Tang Yi had killed a Golden-blooded Extreme Shadow Bird on his first day in the Level 5 region of the Wind Moon Forest, so he was quite familiar with them.
Of course he was. How could he not be familiar with it? Its corpse was still sitting in his system backpack.
However, this one was a richer gold, larger in size, and terrifyingly fast. It seemed even more powerful than the Golden-blooded Extreme Shadow Bird Tang Yi had encountered before.
And ahead of this Golden-blooded Extreme Shadow Bird, a tiny Demon Beast was fleeing for its life. It was in a sorry state, covered in injuries, and appeared to be hunted by the massive bird behind it.
And as for the little Demon Beast’s appearance...
’A cat?’
That’s right. It looked remarkably similar to a kitten from Tang Yi’s home planet, Earth, and was about the same size. However, this one had yellow markings, a long, slender tail shaped like a hook, and eerie, jade-green eyes, setting it apart from the cats of Earth.
In fact, this Demon Beast was even cuter than any cat from Earth. If not for its current ragged state obscuring its natural brilliance, it would likely have been even more beautiful.
Of course, Tang Yi wouldn’t be fooled by the Demon Beast’s appearance. After all, for such a tiny, adorable creature to consistently evade a Demon Beast famed for its speed like the Golden-blooded Extreme Shadow Bird, its own strength was clearly anything but ordinary.
Besides, it had appeared in a Level 5 Demon Beast region. How could it possibly be just an ordinary creature?
"Interesting."
Tang Yi watched the two figures in pursuit and smiled faintly, then cast his Celestial Eye Technique on the small Cat Demon.
Name: Golden Blood Green-eyed Tiger
Level: 46 (Juvenile, Level 5 Demon Beast)
Description: A juvenile King of tigers, a Demon Beast with golden Holy Blood flowing through its veins. It possesses immense power and can reach the Beast Venerable Level upon reaching adulthood.
Assessment: Low Threat (Relative to Player)
"Oh?"
Tang Yi was slightly taken aback when he read the Golden Blood Green-eyed Tiger’s description.
’When I first saw it being hunted, I thought it was just a little cat. I can’t believe this little thing is actually a tiger!’
’And...’
’This little thing is still just a juvenile, and it can reach the Beast Venerable Level when it grows up?’
Seeing those words, Tang Yi wondered, ’Does the Wind Moon Forest really have Beast Venerable Level Demon Beasts?’
’Could this Golden Blood Green-eyed Tiger be the offspring of a Beast Venerable Level Demon Beast? Otherwise, why would a creature like this appear in the Wind Moon Forest?’
Before he could think any further, the two Demon Beasts arrived in front of him, one chasing the other.
The little Golden Blood Green-eyed Tiger hadn’t noticed him at first and didn’t realize a human youth was blocking its path.
It was slightly startled when it finally saw him, but it didn’t stop moving.
After all, compared to the seemingly ’frail’ human youth in front of it, the giant bird behind it was far more terrifying.
So without a second thought, it charged straight at Tang Yi.
Meanwhile, the Golden-blooded Extreme Shadow Bird paid Tang Yi no mind at all. In its eyes, a mere human youth posed no threat whatsoever. Catching up to the Golden Blood Green-eyed Tiger and eating it—that was what mattered.
The two Demon Beasts had their own agendas, but both completely ignored Tang Yi’s presence.
"Interesting."
Tang Yi chuckled. Seeing the two Demon Beasts continuing to charge his way, he felt a surge of excitement.
’This is perfect. I was just about to leave the Wind Moon Forest and stop wasting time hunting Demon Beasts to level up, and right as I’m about to go, two of them deliver themselves to my doorstep. How could I not be happy about this?’
’Free Experience Value, and I don’t even have to lift a finger to find it. It’s like manna from heaven!’
With a flick of his wrist, Tang Yi produced the Shadow Remnant Sword.
As far as Tang Yi was concerned, while the Golden Blood Green-eyed Tiger could reach the Beast Venerable Level in adulthood, it was still quite weak at the moment. The greater threat to him was the Golden-blooded Extreme Shadow Bird.
So, the moment the Shadow Remnant Sword appeared, Tang Yi’s first target wasn’t the Golden Blood Green-eyed Tiger, but the giant bird pursuing it.
"Celestial Heart Guidance!"
HUM!
Tang Yi pointed the Shadow Remnant Sword forward. The blade hummed softly, and instantly, a white line of energy, about two fingers thick, shot out from its tip.
The white line moved so fast it was impossible to track with the naked eye. It locked onto the Golden-blooded Extreme Shadow Bird in the sky and struck it in a flash.
The Golden-blooded Extreme Shadow Bird’s attention was entirely focused on the Golden Blood Green-eyed Tiger. It hadn’t paid Tang Yi any mind, so when he suddenly attacked, it failed to react immediately.
If it had shown Tang Yi a shred of respect and kept an eye on him, it might have been able to use its miraculous life-saving techniques to dodge this incredibly powerful Sword Skill.
Unfortunately, the Golden-blooded Extreme Shadow Bird hadn’t spared Tang Yi a single glance. So, when the white line came shooting toward it, it had no time to even react.
It didn’t even have time to activate its life-saving Skill before the white line struck.
WHOOSH!
The white line pierced straight through the Golden-blooded Extreme Shadow Bird’s body, leaving a massive, bloody hole.
The Golden-blooded Extreme Shadow Bird’s golden body instantly plummeted from the sky. It was dead on the spot, killed in a single blow!
One hit!
With just one strike, Tang Yi had killed the Level 5 Demon Beast, the Golden-blooded Extreme Shadow Bird, and gained several hundred thousand Experience Value.
Moreover, this Golden-blooded Extreme Shadow Bird was even stronger and considerably faster than the one Tang Yi had encountered a few days ago.
And yet, it too had been killed by Tang Yi in a single strike...
A Level 5 Demon Beast, with strength comparable to a Battle King, couldn’t even withstand a single one of Tang Yi’s attacks. It was truly shocking.
Of course, the Golden-blooded Extreme Shadow Bird underestimating Tang Yi and not paying him any attention was one factor.
On the other hand, Tang Yi’s own power had increased significantly—he was several times stronger than before. Furthermore, he had used an Earth Tier Upper Grade sword skill. Considering the immense Attack Power and incredible speed of his strike, it wasn’t all that surprising that the Golden-blooded Extreme Shadow Bird was killed due to its carelessness.
In a battle between masters, a tenth of a second can decide victory and defeat, life and death. This holds true for fights between humans and Demon Beasts as well.
The Golden-blooded Extreme Shadow Bird had only itself to blame for its arrogance in daring to underestimate Tang Yi.
As for the Golden Blood Green-eyed Tiger, which had been frantically trying to escape, it came to a shocked halt when it saw Tang Yi slay the Golden-blooded Extreme Shadow Bird in a single, godlike strike. Its eyes, now fixed on Tang Yi, were filled with terror. Its body trembled violently, as if it was scared out of its wits.
The Golden Blood Green-eyed Tiger knew just how terrifyingly strong the big bird behind it had been. And now, that powerful creature had been killed in a single blow by the human before it. Just how powerful must this human be?
Could it possibly escape from a human like this?
