” Seeing this evil tyrant turn its gaze onto it, Han Kui shivered intensely. With an unbelievable speed, it plopped down onto the gangster rabbit’s feet and grabbed onto its muscular legs with an ingratiating look on its face.

“Ji-ji!” The gangster rabbit smiled suavely, revealing its sharp teeth. Its two ears twitched lightly, and it seemed to be in a pretty good mood as it petted Han Kui’s head.

“Moo!” Han Kui loosed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, it’d managed to fool its way through this time. Still, it told itself that it had to find a chance to escape as soon as possible. If it followed this fellow around, its face as a Thousand Year King would be utterly lost.

Han Kui’s eyes were filled with tears from the humiliation. When had anyone ever seen a Thousand Year King realm Demonic Beast hugging the thighs of another? This was too embarrassing.

“Ao!”

The armadillo beneath the gangster rabbit’s feet struggled continuously, but the gangster rabbit did not move at all as if it was a sturdy pillar.

“Moo!” Han Kui felt that its chance to perform had arrived. Without saying anything, it punched the armadillo’s face.

“Don’t, don’t hit the face!” The armadillo’s face was getting pummelled continuously, causing it to cry out in pain.

The armadillo’s face was originally already very sensitive. After being bashed up like that, it immediately began begging for mercy.

“Moo, don’t speak the human language,” Han Kui roared threateningly. Right now, its plan was that since it couldn’t get away from this gangster rabbit’s demonic claws yet, and from the looks of things, there would be a new brother joining this train of suffering, it should at least strive to be the top lackey, right?

The armadillo cocked its head, and asked without thinking, “Ao~ Why?

“Ow, hey, don’t hit, don’t hit the face! Hit my face again and This King will go all out against you!

“AO! Boss, can you not hit my face? Ow!”

Before they could react, countless scarlet fists rained down from all directions, pummelling the two Demonic Beasts until they howled and screeched.

Several minutes later, the gangster rabbit chewed on a carrot lazily as a bruised Han Kui stood quietly beside it.

“Huff! Huff!”

As for the armadillo, quite a lot of bright silver scales on its body were cracked. Large paw prints could be seen on its sides, and its nose had gone crooked from the beating. At this moment, it was using its grief and indignation as strength as it dug huffily at the ground.

At the top of the mountain gorge, Su Yun Zhong looked downwards with an agitated look as he waved his hand and gave the command. With a light sound, he and his six disciples leaped off the top of the mountain gorge and descended. As the auras of the seven people burst out menacingly, a series of violent winds howled around them.

“Wu~ wu!”

“Aowuuuu!”

As they landed, the Demonic Beasts that were responsible for taking care of the herb fields all grew frenzied and ran away in all directions.

“Ao!”

Inside a cave in the mountain gorge, a 30-something meter tall, 70-something meter long black tiger slowly opened its eyes. A scarlet golden light flashed past its eyes.

Raising its head, it roared long and menacingly. The black tiger’s cave shook heavily, causing large pieces of rocks to crash down.

“What a powerful Demonic Beast!”

“No wonder Teacher took it so seriously.”

Hearing this roar, apart from Su Yun Zhong, the others’ faces all paled instantly.

In the next moment, everyone’s eyes grew dazed as a three meter long black tiger appeared before them, striding through the air. Its domineering aura did not wane as it approached the group.

The aura on this tiger’s body was incredibly strong, and its entire body glistened with a black glossy sheen, and a distinct golden 王 ¹ character could be seen on its forehead, causing it to look even more menacing. A long tail swished lightly behind it, and even the air popped and crackled everywhere it passed by.

“Humans, this is not a place where you should come. Each of you, leave behind an arm for this King as snacks; after that, you may go.”

The black tiger growled coldly, its expression lofty and arrogant. It completely did not put this group of humans in its eyes at all.

“You’re just a damn beast; if you hand over the spirit herbs obediently, I can still spare your life.” Su Yun Zhong scoffed coldly. He’d waited for this chance to arrive for so long; how could he simply let it go like this? The moment the other nine great Beast Kings returned, not mentioning him, even if the entire Ten Extremes Sect came over, they would only end up as dinner for these animals.

It’s only at the Seventh layer of the Thousand Year King realm. Although tiger-type Demonic Beasts are known to be somewhat stronger than humans, with my Eighth layer Thousand Year King realm cultivation, this tiger is definitely not my match.

Su Yun Zhong heaved a sigh of relief when he felt this black tiger’s aura. It was only at the Seventh layer of the Thousand Year King realm. Although it would be somewhat troublesome to deal with, it should still be within his capabilities to handle. If it was a bit stronger, it would be difficult to avoid a situation where both sides suffered a loss. Right now, it was the perfect chance.

“ANG! Die for this King!” The black tiger roared angrily, and a fist-sized lump of black energy shot out of its mouth towards Su Yun Zhong. At the beginning, the energy ball was small, but as it moved several meters forward, it swelled to the size of a carriage!

Towards the end, it extended to become 15 meters wide. Everywhere it passed, the air rippled intensely, enveloping the small group of people!

“Petty tricks, it’s just something that looks fanciful but is useless. Let me go and slay this pathetic Demonic Beast. The rest of you, go and collect the spirit herbs.” Su Yun Zhong Looked at the huge patches of herb fields with a heated expression in his eyes as he instructed the others without any hesitation.

“Yes!”

Including Su Yun Zhong’s daughter, all six of them morphed into flashes of light and shot off in all directions.

“Chop!”

Su Yun Zhong looked at the approaching ball of energy without a change in his expression. A huge blade instantly appeared in his hand, reaching over four meters long!

“Pu!”

With a single chop, the energy ball was sliced apart, smashing into the herb fields and decimating large amounts of spirit herbs.

Su Yun Zhong’s mouth twitched with some heartache as he pounced towards the black tiger without any hesitation!

“Ang! Jackal to the Tiger!”

A black-colored light shone around the tiger’s body, and three indistinct shadows appeared beside it. Each shadow had aura equivalent to the Sixth layer of the Thousand Year King realm!

Seeing that Su Yun Zhong’s strength was great, it directly used its innate spirit power ability!

One man and one beast battled together, and huge energy ripples blasted out in all directions.

The two figures collided continuously like two huge mountains brawling. Each clash was heaven-shaking and earth-breaking.

On the other side, Huang Lin and the rest were picking spirit herbs with great speed, not letting a single stalk off. Regardless of whether they were ripe or not, all of them were stuffed into their Herbal Spatial Rings.

The group was visibly agitated. The amount of resources here was simply too massive! Even the Ten Extremes Sect would be shocked beyond words. Most likely, the amount of spirit herbs here was even more than the entire Ten Extremes Sect’s treasure trove.

The Ten Extremes Sect definitely did not have only Su Yun Zhong’s group. There were tens of elders and over ten thousand disciples.

But right now, all these resources would belong entirely to their group. With so many resources, it was completely enough to let their strength rise greatly, far surpassing the other elders’ teams.

The group of disciples worked incredibly swiftly, and in just half an hour, all the spirit herbs were picked up.

The group of disciples surrounded Ge Qi and said, “Third Senior Brother, all the spirit herbs are collected.”

“Third Senior Brother, let’s go and help Teacher. This mountain gorge still has other Demonic Beast Kings. If we delay further, there might be a change in the situation.”

Seeing this, Huang Lin’s aura rose up slowly, but his expression did not change at all.

These are all mine! Mine! Huang Lin screamed in his heart. It’d already been 20 years. All the prestige he’d built up in the heart of his junior brothers and sisters had been eroded away long ago.

Ge Qi raised his head and looked at the battle a distance away. Seeing that Su Yun Zhong was pressuring the black tiger, he instantly relaxed, and said, “There’s no rush, Teacher is obviously in an advantageous position right now. Before too long, this Demonic Beast will be slain by Teacher. Let’s take advantage of the fact that the other Demonic Beast Kings are not here now—this is our chance. There must be more treasures deeper in!”

“Senior Brother, this isn’t too good, why don’t we go and help out Father first? Then we can loot the nests of these Demonic Beast Kings,” Su Xin Yi said with some worry.

“Junior Sister, there’s no need to worry. Teacher is much stronger than that Demonic Beast. Besides, we don’t have much time remaining.”

“Exactly, Junior Sister, the real treasures must be inside those Demonic Beast Kings’ nests. If Teacher was here, he would definitely tell us to do this as well.”

Without waiting for Ge Qi to speak, the others spoke up with heated eyes as they thought about the treasures in the Demonic Beast Kings’ nests.

“Then… alright.” Seeing the others speaking like that as well, she reluctantly nodded her head.

What Su Xin Yi and the rest did not know was that the Su Yun Zhong who was seemingly dominating the black tiger was actually on the verge of tears right now. This Demonic Beast was simply perversely strong. Although it looked like he had the advantage, only he knew that his blood Qi was being exhausted too quickly.

If he weren’t continuously burning his blood Qi, he would have been dominated by the black tiger instead.

When he saw his disciples cleaning away the spirit herb fields, and thinking back to his instructions for them to assist him once they were done clearing the spirit herb fields, Su Yun Zhong could not help but to praise his own foresight.

But in the next moment, he nearly spat out a mouthful of old blood. What was he looking at? Not only did that bunch of idiot disciples not come to help him, they instead went excitedly in another direction!
