Chapter 7: Death hangs by a thread
Under the towering ancient trees that covered the sky and the sun, among the swaying branches, a vigorous figure flew in the jungle, the huge body rampaged, the thick branches clicked and broken, with the collision of this figure, the whole ground was trembling violently, as if a huge earthquake was brewing.
Only a muffled "bang" was heard, and the opponent's huge body fell to the ground like a boulder, and cracks spread from the soles of its feet.
After this demon beast landed, its pair of blood-red pupils flashing with a demonic light stared at Mu Xian motionlessly, its mouth was slightly open, and there was even a ball of monster fur hanging on its sharp fangs, even if it was more than ten meters away, Mu Xian could smell the rich smell of blood on the other party's body, and his nose was extremely choking.
This demon beast is more than three meters tall, half a body taller than Mu Xian, and it stands in front of Mu Xian, like a majestic mountain, giving Mu Xian a great sense of oppression.
"Flame Demon Tiger, damn it, how can there be a Flame Demon Tiger here?" After recognizing the origin of the demon beast in front of him, Mu Xian's pupils shrank, and his mood became extremely heavy.
The Flame Demon Tiger is a third-order demon beast, equivalent to the existence of a human True Yuan Realm martial artist, and Mu Xian is now just a high-level cultivator of the Flesh Realm, and the gap between this is simply difficult to make up.
Mu Xian naturally knew how the Flame Demon Tiger could find him.
When he was in great pain before, Mu Xian almost had blood all around his body, and the demon beasts in the jungle couldn't be stimulated by blood the most.
When Mu Xian first entered the jungle, he was still walking on thin ice and being careful everywhere, but after taking the potion prepared by the iron wood forest leaves, he had no time to care about it.
Mu Xian had wondered why there were no demon beasts in a radius of hundreds of meters around this dead ancient tree, but now when he saw the Flame Demon Tiger appear, he completely understood.
As the king of the jungle, the Flame Demon Tiger naturally no demon beast dared to step into its territory at will.
"Is this considered happiness and sorrow?" Seeing the Flame Demon Tiger looking at him with a playful gaze, a wry smile appeared on the corner of Mu Xian's mouth.
While Mu Xian was still thinking about how to deal with the Flame Demon Tiger, the Flame Demon Tiger's mouth opened and let out an earth-shattering roar.
Immediately, the huge body of the Flame Demon Tiger swooped towards Mu Xian like a cannonball, and its huge body gave Mu Xian a sense of suffocating oppression.
"Beast, you really think I'm afraid of you!" Mu Xian was still hesitating whether to fight or flee, but when he saw the Flame Demon Tiger fighting without declaring a war, the anger in his heart was suddenly stirred.
"If you were a human monk, maybe I would run as far as I could, but you dare to bully me with a single animal, do you think I am muddy?"
In the face of the fierce pounce of the Flame Demon Tiger, Mu Xian not only did not have any intention of retreating, but instead dived down and pounced directly towards the Flame Demon Tiger.
Almost in the blink of an eye, Mu Xian's body appeared directly below the Flame Demon Tiger, and the sharp black iron sword in his hand quickly stabbed into the softest part of the Flame Demon Tiger's belly.
Although Mu Xian was an elixir master in his previous life, he also did not give up the cultivation of martial arts, and the cultivation of martial arts and spiritual power always went hand in hand.
After all, in the process of cultivating spiritual power, because of the transformation and nourishment of spiritual power, the physical strength of the spiritual master will be improved and increased to a certain extent, and such physical strength is enough to allow him to skillfully use the spiritual power in his body in battle or cultivation, without being unbearable.
It's just that slowly, everyone can't calm down, although Mu Xian is a dual cultivation of spirit and martial arts, but his cultivation speed is no slower than those who practice martial arts alone or practice spirit alone, and Mu Xian's combat power can be described as metamorphosis, he can not only challenge people who are higher than himself in the same level, but even challenge spirit masters who are higher than himself.
The phenomenon that happened to Mu Xian immediately attracted the attention of many old monsters, and after they studied it carefully, they finally came to a conclusion that martial arts cultivation is more conducive to improving physical strength, and the higher the physical strength, the more spiritual power can be stored in the tendons, and naturally both the cultivation speed and combat effectiveness will increase greatly.
Mu Xian's inadvertent behavior triggered a huge revolution in the cultivation world, which not only greatly improved the status of martial artists, but also created a new era of spirituality.
Mu Xian had already tasted the sweetness of spiritual and martial dual cultivation in his previous life, and in this life, he naturally would not give up the path of martial cultivation and specialize in spiritual power, so after seeing the Flame Demon Tiger, he was itchy for a while, so he showed the sword steps that he was extremely familiar with in his previous life.
Sword step is a special body type of martial arts, sensing the existence of the sword, with the swing of the sword, step out of the most suitable footwork for the sword move, the higher the sword accomplishment, the more exquisite the sword step.
The sword step is practiced to the subtlety, and when you step out, the air around you collapses, and it evolves into a sharp edge like a blow, which is quite arrow-ready and ready to attack, so there is also a saying that the arrow step.
In his previous life, Mu Xian not only used sword steps to cultivate martial arts and enhance his physical body, but also became more accustomed to fighting with it.
The Flame Demon Tiger obviously didn't expect that a weak human would dare to challenge its majesty, and its bloody mouth suddenly opened in a rage, and a thunderous roar roared out of its mouth, causing the air to stir.
At the same time, the huge and sharp giant palm of the Flame Demon Tiger also tore through the air and slapped heavily on Mu Xian's back.
Shen Nian swept to the giant palm that slapped his back, Mu Xian's brows furrowed slightly, if he allowed the giant claws to slap on his body, although he could severely damage the Flame Demon Tiger, he would definitely be torn to pieces by the sharp claws of the Flame Demon Tiger.
Mu Xian didn't want to trade his life for the opportunity to severely damage the Flame Demon Tiger, his steps changed, and the sword in his hand also turned into a thorn, slashing at the Flame Demon Tiger's claws from behind.
Only a roar of "bell", "bell" and "bell" could be heard, and the cold blade of the black iron sword collided with the sharp claws of the Flame Demon Tiger that slapped Mu Xian's back.
A series of sparks burst out of mid-air, like brilliant fireworks bursting out of thin air.
"Not good, with his own strength, except for attacking the Achilles heel of the Flame Demon Tiger, attacking other places will not be able to cause any damage to the Flame Demon Tiger at all!" After feeling the hardness of the Flame Demon Tiger's claws, the direction of Mu Xian's feet changed strangely again, and he staggered a distance of several meters from the Flame Demon Tiger.
After the two sides regained their footing, Mu Xian's eyes were full of solemn looks, but the Flame Demon Tiger's cold gaze was filled with endless anger, and it seemed to feel humiliated and angry because it couldn't smash Mu Xian with one palm.
The Flame Demon Tiger opened its bloody mouth again, and then a roar that was enough to shatter the mountains and rivers rushed towards Mu Xian.
Invisible sound waves suddenly hit Mu Xian's body, causing Mu Xian's body to appear obviously stagnant, and even a feeling of dizziness appeared in his mind.
At the same time, the Flame Demon Tiger's legs widened, and the fiery red streamlined back was like a giant bow suddenly straightened, and its body swooped towards Mu Xian's direction like a mountain and a sea, and the scarlet pupils flashed with endless killing intent.
Where the Flame Demon Tiger's body passed, the forest collapsed with a bang.
"I actually know how to attack with a divine soul, this Flame Demon Tiger is definitely not an ordinary demon beast. Seeing that the Flame Demon Tiger's front paws were about to slap his head, Mu Xian's eyes suddenly flashed with annoyance, and then a bright smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, "Since you are unwilling to use your physical body to fight me in a dignified manner, don't blame me for being ruthless." ”
At the moment when the claws were about to fall, a strange light flashed in Mu Xian's eyes, and at the same time, his free left hand flicked slightly, and a little black powder shot out towards the Flame Demon Tiger in mid-air.
After being swept away by Mu Xian's gaze, the Flame Demon Tiger's eyes were momentarily dull, and although it regained its shrewdness in an instant, the time in the blink of an eye was enough for those black powders to shoot into its mouth.
After seeing the black powder fall into the mouth of the Flame Demon Tiger, Mu Xian took a sword step and staggered with the Flame Demon Tiger in the most incredible way.
The next moment, the furious body of the Flame Demon Tiger directly pierced through Mu Xian's afterimage, and slammed into a towering ancient tree, and the sharp claws directly smashed the thick trunk of the two of them into powder, and the towering ancient tree broke in response, and the sound of clicking was endless, causing a violent earthquake.
The Flame Demon Tiger was clearly unaware of what had just happened.
Two consecutive fierce attacks were dodged by Mu Xian, and the Flame Demon Tiger was completely enraged, its pupils were blood-red in color, and its roar also resounded in the sky, and its huge body like a mountain began to rampage, destroying countless ancient trees.
"You can't live if you do your own evil. Finding that the Flame Demon Tiger's attack was obviously out of order, a mocking smile appeared on the corner of Mu Xian's mouth.
In the face of the Flame Demon Tiger's more fierce attack, Mu Xian's face did not have the slightest look of panic or fear, but instead danced like a leisurely walk, and every time he narrowly avoided the killing of the Flame Demon Tiger.
At the same time, the black iron sword in Mu Xian's hand also affected the aura of heaven and earth from time to time, and sword shadows began to bloom in Mu Xian's hands.
Under the frantic killing of the Flame Demon Tiger, Mu Xian's body made extreme movements again and again, and the footwork under his feet slowly became like flowing water from the jerky at the beginning, and the sword shadow in his hand gradually increased, from the beginning of the three, three, two, two and two, to become extremely condensed.
Slowly, Mu Xian was completely immersed in this hearty battle, there was only the Flame Demon Tiger in his eyes, and there was nothing else, only the sword step under his feet in his heart, the sword was raised and raised, and the sword was closed, and the whole person entered a mysterious and mysterious realm.
