Chapter 32 Fighting Tiger
Chapter 32 Fighting Tiger
Two days later, the convoy arrived at the transaction location. They had a safe journey except for two small groups of bandits blocking the road.
But when they saw the flag of the Fuhu Gang, they did not dare to move and let them pass.
In this area, the name of the Fu Hu Gang is still very useful.
The transaction partner this time was a large village, and they had done business with the Fuhu Gang very well. Everything was done in a very formal manner, with money being exchanged for goods.
Due to the lack of carts and livestock, they even bought twenty carts and mules at a high price to transport weapons and ironware back to the mountain stronghold.
These large villages in the Chimang Mountains are home to not only bandits, but also the elderly, the weak, women and children. The population is large, and even farmland has been reclaimed, requiring a large number of farm tools, iron tools, mules, horses, and oxen.
After the transaction was completed, the convoy was more alert than before. Wei Wuding inspected it personally and the guards did not dare to slack off in the slightest.
The village that was doing business with the Fuhu Gang this time did not have many silver bills. They mainly traded with silver and copper coins, which filled up three large carts. They were the best target for the bandits.
As the commander of the guard team, Chen Yuan patrolled day and night. Yu Zhenchuan was even more nervous than him. His nerves were on edge and he would often yell at his guards. It was Chen Yuan who had to comfort him.
This has been the case for the past year, with Yu Zhenchuan playing the good guy and Chen Yuan playing the bad guy, winning the hearts of the people.
At noon on the third day, the convoy stopped in a valley and cooked a meal.
Yu Zhenchuan took this opportunity to arrest another person and scolded him while eating:
"I asked you to explore the forest, but you still dared to be lazy. If bandits were to ambush us and suddenly attack us, we would all be dead..."
Chen Yuan squatted beside him, took two white flour pancakes, broke them into pieces, soaked them in a bowl of freshly cooked broth, used two peeled branches as chopsticks, and started to eat with relish.
Suddenly, a strong wind blew, sand and rocks flew, trees swayed, and grass fell down.
Wow!
Someone lost his grip on the ceramic bowl and it was blown to the ground, breaking into pieces and spilling the broth all over the floor.
"Ouch, my food!"
He complained loudly, but was immediately drowned out by a tiger's roar.
"Ouch!"
Then, a gorgeous tiger leaped out from the forest and landed in front of the convoy.
The giant tiger was two meters long, taller than a horse, and twice as big as an ordinary tiger. It blocked most of the mountain path.
The giant tiger's eyes were as big as copper bells. They moved left and right, scanning the crowd, revealing the same cruelty and cunning as that of humans. It stuck out its scarlet tongue, licked its lips, and saliva dripped, emitting bursts of fishy smell that drifted in the wind, making people feel sick.
There were several deep scars on its back, and it was unknown what had caused the injuries. Blood was oozing out, staining its fur red, making it look extremely hideous.
The sudden appearance of such a huge tiger threw the convoy into chaos. Someone shouted:
"Tiger! This is Grandpa Tiger!"
When Wei Wuding saw such a huge tiger, his face changed drastically. He drew out his sword and suddenly chopped off an iron pot in front of him, shouting:
"Don't panic! It's just a big tiger. What are you afraid of? Kill it and give everyone a pound of tiger meat to satisfy your hunger!"
The crowd managed to calm down and drew their swords, but their eyes were still filled with fear.
Yu Zhenchuan held the ring-handled sword tightly in both hands and said in a trembling voice:
"Monster...monster! This must be a man-eating tiger monster. Those missing caravans were eaten by it!"
Chen Yuan slowly raised the long sword with both hands and stared at the giant tiger with a very solemn look.
Suddenly, the giant tiger's eyes stopped on Chen Yuan, a look of surprise appeared on its face, it leaped up and pounced on him.
Chen Yuan felt a sudden chill in his heart. This was a warning sign that would only appear when facing a life-and-death crisis.
This damn beast, why didn't he go looking for someone else but targeted him!
But others didn't know that the giant tiger's target was Chen Yuan. Five brave guards rushed forward and chopped at the giant tiger with their swords.
The giant tiger roared impatiently, stretched out its paw and swept it fiercely.
The four men suffered broken bones and tendons and flew out, falling to the ground, wailing.
The giant tiger took another bite, bit the last man in the waist, chewed him twice, and then tilted its head back to swallow him into its stomach.
"Ah! Help! Help..."
The man's screams were shrill and desperate, and then they stopped abruptly. Everyone who heard it was horrified.
The giant tiger swallowed a person, shook its head, leaped forward, and pounced on the crowd.
Wei Wuding was furious, drew his sword to meet the attack, and shouted:
"Follow me and kill this big beast!"
Another guard leader, Luo Hai, turned around and said:
"The big beast is ferocious, let's all attack together and avenge our dead brothers!"
After saying that, he rushed forward along with Wei Wuding.
More than twenty warriors saw Wei Wuding and Luo Hai taking the lead and became bolder, and followed them to rush forward.
But Chen Yuan not only did not take action, but instead took two steps back and grabbed Yu Zhenchuan's wrist.
Yu Zhenchuan was inspired by Luo Hai's words and was about to rush forward to kill the tiger, but when he saw this, he looked over in surprise.
Chen Yuan shook his head slowly and said:
"This big beast is not easy to deal with, let's wait and see."
Yu Zhenchuan was extremely surprised. Whenever he encountered bandits and wild beasts in the past, Chen Yuan always bravely took the lead. Why was he so timid today?
But before he could ask, a tiger roar was heard, piercing the clouds and splitting the rocks. It was so shocking that Yu Zhenchuan's legs went weak and he almost fell to the ground.
The twenty or so warriors were the first to be hit. They were frightened and stood there.
The giant tiger rushed into the crowd, opened its bloody mouth, swept its tail, and slapped with its paws. In an instant, twenty warriors were killed or injured.
Only Wei Wuding, who had reached the peak of internal strength, managed to break free, used his lightness skills, retreated three feet, and avoided the giant tiger's bloody mouth.
The giant tiger swallowed a warrior, licked its lips, and continued to pounce on Chen Yuan.
Wei Wuding stood between it and Chen Yuan, thinking that the tiger was going to pounce on him, so he mustered up his courage and stabbed the tiger with his sword. The tiger did not dodge, and the sword stabbed it without any damage. It raised its palm impatiently and slapped Wei Wuding on the shoulder.
Click!
Wei Wuding's shoulders collapsed and he flew out like a rag doll and fell to the ground.
The giant tiger took three or two steps to Chen Yuan and bit him with great ferocity.
Chen Yuan felt a chill running down his spine. He pushed Yu Zhenchuan aside, stepped back, and narrowly avoided the tiger's mouth.
Although the giant tiger was huge in size, it was extremely agile. Chen Yuan used all his strength to perform the Shadow Step, but was almost bitten by it.
call!
The giant tiger missed its bite and raised its paw to slap Chen Yuan.
Chen Yuan's tiger paw slammed heavily on the ground at one side of his body, creating a big hole and splashing gravel.
The giant tiger came with great force, but Chen Yuan would not sit still and wait for death. He used the move of White Tiger Leaping over the Ravine and chopped diagonally towards the giant tiger's head.
Chen Yuan used all his strength in this sword strike. The huge force of two thousand pounds gathered on the blade, and the sound of breaking wind was loud.
At the same time, a layer of white energy about an inch long wrapped around the blade, reflecting the sunlight, which was extremely dazzling.
Wei Wuding was lying on the ground, watching Chen Yuan fighting with the giant tiger, and exclaimed:
“Gang Jin!”
The giant tiger leaped to the side to avoid the knife.
Chen Yuan refused to give in. He used the Shadow Step, leaving an afterimage on the spot, and continued to chop towards the giant tiger.
But this leap allowed the giant tiger to create some distance. It stretched its body horizontally and swung its tail like a steel whip to rush forward.
Bang!
The long sword hit the tiger's tail like hitting a piece of solid rock. The powerful force that was said to be able to cut metal and iron only left a wound as thick as a finger.
But the sword energy formed by the Six Yang Qi was extremely yang and strong, and it burned a section of the tiger's tail.
The giant tiger cried out in pain, became furious, turned around and pounced towards Chen Yuan.
The speed of this attack was extremely fast, and Chen Yuan could not dodge it, so he had to hold the long sword horizontally to block in front of him.
The giant tiger was afraid of the strong force on the blade and avoided Chen Yuan's heart. It stretched out its tiger paw and five sharp claws popped out, grabbing Chen Yuan's waist and abdomen, leaving five afterimages in the air.
Chen Yuan flipped his wrist and swung the long sword down, chopping on the tiger's claw.
Click!
The long sword broke into two pieces, but the tiger claw was also blocked, and its momentum was slowed down.
Chen Yuan tapped his feet, retreated a dozen feet, and threw the half-broken knife in his hand towards the giant tiger's eyes.
The giant tiger raised its claws to push away the broken knife. Chen Yuan took the opportunity to perform the Shadow Step and turned around to escape.
Wei Wuding slapped the ground hard and shouted:
"Confused!"
The giant tiger was extremely fast and agile, so it was impossible for Chen Yuan to escape. The only way he could survive was to stay and fight to the death.
But Chen Yuan seemed to be frightened by the giant tiger. He ran towards the valley entrance without looking back.
The giant tiger showed a mocking look in its eyes, and it pounced suddenly. In a flash, it was behind Chen Yuan, opened its bloody mouth, and bit him!
At this moment, Chen Yuan suddenly turned around and swung his right hand. A silver thread shot out from the ring on his ring finger and wrapped around the giant tiger's right front leg. He quickly wrapped his palm around it twice, grabbed the silver thread, and pulled it down suddenly!
boom!
The silver thread stretched straight, and the giant tiger was caught off guard, and its huge body fell to the ground with a bang.
Chen Yuan threw off the ring, rushed forward, put his hands together to form sword fingers, and poked the giant tiger's eyes!
This move was extremely brutal. If it hit the target, both eyes of the giant tiger would be destroyed and it would be at the mercy of others.
In a panic, the giant tiger only had time to turn its head to the right, dodging its right eye, but its left eye was poked.
puff!
Chen Yuan pointed his finger down, and it was like poking an egg. A stream of blood spurted out from the giant tiger's eye socket.
The giant tiger roared in pain, becoming extremely ferocious. It suddenly raised its paw and slapped Chen Yuan.
Chen Yuan felt a sense of alarm in his heart and raised his hand to protect his vital parts. The giant tiger scratched his left arm, leaving five deep bloody marks.
He hurriedly performed the Shadow Step and retreated backwards.
But the giant tiger had one eye blinded by Chen Yuan and had gone berserk. Regardless of its injuries, it let out a roar that pierced the clouds and split the rocks.
Ouch!
Although Chen Yuan's body was infused with starlight and his mind was clear and sharp, he was still affected by the tiger's roar because the distance was so close. He was frightened and staggered.
By the time Chen Yuan steadied himself, the giant tiger had already opened its bloody mouth and pounced on him. Even the traces of flesh and blood between its teeth were clearly visible.
Chen Yuan had no way to avoid it. He only had time to raise his right arm to block it in front of him, and fell into despair.
If he was bitten by the giant tiger, he would surely die.
The people watching the fight were horrified. If Chen Yuan was bitten to death by the giant tiger, it would be their turn.
At this moment, a clear shout came from the cliff:
"Beast, courting death!"
Zheng!
Everyone looked up and saw a flying sword about a foot long falling from the sky and piercing into the giant tiger's head, all the way to the handle!
