The man in black spoke in a vicious tone. What he said was not false and could be carried out one by one.

After hearing the black-clothed man's words, the Scarlet Tiger, who was roaring nonstop, trembled even more violently.

With a light roar, the Scarlet Tiger finally lowered its noble head and knelt in front of the black-clothed man.

In the face of life and death, the Scarlet Tiger finally chose to live. At the same time, it also meant that it had given up its freedom.

Lin Qing watched from the side, his heart tightening when he saw this scene. He knew that the Scarlet Tiger was about to submit to the black-clothed man.

"That's good." Seeing the Scarlet Tiger's image, the black-clothed man couldn't help but laugh out loud, looking like he was in a very good mood.

"Don't resist, otherwise, you won't be able to withstand it!" The black clothed man said in a low voice.

Chi Hu's body trembled as if he felt something. His eyes were filled with unwillingness, but in the end, they turned into helplessness.

Placing his palm on his lips, the black-clothed man lightly gritted his teeth, and at the center of his palm, a surge of scarlet blood flowed.

The man in black's expression was grave. He gently swiped his blood-stained finger across the air. The air seemed to have suddenly frozen at this moment. A strange feeling appeared beside him.

"Using blood as the core, forge the ancient contract …" The black clothed man read out softly.

The blood suddenly trembled and turned into a hexagram that shot toward the center of the red tiger's brows.

A large "King" character appeared on Chi Hu's forehead at this moment. It suddenly lit up, bringing with it a dark glow that blocked the hexagram, and Chi Hu's face also seemed to show signs of struggling.

"Do you want to die?!" The man in black roared with an intimidating tone.

The struggling Crimson Tiger's body suddenly trembled, and the word 'King' on his forehead dimmed in an instant.

The hexagram formation's light flickered and turned into a rainbow of colors. It entered the center of Chi Hu's brows and entered the body of the Scarlet Tiger before vanishing into nothingness.

Seeing the hexagram, the black clothed man could faintly feel what the scarlet tiger was thinking. In the underworld, there was also a connection that allowed him to extinguish the scarlet tiger's life force with a single thought.

The pleasure of manipulating other people made the man in black laugh out loud.

With a tap of his finger, the Beast Subduing Ring turned into a ray of light and disappeared into the sleeves of the black clothed man.

As the Beast Subduing Ring was withdrawn from the Scarlet Tiger's body, the violent aura emanating from the Scarlet Tiger's body seemed to become even more explosive, as if it was waiting to kill someone.

The black-clothed man glared at the Scarlet Tiger, causing the tiger's originally explosive aura to immediately become like a punctured balloon. It instantly became listless and it lay at the feet of the black-clothed man like a docile kitten.

If they hadn't exchanged blows before, perhaps Lin Qing wouldn't have thought that the current Crimson Tiger was the King's Tiger from before.

The Scarlet Tiger's reaction made the black-clothed man nod his head in satisfaction. He turned his gaze towards Lin Qing and did not speak for a long time, as if he was deep in thought.

Lin Qing was also standing at the side. She secretly clenched her fists, as though she was prepared to launch an explosive attack at the black-clothed man at any moment.

Although Lin Qing knew that if the black-clothed person really wanted to do him harm, as long as he let the ferocious beast, Scarlet Tiger, which he had just tamed, attack him, he would be able to take his life. Furthermore, his resistance was destined to be futile and his vigilance useless.

"Sir Lin, thank you so much for your previous visit." After a long while, the black-clothed man cupped his hands together and said.

Hearing the words of the black clothed man, Lin Qing felt a huge weight in her heart. She could not help but let out a long sigh of relief as her taut muscles relaxed.

The man in black smiled, showing a noncommittal expression.

"At this point, the red tiger has descended. Sir Lin should have left by now." The black-clothed man faintly said, but his words contained a hint of threat.

Lin Qing's expression darkened. He knew that the black-clothed man wanted to keep the Scarlet Fruit for himself, using it to drive him away.

Although she knew that she was no match for the man in black, Lin Qing still wanted to fight for it. After all, the man in black had sworn an oath to her before, and the most important part of his path of cultivation was Karma. If the man in black wanted to raise his cultivation to a higher level, he would not be able to harm Lin Qing's life.

With a darkened face, the man in black sneered, "There are some things that do not belong to you. If you take them, you will have to pay a price!"

"If we don't fight for it, who knows? It definitely won't be mine!" Lin Qing immediately retorted.

"Hmph." The black-clothed person flung his sleeve and left.

The Scarlet Tiger lowered its head and followed closely behind the man in black. It no longer had any trace of the imposing aura of a beast king.

Lin Qing smiled but didn't say anything.

Although Lin Qing knew that the killing intent in the black-clothed man's heart had already surged, for the sake of the Scarlet Fruit, Lin Qing believed that she would still fight for it.

Thinking of this, Lin Qing also kept up with the black-clothed man.

After a short while, Lin Qing followed the black-clothed man to a spot on the mountain range that was facing the sun. The mountain was quite steep, and the path ahead was extremely difficult to tread.

However, Lin Qing and the black-clothed man's martial arts weren't ordinary people. They didn't feel anything from the path before them.

On a cliff, the black-clothed man also stopped under the Scarlet Tiger's lead.

This place was already halfway up the cliff. Looking down, one could see a group of trees. Even up above, there were still layers of mist.

Halfway up the mountain, there was a platform. The black-clothed man and Lin Qing only jumped up from the cliff one after another before landing on the platform.

There was a cave in front of the platform, and it was dark and gloomy. The inside of this cave was burning red, and there was also a scorching heat coming out of it.

Looking at this, Lin Qing was deep in thought. She knew that the Scarlet Fruit Tree would probably grow here, and this place was probably the Scarlet Tiger's lair.

Roughly a moment ago, it was still the King of Beasts, but the forest beasts in the forest would not dare to disobey, and at this moment, they had already become the pets of others. With their lives on the line, how could these differences not cause the Scarlet Tiger, this fierce beast, to sigh in its heart?

However, Lin Qingfei was a Scarlet Tiger, and towards the Scarlet Tiger's expression, he did not have a shred of sympathy, and a Scarlet Tiger was not worth Lin Qing's sympathy either, because the number of humans that had died beneath the Scarlet Tiger's feet was simply countless.

"Sir Lin, do you really want to come with me?" The black-clothed man turned his head and said coldly, his eyes seemed to contain a trace of a different emotion.

"At least I have to give it a try. If there are a few more Scarlet Fruits on the Scarlet Fruit Tree, I'm sure Fellow Daoist wouldn't mind giving me one, right?" Lin Qing smiled and said.

The man in black humphed and said, "Don't throw away your life."
