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 slowly softened, and he was about to kneel down.
He restrained his impulse with all his might and straightened his knees that were about to fall to the ground.
Nothing strange could be seen in his mind, but his figure was flickering and becoming weaker. In reality, he was bleeding from his seven orifices, as if there was an infinite force pressing down on him, trying to make his body collapse.
While the Indestructible Body of Vajra was powerful enough to withstand the flames of the Vermilion Bird and two to three attacks from the spirit tiger, it could only defend against external enemies. It could not defend against the enemies in the depths of one's mind.
It could only defend against physical attacks, but it could not defend against soul attacks.
"ROAR!" The spirit tiger roared once more in Lin Fan's mind.
The shadow that Chu Li condensed became dim and weak again, 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 murderous intent boiled. The ancient sword became clearer and more real as it slowly floated towards the Spirit Tiger. However, it looked as tiny as a needle in front of the Spirit Tiger. The Spirit Tiger glanced at the ancient sword with a look of disdain.
It had already experienced the power of this God Slaying Sword before, it was very ordinary, unable to do anything to it.
"Roar!" Seeing that Chu Li was still unyielding, it roared again.
The space in Zhang Xuan's mind began to tremble, as though an earthquake had occurred.
Chu Li's figure in the void of his mind was getting dimmer and dimmer, almost to the point of disappearing.
He knew that once his body dissipated, his soul would also dissipate and he would become a walking corpse. It was no different from dying. It was hard to say if the Life and Death Scripture could save him.
Under such circumstances, he did not activate the Life and Death Scripture. Although the Life and Death Scripture was powerful, it could not defend against the enemy.
"Chi!" The Deity Vanquishing Sword suddenly let out a clear hum and pierced the spirit tiger's left eye.
"ROAR!" The spirit tiger let out a deafening roar.
Chu Li couldn't care less about anything else. He exited the void of his mind and returned to reality. His body was already sitting on the ground weakly. Fortunately, the Supreme Diamond Scripture was still circulating the Indestructible Body of Vajra to block the flames of the Vermilion Bird and the spiritual energy of the Spirit Tiger.
He couldn't care less about the condition of his body. There was only one thought in his mind – escape!
Activating his God's Feet, Zhang Xuan tried to escape, only to realize that the space around him 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. He retracted his claws that were about to touch Chu Li's forehead and retreated to the side of the female Spirit Tiger. 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 other spirit beasts can't enter and let me 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. Moreover, 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 beard and eyebrows were white and his face was rosy as if he was meditating. However, he was no longer breathing.
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 wait for you!" The male Spirit Tiger said in disdain.
Chu Li smiled faintly and closed his eyes. His breathing quickly weakened until there was no more breath 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 a little 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 ascending 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. What left was the Supreme King Kong in the void of his mind. It rushed into the sky and went up along the red pillar.
When it sensed that the two Spirit Tigers had left, the Supreme King Kong returned to the void of his mind along the red pillar.
A day later, Chu Li suddenly disappeared on the spot. The next moment, he appeared at the peak of a mountain. 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 sprinkled on his body like water. He sat on the peak of this unknown mountain and looked up at the full moon. He used the Life and Death Scripture to heal his injuries.
After using the Life and Death Scripture, the spiritual energy of the Spirit Tigers and the Fire of the Vermillion Bird stopped attacking. It was 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 tall and thin figure at a glance.
"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.
