144: I'll fuck you...

"You... you intentionally let those humans go?!"

The Snake King said in horror.

The Tiger Demon said indifferently, "Once this King breaks through, two mere humans will be easy to capture."

The Snake King said with a trembling voice, "Lord Winged Tiger, we have always honored you as our superior! Why sacrifice us?!"

The Tiger Demon sneered, "Honor me as your superior? Hehe, Snake King, don't think this King is unaware of your intentions. You've been hiding your true self just to backstab me, haven't you?"

The Snake King's expression instantly turned to despair. So, it knew all along!

The Tiger Demon said disdainfully, "Do you know why there are so few Seventh-Tier Experts?"

"That is because the difference between the Sixth Tier and the Seventh Tier is like the distance between clouds and mud!"

Boom!

A terrifying pressure suddenly erupted from within the Tiger Demon's body and descended upon the Snake King. The latter was instantly pinned to the ground, unable to move!

The Snake King was beyond horrified, for it could already sense the opponent's strength was something it couldn't possibly contend with!

"Being able to become the nourishment for this King's advancement is your honor!"

With a light sweep of its claw, the Tiger Demon killed the Snake King instantly!

Its body also rapidly transformed into a surge of majestic blood qi that poured into the Tiger Demon's body!

At the same time, those Fifth-Rank Demonic Beasts could no longer hold out. As the Tiger Demon's strength increased, the effect of the secret technique also rose!

One after another, the demonic beasts unwillingly succumbed to blood qi, becoming nourishment for the Tiger Demon!

In the end, only the Wolf King remained on the field, though its aura was now extremely weak.

The Wolf King glared deathly at the Tiger Demon: "I'll f*ck your..."

Swish!

The Tiger Demon struck directly, swatting the Wolf King to death!

Thus, all the demonic beasts had fallen into its trap!

Streams of blood qi flooded into its body. The Tiger Demon's power converged, and its aura suddenly skyrocketed at this moment!

Boom!

A power like a volcanic eruption burst from within its body!

Breakthrough!

Once a demonic beast reaches the Seventh Tier or above, moving further up is undoubtedly extremely difficult. Under normal circumstances, it can only be achieved through the accumulation of time. Those Demon Lords and Demon Gods have all cultivated for thousands or even tens of thousands of years!

Boom!

The Tiger Demon's aura had already jumped from the early Seventh Tier to the mid-Seventh Tier!

A powerful aura swept through the entire Tiger Roar Forest!

The Tiger Demon felt the power within its body with a face full of intoxication and lamented, "Indeed, being an Evil Cultivator is better!"

"Hehe, that is also why so many evil cults exist in this world."

A light chuckle sounded, and the Masked Man had appeared in the field at some point.

The Tiger Demon glanced at him and then asked in confusion, "Since you have such a heaven-defying secret technique, why don't you use it yourself?"

The Masked Man said indifferently, "Any shortcut to quick success comes with a corresponding price."

The Masked Man lightly raised his hands: "Besides, if I want to break through, why would I need the help of a secret technique?"

A hint of envy appeared in the Tiger Demon's eyes: "As expected of a human, such terrifying cultivation talent."

It had known beforehand that using this secret technique would bring some side effects, but it still decided to use it because of its thirst for power!

The Tiger Demon took a deep breath and said slowly, "The vast Tiger Roar Forest is now a thing of the past... However, there are still two little bugs that haven't been dealt with."

The Masked Man spoke at this time: "Don't touch them for now, just leave them to me."

The Tiger Demon narrowed its eyes: "Oh? How do you plan to do it?"

The Masked Man put his hands behind his back: "That is my business. According to our agreement, you must listen to me now."

The Tiger Demon remained silent and did not answer, its eyes flashing with light.

It had now broken through and its strength had greatly increased. If it wanted to kill the Masked Man, it wouldn't be difficult.

No matter how much the Gluttonous God valued a human, he was still just a human... Thinking of this, a bit of killing intent gradually emerged in the Tiger Demon's eyes.

The Masked Man seemed to know what it was thinking and said indifferently, "I advise you to behave. Since I could allow you to break through, I naturally wouldn't worry about you turning against me."

Hearing this, the killing intent in the Tiger Demon's eyes faded, and it snorted coldly, "As you wish. They are just two ants; they won't be able to stir up any waves."

This was the Demon Realm. Two mere sixth-tier ants were indeed incredibly minuscule.

Even if it didn't take action, they wouldn't survive.

The Tiger Demon spread its wings and took to the sky, saying, "This King will naturally do what I promised you, but the interests of the Demon Race come first!"

After saying that, it turned and left.

The Masked Man watched the Tiger Demon fly away and said nothing.

After a long time, he silently turned around and took a step, having already teleported a hundred meters away... On the other side, Fang Bai and Chen Xi had escaped the forest and arrived at a rocky mountain.

Fang Bai was still shaken, feeling lucky to have escaped with his life.

Then he felt a bit annoyed. Even though his strength had increased so quickly, he was still being pummeled!

As strength increases, more powerful enemies appear; it's better to keep a low profile... "What do we do now?"

Chen Xi spoke in a heavy voice.

Fang Bai glanced at her and teased, "What? Didn't you want to kill me? Now you can actually chat with me calmly?"

Chen Xi was silent for a moment and then said, "I can't kill you."

She had already faced reality. The strength Fang Bai had shown just now had already surpassed her.

This kind of monster was simply too hard to kill!

And even if she could kill Fang Bai, she wouldn't be able to survive in this Demon Realm.

Damn it! If I had known, I shouldn't have hunted this kid down!

In the end, I've screwed myself over!

The more Chen Xi thought about it, the more she regretted it.

Fang Bai found a place to sit down and said, "Let's recover our strength first. Going out, we'll inevitably encounter those Demon Kings and Demon Lords. If that flying tiger really wanted to kill us, we'd be dead already."

He knew the Tiger Demon had deliberately spared them; otherwise, even if Fang Bai were at the peak of the sixth tier, he wouldn't have escaped.

But as for why the other party showed mercy, that was what he didn't understand.

Could the other party be setting a trap? That shouldn't be right; how much wisdom could a demonic beast have?

Fang Bai didn't think too much about it. There was no use in overthinking; increasing his strength was the most important thing.

He took out a pile of cultivation resources and began to absorb them.

When not killing demonic beasts, Fang Bai would use resources to improve himself.

Chen Xi sat not far away, her gaze shifting as she looked at Fang Bai.

In her eyes, this youth was somewhat too mysterious, and his craftiness was outrageously high; if one weren't careful, they would fall for his schemes.

If it weren't for their current situation, she would kill him at any cost, no matter what.

Chen Xi also didn't think too much and similarly entered a state of cultivation.

Since that Tiger Demon hadn't pursued them, it meant they still had a chance to live!

And at this time, Chen Xi didn't notice that the shadow beneath Fang Bai moved strangely, and a tiny dark shadow left the spot silently.

That black shadow finally came to a patch of shade and revealed its form.

The clone Fang Bai suddenly spoke: "Since you're here, why not come out and chat?"

After a moment of silence, a figure appeared behind Fang Bai.

It was none other than the Masked Man.
