"Jianchen, run. I'll stop him." Suddenly, Xiao Dao roared out and arrived behind the Tiger King with his dagger. He raised his dagger and viciously slashed at the Tiger King's body.
However, how could Xiao Dao, who only had the strength of a Saint, injure the body of a Class 5 Golden Tiger King? When Xiao Dao's dagger came in contact with the Tiger King's body, it actually failed to leave a single mark.
The Tiger King's tail turned into a blur once again as it whipped towards Xiao Dao at a speed that was difficult to discern with the naked eye.
Slap!
With a crisp sound, the Golden Tiger King's tail landed solidly on Xiao Dao's chest. The clothes on his chest were instantly torn apart, and his entire chest was deeply caved in. The inconceivably powerful force of the tiger's tail directly shattered the bones in Xiao Dao's chest, and the remaining force entered his body, shattering his internal organs.
Xiao Dao spat out a mouthful of blood mixed with the powder of his internal organs. Xiao Dao's body flew backward for a distance of over ten meters before crashing into a large tree and falling to the ground.
"Xiao Dao!" Jianchen's face suddenly changed when he saw Xiao Dao's miserable state. He could not help but cry out. However, just when he wanted to go over and check on Xiao Dao's injuries, the Tiger King arrived before him with lightning speed. It opened its mouth and bit towards Jianchen's head mercilessly. The thick smell of blood from its mouth made it extremely difficult for Jianchen to breathe.
In that split second, Jianchen twisted his head to the side as hard as he could, narrowly dodging the attack. At the same time, he ignored the intense pain in his chest and rolled away from the Tiger King. Jianchen basically had no power to fight back against the Tiger King. Even the technique he was so proud of was unable to pose a threat to the Tiger King. After all, the difference in strength between the two of them was just too great.
"Hurry up and leave. I'll keep the Golden Tiger King busy." After dodging, Jianchen immediately called out to the Flame Mercenaries.
The members of the Flame Mercenaries were all stunned by Jianchen's words, but none of them moved. They were still quite far from the outskirts of the Magical Beast Mountain Range. With their speed, how could they escape the pursuit of a Class 5 Magical Beast?
"No, Jianchen, I'm afraid that you are the only one among us who has a chance of escaping. I'll hold the Golden Tiger King back. You run, and remember to avenge us in the future." Hu Po suddenly roared. He raised his Sacred Weapon and charged towards the Golden Haired Tiger King without fear of death. At the same time, he roared, "We can't shake off the pursuit of a Class 5 Magical Beast at all. There's no hope of escaping today. Everyone, attack together. Delay the Golden Haired Tiger King and cover Jianchen as he leaves."
Despair filled the eyes of the members of the Flame Mercenaries as they watched Hu Po charge towards the Golden Haired Tiger King without fear of death.
"Hu Po is right. We're going to die today anyway. Since that's the case, why don't we sacrifice ourselves and cover Jianchen's escape? Everyone, attack together and delay the Golden Haired Tiger King." Chang Ningfeng followed Hu Po's words and loudly called out. With that, he charged towards the Golden Haired Tiger King with his huge sword in hand.
"Jianchen, remember to avenge us in the future." The other members of the Flame Mercenaries seemed to have been influenced by Hu Po and Chang Ningfeng's words and actions. They all charged towards the Golden Haired Tiger King with their Sacred Weapons in hand, prepared to die for sure.
Seeing the members of the Flame Mercenaries charging towards the Golden Haired Tiger King without fear of death, Jianchen was stunned for a moment. Then, he suddenly roared, "No, you guys hurry up and leave. I can still delay the Golden Haired Tiger King for a while." With that, Jianchen instantly connected with the Light Wind Sword that had fallen to the ground in the distance. The Light Wind Sword once again emitted a sharp Sword Qi as it slowly rose into the air. However, compared to before, it was clear that the Sword Qi emitted by the Light Wind Sword was much weaker.
Although the members of the Flame Mercenaries all saw the strangeness of the Light Wind Sword, at this moment, no one cared about it.
"Jianchen, hurry up and leave. Don't let our sacrifice go to waste." Seeing that Jianchen was about to make a move, Chang Ningfeng once again called out.
The Golden Haired Tiger King's scarlet eyes were filled with disdain as it looked at the members of the Flame Mercenaries charging towards it. At this time, it actually didn't make the first move.
Hu Po was the first to arrive in front of the Golden Haired Tiger King. With a loud roar, he poured all of his Saint Force into the axe in his hand and viciously chopped down on the Golden Haired Tiger King's body.
However, when Hu Po's seemingly powerful attack landed on the Golden Haired Tiger King's body, it only managed to cut off a few strands of the Golden Haired Tiger King's fur. With his strength as a Great Saint, his full strength attack was unable to cause any harm to a Class 5 Magical Beast.
Afterwards, the attacks of the members of the Flame Mercenaries also landed on the Golden Haired Tiger King's huge body. However, without exception, aside from cutting off a few strands of fur, they didn't cause any harm to the Golden Haired Tiger King. Its huge body didn't even move in the slightest.
The members of the Flame Mercenaries were ashen. Although they already knew that Class 5 Magical Beasts were extremely powerful, only now did they truly understand just how powerful they were. The Golden Haired Tiger King did not have a great advantage in terms of defense, but even so, the members of the Flame Mercenaries were helpless against it.
"Roar!" The Golden Fur Tiger King let out a low roar and waved its front paw. Yu Xuan, who was the weakest among them, had his chest ripped open and his heart shattered. At the same time, the Golden Haired Tiger King's tail turned into a blur as it viciously struck Zhou Dakai.
Slap!
With a crisp sound, Zhou Dakai's entire body was sent flying far away by the tiger's tail. The bones in his chest were completely shattered, and the powerful force instantly crushed his internal organs.
"Brother!" Zhou Xiaokai cried out in grief and indignation before furiously glaring at the Golden Haired Tiger King. With a roar, he raised his huge sword in both hands and swung it at the Golden Haired Tiger King. However, Zhou Xiaokai's attack was only a tickle to the Golden Haired Tiger King. It was unable to injure it at all.
The Golden Haired Tiger King only used the most ordinary claw and bite attacks against the members of the Flame Mercenaries. Even so, it was not something that the Flame Mercenaries could withstand. In just a short moment, three people had been killed by a single strike from the Golden Haired Tiger King. Now, only five people remained, bitterly holding on.
"Jianchen, hurry up and leave. Don't let our sacrifice go to waste," Chang Ningfeng roared when he saw that Jianchen still hadn't left.
"Jianchen, what are you still standing there for? Hurry up and leave. Remember to avenge us once you're strong enough. Kill this Golden Haired Tiger King and take its monster core," Hu Bo also shouted. Hu Po also shouted loudly. However, just as he finished speaking, the Golden Tiger King's bloody mouth bit down on Hu Po's upper body. Then, with a forceful bite, Hu Po's burly body was instantly split into two. His upper body was directly swallowed by the Golden Tiger King.
Seeing Hu Bo die, Jianchen's entire body trembled. His eyes were filled with grief as he swept his gaze over the remaining members of the Flame Mercenaries. In the end, he clenched his teeth and controlled the Light Wind Sword to fly back into his hand before immediately disappearing into the forest.
In his heart, he was clear that even if he stayed behind, he wouldn't be able to change anything. In the end, only death would await him. After all, he was facing an incomparably powerful magical beast of the fifth step.
However, the fact that the members of the Flame Mercenaries had used their own lives to delay the Golden Haired Tiger King in order to buy him time to escape was a huge blow to Jianchen's heart.
After entering the forest, Jianchen forced himself to ignore the miserable cries behind him. After determining the direction, he used his fastest speed to escape. There were a lot of weeds in the forest. Weeds that were half a person's height could be seen everywhere. There were even weeds that were as tall as a person. Jian Chen endured the intense pain in his chest and used his movement technique to fly out of the forest. Not only was he faster this way, but he could also avoid the swamps that were everywhere on the ground.
"Roar!"
Less than ten breaths of time after Jianchen had escaped, a whistling sound came from behind him. From the sound of it, he could tell that it was rapidly approaching him.
Jianchen's face abruptly changed. He knew that the Golden Haired Tiger King had probably already dealt with the members of the Flame Mercenaries and was pursuing him relentlessly.
The Golden Haired Tiger King was extremely fast. As soon as this thought appeared in Jianchen's head, he could already faintly hear the wild winds and the rustling of weeds as the Golden Haired Tiger King ran behind him.
Jianchen's heart immediately became heavy. Against a powerful magical beast of the fifth step, there was nothing he could do other than run. And now, in front of the Golden Haired Tiger King's terrifying speed, he did not have the ability to run even if he wanted to. After all, speed was the specialty of tiger-type magical beasts, not to mention the fact that he was facing a magical beast of the fifth step this time.
The Saint Force within him circulated at full force and Jianchen's leaping speed increased by another thirty percent. Now, he was using his full strength, using the limit of his speed. At the same time, Jianchen quickly thought of a countermeasure, but after thinking for a long time, he still could not come up with a good plan.
Unless he encountered an Earth Saint Master or a magical beast that was hostile to the Golden Haired Tiger King and could stop it, he had no chance of escaping. With the Golden Haired Tiger King's speed, it would catch up to him very quickly.
However, the chances of encountering an Earth Saint Master or a powerful magical beast that was hostile to the Golden Haired Tiger King in the outskirts of the Magical Beast Mountain Range were extremely slim. They were basically impossible to happen.
"Roar!"
The Golden Haired Tiger King's furious roar rang out from behind him again. This time, Jianchen could already see the Golden Haired Tiger King's huge body. It was only twenty meters away from him.
Jianchen's face suddenly became ugly. Death was not scary. Having already died once, he did not fear death. However, he still had the person he cared about the most in this world, so he was unwilling to die like this no matter what.
At this moment, the Golden Haired Tiger King suddenly leapt up, turning into a black blur as it pounced at Jianchen.
