Chapter 2918: The Mystery of the Holy Beast

Mo Hua’s expression turned cold, and he said, "Block them!"

Lugu obeyed at once. His Golden Core Power surged and shook as he urged the Demon Bone Cutting Knife, slashing toward that Third Grade Dangling Eyes Fierce Tiger.

A Late Golden Core Stage General and a Third Grade Middle Phase ferocious tiger were locked in a clash in an instant.

Chi Feng and the other thirty-some Golden Cores likewise activated the Magic Treasures of the Barbarian Tribes, and joined battle with the other dozen crazed female Tiger Demons.

On the mountaintop, foul wind howled for a time, demonic power surging to the heavens.

The leading Third Grade Dangling Eyes Fierce Tiger was locked in fierce combat with Lugu. Man and tiger fought until the Mountain Stone shattered; neither yielded an inch, both their flesh already torn and damaged.

The Dangling Eyes Fierce Tiger, though an extremely ferocious beast—

Yet Lugu was a General of the Barbarian Tribes, cultivating the Barbarian Body Refinement Techniques. His body was enormous, firm as an Iron Corpse, and just as fearless and valiant.

Their struggle did not look like man versus tiger, but rather like two Monster Beasts fighting for their lives amidst the mountains.

Thus they battled for a hundred rounds.

Within the cave, that ancient and mysterious aura suddenly grew ever more intense.

The Third Grade Dangling Eyes Fierce Tiger caught the scent of it, and its desire flared even more. Its entire demonic power rose like boiling tidal waves; the blood in its eyes almost seemed about to drip out, and within that blood, there was actually Evil Qi mixed in.

Within the Evil Qi were condensed the lives it had slain and devoured.

These lives were like Ghost Servants, refined by it into Evil Qi, condensed in its eyes.

Even Lugu, that Late Golden Core Stage General who had fought his way out of Corpse Mountain and blood seas, when he unintentionally met this tiger’s gaze, his Heart Spirit was intimidated by its "tiger evil ferocity." In his heart he seemed to suffer a tiger devouring his body, and actually gave rise to fear.

Taking advantage of Lugu’s moment of fear, the Dangling Eyes Fierce Tiger tore a paw into his chest, ripping open his Barbarian Armor and carving out five bloody claw marks.

Lugu was also struck by the remaining force and sent flying directly.

The Dangling Eyes Fierce Tiger did not continue to pursue and kill Lugu, but turned its head and lunged toward the mountaintop.

In the cave at the mountaintop, Mo Hua’s Big Tiger was in the midst of a breakthrough, its aura growing ever stronger.

And this Third Grade Dangling Eyes Fierce Tiger seemed to have been waiting precisely for this moment.

For this moment, it had endured and waited for a very, very long time, waiting until it was nearly driven mad. Now that it had finally waited it out, how could it not go insane for it?

But before the mountaintop, a thin figure still stood, blocking its way.

Mo Hua.

Judging from the strength of flesh, this was a very "weak" human.

So weak that a single slap of a tiger’s claw could pulp him into mince; a single bite could swallow him whole, skin and bone together.

Ordinarily, that was indeed how it would be.

But this Third Grade Dangling Eyes Fierce Tiger harbored a deep apprehension toward Mo Hua.

Instinctively, it sensed that within this frail fleshly body was sealed some terrible existence. That aura of majesty and authority was such that even the Dangling Eyes Fierce Tiger, a King of Demons, dared not take him lightly.

He looked like one slap could kill him.

Yet the Dangling Eyes Fierce Tiger did not dare to strike.

It did not dare truly lay hands on Mo Hua, and only wished to pass him by, charge into the cave, and seek the "opportunity" it had long yearned for.

But when this Third Grade Dangling Eyes Fierce Tiger was only seven or eight zhang from Mo Hua, body like a raging gale, when with one more leap it could burst into the cave—

The depths of Mo Hua’s eyes suddenly flared with black, white, and gold.

A terrifying majesty not belonging to a "human" surged forth from him.

His sharp Divine Thought condensed into golden light, shooting from the depths of his eyes straight into the eyes of the Third Grade Dangling Eyes Fierce Tiger, breaking the blood within them, as well as those tiger evil resentful Ghost Servant-like souls.

The Third Grade Dangling Eyes Fierce Tiger’s tiger brain was wracked with pain at once, and a shrill roar tore through the mountain forest.

It clutched at its eyes, endured the agony, rolled on the ground three or four times; its paws shattered the earth, its tail swept and broke the Mountain Stone.

Only when the pain eased slightly did it slowly crawl back up. Blood dripped from its tiger eyes as it looked at Mo Hua with hatred, but its gaze was lowered; it did not quite dare meet his eyes.

Its Demon Spirit had been damaged; the pain pierced into its brain. Before Mo Mian, hatred and fear tangled together.

Mo Hua had already showed mercy.

Just at this time, influenced by the tiger’s evil, Lugu, whose chest had been torn open in a bloody gash, felt his pain intensify, and his consciousness returned.

The wound on his chest was also slowly healing.

Monster Beasts were many in the Barbaric Wilderness, and the Cultivation of techniques was tightly bound with "demons."

Thus the Cultivators here, especially outstanding Barbarian Cultivators like Lugu, were in many cases not far from being "half Monster Beasts."

His chest had been ripped open by the tiger’s claws, yet in not too long a time, the injury was actually visibly and slowly knitting shut.

As the wound on Lugu’s chest healed, his massive body slowly stood before Mo Hua, like a guard, his gaze cold and keenly fixed on the Dangling Eyes Fierce Tiger.

The Dangling Eyes Fierce Tiger’s eyes were icy; it lowered its head and growled, yet dared make no other move.

Mo Hua said to Lugu, evenly, "Hold this place. If these Tiger Demons dare to force their way again, there’s no need to hold back..."

A flash of sharpness flickered in Mo Hua’s eyes. "...Kill them all."

Lugu answered in a deep voice, "Yes."

The Dangling Eyes Fierce Tiger still howled and bellowed.

Mo Hua said nothing more, turning and returning into the cave.

Inside the cave, the Big Tiger had already begun its breakthrough.

Monster Qi like mist, yet also like blood, congealed around the cave. As the Monster Qi surged like flowing blood, the entire cave seemed like the heart of a Monster Beast.

And the flesh of the Monster Beast, its veins intertwined and complex. Most conspicuous among them was a single "pure white" Bloodline.

The ancient and mysterious aura came precisely from this white Bloodline.
