Chapter Fifty-two: Joining Hands to Slay the Tiger

  The Golden Tiger swallowed the demon beast meat in its mouth, stood up with a swoosh, and stared at Xu Hua with a tight body, as if it would strike at any moment. However, it didn't make a move immediately. The demon beast's ability to sense danger was much stronger than humans, although Xu Hua was too small compared to its massive body, but it could feel the faint sense of danger emanating from that tiny body.

  The Golden Tiger lowered its body, slowly approaching Xu Hua. Xu Hua saw that the Golden Tiger did not immediately attack him and was overjoyed in his heart, also slowly approaching it like the Golden Tiger. The man and the demon were mutually probing each other like this, making Gai Lao Hen's teeth itch with hatred as he watched from a distance, hoping they would immediately take action so that he could make his move.

  "Roar......"

  When Xu Hua was less than forty feet away from Huang Jintao, he immediately activated the "Life-Draining Technique" to absorb the life energy within Huang Jintao's body. However, Huang Jintao seemed to sense something and retreated backwards while continuously roaring. Xu Hua was taken aback - this was the first time since his debut that the "Life-Draining Technique" had failed to yield results.

  "What a clever guy, so doesn't that mean 'Life Drain' is useless against it?" Xu Hua's heart trembled with fear, could it be that 'Life Drain' had other limitations? Or was it just an accident that 'Life Drain' could only absorb the life force of weak and ignorant people? Xu Hua had a bad feeling in his heart.

  One by one, the monsters made a probing attack several times. During this time, Xu Hua also used "Life Absorption Technique" to absorb the life energy from Huang Jin's body several times. After several shocks and scares, Huang Jin no longer had much fear, feeling that the person in front of him did not pose any threat to himself.

  Roar... Roar

  Huang Jin Hu immediately pounced on Xu Hua.

  Wow! Wow!

  That golden tiger came like a fierce gust of wind, its claws flashing with cold light like divine weapons, and its roar was so intimidating that it made people's hearts tremble and unable to move. Xu Hua felt as if a giant mountain was pressing down on him, and his whole body almost collapsed under the overwhelming momentum.

  Hmph...

  Just as the Golden Tiger's sharp claws were about to slash through Xu Hua's tiny body, Xu Hua finally moved, jumping to one side half a breath earlier.

  Rumble!

  The Golden Tiger pounced, but instead of knocking down Xu Hua, it knocked over many large trees and stirred up countless dust. Xu Hua, who was standing on the side, had cold sweat flowing down his back, his heart racing to its limit. Just now, he almost died, which was really too terrifying.

  This doesn't mean that Jin Hu's strength surpassed Xu Hua by much, but rather that Jin Hu's ferocious aura intimidated Xu Hua. Like a giant mountain crushing Xu Hua and leaving him breathless, this was a psychological pressure that Xu Hua imposed on himself, limiting his own strength.

  After dodging the Golden Tiger's attack, Xu Hua was on high alert, his true energy operating at its peak. At this moment, his heart was still racing violently and couldn't slow down.

  Between life and death, there is great terror. After dodging the Golden Tiger's attack, Xu Hua's entire being was more focused than ever before, his eyes never leaving the Golden Tiger for a single moment.

  After the blow, Huang Jintao also felt that this little bug in front of him was simply too weak for himself. He regretted being so careful just now. In an instant, Huang Jintao's heart was filled with anger, and he wanted to eat Xu Hua to make up for his own shame.

  "Ahh... Ugggh!"

  The golden tiger that had fallen to the ground got back up, shook its massive body fiercely and pounced at Xuhua once again.

  However, after experiencing a life-and-death crisis, Xuhua was no longer as easily knocked down as before. Although Xuhua's strength was not comparable to Huangjintiger's, every time he fought against Huangjintiger from the side, he would be struck by Huangjintiger's massive force and feel numb all over his body. If it weren't for his physical strength being far superior to that of ordinary people, he might have been crushed into a pulp by Huangjintiger long ago. Nevertheless, during their battles, Xuhua also absorbed some of Huangjintiger's life energy, but for Huangjintiger, that was too little and had almost no impact on its strength.

  At the time when Huang Jintao and Xu Huasheng were engaged in a life-and-death struggle, Gai Lao's face, who had been hiding far away watching, was somewhat gloomy. "This Golden Tiger has probably reached the boundary of the third stage, its power is terrifyingly abnormal, perhaps only a Martial Emperor-level expert can kill it! Xu Huasheng can now contend with it, but will eventually be killed by it. At that time, I'm afraid that even if I intervene, I will also be killed by this beast, what to do?"

  Gai Lao has always been obsessed with Xuhua's extraordinary achievement, and now that it's within his grasp, how could he possibly let this opportunity slip away from him? He is currently very conflicted in his heart, and he even wonders if he should immediately go out and join forces with Xuhua to kill the Golden Tiger together, and then kill Xuhua afterwards to seize the extraordinary achievement.

  He thought for half a day but couldn't come up with a perfect solution, "This won't do, that won't do, what should I do?" Gai Lao was very annoyed in his heart, his hands clenched and unclenched repeatedly.

  "Crack!"

  He inadvertently slapped his palm on the trunk of the big tree he was leaning against, and the tree broke with a loud noise, about to fall. He took a leap and jumped to one side, his heart racing violently, and exclaimed in surprise: "Not good! Exposed!"

  As expected, he found that Xu Hua and Huang Jintao were both looking at him. Suddenly, an idea flashed through his mind, and he shouted: "Young hero, I'm here to help you!"

  He was seen taking a few strides and arrived beside Xu Hua, seemingly wanting to join forces with Xu Hua to kill the Golden Tiger.

  "Ahhh..."

  However, this provoked the Golden Tiger's fierce roar. Xu Hua said to him, "Thank you, sir, for your righteous assistance, but the tiger is ferocious, so please be careful."

  Gao Lao had not felt the ferocious aura of Huang Jin Hu when he was watching from a distance, but now that he was close, he could feel this thick and heavy breath like a great mountain, and almost couldn't catch his breath. He almost got killed by Huang Jin Hu's one move, if Xu Hua hadn't saved him, he would have been dead already.

  Although Xu Hua knew that this person must have ill intentions towards himself, at this moment Xu Hua still had to rely on him to join forces and defeat the Golden Tiger, so he wouldn't let him die easily.

  The old man, who had narrowly escaped death, had a pale face with some whiteness, and his back was already wet at some point. His hands were trembling, as if he were an old man who couldn't withstand the wind. "Thank you, young hero, I didn't expect this beast to be so ferocious, I almost got stunned by its fierce aura."

  Xu Hua clashed with Huang Jintao again and took advantage of the moment when he turned around to say, "Old man, let's go our separate ways."

  Suddenly, Huang Jintao pounced on Gai Lao who was still unprepared.

  "Be careful." Xu Hua cried out immediately.

  The demon beast didn't have particularly strong spiritual intelligence, but that doesn't mean it wouldn't think at all. It's just that the average demon beast's spiritual intelligence wasn't comparable to humans. However, a third-tier demon beast was already on par with a five or six-year-old human child. After fighting Xu Hua for a while, it judged that this guy Xu Hua wasn't easy to kill, but perhaps this old man who suddenly appeared might be easier to kill. So the Golden Tiger prepared to leave Xu Hua alone for now and go kill Gai first.

  "Hmm..."

  Gai Lou was also a mature and refined figure, slightly stunned, then condensed the true energy of his whole body into his palms, blocking Huang Jin Hu's slap.

  Whoosh...

  Gai Lo took down Wong Kim's move, but was similarly sent flying by Wong Kim's extremely powerful force.

  Boom! Boom! Boom!

  Gai Lao directly crashed into several hundred-year-old trees, fell to the ground, and groaned in pain. His heart was filled with endless bitterness, originally wanting to help Cun Yi take down Xu Hua, thinking that when one person and one demon were fighting to the death, he would strike and kill Xu Hua, taking his extraordinary abilities for himself. But unexpectedly, he had now become the main target of Huang Jin Hu's attack, and his heart was burning with anger.

  "Wah! Wah!"

  To Lao Ge's surprise, Huang Jintao was rolling on the ground in agony, clearly having suffered a severe blow and finding it hard to bear the pain.

  Just now, Xu Hua took advantage of the Golden Tiger's attack on Gai Lao and used "Thunder Fist" to hit the Golden Tiger's abdomen. Although the Golden Tiger's body was strong, it also had weak points, which were its abdomen, eyes, and nose. Just now, Xu Hua did not have the opportunity to blast the Golden Tiger's eyes and nose, but seized the moment to hit its abdomen, making it feel like it was going to die from pain.

  The golden tiger was like a madman, roaring continuously, and after several rolls, it got up again. Its two blood-red eyes stared at Xu Hua as if the two had a deep-seated hatred for each other. At this moment, the golden tiger was truly angry, and earlier it was just playing with the two of them.

  Xu Hua saw that things were going badly and immediately shouted: "Old man, attack its eyes and nose."

  A tiger's paw came again, but this time it was obviously more powerful than before.

  Xu Huaxin knew he was no match, but seeing the old man rapidly approaching, he gritted his teeth and prepared to exchange a move with Huangjintiger, so that the old man would have an opportunity to strike at Huangjintiger's vitals.

  The tiny fist compared to the enormous tiger paw of the Golden Tiger clashed, bursting with sparks of power and producing a mighty sonic boom.

  Boom! ~ Boom

  Xu Hua's arm trembled violently, and at the same time, his face turned ferocious, as if he had been struck by a huge mountain.

  "Hmm..."

  Suddenly, Xu Hua violently spat out a mouthful of blood and was thrown flying, at the same time a shrill scream and a beast's sharp painful howl echoed throughout the entire mountain forest.

  Fortunately, the nearby demonic beasts have already fled, otherwise it would trigger another beast riot.

  Gai Lao took advantage of the opportunity to hit one of Huang Jin Hu's eyes, and the latter, having lost an eye, went mad like a rabid dog, rushing about in the forest, knocking down many large trees. Gai Lao couldn't find another chance to attack.

  Xu Hua, who had fallen to the other side, immediately activated the "Life-Draining Technique" and absorbed the life force from Huang Jintao and Gai's bodies, continuously nourishing his own injuries. Although he looked miserable, Xu Hua still retained a powerful fighting strength, and as the life force nourished him, he would soon recover to his peak state, always on guard against the old man's final fatal blow.
