Who Let Him Cultivate?!

Lu Yang, sword in hand, grappled with Qi Wu’s neck and tossed him backwards, shouting, “There is a door behind. Run quickly!”

In the blink of an eye, Qi Wu was thrown three to four meters away. It seemed like he would fall to the ground, but an invisible force arose from underneath him, lifting his body and making him land securely on the ground.

“Thankyou for rescuing, Immortal!”

As soon as he finished speaking, he promptly led All Yue and the others to run outside, without any hesitation whatsoever.

They couldn’t make sense of Lu Yang and Tiger Demon’s Cultivation Level, but only knew that when cultivators battle, regardless of victory or defeat, it would inevitably affect the surroundings. Their mortal bodies, if merely grazed in the fight, would either end up confined to bed or buried in the earth for the latter half of their lives.

The Tiger Demon’s fur stood on end, the “king” character on its head faintly glowing. Desiring to tear Lu Yang to shreds, its attacks became even more fierce.

“I’ll aid you!”

Voices echoed from two other mountain god statues. One held scriptures in hand, looking sophisticated and scholarly, another emitted a brilliant light from his body, seeming like an enlightened monk with an Immeasurable

Golden Body!

Man Gu, feeling that the scriptures in his hand were too light, put them away and took out two “Great Xia Dictionaries” from his chest.

“Feels good in hand.”

Man Gu had been educated since childhood that his people, the Barbarian tribe, were a race of warriors. Weapons can be of any form; anything could become your weapon. Use whatever comes handy.

Presently, the most handy items were the books.

“Knowledge is power!”

Holding two dictionaries like two bricks, he slammed them towards the forehead of the Tiger Demon. The Tiger Demon froze for a moment, having never encountered such a weapon.

Meng Jingzhou didn’t need any weapons. His body was the strongest weapon.

Turning into a golden statue, he charged towards the Tiger Demon. The ghoul behind the Tiger Demon screamed miserably, its body sizzling and starting to smoke.

The pure Yang Spirit Root had a miraculous effect against ghosts!

The Ghoul cried out in terror, no longer obeying the Tiger Demon’s orders. It ran away from the temple and vanished in the rain.

The Tiger Demon had never been as enraged as it was today.

just because it didn’t want to have a conflict with cultivators doesn’t mean it was afraid of them. It could easily tear these ignorant children to shreds and flee elsewhere. Who would be able to find it there?

Such a pity to abandon Song Mountain, this auspicious place.

Upon thinking about it, the Tiger Demon no longer held back. The tiger tail swept towards Lu Yang with a howling sound. If Lu Yang continued to attack, he would undoubtedly end up with severe injuries!

Lu Yang made a decisive move, sheathed his sword, and retreated. The tiger tail slammed into the ground, causing the entire temple to shake.

The trio looked solemn: “Already condensed the illusion of a Golden Core!” Compressing a Golden Core requires a cultivator first to condense an illusionary Golden Core. The Golden Core becomes real from the illusionary, and only then is one officially entering the Golden Core Stage.

The Tiger Demon presently in front of them was obviously forming a golden core, its strength was extraordinary!

“I am a Half Step Golden Core Great Power. You Foundation Establishment kids dare to injure me!”

“Half Step Golden Core?” Lu Yang turned to Meng Jingzhou. He had never heard Eldest Senior Sister mention this term before.

A decent man, Meng Jingzhou explained: “It means he hasn’t formed a golden core yet, but always feels he is superior and can’t be compared with those at the Foundation Establishment stage. He’s vainly attempting to reach the Golden Core Stage, but the ones already in the Golden Core Stage ignore him. It’s quite pitiful.”

The kind-hearted Man Gu added, “Brother Lu, it’s normal that you don’t know. The senior brothers and sisters in the sect all sneered at this term. Form the golden core from illusion? Only the vulgar would do that. They formed the golden core directly.”

The honest Lu Yang looked at the Tiger Demon pityingly, “Indeed pitiful.” The Tiger Demon grew increasingly furious, its eyes bloodshot. The cultivation level that it took pride in was belittled by these three youngsters to almost nothing.

The most crucial point was that it was truly what they thought!

At least pretend!

The Tiger Demon released a formidable pressure, trying to suppress the three of them first.

Unexpectedly, none of the three were affected. Both Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou couldn’t help but laugh: “We have endured the pressure from a Nascent Soul Stage Great Demon with Ancient Dragon’s Blood, how could we be influenced by you?”

Man Gu went without saying. The blood of the Ancient Barbarian Tribe made him fearless of any intimidation. The barbarian tribe was clad in fearlessness in ancient times and was notorious for their tyranny.

They especially embodied savagery.

The Tiger Demon gave up mimicking the human race’s two-legged stand, and put down his forelimbs, crawling on the ground. His chin was right next to the floor, and his tiger eyes were intently watching the trio.

Boom-

The Tiger Demon pushed hard with its hind legs and fiercely attacked towards the trio like a cannonball. Lu Yang held his Green Peak Sword across his chest and barely blocked the Tiger Demon’s sharp claws.

Lu Yang retreated in a rotational motion to offset the force of the Tiger Demon. Unlike the previous Skin-Peeling Ghost, the ghost’s strength lies in its eerie nature. It was not good at attacking inherently and could be easily defeated once its true identity was revealed. But the Tiger Demon was different.

The Demon Race was known for their physical strength. Even the Tiger Demon’s cultivation level was nearly an entire level higher than the other three. The fact that Lu Yang could resist the strike with his sword without getting hurt was no easy feat.

Meng Jingzhou and Man Gu attacked from left and right in a pincer maneuver. The Tiger Demon’s blood was tinged with shimmering runes, transforming into a gust of wind, flying above the two, ferociously scratching at them.

Clouds follow dragons, wind follows tigers. The Tiger Demon was innately capable of controlling wind magic skills, it was a bloodline-based instinctive magic!

Meng Jingzhou couldn’t find leverage mid-air, and squared off against the Tiger Demon’s palm. Man Gu used his dictionary to shield his chest, half of which was shredded by the Tiger Demon.

Lu Yang took advantage of the opportunity and struck with his sword, utterly relentless. His sword seemed like a bolt of lightning, reaching the Tiger Demon in a blink of an eye, launching several strikes. Unfortunately, the Tiger Demon’s skin was too thick, and Lu Yang’s sword couldn’t pierce it.

The Tiger Demon was about to laugh out loud, mocking Lu Yang for overestimating his abilities, unable to even break its defenses. However, suddenly, its body exploded with several strands of sword qi, making it vomit blood profusely.

The location of the explosion was exactly where Lu Yang had aimed his strike!

Hidden force sword qi!

Lu Yang did not need to pierce through the opponent, all he needed to do was input sword qi into the opponent’s body!

This was the weakness of the Demon Race compared to Body Cultivators; the Demon Race’s physical strength was only skin-deep, their internal organs and blood were terribly fragile!

The Tiger Demon pulled back, not wanting to go toe-to-toe with Lu Yang’s sword anymore.

Unexpectedly, Lu Yang was relentless. His right hand raised to the avoided strike of the Tiger Demon, his left hand reached for a fried dough stick, and whacked it at the Tiger Demon’s head!

The Tiger Demon could have avoided it, but it saw Lu Yang using a fried dough stick, and it let down its guard, mockingly thinking that Lu Yang was really a child, and now he is desperate enough to use anything to fight.

Then it was hit and dazed.

What kind of fried dough stick was this?!

Meng Jingzhou transformed into a mountain, taking the opportunity of the few seconds when the tiger demon was dazed, he aimed at its waist and rammed into it. The Tiger Demon seemed wise and experienced, but in reality, was full of openings.

It was a believer in the no-war principle, would rather run than fight, and seldom sparred with others during its training period.

The Tiger Demon was unsteady from the impact, Man Gu made his move, aiming a punch at its eyeball. The Tiger Demon hurriedly turned its face, and the punch hit its cheek instead, tearing off a piece of skin and fur.

The Tiger Demon instinctively wagged its tail, hitting Man Gu who, going along with the direction of the tail, staggered but didn’t get much hurt.

Lu Yang launched several sword strikes in the blink of an eye and added a few more with the fried dough stick, forcing the Tiger Demon to continuously retreat.

After some rounds of combat, the trio seemed to have the upper hand.

The Tiger Demon realized that despite their young age, and relatively low cultivation level, the trio displayed profound skills suggesting they must have had a great power backing them. It began to think of retreating.

But the three of them did not intend to let the Tiger Demon escape. If the Tiger Demon was let loose today, one couldn’t tell how many people would fall victim to it tomorrow.

They must not let it escape!

“Don’t push your luck!”

The Tiger Demon roared in anger, visibly infuriated. The trio sensed an air of desperation about the Tiger Demon and immediately became guarded.

The Tiger Demon’s eyes bulged and turned towards the outside of the temple, roaring with its secret weapon, “Wife, someone is trying to kill me!
