Chapter 177
Zi Chen was shocked to see that the Dragon-Tiger Beast was severely injured. Just then, he heard the sound of something breaking through the air.
He turned around and was furious. The three of them ran away at the same time. They were not loyal at all.
Zi Chen was the last to run again.
As soon as he entered the forest, he heard Liu Bo's roar. His body trembled and he ran even faster.
"A forbidden weapon is too scary. It can kill with one hit."
Zi Chen was shocked. Liu Bo was not as strong as him, but if he took out a forbidden weapon, Zi Chen would be dead for sure.
After running for more than ten miles, the four of them stopped.
"Everyone, the Dragon-Tiger Beast is severely injured. Why don't we turn back and kill it together?" The young man suggested. His clothes were tattered.
"You're a fool, aren't you? That Dragon-Tiger Beast is so strong that we can't even break its defense. Even if it's heavily injured, it's not on the brink of death. We can't kill it," Zi Chen mocked.
The Dragon-Tiger Beast would run away in the face of a forbidden weapon. Even if it was severely injured, it would be furious when it saw them. A furious Dragon-Tiger Beast was terrifying. Zi Chen did not think that the four of them could kill it.
"Hmph." The young man snorted and turned to look at the burly man and the old man.
"Indeed." The burly man shook his head, disappointment in his eyes.
"Sigh, this is a great opportunity. We have to give it up. Unless Liu Bo is willing to help us again." The old man shook his head and sighed.
"Indeed."
The young man was also depressed. However, he quickly composed himself and said, "I'm here to look for treasures. Since we can't kill the Dragon-Tiger Beast, I'll take my leave."
Then, without waiting for the three of them to reply, he flew into the forest. His clothes swayed and the tattered cloth shook.
"Tattered cloth."
Zi Chen's eyes flashed coldly. A murderous intent rose from the bottom of his heart.
"What do you want?" The burly man stared at Zi Chen and asked mockingly.
"I want to kill him. He plotted against me before. He has evil intentions." Zi Chen said. However, the murderous intent in his eyes had disappeared.
"Then go and kill them." The big man waved his hand, but there was a hint of mockery in his eyes.
"I changed my mind again. I don't want to kill anymore."
Zi Chen said, "What's more, the two of you aren't any better. You don't have any morals. Let's part ways here."
After he finished speaking, Zi Chen turned around and left. His figure was elegant and he walked away magnanimously. However, he was regretful that he couldn't kill the Longhu Beast.
"We don't care about morality, haha." The burly man laughed.
The old man smiled. Seeing that Zi Chen had really left and was about to disappear into the dense forest, he finally opened his mouth. "I say, kid, you really gave up on that token. Without it, it's impossible to obtain the inheritance of the Everlasting Sect."
"What can I do if I don't give up? You can kill the Dragon-Tiger Beast if you have the ability." Zi Chen sneered without turning his head.
"Of course we won't be able to kill it. But if you follow me, I promise you that you will be able to witness the death of the Dragon-Tiger Beast with your own eyes." The old man smiled.
Zi Chen turned his head and stared at the old man. "You're joking."
"I'm already so old. Why would I joke with a kid like you?" The old man also stared at Zi Chen.
"If even we can't kill the Dragon-Tiger Beast, who else can? Are you sure that Liu Bo will go back?"
"Of course not. That guy values the forbidden weapon more than his life. Every strike is like taking half of his life away. It's better to count on yourself than count on him."
"Then who else?"
"Didn't he go? Didn't you see?" The old man smiled. "This time, don't say that we didn't call you."
"You mean that piece of cloth has the ability to kill the Dragon-Tiger Beast?" Zi Chen was very surprised. No matter how he looked at it, the piece of cloth was ordinary.
"That kid is very sinister. He must have left in a hurry to find the Dragon-Tiger Beast. Follow us. I guarantee that you won't be taken advantage of." This time, it was the burly man who spoke.
"His strength is ordinary." Zi Chen still didn't understand.
"Are you stupid? His strength is ordinary, but what if he has a forbidden weapon?" The burly man glared.
"Forbidden weapon? You're saying that piece of cloth has a forbidden weapon? Haha, are you kidding?"
Zi Chen laughed as if he had heard a joke. "If he has a forbidden weapon, he would have waited until now."
"Do you want me to say that you're honest or that you're stupid? That kid is from Floating Snow City. His skills are all extremely cold. He's already at Peak Xiantian at such a young age. His identity is definitely not ordinary. It's impossible for him to come to the ruins without a forbidden weapon."
The burly man sneered. "Do you think everyone is like you?"
"He really has a forbidden weapon." Zi Chen didn't care about the burly man's sarcasm. He just couldn't believe it.
That guy actually has a forbidden weapon. That guy actually has a forbidden weapon. This was too unbelievable.
"We'll know whether he has it or not when we see it." The old man said indifferently.
"Okay."
The three of them quickly left. However, Zi Chen's heart was extremely shaken. There was a forbidden artifact. That thing sounded very precious and was definitely very rare. This was the first time he had heard of it, but he was going to see it twice in one day.
"This thing is a forbidden weapon, not a cabbage."
Zi Chen muttered as if he had thought of something. He asked, "Then according to what you said, those big forces should have forbidden weapons this time."
"Of course. Otherwise, why would they come here?" The burly man sneered.
"Oh my god, is this thing really a cabbage? Then give me one too."
"A cabbage."
The burly man laughed involuntarily and said, "In the outside world, these things are extremely rare, but in this place, they might really be as common as cabbages. Any random genius with a backer should have one."
Finally, the burly man added, "Of course, that doesn't include you."
Zi Chen was so angry that he vomited blood.
The three turned back and went around the cursing Liu Bo. Once again, they came to the place where they met the Dragon-Tiger Beast.
Far away, the three of them hid in the dark. The Dragon-Tiger Beast was lying on the ground. Blood flowed out of its body and dyed the ground red. It was listless, but it was not dying. It definitely still had the strength to fight.
If the three of them rushed forward, they would definitely be torn apart by the angry Dragon-Tiger Beast.
"Are you sure that the ragged cloth has a forbidden weapon and will come back?" Zi Chen asked softly.
"Shut up. I wasn't sure before, but after listening to you all the way here, I'm sure now. Just wait for the token." The burly man scolded.
The three of them hid in the dark and waited quietly.
One minute, two minutes … A full fifteen minutes passed, but there was still no sign of anyone.
Zi Chen was a little anxious. After so long, the Dragon-Tiger Beast did not become weak. Instead, it stopped bleeding and seemed to be recovering.
Compared to him, the other two were much calmer.
Another quarter of an hour passed. Just as Zi Chen was about to lose his patience, he finally saw a figure.
"Ragged cloth, you're here."
The first thing Zi Chen saw was a tattered piece of cloth swaying in the wind. Then, a young man appeared cautiously.
"Hmph, a bunch of idiots with pig brains."
After glancing behind and making sure that no one was following them, the young man sneered.
"Roar."
The Dragon-Tiger Beast's spiritual sense was very strong. It noticed the young man's arrival immediately. It roared and stood up like a small mountain. However, it affected its wound and blood flowed out again.
The Dragon-Tiger Beast's eyes were red. Its aura was still violent and murderous as it stared at the young man.
"Beast, today is the day you die." The young man shouted with disdain.
"Roar."
The Dragon-Tiger Beast roared. Its eyes were filled with murderous intent. It crouched down and seemed to be preparing for a powerful attack.
However, in the next moment, the murderous look in its eyes was replaced by fear. The young man flipped his hand, and a palm-sized spear appeared. The spear emitted a dense blood-red light, as if it had been fished out from a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood.
"Forbidden weapon, it's indeed a forbidden weapon."
Zi Chen's eyes flickered. Another forbidden weapon. This young man was indeed not ordinary.
It had a different appearance, but a familiar aura. The Dragon-Tiger Beast's heart skipped a beat. Its eyes were filled with fear. It turned around and ran without hesitation.
"Bastard, die!"
The young man activated the True Qi in his body and threw the bloody spear high into the air.
"Buzz."
The spear vibrated and a bloody aura burst out. The palm-sized spear turned into an ordinary spear in an instant. The glaring red light made it hard for people to open their eyes. At the same time, it was accompanied by a powerful aura.
The poor Dragon-Tiger Beast was strong and could defeat everything. However, it could only run for its life after encountering a forbidden weapon that should not exist in this world.
"Swoosh."
However, in terms of speed, it was no match for the crimson spear. The latter was like a crimson ray that streaked across the sky, carrying a crazy murderous intent as if it had traversed a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood as it charged toward the Dragon-Tiger Beast's head.
"Roar."
The Dragon-Tiger Beast sensed the danger and let out a deafening roar. At the same time, its millstone-sized head dodged to the side.
"Swoosh."
The spear brushed past the Dragon-Tiger Beast's head and broke a few of its scales. It whizzed into the distance and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
The Dragon-Tiger Beast was overjoyed. It turned around and ran, thinking that it had dodged the attack.
But then, a sharp whistling sound rang out, and the blood-red spear turned back again. Like a divine arrow, it pierced through the air and ruthlessly pierced into the head of the Dragon-Tiger Beast.
"Boom."
At the same time, a terrifying energy burst out and destroyed the Dragon-Tiger Beast's head. The latter's mountain-like body fell to the ground with a loud bang and dust flew up.
"It's dead. The Dragon-Tiger Beast died just like that."
Zi Chen was extremely shocked when he saw this. A Dragon-Tiger Beast that was considered invincible in this place had died after being struck twice by a forbidden weapon.
Seeing the Dragon-Tiger Beast fall to the ground, the burly man and the old man's eyes were filled with eagerness.
"Swoosh."
The bloody spear returned to the size of a palm. However, there were some cracks on the surface. Apparently, there was a limit to the number of times it could be used. When the energy was depleted, it would shatter.
The young man's eyes flashed with pain. He flipped his hand and put away the bloody spear.
"These idiots have obviously left. This token is mine." Seeing the corpse on the ground, the young man's expression softened.
However, at this moment, a hearty laugh was heard. The young man's body trembled as if he had been electrocuted.
"Haha, impressive. You killed the Dragon-Tiger Beast. Not bad, not bad."
