Volume 3: The World's Strongest Chapter 58: The Real Desperate Situation
I saw Yagyu Jubei showing off his silver-gray katana made from melted star iron.
Qi Ji couldn't help but smile teasingly and said, "Don't even mention your old broken sword. How can it be compared with the precious Star Iron weapon?"
Li Qichang also laughed and said, "Qi Ji, stop mocking Liu Sheng. Tell me about yourself. Ours are all normal swords weighing three to five pounds. Yours... Is the higher-up too partial to you?"
After hearing what Li Qichuang said, the other two couldn't help but look at Qi Ji's huge wolf sword and nodded.
With this length, width, and thickness, it must weigh at least 20 kilograms! And is it necessary to make the hilt that long?
Could it be that Qi Ji is the illegitimate son of some senior leader?
…
After easily killing a nest of scale monsters, not to mention Qi Ji and Jubei, at least Li Qichuang and Pei Xingjian already had an idea of the monsters' strength.
So after discussing it, several people began to speed up and quickly started to climb the mountain in a straight line.
About twenty minutes later.
Bang!
Yagyu Jubei used the Heart's Eye Sword move, and after taking the attack from the giant wolf as big as a calf in front of him, he changed the chopping into a stabbing, and thrust the katana deep into the wolf's head through its eyes, finally killing the wolf, which was more ferocious than lions and tigers on Earth.
Seeing Yagyu Jubei taking the initiative to challenge the wolf in order to familiarize himself with his extraordinary strength and easily defeating it, Qi Ji and the other guys cheered him on.
It should have been a dangerous and desperate place with foreign demons, but now they were treating it like a picnic.
Qin Zijin approached Qi Ji and said in a voice that everyone could hear: "Something's wrong!"
Qi Ji paused for a moment and asked, "What's the situation?"
Qin Zijin hesitated for a moment and said, "Before we came in, Master Dai mentioned to us that among the types of foreign demons they killed, there were 'minions', but we haven't seen any of them appear so far."
Li Qichang thought for a moment and said, "Maybe the tiger is on the other side of the mountain?"
Qin Zijin shook her head: "It's possible, but we still have to be prepared. This trip went too smoothly."
No one objected, it was indeed going too smoothly.
The people of Daxia have always been cautious and believe in the concepts that extreme joy will lead to sorrow and adversity will lead to good times.
When something goes too smoothly, it will cause people to feel uneasy.
Looking up, the top of the mountain is right in front of us and it will take less than ten minutes to reach it.
The few of them simply stopped and took advantage of the break to briefly discuss the next plan.
Qin Zijin's face was not looking good. She said to Qi Ji, "Because of my 'talent', my intuition has always been very accurate. If possible, I suggest we return now."
Qi Ji looked at Qin Zijin's pale face and felt a little distressed. He nodded: "Okay, for the sake of caution, we will return now."
He and Qin Zijin are the closest. Since the girl has already suggested it, it is not a task that must be completed now. It is not a bad idea to return and settle Qin Zijin first before coming out to explore.
Pei Xingjian remained silent, but Yagyu Jubei and Li Qichang had other opinions.
Li Qichang was the first to speak: "It is not recommended to retreat at the last minute, but we can be more careful and explore the last section of the road. After seeing the appearance of the core demon clearly, we can retreat."
Yagyu Jubei nodded in agreement with Li Qichang's words: "That's right, we can take a look at the core outer demon. If it is an average-level one, we can just kill it to save time."
Qi Ji was about to speak.
A sudden change occurs!
"Roar!" A deafening tiger roar came from the top of the mountain a few hundred meters away.
An invisible aura came towards them and transformed into a fishy wind that blew towards the five people.
Everyone's face changed color!
The next second, as if in response to the terrifying tiger roar, explosive roars rang out one after another from the woods in all directions.
A fishy smell wafted into the air as eight tigers, two times larger than the largest tiger in reality, walked out of the dark forest.
Each one is more than four meters long including the tail, with strong muscles on the body. The fur color is different from that of real tigers, with gray as the base color and black as the pattern.
The most distinctive feature is their tail. At the end of the long tail is a large round tumor like a human head.
With a fishy sneer on their lips, the eight tigers formed a circle and completely surrounded the few people. Although they were beast-shaped demons, they were less anxious and impatient than the scaly monster. Instead, they roared softly and slowly paced around the few people.
It turned out that they had been secretly surrounded!
"Eight!" Qin Zijin's face looked a little ugly: "The fighting ability of the tiger can easily kill lions and tigers in reality, and the tumor on the tail has a strange ability to disturb people's minds. If these eight come together, I'm afraid we..."
She didn't finish her words, but everyone understood what she meant.
Qi Ji smiled bitterly: "Just now you said you wanted to retreat, but now it seems that there is no need to think about it, there is no way out."
The next second, his face turned serious and he shouted, "Do it!"
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone, including Qin Zijin, raised their weapons.
Although they are already at a disadvantage in a sense, if they don't take the initiative to kill these ordinary tigers, they will be faced with a real desperate situation when the leader on the top of the mountain rushes here!
Suddenly, five people rushed forward simultaneously!
Qi Ji, Yagyu Jubei and Li Qichang each faced two.
Pei Xingjian was obviously not strong enough to fight two at once. Qin Zijin, who was good at observing the situation, did not hide behind, but immediately followed and cooperated with Pei Xingjian to fight against the remaining two.
In an instant, humans and beasts began to fight each other.
Qi Ji had already activated the meridian nourishing method, and with terrifying power, he turned into a phantom and appeared in the air!
The tigers were unafraid and one of them immediately jumped up and pounced on him!
The other one was also behind with its hind legs ready to leap out.
The next moment, he turned the blade of his sword downward like a wild beast leaping and attacking, and fell suddenly.
Wolf Swordsmanship - Wolf Pounce!
The man and the tiger collided fiercely, but the tiger, weighing more than one ton, was no match for Qi Ji's ferocity and was pinned down by Qi Ji in the air.
Bang!
The wolf sword, with unparalleled power, penetrated fiercely into the back muscles of the tiger's arm!
Qi Ji pressed the howling tiger down to the ground. The wolf sword pierced through the tiger's back and went straight into the mud.
With one strike, the giant tiger, which was even bigger than the largest cat in reality, was seriously injured!
Qi Ji had no time to finish off the opponent, because the equally huge and ferocious tiger behind him had already pounced on him with a bloody gust of wind.
Wolf Swordsmanship - Wolf Leap!
Facing the close attack, Qi Ji suddenly drew out the wolf sword, brought up a handful of tiger blood and slashed upwards while spinning and leaping high backwards.
The tip of the wolf sword swept across the cheek of the attacking tiger, just blinding one of its eyes.
The next second, Qi Ji bounced back into the air like a rising dragon in a direction that seemed to have been planned long ago, and he actually jumped back above Li Qichuang's battlefield.
At this time, Li Qichang was struggling to deal with the attack from two crooked tigers. He was caught in a dilemma and in danger.
Wolf swordsmanship——Lion Slash!
With just one incomparable heavy blow, Qi Ji fell from the air, and the wolf sword slashed a tiger in half that was waving its claws towards Li Qichuang!
The tiger that was cut into two pieces by his sword fell to the ground and howled wildly. Although it was not dead for the time being, it could no longer pose a threat to others.
After fighting for a few moments, except for Yagyu Jubei who suppressed the tiger more easily, the other three were having a hard time resisting.
Qi Ji relied on his unique three-stroke wolf sword technique to jump and pounce repeatedly in the air, killing one and seriously injuring two in one fell swoop!
Li Qichuang's pressure was immediately relieved, and he was able to fight against a tiger with ease at the level of a ninth dan.
Qi Ji stood up straight, but hadn't turned around to meet his target.
As if realizing that its own tribe was decreasing in numbers, the tiger roared again!
This time, the tiger's roar was less than two hundred meters away from Qi Ji and the others.
What’s even more special is that upon hearing the tiger’s roar, the seven surviving tigers, including the one seriously injured by Qi Ji, who were fighting fiercely, actually jumped back in unison. Before everyone could catch up with them, they collectively lowered their front legs and hung their tails upside down on their backs.
Looking at the large tumor on the tail from this angle, it looks like there are seven suspended, lifelike pale faces with noses and eyes staring at everyone in the field!
An extreme sense of horror arose in everyone's heart.
Qin Zijin immediately remembered a record of Jiange, and was about to remind them loudly, but he saw that the seven tigers with human head tumors pointed at everyone began to vibrate their tails at high speed at the same time, causing the tumors to swing strangely.
Suddenly, a series of strange whimpering sounds began to come from the "mouth" of the sarcoma!
Wuuuuu…hehehe…hehehe…hehehehe!
It is said that the miserable human being who is devoured by a tiger spirit will turn into the tiger's minions, seducing other people to become the tiger's meal.
This is what is called being an accomplice to a tiger.
The moment the strange and overlapping whimpering sounds began, everyone present felt as if struck by lightning. They immediately felt a huge sense of fear rising in their hearts. Everyone's expression fell into a trance, with a look of extreme fear on their faces.
If any of the tigers came and attacked the five people at this time, they would surely be killed all of them who were in a daze and fear.
But these tigers did not stop. They just maintained their high-speed vibrations and continued to release strange controlled whimpers through the "human heads" on their tails, restricting Qi Ji and the others in place.
Their purpose soon became apparent.
A few seconds later, accompanied by a series of terrifying growls, a leader tiger that was even larger than an ordinary tiger pushed down a dead tree and slowly appeared in front of everyone.
Its expression was filled with cunning and cruelty that was inconsistent with that of a wild beast. With the heads of all the tigers at the scene playing for it, it walked step by step towards Qi Ji, who had just killed one of its men .
Everyone saw it, but they looked dazed and couldn't do anything!
