69: Black Dragon

At the entrance of Fox Elder's Immortal Cave, Wei Xun closed his eyes, listening to the commotion down the mountain.

He could clearly sense that Red Armor and that Vulture General were fighting.

Wei Xun had exchanged blows with that Vulture General before, so he naturally knew his strength.

Although Wei Xun had now broken through to the Body Tempering Realm Second Layer, and his cultivation had increased, he still wasn't confident in defeating the Vulture.

Even though the Carp Demon was at the Body Tempering Realm Third Layer, it would be extremely difficult for him to defeat Vulture General.

Moreover, there was more than just Vulture General among the Pure Yang Realm demons on this mountain.

Fox Elder, for some unknown reason, did not go down the mountain to help, but there was also Poison Claw, who was on par with the Vulture, and even a Tiger King who was more powerful than both of them.

So, no matter what, Wei Xun couldn't imagine how the Carp Demon could win.

Furthermore, through the scent he detected with Ten Mile Tracking, Wei Xun discovered that the Tiger King had already emerged from his Tiger Kings Cave.

Although he hadn't yet found where Poison Claw was, just the Tiger King descending the mountain to act already sealed the Carp Demon's defeat.

“As expected, I was too naive!” Wei Xun muttered to himself, initially thinking that the Carp Demon had some clever plan, but he didn't expect him to just charge in so recklessly.

Although he didn't know where he had called some helpers from, relying solely on these to challenge Black Tiger Mountain was simply wishful thinking.

“It seems I need to find an opportunity to slip away!” Wei Xun looked back at Fox Elder's Immortal Cave; there was no movement inside, and he didn't know what that old fox was doing in there.

Meanwhile, on the mountainside, the Carp Demon, who had been sent flying by Vulture General's blade once more, regained his footing, then gathered Qi throughout his body, seemingly preparing for a desperate fight with Vulture General.

But just then, the Tiger King appeared.

The Tiger King, clad in exquisite black armor and wielding a nine-ringed mountain-cleaving saber, appeared on the mountainside at some unknown moment.

“Where did these trash water demons come from, daring to cause trouble on my Black Tiger Mountain!” The Tiger King wasn't in a hurry to act; instead, he stood on a high vantage point, looking down at the water demons with indifferent eyes.

“Great King!” Hearing the Tiger King's voice, the Vulture turned to report to the Tiger King, “These stinky fish and rotten shrimp don't require the Great King's intervention; Little One alone can wipe them all out!”

Hearing the Vulture's words, the Tiger King nodded, “Then you should act quickly; once they're dealt with, we can have a fish feast tomorrow!”

“As you command!” The Vulture nodded, then turned and prepared to finish off the Carp Demon.

At this moment, a light blue aura ignited around the Carp Demon's body, and his cultivation slowly surged, powered by some unknown Cultivation Technique.

“Interesting!” The Vulture smiled at the corner of his mouth, knowing he couldn't underestimate his opponent, so he also ignited a dark red aura around his body, preparing to unleash a full-power strike.

“If you've got the guts, don't dodge!” As the Carp Demon spoke, he suddenly threw the long spear in his hand; the spear instantly transformed into a streaking light, piercing directly towards the Vulture.

Seeing this, the Vulture swung the curved saber in his hand, cutting out a more violent blade light than before, directly batting away the flying spear.

But the next second, the Carp Demon, holding two short forks, followed closely behind the spear, stabbing directly at the Vulture's eyes.

Just now, the Carp Demon's spear was in front, with his body concealed behind it, all for the sake of this sudden strike.

The Vulture Demon frowned, reacting very quickly, suddenly leaning backward, just barely dodging the sneak attack of the two short forks.

If he had been any slower, the Vulture would probably have had his eyes gouged out by the Carp Demon.

“Die for me!” The Vulture, enraged, cursed loudly, then, while leaning back, he swung the curved saber in his hand sharply upwards.

The Carp Demon reacted just as swiftly, crossing the short forks in his hands to block the Vulture's attack.

However, this single strike directly sent the Carp Demon flying into the air.

“Now you're dead!” The Vulture Demon smiled, suddenly rising into the air and bringing his curved saber down towards the unbalanced Carp Demon's head.

If this strike connected, the Carp Demon would surely be decapitated.

But just then, a Dragon roar erupted in the air, and a water pillar shot out, directly washing away the Vulture Demon who had flown into the air, finally sending him crashing heavily to the ground.

“Little Red! You acted before I even arrived, you're really impatient!” In mid-air, a long-haired man with black Dragon horns on his head grabbed the Carp Demon's arm, preventing him from falling.

“Brother Jiaolong!” The Carp Demon looked up, tears welling in his eyes.

The black-haired man was bare-chested, revealing a muscular physique, with dark skin all over, and coarse long hair reaching his waist and back; he held the Carp Demon with one hand and a gilded hammer with the other.

He stood on black clouds, suspended in mid-air!

The Tiger King frowned upon seeing the Black Jiaolong appear.

“Little Golden Fur, long time no see!” But the Black Jiaolong smiled and greeted the Tiger King.

“Who the hell is Little Golden Fur!” The Tiger King immediately became displeased upon hearing this, pointing his nine-ringed great saber at the Black Jiaolong in the air and cursing, “If you have the guts, come down and fight me one-on-one! I'll pull out your Dragon tendons and soak them in wine to drink!”

“Don't be like that!” The Black Jiaolong released the Carp Demon's hand, allowing him to land steadily, then turned to continue speaking to the Tiger King, “Dragon tendons soaked in wine don't taste good, but I have heard that tiger bone wine has a good reputation; I'd like to try it sometime!”

“You're doing perfectly fine in your Jiaolong Lake, what do you want coming to my Black Tiger Mountain?” The Tiger King roared.

“That's because I heard that the murderer who killed my little brother Green Armor is here on your Black Tiger Mountain!” The Black Jiaolong smiled faintly, “So I specifically came to see if he's really here!”

“What do you mean?” The Tiger King frowned after hearing this.

“This old bald guy killed my brother ten years ago!” The Black Jiaolong pointed his gilded hammer at Vulture General, then said, “I specifically came here to get revenge!”

“Black Vulture?” The Tiger King glanced at Vulture General without asking anything, then looked up at the Black Jiaolong and said, “How normal is it for demons to fight and kill each other? Besides, Black Vulture is now a general of my Black Tiger Mountain; if you want to kill him, you'll have to ask if I agree!”

“Do you agree?” The Black Jiaolong immediately asked.

“Of course this King doesn't agree!” The Tiger King was instantly enraged, “You attacked my Black Tiger Mountain, killing so many of my Little Ones along the way; how can I easily let you go?”

“So, Little Golden Fur, you mean we're fighting!” The Black Jiaolong smiled at the corner of his mouth.

“Of course!” The Tiger King also snorted coldly, “They fight their battles, we fight ours. Aren't you here for revenge? This King also happens to want to avenge the humiliation you inflicted on me twenty years ago.”

As the Tiger King spoke, he slammed his nine-ringed great saber onto the ground, and his entire body transformed into a golden light, heading straight for the Black Jiaolong in the air.

Seeing this, the Black Jiaolong held his meteor hammer horizontally in front of him, just barely blocking the great saber's attack.

“Not bad!” The Black Jiaolong smiled slightly, “You've improved!”

Meanwhile, Wei Xun, listening to the sounds at the entrance of Fox Elder's Immortal Cave, frowned slightly.

He hadn't expected the Carp Demon's connections to be so wide, actually being able to invite a Jiaolong Demon to help.

And from the sound of it, this Jiaolong Demon's strength seemed to be subtly superior to the Tiger King's.

Just as Wei Xun was intently listening to the commotion down the mountain, Fox Elder walked out of the Immortal Cave and called out to Wei Xun, “Grey Fur, come inside with me.”
