Chapter 9: Qi Gathering Realm, Red Tiger Demon

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Two demonic beasts appeared suddenly, and they were charging straight for him. This was not normal.

This was the outer area of the Great Black Mountain. There were not many demonic beasts to begin with. Moreover, most demonic beasts had their own sense of territory. Only a few demonic beasts would group up.

Now, two demonic beasts were moving together and heading straight for him. This was not normal.

However, Lin Feng did not have time to think. In the blink of an eye, the two demonic beasts entered his line of sight. After that, roars rang out as they launched their attacks at the same time.

Lin Feng furrowed his brows. He slashed instantly with the long saber.

Bang! Bang!

In the blink of an eye, the two demonic beasts were once again beheaded.

In the distance, the team member who had just driven the two demonic beasts over with great effort widened his eyes once again. He was surprised and his eyes flashed.

“Good lord, both of them were killed in seconds?”

After that, he seemed challenged by Lin Feng. He turned and disappeared.

Hence, just as Lin Feng collected symbols of the two demonic beasts, another commotion rang out. There was no time for Lin Feng to catch his breath.

Lin Feng’s brows twitched. He had realized something. Someone was intentionally driving the demonic beasts here.

However, it was obvious that the other party had no ill intentions. If they really had ill intentions, then this second wave of demonic beasts would not have arrived just in time.

This person was helping him in a way. Now, he did not have to slowly hunt the demonic beasts.

In fact, if this continued, he might even be able to gather enough contribution points to buy qi condensation treasures.

Regarding level nine beasts, the goldbiter rat he had killed earlier was considered an early level nine beast. After taking away the symbol on its body, the pair of fangs, he could exchange it for a few contribution points at the school or at the trading company.

Intermediate-stage was two points, an advanced-stage beast was five points, and a complete level nine beast was ten points.

If it was the Qi Gathering Realm, it would be even higher. The starting point would be 20 points.

Right now, Lin Feng was worried about how long it would take to gather enough contribution points to purchase treasures for qi condensation.

After all, while he was powerful and could easily kill level nine monsters, he would need to kill quite a lot of them.

Demonic beasts were not stupid, and they would not offer themselves up for the kill.

If one ventured deep into the forest, there would be many beasts, but killing them would not be as easy as killing a level nine beast. It was possible to encounter level eight or even level seven beasts, which were only a match for those in the Foundation Establishment Realm or Core Formation Realm.

Now though, it was all good. This had saved Lin Feng a lot of trouble.

Someone was driving monsters to him and they were all level nine monsters that suited his tier.

Hence, after that, Lin Feng just stayed in that same spot. He would kill a wave of demonic beasts. Then, he would rest. Not long after, a second and third wave would come.

He was simply waiting for opportunities to strike.

In the beginning, there was only one early level nine monstrous beast. Later, the number increased, and the level of the monstrous beasts also increased.

Of course, although all were not completely the same, they were close enough.

Not long after, the corpses of over ten demonic beasts had already piled up in the area around Lin Feng.

There was the level nine early-stage goldbiter rat he had killed at the very beginning, as well as the complete level nine leopard bear he had just killed.

Lin Feng kept all the spoils of his fights. He did a quick calculation and found that he had 100 contribution points.

In other words, today’s spoils were enough to buy a drop of spiritual liquid condensed by a Core Formation cultivator to make a qi condensation treasure.

However, Lin Feng did not plan to leave yet. He was still catching his breath and preparing to welcome the next wave of demonic beasts.

In any case, there was someone helping him. He only needed to wait in place. He had nothing much else to do.

However, at this moment, behind a big tree not far away from him, Yang Yang, a member of the monster slayer team, was panting, his expression dark.

“Invincible against level nine beasts?”

From an early-stage level nine to a perfect-stage level nine, Lin Feng comfortably killed them all. If this was not considered invincible, what was?

The most crucial point was that at the very start, Lin Feng was clearly still a little rusty in his combat. He had relied more on his brute strength to kill the demonic beasts.

Later on, though, Lin Feng’s technique had improved. He could even instantly kill a complete level nine demonic beast, the leopard bear.

Yang Yang was so shocked that he was speechless. “He’s really an excellent candidate for our team of monster slayers!”

Then, Yang Yang took out the walkie-talkie.

“Boss, this student is ferocious. I’m convinced!”

He was truly convinced. He was at the early stage of the Qi Gathering Realm, the kind that had just broken through. Moreover, he had the worst D-grade talent, and driving these monsters to Lin Feng had already exhausted him.

He was so tired that he was panting.

He was really convinced this time.

At first, he had been a bit spiteful and had wanted to challenge him. In the end, Lin Feng was completely fine, apart from being exhausted.

Yang Yang quickly explained the situation.

The captain’s reply came through the walkie-talkie.

“Not bad, he’s a good prospect. Let’s regroup first!”

“Roger that!”

When Yang Yang heard the captain’s order to retreat, he heaved a sigh of relief.

However, after turning off the walkie-talkie, Yang Yang suddenly felt goosebumps all over her body.

Roar!

A beast’s roar rang out. Before Yang Yang could see the shadow of the beast, he saw a fireball falling from overhead.

His expression changed and he began to retreat frantically.

Boom!

In the next second, the spot he had just been was instantly set aflame by the fireball, and the raging flames instantly grew.

“A level eight red tiger demon? ”

Yang Yang’s expression changed drastically. He retreated quickly while shouting.

“Little guy, run!”

He did not expect that a Qi Gathering Realm tier beast would emerge just as he was about to leave.

He swore that he did not lure this beast here on purpose. It probably pursued them of its own accord.

The fact that so many demonic beasts were killed here must have drawn the attention of the red tiger demon.

This was a level eight monster, and it was even stronger than him. This red tiger demon was born with a fire-attribute spiritual root, and spitting out flames was its specialty.

If he was stronger, he might be able to put up a fight. However, right now, he could only run for his life.

Boom!

A raging fire was ignited behind him.

His escape route was blocked.

Yang Yang turned around and was shocked to find the red tiger demon staring at him with its huge eyes. It looked at him with awareness, like it was trying to tease him.

The red tiger demon was in front of Yang Yang, and flames were burning brightly in two other directions. He could only head toward Lin Feng.

However, he did not even consider that. He immediately drew out the low-grade spiritual weapon longsword and faced the red tiger demon.

“Evil creature, do you really think you’ve got me?”

He was also a demon slayer and a military cultivator. He resolutely chose to face the red tiger demon head-on.

Even though he knew that he was no match for it, he did not want to risk Lin Feng’s safety. He was only a student and he would not lead the demon to him.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

In an instant, Yang Yang and the red tiger demon were entangled in a battle.

He had only just entered the Qi Gathering Realm, so the use of spiritual qi spells might not be very effective. However, attaching spiritual qi to weapons could also increase combat power.

He was facing a red tiger demon after all. Moreover, it was not an early-stage level eight monster, but at least an intermediate-stage level eight being.

Not only did the red tiger demon have the strange ability to swallow and spit fireballs, but it also had a pair of fangs, four limbs, and a tail.

In just a few moves, Yang Yang was at an absolute disadvantage.

Bang!

After another collision, Yang Yang was sent flying backward and he crashed into a large tree. The tree itself broke in two.

He spat out a large mouthful of blood, and there was a bloody hole in his thigh.

The wound had been caused by the fangs of the red tiger demon.

Yang Yang’s leg was injured and he only had a slim chance of escaping.

However, he still did not give up. The spiritual longsword trembled in his grasp, and he prepared to launch an attack.

Roar!

The red tiger demon let out another roar that reverberated through the forest. It launched its final attack, wanting to deliver the kill.

However, just as Yang Yang was about to fight to the death, the shadow of a blade flashed.
