Chapter 405: The Terrifying Tiger Spirit! (Eight Thousand Today!)
"Clap clap clap!"

A round of applause came from the back hall. Xin Zhen looked up and saw the evil spirits making way for him. A burly middle-aged man dressed in brocade clothes and looking like a wealthy man stepped out from the crowd. He clapped his hands and smiled at Xin Zhen, saying, "What a talented young man you are. You must be practicing the Pure Yang Kung Fu. Wow, it smells so good, so good! Slurp!"

The burly middle-aged rich man in brocade clothes slurped his food, and then he looked at Xin Zhen as if he were looking at a delicious dish.

Xin Zhen smelled a strong smell of urine and blood, then looked at the sturdy middle-aged man's brocade clothes, frowned, and said, "Tiger spirit?"

The burly rich man in brocade clothes grinned and said, "You have good eyesight, and you are really capable. No wonder you were able to kill so many of my minions. Hiss!

You killed the ghosts I had accumulated for many years. I was heartbroken, but if a master like you were to be my ghost, it would not be a loss. "

Xin Zhen snorted, and his figure shot out like a ghost, pouncing towards the rich man in brocade clothes. Immediately, the evil ghosts around the rich man in brocade clothes came towards Xin Zhen to stop him. A ball of sword light burst out from the group of evil ghosts, and immediately broken arms and limbs flew up, and heads rolled to the ground.

Xin Zhen rushed towards the middle-aged man in brocade clothes without stopping, and slashed his sword at the man's throat. The man in brocade clothes grinned and put his palm in front of his throat. When the sword and palm met, a sharp claw popped out to block Xin Zhen's sword, making a clanging sound of metal collision.

Xin Zhen only felt a tremendous force coming from the long sword, and his body could not stop retreating. Xin Zhen was horrified, and when he raised the sword, he saw that there were several cracks on the blade of the long sword made of fine steel!
What a hard claw!
What a great speed!

What a force!
Is this the true strength of the goblin?
The middle-aged man in brocade clothes stretched out a thick and long tongue with barbs and licked the claws on his hand. He smiled and said, "It has some strength. It can help me sharpen my claws. The road has been blocked by heavy snow recently, and no one has come. My claws have become much duller."

Xin Zhen narrowed his eyes. The claws of the tiger were too sharp. This steel sword was just mortal steel, so there was no way he could fight it head-on. However, he was able to defeat it with his mysterious swordsmanship.

Xin Zhen turned his wrist, and the long sword outlined a white shining sword flower. He slipped and pointed another sword at the throat of the man in brocade clothes. The man in brocade clothes grabbed the long sword with one claw. Xin Zhen retracted the long sword and dragged it down two inches to avoid the claw of the man in brocade clothes. Then he stabbed and scratched. The man in brocade clothes roared in pain, and the brocade clothes under his ribs were torn, revealing some hair with blood on it.

Xin Zhen suddenly felt relieved: I can break through the defense!

If the sword cannot even break the opponent's body defense, then Xin Zhen will have to find a way to escape immediately. Since it can break the defense, there is still a chance to use his swordsmanship to break it.

The middle-aged man in brocade clothes saw the blood oozing from his ribs and suddenly became furious. He roared loudly, rolled to the ground, and immediately turned into a huge white-browed tiger with hanging eyes.

Xin Zhen took a look and immediately took a breath of cold air. Even when the tiger was half-crouching and preparing to attack, it was at least as tall as a man. If it stood up and raised its head, wouldn't it be at least ten feet tall?
Xin Zhen thought solemnly, "I don't know if the sliding tackle mentioned by netizens is useful, but I'm afraid it won't be very useful. A tiger this big could just slide into its mouth with a sliding tackle."

The tiger spirit roared and pounced towards Xin Zhen, and a tiger paw as big as a palm-leaf fan slapped at him. A gust of wind immediately made it difficult for Xin Zhen to breathe. Xin Zhen did not dare to delay, and immediately performed the "Willow Step in the Wind", dodging the tiger's paw like a willow in the wind. The tiger's paw hit the ground with a sudden roar, and the ground shattered and collapsed. It can be seen how terrifying the power of this paw is!
Xin Zhen dodged the tiger's paw and was about to slash at it with his sword, but a strong wind blew over and he glanced over, and saw a tiger's tail as thick as an adult's thigh sweeping towards him, and all the tables and chairs blocking the way were swept into pieces.

The tiger's tail was wrapped with bullet-like fragments, forming a large-scale fan-shaped attack. Whether he was crouching or jumping up, it was difficult to protect himself. As for using an iron vest to withstand it, this stupid idea did not even appear in Xin Zhen's mind.

Xin Zhen swung the sword backwards, and it stabbed into the crossbar with a thud. Then he extended his right foot forward and drew circles with his hands. A strong force stirred the air into ripples, and the fragments that were shot out like bullets suddenly stopped in the air. Xin Zhen seemed to be moving slowly, but he was actually very fast, with both hands on the tiger's tail.

Then Xin Zhen flew up as if he was swept away by the tiger's tail. However, it was not the case. Xin Zhen attached himself to the tiger's tail like a maggot. When the tiger's tail swung to the other side, Xin Zhen landed on the ground with both feet, held the tiger's tail firmly with both hands, and used the force of the swing to shout in a deep voice: "Get up!"

Great Shift of the Universe, Tai Chi, The Change of Stars... Xin Zhen mixed together many magical skills of using the opponent's force to fight against him. He used the force of the tiger's tail to achieve a great victory with a small force and actually threw the huge tiger spirit away!
The tiger demon was just about to turn around to see where the human had been slapped by its tail and flew away, but unexpectedly, it felt a huge force coming from its tail, and even with its huge body, it felt as if it was floating.

"Boom!"

The tiger demon's huge body smashed the wall, and a large section of the back wall collapsed, and the tiger demon disappeared behind the house.

Even though those minions were controlled by the tiger spirit, they also showed a hint of horror at this moment.

Xin Zhen shot to the beam like lightning, took out his sword, and then broke through the tiles on the roof. He touched the roof and chased after it like a flying bird.

Unexpectedly, the tiger spirit was not easy to deal with. Xin Zhen had just jumped out when the tiger spirit pounced on him. Xin Zhen stretched out his hand and slapped the roof, and immediately shot to the other side to avoid the tiger spirit's attack. With one palm of the tiger spirit, the huge inn suddenly collapsed on one side.

Xin Zhen didn't have time to worry about Xin Qi, because the tiger spirit immediately chased after him again.

The sky and the earth were covered in white. Even at night, one could see clearly under the reflection of the snow.

The ten-foot-tall giant tiger ran with an extremely terrifying momentum, wrapped in wind and snow, rushing towards us like an ancient ferocious beast!

Even though Xin Zhen had experienced countless battles, he couldn't help but his eyes twitching at this moment.

The ratio of a tiger's shoulder height to its body length is approximately one to three. A tiger that is ten feet tall is three feet long. A tiger as big as a house rushing towards you head on, what a visual impact it is!

Xin Zhen complained in his heart, who the hell said that the monsters in Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio were easy to deal with? Monsters of this size would be hard to deal with even for an ordinary tiger, let alone this being a tiger monster!
If Xin Zhen was alone, he would have turned around and ran away, but there was another Xin Qi in the room... Oh no!
Xin Zhen suddenly remembered that there were some ghosts in the house. He chased them out, wondering if Xin Qi would be eaten by the ghosts. But he soon felt relieved. The ghosts were controlled by the tiger spirit. As long as the tiger spirit was alive, the tiger spirit would eventually eat the meat. The ghosts did not dare to act on their own.

However, the situation is still extremely difficult. If he runs away, Xin Qi will surely die. But if he doesn't run away, the tiger spirit is so powerful that it will be extremely difficult to kill it.

try again!
Xin Zhen immediately made a decision and decided to try whether his sword could break the defense of the tiger spirit in its original form. If it could, there would still be a chance. If it couldn't even break the defense, then today would be a life-and-death situation.

The tiger demon was huge in size, but its speed was not slow, as fast as lightning. It was right in front of them in the blink of an eye. Clouds came from the dragon, wind came from the tiger. As the tiger demon approached, a strong wind whistled, carrying a lot of snow particles in their faces. The cold wind penetrated through the cotton-padded clothes, and even Xin Zhen couldn't help feeling chilled to the bone. If he were an ordinary person, he would probably be frozen to death by this bone-chilling wind.

Xin Zhen performed the Windward Willow Step, and in the strong wind, he was like a willow branch swaying wildly in the wind. The tiger spirit stretched out its palm to attack, swept its tail, and bit with its mouth, but Xin Zhen dodged all of them. However, if you defend for too long, you will lose. The tiger spirit can make many mistakes, but Xin Zhen cannot make any mistakes. Xin Zhen patiently waited for the opportunity to kill with one blow. Although this tiger has become a spirit, its weakness is still under its belly. Although the netizens' sliding tackle is unreliable, their judgment of the weakness is correct.

After dodging many attacks, Xin Zhen finally found an opportunity. The tiger spirit had been attacking without success for a long time and became a little impatient. It suddenly jumped into the air and attacked from top to bottom. Xin Zhen made a sliding tackle... Huh?

Xin Zhen really slid to the tiger monster's belly, slapped the snow with his hand, leaped up like lightning, and stabbed the tiger monster's belly with a sword. There was a "puff" sound, and the long sword went in without a handle. The tiger monster let out a terrifying roar of pain.

Xin Zhen had just landed and was about to dodge when a tiger's tail whistled towards him. This time, Xin Zhen couldn't dodge it. There was no other reason, but that his internal energy had been consumed too much and there was no way to support him to continue dodging.

Xin Zhen used his iron shirt, took a deep breath, and lightened his body, allowing Hu Wei to swat him away like a mosquito.

Xin Zhen fell over a hundred meters away and landed in snow that was two feet thick, where he was buried.

Hearing the heavy footsteps approaching, Xin Zhen felt exhausted all over, but he was unwilling to be killed. He took a breath of true energy and jumped out of the snow. He saw the tiger spirit approaching step by step, also staggering a little, and blood from its abdomen kept dripping onto the snow.

When the tiger demon saw Xin Zhen jumping out, his eyes widened, he became furious, and roared again.

A fishy wind blew in his face, and his clothes were rustling, but Xin Zhen still looked at the tiger spirit without changing his expression.

The tiger demon became even angrier, and was about to pounce on Xin Zhen and swallow him in one gulp. Suddenly, there was a sound of drums in the air, followed by a dragon's roar that resounded through heaven and earth. The tiger demon immediately fell to the ground on all fours, and looked up at the sky in uncertainty.

Xin Zhen also looked up at the sky, and saw a flash of dragon claws in the thick clouds. Then he saw two divine dragons carrying snow jars, and the divine men on the dragons were pouring snow down scoop by scoop.

The divine man on the other dragon was still beating the drum, not even looking down, but this green divine dragon blinked at Xin Zhen, then stretched out its claws to intimidate the tiger spirit.

Xin Zhen: “…” Do I recognize you?

When the tiger demon saw the divine man and the divine dragon, he was already trembling all over. When he saw the threatening move of the divine dragon, he was even more horrified. He suddenly left Xin Zhen and turned around to run into the wild.

Xin Zhen breathed a sigh of relief and looked up at the sky. The gods and dragons had already hidden in the clouds, and only the sound of the gods beating drums was left getting farther and farther away.

Xin Zhen bowed toward the sky in gratitude, thinking, "Who says that immortals and gods are invisible? It's probably just that mortals can't see them with their mortal eyes."

Xin Zhen felt exhausted all over, and he walked towards the wild inn through the snow, hoping that Xin Qi was okay, otherwise it would be difficult to explain to his parents when he returned.

Half of the wild inn collapsed. Xin Zhen entered through the gate. The previous warm and noisy scene was gone. It was just an abandoned post station. Xin Zhen looked for Xin Qi inside. Xin Qi was already frozen unconscious. Xin Zhen sighed, took a deep breath, squeezed out some internal strength and sent it over. Only then did Xin Qi wake up.

The master and servant quickly found a place sheltered from the wind, built a fire, hung a kettle over the fire, filled it with snow, boiled water and drank it. Only then did the master and servant breathe a sigh of relief.

At this point, Xin Zhen finally felt a little scared. If it weren't for that god and the dragon lending a hand, he would have died today.

Xin Zhen carefully reviewed today's battle and finally understood that his top-notch martial arts skills, which were so powerful in the world of martial arts, were still too low to be used in this world of gods and demons.

Although this tiger spirit was strong, it was not extremely strong. It almost killed itself with just its flesh and blood.

To be honest, that god and dragon were just laborers in heaven. It had been snowing everywhere these past few days. Such a god who did practical work was probably a low-level god in heaven. But just one look was enough to scare the tiger demon to death.

Xin Zhen came to a conclusion that if he wanted to protect himself in this world, he still had to practice the skills of this world.

But from what Shi Taipu said, the skills in this world are not easily passed on. It is even more difficult than in the world of martial arts. I don't know if I have this opportunity.

Thinking of this, Xin Zhen looked at Xin Qi who looked a little depressed, and suddenly asked, "Xin Qi, do you want to learn martial arts?"

Xin Qi was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and then said happily: "Is it your warm thing, Master? I do, I do!
You are extremely strong, not afraid of cold or heat, and you travel tirelessly. I guess it's because you practiced this martial art, right?"

Xin Zhen smiled and nodded, saying, "That's it. You only need to practice for a few months, and you will be able to be like me. After practicing for a few years, flying over eaves and walking on walls will be commonplace."

Xin Qi was unwilling at all, he nodded repeatedly and shed tears of gratitude.

Xin Zhen then passed on the Quanzhen Heart Method to Xin Qi. After Xin Qi had mastered the Quanzhen Heart Method, he taught him the Yi Jin and Jian Gu Chapter. In just one or two years, Xin Qi was able to walk like the wind.

I may be looking for opportunities in the next few years or even decades, and Xin Qi will definitely follow me. When the time comes, he will travel around the world with me and will not be a burden. Even if he cannot defeat the monster, it is a good thing to be able to escape.

That night, Xin Zhen was afraid that Xin Qi would get sick and delay their journey, so he used the Chunyang Wuji Gong to help Xin Qi drive away the coldness and the damage caused by close contact with ghosts. The next day, Xin Qi was full of energy again and they set off on their journey together.
