Chapter 14: Human Hearts Are Evil

"Brother, be careful!"

A voice suddenly came from the woods not far away. It was the hidden archer who warned.

After the Iron-Tailed Tiger Monster killed one person, it suddenly rushed towards the strongest and most powerful man among these people.

"Boom boom..."

The Iron-Tailed Tiger Monster was very ferocious. Its sharp claws could easily tear a tree apart. Although the burly man was an eighth-level martial artist, he was in danger in front of this monster.

The attacks of others could only cause some restraint to the Iron-Tailed Tiger Monster. Ordinary weapons chopped on its body, making a clanging sound, and could not cause enough damage to it.

Except for the sneak attack that hit the tiger monster's soft neck at the beginning, the archer hidden in the dark never succeeded.

"Everyone, run away! This beast is too powerful!" The burly man roared, and circulated his internal energy to the extreme, "I'll cover you!"

"Splitting axe!"

The burly man shouted angrily, and his two axes brought a cold light, and the sound of breaking the wind was sharp and piercing, and he chopped fiercely at the forehead of the iron-tailed tiger monster.

This axe was powerful and heavy, and it was a martial art of the third grade.

"Bang!"

The iron-tailed tiger monster was also struck by lightning, and flew backwards, with blood on his forehead.

However, the burly man was not feeling well either. He was swept by the tiger monster's tail, and the bones in his waist were directly broken, his skin and flesh were torn, and his flesh was bloody.

"Brother!" The other people exclaimed.

"Don't worry about me, hurry up!" The burly man gritted his teeth and stood up, and he would cover his brothers' retreat at the risk of his life.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! …

The archer was still responsible for restraining the attack of the Iron-tailed Tiger Monster from a distance, so that the burly man who was left behind could breathe a sigh of relief.

"Bang!"

The burly man and the Iron-tailed Tiger Monster collided again, and the burly man was knocked away by the fierce force on the spot, spitting out a large mouthful of blood.

The Iron-tailed Tiger Monster ignored the arrows shot at him, and his scarlet eyes were full of fierceness and anger, and he rushed towards the seriously injured burly man.

All this happened in a flash, and it took only a dozen breaths from the time that the man named A Fei was killed by the Iron-tailed Tiger Monster.

Although Luo Xiu had seen a lot of blood when he came to Shuiwu Mountain to practice hunting, it was the first time he saw someone being killed.

"Die, beast!"

Luo Xiu's figure was like a fleeting light, and his feet kicked towards the head of the Iron-tailed Tiger Monster in the air.

"Bang!"

A huge force was transmitted from the sole of his foot, and Luo Xiu's figure flew backwards, flipped in mid-air to release the force, and landed several meters away.

"Roar!"

The iron-tailed tiger monster roared in pain, and its fierce eyes stared at the human several meters away.

It felt that its head was almost broken by the kick just now by this human.

The burly man thought he was going to die, but at this moment, he saw that the powerful iron-tailed tiger monster was looking at a boy who suddenly appeared with great fear, and was a little dazed for a while.

At this moment, the iron-tailed tiger monster's attention was attracted by Luo Xiu. The demon beasts were superior to wild beasts not only in strength, but mainly in that they had initially acquired wisdom. Intuition told it that this human boy was a threat to it.

The burly man escaped and hurried to Luo Xiu's side to confront the iron-tailed tiger monster.

"This little brother, thank you for saving my life. My name is Yuan Dashan." The burly man said with a fist.

"Kill this tiger monster first." Luo Xiu nodded.

"Roar!"

The two of them had just said a word when the Iron-Tailed Tiger Monster pounced on him. Luo Xiu had already mastered the Inch-Step Body Technique and quickly dodged it.

"Mountain-Splitting Axe!"

Yuan Dashan used his martial arts again and chopped the tiger monster with his axe. With his eighth-level cultivation, he only left an inconspicuous wound with a full-strength blow.

The Inch-Step Body Technique unfolded, and in Luo Xiu's eyes, the life veins of the Iron-Tailed Tiger Monster were in full view.

"Tiger Style!"

He suddenly shot up, and his internal energy whistled and brought a gust of wind.

"Bang!"

The punch hit the tiger monster's head again, and a cracking sound rang out. The tiger monster roared in pain and retreated again and again, his steps were weak, and stars were in his eyes.

Yuan Dashan was dumbfounded. He only slightly injured the beast with his full-strength axe, and this boy, who looked only about 14 or 15 years old, could actually attack with his fists more powerful than himself?

"Tenglong Style!" Luo Xiu changed his moves, his body rotated in mid-air, and his fists hit the tiger monster's head again as fast as thunder.

"Boom!"

Faced with this attack, the Iron Tail Tiger Monster had no time to react. It was hit by the Tenglong Style, the most powerful of the Dragon and Tiger Fists. The vital veins in its head were immediately severely damaged, and its hard skull shattered on the spot.

"Ouch!" The Iron Tail Tiger Monster let out a wail, and its huge body fell to the ground, dying.

"It is worthy of being a top-level monster. I hit the same spot three times in a row to kill it."

Luo Xiu knew very well that in terms of pure strength, he was far inferior to the tiger monster. He was able to kill it because of his great skill and special ability to damage life veins.

Seeing the Iron Tail Tiger Monster dead, the few people who had fled not far away also approached cautiously and joined Yuan Dashan.

At this moment, Luo Xiu frowned and felt a dangerous breath.

Since the fusion of the Life and Death Pearl, his perception was extremely sharp. He immediately determined that it was the archer hiding in the dark who aimed at him.

"Brother, this kid's internal energy fluctuations seem to be only the sixth level of body refining."

"For this tiger monster, Ah Fei died. We must not let the tiger monster's body fall into the hands of others." Several people whispered and talked to Yuan Dashan.

Luo Xiu heard it vaguely, and immediately his face turned cold, and he sneered: "I killed this tiger monster."

"Humph, you killed it, right? If it weren't for our eldest brother, how could you, a kid of the sixth level of body refining, beat this iron-tailed tiger monster?" Someone sneered.

"Wang Yun, shut up! If it weren't for this little brother just now, I would have died under the claws of this beast." Yuan Dashan shouted angrily.

He stepped out, bowed to Luo Xiu, and said: "Little brother saved my life, Yuan Dashan, I dare not forget your life-saving grace. Naturally, you can deal with this tiger monster."

Luo Xiu nodded, and looked at Yuan Dashan with some new eyes. After all, the value of this iron-tailed tiger monster is at least tens of thousands of taels of silver.

If these people really take action, Luo Xiu is not afraid, but it will be a bit troublesome. It is naturally better not to take action.

"This Yuan Dashan is an idiot!" Wang Yun's eyes changed. In his opinion, even if this kid saved Yuan Dashan's life, he would not give up the value of an iron-tailed tiger monster.

It is normal for hunter teams to fight each other for the interests of treasures, not to mention that the other party is just a kid of the sixth level of body refining?

"Let's go!" Yuan Dashan bowed to Luo Xiu, and then led a group of his men to lift the body of his companion and leave.

"Wang Yun, I know what you are thinking, but I advise you that the boy who can kill the iron-tailed tiger monster is not a trivial matter. Maybe he is a disciple of a family in Qingyun City. We can't provoke him."

Yuan Dashan glanced at Wang Yun beside him and said coldly, "What's more, the other party saved my life. How can a martial artist like me be ungrateful?"

"Yes, brother is right." Wang Yun said, but he was not convinced in his heart.

"I know you are a little clever, but you have to use your brain properly." Yuan Dashan warned again, "I was injured fighting with that beast, and I need to find a place to recuperate first. I guess we will spend the night in the mountains tonight."

The other people in the team also looked a little tired and lonely. This time, the hunt for the iron-tailed tiger monster can be said to be a disastrous failure. Not only did one person die, but in the end, they didn't get any benefits.

After a while, the team found a safe place to rest and reorganize.

Yuan Dashan sat down with his back against a big tree, tearing open the clothes around his waist, and a large piece of blood and flesh was blurred. Fortunately, it was just a skin injury, and the bones were not broken.

He took out the golden wound medicine he carried with him and applied it, thinking: "I don't know who that boy is. He is obviously a sixth-level body refinement cultivator, but he can kill the iron-tailed tiger monster with two punches..."

Yuan Dashan knew very well that if it weren't for the sudden appearance of the black-clothed boy, they couldn't kill the tiger monster at all, and maybe even he himself would be buried in the tiger's mouth.

He was at the eighth level of physical training, and with the help of his internal energy and the golden wound medicine, his injuries recovered quickly.

"Hmm? Where are Wang Yun and Zhang Hun?" After less than half an hour, Yuan Dashan recovered from his injuries, but found that there were only two people left in the team besides him.

"Wang Yun said he was going to see if there were any prey nearby." Someone answered.

"Oops!" Yuan Dashan's face suddenly changed. With his experience and understanding of Wang Yun, how could he not guess what was going on?

"Wang Yun must be coveting the materials on the iron-tailed tiger monster, so he took Zhang Hun with him to kill people and steal treasures. Something big is going to happen!"

...

The body of the iron-tailed tiger monster was very large, and Luo Xiu could not take it all away.

Using his internal energy to infuse the Qingfeng Sword, he first peeled off the tiger skin. This tiger skin was relatively intact, with only one or two gaps cut by the axe, and it could be sold for a good price.

In addition, there are tiger bones, heart blood, and tiger teeth. The most valuable one is naturally the tiger monster's tail, which is known as the iron tail and is the material for making low-level human-level soldiers.

All the valuable materials were collected, especially the tiger skin, which made Luo Xiu's package full.

He looked up at the sky. It was estimated that he would not be able to return to Qingyun City before sunset. He could only spend the night in the forest and wait until the next morning to rush back.

There are not many monsters in Shuiwu Mountain, mainly wild beasts, but if it is night, this forest will be full of dangers, so Luo Xiu must find a safe place to live before dark.

"Bang!"

The sound of a bowstring vibrating was very clear in the silent forest.

Luo Xiu's pupils shrank slightly, and he felt a sharp gust of wind flying towards his head from behind.

He moved his body sideways, and an arrow hit the tree trunk next to him with a bang, and the feathers trembled.

As his perception spread, Luo Xiu discovered two life breaths.

Not far away, a short, dark-faced young man held a longbow with a full moon in his hand, looking at him coldly.

At the same time, a figure walked out from the other side, and it was the Wang Yun he had seen before.

"What do you two mean by this?" Luo Xiu asked coldly.

"Boy, don't play dumb. Leave your package and sword behind, and we will let you go." Wang Yun said with a sneer, holding a sword in his hand.

"What if I don't stay?" Luo Xiu's eyes flashed with coldness. It was supposed to be him who saved these people, but he didn't expect these guys to be so shameless and ungrateful!

However, in Luo Xiu's perception, there were only Wang Yun and the archer, and Yuan Dashan and the other two did not appear nearby.

After a brief thought, Luo Xiu understood that these two people were probably acting on their own and wanted to kill people and steal treasures.

The things on the Iron Tailed Tiger Monster were worth tens of thousands of taels of silver, so it was certainly worth it for a martial artist in the Body Refining Realm to take the risk.

Luo Xiu finally understood what it meant to have evil hearts!
