Chapter Fourteen: The Struggle Between the Python and the Tiger

  Xu Hua secretly hid to the side and quietly extracted the life essence from the bodies of the two demonic beasts, while these two demonic beasts seemed to have gone mad, constantly roaring at each other. However, the body of a fourth-stage demonic beast was extremely powerful, and Xu Hua's speed in extracting its life essence was slowed down to an extreme degree. He could only quickly absorb the life essence from their bodies after they died.

  "Although you have the true dragon bloodline, your current strength is damaged. Even if I couldn't kill you, I could seriously injure you. However, I would also definitely be seriously injured by you. I don't want to benefit other demon beasts in the end."

  The Bi Huo Jiao glared at it with a pair of dragon eyes, and whispered in its mouth, "It seems that you are still afraid! That's right, our Jiao Long clan is not something that your kind can compare to! Although my strength has been greatly damaged, I am confident that I can kill you! My purpose this time is not for you, let me pass, otherwise I will tear you apart!"

  ROAR!!!!!

  "You really think you can bully me to your heart's content, do you think I'm afraid of you? It just so happens that although dragon meat isn't as nourishing as true dragon meat, I believe that after eating you, I'll be able to break through to the fifth rank in less than 50 years!" The Shocking Tiger was truly unable to endure it any longer. Since this dragon was so overbearing, then fortunately this time he would kill it, eat its meat and drink its blood - it would definitely be a great tonic!

  "I'd like to eat your grandfather, watch me tear you apart!" The dragon finished speaking and took action, its long tail fiercely whipping towards Shocking Tiger.

  BOOM!!!

  Zhen Tian Hu's paw struck the dragon's tail, sending it flying back. Zhen Tian Hu felt a slight numbness in his front paws, and at this moment, although the dragon's strength had been greatly reduced, its body was still at its peak, with an intensity that surpassed his own. As a great demon who had lived for hundreds of years, how could he really engage in a fierce battle with the dragon? He continued to dodge the dragon's attacks, planning to exhaust the dragon's physical and magical strength.

  Rumble! Rumble! Rumble!

  The dragon's full-strength sweep of its tail directly broke off several large trees around it that were over a dozen zhang tall.

  Xu Hua hid in the distance, watching the two demons fight each other. However, the commotion of their battle was too great, and the explosive sounds of their clashes made Xu Hua need to cover his ears. As he watched their exchange, he felt that every claw, tail, pounce, and bite seemed extraordinary, with an inexplicable profundity, similar to human martial arts, which could make them burst out with even stronger combat power. Watching, watching, Xu Hua seemed to be entranced by it.

  As they fought on, the dragon also realized that its opponent was depleting its own strength. Suddenly, it felt a surge of anger in its heart, but before it could express it, it thought better of it and decided to turn the tables by secretly striking back at the demon tiger with all its might!

  On the surface, Jiaolong continued to attack vigorously, consuming a lot of physical strength, while Zhentianhu was dodging and parrying, except for looking a bit disheveled, without much consumption. In secret, Jiaolong quietly activated his own demon core, planning to use it to kill Zhentianhu in one move at the critical moment.

  A thunder-like explosion sound kept spreading far away, causing a large-scale riot of demonic beasts within dozens of miles, constantly running outwards.

  "As expected, you're just a cat-like person who only knows how to run. You dare to block my way? You really don't know what's good for you! Even if you manage to escape this time, your whole life will be doomed to have no achievements."

  As expected, the tiger was enraged upon hearing this. The mud man still had three fires left, let alone this ferocious beast! However, it had always been cautious until now, and it couldn't hold back anymore, releasing its brutal aura in all directions.

  "I want you dead!"

  This time, facing the iron tail of the Jiaolong, the Shentianhu did not retreat, but instead grasped the Jiaolong's tail with its two front paws and slammed it to the ground again and again. Even the Jiaolong's body, which was as hard as copper and iron, was dazed by the impact. The softer parts of its body were even scraped raw, bleeding. Feeling the intense pain, the Bi Huo Jiaolong could no longer bear it, and a dragon inner pellet struck the Shentianhu without warning.

  Wow!!!

  The strongest blow from the dragon directly blasted a huge hole in the body of the Shocking Tiger, blood splashing everywhere, and the tiger's roar shook the sky! The immense pain made it impossible for it to grasp the dragon's tail again. The dragon escaped, but just as the tiger was about to retrieve its magic dan, the tiger suddenly grabbed it with a vicious claw!

  Hoooaaaaah!!!!!

  The dragon finally felt fear, the worst thing had happened, the demon pill was its source of power, and half of its power was contained within the demon pill. If the demon pill were to be damaged, the loss would be too great for it to bear. If the demon pill were to be destroyed, it would be difficult for him to take another step forward in this life!

  "Jing Tian Hu, return my Yao Dan and I will leave immediately!" The Jiao Long finally softened, but it underestimated Jing Tian Hu.

  "Roar! Jiaolong, you've hurt me so badly, do you think it's possible for you to back down now?" Zhen Ti Hu swallowed the demon pill in his paw and then sneered: "Hehe, I was humiliated by you today, do you think I'll let you off? I'm going to eat you up bit by bit!"

  The Jiaolong watched as the Shen Tianhu swallowed its demon pill, and at that moment, its heart sank to the bottom of the valley. The worst thing had happened, and this time it was really finished. It was all because of that human; if not for him, things wouldn't have been so miserable. The Jiaolong wanted to kill that human, but he must have long since fled. Now, there was nothing left but to kill the Shen Tianhu to vent its anger.

  Tweet!

  The Jiaolong disregarded everything and tightly entwined the Zhentian Tiger, wanting to rely on brute force to tear it apart.

  Rumble!

  Two enormous demonic beasts were entwined together, constantly colliding. The demonic tiger was being strangled tightly by the dragon, almost unable to breathe. Finally, it bit down on the dragon with its razor-sharp teeth, deeply embedding them in the dragon's flesh. A large amount of blood gushed out from the dragon, and the dragon increased its grip on the tiger due to the intense pain. The two demonic beasts remained locked in this stalemate for half an hour until the tiger finally died from exhaustion! At this moment, the Azure Fire Dragon was also in a miserable state, having lost a large amount of blood. It no longer had the strength to continue fighting.

  Just as the crocodile thought it was finally safe, a small figure appeared in front of it, and it was Xuhua.

  The dragon glared with wide eyes, as if saying, "You actually didn't leave, but instead hid on the side watching the good show. I never thought that I, the mighty dragon, would die at your hands! I refuse to accept it!!! I refuse..."

  Xu Hua stepped forward and punched the Jiaolong's head fiercely, until his fists were bleeding. Only then did the Jiaolong die. Looking at the dead Jiaolong, Xu Hua sneered, "If you want to blame someone, blame yourself for being too arrogant. Hehe, now these two demon beast bodies are a bargain for me!"

  After resolving the Jiaolong, Xu Hua let out a deep sigh. The past five days of running had been a huge blow to his spirit. Now that the crisis was over, he couldn't help but lie down on the body of the Shocking Heaven Tiger and fall asleep. As for safety concerns, with the lingering aura of these two powerful demons, no other demonic beasts dared to approach within tens of miles, so he didn't worry at all and slept very soundly.

  The next day, after a night's rest, Xu Hua was full of energy and spirit, and first practiced the "True Dragon Body Fist Method". Then he decided to cut off a piece of dragon meat to fill his belly. However, no matter how Xu Hua tried, he couldn't tear open the dragon's scales. Finally, he took out the dragon-patterned sword from the spatial ring. Xu Hua held the dragon-patterned sword and lightly slashed at the dragon's scales, and to his surprise, a shallow sword mark appeared on the scales that had left him helpless.

  Xu Hua was overjoyed, the spiritual tool did not disappoint, so he added a few more points of force, and the incredibly hard scales were actually cut open, the python's blood dripped onto the ground, forming a small pool of blood, Xu Hua felt it was such a waste!

  Xu Hua roasted the Jiaolong meat over an open flame, and after eating a few pieces, he felt a warm current flowing into his body, making him feel very comfortable. The most important thing for demon beasts is their demonic body, which contains a huge amount of energy, equivalent to a spiritual medicine for warriors.

  As more and more energy was released within Xuhua's body, his complexion became rosier than ever. This energy was truly formidable; to think that this was just a small piece of the Jiaolong's body, yet it possessed such power - who knew how many times more powerful the entire dragon would be?

  To better digest the energy in the dragon meat, Xu Hua started practicing the True Dragon Body Fist again. Indeed, he felt his physical strength increasing faster, and believed that at this rate, he would be fully recovered within three months at most.

  After practicing the "True Dragon Body Fist" several times, Xu Hua started practicing the "Dragon Elephant Fist", with one after another spiritual energy elephant shapes flying around, and his internal true qi was boiling like a cauldron.

  BOOM!!!

  Xu Hua's true energy continued to condense, like a hundred rivers flowing into the sea, pouring into his dantian. However, he still hadn't condensed out the eighty-first drop of true liquid. After his true energy calmed down, Xu Hua began to collect these two great demons. He first dug up the Shocking Heaven Tiger and took out the demon core from its body.

  A golden elixir the size of a fist was shining with a faint light in Xu Hua's hand, and he could feel that it contained a huge amount of energy. The energy was so great that if it were to be detonated, even if he didn't die, he would still be crippled. At the same time, he couldn't help but sigh that if the Jiaolong elixir was still there, its energy would definitely be much greater than the Shocking Heaven Tiger elixir in his hand.

  Wow!

  Xu Hua suddenly thought that the Heaven-shaking Tiger died shortly after swallowing the Jiaolong Yao Dan, and it was possible that the Jiaolong Yao Dan was still in its body and had not been digested. Xu Hua immediately dissected the Heaven-shaking Tiger's demon corpse again, and finally saw a golden light-emitting Jiaolong Yao Dan in its esophagus. Holding the Jiaolong Yao Dan in his hand, Xu Hua was very excited, this was a Jiaolong's demon dan that was about to break through the fourth rank!

  He put the two demon pellets into the spatial ring, and Xu Hua began to cut off the usable things from the bodies of the two big demons and store them in the spatial ring, such as the dragon scales of Jiaolong, the tiger skin, tiger claws of Zhentian Tiger. Xu Hua also cut the flesh of Jiaolong into pieces and stored it in the spatial ring. As for Zhentian Tiger, he was not so lucky, being completely transformed into life energy by Xu Hua using the "Devouring Life Technique".

  Just as Xu Hua was about to leave, a loud fighting sound came from the west. Xu Hua looked up and wondered, "Is it a battle between monsters or human warriors?"

  "Let's go and take a look!" With that, Xu Hua headed westward.
