The myth begins with the Lotus Lantern

Chapter 147 Demon
The two figures were in a stalemate, the wind was mixed with clouds, the demonic energy mixed with smoke and dust was rolling outwards. Ding Lin and the tiger demon had tried their best to gather the demonic energy to make the attack more sharp, but with them as the center, a layer of the ground under their feet was still scraped away.

Ding Lin stared straight ahead with an inexplicable look flashing in his eyes, as if he was looking at the entangled swords, but if you look closely, you will find that he is looking at the back of the tiger monster. Ding Lin refined the divine seal and became a god, so this entire mountain became his territory, and as the manifestation of the control hub, the divine seal could appear in any corner of the mountain as long as he wanted.

Behind the tiger demon, a large seal full of cracks flashed. The slight fluctuation was obscured by the two violently entangled auras and smashed hard into the back of the tiger demon's head.

It's impossible to dodge at such a close distance.

Ding Lin's face was no longer concealed, and a cruel look was revealed. He stared at the divine seal, and suddenly he caught a glimpse of the tiger demon's face out of the corner of his eye. He was stunned for a moment, it was such a familiar expression. The next moment, Ding Lin came to his senses, wasn't this the expression on his face at this moment?

The same complacency, the same cruelty.

not good!

Ding Lin's heart was filled with alarm. Without thinking, he suddenly turned sideways. The next moment, he felt a pain in his left shoulder. With a "sizzling" sound, something bit his shoulder and tore it hard. The force was so strong that the flesh and bones were bitten off! Fortunately, he noticed something at the last moment and dodged slightly, otherwise the bite would have started with his head. One of the hands holding the sword could not bear the force immediately, and a piece of the left shoulder was missing. Although the arm was still connected to the body, it was only connected in the literal sense. He could no longer control it, and a large piece of the left shoulder joint was missing!

But the long knife that was in a stalemate with the sword could not press forward.

"boom!"

The tiger demon turned his head sharply. It was also the last moment. While he was feeling proud, he suddenly had an ominous premonition in his heart. The big seal brushed past his scalp. It was impossible for him to completely avoid it at such a close distance. The strong blow on his right shoulder at an angle broke the bone. His hands holding the knife and his right arm also lost the strength and dropped limply.

Once again, Ding Lin and Hu Ya made almost the same choice.

"boom!"

The air exploded, injuring one hand, and an evil spirit flowed into the body through the wound.

Ding Lin and the tiger demon did not dare to be negligent. After they were hit, they realized the other party's choice belatedly. However, their bodies' instinctive stress reaction was inevitable. The demonic energy that was originally reserved for defense was activated, causing the air to vibrate more. Because one hand could not fully control this huge force, they both groaned, and their bodies were thrown backwards and they retreated.

The tiger demon groaned, his face turning as pale as gold paper in an instant. He could feel that, although the demonic energy surging into his body was slightly inferior in quantity, its quality was definitely not inferior to his own. And the dragon demon was clearly only at the second stage of Yuanshen, so there was only one possibility.

“Golden elixir.” The tiger demon grinned, “No wonder you have completely refined the divine seal and possessed the golden elixir. It’s no wonder that you were recruited by the Heavenly Court. You are now qualified to fight me to the death.”

After all, he was a powerful demon with many years of experience and was knowledgeable. As soon as he fought with Ding Lin, the tiger demon saw the clues. In an instant, his eyes changed again, and he became more fearful. Although he had roughly judged Ding Lin's strength based on Ding Lin's several attacks, and he also tried his best and did not hold back during the fight, but in his heart he still felt that he had a greater chance of winning.

After all, the tiger demon was one level higher than Ding Lin in terms of cultivation, and both the quantity and quality of his demonic energy were higher than Ding Lin's. But now with the bonus of the golden elixir, the quality gap had been eliminated. Even if he still had the advantage in cultivation, Ding Lin also had the advantage of the terrain. At this moment, the tiger demon truly felt that they were evenly matched, and for the first time he had the idea that it was still unknown who would win. Maybe he really could die here today?
A thought flashed through the tiger demon's mind.

"puff!"

Ding Lin spat out a mouthful of blood, and then he felt a little relieved in his chest. A flash of inspiration came to his hand, and he took out something and stuffed it into his mouth. He retreated a little farther than the tiger demon, and glanced at his left shoulder out of the corner of his eye. There was a big piece missing, and a crescent moon was bitten out of it.

"Ghost!"

Ding Lin said, although he lived shorter, he had seen a lot, plus with the knowledge from his previous life in his mind, he immediately figured out what the thing that just appeared behind him was. No wonder, if it weren't for Wang Chang, the tiger demon dared to stay after seeing Ao Shan's tribulation formation. When they first met, he gave Ding Lin the impression that he was inferior to Ao Shan, but with this backup plan and the help of his minions, his real strength might not be inferior to Ao Shan.

"Very good, you are better than I expected," the tiger demon looked at Ding Lin and stuffed a handful of pills into his mouth. His eyes flashed with brilliance and he suddenly became excited. "After all, I have the upper hand between you and me. If I can kill you, I can get a golden pill. After my cultivation is complete and I have passed the tribulation, the dragon and tiger will meet, which will give me an extra 10% chance of success. If you kill me, my inner pill will also benefit you, but it will only have a half-effective effect at most."

Ding Lin's eyes were dim, and he glanced at the bodies of the sheep demon and the bear demon. In a short period of time, he and the tiger demon practiced killing the sheep demon and the bear demon, and then they were seriously injured after their respective sneak attacks.

Suddenly, Ding Lin's expression changed again.

"call!"

A demonic wind blew, and two illusory shadows floated up on the bodies of the sheep demon and the bear demon. The two demons died, and their earth souls were freed from the confinement of their fleshly bodies and returned to heaven and earth. Only their life souls still remained in their fleshly bodies. At this moment, they sat up from their fleshly bodies with dull eyes. They looked at the tiger demon and bowed down.

"Owner."

The sheep demon and the bear demon shouted in dull voices.

Just as the two demons' souls were being enslaved, seven soul shadows emerged from the water from behind the tiger demon. Nine was the maximum number. Although enslaving ghosts was an innate magical power of the tiger demon, this method of captivating people and making them unable to rest in peace even after death was really against the harmony of nature. Naturally, it could not be endless. Nine was the limit. All nine soul shadows were at the level of Yuanshen realm.

Since Ding Lin had seen through his plan, the tiger demon no longer concealed his true intentions and revealed all his cards.

brush!
The tiger demon held the knife in his left hand, made a knife flower, and swung it vigorously. Although he lost one hand and his body was disturbed by Ding Lin's alien demonic energy, the demonic energy could not flow smoothly and his strength was greatly reduced, but with the help of nine ghosts in the Yuanshen realm, the tiger demon's strength increased instead of decreased.
