C32 Green Grass Sable

In the dense forest, Xiang Shaoyun brought the little guy and returned. He planned to send it back to the Greater Demonic Beast.

He was clear that the demonic beast also had feelings. As long as he didn't harm this little guy, the Greater tiger beast would not kill him.

At this time, the baby tiger hopped beside him. From time to time, it would jump on some rocks and play with some weeds. Honestly, it was quite a cute scene.

Xiang Shaoyun could not be bothered to care about it. All along the way, he was carefully guarding against any surprise attack from the Greater Demonic Beast.

After a long while, the baby tiger released a "meow" sound, causing Xiang Shaoyun to look back.

This little guy had dug out an inferior-grade ginseng from somewhere and was now gnawing on it.

"Little guy, wait for a second!" Xiang Shaoyun exclaimed.

However, the baby tiger was eating with an unreal speed. Within seconds, he had devoured half of the yellow ginseng.

"This is bad!" Xiang Shaoyun's expression changed. With one hand, he grabbed the little fellow and was about to make a run for it.

Ji!

An ear-piercing sound was heard as a figure rushed out of a hidden corner like a bolt of lightning.

This onslaught of attacks was simply too fast for him to dodge. Xiang Shaoyun was holding onto the little fellow, so he decided that rolling to the side would be the best course of action. Even though he rolled over, a claw mark was still left on his shoulder, causing blood to ooze out.

Xiang Shaoyun endured the pain, gritted his teeth, and bounced back up. However, the other party had attacked once again. Its speed was so fast that it was even hard to grasp.

Xiang Shaoyun dodged to the side without even thinking, yet his clothes were ripped.

However, Xiang Shaoyun was finally able to see his attacker. It was a demonic beast, Green Grass Sable!

The Green Grass Sable was about half a meter tall. It stood on its hind legs while baring its teeth at him; Its tail was perked just like its green fur.

No, to be exact, it was glaring at the baby tiger in Xiang Shaoyun's hands.

This was because the yellow ginseng was the inferior-grade herb it was guarding. It was an essential herb for the sable, yet that tiger ate half of it.

This sable's strength was equivalent to the second grade of the Astral Force Stage.

Fortunately, sables weren't all that proficient in offensive attacks. Otherwise, Xiang Shogun would have been in big trouble.

The sables were known for their speed, which was as fast as lightning. Ordinary Astral Force cultivators wouldn't even be able to see its attack.

Swish!

The sable let out a strange cry and once again pounced towards Xiang Shaoyun. Its speed increased by another level this time, and it was clear that it was planning to kill Xiang Shaoyun and the baby tiger!

Insight!

Xiang Shaoyun knew that he could no longer hide, and suddenly his eyes opened wide. He stared straight at the Green Grass Sable and activated the Insight skill that he got from meditation. It allowed him to see the trajectory of the sable rushing over.

Tornado Kick!

He swept his leg with all his strength planning to annihilate the beast with a single attack.

However, the ferret shrank its body mid-air and avoided Xiang Shaoyun's kick. After that, it flew towards the other side of Xiang Shaoyun.

Hiss!

Blood once again bloomed on his arm as a scar appeared on his arm. This time, the attack was quite severe because his bones could be seen from the gnash.

"Get out of my way!" Xiang Shaoyun roared in anger as he threw another kick.

This time, Xiang Shaoyun's attack was his defense. He gave the sable no time to reach and threw one Storm Kick after another. Even the sable had to fear the 1,000-pound force behind his kicks.

Yet, he couldn't land even a single solid hit because of the sable's insane speed.

At this time, the sable saw an opportunity and rushed towards the tiger cub in Xiang Shaoyun's arms.

With a singular motive of killing the perpetrator who stole its ginseng, the sable rushed forward.

Xiang Shaoyun's Insight could not be unleashed in time. The sable was about to land a fatal blow on the baby tiger.

Roar!

Suddenly, the tiger cub gave a roar. It wasn't a roar one would expect from a few days-old tiger cubs. It was dignified, to begin with, and it instilled a subliminal sense of dominance and intimidation in the listener.

Although the sable was a powerful demon, it was still afraid of the roar. It shrank and ceased attacking the baby tiger.

Xiang Shaoyun seized the critical moment and quickly attacked with his finger.

Astral Asunder!

Puff!

Just like the offense, sables were also bad at defense. Xiang Shaoyun's finger attack had directly injured it.

But sables also had cockroach-like tenacity. It turned its body over, let out a strange cry, and then it disappeared into the underbrush!

Xiang Shaoyun did not continue the pursuit. He had lost a lot of blood from his wounds. If he didn't treat it soon, he just might die here.

After Xiang Shaoyun bandaged it up briefly, he saw the baby tiger digging mud in a corner.

He quickly walked over, and his eyes lit up. He grabbed the little guy, threw it to a side, and began digging instead. He then swept away the dirt on the ground, and with a look of pleasant surprise on his face, he said, "This, such large yellow ginseng? It's at least three hundred years! It is a pseudo intermediate-grade herb."

Meow!

The cub had turned back into a cute little kitten again. The mighty aura of a king could no longer be seen around it.

"Little guy, you just ate yellow ginseng, so this one belongs to me. It can be considered the reward for the trouble you've brought me," said Xiang Shaoyun to the baby tiger.

This ginseng had the effect of prolonging one's lifespan, and it also had the ability to increase the strength of cultivators. Thus, it was easily worth three thousand golden teals.

Xiang Shaoyun wrapped the ginseng up and continued with the baby tiger on his back.

By the time he returned to the original tree, all that remained of that man was bits and pieces of flesh strewn everywhere. It was, by no means, an appealing sight.

Xiang Shaoyun had killed many inferior demonic beasts, but he had never killed a human before. When he saw these broken limbs, he could not help but vomit.

"It's not like I've never seen a dead person before. Haven't there been a lot of people who died for me? So, why am I so uncomfortable? To gain true hegemony, I have to be vicious. I, Xiang Shaoyun, will fear nothing!" Xiang Shaoyun screamed and forcefully suppressed his emotions. He made himself look at this scene of carnage.

Then, his gaze fell onto a weapon that the dead man carried. He grasped it in his hand. "This is at least a second-grade sword. I can use this as my secondary weapon."

Soon after, his gaze swept the surroundings and quickly landed on a package not far away.

He ran over and picked up the bag. When he saw the contents, his eyes lit up. "What a bountiful harvest! This guy was able to collect a hundred inferior-grade herbs, but what a pity. Now it's all mine!

He took a closer look and discovered that other than these inferior-grade herbs, there was also a jade bottle containing four Healing Pills, as well as some golden teals and combat skill.

"What luck!" Xiang Shaoyun laughed. Just as he was about to wrap up the bag again, he heard a few subtle movements, which immediately made him nervous.

Swoosh!

Suddenly, a slash, which was aimed at his head, struck him.
