Chu Li's soul was strong and his will was as strong as steel. However, in front of the Spirit Tiger, he was like a child in front of an adult. He could not resist at all. His knees turned soft and he was about to kneel down.
He restrained his impulse and straightened his knees that were about to fall to the ground.
There was nothing strange in his mind but his figure was getting weaker. In reality, he was bleeding from all his orifices as if there was an endless force pressing against him, trying to break his body.
The Indestructible Body of Vajra was powerful and could block the Vermilion Bird's flames and two to three attacks from the Spirit Tiger. However, it could only defend against external enemies and not the enemy in his mind.
It could only defend against physical attacks, but it could not defend against soul attacks.
"Roar …" The Spirit Tiger roared in the void of his mind again.
Chu Li's figure became weak and dim like a candle in the wind that could be extinguished at any time.
An ancient sword slowly appeared in the void, and a simple yet gorgeous contradictory style condensed on its body.
Chu Li's killing intent was boiling. The ancient sword became clearer and more real as it floated towards the Spirit Tiger. However, it was as small as a needle in front of the Spirit Tiger. The Spirit Tiger looked at the ancient sword in disdain.
It had already experienced the power of the Godslayer Sword. It was very ordinary and could not do anything to it.
"Roar …" Seeing that Chu Li was not going to give in, it roared again.
The void of his mind started to shake as if there was an earthquake and it was about to collapse.
Chu Li's figure in the void of his mind dimmed and almost disappeared.
He knew that once his figure disappeared, his soul would also disappear and he would become a walking corpse. It was no different from dying and it was hard to say if the Life and Death Scripture could save him.
Under such circumstances, he did not use the Life and Death Scripture. Although it was strong, it could not defend against the enemy.
"Chi!" The Godslayer Sword suddenly let out a clear sound and pierced the Spirit Tiger's left eye.
"Roar …" The Spirit Tiger let out a deafening roar.
Chu Li could not care about anything else. He rushed out of the void of his mind and returned to reality. His body was already sitting on the ground weakly. Fortunately, the Supreme Vajra Scripture was still using the Indestructible Body of Vajra to block the Vermilion Bird's flames and the Spirit Tiger's spiritual energy.
He could not care about the condition of his body. There was only one thought in his mind — escape!
Activating his God's Feet, Zhang Xuan tried to leave, only to realize that the space was still sealed. He was unable to escape.
He raised his head and looked behind him. The petite female spiritual tiger was standing in the air ten meters above him, looking at him calmly.
"Roar …" The male Spirit Tiger let out an angry roar as it opened its eyes and glared at Chu Li. Its voice exploded in Chu Li's mind. "You shall die!"
Chu Li stared coldly at the two Spirit Tigers and swung his God Slaying Sword again.
The male Spirit Tiger's body lit up as a bright light burst forth, blocking the God Slaying Sword.
Chu Li suddenly understood that he was able to injure the Spirit Tiger in the void of his mind because it was in a defenseless state when it was in the void of his mind. Now that it was out of his mind, the Deity Killing Sword had to invade its mind in order to stab it. Unfortunately, its body as a supreme spirit beast was strong enough to block the Deity Killing Sword, causing the Deity Killing Sword to lose its effect.
"Human, you deserve to die!" The male spirit tiger said slowly.
Chu Li asked, "Is this how you supreme spirit beasts do things?"
"Die!" The Male Spirit Tiger could not be bothered to say anything else and leaped towards Chu Li.
Chu Li's body was weak and he was immobilized by the spiritual energy of the two Spirit Tigers. There was nowhere for him to hide.
He suddenly scoffed and said, "I can die, but I have a request!"
"Speak!" The male Spirit Tiger suddenly froze in the air and retracted his claws that were about to touch Chu Li's forehead. He retreated to the side of the female Spirit Tiger and a voice rang in his mind. "Since you've saved the young tiger, do you have any last wishes?"
Chu Li said, "Protect my corpse and make this cave my burial ground. Seal the cave so that no other spirit beasts can enter and allow me to ascend to the Outland. Don't destroy my soul."
"That's two requests!" The male Spirit Tiger scoffed.
Chu Li said in a low voice, "If you don't agree to it, I'll just perish together. I can't kill you but I can injure you … Also, the young tiger will ask about my existence in the future. How will you answer it?"
"… Alright, I promise you!" The male Spirit Tiger said slowly.
Chu Li nodded and returned to the cave. He went to the jade bed and looked at the man who was sitting cross-legged.
The man looked more than a hundred years old. His eyebrows were white and his face was rosy as if he was meditating. However, there was no sign of life.
He shook his head and sighed. He went to the side of the jade bed and sat down. Then, he formed a mudra with his hands and calmly looked at the two Spirit Tigers floating in front of him. He said, "I won't let this go. We'll continue our relationship when we reach the Outland!"
"Hmph, I'll be waiting for you!" The male Spirit Tiger said in disdain.
Chu Li smiled faintly and closed his eyes. His life force quickly weakened until there was no more life force left.
Suddenly, a ray of light appeared above his head and disappeared in a flash. Then, there was no more movement.
The two Spirit Tigers stared at Chu Li carefully. After a while, they looked at each other.
Although they were determined to kill him, they could not help but feel guilty. After all, they had saved their own clan. Without Chu Li's help, the young Spirit Tiger would have died. Chu Li was indeed its savior.
Although treating their savior like this was to prevent future troubles and prevent the Spirit Tiger Clan from having any relations with humans like the Spirit Beast Sect did, it was still not right.
They sensed that Chu Li's soul had left his body and ascended to the Outland. They did not investigate further. The key was that this ascension to the Outland was the most confusing and deceiving them.
Chu Li's action was also a flash of inspiration. He saw it from the Outland before they died and used it. The Supreme King Kong that left the void of his mind rushed into the sky and went up along the red pillar.
When the two Spirit Tigers left, the Supreme King Kong returned to the void of his mind along the red pillar.
A day later, Chu Li suddenly disappeared and appeared on a mountain peak. He was not in a hurry to return to the High Duke's Public House and King An's Imperial Residence. He did not want to attract the Spirit Tigers' pursuit and cause trouble for them.
The moonlight shone on him like water. He sat on this unknown mountain peak and looked up at the full moon. He used the Life and Death Scripture to heal his injuries.
He used the Life and Death Scripture. After his body died, the Spirit Tigers' spiritual energy and Vermillion Bird's Fire stopped attacking as if they were not interested in dead things. Once Chu Li came back to life, they started attacking again.
Chu Li suddenly turned his head to look behind him. A black figure slowly appeared from the void. He held a long knife in his hand. Under the moonlight, it was as black as ink and seemed to devour all the light around him.
Chu Li frowned. The person was wrapped tightly in black clothes, revealing only a pair of cold eyes. Chu Li could not see the person's face, but he recognized the person with a tall and thin figure.
"Commander Meng?" He chuckled. "Commander Meng is very capable. You actually found this place!"
It did not seem difficult to find him but Chu Li knew that it was not an easy task.
