Chapter 5: Tearing Apart The Tigers and Leopards
1242 Words
"Has he lost his mind?"
The village headman's eyes widened. A hunter might never kill a tiger in his entire life.
Even if he did, he rarely conducted direct combat with them, mostly using traps.
Bai Qi actually wants to fight the Tiger alone!
That's the king of the mountains who can hunt wild boars!
At this moment, the elite soldiers in formation all turned their heads. Their eyes fixed on Bai Qi, wanting to see
the miracle of this fierce man, who had just broken a hard bow, could pull off.
But the next moment, they saw Bai Qi throw away the long stick in his hand.
"What!?"
The elite soldiers' jaws nearly dropped to the ground.
"Looking for death!”
The burly man, drawing his fifth bow, sneered inwardly. Trying to show off in front of others? This wasn't the way to do it!
Everyone knows the difference between having weapons in one's hand and not. Although sticks aren't as powerful as a spear or broadsword, they are still much better than going bare-handed.
But they did not know that the stick in Bai Qi's hand was completely useless because his internal energy cultivation technique was too low-level. His internal energy couldn't be transmitted to the weapon.
Instead, he could unleash his full combat power bare-handed.
"Roar—”
The Magnificent Tiger let out a sharp roar. Ever since being captured by the Great Zhou soldiers, it had been starving for several days and had long wanted to find someone to serve its meal.
Seeing Bai Qi about to slide-tackle him, the tiger opened its blood-red jaws and pounced without hesitation.
It's over!
The village headman shook his head. Hunters hunt by understanding their prey's habits.
But Bai Qi wasn't a hunter, he was merely a scholar sent to this frontier region.
How could he possibly know a tiger's habits?
Even if you have immense strength, it's useless!
Bai Qi was indeed unfamiliar with tigers' habits, but he needed to gain immense power, to protect his beloved and to seek revenge for his mother.
Then he must stake his life on it!
Bai Qi neither dodged nor evaded, waiting for the tiger to pounce. Just as the tiger's jaws were about to bite his head, he slightly tilted his head, and the tiger began to bite his shoulder instead.
The tiger's sharp fangs pierced directly into Bai Qi's flesh. The intense pain caused his adrenaline to surge, unleashing the greatest power he possessed in this life-or-death crisis.
"He's dead!"
On the platform, three young generals stamped their feet and beat their chests, realizing it was too late to go to the rescue.
They were filled with anger. They should have grabbed a bow earlier, using an arrow, and perhaps even killed the tiger with a single shot.
But now, finding a bow and arrow was clearly too late.
Just when they thought Bai Qi was doomed,
Bai Qi roared angrily. He poured his internal power onto his right fist, which fiercely struck directly to the tiger's neck.
The neck is the most vulnerable part of any animal. And internal power has the power to transform the ordinary into the extraordinary, greatly amplifying the destructive force of Bai Qi's punch.
Just with a thud, Bai Qi's punch pierced through the tiger's neck, causing both man and the tiger to fall to the ground at the same time.
"Brother Bai Qi!"
Miao'er burst into tears, about to ignore her family's pleas and rushed into the ring of fire.
But the next moment, a roar rang out. Bai Qi plunged his hands into the tiger's neck, tearing its head apart.
The tiger's neck sprayed with tiger blood like a fountain.
Tearing a tiger and leopard apart alive!
Boom—
The scene fell into dead silence.
Everyone stared in disbelief at this sight.
The burly man who had drawn the fifth bow was utterly shocked.
He was also a hunter who had once encountered wolves, tigers, and leopards alone in the mountains and forests. But he dared not do so in exchange for injuries.
What ruthlessness and decisiveness!
"Righteous warrior! Righteous warrior! Righteous warrior!"
He roared frantically. The people of Qin deeply respected heroes, and a martial spirit was ingrained in their blood. He could only feel sincere admiration for such a strongman.
The village headman stared wide-eyed, unable to close his mouth for a long time. Was this still the same scholar who had once been so weak who couldn't even kill a chicken?
Even veterans who had seen battle wouldn't possess such courage.
This wasn't just strength. It was a life-for-a-life exchange!
Miao'er clutched her chest, feeling as if her heart was about to leap out of her chest. Her face flushed, and she was overjoyed.
"Brother Bai Qi, you are Miao'er's greatest hero!"
Which girl doesn't like heroes?
She had originally thought Bai Qi was just a weak scholar. But today, she realized that he surpassed all the heroes she had ever seen.
The row of elite soldiers were utterly awestruck. Previously, they had only heard rumors of a peerless hero who had been tearing apart tigers and leopards. But who had ever witnessed it with their own eyes?
Today, they saw it.
But the most awestruck were the three young generals on the platform. They saw the intense desire for victory in Bai Qi's eyes, and the calm and fearless demeanor Bai Qi displayed when facing life-and-death crises.
This is incredibly domineering, ruthless, and decisive.
This can only be seen in veterans who have fought a hundred battles.
The Qin army general was the first to raise his fist in celebration, filled with immense pride that the Qin people had produced another peerless warrior. The people spontaneously start to chant that immortal battle song.
Just as the Qin generals decided to declare Bai Qi the elite warrior of the Great Zhou. Suddenly, a sharp scream came from the crowd.
"Bear! Watch out, a bear!"
Miao'er's face turned deathly pale. At that moment, she saw the huge black bear sneak up behind Bai Qi. Then, the bear stood up like a human, brandishing its paw, about to strike Bai Qi on the back of the head.
The previously excited shouts abruptly ceased, and everyone's hearts sank to the bottom of a deep abyss.
As everyone knew, bears were incredibly strong, far stronger than tigers, and this black bear was a full four meters tall. This claw could instantly smash Bai Qi's head into a rotten watermelon.
Now, it was too late for everyone to try to rescue him. Because this bear was far too cunning, seemingly possessing intelligence. It even dared to launch a surprise attack!
The Qin general roared inwardly, "Are my Qin people about to lose such a valiant warrior?"
Bai Qi suddenly turned around. His long hair whipped through the air with immense force, the stench of tiger blood on it spraying like raindrops from an umbrella onto the black bear's face. And Bai Qi's eyes held an endless killing intent!
In this life-or-death moment, Bai Qi recalled the horrific scene of his mother being severed in two sections by a single sword strike from a flying immortal.
A blood feud.
The boundless killing intent hidden within Bai Qi merged with his inner strength, the killing intent seemingly materializing, his eyes instantly turning blood-red.
He roared at the black bear like a demon from the deepest hell, "Kill!"
