Chapter 506: Chapter 506 Tiger Emperor

Crack—

A thirty-meter-tall tree was split apart by a fluffy black paw, followed by the appearance of a giant bear in front of Qin Jun and his companions.

Standing on its hind legs, the bear was shrouded in formidable black fur, towering ten meters high. Positioned on the slope, it stood like an iron tower, blocking Qin Jun and the others with a violent aura that caused the surrounding vegetation to tremble incessantly.

Upon seeing this demon bear, Liu Ruolai and the Cat People girl couldn’t help but shrink their necks.

To them, a fifth-rank demon beast was an absolute nightmare.

But in Qin Jun’s eyes, it was just a minor nuisance!

"Hmph! How dare you block my path, seeking death!" Qin Jun raised his right hand. Dragon energy surged out of his body, taking the shape of a Four-clawed Golden Dragon, with an unstoppable momentum that assaulted the demon bear.

How majestic was the Four-clawed Golden Dragon—Liu Ruolai and the Cat People girl were dazzled by its might, while the demon bear, in great alarm, hastily opened its mouth to spew forth terrifying demonic power, rampaging towards the Four-clawed Golden Dragon like a black light cannon.

With a thunderous boom!

The Four-clawed Golden Dragon and the beam of demonic power collided, and in an instant, a brilliant flash erupted, with gusts of wind uprooting nearby trees.

A smirk formed on Qin Jun’s lips as the Four-clawed Golden Dragon roared and forcefully dispersed the beam of demonic power.

Then, the Four-clawed Golden Dragon ferociously tore forward, and with a splash, it pierced through the demon bear’s chest, splattering blood everywhere. The bear’s pupils immediately contracted, filled with an incredulous look.

It couldn’t believe it was defeated so easily.

Liu Ruolai was stunned, still unable to snap back to reality.

The formidable demon bear was taken down in seconds?

She had never thought that battle could be this effortless. Such a demon beast must be at least of the fourth rank or higher. The thought alone made her feel chilled, yet excited at the same time.

She was indeed following the right person!

After defeating the demon bear, Qin Jun glided over its head on clouds.

Liu Ruolai, almost subconsciously, glanced down and saw that the demon bear was still struggling, evidently not yet dead.

"Hey, it’s not dead yet!" Liu Ruolai quickly reminded him.

"Let’s spare it. It’s been a long time since a demon beast has cultivated to the fifth rank," Qin Jun said calmly.

Unlike the Human Clan’s intelligence, demon beasts rely entirely on the accumulation of time for cultivation; hence, within the same rank, demon beasts are stronger.

Liu Ruolai looked at Qin Jun in surprise. Seeing his perfect profile, she suddenly felt he wasn’t as tyrannical and aloof as he appeared to be.

However, Qin Jun was precisely that.

Continuing on for several tens of miles, Qin Jun had already killed three fifth-rank demon beasts along the way, and eight of the fourth-rank, causing him to sense a plot.

"What’s going on? It feels like a mysterious force is deliberately obstructing us," Qin Jun frowned.

Zhong Kui nodded and said, "These demon beasts clearly have an organization. It’s as if they know what we’re trying to do."

Liu Ruolai didn’t dare to interrupt, only listening obediently.

Qin Jun asked the Cat People girl, "Tell us why you came to the Eastern Flame Domain."

The Cat People girl did not dare to hide anything and recounted the story from beginning to end.

It turned out that they did not intend to come to the Eastern Flame Domain. Wang Yan had arranged for a group of talented individuals from the Cat People Clan to inherit ancient traditions in the Cat People’s ancestral ruins. Now that the Southern Domain was under the control of the Great Qin Heavenly Court, with Wang Yan’s status, a single word could make the sect forces withdraw from the Cat People’s ancestral ruins.

Wang Xue and the other talents of the Cat People Clan entered the ruins to comprehend the legacy of their ancestors, when suddenly the ruins began to tremble and transported them directly to an endless realm.

In their efforts to return, they started collecting spirit stones everywhere, hoping to activate the teleportation formation once more.

Qin Jun listened and frowned, "Are you saying there’s a portal to the Southern Domain within the endless realm?"

The Cat People girl nodded.

"The Southern Domain? The Great Qin Heavenly Court?"

Liu Ruolai blinked. She had heard of the Southern Domain, which had become quite renowned in the Eastern Flame Domain after Dongfang Ji was defeated by the Holy Emperor of Qin.

Could it be that Qin Jun comes from the Southern Domain?

Meanwhile, Qin Jun and his companions were getting closer and closer to their destination.

"The Junior Clan Chief is in the cave ahead!" the Cat People girl pointed to the mountain peak emerging from the forest in front of them and said.

"Your Majesty, be careful. There are many demon beasts lurking around, even Eighth-Rank Demon Beasts!" Zhong Kui warned in a grave voice, causing Liu Ruolai’s face to lose all color.

Eighth-Rank Demon Beasts!

They were equivalent to the existence of the True Immortal Realm, and her father was merely at the cultivation level of the Immortal Realm.

Frightened, she trembled all over and muttered to herself, "We’re done for..."

She had only ever heard about Eighth-Rank Demon Beasts in legends, and now they were lying in wait around them, with baleful intent.

Just thinking about it sent shivers down her spine.

Qin Jun’s Divine Consciousness swept out, and indeed he captured Wang Xue’s faint presence within the mountain peak ahead.

Her aura was weak, but it was indeed there!

Qin Jun felt a surge of joy in his heart and hurriedly increased his speed to fly forward.

"Roar—"

"Screech—"

"Howl!"

One after another, roars resounded from the surroundings, followed by gigantic creatures emerging from all directions. There were fierce apes standing ten zhang tall, steel-feathered black eagles with wingspans of a hundred meters, and beasts resembling Sea Dragons.

At the same time, countless lower-ranked demon beasts swarmed like a tidal wave, pressuring the entire forest to tremble.

"Your Majesty, you go ahead. Leave this to me!"

Zhong Kui rose into the air with a laugh. Qin Jun nodded and swiftly rode the clouds towards the cave in front of them. Due to his high speed, Liu Ruolai and the Cat People girl had to quickly lie prone on the cloud mist.

A demonic python opened its massive mouth and lunged to bite Qin Jun and the others. Next to it, the surrounding trees seemed minuscule.

Qin Jun watched unblinkingly, while the two women screamed in terror.

A "whoosh" sound pierced the air!

A stream of Sword Energy hurtled forth, instantly shredding the demonic python into pieces, its blood raining down like a torrential downpour onto the trees above.

Qin Jun and his company arrived at the mountain peak unharmed. Halfway up the mountain, within a thicket, there was a cave.

The three of them quickly entered it.

The cave was dim and winding; soon, they reached the end. Qin Jun immediately saw Wang Xue sitting cross-legged on a large rock, her silver hair cascading over her shoulders. Her stunningly pale face and slightly furrowed brows tugged at Qin Jun’s heartstrings.

Liu Ruolai’s jaw dropped, and she murmured, "Such a beautiful sister..."

"Junior Clan Chief!" The Cat People girl quickly flung herself toward Wang Xue, while Qin Jun flashed to Wang Xue’s side.

Wang Xue’s eyelashes trembled; she slowly opened her eyes and saw Qin Jun’s eyes filled with concern.

"You... came..." Wang Xue whispered, seemingly struggling to speak.

Qin Jun quickly took out a Heavenly Origin Pill, a medicine that could heal Wang Xue within an hour. Although it was costly, he was willing to pay the price.

After feeding the Heavenly Origin Pill to Wang Xue, Qin Jun said softly, "Silly girl, of course, I had to come."

Liu Ruolai watched Qin Jun and the Wang Xue in his arms, her face full of envy. She envied the love between Qin Jun and Wang Xue, unlike her, whose father wanted to marry her off to a stranger.

"Hmph! Dare to hinder this emperor’s affairs, seek death!"

Suddenly, an oppressive angry voice came from outside the cave, startling even Qin Jun.

The entire mountain began to shake violently.

After taking the Heavenly Origin Pill, Wang Xue’s vitality improved. She clenched her teeth and said, "We have to escape; the Tiger Emperor won’t let us off!"
