Chapter 59 - 59: 59 He Doesn’t Seem to be Very Strong
Taoist Changfeng, who was watching this scene from behind, couldn’t contain his exhilaration.
“Die, die, die! As long as you die, all the treasures on your body will become mine!”
However, against everyone’s expectations, as the Tiger Demon’s palm came swinging down, Jiang Xiaobai casually reached out and effortlessly grabbed the demon’s wrist.
At that moment, not only was Taoist Changfeng stumped, even the Tiger Demon was stumped itself.
Jiang Xiaobai was clearly only at the early stage of Qi refining, so how could he possibly withstand an attack from the Tiger Demon, which was at the later stage of Qi refining?
“What kind of joke is this?” mumbled Taoist Changfeng.
Just then, a gasp of surprise came from the crowd. The Tiger Demon was lifting its other hand to strike at Jiang Xiaobai’s head.
But the result was the same. Jiang Xiaobai easily blocked the attack.
“Old Taoist, this Tiger Demon doesn’t seem so strong. In fact, it seems a bit weak, ” Jiang Xiaobai shouted.
Taoist Changfeng felt his IQwas being tested. He couldn’t figure out why Jiang Xiaobai wasn’t dead.
When Taoist Changfeng thought he had seen Jiang Xiaobai’s limits, suddenly, Jiang Xiaobai exerted strength with both hands and directly crushed the Tiger Demon’s wrists.
The sound of breaking bones rang out, making everyone’s scalp tingle as if their bones were being crushed too.
The Tiger Demon howled in pain as its bones broke, while Jiang Xiaobai used his right hand to grab its wrist and smashed it into the ground.
Boom! The ground started shaking.
The Tiger Demon left a human-shaped pit in the ground. The crowd was shocked to find out that the Tiger Demon was actually smashed to death by Jiang Xiaobai!
“This… it’s impossible. How could this be? It can’t be!” Taoist Changfeng stood stunned on the spot.
Not only him, everyone was the same.
The only person who was shouting and cheering was Li Qingzhou.
“Awesome! Brother Xiaobai is so strong! You’ve easily killed the powerful Tiger Demon!”
Upon hearing Li Qingzhou’s shout, everyone came back to their senses. Jiang Xiaobai had killed the Tiger Demon all by himself.
Taoist Changfeng had previously claimed that the Tiger Demon was only pretending to be seriously injured.
This proved Jiang Xiaobai’s strength. Although his method of killing the Tiger Demon was simple and crude, it ignited passion in everyone’s hearts.
“Well done! Well done!”
“I didn’t expect you to be this powerful, young man.”
“A hero! You’re a hero!”
The common people cheered. The monster that had been troubling them for so long was taken care of by Jiang Xiaobai. Their hearts were filled with joy.
Taoist Changfeng stood confused. He couldn’t understand how everything that he had planned could have turned out like this.
He felt like the Tiger Demon was just teasing him!
“Damn it! How did you do it?” Taoist Changfeng glared at Jiang Xiaobai, feeling a burning pain on his face.
His frustration wasn’t only because Jiang Xiaobai hadn’t been killed by him. He was also upset because Jiang Xiaobai had stolen his thunder. This great opportunity was squandered by him.
Not only did he fail to get the treasure, he also lost the attention that he loved.
He was about to explode.
Jiang Xiaobai showed an innocent smile: “I don’t know either. This Tiger Demon is very weak. I didn’t sense any strength from him.”
“You!”
Taoist Changfeng pointed at Jiang Xiaobai, but he was so furious that he couldn’t speak. He felt like he was about to pass out.
“Ahem, Taoist Changfeng, please calm down.” Lord Sun didn’t know what to say and had to resort to suggesting a step-down.
After hearing these words, Taoist Changfeng got even angrier. He gave a cold scoff, turned around, and walked away.
He had lost his dignity and reputation. Why should he continue to stay here?
Jiang Xiaobai sneered at the sight of this. He thought, “You couldn’t even handle me, yet you dared to plot against me. Are you looking for death?”
After dealing with the Tiger Demon, Jiang Xiaobai had become a well-respected figure in Spring Lake City, especially since he was also a cultivator, which made people admire him even more.
Jiang Xiaobai had to join Li Qingzhou and the others back to Spring Lake City.
The city lord’s mansion and the Li Family hosted a grand celebration banquet. After a quick meal, Jiang Xiaobai excused himself saying that he had important things to do. He then declined both parties’ offers of rewards and left Spring Lake City.
To him, time was of the essence. He had to travel to other places if there were no gains in the southern mountains.
The ancient family was coming soon.
Once again back in the southern mountains, Jiang Xiaobai felt much at peace without Li Qingzhou screaming in his ear.
After ensuring that there was no problem in his surroundings, Jiang Xiaobai started to scan the area with psychic power.
Wherever his psychic power went, everything was crystal clear. He immediately spotted a suspicious area where an array seemed to be hidden, but it was very rudimentary. Also, there was demonic energy all around.
There indeed appeared to be a demon king in the southern mountains.
Next, Jiang Xiaobai snorted coldly. An upper sky spirit treasured sword appeared in his hand. He leaped and flew towards where the demon king was hiding.
Not long after he left, two figures appeared wrapped in black bandages. The first figure, slightly taller, slapped the second figure, LaoEr, on the head as soon as he showed up.
“You mutt, hurry up and find that man for me. If you waste any more of my time, I will kill you!”
LaoEr quickly nodded. A small arrow appeared in his hands. He formed a seal with his hands, and the arrow floated in mid-air. After rotating for a bit, the arrow pointed in a certain direction.
“Big brother, I found him, he’s over there!”
“Then what are you waiting for? Aren’t you going to chase him?”
LaoEr got another slap from his boss, who then flew off to chase Jiang Xiaobai.
At this time, Jiang Xiaobai was already standing at the entrance of a cave. After carefully observing, he found that although there was an array here, it only served to block off detection. It had no other purposes.
Jiang Xiaobai pulled out his sword and prepared to rush into the cave.
“Congratulations, host, for triggering a selection!”
“Option one: Kill the Demon King in the cave, reward: one piece of an upper sky spirit treasure.”
“Option two: Kill all the demons on the southern mountains, reward: one random Nascent Soul stage talisman.”
“Option three: Ignore, reward: random teleportation for the host (unlimited distance and space).”
Jiang Xiaobai stared at the third option, lost in thought. Teleportation seemed exaggerated.
What if he were teleported to a dangerous place? Wouldn’t he be killed instantly?
Without a second thought, he chose the second option. Holding his sword, he rushed into the cave.
“Demon, prepare to die!”
