Chapter 5 Breakthrough! Refining Essence Realm! The tiger is the king of beasts! The body structure, skin, flesh, bones, internal organs, qi and blood of an adult tiger are all extremely strong! These ferocious beasts are natural hunters. Once they reach adulthood, they are almost equivalent to first-grade warriors with strong internal strength, which is the limit of human body and the pinnacle of martial arts! In the previous life, in the Water Margin, Wu Song was a god or demon who came to the world. He was tall and strong, and had supernatural powers. But the fact that he killed a tiger was enough for him to brag about for the rest of his life. People in later generations, when mentioning this story, have a lot of discussions about it, and basically all of them believe that no matter how powerful a person is, or how fierce a warrior is, it is impossible to kill a fully grown tiger. The tiger in front of him has already become a spirit! Demon tiger! It is no longer humanly viable! Even a top-grade warrior like Lin Yan, who is considered to have reached the limit of human strength, is no match for him. "Then we have no choice but to break through the Refining Essence Realm."
Lin Yan took a deep breath and swung his sword. I just killed thirty-three evil spirits and obtained thirty-three evil spirits! He added two strands of evil spirit to his cultivation. - Name: Lin Yan. Kung Fu: Five Elements Internal Breathing Technique. Cultivation: Refining Essence Realm (1/3650) + Magical power 1: Eat evil! Supernatural Power 2: Demon Suppression! The technique is as follows: Thunder Blade Level 87 (100/) + Paper-cut horse (12/100) + Disguise (67/100) + Breathing Technique (21/100) + Evil spirit: 31 strands. In an instant! Like a spring, it originates from within the body and circulates throughout the body. At this moment, Lin Yan's eyes became brighter. In a trance, the candlelight was reflected in his eyes, as if divine light was bursting out. He only felt that his body was gradually becoming more solid. From the skin on the outside to the flesh, bones, and internal organs on the inside, all are connected inside and outside. He felt his own strength increasing at an extremely noticeable rate, and even the knife in his hand seemed to become much lighter in an instant. The eleventh rank of warrior. Skin, meat, tendons and bones. Refining blood and washing marrow. Heart, liver, spleen, lungs, kidneys. If you can train your five internal organs to function properly, you will achieve inner strength and become a first-class martial artist! But today, his inside and outside are united, his whole body is as solid as iron, and has been tempered into steel! At this moment, my energy is flowing like a spring! "Now I have become a spirit too!"
Lin Yan held the knife, took a stance, and said in a deep voice: "Old demon! Come here!" Instantly, a tiger roared, shaking the mountains and forests! A strong wind suddenly arose, and sand and stones flew everywhere! He had already reached the realm of refining essence, and his vision was as sharp as a torch, and he could see the night as day. But at this moment, dust flew and blurred the vision. I couldn't see clearly what was ahead, but there was a strong wind blowing, extremely fiercely. Lin Yan's eyes were fierce, he jumped up with a knife and chopped forward. Boom! There was a heavy touch on the knife! He focused his attention on his eyes and found that what he had chopped into pieces was a huge rock that was attacking him. Fell into a trap! The tiger has become a spirit, a monster and cunning! Lin Yan felt a sense of alarm in his heart. The moment he landed, he rolled on the spot and moved to the left. There was a muffled sound! When he looked up, he saw a tiger pouncing down at the place where he landed! The ground collapsed instantly! The surrounding land suddenly cracked and spread! This shows how powerful the tiger is when it pounces! "Although the tiger is old, it must have been very powerful for a long time." Lin Yan's mind turned, and he thought to himself: "I have just entered the Refining Essence Realm, and my cultivation is far inferior to its, but it is old and aging, and is no longer flexible." Current situation. Not as strong as a tiger. But more flexible than the old monster. But what is even more troublesome is that this tiger is no longer an ordinary wild beast. It is cunning and treacherous, and its true and false appearances can be changed. Just one encounter and he almost fell into the trap! He was frightened and stepped back with the knife in hand. As expected, the tiger roared, shocking everyone and causing sand and rocks to fly! In the blink of an eye, a large amount of sand was blown up, covering the place where he was just now! If he hadn't retreated early, he would have been buried alive! But behind the sand, the demon tiger did not pounce on him. When the smoke clears, the night remains. The demon tiger has disappeared. But the chill in Lin Yan's heart did not subside at all. The night is silent and the night breeze blows gently. A breeze blew in my face. "No!" Lin Yan was on full alert, and instinctively, he gathered his strength, stood firm, and slashed forward. But after all, he was experienced in killing enemies, so he restrained his instinct to counterattack and immediately lunged forward. A strong wind suddenly arose behind him, and the demon tiger had circled behind him and hid in the bushes without him noticing. Although the demon tiger is large in size, it is the best hunter at hiding. It crawls forward and waits for an opportunity to strike!
But Lin Yan still avoided this attack! The demon tiger was still in the air and had not yet fallen to the ground. But Lin Yan had already turned around and went behind him at an extremely fast speed. Before he could draw his sword, he saw the demon tiger pressing its front legs to the ground while raising the back half of its body. The hind half of its body was lifted up, and its legs kicked backwards! Lin Yan quickly stopped and avoided the attack. But the demon tiger's tail stood up, like an iron rod, sweeping across, with a sound of breaking through the air. Lin Yan was hit by a blow and was cut in half! But before the demon tiger could show any joy in its eyes, it saw the two severed parts of the human body turn into pieces of paper all over the sky, floating like snowflakes! Paper-cut horses! A trick! Suddenly there was a thunder! "Old demon, take the knife!" Lin Yan, who was crawling in the dust, suddenly stood up. Nine-Layered Heaven Thunder Blade, the first blade! In the cold night, the blade shines brightly, like a flash of lightning! The strong muscles and bones become fragile under the blade! With a loud bang! The huge tiger head was chopped off and fell to the dust. "..." Lin Yan swung the sword with all his might, gasping for breath and almost unable to stand. Just now, he knew that there was a huge gap in their cultivation levels. Even if he added all the remaining thirty-one strands of evil spirit to his cultivation level, it would still be difficult to reverse the current situation. Therefore, he added the eighteen strands of evil spirit to the attainment of "cutting paper into horses", reaching the level of "mastery", and used it to confuse people. He was also afraid that his swordsmanship was not strong enough, so he added all of his last thirteen strands of evil spirit to improve his swordsmanship. But more importantly, the demon tiger was old and exhausted from all the pounce, lift and cut. The old strength was gone and the new strength had not yet been generated, and in this moment of weakness, he found the flaw. Finally, with the help of the magic power to suppress demons, he was finally able to kill the demon tiger with one blow! He looked at the demon tiger whose head and body were separated, took a deep breath, and thought to himself: "If it weren't for an old demon like you, I would use such a trick!" He closed his eyes slightly and took a look. This time, the demon tiger was slain here, and fifty-three strands of evil spirit were obtained. If we add those minions just now, the total number of evil spirits would be as high as eighty-six. If the tiger wasn't already old and frail, it would have been much higher. You must know that a warrior who has cultivated to the fourth level of skin, flesh, tendons and bones is already considered a master, but he has only obtained three strands of evil spirit.
The gains from slaying the demon were greater than expected. As he thought about it, he said to himself, "Besides, a tiger that has become a spirit is a treasure from head to toe... its skin, flesh, tendons and bones are all very useful. The tiger's blood, when made into candles, is a treasure that can ward off evil spirits. If placed in the wild, it is much more effective than the incense and candles in Liuzun Temple." He was originally a butcher, so he planned to recover some of his strength to slaughter the demon tiger and cut off its flesh, tendons and bones. "Ok?" But at this moment, I suddenly felt uneasy. He was startled and suddenly turned over and jumped. He somersaulted three times and was already six feet away. Looking forward, an irrepressible look of horror rose in his eyes. The torn body of the demon tiger staggered and crawled up from the ground. The tiger had lost its head and blood was gushing out from its neck. But at this moment, the gushing blood gradually turned dark. The black lines on the tiger's body extended into wisps of branches, fluttering in the air. In the blink of an eye, the demon tiger was covered with black branches and its flesh was torn apart. Tiger bones are visible to the naked eye. The blood flowed darkly. Under the cracked tiger skin, the muscles were still twitching and twisting, as if countless insects were struggling inside. The scene before me was so horrifying that my scalp went numb at first glance. Was this evil tiger possessed by evil spirits before it died? (End of this chapter)
