The immense impact radiated from the tiger demon, instantly spreading outwards and toppling the surrounding trees, raising a cloud of dust that filled the air.

As the smoke gradually cleared, it revealed the tiger demon's disheveled state.

It lay heavily smashed to the ground, creating a deep pit in the hard earth beneath it. Its originally golden fur was now covered with dust and debris.

Even more terrifying was the dark iron arrow imbedded in its massive haunch, exposing a gaping wound.

Waves of intense pain continually emanated from its haunch.

The tiger demon's eyes, as large as copper bells, were now filled with fear and unwillingness.

Ever since it began devouring humans, its cultivation had improved considerably.

Its body had long become impervious to blades and arrows.

The hunter's arrow could not harm it in the least.

The martial artists who ascended the mountain to hunt it lately found their swords and blades merely scratched its tiger fur.

Over time, its ambition grew, and it gradually held the humans in disdain, hunting them voraciously as prey.

In its opinion, the so-called human martial artists were nothing more than that.

But now, having been wounded by an unremarkable iron arrow, how could it accept this?

The tiger demon struggled to lift its head, looking toward the direction from which the dark light had shot.

Its eyes narrowed slightly, gathering vitality, finally making out the distant figure of a young man standing on the treetops holding a bow and arrows.

"Good, very good, excellent. Such powerful humans, surely with more Essence Qi in their flesh. This mountain lord, after consuming him, will increase my cultivation greatly."

The tiger demon turned its head, biting down on the dark iron arrow lodged in its haunch, and with a jerk of its neck, was about to pull it out, images of devouring that man constantly crossing its mind.

Just then, another dark light shot toward it.

Tiger demon: "What the hell..."

Boom!

Another cloud of dust spread in the air.

Shen Qing, standing on the treetop, retrieved his longbow, his gaze sharp.

Utilizing his eagle sight ability, he continually discerned the tiger demon's position.

After confirming the tiger demon had not moved, Shen Qing immediately shouted to Xiao Zhi below him, "Give me the rest of the arrows!"

Without any delay, Xiao Zhi quickly threw the remaining dark iron heavy arrows into Shen Qing's hands.

Shen Qing reached out and grabbed the arrows just in time.

Without any hesitation, Shen Qing fired arrows in rapid succession, one after another, from his hands.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!

In an instant, arrow after arrow gleamed coldly under the sunlight as they whistled toward the tiger demon.

A sharp sound of breaking through the air accompanied them.

The arrows wove an intricate net in mid-air, binding the tiger demon tightly within.

The tiger demon, with two arrows embedded in its haunch, just regained its senses, only to be dazed by this onslaught of arrows.

Boom, boom, boom...

The arrows pierced through the tiger demon's fur, embedding into its flesh and causing fresh blood to spray.

"I'll kill you... roar!"

The tiger demon let out a piercing howl that echoed far and wide.

Humm!

A blood-colored brilliance erupted from the tiger demon.

The arrows that followed were momentarily stopped by this thick blood-colored brilliance, creating invisible ripples.

However, upon piercing through the blood-colored aura, the arrows lost momentum and could not embed into the tiger demon's body.

At this time, the tiger demon's body was pierced by six or seven arrows, staining the ground with blood.

"Roar!"

Furious and exasperated, the tiger demon opened its bloody maw and roared.

Regardless of the arrows lodged in its body, it surged with waves of bloody wind, sprinting toward the position where Shen Qing stood.

In the forest, Xiao Zhi and the others heard the increasingly close roar of the tiger and their faces turned deathly pale.

Seeing the tiger demon was now on guard, Shen Qing understood that his current heavy bow could no longer take it by surprise, so he opted not to waste his energy.

He stowed the heavy bow and leaped down from the treetop, landing steadily on the ground.

Shen Qing handed the heavy bow back to Xiao Zhi, saying, "The tiger demon is coming, you all should find a place to hide."

"What about you?" Xiao Zhi asked.

Shen Qing smiled and said, "Of course, I'm going to try killing it!"

Xiao Zhi, knowing he was not capable enough to help here, clasped his fist in salute, turned, and left.

Then Shen Qing looked toward Lian Bing and his round-faced senior brother, "What about you?"

The round-faced senior brother gave a bitter smile, "My Qi and Blood surged injuring my meridians while fighting the ghost, I can't run far. I'll stay here; maybe I can act as bait."

Lian Bing followed, "I'm about the same, I'll stay here. Hope I won't get in your way."

Seeing this, Shen Qing did not say anything further.

He stood in place, breathing slowly, until his body was in optimal condition.

The mountain forest was silent but for the occasional unwilling cries of insects and birds.

A faint scent of blood drifted from the forest.

In the distance, the sounds of the tiger demon grew closer.

Lian Bing and his round-faced senior brother's hearts leaped into their throats, their eyes fixed on the direction of the tiger demon.

A heavy and rhythmic sound of tiger steps reverberated through the forest.

Rustling.

A massive figure pushed the trees and thorns aside.

Suddenly, an intense pressure rolled forth.

Lian Bing and his round-faced senior brother saw the tiger demon's true form and it was as if their throats were gripped, rendering them speechless.

Their hearts pounded like war drums, beating incessantly in their ears.

It was huge!

The tiger's size was as enormous as an ox, with large, copper-bell-like eyes full of feral wildness.

At this time, Shen Qing had already pushed the Dragon Roar Armor to the extreme, the membrane covering his entire body becoming increasingly translucent and shiny.

Under the sunlight, it emitted bits of gloss, looking as though he was clad in a transparent armor.

Suddenly, a breeze swept through the mountain forest.

Shen Qing looked up and saw the tiger demon, its body pierced full of arrows, and a trace of unnoticeable joy appeared on his face.

"Unexpectedly, this tiger demon brought back all the arrows. It's no easy task to find arrows in such a vast forest."

Despite its massive size, the tiger demon appeared extremely agile.

Its lower half twisted a few times amongst the trees before it easily disentangled itself, standing fully before Shen Qing.

The tiger demon fixed its gaze on Shen Qing, baring its fangs and speaking in human words, "Out of all these days, you're the first to injure me. You have a wonderful and strong aroma on you. To thank you specially, I've decided to lick your flesh off piece by piece."

As it spoke, the tiger demon opened its bloody maw, revealing its barbed tongue and licking its face.

"Oh, a talking tiger, truly the first I've seen." Shen Qing suddenly spoke.

The tiger demon was slightly taken aback, the fear or plea for mercy it expected did not happen.

Shen Qing's words momentarily left it at a loss for what to say.

At this moment, Shen Qing looked upon the tiger demon, a corner of his mouth lifted in a calm and indifferent smile, as he took step by step forward.

Suddenly, his pace quickened, the muscle in his outstretched right arm rapidly swelling.

Accompanied by a fierce whooshing sound, Shen Qing's hand suddenly jabbed toward the tiger demon...
