BXBX NOVEL Chapter 402 Flaming Tiger
The king of the hundred-beast forest was a strong, enormous tiger. It was covered with searing-hot flames. Even tertiary formation cultivators could not take it down very easily. It was called a flaming tiger.
With its ferocity and strength far greater compared to every other beast in the forest, it was given the title of the king.
There were some earth solid realm cultivators who had come here for the flaming tiger, but it was too clever. It could conceal its existence without being caught.
Due to that, it had a stable existence in the forest, exercising its authority towards other lowly beasts.
This was what Bai Chen knew from his future memories.
Bai Chen’s future self had not gotten to do this mission, so he did not come here for the flaming tiger. That was why he did not know anything more about it.
“Even though other cultivators don’t know where the flaming tiger is, I do,” Bai Chen muttered softly. The green guiding arrow was leading him, of course, so he knew where the tiger was.
Bai Chen still continued to walk deeper into the forest, following the green arrow.
There were not a great many nascent and foundation realm cultivators anymore as he proceeded deeper. There were only formation realm cultivators around. Bai Chen also met an earth solid realm cultivator!
He was a middle-aged man with a fairly emaciated face. He was covered with a strong qi aura.
The middle-aged man was engaged in a fierce fight with a tertiary formation beast.
Bai Chen only watched from afar before continuing. He did not have time to waste since he had something to do.
Without Bai Chen knowing, the earth solid realm cultivator actually stopped fighting the beast and turned to steal a glance at Bai Chen. However, that was it. He did not care about Bai Chen at all.
It took Bai Chen a long time after that for him to reach the deepest part of the forest. The cries of the beasts were endless and echoed throughout the forest.
In front of him was a big cave. Its entrance was huge. The inside was pitch-black. He could not see anything.
“It’s here,” Bai Chen said softly.
The green arrow had led him here. It seemed the king of the forest was here.
Bai Chen’s face turned serious. His hand sparkled—the flying sword appeared in his hand.
The flaming tiger was not an animal that would be easy for him to take down. It was necessary for him to be prepared since it was going to be a life-or-death fight. He could not underestimate it whatsoever.
If he did, not only he would not be able to kill it, but he could also die!
“Flaming tiger, here I come.” Bai Chen inhaled deeply and stepped into the cave.
Inside the cave, it was dark. It was difficult to see.
However, it was not really a problem for Bai Chen since he could tell the direction from the heat that blew past him.
He knew right away where the flaming tiger was.
Bai Chen walked carefully and slowly. The path inside was twisted and bumpy. If he was not careful, he could fall down.
“Grrrrr!”
Suddenly, a loud roar sounded. The cave walls seemed to tremble a bit as a result of the sound.
Immediately after he heard the roar, Bai Chen stopped walking. His eyes widened a little when he saw a large blazing mass of flames leaping towards him.
Inside that mass of red flames was a tiger. Its eyes were crimson red. The flames were terrifying.
“The flaming tiger!” Bai Chen’s hand tightened around the flying sword without him knowing. His hearted tensed up for a second. He began to think about how to deal with the beast.
However, the tiger did not give him time to think. It leapt towards Bai Chen with malicious intent. The flames around it wavered. It was truly searing-hot.
The air around him was a little twisted because of the heat.
The flaming tiger’s eyes were shining with an intent to kill. Its killing aura was emitted from its gigantic flaming body.
It had been sleeping. It did not expect anyone to dare trespass onto the cave that it resided in like this.
How could it not be angry? When it got angry, there must be deaths. Otherwise, there was no way its emotions would return to normal.
Due to that, it was only normal for it to have this much intent to kill Bai Chen.
Bai Chen’s face changed colour after seeing that the tiger was increasing its speed. He stopped thinking and slashed the flying sword out in a straight line. Silver qi leapt out from the sword and towards between the spot between the eyebrows of the flaming tiger.
The flaming tiger’s eyes shone with utter malice. Its heart roared with rage. It did not expect that the human in front of it would be brave enough to launch a counterattack against it.
It thought that the only cultivators who would be able to retaliate against it were those at earth solid level and above. A man at the tertiary formation level like Bai Chen should not have the right to do so.
This thought showed that for the flaming tiger, Bai Chen was nothing. It truly believed that it could finish Bai Chen in a single blow!
The tiger’s eyes shone with both rage and utter disdain.
Before the silver qi from Bai Chen’s sword hit the tiger, it raised its flame-covered foreleg up and slammed it at the silver qi very calmly.
However, at that very moment, its facial expression changed. It pulled its foreleg back quickly, while flipping itself backward.
Slash!
The silver qi sliced into the cave wall. It left a terrifying rift!
“Grrrrrrr!” The flaming tiger roared out. No one knew how it was feeling at the time.
However, it was obvious that it’d flipped back because it could sense a grave danger from Bai Chen’s silver qi!
