Demon, don't come any closer!

Chapter 7 Yao Yao, I also want to get promoted and make a fortune.

Dust flew everywhere.

A figure rolled continuously, his clothes stained with dust. Fang Ziyu coughed up blood, the bright red blood spurting from his mouth staining his chest as if it were free, falling into the mud and forming a pool of blood.

He slammed his hand on the ground, releasing pure internal energy from his palm, unleashing a powerful impact.

The pure blue azure energy, like an invisible hand, supported Fang Ziyu's body, and with this recoil, Fang Ziyu was able to stand up.

Gang Qi (罡气).

This is the mark of the seventh rank in martial arts.

Fang Ziyu was born in the headquarters of the Golden Jade Guard. He cultivated the orthodox method. If he continued step by step, he would be able to become a top-three level expert, erect a statue, and ascend to a divine position.

The condensed qi is also extraordinary, and is called Azure Jade Qi.

The World's Qi Ranking lists 108 types, each with its own mysteries.

The Azure Jade Qi ranks fifty-eighth and is unique to the Xiang family of the Lower Prime Minister. After the Xiang family of the Lower Prime Minister made a large number of appointments and went abroad, they donated the Azure Jade Qi, which became the cornerstone of important institutions such as the Golden Jade Guard.

Even if one is qualified to cultivate, it does not mean that one can succeed in cultivation.

Fang Ziyu has gradually cultivated his Qi and condensed his Qi, completing the Azure Jade Qi cultivation, which has proven his talent and makes him worthy of being an elite member of the Golden Jade Guard.

The reason this is happening now is not because Fang Ziyu is incompetent, but because the ferocious tiger is too strong.

Fang Ziyu's sneak attack failed, and his Azure Jade Qi was insufficient to break through the defense. This made Fang Ziyu realize one thing: he had underestimated his opponent. This was definitely not an ordinary demon; the opponent's cultivation might have exceeded a hundred years.

Demons are not judged by rank, but by their cultivation level. A demon with a hundred years of cultivation is no longer a low-ranking demon, but a sixth-rank demon in martial arts.

No, the difference between the middle three ranks and the lower three ranks is enormous.

If someone truly possessed a century's worth of cultivation, it wouldn't just harm them, but kill them with a single blow.

Fang Ziyu's extensive knowledge allowed him to immediately grasp the key point: it was the effect of some kind of demonic artifact. This was definitely not some rural monster; the ferocious tiger must have some kind of origin.

Having acquired a demonic weapon, especially a defensive one, the ferocious tiger was extremely troublesome. Therefore, Fang Ziyu planned to temporarily avoid its sharp edge and prepare thoroughly before making his move next time.

This isn't a difference in strength, but rather a lack of a treasure.

Jin Yuwei's family is large and powerful. After learning about the other party's background, he can naturally choose a treasure to target them. This is also why the Six Doors are a good place for cultivation.

The ferocious tiger took a step forward and threw a punch.

A dense, pungent, and malevolent aura surged forth like the Yangtze River, overwhelming everything in its path.

Fang Ziyu raised his arm slightly, and the Azure Jade Qi emanated from the tip of his sword, flickering like a flame. Just as Fang Ziyu was about to make his next move, a roar rang out.

The roar of the tiger shook all directions.

The loud sound waves were visible to the naked eye, spreading out in circles like ripples. Fang Ziyu's movements froze involuntarily. This tiger's roar came unexpectedly, even though it came after he had come later.

The overwhelming demonic aura was powerful and arrogant, but this punch was just a feint; the tiger's real killing move was this roar.

After its successful strike, the ferocious tiger seized the opportunity, pushed off with its feet, and cracks appeared on the paved bluestone ground. With a burst of powerful force, the tiger shot out like a cannonball.

It opened its mouth in mid-air, revealing sharp teeth. As it approached Fang Ziyu, the mouth grew larger and larger, eventually transforming into a gaping maw.

Fang Ziyu felt dizzy and saw stars. Suddenly, he smelled a foul odor and immediately realized something was wrong. But as soon as he made a move, everything went black before his eyes. He then felt an excruciating pain, let out a scream, and then knew nothing more.

From Dou Changsheng's perspective, the ferocious tiger leaped up and swallowed half of Fang Ziyu's body whole.

A person was bitten in half at the waist, blood spurting everywhere and splattering all over the tiger's face. The huge mouth kept chewing, and swallowing motions appeared in its throat. It opened its mouth again and swallowed the mutilated lower half in one gulp.

The ferocious tiger began to chew slowly, as if savoring the taste of a corpse.

Bloody, brutal, and extremely disturbing.

Dou Changsheng was pale. Even though it wasn't the first time he had seen such a scene, he was still not used to it.

Especially the blood of Fang Ziyu's death, which was now flowing down the tiger's cheeks, made the tiger look ferocious and terrifying.

As the tiger slowly devoured all the flesh and blood, a look of comfort appeared on its face. However, the blood-covered face made Dou Changsheng instinctively want to back away, but in the end, reason prevented him from succumbing to his physical fear.

The ferocious tiger stared intently at Dou Changsheng, and coldly asked, "What's going on here?"

Dou Changsheng couldn't help but curse Jin Yuwei in his heart once again. They talked big but were actually taken down in no time. They even mocked them as country bumpkins. In reality, they were the ones who were the bumpkins from the capital.

Luckily, I, Lao Dou, have sharp eyes, otherwise I might have been directly implicated and killed.

Dou Changsheng quickly explained, "This has nothing to do with me."

"It was arranged by the magistrate; I was just responsible for bringing people here."

"I never expected that this would be an assassin."

"Brother Hu, please give me a chance. I will definitely make the magistrate give you a satisfactory explanation."

"If Brother Tiger doesn't believe me, you can come with me to the magistrate for a confrontation."

Dou Changsheng spoke sincerely, his expression earnest, and his gaze met the fierce tiger's openly. He had no guilty conscience, for all his words were true, though Dou Changsheng had omitted the beginning and end of his sentences.

The Golden Jade Guards were arranged by Cui Shuyu, and they were rewarded afterwards. He gave the money to the fierce tiger, which was his way of explaining himself.

Fierce Tiger laughed heartily and said in a cheerful tone, "What are you saying, brother? How could I not believe you, brother?"

"But you've been fooled this time, brother. Be careful next time. As the saying goes, those who are not of our kind will surely have different hearts."

"These people are very cunning; they're all cunning and sly, not physically strong."

"We demons are the true masters of heaven and earth; let us not make a single mistake that will haunt us for eternity."

"Thinking back to how majestic His Majesty the Demon Ancestor was back then, ruling over the nine heavens and ten earths, gods and saints alike had to bow down and call themselves demons."

"The Sun and Moon Demon Court ruled over all living beings under heaven. How glorious we were! Unfortunately, after the War of the Rending Heaven, the Demon Masters and Heavenly Officials fought for power, leading to the rise of various races. Yet, the world still reveres the Demon Ancestor and uses the Myriad Demon Calendar."

"To make the demon race great again is the dream of every demon."

"I accidentally received information about a covert operation called Project Bai Ze."

"have no idea?"

The fierce tiger's eyes showed anticipation as it tentatively inquired.

Dou Changsheng was startled. No wonder the fierce tiger was so easy to talk to. Something felt off. So that was the reason. It was a misunderstanding.

He immediately denied it, saying, "I don't know."

The fierce tiger said happily, "Yes, yes, yes, I just don't know."

He acted as if he knew everything, which was misleading, but he had his own ulterior motives.

Because Bai Ze's plan was fabricated by him, it would be a miracle if he knew about it.

However, he had had enough of this remote and impoverished place. If he couldn't have one, he would create one. This was his chance to return to the holy mountain.

If there aren't any major cases, just create one yourself.

If there's no opportunity, create one. That's what all humans do, so why can't I?
