Chapter 220: Chapter 210: Vile Beast, Cease Your Arrogance!

The prefecture city is at least a few days’ journey from Quicksand County.

Moreover, he is dragging a seriously injured body, making it impossible to travel quickly, further extending the travel time.

It would take at least seven or eight days to barely reach the prefecture city.

With such a long journey, I’m afraid I might die on the road before even reaching the prefecture city.

Yu Hong saw He Yan was about to speak to stop him, so he interrupted him first.

"By the way, He, do you think that tiger demon king will leave the Hulao Mountain Range?"

"Several days have passed now. Could it be that the tiger demon king has already gone to other counties?"

"Other counties?"

"That’s not impossible, right?"

"However, Lord Xuan has not yet exited seclusion, and we have no way to deal with this tiger demon king."

Upon hearing the tiger demon king, He Yan’s face revealed a trace of solemnity.

The power of this tiger demon king is no joke.

Back then, it took several Lords descending from the heavens to defeat this tiger demon king.

At that moment, Yu Hong forcefully propped himself up from the bed, leaning against the wall.

"He, why didn’t I notice anything unusual about the bronze knife that Lord Xuan gave you?"

Yu Hong’s eyes fixed on the bronze knife in He Yan’s arms, revealing a trace of doubt.

These days, He Yan has always held the bronze knife in his arms like treasure, never letting go at any time.

Yu Hong only glanced at the bronze knife briefly and found it no different from any common bronze item.

Only the mysterious patterns on the bronze knife seemed more perfect than ordinary patterns, as if naturally crafted.

"Yv, I... I’m not really sure about this either."

"However, if Lord Xuan does something, there must be a reason behind it."

He Yan’s old face showed a hint of embarrassment because he also didn’t know Lord Xuan’s intentions.

The tiger demon king is a terrifying beast that several Lords couldn’t kill even together.

Can the bronze knife given by Lord Xuan really kill this powerful demon beast?

"Yv, pass me that bronze knife, let me take a look."

Yu Hong furrowed his brows tightly, carefully observing the bronze knife but still couldn’t see its full picture.

Upon hearing this, He Yan said nothing, but cautiously presented the bronze knife with both hands and placed it on the edge of the bed.

Without hesitating, Yu Hong reached out both hands and held the bronze knife tightly, not daring to be careless.

However, after Yu Hong touched the bronze knife for a few breaths, a faint sound suddenly arose in the room.

"Hmm, demonic energy?"

At the same time, in the City Mansion Xuan Bird Guards’ residence, Lu Xuan’s eyes suddenly opened, as if sensing something.

With a trace of divine thought infused on the Wind-Fire Saber, Lu Xuan could clearly perceive the scene around it.

"The person who touched the Wind-Fire Saber somehow stimulated my trace of divine thought."

"Inside this person’s body, there’s a trace of thin demonic energy."

Is this the effect of the power of divine thought?

It’s simply unbelievable!

Compared to Lu Xuan’s calmness, Yu Hong and He Yan on the other side were filled with shock, looking around the room.

"Who is there!"

"Who is nearby?"

However, Lu Xuan didn’t answer their question but instead, moved his will.

At this moment, the bronze knife held by Yu Hong released a faint purple glow.

Immediately a stream of purple color slowly spread from the blade, following Yu Hong’s arm, gradually flowing into his body.

"This is!"

Yu Hong looked at the bronze knife in disbelief, his hands trembling unconsciously.

This miraculous scene was discovered by He Yan and several other Profound Bird Guards.

They were just as shocked as Yu Hong, their eyes filled with incredulous emotions.

Under everyone’s eyes, Yu Hong was enveloped by a faint stream of purple energy.

Then, within a few breaths, that faint purple energy quickly flowed back into the bronze knife.

As if nothing had happened at all.

Yu Hong’s pale and weak face began to regain normal blood color, and his previously chaotic breath stabilized.

"He, I...I...I..."

Yu Hong felt the raging demonic energy within him had completely disappeared, a look of ecstatic joy appeared on his face.

"What kind of power is this? The demonic energy in my body has disappeared completely."

"Hahaha!"

"He, who would’ve thought my old life could continue a little longer."

In the face of life and death decisions, even someone like Yu Hong, who has lived most of his life, couldn’t remain unaffected.

Especially since Yu Hong still harbors a strong attachment: he hasn’t seen his niece take charge alone yet.

How can he die now?

The next moment, before anyone could figure out what was happening.

Suddenly, a clamorous and anxious sound burst from outside into the room.

"Ah!"

"What is this thing!"

"A monster!"

"It’s a tiger."

"How can there be such a huge tiger!"

"Help, everyone run!"

"Sir!"

"Help!"

The cries for help rang continuously, echoing from all directions.

"Who would have thought that you ants have the guts to stay here."

"Heh heh, there’s a few decent martial artists inside."

All the people in the room felt a massive tremor from the ground, as if some enormous creature was approaching.

"Not good!"

"It’s the tiger demon king!"

He Yan’s face changed drastically and rushed forward, quickly snatching the bronze knife from Yu Hong’s hands.

Then, He Yan didn’t pause a moment, directly sprinting towards the door.

As soon as He Yan stepped outside, he saw a black tiger dozens of zhang tall, its bloody mouth still carrying pieces of flesh and remains!

At the moment of He Yan’s appearance, the tiger demon king’s massive eyes reflected a green light, staring fixedly at He Yan as if locking him in.

"You, human martial artist, seem tastier than the ants outside!"

The tiger demon king’s mouth filled with fangs slowly dripped blood-red saliva.

As the eerie voice fell, He Yan suddenly felt difficult breathing, as if a suffocating force was pressing from all sides.

This terrifying aura carried a chilling fiendish energy, making He Yan’s heart shiver and his body instinctively stiffen.

The feeling of powerless despair is like facing an unbeatable enemy, with no thought of resistance.

As He Yan’s mind went blank, the tiger demon king was already marching toward him with heavy limbs.

The sharp claws each left deep marks on the ground as it stepped.

Swoosh!

The next instant, a bloody mouth dripping with dark red saliva lunged toward He Yan, as if to swallow him whole.

The bronze knife in He Yan’s arms suddenly emitted a dazzling purple glow.

"Evil beast!"

"Cease your arrogance!"

A terrifying force burst forth, the tiger demon king, which was leaping through the air, collided with it mightily.

The mountainous body seemed to be struck by an invisible giant hand, flung far away.

Boom!

A loud noise followed by earth-shattering vibrations.

For a time, dust flew, smoke enveloped the air, and the tiger demon king’s massive form fell heavily to the ground, leaving a large crater!

In mid-air, a hazy purple illusory face appeared.

The purple illusory face seemed to be several dozen zhang large, occupying the entire sky.
