Chapter 506: The Tiger Emperor

Crack―

A tree, towering at thirty meters, was split in half by a furry black paw, and then a giant bear appeared in front of Qin Jun and the others.

The bear stood on its hind legs, covered in thick black fur, towering at ten meters high. Standing on the slope, it blocked Qin Jun and the others like an iron tower, emitting a fierce aura that made the surrounding flowers and grass sway uncontrollably.

At the sight of this demon bear, both Liu Ruolai and the cat girl couldn't help but shrink their necks.

For them, a fifth-rank demon beast was an absolute nightmare.

But in Qin Jun's eyes, it was just a small fry!

"Hmph! Dare to stop me, seeking death!"

Qin Jun raised his right hand, and his dragon energy surged, transforming into four golden dragon claws that fiercely attacked the demon bear.

The might of the four golden dragon claws made Liu Ruolai and the cat girl's eyes light up, while the demon bear was shocked and quickly spewed out terrifying demon power, raging towards the four golden dragon claws like a black light cannon.

With a loud bang!

The four golden dragon claws and the demon power light cannon collided, and in an instant, a burst of bright light erupted, causing the surrounding trees to be uprooted by the raging winds.

Qin Jun's lips curled up, and the four golden dragon claws roared, forcefully dispersing the demon power light cannon.

Then, the four golden dragon claws fiercely tore into the demon bear, piercing through its chest with a splatter of blood. The demon bear's pupils instantly contracted, filled with disbelief.

It couldn't believe it had been defeated so easily.

Liu Ruolai watched in astonishment, still unable to come to her senses.

To think that such a terrifying demon bear was defeated so quickly?

She had never imagined that a battle could be so effortless. This kind of demon beast was probably at least fifth-rank or higher, which sent chills down her spine, but also excited her.

Indeed, she had chosen the right person!

After defeating the demon bear, Qin Jun flew over its head.

Liu Ruolai subconsciously looked down and saw the demon bear still struggling, clearly not dead yet.

"Hey, it's not dead yet!" Liu Ruolai quickly reminded.

"Let it live, demon beasts that have reached the fifth rank have endured long years of cultivation," Qin Jun said calmly.

Unlike the spiritual nature of the human race, demon beasts' cultivation relied entirely on time accumulation, so among the same rank, demon beasts were stronger.

Liu Ruolai looked at Qin Jun in surprise, and as she saw his perfect profile, she suddenly felt that Qin Jun didn't seem as domineering and indifferent as he appeared on the surface.

However, Qin Jun indeed was.

After flying for several tens of miles, Qin Jun had already killed three fifth-rank demon beasts, and even reached eight fourth-rank demon beasts, making him smell a scent of conspiracy.

"What's going on? I feel like there's a mysterious force deliberately obstructing us," Qin Jun frowned.

Zhong Kui nodded, "These demon beasts clearly have organization, as if they know what we're up to."

Liu Ruolai dared not interrupt and could only listen obediently.

Qin Jun asked the cat girl, "Tell me why you came to the Eastern Flame Domain."

The cat girl didn't dare to hide anything and explained the whole story.

It turned out that they hadn't intended to come to the Eastern Flame Domain. Wang Yan arranged for a group of talented cat people to inherit the ancient relics of the cat people. Now that the Southern Domain was controlled by the Great Qin Heavenly Court, with Wang Yan's status, a word from him could make the sect forces withdraw from the ancient relics of the cat people.

Wang Xue and other talented cat people entered the relics to comprehend the inheritance of their ancestors. Unexpectedly, the relics suddenly shook and directly transported them to the Endless Domain.

To return, they began to collect spirit stones everywhere, hoping to activate the teleportation array again.

Qin Jun frowned as he listened, "Are you saying that there is a teleportation gate to the Southern Domain in the Endless Domain?"

The cat girl nodded.

"The Southern Domain? Great Qin Heavenly Court?"

Liu Ruolai blinked. She had heard of the Southern Domain's reputation, as it had become popular in the Eastern Flame Domain after being defeated by the Great Qin Emperor, causing the Southern Domain to rise to fame.

Could it be that Qin Jun came from the Southern Domain?

At the same time, Qin Jun and the others were getting closer to their destination.

"The young clan leader is in the cave ahead!" the cat girl pointed to the mountain peak emerging from the forest and said.

"Your Majesty, be careful, there are many demon beasts around, and there are even eighth-rank demon beasts!" Zhong Kui said in a deep voice, causing Liu Ruolai's face to pale.

Eighth-rank demon beasts!

Equivalent to the realm of true immortals, her father was only at the level of a celestial immortal.

She trembled with fear, muttering, "It's over, it's over..."

She had only heard of eighth-rank demon beasts in legends, and now they were lurking around, watching her with bated breath.

The thought made her shiver in fear.

Qin Jun swept his divine sense and indeed captured Wang Xue's aura in the mountain ahead.

Although the aura was weak, it did exist!

Qin Jun was overjoyed and quickly accelerated towards it.

"Roar―"

"Chirp―"

"Howl!"

Roars of beasts echoed from all around, followed by the emergence of colossal creatures from all directions. There were towering apes standing at ten zhang high, steel-feathered black eagles with a wingspan of a hundred meters, and monstrous pythons resembling dragons.

Countless low-level demonic beasts also surged forward like a tide, causing the entire forest to tremble under their weight.

"Your Majesty, please go ahead. Leave this to me!" Zhong Kui soared into the air and laughed, while Qin Jun nodded and swiftly flew towards the cave in the distance on a cloud. Due to the speed, Liu Ruolai and the cat-girl had to crawl on the clouds to keep up.

A monstrous python with a gaping maw lunged towards Qin Jun and the others, making the surrounding trees seem small in comparison.

Qin Jun remained focused, but Liu Ruolai and the two girls were terrified and screamed.

With a swoosh, a sword energy swept through and instantly tore the python into pieces, showering the area with blood like a violent rain.

Qin Jun and the others arrived at the foot of the mountain unscathed, and within the bushes halfway up the mountain, there was a cave.

The three quickly entered it.

The tunnel was dimly lit and winding, and soon they reached the end, where Qin Jun saw Wang Xue sitting on a huge rock, her silver hair cascading over her shoulders. Her stunning face was devoid of color, and her slightly furrowed brows tugged at Qin Jun's heartstrings.

Liu Ruolai gaped and murmured, "What a beautiful sister..."

"Young Clan Leader!" The cat-girl rushed towards Wang Xue, and Qin Jun also swiftly arrived in front of her.

Wang Xue's eyelashes trembled as she slowly opened her eyes, meeting Qin Jun's caring gaze.

"You... came..." Wang Xue spoke softly, as if every word was a struggle.

Qin Jun quickly took out a Tianyuan Pill, a medicine that could heal Wang Xue within an hour. Although it was expensive, he spared no expense.

After feeding the Tianyuan Pill to Wang Xue, Qin Jun said softly, "Silly girl, of course I had to come."

Liu Ruolai looked at Qin Jun and Wang Xue in his arms with envy, wishing for the same kind of affection. Unlike her, her father wanted to marry her off to a stranger.

"Hmph! How dare you obstruct my great plan! You're seeking death!"

A voice filled with overwhelming pressure suddenly came from outside the cave, causing even Qin Jun to feel a jolt of fear.

The entire mountain began to shake violently.

After taking the Tianyuan Pill, Wang Xue's condition improved. She gritted her teeth and said, "We need to escape. The Tiger Emperor won't let us go!"
