Chapter 5 Senior Brother, What Do You Mean?
Chapter 5: Senior Brother, what do you mean by this?
On the way down the mountain, Wu Liang explained the details of the mission to Chen Ze.
In simple terms, there is a Yao tiger with a strength of approximately Qi Refining fourth level that is causing trouble near Qingyang Town, which is related to Azure Sun Sect. This Yao tiger not only attacks livestock, but also recently attacked passing merchant caravans, killing many people.
After Qingyang Town roughly determined the location of the Yao tiger's lair, they reported it to Azure Sun Sect and requested their help in dealing with the Yao threat. Azure Sun Sect then assigned the task to them, the outer disciples.
"Junior Brother Chen, if we encounter that Yao tiger later, I will take the lead in attacking, and you can provide support," Wu Liang explained, and then added enthusiastically, "Alright, Junior Brother, you can bask in my glory by following behind me."
Chen Ze didn't pretend to be modest and directly agreed.
...
After more than an hour.
The two arrived in a dense forest ten miles east of Qingyang Town, the location indicated by the town residents.
After carefully searching for a while, they quickly found the feces left behind by the Yao tiger in the forest.
Then, following the clues, they arrived at a huge cave next to a mountain stream after about half an hour.
The entrance of the cave was piled with dozens of various bones, which shimmered with a pale light under the washing of the nearby mountain stream, giving off a strange beauty.
"It should be here," Wu Liang's eyes flashed with a faint light. He deliberately quickened his pace and took out the standard Low Grade Spirit Sword of Azure Sun Sect from his storage bag.
Roar!
As soon as his footsteps sounded, a thunderous tiger roar came from inside the cave, causing the leaves in the forest to rustle.
Before the two could get closer, a huge figure carrying a gust of demonic wind rushed out of the cave and crashed down several zhang away from them!
It was a red-eyed white-forehead Yao tiger that was twice the size of a normal tiger. In addition to its large size, this Yao tiger also had a pair of extremely long fangs exposed, making it particularly ferocious.
"Roar!"
Seeing two humans entering its territory, the Yao tiger roared again, its crimson tiger eyes filled with a fierce and ferocious look, as if it couldn't wait to tear the two in front of it to pieces.
Feeling the pungent wind blowing towards him, Wu Liang exhaled lightly and then nodded slightly at Chen Ze.
Chen Ze nodded in response.
Seeing this, Wu Liang didn't hesitate anymore. He took the initiative to draw his sword and confronted the Yao tiger.
Compared to ordinary people, cultivators were several times faster. Almost instantly, Wu Liang arrived at the side of the Yao tiger.
Then, a cold light flashed, and his Spirit Sword directly slashed towards the neck of the Yao tiger.
The reaction speed of the Yao tiger was also extremely fast. Almost at the same time, its palm-sized front paw lifted and slapped towards Wu Liang's side.
Naturally, Wu Liang couldn't exchange injuries with the Yao tiger. Seeing the tiger paw coming, he immediately retracted his sword and dodged to the side. Then, he looked towards Chen Ze not far away.
Chen Ze understood and immediately took out the standard Low Grade Spirit Sword and rushed towards the Yao tiger from the other side.
Roar!
The Yao tiger became furious and used its claws and tail, sweeping around with terrifying force.
Seeing the tiger tail, which was like a steel whip, sweeping towards him, Chen Ze leaned back and dodged.
Bang!
With a muffled sound, a small tree with a bowl-sized trunk behind him was directly split in half by the tail.
Seeing that the attack failed, the Yao tiger roared loudly and launched another attack, appearing extremely violent.
The two of them kept dodging and looking for opportunities to counterattack.
The sound of tiger roars, strong winds, and the piercing sound of blades breaking the air were constantly heard.
Although there were a few moments that seemed extremely dangerous, both of them exercised great restraint and did not use their power beyond the third level of Qi Refining.
"Wu Liang's combat experience is quite good... It seems that he should fight with others more often."
While Chen Ze was fighting the demon tiger, he secretly observed Wu Liang.
After a while, the demon tiger exposed a flaw and was struck on the back by Wu Liang's sword, causing a large amount of fresh tiger blood to spurt out instantly.
Instead of weakening after being injured, the demon tiger became even more ferocious and its frenzied attacks quickly turned the surroundings into a mess.
Chen Ze and Wu Liang had great tacit understanding and both chose to temporarily avoid the tiger's aggression.
Although they were both dodging and not attacking, the tiger's wounds became larger and larger due to its overly intense movements. Before long, its massive body was completely stained red with blood.
Sensing its own weakness, the demon tiger let out a low roar and prepared to escape into the depths of the dense forest.
"Hmph! Trying to run at this time, it's too late!"
Seeing this, Wu Liang sneered and directly blocked the demon tiger's path, while Chen Ze immediately followed.
The two of them fought the tiger for a while and soon left seven or eight wounds on its body.
Seeing that the tiger's eyes were gradually dimming, both of them instinctively chose to retreat a distance to prevent the dying tiger from counterattacking.
After dragging on for a while, the demon tiger collapsed with a loud crash due to excessive blood loss. After gasping heavily for a moment, it fell completely silent.
"We did it! Chen Junior Brother, I didn't expect you to have quite a bit of experience in dealing with monsters!"
After delivering another sword to a vital spot on the demon tiger, Wu Liang praised loudly.
His praise came from the bottom of his heart.
In his eyes, this Junior Brother Chen was honest and straightforward. He didn't expect that when it came to hunting monsters, he would also employ some strategies.
"Haha, before I joined Azure Sun Sect, I occasionally went hunting monsters with the elders of my family. But compared to Senior Brother Wu, I'm still far behind."
Chen Ze laughed and complimented, his face filled with the joy and relaxation that comes after completing a mission.
"Hehe, it's rare for us brothers to cooperate for the first time and be so in sync... How about this, Chen Junior Brother, you dissect this demon tiger here, and I'll go check if there's anything else in the cave."
After glancing at the demon tiger's corpse on the ground, Wu Liang naturally suggested.
"Alright, just presenting the head to the sect should be enough to complete the task. We can sell the rest of the body for spirit stones."
Chen Ze happily agreed and then squatted down to focus on cutting off the demon tiger's head with his spiritual sword.
At this moment, he turned his body sideways towards Wu Liang, but his mind was extremely vigilant.
As an old schemer, he knew exactly when was the right time to launch a surprise attack.
As he had imagined, there was no sound of Wu Liang heading towards the cave, but instead, an eerie silence fell.
If one wasn't highly alert, this abnormality would be difficult to notice.
And this silence only lasted for an instant!
The next second, a sharp sound of breaking through the air suddenly rang out!
Chen Ze, who was focused on cutting off the tiger's head, heard the movement and grinned, instantly taking out the Mysterious Light Shield and infusing it with spiritual energy!
Clang!
A loud clang resounded as Chen Ze suddenly turned around and saw Wu Liang holding a pitch-black short dagger, which was piercing the spiritual energy barrier created by the Mysterious Light Shield.
Seeing this scene, Chen Ze's gaze became deep and he coldly said, "Wu Senior Brother, what is the meaning of this?"
